A Human Fiend.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, April 2.-Hun
dreds of persons today visited the Bas-
tian farm, which is under the posses,
sion of Sheriff Hemen way and corps
of deputies. The ~seSSing of the de-
composed crody of John Louderbach
under a pile of rubbish on the farm
yesterday strengthens the general be-
lief that Henry F. Bastian was a hu
man fiend, and that he committed sui.
eide March 13 last because he feared
his criminal record was about to be
laid bare. Following is list of men
who worked upon Bastian's farm and
mysteriously disappeared shortly after
they were paid off and discharged, as
all of them are believed to have been
slain by Bastain: Fred Kuschmann,
whose body was found a month ago
by the road mile from the Bastian
farm; John Louderbach, whose re-
mains were uncovered yesterday, more
than year since he vanished from
sight; Fritz Kiernzen, who has not
been seen or heard from since the
spring of 1894; Marshall Lewis, who
also disappeared in 1894. Bastian tes'
titled at the Kuschmann inquest that
be had paid Kuschmann $79 the night
of his death. From the nature of the
wounds on Kuschmann and Louder.
bach aud the circumstances surround
ing their deaths, Bastian's method ap.
pears to have been designed to avoid
meeting his financial obligations.

Another Advance Made.

The Kelley cure has been introduced
into the St. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Md. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute of
Maryland by which the Kelley treat
ment shall be administered at their hos
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service of
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving so ef-
ficacious the treatment isnow given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues be given
the treatment.
The Kelley Institute of South Caro-
lima continues its good work at Co.
lumbia, and any Information desired
may be had by addressing that insti-
tute or drawer 81.

Spanish Barbarity.

HAVANA, March 31.-Never in mod
ern times has there been more sick
ening spectacle than that which to-day
attended the execution of five Cubans.
The men had been condemned to death
by the garrote as "murderers, viola
tors and incendiaries. Troops were
drawn up in u hollow square and IN
the middle were placed the chair and
post. Ruiz, the public executloner,
had deputized an assistant to Conduct
the affair The condemned men hay'
ing received the offices OF the church,
were brought into the square to meet
their fate. One of them had confessed
his guilt and affirmed the innocence OF
all the others who also protested that
they were guiltless. The first man to
die took his seat in the chair calmly,
the iron core was fixed about his neck
and the cap drawn over his face.
Then the executioner undertook to
apply the screw, but was so excited
that his hand slipped repeatedly, with
the result that that the victim died by
slow strangulation, emitting g the while
the most distressing cries. The second
execution was accomplished with even
more distressing awkwardness and de-
lay, the executioner being almost on
the verge of collapse as he performed
his horrible function. The protests OF
the officers and priests forced Ruiz to
undertake the third execution, but ne
did little better than his assistant had
done. The fourth victim of bungling
garroters was likewise tortured and
then Ruiz literally fled from his post,
leaving his assistants to put to death
the fifth unfortunate Cuban, who es'
capped none of the agonizing experlen,,
ces that had attended the execution OF 81
his fellows. The whole affair has left
upon those who witnessed it and upon
those to whom it has been described, a
feeling of the utmost horror.

To Wreck the CAPITOL.

JACKSON, Miss, April Am at
tempt was made last night to wreck
the State capitol. Alto o'clock while
Secretary of State Power was engaged
in his Office at the capitol, he heard a
noise outside. Going to the window
he saw several men digging; at the
walls. His appearance frightened
away the men and an investigation
showed that two pieces of stone about
two feet square had been removed
from the wall. Had the work gone
on little longer section of the wall
about four by twenty feet would have
fallen, thus wrecking the whole build,
ing. Strenuous efforts were made
during the recent session of the Legis'
lature to provide for a new building,
but nothing was done in the matter,
and it is thought some miscreant.
took this means ofsecuring immediate
action.

Pianos for Winthrop.

In August last five pianos from one
maker and one each from two other
makers were purchased by the Win
throp Normal College of Rock Hill, s.
G., as trial instruments. with the un-
derstanding that if satisfactory others
FROM the same makers were to be add
ed. Time and test does not seem to
prove them entirely satisfactory since
when eight more pianos were needed
they were not chosen from either of
the makes before taken on trial. This
time the selection was made from a
purely musical standpoint by those
qualified to judge the actual merits of
a piano; and, as result the MASON
AND HAMLIN and MATHUsEK we're chos-
en- from some twenty-five competing
makers. We shall be pleased if those
who are thinking of buying pianos
will write the music department of
this college asking how they like the
MASON AND HAMLIN and MATHUsEK
pianos, and why they were chosen
above all others. LUDDEN q BATES,

SPANISH BUTCHERIEs.
Death In q Tenement,

NEW YORK, April Ten persons
perished by suffocation in a Brooklyn
tenement house early today. The
names of the victims are: August
Buno, his wife and two children, Sally
five years old and Johana eighteen
months; Lena Calabia, 18years of age;
Nicola Tralia, 80 years, his daughter,
Lena Tralia, "a years, Dominick, his
son, "a years, and an eight days old
baby; Cornelia Marretti, 26 years
The fire started in the lower hallway
of the building, which is a four.story
tenement in Union street, and before
the sleeping tenants could be warned
of their danger, all escape was cut off.
The flames swept up the stairways and
the halls and rooms were quickly
filled with smoke. Ten of the tenants
were suffocated in their beds. The
section of the city where this terrible
disaster occurred is near the water
front. The majority OF the residents
are Italians of the poorer class and
they form the biggest colony of their
race in Brooklyn. The firemen sue
ceeded in getting the fire under con-
troll after a short time. The damage
to the building is estimated at $4,000.
After the FIRE had been e1tinguised
John Calabria was found unconscious
lying on the fire escape. He had got
ten out of a second story window so
completely exhausted that he could 60
no further. He will recover. His
wife was dead in her apartments.
Subsequently nine other bodies were
found. When he had somewhat raj
lied from the effects of suffocation and
heat, Calabria told the story of how
he escaped and left his wife behind.
In most cases death was due to suffo-
cation. The bodies of the Buno family
who lived on the top floor, were found
huddled together, showing that the
family woke during the fire and made
efforts to escape. Buno's body was
found near the window. The Italian
family were on the floor below. Fire
Chief Dale expresses the opinion that
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
He says that the firemen did not know
that there was anybody in the house
until after the fire had been extinguish.
ed. The chief is not at all impressed
with the story Calabria tells. The lat
ter says he made several attempts to
pet out of the burning building, but
on account of the heat could not. He
finally fell exhausted on the fire es'
cape, from where he was taken by the
firemen. The man was fully dressed
and before he fell on the escape, he was
seen by the fremen on tho roof of the
burning building.

Must Tax BenoficiarieS.

COLUMBIA, s. c., April la meet
ing of the board of visitors of the State
Military academy was held yesterday
morning in the Hotel Jerome. Allof
the members except one were present.
The object of the meeting was to de-
wise the means of running the institu-
ton upon the reduced appropriation
made by the last general assembly tor
the education and maintenance OF the
68 benefciaries in that institution. In
the last annual report of the board OF
visitors to the general assembly, by
an itemized statement OF expenses, 1t
was shown that the cost OF educating
and maintaining this class OF: cadets
required an annual appropriation OF
$20, 10000 and the point was distinctly
urged that if a less appropriation be
made, the beneficiary must necessarily
be required to bear a part of his ex-
penses. From the reopening OF the
institution until last year the annual
appropriation was $50. 900. The appro,
priation the current year, of 12 mouths,
is $1S, ,O00-a difference of $50 per cadet.
After full discussion of the situation
and in view of the fact that every
economy has been practised short OF
imrairing the efficiency of the school,
and doing Justice to the pay cadets
who pay for all they get and whose
parents demand the high grade of edu:
cation for which they pay, the board
felt themselves forced to adopt the
measure of requiring each of the bene
ficiary cadets to contribute $50 of the
amount heretofore allowed on his per
sonal account.-State.
