AFTER THE BLIND TIGERS.
Governor TiIIman Has His Hands
Full Just Now.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 15.-The
mailed hand of Governor Tilman made
a move yesterday against the blind
tigers in Charleston. These have been
running now Just two weeks since the
dispensary law went into effect, and
while it is true that every house in
Charleston has sufficient supply Of
stimulants stored away to last six
months, the blind tigers which sprung
into existence on July l have been do
ing a thriving business. For about ten
days the city has been thronged with
the governors spies. Two days ago
the assistant attorney general OF the
state arrived and has been in cOnsulta-
ton with the spies and the prosecuting
officer of the county. Yesterday he ap-
piled to a magistrate for search war
rants, but that official refused to issue
them owing TO a lack of some legal
technicality The course OF the pro-
ceedings, if pursued as now sketched
out will, it may be safely said, precipi-
tate a storm and cutlery far surprising
any which has yet attended the inaugur-
alton of the law.

stated that he was willing to meet me
on my arrival in America. The only
club articles that 1 have seen were
those at New Orleans, where Charles
Noel, president of the Crescent City
athletic club, asked me to put my name

Crescent City club would give as large
purse as any organization, and L
signed them provisionally-that is to
say, If Corbett would not agree to them
they would not be binding upon me-

Wednesday morning in the criminal
court Judge Cox declined to allow the
state to file the counter affidavit of
William Stanley in the Parker and Nc
Afee murder case and then overruled
the defendants motion for a new trial
The court then directed that the con-
victed murderers of Charles Eyster be
brought into court to receive sentence.
When the dusky thugs appeared and
stood at the bar of the court their faces
were ashen hued and they were visibly
affected. The judge ordered them to
stand up.
Have you or either of you," said the
court, "any cause to show why judg-
ment should not be rendered upon the
verdict of the jury heretofore returned
finding you guilty of the crime of muir
der in the first degree and fixing the
punishment at death?"
Parker, I'm low, trembling tones, re-
piled: IF we had been taken before
were first arrested, we would have been
set free"
The court resumed as follows:
No legal cause being shown why sem
tence should not be pronounced. the
judgment of the court. in pursuance of
the verdict of the jury, is that Friday,
the Sd day of November, 1898, before the
hour Of sunrise on such day and within
the walls of the states prison north,
and within a proper enclosure to be
erected or arranged for that purpose,
you, John Parker, and you, Edward Nc
Afee, for the crime by you SO committed
shall be hanged by the neck until you
are dead, all in the manner and form in
all respects as prescribed by law"
Thus was the bppinpipp Of tho and IF
one of the most memorable cases ever
tried in the criminal courts of the state,
effected. The court will allow the usual
time for filing a bill of exceptions and
the supreme court will be given an OPP
portunity TO pass upon the case. In the
meantime Parker and McAfee within
the next week will be taken to the
prison north.
Old Joshua Mundon, the venerable
negro thief. who has gone to the prison
north for a term of years, and who fig
ured as a valuable witness for the state
in the case. seems to have had a his
tory as a states witness which runs
back several years. Healing & Hugg
the attorneys for the defendants, yester-
day received from a public official in
Ohio a letter in which the information
was given that Mundon, who had served
a thirteen years term at Michigan City
and one year In the Michigan states
unteered testimony in a case tried
in one of the courts in which
he assisted materially in the conviction
of fellow Jail prisoners, and had after
ward been shown to have committed
rank perjury.
John Jones. the white brute who at
tempted a criminal assault upon the lit
tie five-year-old daughter of James and
Mary c. Stumon on the 25th day of last
month, was tried in the criminal court
yesterday and found guilty. He was
fined $500 and sentenced to the prison
north for term of five years.
James NJ. Parker and Patrick Barrett
in the criminal court withdrew theil
former pleas of not guilty yesterday
morning and pleaded guilty to grand lar
ceny. Thompson was fined $50 and costs
and sentenced to the prison north fol-
two years, while Barrett was fined 81;
and costs and sentenced to the peni
Tertiary for a twelve-months' term.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE worlds fair
is to be closed on Sunday and after July
16 it will not be open to the public on
the first day of the week. The admis-
sions of next Sunday have already been
donated for the relief of the families of
the fremen who lost their lives in the
recent fire on the grounds, and but for
this fact the fair would probably have
been closed next Sunday. The vote of
the local directory resembling it's former
action was overwhelming in favor Of
closing, it standing "A to 2.
When the meeting of the board of
directors was called later this after
noon an address advocating Sunday
closing, signed by all the leading Chi
cago clergymen, was read. The close of
the address was the signal for a series
of speeches, all of them in favor of
closing the fair. vive-President Peck.
who presided in the absence of Presi-

resolution, which was at once adopted,
and the directors adjourned, apparently
we'll pleased with themselves and their
work:
Whereas, The board of directors at a
regular meeting held May 16 1898, adopt
ed certain resolutions providing for the
opening of the exposition on Sunday in
response to urgent appeals from persons
and organizations representing a large
majority of the public. as well as from
stockholders of the corporation, and also
in accordance with a resolution adopted
by the city council of the city of Chi
cage, representing the financial interest
of said city in said exposition to the
amount of $5.OO0.OO0;
Whereas. This action of The board
has been sustained by the L. S. circuit
court of appeals and the right and
power of the board of directors to con-
troll the physical administration of the
exposition on Sundays as well as on
other days of the week has been upheld
by the final decree of said court. and.

admissions that the general public does
not, by its attendance, manifest a desire
that said exposition should be kept open
each day of the week, and it further APP

open Ol 0ullNdg IL VIII require the at

the exposition authorities can give their
own employees one day of rest out of

number of labornging men and women

Sunday is disproportOinate to the num-

promoted by keeping the exposition
open on each and every day of the

Charles ID. Warner and "Barnumism.,'

CHICAGO, July 13.-The feature of the
literary congress today was a passage
read by Charles Dudley Warner on the
function of literary criticism in the
United States. MIR. Warner said the
Americans have their own peculiar
standards. They fix the value of a dol
lar at Go cents and resent the CONNER
cial assertion that the dollar is 100
cents. In literature. the standards are
also somewhat mixed. We have no Phil
istines, said the speaker, because we
have no traditions, but we have sensa-
tionalism in sermons, novels intended
to shock, and everywhere a striving
for effort to catch the popular ear. This
peculiar feature of American literature
Mr. Warner called "Barnumism."
The eighth annual conference Of relig-
ious workers among the deaf mutes be-
gan today at All Angels church. The
sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr..
Thomas Gallaudet of New York

CARL sCHURz's NIECE.
She Is Insane and Practically Adam
dOned by Relatives.

CHICAGO July 13.-A sensation was
caused today in the case of Catherine
Schurz, who, it was testified under oath,
is niece of Carl Schurz, formerly secre-
tary of the interior. The young woman
according to the evidence was shipped
from Finneburg, Germany, by relatives
and arrived ir New York four weeks
ago, where she wandered for fourteen
days without food. At last her brother
Fritz, of that city, sent her on to Chi
cago, and she was found in a pitiful
condition by the police. Yesterday her
brother, Henry SchurZ, of ClybOurn-
ave. was appraised of the fact, and
brought her to the detention hospital.
AS she was not resident of the city,
Judge Brown refused to send her to an
asylum. Her brother, Henry, refused TO
care for her, but the judge gave the
brother the choice of doing better or be-
ing indicted for abandonment. The
woman has been insane for years, it is
said. The brother finally took the
woman away.

However, being anxious and DESTROYS Of
