MRS. MuDD's COMPLAINT.
She Tells Why She Wants Divorce from
Her Husband


william E. Niudd, railroad man, has
been behaving very badly, according TO the
story of his wife, Margaret. She has,
therefore. brought suit for divorce.
In the bill, filed yesterday, she says they
were married on March 16, 1887, by the
Rev. NJ. Treadway, Methodist Protestant
minister They have a son, Lester, seven
years old Since 1890 she has been COM
pelled TO earn a support for herself and the
boy On July ii, 1894, she was compelled
by his abusive treatment to return 10 her
mothers, where she continues to live.
Since then he has been spending much of
his time with Minnie Thompson, woman
of bad repute, and worse than all else, has
been taking Lester with him to visit the
Thompson woman. She therefore asks for
the custody of the boy, and as the father is
earning 500 month, that he be compelled
10 support him.

4 Murder Mystery.

SPARTASBURG, August q. o..
Carson was found in bed yesterday
morning with his head almost severed
from his body. His head also was
horribly mashed in several places. 1t
was an awful sight, and strong men
grew faint and turned away from per-
haps the most sickening and bloody
sight they had ever seen.
Carson was a well-to do farmer al
New Prospect and was very popular
here. At the inquest today his wife
testified that it was suicide, but the
evidence and circumstances connected
with his death prove conclusively that
it was murder most foul, and that his
SLAYER had premeditated the deed.
Bloody tracks were to be seen on the
floor while blood was entirely absent
from the dead mans feet. Several
pieces of blade from Il razor were
found imbedded in his throat. Mrs.
Carson says that her husband had Of
ten times accused her of being un
faithful and that scandalous> stories
had been told on her -
It looks to be d very crooked and
ugly affair. 1t is believed that Mrs.
Carson knows more about her hus-
bands death than she has told and it
is also thought she can place her hand
on the murderer Some very sensa-
tional developments may yet be
brought to light The coroners jury
returned Il verdict that he came to
his death by some one unknown to
to them. The matter will be investi-
gated and arrests will surely follow

Starving and Naked.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The condi
ton of the distressed negro coionlstS
from Georgia and Alabama, who
deserted the Tlahualilo colony in
Mexico, is more deplorable than was
at first supposed. Consul Sparks, at
PledraS Negras telegraphs the State
Departments that while r,tlons are
being furnished the three hundred
colonsists who have reached Eagle
Pass, Tex. They are practically naked.
The other three hundred, who nave
not vet crossed to the United States,
have little 10 eat. No Subscription TO
furnish these colon!sts with food and
clothing and transportation 20 their
homes has been started, and the State
Department has no funds forthtt pur-
pose. Many OF them are i'll, but are
receiving medical attendance from
Assistant Surgeon Ten E.yck, Of the
army. 1t is not known how the colon
sists will be cared for unless Subscrip-
ton is started for their relief, such as
was done in this conutry for the star
wing Russian peasants.

The Dispens;try Cases,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 1.-The at,
torneys representing the Charleston
liquor men whose cases have been
transferred to Orangeburg county for
trial by Judge Buchanan under the
change of venue section of the dis
pensary law, ter the Charleston
grand jury had returned mo bills, are
going to fight the constitutionality OF
the proceeding.
They have appealed to the State Su'
preme Court in each of the SIX cases
pending, from Judge Buctlanan's ac,
ton. All of the cases will doubtless
be merged into one 20 avoid multiple
ity of suits, All are familiar with the
proceedings, when the change Of venue
was granted by Judge Buchanan, un-
der section IS of the dispensary law.
The appeals are taken by Messrs.
Murphy, Farrow & Legare and Mr..
Bissell.
The grounds Of appeal in all of the
six cases are the same, and in the case
of NJ. L. Clark, they are stated as fol-
lows:
First That his honor erred in hold
ing that section 45 of the dispensary
law was constitutional.
Second-That his honor erred in not
holding that in a criminal cause, the
place of trial cannot be changed on
motion of the State.
Third-In that his honor erred in
not holding that until true bill has
been found by the grand jury, a per-
son charged with a criminal otfense
cannot be carried to another county
from that in which the oifensc is COM
mitted to answer a bill Of indictment
to be preferred in such other county.
Fourth-In that his honor erred IN
not holding that until a arue bill has
been found by the grand jury, no case
is pending and no change of venue
can be granted either on motion OF the
State or of the accused.
Fifth-In that his honor erred in not
holding that section As of the dispen-
sary law is in violation of sections II,
13, 10, of article I, of the Constitution
of South Carolina, and, therefore,
void; and in ordering that the ease"
against NJ. L. Clark be transferred
from Charleston to Orangeburg coun-
ty.
Sixth-In that his honor erred IN ad-
mitting in evidence the atfidavits Of
witnesses as to what said witnesses
swore before the grand jury.
Seventh-In that his honor erred IN
holding that what witnesses swore be-
fore the grand jury was admissible,
but what was said by member OF the
grand jury to witness was inadmissi-
BILE.
Eighth-That until true bill was
found by the grand jury, his honor
was without jurisdiction to transfer
the above cause to Orangeburg county.
.Ninth--That no notice of said motion
was served on NJ. L. Clarke or his at
torneys

An Old Mans Folly.

.JACKsvILLE. Fla. July 3l.-A spec
ial othe Times Union from Macclenny
Fla. says: The suspection is growing
that Mrs. G.. W. Craig has not told
all she knows about the assault on her
husband on Monday night, in which
his skull was broken. Mr.. Craig is an
old man and is considered wealth y.
Some months ago he advertised
for a wife and the advertisement
was answered by a Mrs Bal

came to see Craig and they were mar
ried on the day of her arrival With
Mrs. Bailv came a young girl, VINO,

ter the marriage it was learned that Mr.
Craig were not living happily Mrs
Craig was handsome woman much
Younger than her husband. and very
extravagant. it IS alleged. Some time
ago Mrs Craig said she and her
daughter were going back to Albion,
III. as the could not endure Craig.
The disagreement of the people, to-
gether with the queer story tGid by
Mrs. Craig Of the assault on her hus-
band, has caused suspicion TO be di,
rected towards her. It is considered
yerv remarkable that she should see
her aged husbands skull crushed at / l
o'clock at night and say nothing about
it until the next morning Mrs. Craig
and her daughter left the Craig resid

they were stopped by sheriff Ponds
