ng Chief of Police Jordan received a
telegram from the sheriff at Ashevills,

Dougherty is a young man aoout
23 years old, light complexion and

recognition by pulling his hat over his
face.
He stated, when brought to police
headquarters that he arrived here
| Sunday. On the night on which the
murder is charged to have occurred,
he said he was sitting in his fathers
house in Asheville, when he saw two
men approaching on horses which hs
thought had been stolen from his
father. He seized a piece of stove
wood and rushed out and met them.
One proved to be Terence and tha
other Dougherty's brother, whose lsat
blew off.
The accused stopped down to pick
it up, and as he did so the horse upon
which Terence rode SHE'D, and he was
thrown on to an iron bridge, fractur.
ing his skull and dying In 10 minutes.
Dougherty claims that he went after
the doctor and that he remained in
Asheville for some time after the oc-
currence, when his friends told him
that he had better go away. He went
through Alabama and finally arrived
here Sunday. Since leaving Asheyille
he went under the name of Robert
Murphy. The sheriff at Asheville, who
offered 5000 reward for his apprehen-
sion, has been notified Of his arrest.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
SCHOOLS FOR THE BLIND.

0NhOOhO FOIb Ihh DhlNOs
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Census
Bureau has issued bulletin on the
subject of schools for the blind Ii
appears that the total number OF
these schools in the United States in
1889 was 2931, while in 1880 the mum
ber was 2041, an increase in the decade
Of 800. This increase, it is said, is due
to some extent to increased facilities
for the reception and education of the
blind in the schools established for
this purpose. The average annual
cost per pupil In the schools for the
blind from 1880 to 1890 was $25S.

and for such reasons hereby renounce the

Church, and ask that my remuneration

NEVER GOT THE PLACE.

Work That George r. Thompson Did for
President Hayes and Why He Did Not
Receive Foreign Consulate-How He
Made a Change in History.
George R. Thompson, Southern passenger
agent for the Pennsylvania lines, with
headquarters at New Orleans, arrived at
the Anderson yesterday, having come
North on his annual vacation.
Mr.. Thompson is one of the most inter-
esting characters connected with the Penn
svlvania system of railroads. He is a son
of the late Judge Thompson, of Ohio, and a
brother of Rev. DR.. John Ray Thompson,
the noted Brooklyn minister. Mr.. Thomp-
son is about IS years of age, and after gradu-
ating at college he was admitted to the bar,
soon after opening an Office in Wheeling,
W. Va.
A prominent Wheeling man who is well
acquainted with Thompson was also guest
at the Anderson yesterday. when Thomp-
son opened his office in Wheeling" said he,
Everybody predicted that he would go to
the front at once, and he did. His brother
was then pastor of the Chaplin Street NJ. f.
Church, and he also was popular and tai
ented. The brother, it is well known, soon
became President of the University of West
Virginia. and a year later was called to
Brooklyn, where there was demand for his
eloquence.
III Iut CdIlphlSu WHICH TcSuitCu III
nomination of r. B. Hayes for the Presi-
dency, George R. Thompson was such an
important factor that he is held responsible
by the enemies of Mr.. Hayes for his candi-
dacy. Thompson was made Chairman of the
West Virginia delegation, and they ere, of
course, instructed to vote for Br1stow.
After innumerable ballots a recess was
taken, and Thompson called his delegation
together for consultation. At that stage in
the game Hayes had only the Ohio
delegation at his back. Thompson argued
the hopelessness of the Bristow fight with SO
much eloQuence and force that the West
Virginia people voted in caucus to flop to
Hayes. Their action, which is now matter
of history, stampeded the entire convention,
and Rutherford B. Hayes was nominated"
"Was Mr.. Thompson rewarded"
"Well. there is the interesting part of the
story. Mr.. Thompson was promised an i'm
portant foreign consulate. He was invited
to come to Washington to receive his ap-
pointment and credentials, and went to the
Capital for that purpose. He waited two
weeks and every day was put on with
fresh promise. He is an impatient man and
as independent as the traditional hog on ice.
In passion he went to the Office of William
NJ. Evarts, Secretary of State, and in terms
more forcible than polite he told that diplo-
mat to go to Hades, using perhaps stronger
term

HOW MICKEY SMITH ESCAPED.
The Story of the Murderer's Flight Told by
Prisoner in Johnstown.

a Prisoner in Johnstown.
JoHNsTowN, Sept. 23.-[SpecidL. Seven
years ago last Saturday night a onelegged
man named Mickey Smith escaped from
the Cambria county Jail, where he was
confined under sentence of death for the
murder of John Ohahan, whom he shot
down in cold blood at an election, and the
escape was made about a month before the
date for the execution. Shortly after re-
' ard of $1,000 was offered for his apprehen-
sion.
To-day Silas Baldwin, who left here be-
cause of a serious charge, returned and was
arrested. He told a most remarkable story
Of how he had met Mickey Smith two years
a,ro near Fall River, \. Y. There are many
circumstances which would confirm his
story and the police believe it. Baldwin
says Smith told him that he did not escape
through the cellar, as reported. but walked
out the front door, with the full knowledge
OF the iailer. When outside some friends
took him in a closed carriage to the home of
his uncle few miles distant. Afterward he
v as visited by his family and was kept under
cover for six months. He then went to
Boston and from there to Ireland and for
several years past has been travelling
Through New York, with no attempt at con-
