STILL DOWN ON DIVORCES.

The South Carolina Legislature Sticks to
One Tradition at Least-The House to go
TO Augusta-Judge Kershaw Official His
torian of the Lost Cause,
Special to The Daily News.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 2.-Divorces
and the Augusta exposition furnished
the principal subjects of legislative
consideration today. The senate was
not in session. At the last session
several divorce bills were punched and
referred to committee, ,and the discus
sion today was on the committee bills.
1t was recently decided in the circuit
court that the South Carolina laws did
not recognize the validity of divorce
obtained in another State and that a
divorced person who married again
was bigamist in the eyes of the law
Of this State. 1t was to remedy this
that the bill was introduced. The
bill was killed after vigorous dis
cussion by vote of SO to 23.
For an hour there was wrangle
over the invitation to attend the
Augusta Exposition. Among the
points raised were that the free pass
law prohibited the members riding on
train furnished free by the exposi-
tion company and that the senate
would have to concur. 1t was, how
ever, determined that the house would
go it alone, and that the members
would leave here Tuesday morning
next.
Among the bills introduced today
are the following.
TO appropriate 100000 for the sea
island sufferers; to appoint eX-Judge
Kershaw commissioner for the State
to prepare for the use of future histo-
rians of the lost cause historical
sketch of the cause and of the part
that South Carolinians took therein,
compensation to be 81 900.

A correspondent of n contemporary
gives some interesting details, COM
pairing the value of land in tho city of
London today with the value of land
in ancient Rome.
A business freehold property in the
city, offered for sale by auction, was
withdrawn ut G176, 900, or ut the ratio
Of 945 per foot. 1t appears that the
house of Clodius cost what would be
G119,479 of our money. The Roman
palaces naturally fetched higher prices,
while smaller houses cost less. The
residence of Crassus sold for G2S, 600
On the whole it would seem that zeal
property in Rome in tho time of the
empire was almost as valuable as it is
in tho metropolis now. In Rome, as in
most cities during tho medieval ages
the houses were not only places of busi
ness, but also and chiefly private resi-
dences. The house of Clodius, for ex-
ample, besides its storcrooms, where
the produce from his rDuntry estates
was kept for sale, contained the usual
apartments Of a private mansion. The
Maison Plantin at Antwerp is fine
example of sixteenth century house,
where under tho same roof were tho
business offices and private apartments
of the proprietor AS in England and
tho low corpltrics, SO in Rome, tho value
of such Ii uses as places of residence
affected TIE prices they fetched in the
market. Therefore tho comparison
with tho price realized for purely bust
ness premises is in somo measure un-
trustworthy London Land and Water.

TO STICK ON SUGAR.
THE FIRST SYMPTOM OF DEMO-
CRATIC DISAFFECTION.

Senator's who PromIse a Fight = gainst tho
Ways and Means sCommittee--They MT
no Bounty but Higher Duty on Both
Raw and Refined.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. "A
prominent Southern senator, whose
constituents are interested in the pro-
duction of sugar, said this morning
that vigorous fight would be made
on the sugar schedule as reported by
the ways and means committee when
the bill came before the senate. From
what he said it can be assumed that
the senators from the sugar States will
oppose the endorsement of the bounty
system and will fight to the bitter end
the tariff that has been fixed upon
sugar. This senator stated that de-
termined effort would be made in
the senate to change the bill
in this particular, so that the
bounty feature will be eliminated
and the tax of not less than 1s cents
will be placed upon refined sugar, and
II cents on raw sugar. The conditions
Of the sugar industry, he said, were
misunderstood by the people of the
United States. The demands of the
sugar growers were in accordance with
the principles of the democratic party,
for it's adoption would result in the rev.
enue tariff admission Of raw sugar free
will enable rcfiners to import their pro
duct, to thee Xclusion of the domestic
article, and was against every principle
of the taxation from the foundation of
the government for the reason that
sugar, has been on the dutiablc list
since 1892 when 1t was placed there by
Hamilton, and where it had remained
down to the Mckinley act.

WARRINGTON, ID. C.,'Dec. 2.-Chas.
j. Hayes, who since 1875 has been re-
porter tor the house of representatives,
first with the New York Associated
Press and afterwards witKlthe United
Press, died this morning at his resi-
deuce in Anacostia in this city. He
was stricken with locomotor ataxa, a
form of paralysis, during the prolonged
session Of the senate discussing the sill
yer bill, when he assisted his father,
Henry G. Hayes, reporting the senate
and house, and never rallied the shock.
"Charley" Hayes, as he was universal
ly called, was known to nearly every
house man, and was liked and re-
spected by all, as we'll as by his news
paper associates. He and his father
have recorded all the events of history
at the capitol for the last twenty years
and they made the reports of these
events, as we'll as of the current work
of the house and senate which have
been furnished to the southern news
papers.
The younger Hayes knowledge of
parliamentary law was so accurate that
he was frequently appealed to by mem
bers to decide knotty questions, and
through all the bitter partisan strug-
giles of the reconstruction period, in
Guiding the Hayes-Tilden controversy
and later, the fairness and accuracy of
his reports were never once impugned.

AN OPAL WITH a HISTORY.
Five Men Who Wore tho Fateful Stone
Overwhelmed With Misfortune.

Overwhelmed With Misfortune.
Some years ago gentleman named
Beard, who was one of the wealthiest
residents of Houston, was travelling on
horseback from San Antonio to Austin.
In his saddlebags he had supply Of
provisions, liquor, ETC., the usual COM
missary supplies incident to horseback
journeys. A few miles from Austin he
stranger, sick almost unto death. He
asked Mr.. Beard for assistance and was
given some provisions and generous
draft of whisky. The fellow was suffer.
ing with II raging fever and realized
the necessity Of getting to where he
could have proper medical attention.
He asked Mr.. Beard if he could spare
him few dollars, at the samo time
drawing from his finger heavy gold
ring set with II magnificent opal, which
shot forth flashes of red, blue and gold
en- light as the stone was moved. Mr.
Beard took tho ring, giving the man
So, which was about half tho change he
had with him, promising to call on
the man in the hospital in Austin, where
he hoped to hear fro II friends and
would redeem tho ring. Mr.. Beard rode
on, after making the stranger as COM
Portable as possible.
Some two or three days later he went
to the hospital and found his man still
very i'll, but he had failed to receive
the expected remittance. After chat
ting with him awhile ho took his dc.
parture. When no visited tho hospital
next day, ho found the man was dead
He returned to Houston, forgetting all
about the ring, except as he happened
to notice it. The second day after his
return he lost a lawsuit involving $780,
600. From this tilno everything ho
touched proved unlucky. Ono day he
was in Austin gloomily meditating over
his ill luck when his eye chanced to
fall upon tho opal, which he swears
was emitting yellowish green light
and seemed to mock at him. Like Il
fash the story of the opal and the i'll
luck that attached to a possessor came
into his mind, and drawing the ring
from his finger he started for the Colo
RADIO river, intending to throw it in the
stream. On his way he met friend
the sheriff of the county, to whom he
communicated his intentions.
The officer said it was shame to
throw away such n magnificent gem
and begged that he might havo it i'll
stead. Tho opal changed ownership
right there, and three days afterward
the sheriff was shot and killed. The
opal then passed into tho hands of n
lawyer, who was thereupon unfortunate
until he died, and the ring went into
the hands of tho fifth man who soon
went crazy. From this timo Mr.. Beard
lost all trace of the opal. after follow
ing its history through tho hands of five
different men, all of whom met with
misfortune as soon as tho gem camo

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Hay Market
theatre at Halstead and Machson
streets caught fire this morning at 10
O'Clock. 1t proved to be one of the
worst fires which the fire department
has had to contend with for many
years on account of the freezing wealth
er which caused some delay in getting
all the streams to play on the burning
structure. The front of the building,
which was occupied by stores, saloons
and offices of doctors, dentists, photo
graphers, real estate agents. and jew
elers, was completelypgutted The fire
wall which separates the theatre
proper from the front of the build
ing saved it from destruction.
The only damage done to the theatre
was caused by water which poured in
Niagara torrents into the foyer and
part of the second balcony. The loss
to the theatre will not exceed $4,000.
The estimated loss on buildings and
contents Will amount to 100000. The
total insurance is $122,5 500 on building
and theatre, $4,000 being placed on
the former. The flames were discov-
cred by the janitor in tho portrait
framing room of w. H. Gooding in the
rear of the fourth floor. The elevator
boy, at the risk Of his life, car
ried his car several times from
the ground floor to the top of the
building and rescued the women from
the flames, which were eating their
way up to the roof. He heatily res
pended to the call of Mrs. Shea, wife
Of dentist on the third floor, and
after carrying her in safety to the bot
tom of the building assembled to bring
other women who were employed on
the fourth and fifth floors, principally
in the studio of William Morrison,
theatrical photographer, on the top
floor. The last call made upon him
was to bring Morrison down but when
he had run his car to the fourth floor
he found the flames breaking into the
elevator shaft and the danger Of burn
ing the rope forced him to descend
alone. He had got out of his car only
two minutes when the rope was parted
by the flames. Mr.. Morrison escaped
by way Of the roof.

a Disastrous Collision in tho Heart of a
Pennsylvania Town Following Rush

WHITE HAVEN, PENN, Dec. g.
This morning two freight trains col
lidcd on the Lehigh Valley railroad in
the heart of the town. A fire f"l-
lowed, burning the cars, and it is
thought that at least three men were
burned to death. The flames commu-
nicated to Runhke hotel, and one of
the worst fires which has ever visited
here in many years started. The train
came down the mountain at q good
speed. When the end was reached
just above the town it seems that the
engineer put on q full head of steam
and the green trainmen failed to re.
lease the brakes, with the result that
the train parted in three places. The
engineer sped away with the portion
of the train, leaving the other cars be-
hind. The freight train dashed into
the stationary train and the flames
burst from the wreck. The flames
spread to Runhke hotel near by, and
from there the fire spread to livery
stable. For n time it looked as though
the town was doomed, but change
in the wind gave the tiremen the ad-
vantage, and the fire was gotten under
control

Personal Assignments to Secure Special
Liabilities but Firm Assets Very Iniirm.
RICHMOND, Dec. 2.-Thc personal
deed of assignment made yesterday by
N. @. Brauer, of the firm Of w. w.
Brauer & Co., the largest cotton ex-
porters south of Baltimore, was fol-
lowed by similar one to-day by w.
w. Brauer, who manages the foreign
part of the business and is resident
of London. The property conveyed in
the trusts aggregates $65,000 and is to
secure the personal obligations of
these gentlemen. The firm will not
make an assignment as it really has no
assets. The liabilities are not given,
though known to be quite large, and
the creditors are New York, Baltimore
and London parties. The failure OF
the firm is attributed to low prices and
small markets and the injury of stock
carried abroad through the rough sea.
