The Couple Found at Augusta and
Taken Into Cusfodr.

INTO AUsA0uls
Augusta. Ca. March 12.-On Saturday
there came TO the police headquarters a
man, apparently a farmer in comforta-
bic circumstances. about 20 years old. who
gave his name as Doc W. Chasereau, a
planter in Hampton county. South Caro-
lima. He told a distressing tale OF his
wife's unfaithfulness and her elopement
with Benny a Cease, a 1s-year-old boy
The woman, who was the idol of his
heart, was the mother OF four children,
ranging in years from 1 TO S. The pair.
before their departure. had stolen from
him SEQ and a horse. but his chief aim
was 10 regain his wife, whom he almost
worshipped. They We're supposed to have
come to Augusta, and he desired the po-
lice to assist in finding them Detec-
tives Howard and Kelly and officer Pris-
colt, a personal friend Of the husband,
were put TO work on the case. but the
runaway couple remained so closely hid
that until to-day nothing was seen Of
them. This morning officer Prescott went
to house on purely personal business,
saw Cease there and instantly recognized
and arrested him. The officer managed
y
and wife in Mrs. Parks boarding house,
where the woman was found and taken
into custody, along with her paramour.
Immediately after their arrest Mr.. Chas-
ereau was wired and will probably be here
tomorrow. The Indifference of the two
was remarkable and the woman, who says
she has some little love for her chill
dren, despises her husband. but will go
back TO him. She says he
ii-treated her and that elopement was
her only resort Cease does not appre-
ciate the predicament he is in and does
not seem TO care. Both Cease and Mrs.
Chasereau absolutely deny having stol-
en- the money. and the woman says the
horse they took was her own.
Brig. Gen. W. ID. Flagler, chief of the
ordinance department in Washington, ar
rived here this afternoon direct from the

coLuMBIA's BURNED COLLEGE.

Secretary Denied.

The Utterances of Mission Society
Secretary Denied.
Columbia, S. c., March 12.-Some months
ago the main building of the Benedict
College, a colored educational institution
maintained by northern money here, was
burned, the opinion of the president be-
ing that it was fired by an expelled stu
dent. The best class of white citizens
Of the town did everything in their power
to save the effects of the white teachers,
who reside in the building, many remain
ing inside till the roof fell in. Despite
all that, there seems from resolutions
adopted by the city council tonight to
have been an effort to make this fire the
excuse for something which is a complete
surprise to the people here. The resolu-
lions, which are endorsed by the president
of the burned college, read as follows:
Whereas, The secretary of the Home
Mission Society in his last report charges
that the people of Columbia, instigated
by prejudice against the education of the
negro, burnt one of their school buildings,
and also charges that northern teachers
when they come south have to take their
lives in their hands, therefore be Ii
Resolved, BY the mayor and aldermen
of the city of Columbia in Council as
sembled that the charges above set forth
are absolutely without foundation, in fact.
The cOlored schools in this section have
always been protected by the laws of
the state of South Carolina, in the city of
Columbia and the citizens individually.
and their teachers respected in any in
stance. Upon the occasion Of the fire at
the Benedict College the fire department
of the city rendered all possible assistance
and would have succeeded in saving said
building had the house not been located
outside Of the corpora ton limits of Co.
lumbia, and at so great distance from
the fire plugs of the city that the fire
engines could not effectively reach the
flames.

THE wALTHOUR HOME BURNED.
Only u Small Portion of Its Contents
Saved From the Flames.

Only 4 Small Portion of Its Contents
Saved From the Flames.
Walthourville. Ga. March l2-The old
Walthour homestead house burned to-day
about 1870 o'clock. The ladies' were alone
in the house when the discovery was made
that the ceiling and roof of the back up
stairs rooms were on fire. Nothing could
be done TO save the building, as the whole
upper story was filled with smoke, and
soon with flames.
An alarm was sounded from the Presby-
terrain church bell, which brought together
a large crowd. The crowd assisted in saw
ing the furniture from the two front
rooms on the lower story which were
the only ones that could be entered.
The burning of the stairs prevented any
one from gaining access to the front rooms
in the upper story.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from some defect in the kitchen flue, and
TO have been burning some time before
it was discovered.
The house was occupied by the families
of Col. Walter A. Way Col W Finley Way
and r. T. Way, r. T. Way being the only
one Of these gentlemen who was not alb
sent from home at the time.
For several generations this was the
home of the Walthour family, for whom
this place was named, and was still their
property. The building had been kept IN
good repair and was surrounded by a
beautiful flower garden and lovely shade
trees.
Many prominent citizens of Savannah
and Atlanta have known this as their
home, and will regret to learn of its de-
struction. There was no insurance on it.

The Talent Loses on Three Races
Out of the Five.
New Orleans, La, March 12.-Threaten-
ing weather served to detract from the
attendance at the races to-day and only
a fair crowd was present. A slight shower
fell before the races were over, but it
was not of sufficient weight to have a
detrimental effect upon the running. The
talent put their money up with every de-
gree of confidence in the horses which
were made the favorites by the bookies
and fell down on three of the FIVE events.

The After Effects of the Grip Seem
4" He Worse Than the Disease
Itself


There are more weak, tired and run
loWn people to-day than have been seen
De-oIe IN I'VE years, and owing to one
9pCCiaA cause that cause is the grip. Grip
- nor - severe this year as in the past.
~ II IS very prevalent and quite as an
os4Is- ~ leaves the person weak, sub

Hlsn IeFer, restlessness, lack of appetite
Ddu taste IN the mouth and pains through
Yul the body. The worst thing about grip
- Stttns over It, and even after ii is
DLoheh, II IS weeks sometimes months and
covers.
Here. is where the great danger. the
great dread which attends the grip arises.
IL leaves the body weak often broken
aIlQ open TO all the attacks which may
life.
Now, there is only one way to overcome
thS aIter-eHects of the grip. and that is

ulant until IL regains its health and
Strength There is nothing which Will do

thousands of statements could be given
concerning people who have been brought
around to perfect health after suffering
from the grip in its worst form, entirely
through its use. Care should be taken that
no other stimulant is used in its place
for there is no other that will answer the
purpose so well. Some druggists or grocers
otten seek TO substitute common whiskfes
but IN case of after-effects of the grin
you cannot be too careful and should Sc
cure only the best.

The Marine Band Not to Give n sa-

Columbia, S. c., March 12-The CITY
council of Columbia tonight refused to
allow the manager of the opera house
Of this city to open his house for a sa-
cred concert on Sunday afternoon, March
81, by the United States Marine band.
This decision was reached by a vote of
to 3.
1t was taken on the ground that it was
a performance for profit and. therefore,
came under the ordinance relating to
business, for which licenses were charged.
and which prohibited the doing of any
business in the city on the Sabbath One
of the three referred to suggested that
it was just as much a violation of the
ordinance for street cars and for hotels
to run and for railroad tickets to be sold
The opposition took the ground that these
were public necessities.

The Organization of a Protection
Club Follows McKinIey's Arrival.
Atlanta, Ga, March 12.-The passing
through of Gov. Mckinley. the great Ohio
protectiOnist, who spent the day here on
his way to Thomasville with his wife for
her health has set the protection idea a
bubbling at a great rate. Last night, in
anticipation of Gov. McKinley's arrival.
half dozen well known protectionist re-
publicans got together here and discussed
plans for the formation of protection
league in Georgia. The little confab was
gotten up by several Atlanta gentlemen.
J. F. Ballman, a lawyer, who bolted the
democracy last summer; Mr.. Everett,
western republican, and Mr.. Bryan Of
Iowa were present. Besides these gem
tlemen and several other adopted Allan
tanis, Maj. j. L. Hanson and r. D. Locke
OF Macon wer also present and engaged
in the discussion. All were emphatic in
expressing their conviction that the sal
walton of the country rests solely in the
policy of protection and the overthrow
of the Democratic party. They propose
to form first a protection party in At
lanta and later on to widen their opera
tons and form a league in the state.
Judging by the attendance at last nights
meeting the protection idea will need
close nursing in these parts to amount to
much.
Along with the launching Of the protec-
ton league scheme and the presence of
Gov. Mckinley the announcement was
also made by j. d. Collins, a well known
financier, that he had forsworn the de-
mocracy and accepted repubhcanism on
account Of the protection doctrine of that
party. Mr.. Collins, who has held several
public Offices, also announces that he has
formed a republican club with a couple of
hundred members, being himself president
