a &OmAnIa BODY

NIAGARA FALLS, March GA big
cake OF Ice floating down the river to-
ward the Horseshoe falls. whirling In
the rushing current and on 1t lay the
body OF a woman, her head hanging
half over the edge of the cake. AS It
was swept past LorettO convent the
nuns were notified by sister who dis.
covered the dead woman, and as the
Ice foated ny with It's dead burden the
nuns prayed for the dead and dying.
For an instant Only the Ice paused at
the brink Of the falls and then 1t was
swept over into the seething mass Of
water below. The body must have been
frozen to the ice, for several hours later
1t was seen In the rapids near the Am
erican shorey by a number of people.
The only way 1t would have gotten
down there was by passing under the
Dig Ice bridge which has formed. No
attempt was made to reach the body.
for 1t could not have been secured
under any circumstances. 1t will not
be rescued before the Ice fnelts. 1t is
supposed the woman's body came from
up the lake somewhere. 1t was clad
IN q dress Of dark stuff.

Hitg Them Hard.

For sometime past the Lancaster
Review and some of It's subacribers
have been having q controversy about
certain utterances Of the Review. Last
week communications were published
IN the Rev1eW from Messrs. J I. +. Mis-
bett and James Culllns pitching into
the paper. The editor replies in q two
column article and among other things
says: brothers Nisbet and Culiins
seem to te nursing grievance of some
kind, but why do they come to the Re-
view with their jeremaide? If thew
don't like the Review why do they read
ltp Suppose that the Reyiew Is not
run as they think it should be run,
what right have they to complain of
Its management? One Of these broth
ers Is not even subscriber to the Re-
view and the other, though he has been
taking the paper for two or three years
has never paid us u red cent for it.
And yet they have the cheek to tell us.
through our own columns, thst the pa.
per Is not being run to suit them-that
IL hasn't done this and it hasn't done
that, which In their stupendous judg-
ment 1t ought to have done. we are
always glad to receive suggestions
made IN good faith by paying subscri
bers, In regard to the management and
editorial conduct Of the Review, but It
makes that tired feeling como over us
to have persons who do not contribute
anything whatever to the papers sup.
port rear up on their hind legs, jerboa-
like, and patronizingly tell us how to
attend to our own business. /"

Victory for tho State

CHARLESTON, March 13.-The State
gained decisive victory over the rail.
roads In the United States Circuit
Court today, whom Judge Simonton
filed decree in the much litigated rail-
road tax cases. Last year the assess.
ment on all the railroad property was
arbitrarily raised by the board of
equalization. The railroads refused to
pay the taxes on the increased assess.
ment and carried the case into the
United States courts. They, however,
rendered the amount of taxes on the
old assessment. The case decided to-
day was brought by d. II. Chamber
lain, receiver Of the South Carolina
hallway, to test the constitutlonality
OF the assessment made hy the board of
equalization. The court, in a lengthy
opinion, decided that the assessment
was not unconstitutional and orders
the receiver. to pay The State the bal

They met one of party searching for
the murderers, who asked hadthey seen
three men passing that way. The re-
ply was that three men had been seen
In boat, and the description Of them
| tailed exactly with that of Andrews
| Weeks and McCloud. AS soon as DOS.
slble word was sent to Eastover, and
the searching parties mapped out a

Mr. Crousee and three or four others
Immediately went to Sumter, where

the Santee bridge, for the purpose of
overtak1ng them. Another party COM
posed Of twelve or fifteen men went on
horseback on either side of the river,
and were to ride down and make a
thorough search all along the banks
and surrounding country.
That these three suspected men
should thus be seen together seems to
be almost positive proof that they are
the parties wanted. The chances for
their capture appeared good, as 1t is
hardly possible that they can escape
the posse on both sides of the river
and that at the bridge. Unless some.
thing unforeseen happens, John Gay
den's murderers will be captured today
or this week, at the outside. When
they are, 1t Is question whether they
will be brought back to Wedgefleld. It
Is believed that whatever caught they
will be hung or shot on the spot. The
character Of the crowd precludes any
such action. They will weigh the tes-
stimony and act accordingly.

SUICIDE IN ATLANTA.
somuel Cheek's Checkersd Career Sud-
donly brought TO Tragic Close.

! ATLANTA, March 9.-Samuel Cheek
a acontractor, well known In the city anG
surrounding country died at the Grad,
hospital from the effects of two bullet
wounds in the left breast; and those
wounds we're inflicted by his own hand.
For a number OF years Cheek has
maintained relations Of the most ami
cable nature with his wife and children
not q jar of discOrd ever marring the
| domestic felicity Of wife and husband
each appearing to have perfect conf
dence in the other, while the sequel
shows that, during all these years, In
another part of the city, there has lived
another woman known as Mrs. Sam
Cheek. And this woman has borne him
two children.
How much longer this dual existence
or Sam Cheek would have gone on can
only be coniectured, but for the fact
that Cheek became involved in litiga-
tion which resulted In a warrant being
issued for his arrest; his having to hide
out from the officers, and finally In a TT
of desperation, admitting all to his wife
and taking his own life.
The woman with whom Cheek had
been living was, when q girl of 10
some 10 years ago-taken to the home
OF Cheek and cared for long time, she
uaVluB no nome, ana later permanent
home was secured for the girl with
Mrs. Checks sister livinga few miles
away from the Cheek homestead, which
was then in village about 90 miles
from Atlanta.
After a stay of nearly year, the girl
who had given her name as Bertha
Cross, but whose real name was Bianch
Clayton left her new home and after
visiting the Cheek family, where she
spent a few days, left them, declaring
her intention of returning to her home
somewhere In South Carolina.
And here begins the dual life Of Sam
Cheek. lie had become infatuated
with the girl; brought her to Atlanta
and set up second nome. And, not
withstandiug his family afterward
moved to this city, for years Sam Cheek
has managed to keep up his relations
with this woman without eyer exciting
breath of suspicion, either In the
| breast of his wife, or among those with
| whom he came In business contact.
Remorse and reverses, however final
ly so wrought him up, that he confessed
all and wandered away In the night, a
hunted criminal, and was afterWard
found by his son in an old house In the
outskirts of the city dying from the
self inflicted wounds.
The boy had his father removed to
the hospital where he died without re-
gaining consciousness.

! WASHINGTON, March Al have
just seen card published In the News
and courier, from the Hon. D. A. J.
Sullivan, sannouncinR his withdrawal
from the race In the First Congression
al District: The publication of this
caro-, as well as reports that lhave been
Circulated In South Carolina, to the ef-
rect that promised him to keep DR..
Stokes out OF the race, and the further
fact, that some time ago while | was
at home In Laurnes report was pub
llshOd IN the News and Courier that
had telegraphed for Mr.. Sullivan to
come to Laurens to get him to run for
Congress In the First District, compels
me 10 say that have had no talk or
communication with Mr.. Sullivan upon
this subject since he left Washington
some time ago. Mr.. Stokes was NOM
mated for Congress at Summervllle.
While Mr.. Sullivan was here
and upon learning 1t, the lat
Ter announced to me and others that
he would not be candidate. He left
me fully impressed with that idea, and
no man was more surprised than was,
when he announced his intention to
run, which he followed up by frequent
visits to, and conferences In, Columbia,
with which the public must be familiar.
In reference to the Laurens incident,
| will say that there Is not word of
truth In that report He came to my
house after having telegraphed from
charleston. my permission to SEQ me
at my home In Laurens, to which
consented. In conclusion l wish to
say, and l hope that every honest
newspaper that has published these re.
ports will do me the jussice to publish
this letter, that l never promised Mr..
Sullivan or any one else Co. keep MIR.
Stokes from running :at any time, or
asked, encouraged or advised Mr.. Sui
livan to run for Congress In that Con-
gressional District.
