The County Of Bamberg--Treasurer's
Commissions--The Richland County
Scandal.

At Columbia, upon the presentment
of the grand jury, Judge Aldrich,
issued an order on Treasurer Camp
bell, of Richland county, to show cause,
on the first day of the next term Of
court for that county, why he should
not render an account and pay over the
sum of 81, $50. 05 for balance of polls and
penalties chargeable to him when he
held the Office of county treasurer from
1887 to 1894 inclusive. The Judge
stated in issuing the order that he
thought it would be better to have all
such cases heard when the same grand
Jury and the same presiding Judge were
at Court, but, nevertheless, the return
would have to be made at the next term
under the circumstances.
No order was issued against ex-Audi-
tor Marshall for the reason that the pre-
sentiment against him as to the produc
ton of certain vouchers was made by a
former grand jury. Mr.. Marshall says
that the papers cannot be presented,
for they are not usually kept over a
year. Under the circumstances the So
licitor continued the case and will look.
up the evidence ofthe former jury.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, says:
s'The downfall of Harry A. Cassin, the
defaulting cashier of the Georgia Loan,
Savings and Banking Company, affects
the Hartman Colony Company in Abb
beville county. He was large stock
holder of this colony company and it
is incorporated under the laws Of this
State. The Hartman Company built a
hotel, a. few stores and large number
of houses and then sent agents North to
solicit emigration. They did not sue
ceed very we'll, however, and few
months ago they sent quite number
of representatives to Germany with a
view to securing colonists over there.
At least one large steamship company
in New York was interested in the ven
ture and the prospects, became so prom
ising that Mr.. Cassin put many thou

Helena, Ark, April 1.-The river has

.ue break is now possible.
Anolner lot OF refugees arrived today
from Old Town and below, having been
driven from their homes by inability to
get provisions ior themselves and stock.
Many OF the whites from Modoc, in
tact, the majority OF them, have rented
lands in the uplands and will make at
ledst one crop in territory unvisited by
,ne Mississippi.
A fear now entertained by the large
planters is that the gaps in the leveee
may not be closed in time to avert the
drowning out of crops by the June rise.
rhe Williamson crevasse is now more
than l,200 feet wide, and the Hubbard
and WestOver break more than 1000
each. Owing TO the washing OF soil near
these breaks, new locations will have
60 be selected for the levees or a run
around which will be built close to
them. The duration OF the flood is I'M
certain. II it should go down quickly
there would be time enough TO make
these repairs in the levee, get fences up
rebuild cabins and make other necessary
repairs.

HIGHER THAN ALL RECORDS.

New Orleans, April 1.-THE river
gauge fluctuates between Is and 1872
feet. This brings the record up to one
tenth Of a foot higher than given by any
official data compiled. The river is GER
tainly booming, and in spots the water
washes over the aprons" Of the levees,
making extensive deposits Of mud. The
authorities, however, deny any addi-
tional apprehensions, and are resource
full in combating any inroads made by
the river, rapidly applying temporary
barriers OF sacks filled with earth and
such other devices as are most
expedient. In the adjoining parishes OF
st. Bernard and Plaquemines the levees
suffer some from wave washes.
The present dry weather, however, Is
a God-send. and the rain soaked lsvees
are drying quickly, facilitating improve

died. Mckinley, on the contrary, grew
sleek and fat, and met with no mishap

10 years president OF the Kansas State

only the beginning Of a clean sweep pro-
posed by the board Of regents. The dis

yesterday by the discharge Of IA other
members Of the faculty and numerous
other employees of the institution. No
charges were preferred against any OF
the teachers released. The board Of reg

majority, simply stated that the die

grazing a rib and passing through the
feshy portion Of the right arm. He is
dangerously wounded. He says: Il was

Daily, the murdered man, was hit in

Drs. Leavenworth and Hayes found
that the bullet had entered Cox's breast
and passed through the left lung and
into the fleshy portion Of the left arm.

is feared from internal hemorrhages.
cox DOESN'T KNOW IT.
This afternoon as Cox was lying in
the town hall, surrounded by doctors
and visited by scores of citizens, he was
apparently greatly interested in know.
ing what had happened. He asked one
friend who had done it.. and why he bad
been shot, and seemed entirely ignorant
OF the mornings disturbances, or that
he had been the principal actor in them.
His questions indicated a late return to
consciousness, and he gave no evidence
that he knew what he had done. In
answer to a question how he was hurt,
he said it must have been in a scrap,
and. concerning the crowd that had
gathered, he jestingly complained that
they acted like somebody was dead. The
man whom he had murdered was lying
within six feet of him at the time.
In the same saloon two previous kill
ings in Altman have taken place. In
May of 1895 George Popst and Jack
Smith were killed in this saloon, and on
the night OF last Fourth Of July Richard
Fitzgerald was accidentally killed by
some associates.

CAUTIOUS

New York, April 1.-THE Press will
tomorrow print the following from its
special correspondent at Larissa. Thes-
sally:
Il had a personal interview with
Crown Prince Constantine. commander
in-chief of the Greek troops, at his head
quarters here this afternoon. The
prince talked freely of the situation con-
fronting the people. He said:
81 am fully prepared to make war
when it becomes necessary. My troops
are in excellent condition. and the war,
like spirit prevails in the soul OF every
man under arms.
IF the Turkish soldiers should make
an attempt to cross the fronLir and at
tack us, l should act promptly. shall
stand by this decision, whatever may
happen, but l shall not do anything to
force the crisis.
I'm the face Of any popular demon
stration favorable to the declaration o.
war, am convinced that my soldiers
would prove true to their allegiance. and
would obey me, no matter what influ-
ence was brought to bear on them.
Therefore l do not fear any hasty action
on their part without first considering
my orders.
1.-The incursion into Turkish terri
tory by several rebel bands of armed
Greeks was wholly unauthorized by me,
and absolutely against my policy and
my instructions from the king.
1.-The attack upon the Moslems will.
by no means, be used as an excuse to be-
gin war, and l shall do my utmost to
prevent a repetition of such a violation
Of the neutrality laws. The Turkish
position captured by rebels will not be
occupied by the Greek army. MOI will we
aid the invaders in any way"

DANIEL VOORHEES, f
The Tall Sycamore OF the Wabash Pass.
es Away.

Washington, April 1O.-Danial Wolsey
Voorhees,, ex-United States senator from
Indiana, died at 5 o'clock this morning
at his home in this city.
The senator has been in poor health
for several years, and the last two years
past has taken little part in the proceed
ings in the senate. He has been a %
slant sufferer from trouble OF the heart,
and his friends therefore had come to
expect that they might hear of his death
suddenly. The last reports Of him,
however, indicated some signs of i'm.
provement, and his death therefore,
while not entirely unexpected, came
with the s%uddenness OF a shock.
At the time of his retirement from
the senate the Tall Sycamore Of the
Wabash" as he was aff%ectionately called
by his followers Of the Hoosier state,
was the ranking democrat ON the finance
committee, and by virtue Of this posi-
ton was the leader Of his party on the
floor Of the n On the tariff and
financial questions. He was not very
active. however. owing t i'll health, in
work or the Wilson tariff bill. In the
repeal of the Sherman silver law. the
Hoosier senator, however, took a very
prominent part. It was his last import,
ant work in the senate.
Mr.. voorhees, death was caused by
an attack OF angina pectoris. The sena.
tors health was so poor during the re-
cent political campaign that he could not
participate in it, but after his return to
Washington in November, he seemed to
improve in health. Two weeks ago his
old rheumatic troubles returned and
three days ago became more alarming,
but the senator did not confine himself
to bed, and his family felt no immediate
alarm. It was not, indeed, until half an
hour before the final summons came that
any one realized death was so near. The
senator's son, Reese, had remained in
the room with his father during the
night, and was awakened about 4 o'clock
this morning by his father, who was
then suffering great pain in the region
of his heart. He refused to allow a ply
stefan to be called, saying that the pain
would pass away. Half an hour he ap-
peared much better. and got out OF bed
and walked to the bathroom. his son be-
ing with him. When they entered the
hallway the senator was attacked by q
more severe spasm than he had vet ex-
%perienced, and fell in a semi-conscious
condition into his sons arms. The lat
ter carried the dying man back to bed
and summoned DR.. Shoup. It vas too
late, however. The ex-senator passed
away without regaining full conscious
ness. His son, Reese. his daughter. Miss
Halle Voorhees,. and the physician were
present when he died.
The remains will be taken to Terre
Haute, Ind, the senator's home for many
years. for interment.

London. April 1.-THE Times will
print the following dispatch from its
correspondent at Larissa:
stringent orders have been issued
against irregular fighting, and the pen.
atty of death will be imposed for any in
fraction. The general impression here
is that war will be proclaimed tomor,
row Monday or Tuesday. The posi-,
ton of affairs is now extremely criti,
Cal. Although the Turkish army has
not yet assumed the offensive, orders ia
that effect from the sultan are expected
at any moment. All classes of the troops
are full of war enthusiasm.
THE Greek outposts are being quietly
strengthened, and small %deLachments
are proceeding to theiI positions under
cover Of the darkness.
The latest information received here
on the subject Of the raid shows that
Che invading insurgents first advanced
toward Chassanga. 1t is reported that
the Turks opposed the attack with. ar,
tillery. The Greek losses were 90 kill,
ed and p wounded. The Turkish losses
are said to lave been much greater.
ut is rumored that yet another at,
tack was made on the Turks at the rear
Of Mount Olympus, where the Greeks
succeeded in planting a flag.
Some details are at hand of a skirm-
ish near Gravena. On Thursday morn,
ing 1.500 Euzonoi, uniformed and com
manded by Greek officers, crossed the
frontier near Baltimon and advanced TO
a point near Gravena. Here they met a
detachment OF the Fifteenth Chasseurs.
on picket duty in the woods, and hem,
med them in. After two hours of sharp
fighting the Sixth battalion OF Chasseurs
came to the rescue, under the command
of Islam Pasha. and drove the Euzonoi
lost $50 killed.
AT the same time Greek artillery was
firing upon a Turkish b%lockhouse, and
the firing continued until midnight yes
terday. the combatanLs retaining their
respective positions. 1t is not known
how many Turks were killed, but il is
said the number was small.
"Gissousi. the accredited representa-
tive of the Ethnike Hetairia, tells me
that he looks for important news short

Greek deputies and with leading sup
porters Of the patriotic movement who
have recently arrived here, and there

the Denver Republican from Altman
Colo, says: John Cox, crazed by liquor,
shot and instantly killed his partner,
Robert Daily in McElroy & Coils saloon
in Altman at 1915 o'clock this morning.
After killing Daily the murderer shot al
and hit Sam Loschy, then passed
through the door Of the saloon and shot
Harry Miner, breaking his arm; then.
seeing the town marshal, Ed O'Brien,
coming down the street, he shot at him.
O'Brien fired in return, and Cox fell,
with a bullet through his lungs.
KILLED HIS BEST FRIEND.
Cox killed his best friend and shot
and wounded two OF his close compan>
ions. He lies at the town hall in Alt
man, guarded by Constable ]. F. Lem
ons and attended by w physicians,
who express his condition as critical, and
his chances for recovery slight.
Cox is an ex-convict. A few years
ago, probably in 1891, he killed a man
In Coal Creek, and was captured by the
Officers in an abandoned coal mine. from
which he was smoked out. He was een>
fenced to three years in the Canon City
penitentiary. and after serving his term
came to Cripple Creek in 1895. Here he
worked as a miner, and until about two
weeks ago was employed in the Garfield
Grouse mine. He was preparing to leave
the camp when summoned as a witness
in the litigation with the Mineral Rock,
and was held here on that case. Since
he left the mine he has been drinking
heavily. Until recently he boarded ut
the boarding house OF Mrs. Miner, the
mother Of a Of his today's victims,
and he and Harry Miner and Robert
Daily were the best Of friends and steady
companions.

Yesterday y pay day. A party Of
Altman miners were celebrating the ar
rival Of that important day. The Nc,
Elroy & Call saloon was a popular re,
sort. There is q pool table in the place,
and Cox and Daily had been playing
pool. Cox. after two-weeks' debauch,
was crazed with drink. but the game
went on without dispute until toward
the end, when a quarrel arose owe the
u ing Of the balls The partners
went over to Lyons saloon and had a
drink, and took up the quarrel over the
balls. They then walked back to Nc
Elroy's. Cox invited Daily out to fight
the quarrel with guns. Daily refused
to go. and laughinly turned the matter.
Cox drew q gun and became boisterous.
Miner interfered and was pushing Daily
out Of the ear door OF the saloon. In
doing so Daily's hat came of, and he
came In to get 1t again. As he did so
Cox approached him again and said:
Which door do you want to go out or"
They we're supposed to be in good humor
again, and Daily. throwing up his
hands, said: Il guess 1 won't go out
just give it to me here"
