Citizen I'm Answer to Two Regarding
tho appointment of DIR. Crum as COL
Iector Of That Port-The Door of OPP
portunity aud of Hope Must Not be
Shut 20 Any Man Upon the Grounds c f
Race or Color.
Washington, Nov. 27.-The president
has sent the following communication
to a prominent citizen of Charleston,
S. c.:
Personal:
White House. Washington, Nov. 25, 1902.
My dear sir:
am in receipt of your letter of No
vember 10 and of one from Mr.. -
under date Of November II in reference
to the appointment of DR.. Crum as COL
lector Of the port Of Charleston.
In your letter you make certain spe-
cific charges against DIR. Crum, tending
to show his unfitness in several respects
for the office sought. These charges are
entitled to the utmost consideration
from me, and I shall go over them
carefully before taking any action. Af-
ter making these charges you add, as a
further reason for opposition to him,
that he Is colored man, and after re-
citing the misdeeds that followed carpet
bag rule and negro domination in South
Carolina, you say that 1--WE have sworn
never again to submit to the rule of
the African, and such an appointment
as that of DR.. Crum to any such office
forces us to protest unanimously
against this insult to the white blood" 3"
and you add that you understood me to
say that I would never force negro on
such community as yours Mr.. -
put the objection Of color first, saying,
First, he is a colored man, and that
of itself ought to bar him from the Of
fice." I view of these last statements
I think ought to make clear to you
why I am concerned and panied by

dians Defeat Georgetown.
Philadelphia, Nov 27.-The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football eleven to-
day defeated the Cornell team by the
score of IL to II. The Ithacans kicked
a goal from placement and scored a
touchdown from which a goal resulted
in the first half, while Pennsylvania
scored two touchdowns and kicked two
goals in the second half. Never has a
more intensely exciting and uncertain
contest been witnessed on Franklin
Field. Until the final blast of the ref
eree's whistle announced the cessation
of hostilities, there was painful un-
certainty in the hearts of the Pennsyl
NolAAcb supporters AOIIlSII udu luIICS
carried the ball dangerously near Penn
sylvania's goal and once over it. An
other touchdown or an opportunity for
a second goal from placement would
probably mean defeat for the local
eleven. But as the time drew near for
the close of the contest Pennsylvania
play became more fierce while that of
! Cornell grew correspondingly weak and
the game ended with the ball in Cor
nell's possession on her 25 yard line.
There was scarcely moment during
the seventy minutes struggle that there
was not something occurring.
Spectacular runs, sensational tackles
! and terrific line plunges came with
such frequency that the spectators
were kept almost continually bobbing
up and down in their seats. Both
teams played brilliantly. Pennsyl-
vania's offense was superior to that of
Cornell, and her defense, particularly
within ten minutes of the close of the
game has never been excelled by
Pennsylvania eleven. When the two
elevens trotted on for the second half
the score stood II to in favor of Cor
nell and there were few Pennsylvanians
who dared hope for victory.
Gardiner of Pennsylvania kicked off
to Coffin of Cornell, on the latter's 1S
yard line and Coffin ran the ball back
25 yards before being thrown. Penn
sylvania was given the ball for hold
ing and carried it from Cornelrs 3S
yard line to her 25 yard mark. She
was forced to kick. Brewster of Cor
nell returned the punt, Pennsylvania
securing the ball on her S5 yard line.
The Pennsylvania players then began q
terrible onslaught on the Cornell line,
and in three minutes Torrey had scored
touchdown, from which Gardiner
kicked a goal.
Then began what proved to be the
sensational period of the days play.
Cof1in's kick was returned by Bennett
of Pennsylvania to the latter's 35 yard

GREATEST CATTLE RANCH.
Millions of Acres of Mexican Land
Bought by Americans.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 27.-The pur-
chase of millions of acres of Mexican
territory along the border of the United
States for the purpose of creating one
of the largest cattle-raising ranches in
the world is the result of recent negoti-
ations of American capitalists, with
Utah men as principals. The land COM
prises nearly 1900 square miles of ter
ritory and extends along the border for
159 miles from a point sixteen miles
west of El Paso, Texas. The purchase
involves an initial expenditure of s21,-
100000. 1t is the intention of the pro-
moters to make the ranch breeding
ground for cattle, and for this purpose
they will place from 1900 to 10000 COWS
thereon next season.

have been earnestly opposed by the To-
cal clergy and humane society, was

officers were satisfied. An audience of

STRICKEN CATTLE.

Half a Hundred Sick I'm Vicinity of
LittIetoM Mass.
Littleton, Mass, Nov. 27-Fully half
a hundred cattle in this vicinity are af-
fected with the disease of the feet and
mouth which is causing boards of ag-
riculture and state veterinary officials
much anxiety at the present time. The
trouble broke out less than week ago
and has spread rapidly. The contagion
first appeared in the stable of E. W.
whitney among cattle which had come
into contact with no other animals of
their kind for months. In some other
cases, however, it is claimed that the
disease can be indirectly traced along
a line of cattle brought from the Brigh-
ton stock yards.

Opinion OF the Massachusetts Cattle
mission.

Boston, Nov 27.-The Massachusetts
cattle commission, after investigation,
believes that the foot and mouth dis
ease was brought to Brighton from the
neighborhood of Cumberland R. l., and
that it was due to the cows called
"strippers.' These "strippers" are
cows which are highly fed for eighteen
months without being allowed to calve
in order to obtain an abnormal milk
supply. The animals are then fattened
for slaughter, and these unusual meth
ods have a tendency to bring on dis

It seems certain now fhat the
electric railway out of Sistersville
will be built soon. Henry Schmul
bach, the Wheeling millionaire
brewer and politician, has taken
large interest In the road and 1t is
thought 1t will be built as far as
Middlebourne this season. It Is the
ultimate intention to extend 1t
across the country TO Pennsboro.
It will be short line from one rail-.
road to the other and will pass
through oil fields where there Is
much travel nearly all the way.
Just above Slstersville, on the
Ohio side of the river, Is small
farm known as the Stewart farm,
which 1t Is said has pueducedA over
a million dollars worth of oil since
1t was first struck In the vicinity of
Sistersville. The farm was small
and lease on 1t might have been
had for a song few years back, or
a few thousand dollars would have
bought 1t outright. It was finally
taken up and the golden fluid has
been flowing out In rivers ever
since. The wells are Sill pTcdac-
Ing and there Is no limit n sight to
what 1t will produce before 1t Is

ferent Account OF the killing Of

formerly policeman and constable
at st. Marys.
1t appears that Riggs drove up
to the door of Mr.. Gregg and the
woman who was with him tried to
go into the home but was repulsed
by Gregg, and told that she was
not wanted there. She then went
back to the buggy and told her hus.

In, and broke down two doors to
make the entrance, fourishing a
revolver. Gregg, tried to get out Of
his road, but Riggs followed him
from room to room, swearing he
intended to kill the whole family
Gregg finally ran into room. where

Riggs the contents. Riggs man.
aged to get back to his bug
gy and he and the woman
drove off, but Riggs died before
reaching home. Gregg heard of
the death soon after and becoming
alarmed for fear of mob violence,
he came here as soon as possible
and gave himself up. Mr.. Woods
placed him In jail and then tele-
phoned to st. Marys to ascertain
the truth of the affair. All of the
County officers at the time hap
pened to be out at Riggs holding
an inquest, but a lawyer of st.
Marys answered Mr.. Woods, say
irg, $50 lar as known, Gregg had
given substantially the facts of the
case"
Gregg, informed your correspon-
dent, that Riggs and the woman
had broken into a house before
reaching his place where there was
sick lady lying In bed and -four
ished revolver over her swearing
that they intended to kill her and
and then come on up and kill Gregg
and his family. Gregg also stated
that small part of his property
was In Peasants and that he pays
taxes on his household goods there,
but on his building and land he
pays taxes In tHis county. Riggs
died near 10 o'clock, some four or
FIVE hours after he was shot.
Gregg was terribly worked up
and excited and while he was re-
lating bis story to Mr.. Wood, cried.
He said that Riggs had great
many followers who travelled In his
footsteps and he was fearful that a
mob would be raised by them to
take his life.
Several persons here know Mr..
