death Saturday at his home on
Keowee River in an attempt to
evade arrest. He was an escaped
convict from tho North Carolina
Itpenitentiary, whore no had a term
OF seven years more to servo. He
was also wanted by the United
Statos authorities for violation Of

). }. Lewis had u bench warrant
for his arrest and J. A. Perry, J.
Nj. Morgan, J. A. Bryson and Lem
Jordan, of North Carolina, wanted
to got possession of Chapman, but
1T seems, had no papers authoriz-
ing his arrest by them. An ar
rangement was made for union
OF the two forces and tho capture
of Chapman. They went to his
residence and surrounded it. After
being there for some time, the
wife Of Chapman came out, and
J. j. Lewis told her his business
and reasoned with her about the
matter, but she said that her hus-
band did not caro- for serving the
sentence Of the United States
court but did not intend to go
back to tho North Carolina peni-
tcntiary. She screamed to her
husband to let him know that the
officers we're on the premises. Thon
Lewis and Perry ran to corner of
the house to prevent Chapman's
escape and remained about the
house for nearly an hour talking
to Chapman, who was on the in
side, trying to pursuade him to
surrender. Josiah Chapman, ST.,
camo up in the meantime and also
tried to get his son to submit to
arrest, but left for his homo which
WAS short distance away. Chap
man jumped cut a window near
Deputy Marshal Lewis and fired a
shot at him, who returned the fire
from Il doublc-barrcl shot gun.
The load OF buck shot took effect
IN the hips Of Chapman, Telling
him to tho ground. While on the
ground Chapman lirrd once on
lem } Jorlon, but he dodgcd behind
an ash hopper and escaped the
bullet. Jordan fired load Of buck
shot into the breast Of Chapman,
who died in three minutes after
wards. Magistrate Jenkins, acting
as Coroner, held the inquest Sun
day and Dir. Porter made the post
mortem examination. The family
of Chapman testified at the inquest
that he did not fire at the officers,
but was tying to mako his escape
by flight, whom the officers shot
him down. The inquest was COM
p(cted Monday and the jury re-
turned a verdict that Josiah Chap
man, jr., came to his death from
gun shot wounds inflicted by
the hands of j. J. Lewis and Lem
Jordon, who were IN the discharge
of their duty as officers of the law.

JUDGE BRACE WILL RUN.
He Is a Candidate for denomination
by the Democrats.

JEFFERSON, CRY, Mo-, April 29.-It
is announced authoratively that Chief
Justice Theodore Brace of the Su-
preme Court is a candidate for nomi-
nation by the Democratic party.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear on him and he has consented to
run. If the letters of many of the
most prominent lawyers of the State
are to be taken as a criterion, his
work on the bench has been pre-
eminently satisfactory to the bar as
well as to iitigants.
Before coming to the Supreme
bench in 1887, Judge Brace served on
the Circuit bench in Monroe County
Circuit many years, and was known
as one of the best trial Judges In the
State. He is one of the hardest work
ing members of a court distinguished
for hard work, and many Of his opin-
ions rank high in the legal literature
of the State. Since January l, 1895,
Judge Brace has been Chief Justice of
the court.
Up to this time there is only one
other announced candidate for the
Supreme Court Judgeship, and that is
Judge Henry Ramey of st. Joseph.
Judge Braces announcement tonight
is the latest and most interesting bit
of political news about the State Cap
itol, and il furnishes the theme for
discussion about the hotels.

The Ladies in Politics.


The spectacle of the Republican lady
delegates assembled at Springfield is
one of the signs of the march of time.
Ten years ago State convention of
delegates of the better sex would have
been out of the question. 1t is only in
recent years that the ladies have en-
tered the field as practical politicians
and Springfield affords the first note
worthy manifestation of the move
ment.
And although the new politicians
who left Chicago failed to catch their
special train no one doubts that they
will capture everything in Springfield.
When one of the men politicians is
buttonholed by lady delegate and led
off into corner to a private confer
ence he is bound to give in to all de-
mands. 1t is to be expected, indeed,
that after the Springfield event lady
delegations will be common. The
time may come when the world will
hear OF shameful roorbacks started by
various delegates concerning the age
of certain other delegates. John j.
Ingalls, has asserted that nobody can
touch politics without becoming a
politician. Is there to be an era when
bribery will be accomplished by the
corrupt use of caramels and the dele
gates will vote their pledges away
while drugged with soda water?
Who knows? This is an age OF
bIoomers and advancement.

Vol. XXXVIII.

THE Troy (Mo.) Free Press, refer
ring to the large amount of money
lying idle in the banks of that county,
says: "Nor did any considerable part
of it belong to men who make their
living by lending money. That class
of men keep their money out in loans
all of the time to men who use it in
their business or in improving their
real estate. One other matter in this
connection: Of the deposits in the
banks on April 18th, S36, ,270.72 was
money loaned to the banks by indi
viduals at three or four per cent. in
terest. Does that look like money is
scarce and interest high? Is it not
rather an indication that money is
plentiful and cheap and that it ought
to be easy to get by any one who can
give satisfactory security? Then why
should any one raise cry of "hard
times?" OF course the man who has
raised nothing to sell; the man who
has made no energetic or intelligent
effort to improve his financial condI-
ton; the man who has been both
shiftless and extravagant, and the man
who has no security to offer, all find
money hard to get. Has there ever
been a time when this was not the
case? Will there ever be such a
time?'
