CHILL1coTHE, o., Oct. 27.-Cahte-
rine Cushenberry, a colored woman,
died here today at the age of 116 years.
Sue was born in Fauquier county,
Va, in 1880, and the records of the
county show that in 1892, at the age
of IL years, she was purchased by a
man named Craigen, living near
Moorefeld, in what is now West Vir-
ginia. She passed through a number
of hands after that, until 1862, at
which time she was the property of
Mrs. Sarah Dyer, of Pendleton coun-
ty, w. Va. Previous to that time
she had twelve children, and one Of
them, George Herbert, had purchased
his freedom and moved to this city.
In 1862, after long search, he located
his mother in Pendleton county and
purchased her freedom for $125. She
has lived in this city ever since with
two of her sons. The whereabouts OF
all her other children are utterly un-
known. She has been entirely blind
for thirty years, but has retained her
mental faculties to remarkable de-
gre up to within the past three months.
She was considered in many ways to
be the most remarkable character liv-
ing in this CITY.

A Tbonsand Dollars Behind.

GREENvILLE, S. c., Oct. 2S.-Since
the "taking of stock" by local
Board of Control in the West End
Dispensary few weeks ago, the ques-
ton of shortage on the part OF former
Dispenser r. F. G.. Holtzclaw has been
a matter of speculation, and your cor
respondent was for the first time today
able to get anything like definite
idea of the amount of the discrepancy.
The Board has found him between ST.
600 and 81, 500 short. Dispenser Holtz.
claw has employed counsel and will
fight the decision to the bitter end. In
| this connection it is also stated that
the Baltimore Banking and Trust Com.
pany, which bonded Mr.. Holtzclaw
will refuse to pay the shortage to the
State and fight the matter in the courts
upon the ground that the provision in
their bond saying that they shall at
once be notified of the first shortage was
violated by the State authorities when
in July the grand jury found the Dis.
penser some 800 short and no report
of this made to the company. A MEM
ber of the Board admitted to reporter
for The Register that the company had
not been notified of this finding, but
claimed the bond was good for every
dollar of the shortage. RY Hellams Of
the Board said this afternoon he knew
the exact amount the Board had found
Mr.. Holtzclaw short, but did not care
to give this information out for pub
lication. When a guess OF 81, 500 was
made, Mr.. Helams said this was too
much, but when the guess was reduced
to 81, 900 Mr.. Iellams would not an
swer.
Dispenser Holtzclaw was seen an
hour later and was equally reticent.
81 know that the Board has found
one," he said, but I do not care to
say anything for publication"
"But you will admit it is about ST.,
0002" was asked.
"Oh! yes, it is above that" he re-
piled, as if off his guard, and recov-
ering himself refused to say more or
give the exact figures.
lie thinks the Board had made a
grievous error and contend he is not
dollar short, and believes when the
Board makes another investigation,
which he says will be done shortly,
that it will be found he is right.

CT Charles O. Kaiser. Jr., was shot
down as she rode along with her hus-
band, who an hour later was receiving
the coincidence of friends, but who to-
day stands accused OF crime. From
inmates of the boarding house where
the couple lived it was learned that
Kaiser and his wife carried a joint in.
surance of $40, 900 on their lives, the
policies being so written that the death
of either would make the other the
beneficiary; and that several weeks
ago Kaiser and his wife each executed

Killed in q Bull Fight.

NoAGLEs, Ariz., Oct. pa bull
fight with fatal results occurred al
Noagles, Sonora, yesterday, and for a
short time caused a panic in the audi,
ence. One of the bulls, becoming
more enraged than usual at the rather
tame fight, rushed about the arena, gor.
ing everything within its reach. A
horse was disemboweled. A picadore,
Jos Anguelo, in an attempt to place
the animal under control, was caught
on one Of the animals long horns,
which pierced him like sword. He
was tossed and fell to the ground,
bleeding and mangled where the beast
impaled him with his horns, bit and
paved him. lie was frightfully in
jured and died few minutes later.
There was intense excitement in the
audience, and at one time it was on the
verge of panic, but was quieted by the
killing of the bull.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Oct. 27.-At a cost
of probably two lives, four masked
robbers stole IS, 900 from Mr.. and Mrs.
Anthony Monaghan in the mining
village of Rappahannock, one mile
from Girardyille. The heads of Mr.
and Mrs. Monaghan were crushed
with sandbags. They are in a critical
condition. Parties of men are scour-
ing the mountains on each side Of the
village in search of the robbers. The
Monaghans are the owners OF the
Rappahannock coal company. The
burglars gained entrance by climbing
to the roof and forcing the second
story shutters with jimmies, and then
making their way te the room where
the old couple slept. There the assault
y:as made and the money secured.

who shall reside therein, to be elected
by the qualified electors of the Circuit,
who shall hold his office for term OF
four years." etc. Section "a, Art. a OF
the new Constitution, under the head
of the executive department, names
the other State officers to be elected
by the electors Of the State, to wit:
Secretary of State, Comptroller Gen
eral. Attorney General, Treasurer,
AID utant and Inspector General and
Superintsndent of Education and there
are other state officers" who are to
enter upon the performance OF the du-
ties of their Offices at the time OF the
inauguration Of the Governor elected
in 1896. The provision for the cleo
ton of Solicitor is found under the
head Of judicial department in the
Constitution. Under the old Constitu-
ton the Solicitors were elected for
four years and not to hold until their
successors wore elected and qualified .
The new Constitution provides that
they shall hold with all other officers.
until their terms have expired and
their successors have been elected and
qualified. In sub, division 6. Art. IL,
Sec. III, Solicitors elected in 1896, as
soon as officially notified by the Secre'
retary of State, can qualify, and when
they do are entitled to enter upon the
discharge of the duties of their Offices,
in the absence of any provision in the
new Constitution fixing such time. It
may be said that Solicitor is a State
officers by reason of his connection
with the Attorney Generals office, but
in subdivision 6, Sec. 10, Art. II, of
new Constitution, he is scaled a Circuit
officer and not State officer.
I am of the opinion that the Solici-
tors cannot be classed with other State
officers in Section 3, Article 4, of the
new Constitution as to the time of en-
tering upon the discharge. of the duties
of their office, and that those elected
in 1896, are entitled to enter upon the
duties of their offices as soon as quail
fed by the official notification OF their
election by the Secretary OF State.

tors, il shall be conclusive, and shall
govern in the counting Of the elector-
al vote.
Mention has been made of the close
contest of 1876, when the Republican
was seated by one majority of the cleo.
toral votes. Other elections were very
much more one.sided, and most noted
instance was in 1920, when James
Madison received 231 electoral votes
and John Quincy Adams was given
but one. That was, however, a rare
occurrence following a campaign that
was practically no contest.
General Winfield Scott, when pitted
against franklin Pierce in 1852, car
ried but four States, and received for
ty-two electoral votes as against 254
for his competitor. The States which
that year went for General Scott were
Rhode Island, Vermont, Kentucky
and Tennessee.
This was the next election after the
successful termination of the Ameri-
can military campaign against Mexico
in which General Scott was promin.
ent figure. and his overwhelming de.
feat was painful surprise to him and
his friends.
Twelve years prior to that event
General William Henry Harrison de-
feated Martin Van Buren, by an elec'
toral vote of 234 to 60.
President Lincoln's majority in 1860
was 81, his total vote being 1S0. But
when he made his second race against
General George B. Mcclellan, he
came close to getting the whole electo-
raj vote. Mcclellan carried but three
States, New Jersey, Delaware and
Kentucky, which gave him an aggre-
gate of but 81 votes, as against 2l2 for
the Republican candidate.
General Grants first campaign,
which was waged with Horatio Sey-
mour, of New York, resulted in his
favor by vote of 214 to 80. Seymour
carried but seven States, but with
these went New York, and much to
the surprise of most of the politicians
of that day, Oregon also went Demo
cratic. The other five were New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky
and Louisiana.
Horace Greeley, who distinguished
himself at the head of the New York
Tribune, ran against General Grant
in 1872. Mr.. Greeley died before
Congress passed upon the returns, but
had he lived the vote cast for him
would have been but 63. His ticket
carried Georgia, Missouri. Maryland,
Tennessee, Texas and Kentucky, and
when the electoral vote was polled,
they were divided between B. Gratis
Brown, Thomas A. Hendricks, Charles
j. Jenkins and David avis.-Wash-
