VICTIM OF RIVERSIDE EX-
PLOSION DIES OF HIS INJURIES
RICHARD X. SATTERFIELD PASS
ED AWAY YESTERDAY MORN
ING
At His Home in Benwood-Was a
Well known and Very Efficient
Engineer of the Mill-0ther Ben
wood News.

Richard K Satterfield, who was one
of the victims of the explosion occur
ring recently at the Riverside mill,
died from the effects of his injuries at
his home on Main street, Benwood,
yesterday morning at half-past one
o'clock. AS is known, of the number
of workmen who were hurt by the ac-
cident, Mr.. Satterfield sustained the
most serious injuries. He had his
body badly scalded by the hot water
and steam which issued from the burst
ed boilers, and he also inhaled the
steam.
Mr.. Satterfeld was one of the most
efficient employees of the Riverside mill,
and was generally we'll liked by his
fellow workmen. He came to Ben
wood from Marion county, this State,
in 1887, and here spent the remainder
of his life. He was very well known
in the industrial town and his death,
which occurred under particularly de-
plorable circumstances, will occasion
deep sense of regret among his many
friends Deceased was in the fiftleth
year of his afe, and is survived by a
wife and two children, Miss Hattie and
Mr.. Lehman Satterfield. He had been
employed as an engineer at the boiler
house of the Riverside steel plant for
twelve or thirteen years, having Sc
cured the position just after removing
to Benwood to reside.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
row morning at ten o'clock from the
family residence. and the remains will
be taken to Colfax, the home of his
relatives, for interment.

ABOUT SUNDAY BALL.
h. A. L. Thinks Federation Of
Churches should Go After Other

Churches Should Go After Other
Evils.
To the Editor OF the Register
Sir: Having had my attention called
to a pamphlet headed Sunday Base
Ball: A Protest" by way of vigorous
protest against the pamphlet by large
body of men, / desire to be heard on
the subject through the columns of
your paper, If allowed that privilege.
After stating the case the pamphlet
reads:
Therefore, we call upon all good
citizens, through respect of the laws
of our State and the moral welfare of
our community, to strictly refrain from
attending all games, including week
day games Of base ball played by said
League, so long as this League per-
sists in playing Sunday base ball in
Ohio county. BY order of the Minis
terial Association of Wheeling and vic
Unity"
ALI very nice on the face, but is that
returning good for evil? Are these
men who are protested leaders OF the
people, law-abiding, patriotic citizens?
They have a law, Return good for
evil" Is this the way to do it? Would
1t uOL D6 DttltI, II ~
turn your batteries in another dlrec-
ton? On what side of the question
were you in the recent trouble at GER
tain mill in your town when the men
we're discharged for Joining a union,
which is an organization to secure bet
ter wages and shorter work hours? |
did not see any protest from your hon
orable body against that breach OF law,
for did not that act take away the lib
erty of those men, guaranteed them by
law? If justice was established
throughout the land, men would have
leisure time through the week to play
ball. Then I suppose they would feel
more like respecting the Sabbath as
you preach. l say preach, for am
afraid it is not lived up to by any. for do
we not all ride on street cars, thus caus-
ing other men to work on Sunday, and
countless other instances | can men
ton? So think that all good citizens
will see that it is a case of swallowing
a camel and straining on gnat.
1t is written, Their folly will become
manifest unto all men," also, let him
that is without sin cast the first stone. ,

GOVERNOR SAVES
 A NEGRO'S LIFE
GaIIows Robbed of a Victim at
 TaIIadega
SENTENCE WAS COMMUlED
Nathan Raeland Stayed the Man Who
 Betrayed His Daughter, and Gov ernor Johnston Decides Death Too Great a Punishment.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Clancey. Mont gomery, November (Special.)-Governor Johnston yesterday commuted the death sentence of Nathan Ragland, colored, of Talladega, to imprisonment for twenty years with allowance for good conduct. Hon. Cecil Browne had charge of the ap- peal for communication, which was re- sisted by the prosecution. The Governors reasons are stated at length in the follow ing:
 The undisputed facts in this case are that Nathan Ragland received information about D. m. on May B. 1899, from a note written by his daughter, who was about 15 years old, that she had been debauched by Will Braxdall, and that she had fled from home; that immediately thereafter he went, with his wife, to Braxdall and de- manded that he should repair the wrong by marrying his daughter; that Braxdall refused, and that Nathan then went in search of his daughter, and in the course of two or three hours returned and was greatly excited and distressed, crying and foaming at the mouth, and declared that he had to do something he did not want to do, and that he finally shot Braxdall to death about D. m. the same day.
 Ragland and Braxdall were both colored men and there is no evidence to show that they were unfriendly or that there was any probable motive for the crime except the ruin of Ragland's daughter
 There is evidence to show that Ragland had received, many years before, wound in the head, and has since then when great ly excited exhib.seu symptoms of rage, foaming at the mouth and crying, that in- dicated mania or emotional insanity.
 Affidavits of number of colored men were presented to me showing that it is commonly reported amongst the colored people in Talladega that Braxdall was libertine and had previously debauched three young colored girls. Ragland. 1t seems, was aggressive and resentful in his character and generally disliked. The law recognizes the just indignation and wrath that must enter the heart of the father upon the ruin of his daughter and excuses, $ to some extent, his punishment of the of- fender if done before he has had time to cool Our courts limit this cooling time to a very brief period But I have never known case in Alabama where white man has ever been seriously punished 4or staying the betrayer of his daughter. We condemn the negro for his lower standard of virtue. Shall we deny him the right given the white man to protect the chastity of his family? Holding in my hands in this case the power, and solemn responsibility of saying whether this man shall for this offense live or die, am not willing to say that any man, wllIle or black, shall be hung for killing within a few hours after being informed of the offense the betrayal of his / daughter.
 For these reasons let his sentence be commuted from death to imprisonment in the penitentiary for twenty years, with al- lowance for good conduct.

MANCHESTER MARKET.
Business Was Hampered by the Rise
 In Cotton.

Manchester, November 1s.-Cloth gener- ally hardened in price last week and a fair business was transacted, although this was hampered by the rise in cotton and the higher rates demanded by spinners. The manufacturers have asked for a meeting but have met with only partial response. Buyers continue to maintain caution in the matter of anticipating purchases, but ad- vances were occasionally obtained during the week on lots required for quick deliv- cry or to keep up regular supplies.
 A considerable portion of the inquiry for eastern outlet was impracticable. Less important channels, however forwarded an acceptable assortment of workable or ders.
 There was a slightly improved trade with China on the strength of more hopeful views for the future and moderate busi- mes was done with the Mediterranean and South American markets.
 The Manchester Guardian says that the delay in publishing the agricultural bu- reaus report in the United States regard ing the cotton crop has caused uncertainty and disappointment in certain quarters" adding that there is perhaps some reasons for keeping back favorable information.
