and Excitement Among Children
A Russian leading a big white Si-
berian bear passed through Whining
ton today, and the once common. but
now rare. spectacle caused much in
terest. The animal and its owner
were both interesting objects.
The man was a typical Russian, Of
the lower class. as shown in pictures.
The bear was a big, lazy looking fellow
with a dirty, shaggy name. He had
a muzzle on. and was led along at the
end of a rope.
AS the pair made their way up the

stared at them. Timid little girls ran
screaming 10 their mothers, while the

found in Smyrna yesterday by an
Evening Journal reporter and shown a
photograph of the negro who had con-
fessed to killing Mrs. Aida Collins on
April 12. AS soon as Franklin saw the
photograph he said:
"Yes, that's Waite Sipple"
''You are sure that he was here on
the day of the funerals? he was asked
Eyes, SIR"
"Will you go with me to Georgetown
tomorrow and identify him?"
Il don't know about that, sir, for
have got heap of work to do"
well, do you think that your work
is of more Importance than saving
this mans life"
That's so, sir, and l will go with
you, but my old feet are sore and
can't walk much"
Il will have a hack here to take you
to the train and there will be a hack
at the other end to take you to the
Jail"
IT'S strange ground to me, and If you
don't stick by me. l will get lost" The
reporter promised to stick by him. -
This morning, accompanied by the
old colored man, the representative of
the Evening Journal left Smyrna at
1926 O'Clock and arrived in Georgetown
at 11.3O.
Officer Was Courteous
Without the least hesitation
Deputy Sheriff Marsh admitted
the old man and the re-
porter into the cell occupied by the
negro, and there was an exchange of
greetings that dispelled all doubts
from the sheriff's mind as to the iden-
tity of the prisoner.
Waite was not overly talkative, but
he showed that he recognized his step
father. He asked after his half sister,
Viola Franklin.
Many Recognize Photograph
While in Smyrna a number of per-
sons who saw Waite in that town on
April IL and u recognized the photo
graph as that of the crazy bicyclist
who had created so much excitement
while there.
Chief of Police Turner said it looked
very much like the negro that he saw
on the Saturday that Mrs. Alexander
Wilson was buried in Smyrna.
What time in the day did you see
him." the chief was asked.
1T was a little after l O'Clock in the
afternoon"
Mary Fisher, colored, saw Waite at
.6 o'clock on Saturday morning in
East street. She called her husband s
attention to him. for she thought ii
was Jerry Jones, a Smyrna colored
man, but her husband said it was a
stranger. y
Edith Lumm, colored, of East street
identified the photograph in an in
slant as the man who came into her
yard and acted queerly on April u.
Joseph Cummins, special police Of
feed. was not sure whether the photo.
graph was that OF the crazy bicycle
rider who visited Smyrna on the day
Of the Wilson funeral or not. He sal,
he would be able to recognize him Il
he saw him in person. He is sure
though, that there was a strange negro
in town on that date. and that he had
bicycle, and was riding around the
town creating disturbances.
Harry ID. Boyer, a prominent mer-
chant of Smyrna, also is said 60 have
noticed the strange colored man OF
Saturday morning. April -.

WELL CONSTABLED.
Police Cost Less Than Soldiers In the
Philippines.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The war de-
partment made public today report
of Capt. Henry T. Allen, Sixth cavalry,
dated Manila, Dec. Is, concerning the
Philippine constabulary, of which he
is chief. Captain Allen says the con-
stabulary consisted of $500 men, and
was able to control, without the aid of
troops, the provinces of Abra, Bontoc,
Union, Lepanto, Bouquet, Nueva Wis.
caya, Bataan, Principe and Infanta.
Up to the date OF the report there had
been only two men lost from the force
by desertion-a showing attributed to
the care in the selection of the men.
Captain Allen says that experience
has shown that the cost of a single
constable for one year does not eX-
coed $3.50 gold, while the cost of main
tanning an American soldier ordinarily
is reckoned at about $1,000. Captain
Allen states that in chasing down the
robber bands the constabulary unques-
tionably is more efficient than the
American troops, and, while one large
garrison in many of the provinces may
be always necessary, it is his opinion,
after thorough study of conditions,
that in one years time $4,000 Ameri-
can soldiers, with the native contin-
gent Of troops and the constabulary,
will suffice to garrison the Philippine
archipelago.

WANT U. S. TO INTERVENE
Rep. Cochran Receives Letter From
Boer Delegates - Believe England
Would Not Dare Refuse to Send Del.
eaates to Congress Of Powers.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Rep. Cochran
Of Missouri two weeks ago introduced
resolution inviting Paul Kruger to
visit the United States as the guest
of this country. Yesterday Mr.. Coch'
ran received a letter signed by three
members of the Boer delegation quar-
tered at Brussels thanking him and
all who are supporting his efforts for
the noble interest they are taking in
the two Boer republics, The letter re-
views, from the Boer standpoint, the
causes which led up to the war and de-
clares that Great Britain invented
pretext after pretext to bring on the
conflict, and that her whole purpose
was to secure the extensive gold
mines of the Transvaal in pursuance
Of a settled national policy to control
all gold mines wherever possible,
either by purchase or seizure, in order
that Great Britain may command the
worlds industries. The letter in clos
ing appeals to heroic and generous
America" to intervene in behalf OF the
Beers, and says: -.
Since England will not permit
friendly Intervention, invite her TO
congress of the nations and see wheth'
er such a congress, called in the In
terest of peace, will be ignored. Eng
land would not dare to refuse to at
tend such congress If called e5 the
United States and participated in by
four or five of the great powers.
1.-THE maxims of your republic
equality Justice liberty - have
been the chief means of building the
great republic, and it's highest purpose
should be the preservation of other
lands whose people aspire to similar
blessings. We shall continue to hope
that you and other members OF your
congress, whose hearts have been
touched by the noble sacrifices and
brave deeds Of the people of our re
publics, may prevail upon your great
country to undertake the termination
of the war in South Africa"

ANDREWS is IN JAIL.
Ex-Commissioner of Police and Bank
Wrecker Could Not Get Bail.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 17.-For a Sec
ond time since his downfall, Frank c.
Andrews, vice-president of the City
Savings bank and ex-police commits.
sioner, finds himself under arrest, and
this time behind the bars of the jail.
About noon on Saturday a warrant
charging Andrews with misappropri-
ating funds belonging to the City Saw
ings bank, to the extent of $500, 900,
was placed in the hands of Detective
Lombard. The warrant was immedi-
ately served. Then began a search by
Andrewss friends to secure bonds
men, bail having been fixed at SIS, 900.
The search lasted all the afternoon,
but without avail. No one was willing
to vouch for the appearance in court
OF this once great leader OF the finan-
cial circles of Detroit.
That the drop in Amalgamated cap
per stock was the cause of Frank &.
Andrews's downfall is given additional
testimony in the warrant on which he
was sent to the county jail Saturday.
1t had been supposed that nearly all
OF Andrewss alleged shady work in
wrecking the City Savings bank was
done within a week or ten days before
the doors of the institution were
closed, but the Investigations of the
prosecuting attorney show that An
drews had begun TO sink before last
Christmas, and the particular trans
action upon which the warrant was
based took place Dec. IS, 1901.
1t was on that day that Andrews is
accused Of having deposited in the
City Savings bank two checks aggre-
eating 100000, and upon which he
took out of the bank an equal amount
in cash.
A further interesting fact may be
seen in the newspaper files of Dec IS.
1t was on that day that the last re-
port Of the City Savings bank was
published. That report, however. was
based upon the condition o. the bank
as it was found Dec. 10.
Detroit. Mich, Feb. 19.-Revelations
OF the methods of Frank G.. Andrews
in juggling with the credit and the
manipulation Of his account at the
City Savings bank have just been
made, which throw new light upon the
bluff ne maintained. A glimpse of his
bank account offers the startling fact
that long before the slump in Amalga-
mated, as far back as Jan. 2, 1901, the
fallen financier had figures like $780,
900 against his name in excess OF his
deposits.

ATLANTIC COAST sMowEoUND,
Big Blizzard Strikes the East With
Terrific Force.

New York, Feb. 1S.-New York city
has borne the brunt of the fiercest
snow storm that has struck this sec
ton Of the country since the great
blizzard of 1888. Beginning soon after
Sunday midnight the storm increased
rapidly until by daybreak the whole
city was completely showed under.
Communication between Manhattan
and Brooklyn was subject to long de-
lay. The ferry boats with difficulty
made trips across the fce-choked riv-
ers, and the work of tugboats, lighters
and shipping generally was almost at
a standstill. So heavy was the snow
fall that the loading Of vessels was
stopped, it being impossible TO keep
the matches open.
Advices received last night from
points in New Jersey show that the
great blizzard has been felt from Ber-
gen county to Cape May and from At
lantic City to Camden. The latest adj
vices are that during the evening the
storm abated considerably, the snow
having ceased to fall and the wind
having decreased in velocity.
Eighteen inches Of snow fell in Os-
shining, N. Y, and drifts six feet high
are common today. Trolley service
was abandoned by noon. Country
roads are closed.
Boston, Feb. 18.-After an unpre ce-
dented stretch of clear weather, dating
back to Candlemas day, New England
was blanketed yesterday with foot
of wet snow and swept by northeast
gale. This onslaught of the elements
impeded traffic and carried down the
telegraph and teleDhOne wires so that
many important points were cut off.

STRIKERS observation-disclosures.
Situation in Barcelona Assumes Form
of War.


Barcelona, Feb. 19.-Rioting was re-
newed here last evening and crowds
of strikers paraded the streets doing
extensive damage. The troops charged
them repeatedly, but only succeeded
in dispensing them on opening fire.
The strikers then assembled in large
numbers in the outskirts of the city.
1t was feared they meditated an at
tack upon the factories. Troops have
proceeded to the factories to be in
readiness for an emergency.
serious collision between the
troops and the strikers occurred Tues
day at San Martin, village in the
suburbs. Here the troops fred on the
mob, killing three and wounding six.
At Badalena the mob attacked the
gendarmes and the cavalry, who were
protecting the street car service, and
a serious melee followed, in which one
person was killed and three were
wounded. At Sabadell, also in the sub
urbs, the strikers burned the Octro
tax offices and convent.
Troops have been sent to Sabadell
and to other places to suppress the
disorders.
Madrid, Feb. 19.-The strike move.
ment threatens to involve the whole Of
the province of Catalonia. The strict
censorship maintained makes it diff
cult to get accurate news OF the occur
renee. The chief aim or the strikers
at Barcelona seems to be to prevent
the sale of food. The slaughter houses
are filled with meat, which the strik-
ers prevent from being delivered to
the shops. Similar conditions exist in
the other food markets, with the re-
suit that prices are rising and a fam
inc is feared. 1t is believed the strik-
ers have secreted stores Of provisions.

Blssfleld, Mich, Feb. 4o.-About 1
o'clock Monday morning the infant
daughter OF Dr.. +. G.. Krumling died
suddenly Thirty minutes afterward
the young mother went into a bed
room. An instant later the doctor
heard a pistol shot and rushed in to
find his wife dying from a self-.nflicted
wound
1t appears that the child fell from
a chair, striking on it's head and dy-
ing afterward, in spite of the most as
siduous medical attention, from con-
cussion of the brain. The mothers
grief was pitiable and was increased
by feeling of remorse, as she be-
lieved that her lack of precaution had
been responsible for the child's death.
She brooded over the matter, and
while her husband was in another part
Of the house she banished her sister
from the room where she was sleep
ing, shut the door and shot herself, dyN
ing almost instantly.
