/ A Letter Introduced That Compro-
| misses q Young Physician.
I COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 13.-There were
/ startling and racy revelations to-day during
/ the progress OF the trial of Col J. Il. Nor
| row. The defense played its trump card,
and by it previous spicy developments were
! thrown into the shade. The public had
/ been prepared for important developments,
| but as they were not brought out yesterday
l st certain anticipated stages of the testi-
mony, it was beginning TO believe that they
/ might be suppressed.
| But they came out, nevertheless.
And they came a-hummlng and in the
most unexpected manner.
The defendant, Col. Morrow, was put
upon the stand and he produced copy of a
letter that he swore was written to him by
Miss Collie Fowler, the unfortunate girl
whose death has occasioned this sensational
affair. The contents thereof seemed to
cover every point in the case. Indeed they
were 80 minute and relevant that the state
will endeevor to prove it forgery or con
ooctIon.
The letter reflects In the most damaging
way upon a prominent young physician OF
Columbia. IL is direct contradiction Of
his testimony in regard to his dealings with
the deceased, stating that when she went 70
his office he informed her that she was half

agreed for the sum OF $3.50 to perform
criminal operation on a certain day. This
portion OF the letter has the effect OF shift
ing the crime charged from the defendant.
Another portion OF the letter assigns the
insurance agent, Howard, with being the
father OF the child, taus shifting another
burden from Morrow's shoulders.
The defense put up W. A. Guerry TO
prove that Miss Fowler was unusually in
innate with Howard, and Judge Melton
then announced that be rested

He testified that Miss Fowler was at his
office only once, Tuesday, the last day of

The solicitor asked him if there was any
thing else he wished TO say, and DIR. Kendall
began:

Judge Melton sprang to his feet at once
with the request to his honor to rule that
out. His honor began to say something,
but during it all DR.. Kendall talked on as

criminal in the country near here employed
a trusty negro TO assist him in making the

the object Of their search was supposed to
be in hiding, Names stopped at an old
neglected church and instructed bis assist
ant to go into the negro quarter and
reconnoiter, and further instructed him to
signal him with a whistle at his

and presence of mind which in this instance
beyond a doubt saved his life. He was too

discharged four shots into the venomous
reptile killing it. The snake was six feet
long and Mr.. Maness returned home with

DEBTS OF THE ALLIANCE ORGAN.

Creditors Wondering If the Alliance
is Not Responsible For Them.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 13.-The Georgia
state alliance may have to pay the debts of
the official organ, the Alliance Farmer.
This is one of the latest rumors stirred up
by the creditors of the official organ
The paper Is now In the hands of the sheriff,
and the creditors are bowling for their
money. Some OF them say that the state
alliance adopted the paper and required it
to give $4,000 bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of all its duties. Among these
was the important one of paying its debts
They are now asking: "Isn't the state alli-
ance responsible for the conduct of the
Alliance Farmer" And can't it be held
liable for our money!
The creditors want to know about that
$4,000 bond, and where il is Is it for
feitedg II so, won't the bondsmen have to
come up with the money? It is very prob
able that the financial troubles of the AlEi-
dnce Farmer will involve the state alliance
in a wrangle of some sort, and that very in
teresting. if not sensational, results wall

BUCKS LOAN TO SAUNDERS.
Attempts to Explain That Politics Hat
Nothing to do With It.


Nothing to do With 1t.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct I3.-The sensation
developed in Georgia politics, by the pub
location of Saunders letter to Tom Watson,
is vigorously denounced here by the third
partyites and Buck, Watson, Saunders and
Gray. the latter the editor OF the Peoples
party paper. Mr.. GRAY is very indignant
that the insinuation Of a deal between the
republicans and populists should be made,
and explains the matter in this way: "We
had ordered carload Of paper, TO get it at
wholesale rates. When IL arrived, being
out of funds, we wired Mr.. Watson to for
ward the amount He was absent and did
not receive the message. Mr.. Saunders
then asked Mr.. Buck to lend him 500 for
day or two and that gentleman complied.
1t was no more than any man would do for
q gentleman under similar circumstances.
1t had no political significance whatever"
In regard 90 the portion of the letter re.
ferring to the furnishing of negroes and
poor whites with Harrison electoral tickets
Editor GRAY said: "Of course il Is very well
known that Col. Bucks ticket will have the
Harrison electors on them and every prao-
tical politician knows it."
BUCKS STATEMENT.
Col. Bucks statement of the affair is
practically the same az Editor Gray's, but
still it reads little off colored, considered
as a business transaction, as the colonel
says. Here it is: ''Some weeks ago Mr..
Saunders, whom had never seen or known,
called upon me and stated that he wanted
to borrow 800 for a few days and
would give me his note for
it; that he wanted il % Il pay
the freight on carload of paper. l loaned
him the money and took his note on ten
days time. The note was promptly, paid.
So far as l know it had no connection In
any way with Mr.. Watson or his canvass
1t was not loaned for any particular pur-
pose whatever. 1t was simply business
transaction between Mr. Saunders and my
self. l have never met Mr.. Watson or had
any communication with him, directly or
indirectly. political or otherwise"

IN the IWln coal on6IJ at PittstOn
After Four Weeks Imprisonment
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
PITTsroN, PA, Oct 9.-One of the most
remarkable events ever recorded in the his
tory of anthracite coal mining was the find
ing of sixteen mules alive in the Twin shaft
in this place yesterday afternoon, the AMI
mails having teen for four weeks practi-
cally without food or water. The event
seems to prove the assertion frequently
made that the mine mule is the most hardy
of all working animals Four weeks ago
to-day, the head house and engine house of
the Twin shaft were destroyed by fire. The
debris filed the shaft, and made
entrance TO the mine impossible
Forty-four mules were in a bern inside
the mine at the time of the fire, and
after q week had been spent in fruitless en-
deavors to reach the animals, they were
given up for dead. The work of clearing
the shaft of debris and gas was kept up,
and yesterday afternoon, for the first time
since the fire. several officials entered the
sixteen Of the mules alive, although IN a
weak condition. The animals had broken
their fastenings, and kept life in themselves
by eating the straw which had formed the
stuff1ng OF their collars, chewing the feed
boxes and other soft wood. Twenty four
OF the animals were dead, while four have
not yet been found. 1t is supposed that the
latter have wandered to distant parts of
the mine. and 1t is thought they may yet be
found alive.

queerest cases on record occurred at the po-

Of Gilmer county, was arrested for assault
and battery committed on his wife fifteen
years ago in Gilmer county. The strange
part of the story is that the warrant was
not served, although sworn out, until ten
years after the assault was made. Fox then
gave bond for his appearance, but he heard
nothing of the case until tonight, five years
after giving bond. For the last four years
he has been a resident of Atlanta, respected
