BARCELONA, June 9.-This city Is

sion of a bomb Sunday night, by
which IL persons were killed and
about 30 injured. The explosion was
the work OF anarchists. 1t was about
9 o'clock Sunday that religious pro-
cession was passing through the streets:
The captain general ofthe province OF
Barcelona acted us standardbearer IN
the procession. while the civil COVER

the anarchists meant to kill these otfi,

Yesterday an angry mob gathered
around that building and demanded
the summary punishment of every

DR.. Bates has received the following
letter from the president Of the Balti-
more Trust and Guarantee Company,
the former mayor OF Baltimore:
Baltimore, June 9, 1896.
Hon. W. T.. G. Bates, State Treasurer,
Columbia, S. G.
Dear Sir: I understand that some
question has arisen as to the propriety
of your having accepted compensation
from the syndicate which purchased
South Carolina bonds il 1898, and We
think it no more than fair to state that
under the rigorous terms imposed by
your then governor, the Hon. Ben.
r. Tllman, it would have been ex-
ceedinglv difficult to have carried out
the terms of purchase without the con-
slant presence in Columbia Of some
competent and trustworthy person
charged with the duty of performing
the various acts of necessary clerical
labor which were necessarily requ4r-
ed. It was not convenient for this
company, as the agent of the syndicate,
to have such a representative conln-
ually on the spot, and you were asked
to SO act, and the compensation paid
you was only fair, and said payment
came from the syndicate alone, and in
nowise, even remotely, affected the
interests Of your State nor the interest
OF the most Insignificant of your tax
payers. The payment for your servic.
es was made upon the volition and by
the sanction of the executive COM
mittee of the syndicate, it was entirely
proper ard the engagement Of your
self in such capacity really proved to
be safeguard to your people because,
in the execution OF the clerical duties
which the syndicate required you in
variabiy manifested an unalterable
zeal for the protection of the interests
of your State, and in the exercise OF
this quality, we think, you often i'm
posed upon the syndicate conditions
which would have been quite unnec-
essary in the conduct of any matters
pertaining to private business. These
conditions, however, were accepted IN
a cordial spirit, because we thought we
recognized in you an officer whose
crowning ambition appeared to be di-
rected only in the channel of exercis-
ing every scruple of prudence in the
conservation of the duties involved by
his official capacity.
Yours respectfully,
ROBERT G. DAVIDSON,
President.

my lot has been cast among the
South young men, whether where
the balmY breeZess Of Mississippi re-
fresh brave and generous people, or
where Virginia's blue mountains
stand as silent sentinels over the
graves Of sages and patriots, or wheth-
er on the sacred soil of our own Caro-
lima, the home of a proud and impul-
sive people, from every quarter of our
Southland I have heard the same
sweet song of thankfulness and praise
that our fathers
Were ever warriors trie.l and true,
Who bore the flag OF a nation trust,
And fell in q cause though lost, still just,
An died for me and you.
Nor is this spirit OF surviving justice
confined within the borders of our
Southland. God be praised that
throughout the length and breadth OF
our glorious republic are appearing
the blight streamers of golden light
betokening the coming of that golden
day when as brothers once again IN
full affection, true men of every cline
shall accord to Southern soldiers that
full justice which the passions of an
hour have hitherto denied them.
Know we'll then that though the short
span of our days may not witness this
acknowledgement Of right, yet III the
fulness of time your justification must
surely come. Ia the search for truth
by the paltry processes of human logic
we blunder and err. stumble and fall
as we erope through the binding
mists of prejudice and passion. But
we are promised a day 10 the which
we shall not see as III glass darkly,
but when We shall see face to face.
And in that great day when the great
searcher of hearts shall lay bare the
secrets of the human bosom, when
the motives of men shall stand forth
manifest in the transcendent light of
divine truth, then | b-lieve the peer.
less prince of our people shall stand
with his legions in gray acquitted of
all evil intent before the judgment
bar OF eternal justice. Yours then it
is, my venerable countrymen, to abide
in peaceful faith the coming OF that
great day.

CONFESSION SAVED HIM
Another Man Guilty Of the Crime
for Which He Was to Die
INVITATIONS WERE SENT OUT
Have Been ElectIocuted-A
Respite.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 5.-The climax of
one of the most dramatic and sensation
al criminal incidents of the states his
tory was made public today, when,
just As hours prior to the execution of
the death sentence upon Bartholomew
Shea, another man confessed to the
murder, and Shea steps from beneath
the shadow of death thrown by the
electric chair.
The invitations for the electric killing
of Shea had been issued, the state cleo
trician was already on the ground at
Dannemora prison, the governor had
decided on Saturday not to interfere
in the carrying out of the sentence in
the institution, when a comrade of
Shea's in the election outrages when
the tragedy occurred, confessed to the
crime.
The man who voluntarily confesses
to the crime, and who practically steps
from the prison chair of the menacing
shadow of an electric death is John
McGough, of Troy, now serving a sent
ence of 10 years and six months for
shooting and attempting 70 kill Will
liam Ross, brother of Robert Ross,
who was supposed to be Shea's vic
tim.
In some way, known only to the con-
victs, McGough contrived to keep in
formed as to the success or failure
of the applications for commuta tion
made in behalf of Shea
When Shea was re-sentenced to die
December 23. it is believed McGough
was ready to confess, but when he
learned that a respite had been granted,
he withheld the confession. After the
holidays he learned that the efforts to
obtain communication for Shea had not
ceased, and so he made no sign
On Saturday. when Warden Thayer
was made aware that the governor
would not interfere, and arrangements
were made for the execution, McGough
sent for the warden of the prison, Wal
ter N. Thayer, and told him he wished
to make statement concerning the
murder of Robert Ross.
The warden had McGough taken to
the office, and handing him a pen and
paper told him to put down what he
had to say in writing.
McGough wrote a communication of
about two pages, and signing it with
| his full name, handed it to the war
| den.
! To the surprise of the warden and
| his deputies, the paper contained a de-
| cided statement that he (McGough) and
| not Shea had shot and killed Robert
Ross.
| The statement contained no details
of the shooting other than the bold con-
| fesson of the act.
After learning the facts in the case
Governor Morton decided to grant a re-
spite for four weeks, during which
time counsel could take the proper
means to bring the matter before the
| courts for a new trial
The confession of McGough viii
bring to mind the tragic series oi
events that led up to the present dram

in Troy over the matter can be obtained

NAUGHTY Or. BsowN WAS RlLeO
The san Francisco Clergyman Was Tor
mented BY Opposing Attorneys.

San Francisco, Jan. 4.--The prelim-
mary examination Of Mrs. Mary A.
Davidson on the charge of eXtorting
$500 from Rev. c. O. Brown pastor Of
the First Congregational church, was
resumed today in the police court. The
room was crowded with church work
ers and friends of the principals in the
case. DR.. Brown testified on cross
examination that he did not know Mrs.
Baddin and did not know whether any
part of the $500 went to Mrs. Baddin,
but said the ostensible object in paying
money was to silence Mrs. Baddin's
tongue. The police detective. who ar
rested Mrs Davidson, testified that
Mrs. Davidson had admitted receiving
moneys, also that she had signed a re-
ceipt admitted in evidence. The de-
fendant had explained to Detective Sey-
mour that the receipt was for the pur-
pose of preventing the Baddin woman
from worrying DIR. Brown.
The prosecution here announced its
testimony closed and the defense asked
the charge be dismissed, claiming
money had been paid to Mrs Davidson
for Mrs. Baddin and that defendant, in
stead of being a blackmailer, had acted
as the pastors friend and agent. The
motion for dismissal of the charge was
denied.
DIR. BROWN ON THE STAND.
DR.. Brown was again on the stand
when the afternoon session of the po-
lice court examination of Mrs. Davidson
was commenced. The attorney for the
defense asked the witness long list
of questions relating to his intimacy
with Miss OVerman and inquiring as
to his guilt On the instruction of his
attornew Brown refused to answer all
questions bearing on his guilt or in
nocence of his alleged intrigue and the
court sustained the prosecution's OBJ
jections to the character of the cross
examination.
The minister was tortured and goad-
ed by the defense and was finally asked
if he had not confessed to giving both
to Miss Overman and TO his wife drug
to produce miscarriage. DR.. Brown
could not contain himself at this and
sprang at Mrs. Davidson's attorney
shouting: you are an Infamous man
1t is lie"
The clergyman's attorney said nc
would knock the attorney for the de-
fense down If he was i'm his Crowns
place, but the officers of the court in
terfered to prevent violence between
| the excited opponents.
Brown will not preach tomorrow. his
pulpit being occupied during the trial

among the members of his church is

ister now than when the first reports

MoNTANA's GREAT cATTLelN0usTRY
Brought Eleven Million Dollars Into the
State in 1895.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 4.-The year 1895
was the greatest cattle year that Mon
tana has had, so far as the total re-
ceipts from their sale are concerned.
The revised figures of the business done
during the year, prepared in the office
of the Montana board and stock com
missioners, given out today, give the
total receipts at $11,302, $50 This ex-
ceeds the next highest year, 1894, by
nearly $1,000,000. The secretary of the
board has handled during the year on
account of strays $179, ,721-that is, there
has passed through his hands as re-
ceipts for cattle shipped by others than
owners that amount of money, which
he has sent to the people to whom it be-
longed.
The report says: 1--WE find after care
full computation that the average price
for the year was a trifle over $36 per
head. Thus it will be seen that the cat
tie industry alone has brought more
than $11,0OO,0OO into Montana during
1896"
The report of the state veterinarian
shows there was brought into Montana
in 1895 10000 head of cattle. During
the year the inspectors found 24,S45
strays, representing a value of almost
ST. 600, 900, Nearly 5000 of the number
were RENTED to the owners through
the Stock Growers Association, the pro-
ceeds aggregating $179,721,
Referring to the new bounty law, the
report says it Is the most beneficial law
for the protection of stock interests ever
enacted in Montana and it has saved
stockmen many thousands of dollars.
Wolves are fast disappearing and on
some slopes are becoming scarce. The
report says it is a question of but few
years when the wolves will be almost
wiped out.
During the year there were recorded
in the office of the secretary $50 brands.
