Murder VIII Out.

PARIS, Jan. 28.-In the court OF AS
sizes at Draguigana, Department OF
War, Victor Robello has been sent
enced to Imprisonment with labor for
life for the murder of Able Garbriel
Segui, in Old Compton street, Paris,
in October, 1894. Segui belonged to a
rich and influential family in the Ar.
gentine Republic. He was found dead
in his bed at the period above named
in a private hotel hanging from the
pedpost by silk handkerchief, which
had been tied tightly around his neck;
Nobody then knew who he was, but
on the table in the room was found
this note:
Dear Sir: Do not accuse anybody OF
my death. am finished with life. l
am disguised with my family. do
not require any noise after my death.
I have no papers. I do not wish any
body to know the other motives.
Once more keep silent, so as not to
have any scandal. May God bless
you. Louis CAsEREs.
"I am a native of Peru"
It was concluded that the dead man
was Caseres and that he had in fact
committed suicide, until few days
afterwards, when the officers of the
Argentine Legation, Segui having
been chief chaplain in the Argentine
army, identified the dead man and
told the police his proper name.
They also said that they have rea,
son to believe that there had been foul
play. 1t was found that an unidentified
man had forged Segui's signature to a
draft for 400 pounds and had obtained
the money from bank in Havre. 1t
was, however, months afterwards be,
fore he was arrested at Toulon for
taking part in brawl. He was per-
sonating Gabriel Segui at the time and
has been proved to have been Seguis S
murderer. The police have succeeded
in proving that Robello was formerly
servant in Able Segui's employ and
that after numbering Segui he appro-
priated his documents to use in furth.
ering his plan of passing as Segul
himself.

buster. They think she was a boat
bought by the Captain junta to throw
the Spanish off the track of the real
filibuster, which will soon be heard
from at distant point of Cuba.
A batch of 25 of the rescued men
arrived late tonight on a train from
Boston. Among them was Antonio
Maria Cerena, who is a brother OF a
lawyer in this city. He estimated the
loss of men at from six to nine. he
could not give any of their names.
The final gathering OF the hl!busters
was in a marbleyard in Port Morris,
at 13Sth street dock, late Saturday
night. Gen. Garcia, his son and ITO
other Cubans who had enlisted for the
expedition met in the yard, and the
Hawkins tied up at this dock. linen
it was found that there were more vol
unteers than the steamboat could car
ry. It was impossible to take more
than 12O, Captain Hall said, and it
was necessary to single out 30 men.
This announcement was made after
two men had deserted and had been
chased away in the darkness: After
the chosen band had been sifted and
the 12O had got aboard, the Hawkins
steamed away for the sound. The
arms of the boat consisted of two
Hotchkiss rapid-fring guns, 1000
Remington and Winchester rifles and
some revolvers. There was plenty OF
ammunition for the Hotchkiss guns
and ], 1000, 900 cartridges for the rifles.
Gen. Garcia also had taken along
5000 pounds of dynamite and mate
rials for making heavy explosives.

Quick Work Of q Mob.

BLUEFIELDs, W. Va, Jan. 2s.-Alex
Jones, a negro desperate OF Elkhorn,
boarded a westbound passenger train
last night at Key Stone, evidently tor
the purpose of having trouble. He
was under the influence of liquor and
was very boisterous. He abused the
conductor and refused to pay his fare.
Jones pulled two revolvers and COM
menced firing at random through
the car, which was crowded with peo-
pie, emptying both weapons. After
the shooting it was discovered that w.
H. Strother, postmaster at Elkhorn,
was shot through the abdomen, caus-
ing death almost instantly. Conduct
or Mccullough was shot in the side,
but not seriously wounded. Peter
Rice, a colored miner, was shot
through the right breast and will prob,
ably die. Jones was arrested and
placed on the 2 o'clock train for Hunt
ingdon. While passing Hemphlll,
the train was tagged by a mob OF 5o
men, who took Jones from the train
and hanged him to a tree and shot his
BODY full of lead.

A Hustling Concern.

One of the most enterprising and
hustling firms in Columbia is that of
Richard & Mixson, dealers in bicycles
and general repairers and plumbers.
They are now building an addition to
their store, being too crowded in the
one they occupy, which they will use
as an enameling and plumbing shop.
They now manufacture q bicycle
which they call the palmetto" It
sells for $S5, and they claim that it is
as good as any wheel manufactured at
no matter what price. They thorough
ly guarantee it to be free from imrer-
fections in material and workmanship
and will make guod any defective
parts within cne year after date of
sale.
With Is years experience as a me-
chanic- and the greater part OF that
time devoted to bicycles Richard
certainly ought to know how to build
a wheel that will meet all the require
ments of the roads in the South. Mr..
Richard built and owned one of the
first bicycles used in Columbia. It
was one of the old style "high wheels
and was built IL years ago, when bi-
cycles were just becoming known in
this part of the country.
Mr.. Nixon is rider of considerable
note, having won many races in the
past three years, and his friends claim
that he is the fastest in the South, al
though the southern championship is
rightfully held by Geo. N. Adams of
Jacksonville, Fla.
Being prepared to build bicycles,
Richard & Mixson are of course fully
equipped for repairing, and make this
branch of their trade specially, re-
ceiving work from all over the State,
as well as Georgia and North Carroll
ma. They are both hustlers, and, al
though this is not the bicycle season,
they are doing better now than ever
before. ,
Visitors to their store are received
cordially and treated well. You will
do well to pay them visit State.

Metropolitan Police for Charleston.
Charleston is to have metropolitan

Charleston is to have metropolitan
police. Governor Evans took the first
step in that direction yesterday, when
he appointed Messrs. j. M. Eason, L.
Is. Wilbur and Edward Anderson,
police commissioners of the city.
1t has been expected for some time
that this action would be taken and
when it was announced yesterday
morning that the commissioners had
been appointed, little surprise was
created, although the matter WIS
pretty generally talked about. 1t is
learned that the Governor finally came
to definite conclusion in the matter
Monday night and selected his ap-
pointees. He had nothing special to
say on the subject yesterday further
than to announce, the appointments
and to state that the commissioners
would assume their duties at once. 1t
is understood that these gentlemen
will accept.
Members of the Legislature gen
orally commented on the action of the
Governor, and as whole, it was ap-
proved, though naturally there was
not unanimous approval. The
Charleston delegation, of course,
thought it was all wrong, but they
were not inclined to talk much about
ID.
A great many members expect re-
sistance to be made on the part OF the
city-that is in a legal way-and what
action will be taken there will be
awaited with interest. The appolntees
are all young men. Messrs. Eason
and Wilbur are merchants and Gen.
Edward Anderson is well known
throughout the State, especially IN
military affairs. The commissioners
are good business men and stand we'll
in Charleston. They have all been
identified with the Reform faction IN
city politics. :,
Now that the ice has been broken it
would not be surprising if other towns
will also have police commissioners
appointed. Indeed it was stated yes
terday thst Greenwood would be the
next and that very soon. The rumor
could not be traced, however, to au-
thentic sources.-Columbia Register.

Fatal Family Quarrel.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Jan. 27-ln a
family quarrel at Kyle today, Mrs.
Lizzie Savage was shot and killed by
Thomas Burns, her stepson. After
the shooting Burns went to the barn
and fired a bullet through his left
breast, causing instant death: AS soon
as his wife saw the lifeless body, she
tainted and, after being revived, went
to the house and took poison. 1t was
with great difficulty that her life was
saved. Her mind is thought to have
been deranged.
