ing pestered Chinese storekeeper and
his wife, who reside in that vicinity,
until the man chased them with a
stick. Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
and Officer Vida, who were driving by
at the time, saw part of the affair
and gave pursuit to one young fellow.
After running through garden they
came upon the youth, who proved to
be Thomas Honan, who Whispered,
Keep quiet!" thinking the officers
were some of his companions. The boy
was taken to the station house and for
some time refused to divulge the names
of his companions.
The Open cell, however, brought out
the information that the others were
Eddie Rosewarne, Wallace Blaisdell
and Max Buchanan and John Colburn.
The boys amused themselves at the
Chinese's by throwing sacks of flour
out OF the place and jumping up and
down on the floor, which was a weak
one. When the Chinese woman finally
got them outside, they foreibly pushed
the door in, throwing her to the floor
The police are determined to break ur

 When we reached Virginia Beach there was no way to get across, as Ill the bridges had been washed way. We gave Eegro $10 for the
 se Of dilapideted skiff, in which we attempted to cross. We knew it was risky job, but we were deter mined to reach Galveston. When our boat got about half way over we struck squall and the boat began to fill up and we had to leave it, a sail boat coming to our rescue. Men were wild on the opposite shore, which we had just left, and some jumped into the bay In an attempt so reaca our boat and go oyer to Galveston. Strong men wept and prayed for us to get them. but the boat was well filled and we were compelled to leave them.

 HEARD GOOD NEWS.
 i've finally reached the Fremont Hotel, where there was an ineom- plete list of the dead. We looked over the list, but familiar names were not there. We then went to Mrs. Fulton, with whom we were acquainted, and there learned that our folks were saved.

We got our people togethor and, after much trouble, left Gal weston as soon as possible.

AND THAT'S WHY JORDAN BELL IS NOT AFRAID
 TO DIE.
TO BE HUNG OCTOBER %.
Unless Gov. Jones Interfcres-A Happy Negro and he
 Cares Not.

h lonely cell in the Jefferson county jail in this city is Jordan Bell, IT., q negro wife-murderer, who has been sentenced to hang at Dumas, Ark, on Friday, October 26
 A Graphic reporter visited the unfortunate man Saturday. He was mingling with number Of other prisoners tn the hall way, and when called to his cell by Jailor Davis came pfancing up as happy as school-boy en route to circus. He is small negro. with round head, which has been shaved clean, but is doubtless possessed Of wonderful strength.
 He was smoking cigarette when the reporter first caught sight oi him and continued to puff away as he talked, at the same time blowing the sm 1k Of the "eoffin tack Into the pencil=pusher's face. He talks in- erestirgly and seems to have fair command of the English language. He seems to be sensible negro, and can, if he wants to, realize the hor. ribe predieamen he is in at present.
 h answer to number Of qaes- tions. Bell said he was just 22 years 0f age; that be had a father and mother, who are living on Mr. Wal : ter Pendeton's place at Pendleton.
 He said be was not afraid to die, because he always said his prayers and says them every night when be goes to bed. He stated that he has lots Of confidence in his attorney, Mr. x, 0. Pindall, who, Bell thinks, will save his neck. I'm not afraid of hanging" :" he said. That's all ] want to say.
 When questioned further Bel would not answer, but stood there puffing away at his cigarette, and al intervals knocked off tbe ashes. Hf is a very polite negro, and is said tc oe favorite with the prisoners, whe believe that they ought to treat hin right, as he has not many more days to live.
 When be left the reporter Bel danced back to where the prisoner. had gathered, in the rear end of tht long corridor, which divides tht cells, and, jumping upon prisoner'' back, iaughingly jabbered something to him, which brought laugh iron the ridden ecoon." They wrestIed for a while on the floor ard finally sat down and talked to seyera others, aho were happily gathered in bunch tsllinR jokes to pass ths time away.
 Attorney x 0 Pindall is making q strenuous effort to get bis man re. prieved and may succeed. for thf time Of Bells execution is forty days of, and he will have plenty tf time 10 work fo that end.

seemed to leave his leg and retire into

was Iugked with intolerable pain in his
bowels and back, making ii impossible
for him to sleep. He rode out once at

fullest freedom Of worship for the

vainly st"0vG to check his tears with
the &alacc Of that Scripture which he
know in whole by heart.
The belief that had followed Crom-
well all through his life that he was

with The Most IiiEh God was strangely
manifested in these last days. He be
