Out Of q Mexican Prison.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-George w.
Wellington, Of Boston, passed through
this city yesterday to rejoin his wife in
Boston, having just escaped from Mexi-
car prison, where he has been confined
for ten years on life sentence for killing
his wife's assailant.
A little more than ten years ago Mr..
Wellington married handsome young
lady in Boston, and soon afterwards got
the position of station agent at Chihuahua,
Mex.
His wife followed him and on the way
attracted the attention of Ramoa Coma
les, q Mexican army officer. She refused
to listen to him, but he continued
his opportunities after her arrival al
chihuahua and laughed at Wellington's
threats.
One evening Wellington went home
and found his wife struggling with Con.
zales, who was attempting to assault her
and promptly shot the Mexican dead;
He was sentenced to penal servitude fOl
life. For ten years he worked as con.
vict quarry laborer.
Thirteen days ago a friend named
Henry French bribed q guard and Well.
ington got away. He reached San Diego
two days ago and at once came up the
coast on h;s way home.

Another Revenue Raid.

Deputy Collector Ensor has returned
from another of his drag net raids on the
moonshine country. The most impor-
tant capture he made this time was q
large distllery at Tate's mill, in Pickens
county, eight miles from Greenville and
about four miles from Easley. The place
was raidcd Tuesday morning. The still
was found in operation in the basement
OF the mill while there was barrel of
whiskey up stairs. Both were destroyed.
The Tates were up during the last term
of the United States Court, but negro
man assumed the entire responsibility
for the illicit distilling and hauling ope-
rations then investigated.
On the Chattooga River, in Oconee
county, two distilleries were destroyed
and four men were captured. Another
still was destroyed near Liberty, in Pick
ems. The doctor raked the Dark corner
of Greenville but found none Of the boys
at home, although he struck some very
warm signs. The only capture made in
this county was in the Beaverdam sec
ton, where he found and destroyed a
good copper still which had been in sue
cessful operation.-Greenuille News.

G'hese will be obliged to stand the ad-
vance, thus throwing the increase in price
directly upon the poorer classes, i'll many
cases upon those least able to pay.
The proportion Of alcohol in nearly all
the LIQUID preparation used or sold by
druggists ranges from iorty-tive parts to
al alcohol. This class of preparations
includes tinctures, wines, liquors, eliXirs
end essences and extracts, and are in
every day use by druggist and customer.
Ali alcohol bought and used by the
manufacturing druggists Of this State is
Of the best quality, necessarily above 95
per cent. pure. The manufacturers guar
antee all Of it to be "95 per cent. pure or
ever" The manufacturers in Carolina
invariably test the alcohol to see that it
comes up to the guarantee. This is the
standard grade of alcohol, absolute alco-
ho being only used for scientific pur-
poses. Alcohol in itself as sold by the
wholesale is at present an Improbable
business. One reason of this is because
cf the fuctuation in price, and is largely
sold as the "leader" or "bait'' by many
houses and other firms having to meet
amounts to considerable.
The annual business of the recognized
manufacturing and jobbing drug houses
amounts to at least half million dollars.
and considerable portion of their busi-
LESS is necessarily affected by the increase
in the price OF alcohol. Itmust be re-
1aembered that the drug business is sub
jsct to very lively competition In this
State, and representatives OF firms from
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Charlotte,
Richmond, Baltimore, Philadelphia, De-
troit and New York are within its bor-
Gers soliciting orders every day, and
would make the most of any increase in
the class of goods affected by the price Of
alcohol
If "a suit is not brought by the Charles
ton Association against the dispensary
law it il pretty safe to say that the rail
roads will come in for the first round. l
am informed that the Richmond and
nanville Road has decided that 1t will
accept all freights that are offered 1t,
whether in barrels or cases. They claim
that they have no right to refuse packa-
ges consigned to parties in the State and
delivered from other roads.
A rreat many householders throughout
the State are laying in a good supply of
whiskey. In Charleston and other larger
places a "dead-set'' is said to be doter-
mined upon against patronizing the dis
pensaries, even if established. Everyone
who knows that he has use for liquor is
getting some reserve stock, for they
Imagine that there is no telling what the
State bar room will charge when it gets
in control.
An interesting point in connection
with the dispensary law is: Who is to
classify the freeholders in any commune
ty, and who is to say whether majority
of them have signed for dispensarry? :?
There arc some orthodox Prohibitionists
who are somewhat fearful Of the count
ing, and would like to see that those who
are on the list are in fact froeholders and
entitled by residence to petition for a
dispensary.

A Murderer's Confession.

DENIsoN, TEXAS, May 5.-Sensational
developments occurred yesterday in the
Carlisle Luttrell murder case at Sher-
man. Late in the evening news became
current that Governor Hogg had written
to Judge Brown for particulars in Chas.
Luttrell's case, as pardon had been ap-
piled for.
1t is known that Luttrell had CONVEX
sation with ex-Sheriff Mason, of Hunt
County, Wednesday, and as result o
pardon has been applied for. Luttrell
gavo information concerning the butch
cry of women here last spring that will
probably secure him q reprieve, or possi-
bly Communication of sentence to life i'm
prisonment.
Through high official it was learned
that Charles Luttrell stated that since 1868
James Brown, John Carlisle and friends
had killed 48 men In order to destroy
testimony against them in q murder
case. James Brown, in 1878, became in
yolved in quarrel with stable hand and
killed him. john Carlisle was induced to
kill another man named Sparks. Tom
Sharman, their last victim, WAS an eye
witness,
Brown and Carlisle being wealthy,
started in to kill every evidence against
them, and Luttrells confession is but q
glimmer of the awful reality of this
Unparalleled series of crimes, that cost
248 men their lives.
Luttrell would not give the names Of
the victims, and said be did not know all
but they would be forth coming in every
instance of the killing by this gang. Ev-
ery eyewitness was shadowed and kill
ed sooner or later, and all who could
give circumstantal evidence were killed
by hired murderers.
Luttrell is fast weaving death web
around Carlisle and others heretofore
unsuspected, while he Is bettering his
chances for clemency, if not for liberty

Thousands Disappointed.

CHICAGO, May 7.-The rules to close
the gates for the Worlds Fair on Sunday
was rigidly enforced to-day-at least so
far as the ticket purchasing public was
concerned, The fortunate hundreds who
held passes were admitted, however, and
allowed to wander about the grounds at
their will. The day was beautiful ana
thousands of workingmen, some of them
with their families, went TO the fair
grounds, under the impression that the
gates were to be opened, and when these
toilers were turned away, they left in
anything but good humor. 1t was high
~ aggravating to them to see the favored
hundreds, even thousands, enter the
grounds on passes, while they who work.
ed all the week were excluded.
The validity of the law of Congress
closing the gates is to be tested in the
courts this week. Chas. w. Clingman,
who is q stockholder in the fair, has ser
we'd notice on Secretary Edmonds
that he will appeal to the courts to open
the fair on Sunday. In his letter, he, in
the interest of the working people, and
as representative of other stockholders,
demanded that the people be admitted
on Sunday the same as other days in the
waek

1t now looks as if the employment OF
prisoners in roadmaking was to be quite
comprehensively tried in the State fNew
York, the Governor, it is u Understood, fa-
voring the trial. We have always advo-
Gated this disposition of prison labor as
far as practicable. There are many
things in its favor. It will aid in secur-
ing good roads, which are certainly very
much needed in this country. Such en-
ployment of prison labor will not inter-
fere with free labor, because it will, in
tho main, be employed on work that
would not otherwise be done. Another
consideration, and probably not the least
is che employment will be healthy one,
and that is great aid in the reformation
of criminals. We hope, by all means,
that the State will give it a fair trial.

Shot by his Brother.

ATHENS. GA, May News comes
from Danielsville of Bloody fight be-
tween two brothers.
Mark Ford lives with Mr.. Guest. A
few nights since his brother Dave came
to the front gate, called him out and ac-
cused him of stealing his still. This
Mark denied and paye went away en-.
Friday night Dave returned with
eleven of his friends, awoke Mark,
called him out and carried him several
hundred yards from the house. Mark at
last, becoming suspicious, refused to 60
farther. The quarrel about the still was
renewed when Dave drew pistol and
shot Mark through the thigh and then
dealt him severe blow over the head
with fence rail. His injuries are seri-
Gus and will most likely prove fatal.
Dave has been arrested and is in Mad
ison Jail awaiting trial.

Another Lynclling.

K1NasTREE, S. c., May 6.-Last night
a negro, Sam Gaillard, was lynched about
mile from this place. The facts in the
case as nearly as I have been able to
gather them are as follows:
On last Thursday morning rape was
committed upon Mrs. Nesmith, young
married lady, living a few miles from
this place. She was at home at the time.
Her husband was absent at his work and
onlv her babe was with her. A negro
came by the house, which is on the road
side, and asked for drink Of water. He
obtained this and then seemed to 60
away, but while Mrs. NeAmith was in the
ward, gathering little fuel, he sprang
upon her, checked her to- suffocation and
threatened her life if she attempted to
give the alarm. A dog in the yard came
to the rescue and the fiend in human
shape finally fed. AS soon as his victim
sufficiently recovered she ran to her
fathers, some distance of, and told what
had been done.
The news spread like prairie fire.
Runners were soon on the road and the
escape of the guilty one was made as
nearly impossible as human effort could
make it. Suspicion pointed strongly to
Sam Gaillard, and ex-convict, who had
DG6Q lOalQS aDOut tue uciSuUoiuoOu'
He was soon captured and taken before
Mrs. Nesmith, who identified him as her
assailant. He was then taken before q
trial justice, given a hearing and COM
mitted to Jail at this place for trial. But
he never reached the Jail. A company of
some two hundred men who had heard
thu news Of his capture, as we'll as his
crime, met his convoy about mile from
this town, took him and hanged him
without much ceremony to a convenient
true.
The place is where four roads meet and
there the body hung this morning when
ths coroner had it taken down. The cul-
prat acknowledged his crime openly to
white and black and seemed rather to
glory in it than otherwise. In his case,
at least, the right man has met the right
punishment. This should be q warning
to all that swift and condign punishment
of = like sort will be neted out to all and
any who would lay lawless and lustful
hands upon the chastity of women in

New YORK, May 5.-Mrs. Fannie korn

noon to-day gave poison to her two chill
dren, Edwin, l2 years old, and Florence,
six years old, and then shot them, and
afterwards shot herself,
Mrs. Korn is 80 years old, and tho wife
of Ernest Korn, dealer in tea and coffee.
The two children were by her first hus-
band, Mr.. Westing, who died three years
ago. For some time Mrs. Korn has been
suffering from nervous troubles which
the physician said was incurable. She
has been very respondent and has often
said:
"I had better kill myself, but when I
die I shall take my children with me-.
While her children wore at lunch to-
day she gave them mixture made from
the heads of matches and flour paste.
She went into an adjoining room, and
getting revolver, fired at Edwin. The
ball struck him in the lett leg, and be
ran screaming from the house. She then
shot Florence in the side, just below the
heart, and taking the wounded girl IN
her arms, sat down OIL chair and shot
herself twice in the left side.
A policeman heard the wounded boys
cries, and sent out hurried call for an
ambulance. Ms. Korn and the two
children were removed to the Roosevelt
Hospital. Florence died at $40 this
evening. The mo her and son will prob
ably recover,

4 Leader,
and IT CAME TO PASS

That after many cold wintry days,
such as had not been seen for some
Winters past, beautiful Spring came
forth in all its loveliness. To-day we
behold clear sky. The sir is full Of
music Of the birds, and the butterfly
is wont to be on the wing. We scent
from a'far off the fragrance Of the
flowers and new-made leaves. The
busy bee no longer fingers in the hive
nor near its entrance, but hies himself
to the home of the honey-due and the
nectar of the flowers. The sweet
grasses and the hated weeds are
springing forth close neighbors in eve
ry quarter. All mankind is up and
astir. 1t is dear race to see what
man shall outstrip his brother. For
is it not recorded that the son shall
outstrip the father-that the least
shall be greatest, and the greatest
shall be least; that the first shall be
last, and the last shall be first.
Who can say that the bottom rail
never gets on top, or that every
dog does not have his day? 1t is
we'll known that we started in the race
far behind mauy of our brethren. 1t
is also known that we have also pass
ed many of them while they slept or
strove not. Have we not made our
name resoupd through this land as a
synonym of truth and honesty. Solid
values for your money. One price to
all comers? Is it our fault if our
competitors are left scringing and
complaining? IF we set the example
and they heed not, it is but just that
they should be left. But to the point.
What we wish to call your atten-
ton to is:
