A QUESTION which must press with much weight on conservative democrats as elec- tion day approaches. Is as to the safety of changing the officials who shall have charge of the costly water enterprise in progress at the Branch. No reason can be given for Q change. except their natural desire that the city government should be in the hands of democrats. Waterbury American.
 One reason for n change can be given that overtops all others and it must have much weight with conservative" re pnhlrans. The Branch" has been worked for all it is worth to make votes for tho republican machine. If the pace set by those in charge be not increased the work will cost n million dollars before it k completed. and the city tax rate will t,ke another six-mills jump.

NOT TOO CRAZY FOR CRIME.
Negro Cranks Convicted of Outraging
q NJ ulatto Girl.

Charleston, S. c., Nov. 17.-One of the
most remarkable cases on record was
tried in the criminal court here to-day.
Charles Singleton, David Fields, Amelia
Wright and Laura Perkins, all negroes,
We're on trial and were convicted of the
crime of rape. the first named being con-
victed as principal and the others as ac-
cessories. The prisoners belonged to a
religious order called the Council of
Six" They enticed Nora McDuffy, a mu-
latto girl to their rendezvous and there
she was outraged by Singleton, the others
being witness and aiding and abetting in
the crime. All the prisoners re fused the
offer of the court to assign
counsel for their defense. They said God
would defend them. The state put up
Nora McDuffy, the victim of the "coun-
Gil, as its principal witness. She told
her story, which was borne out by other
witnesses.
The defendants each testified, and their
evidence was of a very peculiar sort
Singleton the actual assailant of the
girl, said that he was commanded to do
what he did and referred to the sixth
chapter of Second Corinthians as his au-
thority. He also eXpatiated on the good
and evil spirits which existed in man.
THE DEVILS FINGER IN EVERYTHING.
In answer 70 question by Solicitor
General Jervey, Singleton said eve can't
do anything for Christ but what the devil
has share in it" He admitted the
charge against him, but said it was the
spirit and over it he had no control.
He said if the spirit commanded him to
take up gun and kill a man he would
have to do it.
Fields testimony was largely on the
same style and that of the two women.
who were dressed in plain black with
poke bonnets, was theatrical and at times
amusing, When the large assemblage
| of spectators laughed, however, one
of the women said. stand still. this is mo
laughing matter. The truth is going ia
shine to-day" The prisoners were con
victed, but were recommended to mercy.
| They were remanded for sentence The
council of six is a new religious order
established among the negroes here, and
the prisoners say it has quite a member
