Sad Death of Mrs. T. III. Baldwin.
About 2 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing, May 20, 1897, Mrs. Peterson,
housekeeper for Mrs. T. H. Baldwin,
was awakened by screams of agony
from down stairs. Rushing down
stairs she found Mrs. Baldwin with
her clothing in flames and an over
turned lamp lying unbroken near the
foot of the stairs. With rare pres
ence Of mind she extinguished the
flames and called in medical aid
promptly, but Mrs. Baldwin was so
terribly burned that she died in a few
hours. Although conscious, she could
not tell how the accident happened,
and one can only surmise how she
missed her footing, or her hold upon
the fatal lamp. 1t was very sad and
causes feeling of deep gloom in this

white boy was brutally murdered by a
negro, and the murderer burned to
death by an infuriated mob of white
farmers near here last Thursday.
During the fall a party of farmers
have been fishing on Thorry Grove
Beach, near Little River, N. c. On
Monday, November 18th, one of the
farmers boys by the name of Stevens
left Cor his home on the Waccamaw
River with an OK cart, carrying pack
age of money. The father of Stevens
went home, but found that nothing had
been heard of his son since he had left
the beach.
1t was learned that a negro man
named Nathan Willis had borrowed a
gun and left the beach shortly after
Stevens son had departed for his home
posse was organized by the Sheriff,
and Willis was traced about thirty
miles to Town Greek. n. c., where he
was found on last Wednesday, having
in his possession Stevens OK, cart and a
hat full of shot holes. He was carried
by the Sheriff and posse on Thanks

where he was chained between two box
faced pines. Light wood was piled
around him and he was burned to

A SAN JOSE MYSTERY.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Lynch a
Man on Friday Night.

SAN JOSE, Nov 27.-About five
years ago the body Of Henry Planz was
found hanging to a tree. The man
had been dead for hours, and from
that day to this his death remains
mystery. 1t was clearly not suicide.
His hanging is brought to mind by an
experience which Emile Swanson had
last night.
The young man, who is about ~
years of age, was returning to his home
on San Carlos street, near Josefa, about
1870 o'clock, having attended the the
alter. When almost home two men
sprang from behind a tree. and be-
fore Swanson knew what was intended
they threw a rope over his head and
around his neck. When this was done
the men began to tighten on the rope.
Swanson realized his danger, and with
great presence of mind drew his knife
from his pocket and cut the long end
OF the rope, which was of the charac-
ter usually employed in hay bailing.
Swanson then ran at his best speed,
and. did not stop until safe at home.
Swanson has an abrasion of the skin
around all the left half of his neck to-
day. where the rope cut him. Other
wise he is none the worse because of
his adventure. He is totally unable 10
account for the attack. He says he
has no enemies that he knows OF, and
cannot see how he could have been
attacked for the purpose of robbery,
as he is not a man of means, and works
on a salary at Nelson & Lindaus' poul-
try depot. He thinks he may have been
intended for second Planz.

SEAL CONFERENCE.
Sir Louis Davies of Toronto
Speaks on the Subject.

TORONTO( Ont), Nov 27-Sir Louis
Fl. Davies, at meeting of Liberals
here last night, referred to his recent
visit to Washington to attend the seal
conference. He said:
THE seal experts settled the uues-
ton of fact in such a way that here
after it cannot be opened up. We know
exactly where we are. We know that
the seal herd has diminished in an ex-
traordinary degree in late years, but
We know that pelagic sealing has di-
minished more than the herd and by
far greater percentage. We know,
too, as a declaration of the experts of
both countries, that there is no imme-
date danger of the extinction of the
herd, and that the kind of pelagic seal
ing practiced by Canadian fishermen
does not imperil or threaten the exist
ence Of the herd, and we know further
that as a commercial venture, it does
not pay either country That is about
the sum and substance of the case
Continuing, Sir Louis said that it was
pointed out to the American that Can
ada had taken her stand in reference
to her tariff; had proclaimed and given
effect to a preferential trade arrange

could not enter into any agreement
which should directly or indirectly pref

being a national right, vindicated by
the great Paris tribunal as legitimate te
industry on the part of British sub
jects, could not be disposed of for a
mere money consideration; that Canada
did not sell national rights for money;
but that her representatives were will
ing that it should be treated as one of
a number of those large questions and
put, as it were, in the hodge podge in
the settlement. If the United States
could see their way clear to admit our
lumber, to make coal reciprocally free
on both sides, to make fish, salt and
fresh, free, such articles as barley,
eggs, potatoes and other things of that
kind. an arrangement might be made
which would be mutually profitable
and satisfactory to both countries.
Sir Wilfred Laurier had not surren-
dered one iota of the Canadian rights or
Canadian privileges.

THEODORE DURRANT.
His Case Again Comes Before the
Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2l.-Theo-
dore Durrant's attorneys appeared in
the Supreme Court to-day to argue IN
support of their petition for writ or
mandate. whereby they seek to compel
Judge Bahrs of the Superior Court to set
a day for the trial of the case wherein
Durrant is charged with the murder of
Minnie Williams.
The petition contains the usual ale
cations of the arrest of Durrant and the
fact that he was held for trial by COM
mitting magistrate; that an lnforma-
tion against him was filed by the Dis
trict Attorney; that he was not guilty
and that no trial of the issue thus raised
has been had, although the defendant
had made a demand as provided by law
for a trial at the earliest possible day.
Durrant asks for an alternative writ
to compel Judge Bahrs to set a day Tor
the trial or to show cause why he does
not do so.
Assistant Attorney General Garter
said to-day that he has transmitted to
District Attorney Barnes the message
recently received from Attorney-Gen-
eral Fitzgerald, and that the office or the
Attorney General will have officially
nothing more to do with the Durrant
case until after the prisoner IS re-sen-
fenced, unless requested to appear IN pc
half of the prosecution.

SEATTLE, Nov. 27.-The United
States revenue cutter Bear sailed to-
night, carrying succor to the whaling
fleet imprisoned in the icy Businesses
of the Arctic Ocean on the northern
shore of Alaska, between Point Bar
row and Herschell Island The Bear
will make a short stop at Port Town
send, where her crew will be paid off,
after which she will proceed to Una
laska.
From there her next stopping place
is uncertain, depending upon the extent
to which Behring Sea is closed by ice.
Captain Tuttle will, however, go as far
north as possible in his endeavor to
reach Sledge Island, which is fifty
miles south of Port Clarence. and five
or six miles off the mainland. 1t will
be easy to cross from there over the
ice to Point Rodney.
The chances of getting to Sledge ISL
and lies in the fact that it is in the
lee Of Point Rodney, which sweeps off
the ice, carried down by the north wind
making a sheltered stretch of water.
From Sledge Island the party that is
to proceed overland to Point Barrow
and under the leadership of Lieutenant
Jarvis will cross over to Point Rodney.
From here the party will go to Port
Clarence, where there is band Of
reindeer.
The start proper will be made here,
for no matter where the Bear lands, the
overland party will have to go to Port
Clarence for deer. The length of the
overland journey will depend. on the
starting point. At the best it will be in
the neighborhood of 1000 miles. The
shore line will be followed closely all
the way to Point Barrow.
Having landed the overland party
the Bear will go into winter quarters at
the nearest place of shelter.
In the event that the Bear cannot
reach Sledge Island Captain Tuttle said
there was a point he knew of from
which Re could land the overland ex-
pedition he thought. He would not tell
where this spot was, for the reason that
he might also fail to reach it, The
Bear goes provisioned for one year.
Captain Tuttle and his officers are
very hopeful Of the success of their
mission
