ANOTHER ROBBERY IN THE HOTEL.

The other fact in addition to the discovery
as TO the missing earrings is regarded by the
police as complicating the case to certain
degree The robbery and murder Of Miss
REYNOLDS were not the only crimes committed
in the Grand Hotel Monday night. Theo-
dore Vail the Chief Of Police Of Atlanta, Ga,
arrived in New York on Monday In order 10

occupied "A room directly opposite Miss Rey-

he pinned to the mattress under his pillow, on
Monday night In the morning 1t was gone.
Mr. Vail reported the robbery 10 the police be
fore the murder was discovered and the de-
tectives now think that perhaps the same per
son is responsible for both crimes.
Chief Devery and Captains McClusky ana
Price were in consultation all last evening on
the case At the close OF the conference Cap

VIM. J. Bryan volunteered as private
and became a colonel through appre-
citation by the governor of his state
that as colonel he would he worth a
thousand privates. He had no oppor-
tunity to show his soldierly qualities,
it is true but his conduct all along
has been sufficient guarantee of the
distinguished service he would have
on the field had he been sent
against the enemy. His record will
certainly compare with that of Presi-
dent Mckinley. But we are not out
yet. 1t is conceded on all sides, north
and south, by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, that the real hero of the war is
General Joe Wheeler. He was a noble
patriot and brave soldier. TO no
one man is due more credit for the
quick and glorious ending of the San
tiago campaign. Bryan and Wheeler
are free silverites. Yes, that is all
right; let the Republicans 60 ahead.
They may put up Mckinley and
Roosevelt. That will be good tick
ct; but in Bryan and Wheeler we can
easily match it.

for l have no idea of committing sui
eide"
The man Picard referred to was a
detective who had been employed by
the Dreyfusites, and who was found
hanging dead in a room. 1t was given
out at the time that he had committed
suicide; but there was reason to be.
lieve that he had been murdered by
the anti.Dreyfusites, who sought to
prevent him from divulging what he
had learned.
Colonel Piquart's remarkable state
ment still further aroused the people
to the desperation Of the situation, and
since then public indignation through
out France, and especially in Paris, has
been boiling more fiercely than ever.
What is going to be the outcome of it
all, it is impossible to foretell but in
view of the character of the French
people, and the peculiarly aggravating
nature of the source of all the distur-
bance, outsiders can see no other cul-
mination than in another bloody revo-
luton.

- Anent the appointment of Evan
P. Howell as Q member of the COM
mission to investigate the war depart.
meut, some of the Georgia papers are
ruking up all kinds of anecdotes about
the jolly captain. One of these relates
to the famous Prohibition campaign in
Atlanta when Captain Howell was on
one side and the late Henry Grady was
on the other. The Negro 'vote was
recognized as an important element in
the determination of the result, and
the story goes that as a great scheme
to capture this vote, Grady telegraphed
to The Constitutions correspondents
all over Georgia, and had them
to collect and ship to Atlanta
thousand or more 'possums, and then
announced a big 'possum supper to
take place in a warehouse. All the
Negroes of the city were invited.
Captain Howell was for a time non
plussed by this coup; but after much
hard thinking, he had killed, cleaned
and distributed among the 'possums
that had been prepared already for
the pot, a dozen or so common house
cats. The claws, tails and heads Of
the animals were left on the carcasses
SO there could be no dispute as to
their identity. Several thousand Ne
groes gathered at the warehouse early
in the evening 10 watch the prepara-
tions for the feast, and one by one an
agent of Howell's began to discover in
the great pile of 'possums and point
out to the Negroes, the cats. Within
very short time the Negroes were
wildly indignant and they left the
warehouse swearing that they would
not vote with any man or party that
tried to make them eat cats. Accord
ingly, at the election next day all voted
for whisky, and it was because of the
mastery manner in which Howell
turned to his own advantage Grady's
great scheme. The story is very inter-
esting and quite laughable but at the
same time we know it 10 be fact that
in it all there is not a word of truth,
except that Grady and Howell were
on opposite sides, and that the Negroes
threw their vote for whisky.

FRENCH TROUBLES.

France is thought to be on the verge
of another revolution. tits all because
of that Dreyfus muddle.
The agitation was commenced with
renewed violence as the result of the
recent death of Colonel Henry, after
he had confessed to having forged cer-
tain evidence against Dreyfus.
Colonel Henry was sent to prison
and shortly afterward he was found
with his throat cut. A bloody razor
was found by his side and it was given
out that he had committed suicide to
cover up his disgrace.
The death of Colonel Henry aggra-
waited the sensation and brought out
new facts and suspicious. Among the
suspicious developed was one to the
effect that he had not really committed
suicide but that he had been mur-
dered in order to prevent him from
divulging still other secrets that he
was believed to possess in connection
with the terrible crime that large
portion of the world is convinced has
been perpetrated against Dreyfus.
During the past two weeks, public
interest has been centered on the ques-
tion of a revision of the Dreyfus case.
The matter has been in charge of a
committee composed of members of
the cabinet. A large portion of the
Partisan populace is in favor of revision.
the cabinet leans that way but the
army is opposed, and President Faure
is with the army.
The Dreyfusites claim that The con-
viction and punishment of Dreyfus
was an outrage on an innocent man, a
travesty on justice and blot on the
honor of the nation that can only be
wiped out by the undoing of the terri.
BILE wrong. The officers of the army
claim that Dreyfus was justly convict
ed and punished, and that a revision,
brought about by silly popular clam
or, will reflect on the honor Of the
army.
Colonel Piquart, Dreyfustc, was
hauled before military tribunal re-
Gently on the charge of having Gre
vealed documents concerning the ma
tional defense" The documents re-
vealed help to prove the innocence of
Dreyfus. The colonel was convicted
and sent to military prison; but be.
fore he left the court room, he ad-
dressed those present as follows:
"This is, perhaps, the last time |
shall speak in public. l shall sleep,
perhaps, in the military prison of
Cherche Midi. Therefore, | wish to de-
clare that if | find there the strangling

-" "Along with progress in other
directions the Improvement in the
conduct of our secular newspapers
is very noticeable" says "Children
and Charity" "Twenty or thirty
years ago it was hardly expected that
paper could give an opponent credit
for any merit at all. Partisan and
prejudiced accounts of political dis
cussions were not only expected, but
required for a fair and just review
of speech in a campaign made by
man of the opposite party would
subject an editor to the suspicion OF
disloyalty. 10 be sure this spirit is
not entirely dead yet. 1t is hardly
possible for some Of our brethren OF
the press to be fair and candid in
their reports; but the number OF
papers that rise above the passion
of the hour is steadily growing. We
have in mind one paper, at least, that
will not stoop 10 misrepresentation
aud that instructs it's reporters to
write the plain truth whatever the
cost. 1t is strong in its convictions
and deals hard blows; but at the
same time a man of different faith
will not he placed in false light
before the world in it's columns. 1t
is gratifying to know that the public
is beginning to appreciate this sort
of journalism, and gradually it will
supplant the sensational and unre-
liable newspapers. In the long run
it pays to do the right thing, and
this applies to newspapers as well
as individuals"

NOT REPAIRED YET.

The washout at Manning branch, on
the o. R. & G. railroad, just beyond
Hickory Grove, was much more serious
than was at first reported.
Work was commenced sometime ago
TO substitute for the curved trestle on
which the railroad crossed Manning
branch, big fill, and to all appear
ances the work had been completed in
firstclass style, leaving a 6-foot' culvert
below to provide for freshets.
But the freshet of last Thursday
night proved too much for the newly
constructed work. The culvert was
too small for the purpose intended,
and the great volume of water which
came down the stream soon mounted
almost to the top of the embankment.
Then the fill began to give away
around the exit end of the culvert,
and the caving earth smashed the old
trestle timbers until the track rails
were left on unsupported stringers
above.
At first there was reason to believe
that the damage could be repaired
within a few hours; but as the earth
was removed from below there was
continued caving from above, until
the task developed to indefinite pro-
portions.
On Sunday and Monday the railroad
people had force of about 1875 hands

RETTER MAIL FACILITIES.

Congressional Nominee Finley is,
no doubt, getting a good deal of advice
from his friends and others on various
subiects-matters to be done or to be
undone-matters over which he may
have some control and matters
over which he will certainly have
no control whatever. In view oi
this fact, The ENQUIRER should not
feel disposed to offer any additional
but we have in mind one important
natter which, if looked after properly,
will BIZ of immense advantage to the
Fifth congressional district, and we
believe alsG that the Fifth cougression-
al district will be willing to bestow its
lasting gratitude upon the individual
through whose instrumentality this
advantage is eventually realized.
There is room for tremendous im-
provement in the postal facilities of
the Fifth congressional district. This
district, we have reason to believe,
enjoys better mail facilities than any
other district in the state, and York
county is in better shape than any
other county in the district but still
neither the Fifth congressional district
nor York county enjoys anything like
the advantages in this matter that are
enjoyed by territories of equal size
and of less wealth and population in
various sections of the north and west.
Most of the reasonably good mail
facilities-we refer especially to star
route service-now enjoyed by the
Fifth congressional district, is the
work of Mr.. John J. Henphill. So far
as we know, he never, at any time
devoted especial study to the matter ;
but he was, at all times, ready, willing
and able to secure such improvements
as were suggested to him with proper
recommendations, and during his term
in Office he did a great deal for the dis
trict.
But still there is much to be done.
The work calls for the development
and carrying out of systematic plan.
Many sections of the district are now
without proper mail facilities for the
reason that, heretofore, nobody has
interested himself sufficiently to take
the proper steps to secure them. There
are several sections of York county in
which the mail facilities are miserable.
For instance, in all Fort Mill township
there is but single postoffice, and
many of the people along the road
from Yorkville to Fort Mill have to 60
six, eight and ten miles for their mail.
But it is not our purpose to attempt
to point out all the sections in the dis
trict, or even in York county, which
are struggling along with inadequate
mail facilities. We only wish to call
especial attention to the fact that there
is room for great Improvement along
this line, and we believe that Mr..
Finley will be the man to secure these
improvements.

CONvICTs ON THE STREETS.

The town council has had the chain
gang at work on the lower end of Main
street during the past week or 10 days.
The county is paying back time, which
it owes to the town, under the provis-
ions of an act passed by the last gen.
eral assembly as follows:
Whenever any town or municipal
authority in this state have not suffi-
cient number of convicls sentenced TO
work on the public works of the town
to warrant the expense of maintaining
a town chaingang, the town authorities
of said town shall be authorized to
place said convicts on the county chain
gang for the time so sentenced, and the
county authorities of the county in
which said town is situated, shall be
authorized and empowered to exchange
labor with said town authorities, and
place county convicts on the public
works of the town for the same num-
Der of days that town convicts work
on the public roads of the county.
