BRU TAI CRIM E.
A Beggar Boy Murdered to Hide q
More Hsilous Crime. Supposed to
be the Work of Soldier.

Columbia, S. c., November ia
special to the State from Greenville,
S. c., says: Weaver Smith, a little
white boy beggar, was murdered
Thursday night. in the heart of the
town and the mutilated body was not
found until nearly twenty-four hours
later. A long cash in the boys stom-
ach caused his death.
Weaver Smith was about eight years
old and was notorious beggar around
town, having skillfully worded story
of distress. When last seen about Z
O'Clock Wednesday night, he was going
toward the First brigade camp. He
secured some money and food there and
visited the Fourth New Jersey last.
Late yesterday afternoon, negro wom-
an discovered the boy lying among weeds
on Elford street, which is side street,
one block north of the Confederate mon
ument. The boy was lying on the south
sidewalk, which is rarely used When
discovered, he lay on his face and on be-
ing turned over, the cut in the stomach
was revealed. The physician found evil
dence of another crime committed before
death, and the boy was doubtless killed
to prevent it's discovery.
Two New York soldiers coming from
camp to town Thursday night, heard
cries on Elford street. and approaching
found another soldier. unknown to them,
with a boy, who the soldier claimed, had
lost his way. This mans command is
unknown, and the New York soldiers left
him standing near the child. 1t is believ-
ed the boy was Weaver Smith and the SOL
dier his murderer. The crime has arOus-
ed the greatest indignation among citi-
zens and soldiers and if the guilty man
is caught and proves to be a soldier, his
comrades will endeavor to make short
work OF him.

Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women are
robbed of their natural attractiveness and
capacity. They lose healthy color and
energy and ambition. The blood becomes
poor and thin and laden with disease-gerrns.
The true antidote for this condition is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t acts
directly upon the digestive powers and the
liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free
from bilious impurities; it renovates every
organ and tissue of the body building UP
hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength
and imparting nerve power and permanent
vitality, which malt extracts do not give.

was swelled across my stomach; had ridge
around my right side, and in a short time was
bloated. was treated by three of our best ply
esc.ans but got no relief was SO weak could
not walk across the room without assistance.
Then Dr.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery was
recommended to me and got it. and commenced
the use Of it. began to improve very fast after
the use of few hotties. The physicians said my
disease was leading into pulmonary consump-
ton, and gave me up to die. thank God that
ny cure IS permanent .

A NOVEL QUESTION
OF Law Arising on Account of the Recent
Murder of u Penitentiary Guard


COLUMBUS, o.. November ia rather
unique question has arisen regarding
Frank O1Neill and James Atkinson, the
two prisoners implicated in the murder
of Guard Lauderbaugh at the Ohio pen
itentiary Friday. Both men are serving
fifteen year sentences, having been re-
ceived quite recently. AS the murder is
clear case, it is altogether probable that
both will be sentenced to DEATH and the
question now arising is concerning the re-
mainder of their present sentences. Gov
ernor Bushnell, while declining to )mmt
himself says that 1t lays within the pow
er of the chief executive at any time to
commute the sentences of prisoners. Elk
Secretary of State D. J. Ryan, who is well
yersed criminal law says this will
have to be done before a greater sentence
is executed.

Adjutant General, Washington:
Following deaths since last report:

The report showing such a small
death rate among so many soldiers is
extremely gratifying. That only one
death should occur in 10000 troops in
ten days is very surprising.
