Gov. T1llman Takes Revenge Tor HIS
Defeat In the Chicco Case.
COlum bia, S. c., May 31.-Gow Tillman
to-day rem owed Trial Justice Milan, of
Charleston, for his action in dismissing
the perjury prosecution of Vincent Chicco,
an Italian ex-saloonkeeper, which, at the
instance of the governor. was instituted
by County Treasurer Walter. Chicco,
when the dispensary law had been in OPP
GRAFTON for six months, obtained, after
swearing as the statute required, that
he had sold no whisky illicitly, a return
of part of the saloon license fee which
he had paid for the year 1898 His sa-
loon had been closed in June when
the dispensary law took effect. Since
the dispensary law was set aside
by the supreme court ChiccO is said to
have openly boasted that he had sold
liquor all the time the dispensary was in
operation. When the case came up before
Justice Milan, he sustained Chicco S at
torney in the point that liquor" did not
necessarily mean intoxicants, and he dis
missed the case for want of evidence.
The governor has appointed ex-Chief
Spy Theodore S Gaillard as his successor.

BY the sinking of the Los Angeles
Heavy Money Loss.

Heavy Money Loss.
MONTEREY, CAL, April 23.-From
the latest information 10 be had here, 1t
is 10 be believed at least six lives were
lost from the ship Los Angeles, which
struck on the rocks of Point Sur, late
SATURDAY. night. Three bodies have
been cast upon the beach near the
lighthouse. These are the bodies OF
Timothy Nolan, fireman OF the steamer;
- Fitzgerald, a passenger, and a
hostler named Saunders, from Los An
geles. The youth who died In
one OF the life boats from
exposure iu the water, and while
cliDging 20 the rigging was the son OF
Mrs. Augusta Curtin, Of Los Angeles. IL
is also known that ). y. Sheridan, an
aged passenger from Ventura, and a
Chinese steeTage passenger from Los
Angeles were drowned. The manner Of
Fireman NOIan's death was an added
terror 10 the other occupants Of the life
boat. Tue men az the oars worked the
heavy craft almost into the breakers
which pounded upon the steep rocky
cliffs 40 the summit OF which is Point
Sur lighthouse, but so dangerous was
their position Ia the heavy swell that
they dared not attempt a landing below
the cliffs When they put about and
headed out 10 sea again Holan plunged
into the sea, determined 70 swim 70 the
rocky shore. IL was little less than
suicide, for be drowned in full sight OF
all in the boat. II is believed the later
reports will reveal a still greater loss OF
life.
The steamer Los Angeles has now
sunk below the surface Of the water
Nothing can be saved. There was no
insurance upon the vessel or her cargo,
which is estimated TO be worth $4,000

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23.-LieuL

graphic Office, has returned to Wash
ington from a trip 20 Europe on the
Weimar, made by authority OF Secretary
Herbert to enable him 10 test the new
aid 70 navigation, the s0larimetre. This
instrument is intended TO replace the
sextant and alidade aboard ship in
showing the exact position Of the YES
sci. 1t mas many points OF advantage
in the sextant 10 accuracy and freedom
from long arithmetical calculations.
One feature of the greatest value Is the
capacity Of the instrument to record OBJ
ssrvations in foggy weather when the
sun or stars shine dimiy and the hort
zon cannot be seen, and the sextant is
useless to locate the ship. The ileuten-
ant reports that the Instrument worked
admirably on the Wsimar under ali
kinds OF weather, aud the North Ger
man Lloyd Company is making arrange
ments TO equip all their vessels with it.
It is probable that the instrument will
also be used 10 our navy.
