The Schemer Wanted by the
San Diego Grand Jury
HIS CHARGES OF CORRUPTION
Arrival Of an Officer With an Order
for the Prisoner
he Was Not Delivered Up For the Reason
That Judge Smith Did Not Indorse the
Same-0encral Court News

Another turn has taken place in the case
of Clifton 3. Mayne, now under sentence
of twenty-five years imprisonment in the
penitentiary for debauching Elsie Shipton,
yesterday. Shortly after noon Deputy
Sheriff johnson of San Diego county called
at the sheriff's Office and presented an Or
der signed by Judge Puterbaugh of the
superior court of San Diego, asking that
Mayne be turned over to Johnson in order
that he might appear before the grand jury
now in session, and testify in regard to
the alleged bribery of the members of the
council and city officers of San Diego, as
set forth at length in Mayne's affidavit
and which forms the basis of The suit re-
Gently instituted in the United States cir
cult court.
As this was something out of the ordi-
nary, Sheriff Burr applied to the district
attorney for instructions before turning
the prisoner over. Mr.. Donnell was of the
opinion that the Endorsement OF Judge
Smith was necessary before the sheriff
would be justified in surrendering his pris-
oner, and johnson started off to look up
that officer. Judge Smith had gone home,
however, and much to Johnson's chagrin,
he could not catch the evening train for
homo with his prisoner.
The efforts OF the San Diego authorities
to get possession of Mayne caused quite a
flutter among the officers at the court
house, and 1t seemed to be the general
opinion that If the smooth schemer ever
got a. near the Mexican border as San
Diego, he would never be seen in Los An
geles again. For this reason there is a
disinclination to let him get out of the Jail
here.
Yesterday afternoon it was stated that
Mayne had had another relapse, and was
much worse. Some of the officers believe
that Mayne Is shamming to certain ex-
tent, and that he is not as sick man az he
pretends to be. He is undoubtedly a con-
sumptive, but 1t is not believed that his
condition 10 as precarious as has been
represented. In fact, it is claimed that
Mayne himself has confessed that he is
not as bad off as has been represented,
and recently remarked to friend that he
twas not near as sick as they thought he
was, and he would live to get out and job
the whole outfit that were now trying to do
him up.''

Tied Him Up for Stealing.

AUGUSTA, GA, March ga special to
the Chronicle from Gibson, Ga, says: A
sensational criminal case has just come to
light in Glascock county. Yesterday
Willis Hash swore out warrant charg-
ing Adolph Cody, oolored, with murder.
At the preliminary trial the evidence
showed that Cody had tied rope around
the body and arms of an orphan boy who
had been given to him to raise, and tied
the rope around tho joist of the room, his
feet being drawn above the floor at least
three or four inches. Cody and his wife
then left the boy In this position, and,
looking the doors Of the house, went Oh
to visit neighbor not far away.
This was after dark. A negro passing
the house heard the cries of tho boy, who
was about eight years old, and on max.
ing inquiry as to the trouble the boy told
him to come in and let him down that
Cody had tied him up with ropes. The
negro outside tried to go to the rescue,
but the doors and windows were securely
fastened, and he could not enter. The
boy begged for help, but no relief came.
The negro outside went to the house
where Cody was and told him he had
about an hour after this that Cody and
the negro went to the house where the
boy was, and when they lot him down
they discovered that he was dead.
This happened on February 81, this
year. The boy was buried and Cody re-
mained in the community until he was
arrested yesterday. The negro who witt
messed the whole transaction has just
given 1t out. The matter ia likely to
lead to nome very sensational develop
ments. Cody, in his statement, said that
he did not intend to kill the boy, but
simply tied him up to punish him for
stealing.
The Court committed Cody to jail to
await an investigation by the grand jury
at the August term of Court.

Demand for Horse Meat.

WASHINGTON, D. O., April LIN view
of the closing Of German markets to
American cattle there is another direction
toward which American packers might
we'll turn their attention, and that is the
preparation and sale of horse meat. The
above is the suggestion made by United
States Consul E. W. Tingle, at Bruins
wick, Germany, in q report to the State
department. He says that in large Ger
man cities the consumption Of horse meat
is almost as great as chat of beef and
mutton and 1t is growing In tho smaller
towns.
Ofcourse the customers are exclusively
of the poores classes, but they comprise
nine-tenths Of the consumers of the coun-
try and the meat Is sold for cents
pound as against beef at from Is to Is
cents. The consul sets out reasons to
prove that horse meat is quite as good as
beef. Ho says the demand has increased
so rapidly in Germany that it is difficult
to meet it, apd whereas butchers former
ly paid from % to $40 for wore out hor-
ses for slaughter, they now pay Sa5 and
$50 and prices are rising.
The consul sees here great opportu-
nifty for American packers. lie says the
horse supply in America is sinexhaustible;
they can be raised in the West cheaper
than cattle, and are more easily shipped.
The meat cannot be canned, but it can be
furnished salted or smoked as well as
fresh, just as it is used in Germany. The
report touches upon tho astonishing ra-
pidity of the disuse of horses in America
con sequent upon the introduction of the
trolley car which has made horse raising
in the West improbable, and urges that
the ranchmen may find relief by raising
horses for food, the prejudice against the
meat in America being no good reason
why he should not profit by the different
state of thing in another country.

A Model Lancaster Farmer.

LANCASTER, March 25.-Y0ur CORES
pondent has given an account heretofore
Of the products Of the farm OF I. K. Cum
ningham, who raised one hundred and
twenty-five bales Of cotton on ninety
seven acres of land, besides q quantity OF
other products on other lands, and he
desires now to give brief account of the
product last year Of small farm of Mr..
Wade II. Reeves. Mr.. Reeves removed
from Richland County few years ago
and settled in the suburbs Of the village
of Lancaster.
Mr.. Reeves owns small tract of land,
consisting of eighty-seven acres, Of which
he had about thirty-fve acres in cultiva-
tion last year. On this he gathered five
hundred bushels Of corn, sixty bushels
of peas, fifteen bushels of Irish potatoes,
ten bushels Of onions, besides tomatoes,
grapes, cabbage, strawberries. spinach
and asparagus, and quantity Of poultry
and eggs. He 10 enlarging his farm, and
especially his truck farm, and by his

Doctoring Paper Money.

OMAHA, March 2S.-Counterfeit bills
have appeared in Omaha showing that
sharpers know some chemical that re-
moves the ink from the paper from which
greenbacks are manufactured without
iDjuring the paper. Then the crooks put
in other figures, raising the amount ten
fold. The First National bank received
on Saturday one of the bills, and another
was exhibited to the Merchants National
bank teller. Both had come from retail
ors. The bill at the First National il q 81
treasury note, payable in coin, Of the
series of 1886, and with the likeness Of
Stanton on one side. The other Is silver
certificate of the 1880 series. on which
appears the face Of Martha Washington.
Without the use Of glass to follow the
ink stains in the fiber of the paper tho
only manner in which the spurious bills
can be detected is by the vignettes on
either side. This betrays its spurious
origin, but affords no protection except to
experts, who are aware that these like
nesses do not appear on any bills of the
denomination $40.
A secret service agent yesterday said an
alarming feature of the case is that chem
icals are being used by this gang to
remove the figures in the original. The
fiber of the paper in use is supposed to
be proof against this sort of manipula-
ton. Probably two dozen figures must
be removed in each bill handled and
others substituted,

The Constabies Got Left.

Sometimes dispensary conHtables get
badly left and turn the laugh on them
selves and enjoy the fun. Yesterday
first class case had been work ed up and
the game was 30 certain that constables
Duncan and Cody roped in Deputy
Sheriff Ballinger and the three, armed
with huge warrant, ambled down the
Augusta road, cracking jokes and dis
cussing the supposed feelings Of their
victim when. they hauled him up all Of
sudden and clapped the warrant of arrest
in his face.
For four miles they wended their way,
exchanging compliments with farmers
who were in the fields plowing and all
home of one William Davis, colored, who
was supposed to live on the place Of r.
H. Jacobs.
Deputy Sheriff Ballinger is supposed
to know where every man in Greenville
lives and he encouraged the constables
with the information that it was only
little further and so their spirits were
At last the party hove in sight of q
colored man blowing. The deputy sheriff
announced that they had reached the
farm of Mr.. Jacobs and it was decided to
enter into preliminary negotiation with
the man who was engineering the mule
and find out from him if there was such
a person as Willie Davis in and about
that section. The three officers at once
hailed the plowman, who seemed per-
fectly willing to stop work, even If be
had to waste his time talking to consta-
bles.
When the officers got near enough he
noticed their badges, remarking:
"You seem to hab mighty big tobacker
tags on yo' coats"
The officers at once commenced to
make enquiries about the much-wanted
Willie Davis.
"Yes, I knows him-knows i'm good |;
an you better keep an eye on dat niger.
Oats him cross yonder on dat hill 'twixt
de plow handles wild de white mule.
Oats Willie" And he pointed to man
about mile away, who was quietly fol-
lowing the plow.
The officers trudged along and soon
got up with the man and the white mule
and opened up their business, suggesting
that he was the much wanted Willie
Davis. "Me, Willie Davisv exclaimed
the old colored man. "Dat'n him over
dar by de road you just come"
All eyes were turned to the spot whore
they had left the man ut the roadside, but
he waa gone and the mule was gone and
the plow was there.

The Forty Conference met in Colum-
bia last week, and, with four or five e1-
sceptions, all the Counties in The State
Werereprossnted. The proceedings were
skarmonious, and the representatives from
both factions seemed to desire peace and
unity in the State. In another column
no publilh q portion Of the proceedings
with the addrers adopted and authorized
TO pc issued to the voters Of the State.
This address recommends an equal
;diyision Of the delegates to the Conven-
Hon, and urges all factional feeling to be
laid aside In the selection Of delegates, 30
that's Convention 3f honest, patriotic
and able men may be secured. An E1-
:ecutive Committee was selected to carry
.cutthe recommendations OF the confer
sence, and this committee will appoint
one Raformer and one Conservative in
each County as local committee to
assist in the work. Now. it will soon be
seen who favors peace, and who wishes
TO keep mp strife. No man who has the
good of his State at heart can oppose the
Recommendations of this conference.
zLet both factions 90 into The Constitu-
tional Convention with equal representa-
sfion, and each will share che RESPONSE
sbility of the great work before them.
;Thi4 plan, we believe, is The only ono
thatMill bring peace and unity. and the
opportunity Of getting together is proba-
bly, the beat the TWO factions will ever
have. There is no principle to be sacri-
iced In this arrangement by either fac
,tion. The committees to be appointed In
the Counties have most important
work before shem, and they should ar
1anse-es early as possible to see ifthe
plan proposed by the conference Il ac-
.oeptable to the people. There should and
must be some understanding or agree
ment between the factions in each County
at once. It will not do to put it off until
q few weeks before the election takes
place. We believe the majority of the
Intelligent white voters Of the State will
endorse the recommendations Of the
sFortyD conference.

The New Peace.

The RefOrmers and conservatives VINO
promoted the holding of yesterdays State
conference can surely look back at their
work with qualification, for they have
inaueurated 8 new epoch iu South Caro-
lima. The sembling Of such body Of
men, representing elements 30 lately
hostile; their frank and friendly inter-
course; their obvious determination to
make an adjustment of their differences !;
and their final agreement upon liberal
basis Of union makes the future OF the
State fairer to the prospect than it has
looked for decade. Whatever else has
been accomplished, it has been proved
that our people can como together, and
that great many of them intend to come
together. ,. = ~ -o.,o,t,.,,
liberty; in all things, charity" This,
we think, fitly epitomizes the conclu.
sions Of the Convention. We cannot say
that in every detail the agreement which
was made meets our views, but we are
willing to do our part in the concession,
recognizing the manifest purpose Of the
Reformers represented in the conference
to carry out in a liberal spirit the plan
which was adopted.
The essentials Of agreement, as we un-
dsrstand them, are white su. remacy and
an nO06HLly l0SulatoG Suffrage odo
equality in the Convention. These have
been declared with great distinotness,
and upon them the conference was prac-
tically unit.
: The non-sssentialr in an agreement Of
this sort are the details by which these
ends may be reached, and a. to them
there is liberty. The people will them
selves declare how they are to be attained.
The spirit in which this compact is to
be carried out is one of tolerance and for
bearance-the true charity Of thought.
{ We cannot doubt that the work OF the
conference will meet the approval of the
people. The delegates were elected in
open mass meetings to which all good
citizens were invited, and were chosen in
each case with unanimity. They must
have represented their people, or 10 con-
siderable an element Of the people as to
make their unanimous conclusions carry
weight with the masses. The compact
they have made In 80 broad and so fair
that to believe 1t will not meet with the
appreciation Of the people is to believe
that the people desire strife and unfair
ness. We cannot bolieve this after the
assurances which como from all quarters
of their desire for an honorable peace.
So we hope that what has been done
will be confirmed by the white men OF
South Carolina, and that the spirit In
which it was done will prevail through
out the State.-Columa5ia State.

dering.
The Conservatives yielded points for
the sake OF peace. In the same good
cause the Reformers offered compromises.
The action Of the "Forty' Convention
was near enough to the action Of the con-
ference to command the support Of all
the parties to that conference. Even
John Gary Evans accepted the work of
the Convention as endorsement of the
conference. But Tillman makes q pre-
text ard orawls.
It ID q missrably roor pretext. The
"Forty" Convention left the exaction of
pledges to the people. 1t thought the
conference had gone too far in trying to
make in advance of the action Of the peo
pie pledges for candidates for the Con-
7ention to swallow. It left the people
clear and free to demand such pledges as
their wisdom may decree to be neces-
sary.
Senator Tillman is not willing to trust
the people to take care Of themselves.
He assumes to be their guardian and
boss. IF things are not exactly as he die
tates he proposes to make trouble.
All right. It seems we are to have q
fight after all, hard as good men on both
sides have tried to preventit. twill not
