MRS. MARY TORRENT,
Who Departed This Life March II, 1895.
Aged 81 Years.
A native of Baltimore, but for many
years resident of Charleston and Savan-
nah. She was devoted wife, a fond and
loving mother and a friend to be de-
pended on. To the poor and needy she
was every ready to relieve their wants.
She was member of many charitable
societies, to benefit those less fortunate
than herself. And while we sorrow, it is
not as those without hope, for we know
that there remaineth a rest to the people
of God.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tbs God that hast bereft us:
He can all our sorrows heal
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the day of life has fled:
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee.
Where no farewell tear is shed

California wines will cost more this
year than in several years past, according
to the California Wine Makers Corpora
ton. 1t is stated that the vintage of 1895
was only $4,000 gallons of dry wines, red
and white, while in the past few years the
production has been between 100000 and
24000,000 gallons. Some 100000 gallons are
consumed on the Pacific coast, and the eX-
ports have usually been from 100000 to
100000 gallons, of all kinds of wine Last
year only 100000 gallons of sweet wines
were made. making a total vintage for the
year of 12500,000 gallons. There was little
surplus stock carried over from previous
years. From these facts the wine makers
conclude that the supply will be far below
the demand and that high prices and good
times for them will result.

Glddness Comes

\NTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you Dur
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedeve everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

Congressman Curtis's Bill Is
Fa1orably Reported.
1IB. STEVENS is DEAD.
Father Of Councilman Frank
Stevens Of Topeka.
Evidence Shows That He Died
Faithful to cold Glory"

From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington, June "A bill intro
duced by Congressman Curtis, to re-
move the charge of desertion against J.
w. Stevens. has been favorably report
ed by the house committee on military
affairs. Stevens was the father Of
Councilman Frank Stevens Of Topeka
He had his arm shot off ait the battle
or Gaines Nil and died from the enects
Of amputatioa- But as there was no
record in the war department OF his
death he was charged with desertion-
The testimony Of his comrades, how
ever, is TO the effect that he died from
his wound One comrade had his
death chronicled i'm a diary which ne
kept during the entire war.
None of his relatives were ever able
to find any trace of him after the bat
tie and he has never been heard or
since. But Notwithstanding this con-
elusive evidence the war department
refused to remove the charge Of deser-
ton because there was no official rec
ord of his death. They said the evil
dence was hearsay-
The committee, however, thought the
evidence Of his comrades as to his
death and the fact that he had never
come out of the war were conclusive
proof that he died and so recommended
the removal of the stain from his army
record.

Details of the Lynching at Co
lumbus, Ga.
The Mob Breaks Into the Court
Room,
SEEING THE NEGRO,
Hangs Him to a Tree on Broad
Street
Gets Another Negro From the
Jail and Lynches Him.
EIZING THE NEGRO,

Columbus, Ca, June 2.-The follow
ing are the particulars of the double
lynching here, briefly told in yester-
days dispatches:
At 1915 yesterday morning a mob Of
500 armed men broke into the Webster
building during the trial of Jesse Stay
ton, charged with assaulting Mrs. How
ard Bryan last Thursday, and took the
prisoner from the officers. SlaytOn's
trial had already begun behind locked
doors and a heavy armed guard of men
was present to protect the prisoner
from any demonstrations of violence.
The mob forced the doors and with
a reslstless rush swept back the spec
tators and guards, and seized and car
ried the negro out into the street. A
rope was placed around SlaytOn's neck
and he was dragged up Broad street
the crowd shooting at him as they
went along. Near the bell tower they
swung the negro up and perforated
him with bullets.
After this the mob, as coolIy and de-
HDefaIeIy as IN the first instance, went
Immediately to the court house, and,
oNeIpO Werlng the Jallers took Will Miles,
q negro charged with assaulting Mrs
Albright two years ago, and marched
MN slowly to where SlaytOn's lifeless
body was hanging from a tree. The
trembling negro was made to look uDOn
the fate of his brother in crime then
q rope was placed about his neck and
ne was slowly suspended in the air and
his body r1ddled with bullets.
The bodies of the negroes were left
hanging during the afternoon and
surging mass of humanity was packed
around the scene. The greatest ex-
element prevails here, especially among
the negroes, and it is not improbable
that further trouble will ensue.
Mrs Bryan was assaulted at Clapp's
Iactory, four miles from here. early on
Thursday morning. She is a young
woman not over Is years of are. Her
husband had left home for Columbus
about daybreak Shortly after he left
a big negro entered Mrs. Bryan's prf-
vate room and succeeded in assauItine
her She fought with him ferceIy. but
her weak condition rendered her strug-
giles of no avail He succeeded in
carrying out his brutal purpose and left
room.
Regardless of her condition. Mrs.
Bryan rushed to the door and fred two
pistol shots at the negro without avail.
In short time Mr. Bryan returned
and on being apDrised of the crime
rushed Immediately back to Columbus
and with the Sheriff and an armed
posse began to scour the woods for the
negro, who was soon captured

Chattanooga, Tenn. June fudge
d. L. Snodgrass, chief justice Of the

fined $50 for carrying q pistol Last
December the chief justice went gun
ming for Attorney John r. Beasley, who
wrote an article rejecting upon the in

Beasley was shot in the arm when the
pair met. The chief justice was last
week acquitted of the charge Of felon-
iOus assault
Yesterday he pleaded guilty to the
charge of carrying a pistol The case
was by consent submitted to the judg-
ment Of the court. Judge Moon today
handed down his opinion in the case.
lie took the ground that there We're
mitigating circumstances; that he had
been criticised unjustly; that his indig
nation had been naturally aroused, and
that it was natural that he should pre-
pare to defend himself ia the event Of
attack when he demanded an explana-
ton Of the charges made.
The judge therefore believed that the
limit of the law, $50 fine and six months
imprisonment, should not be given, the
fine alone being sufficient.

There are scarcely a handful of mem

noon, Mckinley presented himself at
headquarters and took his place among

The members were delighted to have
him with them and an occasional per
sonal cheer or two went UP along the
line but. on the whole. the man who
within two weeks is likely to be the
presidential nominee, was the least OBJ

Mckinley spent the day very simply

strewn on the grave of their little one
who died nearly a quarter of a century
