Never Reached the Pen

Hampton, s. c., Oct. 19.-William
Blake, Sr., Jason Blake, Prince Graves
and William Frazier were convicted
to-day of the murder Of Raymond
Meares on the 9th of August last.
William Blake, Sr., was recommended
to the mercy of the court, and his
sentence was life Imprisonment. The
others were sentenced to be hanged
on Dee. g next. After the prisoners
were sentenced il was evident that
there was much dissatisfaction at the
jury's recommendation to mercy of
William Blake, ST., and some persons
were heard to say that Blake would
never reach the ~penitentiary. The
convicted men, as o as court adj.
journed, were h~andcuffed and taken
out of the court room. On their way
to the Jail, within a few feet of the
prison, the sheriff and his constables
were overpowered by a number of
men and William Blake, Sr., was sum-
marily lynched.

at night seize the vessel. after murder

engage In the coastwise trade. 1t was
decided to kill the officers, beginning
with Morris Fitzgerald. the second
mate. who was not popular. The 9th

Jones' locker by the same route. The
night of Jan. IL was selected FOR the
disposal Of the officers. The starboard

Duluth, Oct. &c. II. Stuckey. the
cashier Of the State Bank, is missing
and with him $4,000 Of the banks
cash. He locked the safe and closed
the bank as usual last evening, and
everything was supposed to be all
right. He did not put In an appear
anCe at his accustomed time this
morning, however, and when the safe
vas opened it was discovered that all
the bills of large denomination and all
of the gold coin was gone. Investiga-
ton showed that he had not occupied
his room at his residence last night,
and further search failed to disclose
his Whereabouts. The police were i'm
mediately summoned, and they are
confident of catching Stuckey. They
think the great bulk of the gold
S2,5o0-will help in detecting him, as
1t will be hard to conceal. For some
time past Stuckey has been leading a
fast life. and has been on intimate
terms with a notorious woman, and 1t
Is thought that he was living beyond
his means. The bank officials say
the defalcatiOn will in no way affect
the solyency of the bank, as it is pro-
tected by a bond of $4,000.

1t is the simplest of all truths that
you cannot buy suit of English-made
cloth and diffuse the money spent upon
it among the American artisans. The
English artisans get the money, and
they do not spend it in America.
They spend it in England. No in
creased demand for American grain or
meat comes from Europe when we in.
crease our purchases of manufactures
from Europe; Europe vests her new
surplus in Argentine, Australian and
East Indian railways, and grain fields
and cattle ranches, and imports more
food from those countries because they
can be made to produce it more cheaply
than it can be produced in the United
Sales.--future Forum.

Reformed Spelling.

Some seven years ago the German ma
ton quietly simplified it's spelling by
the knocking out Of various superfuous
letters. For 30 years a number Of Amer
lean enthusiasts have been trying to do
something Of the same kind for the Eng
ish language Before that Webster in
itated the move, which has finally sue
ceeded here, to drop the Gu" that is still
retained by the English in such words as
"favour," "labour" and "honour.
Webster also made several other admira-
Bile changes in the direction Of shorten
ing and simplifying words, changes
which, although generally adopted in
America, are still repudiated with scorn
by the British.
The changes contemplated by another
school of reforlners Of the English Ian
guage, in addition to simplifcations like
spelling words beginning with "ph'
with "f'' instead, as erase" for
"phrase," would reorganize our Ian
guage on the phonetic basis, or $50
netic," as the new spelling would be-
We would spell words as they are pro-
nounced. This was the reform attempt
ed 80 years ago, but which has never
succeeded to any extent. Funk & Wag-
nails, the publishing firm, propose now,
however, to take the matter up in ear
nest
They have issued circulars on the sub
ject to publishers, teachers and scholars
throughout the country. In these circu-
lars they declare that they will adopt
forthwith into their four periodical
publications the new spelling if a suf-
fcient number of those to whom the Cir
culars are addressed will do the same,
so that F. &. w. will not be forced tt
bear alone the brunt of all the criticism
that will be fired at them. The circular
contains list Of the words whose spell
ing it is proposed to change.
Some Of the words they will change
slightly are geographical names. Fo1
instance, they will spell Boring sea
Tibet, Sudan, Chile, Korea and Halt
as here written. Many authorities d.

such words as :'dropped' they woul<

of brevity. In many other words Fun
