Revenue From Blind Tigers.

Charleston's crusade against the
blind tiger keepers Of Charleston has
begun and many prominent dealers
have been convicted and fined. When
it was found that the county machin-
cry was too powerfully worked to con-
vict the lawbreakers an ordinance was
adopted by council by which offenders
were sent to the city court. At the
first session a number OF offenders
were found guilty. They promptly
paid the fines, the city getting hand
some returns from an illegitimate
business which has not paid hereto
fore. All of the dealers have been sum
moned and more than 200 cases will
be made out in the next ten days. Ac-
cording to common report there are
500 blind tigers in Charleston. and all
of these places will be forced to pay
for the privilege of selling. The raids
on the tigers have been farcical in the
past, and this effort to break up the
business has utterly failed. With the
new law, however, the city will get re-
turns from the dealers, but the sale
will continue as it did in the old days
of saloons.

ANARCHIST MOST CONVICTED.
Sent to Pen For Publishing Seditious
Article When President Nc
KinIey Was Shot.

At New York Monday Johann Most,
the anarchist, was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary in the court
of special sessions for publishing IN
his paper, The Freiheit, an alleged
seditious article on the day following
the shooting of the late President NC
kinley.
The article in question was entitled
Murder Against Murder
In his defense Most claimed that
the paper containing the article was
printed and ready for distribution be-
fore the president was shot. Also'
that it was a quotation from an artl'
Gle published fifty years ago. After
imposing the sentence Judge Hlms-
dale read the opinion Of the court, IN
which he said:
1T is no answer to the evil and
criminal nature of this article to claim
that it was not written for the purpose
of destroying crowned heads. 1t IN
culcates and enforces the idea that
murder is the proper remedy to be ap'
piled against rulers. The fact that II
was published fifty years ago and
again republished about fifteen years
ago only emphasizes and gives added
point to the crim!nality Of the repub-
fishing of it at any time. 1t shows de-
liberate intent to inculcate and promul'
gate the doctrines Of the article. This
we hold to be a criminal act. 1t is not
necessary to trace any connection in
this article with the assassination OF
the late president, The offense here
in the eyes of the law, is precisely the
same as if the bloody event had never
occurred. The murder OF the presl'
dent only serves to Illustrate and lllu'
mlnate the enormity of the crime OF
the defendant in teaching his diaboli'
cal doctrine"

Crooks Are on Hand.

Confidence men and crooks whu
hope to reap harvest from exposition
crowds, have already arrived in
Charleston. the advance guard being
strongly represented. The police de-
partment is at work on some plan by
which the crooks can be kept under
surveillance and driven out, but extra
forces will have to be employed. The
sharpers are spying out the land for
their confederates, who will follow lat
er, and the matter Is one which will
give serious trouble to the authorities.
At the exposition grounds there will
be a special detail of detectives and Sc
cret officers, but in the city there will
be need of a larger force Of men to
keep track Of the thieves and pick
pockets. Charleston's reputation here
tofore has been rather soft, and an in
experienced police department has not
oeen able to cope with the sharpers
Still, the conditions for dealing with
the light-fngered craft will be improv
ed this winter, and little show will be
given the crooks.

with the theft Of bonds, jewelry and
other property, valued at $4,000, be-
longing to Mrs. Denman Thompson and

law, and is said to have been taken
while the company was playing at the
Lyceum theatre. Locks Of the trunks
were picked and the articles selected
at leisure. Norris, in his capacity as
car inspector, had access to the car,
but the robbery was not discovered un-
til the company reached Albany.
Detectives in New York, as well as
the local police, were notified, and
some Of the jewelry was traced to the
place where an attempt to sell it had
been made. Further evidence led to
the arrest Of Norris.

PAT GROVE AGAIN ON DECK.
Alleged kidnaper of Young Cudahy
Offers to Surrender if Reward
OF $4,000 Is Withdrawn.

Saturday Chief of Police Donahue.
at Omaha, Neb., received from Pat
rick Crow, through a friend Of the lat
ter, an offer to surrender himself and
stand trial in the courts if the reward
OF $4,000 hanging over his head for
the alleged kidnapping of Edward A.
Cudahy, Jr., is withdrawn.
Chief Donahue did not accept the
proposition, but made counter o1fer
to waive the reward himself, saying
nobody else could secure it. The chief
says Grove is tired OF being hunted,
and is willing to take chances or
trial if the reward is withdrawn. He
says Grove is less than 500 miles away
from Omaha, and is not with relatives.
Edward A. Cudahy. Sr., was asked
if the reward for Grove would be with
drawn. In reply he said:
Yes; we will do anything to secure
Grove. l still believe Grove was one
of the abductors Of my son, but If ne
surrenders he shall have a fair trial.
and if he gives himself up under tno
circumstances named the reward Will
te withdrawn at once"
A secret letter was received Sunday
from Grove naming the terms on
which he will surrender. The letter
came in care OF an Omaha newspaper,
in which it is published and covers III
teen closely written pages OF manu-
script. The postmark is illegible, but
the letter was mailed at o'clock in
the morning and reached the city at
8 in the evening Of the same day, indl-
eating that it had not Travelled a long
distance. In the letter Grove agrees
20 give himself up at once and stand
trial for the kidnapping Of Edward Gu
iahy, provided he is not locked up un.
til jury shall adjudge him guilty. He
says he is unable to furnish bond in
excess of $500, and demands that bail
be fixed in that sum.
Chief Donahue when asked his opln-
ion of the genuineness OF the letter,
expressed himself as quite satisfied
that it came from Grove. Donahue
has known Grove for several years,
is acquainted with his manner, hand
writing and style of speech. The chief
also received letter from Groves un-
Gle at Manchester, Iowa, submitting
similar terms for Groves surrender,
which lead the police to believe that
they are dealing with the right man.

as postmaster of Charleston through
two democratic terms, has Joined the
republican ranks and is now a seeker
Of the same Office from a republican
administration. Since being deposed
Major Mowry has been known as a
gold democrat, although he will make
the fight strictly as a republican. Ma
jor Mowry was one of the best post
masters ever known in Charleston,
and his good worK was easily recog-
nized. He has good support in his ap'
plication and Is favored by Senator
McLaurin, his kinsman. A. c. Kauf'
man and Postmaster Cunningham are
applicants for the Office, and both will
use strong pulls to get in. Mr.. Kauf.
man is now an out and out republican,
and has friends in Washington who
are urging his claims. The Cunning
ham term Will not expire until next
year, but the applicants are anxious
to get grip on the Office before that
time.

MARTIAL LAW DECLARED.
England at Last Forced to Repressive
Measures In South Africa.

England at Last Forced to Repressive
Measures In South Africa.
The Cape Town Gazette procfaims
martial law in the districts Of Cape
Town, Wynberg, Simonstown, Port
Elizabeth and East London.
The proclamation Is the outcome or
the recent visit Of the premier OF Cape
Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg. and
the under secretary Of native affairs In
South Africa, J. Rose Innes, to the
British high commissioner, Lord Mil
ler. It places under military control
the few points in Cape Colony hitherto
exempted, and the constitution, there.
fore, is now suspended over the entire
colony. The action taken probably
foreshadows the commencement of Wig
orous measures which are understood
to be necessary to end the war.
Martial law will be modified In It's
application to the ports by leaving the
docks, railroads and harbors under the
control Of the civil authorities. - Mill
tary rule will be mitigated in some
other respects.

Heincus Plot Frustrated.


A diabolical plot to convict two per
sons for murder was nipped In the
bud at Charleston last Monday by a
startling confession. made under oath,
to Jailer Graddick, by Stephen Bridge,
man, of Red-Top. Two weeks ago Da-
vid Brown swore out warrant charg'
ing Celia Lawrence and Colonel Brown
with the murder Of BENJAMIN Law
renee, the formers hu-band. Law
renee had disappeared, and, according
to Brown. his body had been cut to
pieces, tied with ircn and sunk in
Cooper river. Efforts to find the body
failed, ard the mysterious disappear
ance of the husband was so conspicu'
Gus that a close net was being gath
cred, which would have undoubtedly
led to the conviction CT the pair. Mon
day, however, Bridgeman reached the
city and reported that Lawrence was
not dead, but was hiding in the
swamps above Charleston. Bridge"
mans story was that Lawrence hoped
to have his wife and Colonel Brown
convicted and hanged for murder, and
he intended to remain in the swamps
until the execution was over. David
Brown, it appears, got frightened at
the desperate predicament of the pris'
oners, and, after concession, he fed

prisoners will be released. Such a
clear case, based, however, on circum'

up against Colonel Brown and the wo

up for life, if not hanged.

WHELMED BY WATER
Bursting Of a Reservoir Greatly
Damages Town In Ohio.
HUNDREDS NARROWLY ESCAPE
Little Ones Were Playing Nearby and
Were Caught in Raging Flood.
Damage Will Aggregate
$4,000.

At East Liverpool Ohio, Sunday a
large reservoir, containing 100000
gallons Of water, burst and caused
great damage. No lives were lost, but
a score of people had narrow escapes.
The money loss will reach probably
s150,OOO.
The reservoir, which is owned by
the city and which was completed
only few days ago, was filled Sunday
morning for the first time. 1t was
taxed to it's utmost capacity when the
break occurred. A gang Of laborers
were laying pipes near the wall which
gave way. They miraculously escaped
death.
The basin is located 500 feet above
the pumping station, on the highest
hill in the city. A number OF houses
are located on the hillside between the
reservoir and the city proper. When
the wall gave way the water shot
down the incline with a mighty roar,
the noise warning the ocHpantst or
the endangered houses, who iushes to
a place of safety in time to save them
selves.
A party of children were playing IN
a road directly in the pathway OF the
torrent, and though caught by a ror-
ton Of the rushing water, were res
cued. Dozens of large trees were torn
from their roots and carried down the
hillside with lightning rapidity, being
jammed with terrific force against the
walls of the Harker Pottery Company
plant.
The main building, with several
smaller structures, were badly wreck
ed. Two large kilns and sheds were
dashed to pieces and $4,000 worth OF
ware ruined. The tracks of the Cleve-
land and Pittsburg railroad were cov-
cred with thousands Of tons Of wreck
age and traffic was blocked. The street
car line, running parallel with the
railroad, suffered severely and traffic
on a half mile Of the line has been
abandoned.
The pumping station was in the
pathway of the food and filled with
wreckage, which so damaged the en-
gines that they cannot be used. Sew
eral houses were moved from their
foundations, outbuildings carried
away and a number Of freight cars on
a side track overturned. The loss Is
estimated at from 100000 to $4,000.
