CROOK WITH A CONSCIENCE.
Wouldn't See an Innocent Man

SneciaI to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, Nov. 1.-THE Argus
Leader will print tomorrow the fol-
lowing letter bearing on the numerous
postal and other robberies which have
occurred in this state of late:
Editor of the Argus-Leader-Dea
Sir: I want to ask you to help all in
nocent man. Seeing in your paper that
there was three men arrested for bur-
glarizing the Hills, Mimi, postoffice,
also the Sherman postoffice and the l.
c. depot. They have got the wrong.
man in custody, for we did the work,
and to prove to you and the public L
man postoff1ce. We entered the front
door of the store. There were two dogs
in there, a, little, one and a. big one. We
let the little one out and shut the big
one up in the back room. We put a
SIG hole in the front door of the safe
strength Of the powder, we broke the
glass out of the windows. We got
about $18. From there we went to
hardware store and were scared away.
In the Hills postoftice we entered the
side window in the tin sh1op. and put
SIG hole in the side. This did not
work. We put one in the front. This
did not get through. We put another
in the front and blew the door off, get
ting s35, including a 81 gold piece. The
of the Illinois Central depot, moved
the safe away from the wall, put a SIG
hole in the door Of the safe and blew
it off. We got nothing. We piled sew
eral sacks of sugar in front of it and
broke several of them open. This
should convince the public that we are
the parties that did the work. If you
will have the kindness to give this let
ter to these mems attorneys, if they
have any, and also to let the public
know about it, you will be doing a
favor to men that are innocent of that
crime. AS you may wonder what
prompted me to write this, I will tell
you 1 was once a victim of circum-
stances myself and had to suffer, and
do not want anybody else to suffer for
my work. Onsigned)
One noticeable feature about this let
ter is that the upper half of the post
mark is missing, the lower part of the
stamp only having touched the envel
ope. This bears the mark Missouri.

REPLEVINED A CORPSE.
1t Had Been Sent c. o. ID. From
Omaha to Hill City, s. ID.

HILL CITY, S. D., Nov. 1.-THE
body of Mrs. r. Roberts, who died
Nov u at st. Ioseph's hospital, Oma-
ha, was replevined today from the To-
cal Adams Express agent that her
funeral might be held as announced
this Afternoon.
Mrs. Roberts, the wife of a poor
miner, was sent to Omaha by the con-
tributions of friends several weeks
since to receive surgical treatment.
She failed to survive the operation, and
upon receipt of a dispatch from the at
tending surgeon that $50 would be re-
quired for the hospital and undertaR
er's bills a second purse was made up
to cover the amount.
The remains arrived C. o. d. for $50,
and it was found the Omaha doctor
claimed a balance of $50 upon his bill
of $155.
The generous miners and business
men of Hill City were indignant. After
consulting a lawyer a writ of replevin
was secured, and ait 2 p. m. the funeral
procession moved from the depot to the
Presbyterian church, where the eXer-
cises were held.

LIFE SAVERS DID GOOD WORK.
Increased Proficiency Shown
YEARS. Losses.

WASHINGTON, Nov. T7-Mr. KIM
ball, superintendent Of the life saving
service, in his annual report states that
at the close of the fiscal year last, the
establishment embraced 251 stations
1874 being on the Atlantic, SO on the
lakes, 13 on the Pacific and l at the
Falls of the Ohio, at Louisville, Ky.
The number of disasters to docu-
mented vessels within the field of oper-
ations of the service during the year
was 483. There were on board these
vessels 5,402 persons, of whom 1882 were
saved and 20 lost. Eight hundred and
three shipwrecked persons received
succor at the stations, to whom 2,232
days relief in the aggregate was af-
forded. The estimated value of the
vessels involved was sS001, ,275, and that
of their cargoes s2,645,960 making a
total value of property imperiled s10,-
647, ,235. Of this amount s9,145,0S3 was
saved and 81 ,502, $50 was lost. The num-
ber of vessels totally lost was 73. In
addition to the foregoing there were
during the year 1872 casualties to small
craft, on board of which there were 421
persons, Ais of whom were saved and
lost.
Besides the number of persons saved
from vessels of all kinds, there were
10 others rescued who had fallen from
wharves, piers, etc, the most of whom
| would have perished without the aid
| of life saving crews. The crews saved
and assisted to save during the year
| 379 vessels, valued with their cargoes
at $3,561 665, and rendered assistance of
minor importance to ISL other vessels
| in distress, besides warning from dan
ger by signals of the .patrolmen 249
vessels. The Investigations SNave that
/ no life was, lost through the lack of
prompt and faithful efforts on the part
of the life saving men. The number
of disasters within the scope of the
service exceeded that of any previous
year by 70. This excess, it is said, is in
a measure due to the extension Of the

ANOTHER IN THE WRECK.

ANOTHER IN THE WRECK.
The diver at work on the wreck to-
day brought up a handful of hair from
the head of a woman whose body was
wedged under the motor trucks. The
body is believed to be that of Miss
Martha Sauerheimer, of 154 Merchant
avenue, who was enormously reported
among the list of identified bodies last
night. Miss Sauerheinler went to mar
ket last evening with her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Sauerheimer, and they were re-
turning home together on the car that
went into the river. The body of Mrs.
Sauerheimer has been recovered, and
there is no doubt that the corpse of
the young woman is at the bottom of
the river. Her friends and relatives
have walked up and down the dock
under the bridge all day, wringing
their hands and crying. The girls
father became so desperate that it was
found necessary to take him away to
prevent his jumping into the river and
drowning himself.
Augusta Sarinski, although employed
| as domestic, was young woman of
refinement and education. She was the
daughter of German military officer,
oilu DSSll III lIlS country dDOuI d
year. She came to America to see the
! country, and determined to pay her
i own way. She sought employment as
a domestic here and had won the love
and esteem of her employers, Mr. and
Mrs. Schwat, of 2O7 Central avenue.
When she met death Miss Sarinski was
on her way to the South side to visit
an uncle who is i'll.
The coroner will begin an investiga-
ton of the accident tomorrow.
The people of the South side, where
most of the victims lived, suffered the
greatest shock. This morning the reg
ular services at Pilgrim Congregational
church, the largest in that section of
the city, were abandoned, and the SER
mon and remarks of the pastor were
devoted to the calamity. In the after
noon a largely attended meeting of
citizens was held at the same church,
at which resolutions were adopted ex-
preszing sympathy with the families
of the victims and calling upon the
city council to take immediate steps
to guard against accidents on all the
city bridges.
THE TRUCKS RAISED.
The diver succeeded this evening in
fastening a chaln to the trucks of the
motor, and they were raised from the
river. The bed of the stream was then
dragged, but no more bodies were
found. Two persons are still missing,
however, and it is probable that their
bodies floated down the river. They
are those of Miss Sauerheimer, who
was thought to have been wedged un-
der the motor, and Matthew Callahan.
The search was given up tonight and
all the wreckage removed from the
scene of the accident.
Arrangements have been made for
the funerals of the victims, nearly all
of which will occur on Tuesday.
Tonight August Rogers, the motor
man who has been held as witness,
was charged with manslaughter. This
action was taken by Chief of Police
Hoehn after he had investigated the
accident. After the charge had been
placed against him, nobody was per-
mitted to see Rogers. Late tonight the
coroner announced that he would not
begin the inquest until the bodies now
supposed to be in the river had been
recovered.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

One of the best farce comedy events of
the season will be enjoyed at O'Briens
opera house Thursday evening. october
10, on which date those popular enter
tainers, Ward and Volkes, and their big
company in "A Run On the Bank" will
be presented The engagement contains
added interest in that Prof. 7. Wilmot
Eckert and wife are with the company.
These talented musicians and singers
are we'll remembered by all music loving
people in Birmingham. Professor Eek
ert was director of the Mendelsohn soci-
ETY. and organist of the Church of the Ad-
vent during the season of 1884, and Mrs.
Eckert's cultivated soprano voice has
thrilled her hearers on more than one
occasion. Her solo work in the choir Of
the Church of the Advent will be remem-
bered with pleasure. This company
comes to Birmingham with the most
f1attering announcements from the press
of other cities as a high class musical
farce comedy.

THE BLAoK-wArsoN CONTEST.

Mr.. Black, the Democratic candidate
in the Augusta, Ga, district, has beaten
Mr.. Tom Watson, the Populist candi-
date, quite large majority. There was
no Republican candidate, that party
sympathizing with Watson and doing all
in their power for his success. The Au-
gusta Chronicle says:
Both sides have exerted strenuous eff
forts to win. but under conditions that
seemed most favorable to the defeat or
Congressman Black in the beginning, ne
has made a winning fight, has vindi-
Gated the Democracy of Richmond and
the district, and will return to Washing
ton with a clean commission. Mr.. Wat
son would raise himself in the estimation
of the public If he accepted the result
gracefully and yielded to the ineVltapie.
In any contest the Populists would be
at a disadvantage in the matter OF IT.
Irregularities. The Democrats have acted
with the greatest caution in following
the terms of the new registration law
and the fact that less than $500 votes
were cast in Richmond, and that Mr..
Watson got only 1923 of them, shows un,
questionably that fraud was not needed
to compass his defeat. Hardly more than
80 per cent of the voters of Richmond
county voted on yesterday, and yet with
this very light vote Congressman Black
is an easy winner.

the fact that Secretary Thompson will
secure visitors for Birmingham. whom
the club will have to look after. and as
this will be for the benefit of all there

part of every business man to at least
contribute three months dues for the ad-
vancement of Birmingham.

The Are-Herald Absorbed

The deal between the Birmingham
State and the Birmingham Age-Herald
has been closed and the State has alb
sorbed the Age-Herald and taken pos
session of the Age-Herald Office, fran
chises etc. History thus repeats itself
The Herald not a few years ago swept
the old Iron Age from the field, and now
in turn gives way to its new rival The
conditions are somewhat different. The
Age was pushed out by the superior
journalistic ability displayed by the
Herald: but the Age-Herald was crippled
and almost as good as dead before the
State was started. 1t Is possible that
Mr.. OBrien would have re-established
it had there been no opposition, but with
opposition and burdened with a debt, it
had very little chance of surviving-one
fact being recognized, that there is not
room in town of Birmingham's size for
more than one morning paper. To cir
cumstances rather than special display
of talent is the success of the State due
and although there will be claim made
that the political policy of the two papers
was a controlling factor, there is moth
ing in it. Both papers We're good news
papers. both quite as well edited as could
be expected under existing conditions and
the one with the longer purse won the
battle. That is the sum of it, In congrat-
ulating the victor. we pay Just tribute

fight was conducted with frmness, good
temper and fairness. 1t leaves behind it
a pleasant memory.-Mohile Register

THEY PROTEST.
CIanton Retail Merchants Pass Resolutions on
the Boycott of the |. & N.

To Whom it May Concern
We the undersigned retail merchants
of Clanton Ala, for ourselves and our
customers and consumers. hereby earn
estIy protest against and condemn the
recent boycott, or attempted boycott, of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company by the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association, upon the grounds
that the said railroad company declined
to yield to the demands of the said
Southern Wholesale Grocers' association
in that the said railroad company de-
clined to increase the freight rates on
it's respective lines, from Is to 20 per-
centum, thereby compelling retail mer-
chants and consumers to be governed
and controlled by said Southern Whole
sale GrocerS association. We further
call attention to the fact that this de-
mand is for the increase of freight rates
upon the neceSSarieS of life, which, of
necessity, affects to a vital extent con-
sumers, and further, that this campaign
is not so much an one against the rail-
road company, as 1T is against retail
merchants and consumers, they being
the contingent most materially affected,
and for this we desire to express to the
said railroad company our sincere and
earnest appreciation, for it's fidelity to
our interests in this fight and we unite
with and solicit the aid and co-opera-
ton of every retail merchant and con-
sumner in the southern states in pressing
to the front and protesting against and
condemning the course pursued by the
Southern Wholesale GrocerS' association
in the premises.
