Save Assessment Work on Mines.

Save Assessment Work on Mines. The new law requires annual work on every location or relocation. This is saved by obtaining United States patent. Five hundred dollars worth of work or improvements on one mine, or scattered over a group of adjoining mines, is sufficient to ensure a United States patent to any number of mines so grouped, or for a single mine.

Matt Ransom In Mexico.
The Appropriate Remarks Of the
Minister to President Dlaz.


WASHINGTON. April 26 The State
Department has made public the re-
marks exchanged between Minister
Ransom and President Diaz when the
former presented his credentials re-
Gently. Mr.. Ransom vas fresh from
the atmosphere of the State Depart
meut, and apparently thoroughly i'm
bued with the policy of this govern
ment toward other republics.
Among other things, che minister de-
clared that "tbe relations existing be-
tween the Two great republics, divided
by a conventional line extending across
the continent from the Gulf Of Mexico
to the Pacific Ocean, must ever be a
subject of serious interest to every
patriotic citizen of both countries. No
thoughtful observer car cross the boun-
Diary aud not realize that every con-
sheraton of interest, every obligation
Of duty and every sentiment of patriot
ism enjoin peace and amity as the
policy-I had almost said as the law
between them.
The United States and Mexico re-
cognize that justice between nations,
as Individuals is the mother of peace
and the first law of human happiness.
"They regard national justice as "a
tional honor-the greater the power Of
the nation, the greater its sense OF jus.
tice. They both know that national
discords have been the most fruitful
sources Of the public calamity and that
national friendships have been almost
universally productive of public and
personal welfare.
To-day, peace is the interest and
duty Of all nations, but to United
States and to Mexico-bouud in terri
tory together by the indissoluble laws
Of nature and united by the ties of COM
merce, by the sympatbies of popular
government and by the time honored
experiences Of respect-amity and har-
mcny promise the most substantial
bene6cence."
After paying this tribute to Mexico's
improving commercial condition and re.
ferriug to Minister Gray's death, Mr..
Ransom delivered his credentials.
President Diaz replied with reciprocal
declarations of amity and admiration.

Can Jurors Take Notes.
A New Question Sprung in a Flor
ida Circuit Court.

JACKSONVILLE, April 29.-Tbe ques-
ton Of whether a juror in a criminal
case may take down in writing notes OF
the testimony of witnesses, has been
raised 10 the criminal court here by
some of the lawyers. 1t is coutended
by them that the jurors must listen to
the evidence and only take mental notes
and that If a juror takes down notes on
the testimony in writing and uses bis
notes in the jury room, that his actioo
is sufficient grounds for setting aside
the verdict.
Judge Phillips has not rendered any
decision on the question. If the court
sustains the opinion Of those who be-
lieve the verdict should be Sc. aside
on the grounds stated, a plumber OF
cases tried last week will be effected, as
one Of the jurors took down notes OF
the testimony on every case IN which
be served.

Sloan Hearst Dies on the
GallOWS.

ABBEv1LIE, April 26. Sloan Hearst
colored, was executed in the Jail here
this morning at II o'clock by Sheriff
Nance. He was perfectly calm aud COL
lected, and seemed to be the least ex-
cited of those who were present. A
minister of his own race attended him
on the scafold, and be declared to him
that he was ready to die. The drop
was about six feel, and his neck was
broken by the fall. The doctors de-
clared that life vas extinct 10 seven
minutes. He did not move a muscle
after he fell. The body was allowed
to haug twenty minutes and was then
turned over to his relatives, who car
ried it to Troy, bis former bone, for
burial.
The crime for which Sloan Hearst
paid the extreme penalty of the law
was the brutal and willful murder, on
December 3, 1894, of Lemmie Rapley-
a colored woman with whom be had
had Illicit relations for some years. al
though be had a wife and several chill
dreu. He was tried at the January
term of court before Judge Buchanan.
Col. W. C. MCGOWAN was appointed by
the court to defend h.m, aud be did
everything in his power for him, but,
the case was too plain, and the Jury
returned with a verdict of guilty IN a
very short time after they left the
court room. He was sentenced to be
hanged on the 18th day Of March. On
a petition for executive clemency being
filed, the Governor granted him a re-
spite ill the 18th day of April, in order
that he might have time to look into
the matter. Shortly before the time for
the execution came, the Governor an
nounced that be refused to commute
the sentence, but be granted a further
respite until to-day, on account of the
illness of Mr.. James II. Nance, the
son of the sheriff, who died on the
Right Of the 11th of April.
Tac Sheriff did everything in his
power to make the life Of tie doomed
nan as comfortable as possible, aud
The arrangements for the execution
were perfect.
Hears, died game, aud made no
statement on the scatfo!d as to the
murder.
Hearst was tried, convicted and exc
cuted within less than SOC yards of
where the crime was committed

their battle royal !; then the American
people will award the victory"
How do you think the question vii.
be settled !"
The majority Of the American peo-
pie in both political parties are 10 favor
Of the restoration of the free coinage Of
silver. They are a conservative peo-
pie, respecting all rights and moving
slowly that they may not disturb them
They may be repressed once il a while
but once they take up a question, there
will be no cessation until it is brought
to a elimination. The American peo-
pie are to-day behind the free silver
movement aud they will push it on to
success and have silver re-established
to it's old equality with gold. When
the people take up a question. the
party succeeds which has the foresight
and the wisdom to constitute itself the
agency Through which their desires can
be accomplished. This great financial
question, which has come to US side by
side With the tariff question, will be set,
tied likewice by the Democratic party.
In the next campaign the rehabilitation
of silver will be the main and control
ing issue upon which the Democracy
will appeal to the people. Party plat
forms should always be plaiu and direct
I do not believe 10 those planks which
are so written as to catch voters coming
and going.
ssParties should be honest to the peo-
pie. Whatever room existed for differ,
ent constructions of the platform OF
1892 should no longer exist and fer this
purpose that to be adopted in 1896
should be so plain that even a school
boy could understand 1t

Then he added : eff Secretary Morton

coinage of silver, Mr.. Cleveland would
probably have dismissed him from his
cabinet, instead of merely disclalming
his act.

What About it Now?
Constable Davis Makes Seizures
Under Instructions.

Whether it was prearranged or not,
the arrival of q dozen bottles of ex-
port beer here yesterday afternoon
may start the fight on Judge COTS
restraining order. 1t was an innocent
looking case that came in at the
Union depot Friday. which has gone
through the routine Of seizure. The
constables who are loo. 4 in Colum.
bia have beer eagerly waiting for
something to pounce down upon.
Yesterday afternoon Constable A. T.
Davis was at the station awaiting the
arrival of the train from Augusta.
One Of the packages unloaded had
stamped on the side, "Jef Davis
Fine Old Rye Whiskey." and on the
top ofthe case was marked "Glass."
1t was directed to D. II. Goble,
Columbia, S. G. Constable Davis
thought that this was as direct an in
vitation to the seizure as could
very we'll be given. He put a cou-
pie of cross marks on the box, aud
after it had been put on the express
wagon trailed it up to the office. Be-
fore going to the express Office it is
understood he telephoned to the Gov
errors Office and received instructions
to make the seizure.
At the express Office, upon the ar
rival of the wagon containing the
spotted" box, there were about a
dozen people. They wanted to see
what would happen. In due course
of time the package was taken off the
wagon. and Constable Davis called
for a Ratchet with which to open the
box. 1t was opened and found to
contain about a dozen bottles marked
export beer" The constable was
satisfied that the labels indicated
what was in the bottles, but 10 further
satisfy himself had n of the crowd
sample one of the bottles.
After this preliminary tasting the
package was sealed and a receipt
given to the Southern Express Com
pany for the box, which was taken in
charge by Constable Davis.
1t is evident that if anyone is so
disposed, that this will make a plain
case, and it might be used to settle
the effect Of the order recently grant
ed by Judge Golf.
Governor Evans yesterday said that
the constables were making their
seizures the same as usual. They had
during the day made seizures at
Greenwood, Greenville and other
points in the State. From the re-
ports he received, there was no un-
usual attempt being made to bring
liquor into the State on account Of the
order of Judge Golf.
it has been suggested by those
who have looked into the matter that
there is no contempt of court on the
part of the constables unless they are
named in a special order, and that a
contempt cannot be made in civil
cases by a general order not to do
certain things.-Columbia State.

The Bousey Horror.
Similar to the Johnstown,
Pa, Disaster.

PARIS, April 2S.-Reports of the
devastation caused by the bursting of
the reservoir at Bousey yesterday have
been received from Epinal hourly this
afternoon. The loss Of. life is far
beyond the first estimates. About $50
deaths are now known to have been
caused by the food, and the list may
grow, as in the confusion aud ruin il
bas been impossible to %accountfo for scores
of persons who are missing. The
search for dead bodies is still 10 pro-
gress. Thirty or more of the dead
we're buried to-day. The villages and
peasant farms in the path of the food
are strewn with the wrecks of buildings
and are covered with heavy layers Of
mud. More than 200 families are
homeless and destitute.
NJ. Leagues, minister of the interior,
has gone with a staff of officials to the
afflicted district to distribute money
among the ueedy. Most of the towns
near Epinal have sent food and cloth
ing to the destitute sufferers. A large
part of the valley is little more than a
morass with timbers and uprooted, trees
%protrudiug from the mud. The soldiers
who are looking for bodies make only
slow progress, as the working of
d~;so;no in the debris is necessarily
slow.
Much damage was done to the villa
ges at some distance from the dam. As
the food swept down the valley it gath
cred an immense quantity Of timbers
and tree trunks which were thrown
against the buildings in the lower neigh
borhoods. For the same reason, the
number of deaths in the lower villages
was disproportiouately great aud more
bodies were mangled than at points
nearer the dam.
Parts of the Bousey Tavern was
found to-day on the bank Of the
Moselle, eleven miles distant. The
reservoir is now empty For several
DAYS it had been above the normal level.
The exact excuse of the break is not
known. Some think the defect was in
the plan of the structure, which was
verticals. Other assert that the dam,
though originally strong, had been
cracked for years. The truth may not
be determined until the official inquiry.
Fifty thousand persons visited to-
day the scene Of desolation 10 the
Aviere Valley. The little Aviere brook,
which ordinarily is but Eve feet vide.
has been converted into a lake a mile
and a half broad. Soldiers and work
ingmen from the department. Of roads
are burying cattle and sheep as rapid
ly as possible to prevent disease. Hun
dreds of carcasses we're put under

Bousey dam was begun 10 1879 and En-
ished 10 1884. It was strengthened in
1889. The dam was $50, yards long.

We, the undersigned Christian En-
deavorers Of AsLbury Park, N. j., re-
specially call your attention to the

ments published by Father Pbelan,, one
of your priests in St. Louis. This base
and l~nexcusable assault is made upon
more than 5000, 600 plous, earnest,
cody aud irreproachable young Chris
tians 10 America. 1t is unparalleled in
its baseness and enormity, and should
cousigo its author to everlasting III.
fanny and contempt. We, therefore ask
that the creature from whom it ema-
mated be degraded, uufrocked and de-
posed from the high position which be
has SO relentlessly disgraced. We are
encouraged to make this petition from
the many protestatlooS which you, as
we'll as the holy see you ably repre-
sent, have recently fully and earnestly
made, With full confidence that you viii

A Cheerful View.
Taken of the Business Condi-
tons by Dun & CO.

New YORK, April pr. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade so-mor-
row will say:
Neither the rise in speculative mar
kets nor the steady gain in Industries
has ceased, and it is wholesome that
there are fewer signs Of hesitation 10
the productive industries than 10 spec
ulative prices. Wages strikes grow
more numerous aud cause some trouble,
and retail demand lags behind whole
sale sales and jobbing purchases be-
hind production in some branches, but
through many conflicting reports the
fact shines out that the industries are
gaining, not with a rush aud a whirl,
but more safely
1t is less clear that railroads are 10
creasipg their earnings, or that over
production of cotton will be cured by
the advance of one and three eighths
cents in price. or that corneTing short
sellers of wheat will help to market the
large surplus. but revival of activity
in all directions, if possibly excessive
in some, help confidence to take the
throne so long held by distruss. Re-
covery is not often ENTHUSIASTICALLY
equitab BILE. When the load Of depression
is lifted, aud men find that better thin gs
have come to stay, there must be maUy
contradictory changes. Quite a number
of works have advanced wages during
the week, but strikes to compel an ad-
vance, possible for some. but DOT for
others, have grown much more uumer-
Gus. Some shops are closing for want
of orders, but a largenumber are re-
suming work. Prices of shoes and cot
ton goods are rising wool and woolsns
are lower. It would be a distinctly IN
natural movement, inviting only dis.
trust. if it were sympathetic and with
equal steps 10 all branches.
Cotton mills are getting more money
for goods aud have quite generally ad-
vapced wages. The consumption of
Northern spiuners, at the maximum,
would 10 eight months be 1850, 900
bales, but they have actually taken
1850, 600 and have a profit 90 900, 0OO
bales of over 100000. The con-
sumption is large, and advances seem
10 be warranted
Iron production, stimulated because
ore, coke aud oil were to be dearer, is
retarded by a shrinking demand for
products, for, on the whole, new bust
ness is said to be smaller than in Feb
ruary on March.
The structural demand for bulldogs
throughout the country was never
larger. TIE frenzy in oil has started a
large demand for pipe, and sheets
slightly advance. Rails are staguan!
though a shade better at Chicago.
Wire for fencing, for nails and wire
rods are so dull as to be scarcely
quoted, and bar, though lifted a shade,
meets no Increased demand. Besemer
Dig is lower, and sales Of Southern pig
10 Northern markets have been large
at 25 cents advanced.
Money is coming hither from the in.
terror, aud a larger demand for cory
mercial loans appears, especially from

and from importers. Failures for
