NEGRO WOMAN LEAPS
FROM MOVING TRAIN.
Springs to Her Death Before
She Can BE Stopped by Other
Passengers in the Car.
The State, 23d inst.

Susie Little, a colored woman,
committed suicide yesterday after
noon by jumping from the car
windC W of q train on tic Colu n
bia Nswberry and Laurens road,
which was moving at the rate of
80 miles an hour.
The train was near the station
of Ballentine, in Lexington coun-
ty, and had just passed a gang of
section hands, among whom was
the woman's husband. They had
not lived together for some time,
but when the husband found that
his wife had money on her per
son he demanded that it be given
to him, but this was refused.
The woman WAS sitting in the
seat with her II year old sister,
and before any in the car knew
what she was dong she had
jumped from the window. How
she got out is a remarkable mat
ter. Her neck was broken by
tho full and her head cut up,
while it is probable that many
bones were broken. Her young
sIster also attempted to get out of
the window but was prevented
from doing SO by the other pass
sengers in the car.
The tickets upon which the two
negroes were travelling were
second class tickets, bought at
Laurens, to Colu nbia.

him.
Her baggage consisted of some
baskets and bundles and 1881
were found upon her person, all
OF which was taken In charge by
the conductor, Capt. Fowler, who
turned them over to the railroad
authorities. The body was loft
at the scene of the suicide, await
ing the arrival of the coroner.
The dead woman's sister refused
to leave the body and acted as if
she also were out of her RIGHT

DAWSON CITY IS BURNED.
FOUR MILLION DOLLAR LOSS.
One Hundred and Eleven Buildings
Burned - Business Center all Gone
Worst They Ever Had-A Woman Up
set Tampa Strong Wind Blew.

Victoria, B. c., May 2l.-The main por-
ton OF the city of Dawson was destroyed
by fire on April 70, causing a loss of 81
100000. In all III buildings, including
the Bank of British North America, were
burned.
The news was brought down by L. S.
Humes, son of Mayor Humes of Saettle, j.
Toklas and third party who left Dawson
on April n, and made their way out by
canoe to Lake Ldbarge and then over the
ice, having most perilous trip. Toklas
reports that the fire occurred in the very
heart of the business center of the city,
commencing near the opera house on the
water front, and spreading with great ra-
pldlty, driven by u strong north wind, de-
stroylng everything on its way on that
street down to and including Donohue &
Smiths establishment, and taking all of
the water front buildings abreast of the
same blocks. The fire crossed the street,
burned through and spread over to Sec
ond street, covering the principal business
portion of Dawson, leaving it all in ashes
with the fremen powerless.
The fire consumed everything from Tim
Minis Royal cafe down to the building OPP
posite the Fairview hotel
The fire was the most disastrous that
has ever visited Dawson. Among the
most prominent firms burned out were the
Royal cafe, Donahue & Smith, Mcclellan
q McFeely, Parsons Produce Co., Aurora
saloon, Bodega, Madden house, Hotel Vic
toria, Mcdonald block, Bank of British
North America and scores of smaller firms,
and business houses.
The town is paralyzed because nothing
can be done until the opening of naviga-
ton, which will not be for several weeks.
AS was the case with all fires in Dawson,
this one was caused by a drunken woman
upsetting a lamp.

through the Buffalo camp and have made
twenty-one locations, and that all of our
claims show good bodies Of ore that pan

ashamed to tell you the plain truth about
them as they appear to me, they are so
rich and big. Two of these rich lodges
are thirty and fifty feet wide respectively,
and one almost pans free gold the full
width. Ten of these locations are on
the extension of the Big Buffalo and the
others are on the parallel veins. They
are wonderful lodges. The showing
we have made is getting up big excite

which the difficulty was handled by
General Merriam and the governor COM
bined was almost as illegal as the violent
conduct of the rioters themselves. 1t
was in effect unnecessary substitution of
military for civil government, ofdepotism
for freedom. The opinion Of General
Merritt that the constitution has been
"outgrown," his eulogy of Secretary
Alger, with his peculiar methods, as
greater than the world-renowned War
Secretary of our internecine conflict,
sounded harshly to the ears of educated
Americans, loyal too their national
institutions. But the conduct of General
Merriam aud the chief executive of
Idaho brings home to the country with
realistic significance what Imperialism
really means.
The ninth section of article I Of the
| Federal constitution declares: THE
privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
shall not be suspended unless when in
cases of rebellion or invasion the public
safety may require it," This great writ
of right cannot be suspended by the
president himself, except under the
authority of an act of congress, as has
been repeatedly decided by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Yet, accord
ing to the news dispatches, when General
Merriam had an Overwhelming force un-
der his command, and without even
Temporary necessity. nominally under
state authority but as the result of an
agreement with the Federal General, the
writ was suspended and martial law
declared. Again, the first amendment
to the Federal constitution deprives
itself of the power of "abridging the
freedom of speech or of the press" Yet
General Merriam, assumed the right to
establish press censorship. And, still
further, miners as we'll as capitalists are
legally authorized to unite for their own
protection and to exert the power of
combination to maintain the rate Of
wages. But, unless the news reports are
false, this elementary principal has been
repudiated by General Merriam, and the
condition for the resumption at work at
Wardner enforced that no member OF the
Miners'union shall be employed.-San
