TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Tribute of respect from the
Lancaster Council Family Pro-
tective Union, No. 159, to the
memory of our worthy President,
w. s. l.. Porter.
In his death our council has
lost one who from it's organiza-
tion has been our faithful Presi-
dent, one we found to be loyal to
the order and true to each mem
ber.
In his last sickness he never
complained, but had kind word
for every one. Though conpar
atively a young man, he had won
for himself an enviable position
before the people of his cou nty.
Our hearts are sad when we rea-
lie that we shall see his face no
more or hear his voice giving
good council to the mem bers of
our order; and yet, mingled with
the sadness there is Joy also that
he has won his crown and will be
forever with the Lord.
Since we desire as a council to
record our Thanksgiving to God
for the life and work OF Brother
Porter and to express our sorrow
ut his death
Resolved, 1st. That we bow
in humble submission to the will
OF our Heavenly Father who gave
and who hath taken away and
who doeth all things we'll.
Pad. That we see in the death
of our Brother-a call to our
selves to be more Jealous and
faithful IN the work of our Mas
ter, for the time Is short and
night is soon coming when Qpa
work on earth will be ended.
3rd. That we express to the fam
lily of Brother Porter our sincere
sympathy for them in this their
great affiiction.
4th. That page in our min
ute book be inscribed to the
memory of Brother Porter, and
that copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the de-
ceased brother, and a copy fur
sished the county papers with the
request to publish.

The Smallpox Situation

The excitement over the small
pox has about subsidized. Two
cases have been reported in the
cotton mill section southwest of
town since our last issue. Mr..
Dunlap is the only person in the
corporate limits of the town, so
far as we have heard to contract
the disease and he contracted 1t at
work on the mill and is now able
to sit up. The prompt vaccina
tion of everybody in the town is
relied on to prevent the spread of
the disease. More than one
thousand of the town speculation
was vaccinated Sunday and Mon
day and the physicians had used
several hundred points prior to
that. Practically everybody in
the town is vaccinated, making
~the second time IN five years tina,
most of the population has had to
60 through the ordeal.
No serious cases have develops
ed at the cotton mill. DR..
Mackey has been put in charge
there by the State board of health.
Vaccination has been gong on
there since Monday. We Eope
the disease is about at it's rows
end here.

Thos. Douglas of Charlotte Killed
BY Sam McCraven.

Fort Mill, Nov. 80. .-Thos. Douglas
of Charlotte, n. g., was shot and
instantly killed this morning at 8
O'Clock by Sam McCraven at the
home of McGraven's sister at the
Millfort Mill. 1t seems that
Douglas had been the cause of
the separation Of McCraven's sis
ter and her husband about five
years ago and had been intimate
with her since that time until a
month ago, when McCraven rent
ed house here and put his moth
or and sister in it.
Douglas cane down from Char
lotte this morning accompanied
by his 12-year-old daughter and
went to the woman's house. He
had been there only few minutes
when McCraven appeared and
ordered him out of the house, his
command not being obeyed he
struck Douglas over the head with
stick and in the scuffle which
followed McCraven shot Douglas
just below the nipple, the bullet
going clear through the heart and
lodging in the muscles of the
back.
McCraven surrendered and is
now in the guard house.

The Robbed Preacher.

:,
my misfortune in the town of
Lancaster, S. G. on the night Of
the 18th OF Nov. | wish to reply
through the Lancaster papers.
To you who have asked some
questions about Sheriff Hunter,
| am pleased to say that the
Sheriff did more than his duty
as an officer he stood by me,
in my distress, like friend and
brother. The police force, the
kind editors and all the good
people of Lancaster did for me
all that | could have expected.
TO some inquirers | wish to say
that l believe that there are
lot of as good men and women
in the town Of Lancaster as any
where this side of Heaven. Lam
caster has not harmed me. AS
a town, compared with towns, 1
regard Lancaster as one of my
best friends. The town is as
anxious to bring the robber to
justice as | am. Many have been
very free and ungarded in ex-
pressing their opinions as to
who it might have been that
robbed me, and how it might
have been accomplished. Their
expressions have been quite va.
ried and conflicting. I appre.
ciate all judicious efforts to ap-
prehend the guilty, but l
very much regret that any one
may lose friends, cause them
selves and Others uupleasantness
In a way that is no help 80 me
nor any one else.

tion~ respecting this robbery,
some Of which | thought very
foreign and unbecoming, but I
have not told any ono who l
think got my money. | desire,
as near as possible, to presume
every body with whom I am ac-
quainted, to be innocent, until
| have evidence showing some
one to be guilty beyond a reason
able doubt. | can not, now,
say who got my money-hard
earned as it was hy devoted
wife, faithful children and my
self. | may never know who
it was until the great day when
all hidden things shall be made
manifest. May the Lord have
mercy and hslp that poor soul
to repent, and steal no more, and
prepare for a better world.
If the guilty one reads this
communication, let me say to
you that ! wish you eternally
we'll, but unless you repent with
repentance great enough to
cause you to return my money,
your chance for Heaven is elm !;
and your chances to be appre-
hended and duly rewarded is
hopeful, and every day being
prayed for. II you will return my
money before any one gets on
hot track Of you, | will never
expose you nor put you to any
trouble, but if you wait until
some detective gets on pursuit
of you, for the offered reward, l
would not stop him for twice the
amount Of which was robbed,
but let the detective and the law
have full sway.

prayerfully submitted,

MARSHAL LEE REMOVED.
MAYOR ACTS IN CASE OF CITY OFFICIAL
CHARGED WITH AIDING IN IN
STALMENT ABUSES

city Marshal William II. Lee, against whom
charges We're preferred by the Legal Aid So
ciety. was yesterday removed from office by
Mayor Low. No official announcement of the
removal was made, but it was learned the
East Side, where the majority of the instalment
dealers nave their places of business and con-
sresate, that this action had been taken Miss
Rosahe Loew attorney for the Legal Aid So
ciety, who has prosecuted the charges, was seen
by a Tribune reporter yesterday
Il have no official information of the re-
ported action, and could get none even so late
as this morning." said she. "AH l know is that
l heard from my East Side office of the mat
ter, and on inquiry the office of an East Side
lawyer who is attorney for certain of the
instalment dealers received confirmation That
is all I personally know about the matter"
The charges against Marshal Lee arose out
of the instalment outrages which have been re-
counted in The Tribune Among the various
cases was the WeinfeId case, in which it was
charged that Marshal Lee, in company with a
prominent instalment dealer, went to a mans
house, Knocked him down, assaulted him and re-
moved a certain portion of his personal effects.
This was the most striking of the instalment
cases Mayor Low in person sat at the trials,
and this is the first decision rendered.
Charges were also preferred against City
Marshal Charles Comiskey, but so far as could
he learned yesterday decision had been
reached in his case
Mayor Lows action in this case may be re-
garded as a great victory by all who have been
interested or taken part in the fight against
the corrupt and Illegal practices of the install
ment dealers and their alleged allies. the city
marshals There are other decisions to follow in
several cases Moreover. early in the fall the
Stromberg brothers, Isaac and Samuel, to-
gether with Thomas Kilmet, who were indicted
by the Kings County grand jury on a charge Of
eXtortion, and out on bail. will be
tried. The case Of Marshal Lee is only of
the various steps in the attempt to check and
correct abuses. Finally, there work
number of persons representing various East
Side societies, who are seeking to frame legis-
lation that shall finally remove all possibility of
a recurrence of inStalment evils

QUESTIONS ANGER PASSENGERS
BARON AND BARONESS DE sELLIERE ASKED
IF THEY HAD BEEN IN JAIL
OR POORHOUSE.

The enforcement of the law requiring that
steamship companies shall properly fill out their
passenger manifests responsible for the
anger of 122 of the cabin passengers of the
French steamer La Touraine, which arrived
here yesterday forenoon from Havre. Commits
sioner Williams of the Bureau of immigration
has been filming the companies for infractions of
the law in this respect. and they en-
deavoring to live up to it. The law requires.
among other things, that the steamship officials
shall obtain from every alien cabin we'll as
steerage passenger certain information TO show
their fitness TO land.
This information is supposed to be the same
as that obtained from aliens who come in the
steerage. Some of the questions to which an
swers are required these;
Can you read and write?"
Has your ticket been paid for by yourself
or by a corporation society municipality or
government"
Have you any money!
Have you any more than S30?"
Have you ever been in prison or in A poor
house?"
Are you polygamist?'
Are you a contract laborer?''
Are you deformed Crippled?"
The passengers did not enjoy being Obliged to
answer these questions and two, Julius Esch-
wege and A KOhlman, refused give the MR.
ser the information for which he asked ON
their arrival here, when asked by the boa riding
officers for answers to these and other ques-
tons, they again refused. and threatened to file
a protest in Washington. Commissioner Will
Jams said yesterday that the manifest of the
Touraine excellent one, only three pas
sengers refusing to give the desired nforma-
ton. Among those from whom this nforma tfon
was sought were Baron and Baroness de
Selliere.
