j.
IA correspondent at Fish
Dam is informed, in reply to an
inquiry addressed to THE RE.
scoRDER, that it is the commonly
accepted belief that Jesus Christ
was born four years before the
beginning Of the Christian era.
The discrepancy is accounted
for by the fact that the present
system of reckoning dates was
not introduced until the sixth
century, when owing to defec-
tive chronology, the first year
of the era was placed four years
too late. Subsequent research
discovered the error, but it was
not deemed Of sufficient impor-
tance to make q change that
would involve all existing
chronology. Amy difficulty in
reference thereto is obivated by
placing the date of the birth Of
Jesus In theyear 4 B. G.

2. obahle rlnrder and Arson.

Last Friday, at MONDAY, a
dwelling house on Peabody
street, occupied by several col
ored women, caught fire, and a
negro child in il was burned to
death. Fannie Parrish, who
occupied one Of the rooms, left
her baby asleep upon the bed,
and went to attend her domestic
duties at the house of a white
family. During her absense
the house took fire. No alarm
was given, but the fire compan-
les were quickly on the ground
and saved the house from des-
truction. The bed on which
the baby was lying was burned
and the child was dead before
the fire was extinguished. Sarah
Trice, one of the inmates of the
house, was arrested on q warrant
charging her with burning it.
She had a hearing before Justice
Barbee. There was evidence
tending to show that she either
built a fire under the bed or pro-
cured il to be done, and also
that she had quarreled with
Fannie Parrish and threatened
TO get even with her. The mag
istrate committed her for trial
without bail.

TOBACCO TOPICS

Cigar manufacturers Of New
| York and Philadelphia, repre-
lsenting about one-fourth of the
whole cigar production of the
United States, have agreed up
on an increase of prices. The
Mckinley Gill, it ID alleged, I'M
creases the cost Of materials
and reduces profits: hence the
putting up ofiprices.
Southern Tobacconist: It is
understood that Mr.. I'll. j. Casey,
long with the P. III. Mayo To-
bacco Co., has connected HIM
self with the Blackwell Durham
Tobacco CO., ard some new de-
velopment are awaited from
these busy quarters, as Mr.. @.
is we'll qualified for anything
he undertakes in tobacco pro-.
ducts.
In a circular addressed to the
tobacco trade, Mr.. VIM. I'll.
Walker, Of Henderson, gives
his opinion Of the quality Of the
crop as follows: .There is nat
urally a very great disappoint-
ment in the crop as to quality,
as tits an average crop in pounds
but generally OF a nondescript |
character, and regarding what
is now held by planters, we
think fully So per cent. of lemon
color has been sold, and the av-
erage in general character. /"
The following is from the re-
port of the Durham tobacco
market, in the Southern Tobac-
mist Of the 9th instant:
"There has been sold in the
warehouses here since October
LIST, 1890, 1915 900 pounds Of to-
bacco, which is an increase
over last years sales Of nearly
two million pounds. Mr.. I. II.
President of the Tobac-
CO Trade, estimates that not
more than one-tenth of the crop
has been sold. The crop is a
very large one, much above
the average in quality. Our
manufacturers have increased
their output considerably overl
last years very large business.
This is an exception to many of
the towns in Virginia and North
Carolina. They start out with
bright prospects.
One of our plug firms sold q few
days ago 81 200 pounds of plug
to a Richmond merchant. The
business of the Mallory Durham
Cheroot Co. is increasing very /
They are several weeks
behind in filing their orders.
There will be several new to-
bacco enterprises started here

Queer Gamers 1T Fred Wittwer-Tooth-
ache the Origin Of HIS ~InsAnity.
On Monday Fred Wittwer disappeared
from his homo on Went Main street. His
friends anticipated that something was
wrong and II surprised none Of them when
IL was known that he had gone CRAZY. HI
was seep out At Joe Toole's place Monday.
Yesterday residents on Hauser boulevard
and Harrison avenue ~telephoned TO polide
headquarters that a crazy man was running
around out there In his shirt sleeves and
barsfooted. At an early hour yesterday
morning he was seen ON Hauser boulevard
by A. W. Markley. One Of his queer antics
was a habit of taking of his shocs and
stockings and exchanging the rights and
lefts. During the morning he covered a
great deal of ground in HIS roamtnCs about
the city. He was seen at n time on the
east side. He was perfectly harmless.
While on the Hauser boulevard, and pre-
sumably returning from some dis
tant point beyond the Brondwater hotel.
he took his overshoes off and
carefully laid them side by aide in the road.
After walking half a mile further east ne
took his shoes off and laid them in the road,
the heels pointing skyward. A hundred
yards further he took his socks on and laid
them in the road. Then he roamcd about
in his bare feet all over the west side and
afterwards went back after his footwear.
He was sitting in front of the Helena Ma
tional bank changing his shoes and stock
ings from one foot to the other whom a
couple of ofioerstoOk him in charge and sent
him to Jail. He wore a nearly now black
cloth suit and was placed i'll the bridal

hall to transfer the man to the county jail.
By this time Wittwer was stark naked. A
search was made for his clothing but none
could be found. The last of the shoes we're

''There he is, take him." said the marshal
to the sheriff, she IS your prisoner, you
have a warrant for him." Under the cir
cumstances the sheriff did not care to es-
cort the crazy man down the street ana the
marshal would not provide any clothing.
The unfortunate man remained at the city
jail all night naked. The cell was com
self with bed clothing during the night.
When asked why he burned his clothes he
said last night, II had to- That is the only
talking he has done since placed in jail. He
would not say anything to the officers.
Wittwer is a Swiss, unmarried and about
35 years of age. He has lived here about
eight years, and is a carpenter by trade.
Some weeks ago he had the toothache, and
it caused him a good deal of trouble. His
gums bled continually, and he re-
sorted to creosote as a remedy for stop
ping the pain. He used a great deal of the
drug, and has continued to use it ever
since. It is said he purchased a large
bottle of it. When arrested a vial of creo-
sote was found in one of his pockets. It is
believed that the use of this drug has
caused his insanity. and that it is only

The orders of his physician not to permit
any curious people to see Carl Teichert are
still being carried out. The prisoner was
not released yesterday, his friends thinking
it safer to leave him alone until he is
thoroughly composed.
His family moved out of the Grady house
yesterday. Miss Grady is getting along all
nicely and will be able to attend the pre-
liminarv hearing, which will be held in
Judge Sanders court this afternoon.
Teichert's friends, who are familiar with
his story of the unfortunate affair, say tina
there will be no change of sentiment when
his side OF the story is heard. One of these
said yesterday: ~ would have done the
