NEGRO HIGHIVAYNAN
MET DEATH IN BAR.
Killed by Man He Tried to Rob
and Murder.
in SOUND OF POLICE STATION
Negro Entered Saloon, Demanded Al
Money in Drawer, and Fired Two
Shots al Proprietor Before Re
ceiving the Fatal Shot.
IN SOUND OF POLICE STATION

After being shot at twice, at such short
range that the powder from the pistols
smoking muzzle burned into his face and
ear, Paul Cecchini, a saloon keeper at
No. 424 East Marshall Street drew his
revolver from beneath MS bar this morn
ing about 80 O'Clock and killed an un-
known negro who rad entered his place
and demanded that all the money in the
cash register be turned over to him.
The attempted hod-up was one of the
boldest and most deliberate ever known
in the city. The scene of the tragedy
is within one block OF the Second Police
Station, where TIE firing vas distinctly
heard by the sergeant on duty.
PRISONERS STORY.
According to the story told by Cccchini
to the officers and Coroner Taylor while
in the bar a short While after the shoot
ing. the negro entered his place about
1:15 o'clock. and finding only the saloon
keeper in the place. stepped behind the
bar. and. showing blue steel pear-han-
died pistol in his face. demanded that
he be given all the money III the drawer.
Before the Italian had time TO speak the
negro fired the first shot, the bail evi-
dentis passing within less than an inch
OF his head. The second shot, which
was aimed lower. passed within a teW
inches of the proprietors waist. In the
smoke. and with the heat of the negro's
gun on his check, Cecchini reached be-
meath his counter and. drawing "a So
calihre revolver, pumped one ball into
the negro's right lung, which meant
his death. After being shot the negro
ran from the bar, going west along
Marshall until near the corner of Fourth,
where he fell and died within a few min
utes.
SPOKE NOT "A WORD
He spoke to no one, though a t his death
he was surrounded by officers and the
ambulance surgeons. No one knew the
negro, and nothing was found on his
person by which he could be identified.
Immediately after the snootlng Cecchini
was arrested by Officers Bryant E. j.
Bradley and Wiley. all of whom We're
within hearing CT the shots, and though
in different directions. not one of them
was more than block away. He was
lodged in the Second Police Station and
will be given a preliminary hearing to-
day, when he will probably be dis
charged.
Coroner TAYLOR reviewed the remains
this moning early. and Will hold an IN
quest this afternoon at O'Clock.
The negro killed was a powerful man.
being about five feet ten inches tall and
weighing over. 175 pounds. He was black,
with. heavy lips low forehead. having
a mean brutal countenance

Advertising the Exposition.

Advertising Car No. 8, of the
Charleston Exposition was in the city
for several. hours last Saturday, and
after arranging for large display of
handsome lithorgaphs and other at
tractive advertising matter, the car
vas attached to the local freight and
proceeded to Darlington. The car is
under the management Of Mr.. Harry
Clifton and associated with him is
Ar. W. E. Kyle, special agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line. The car will
stop at all towns on the Coast Line
South of Fayetteville, n. c., and the
Exposition will be thoroughly and
effectively advertised in each place.
The advertising matter distributed
and placed on bill boards is unusually
attractive and cannot fail to be pro-
ductive of good results in the way of
drawing increased crowds to the Expo
sition. Car No. 3, has already visited
number of points in Georgia and
South Carolina, and at every stop
great interest was manifested in the
Exposition. Unless all signs fail there
will be immense crowds in Charleston
throughout the Spring.

There is plan on foot to sell or
lease the South Carolina and Georgia
Extension r. R. Three C's) to the
Southern Railway, and there is a
likelihood of the deal being consum-
mated. The S. G.. & G. Extension is
in serious condition financially and
is not earning operating expenses and
sufficient to keep the roadway in a
safe condition. It is stated that the
deficit for the past ten months
amounts to s35, 900, and that not less
than 500, 600 is required for imme-
diate necessary repairs. 1t is thought
that bv consolidating the road with
the Southern operating expenses can
be materially reduced, business large
" increased and the property put on a
having basis. There is no doubt but
that the physical condition of the road
would be improved and the service
made better if it should be acquired
by the Southern. There is. however,
more or less opposition to the deal by
reople living on the line of the road
because of the fact that the purchase
of the road by the Southern would
terminate for all time railroad COM
petition in that section Of the State.

Lodge, No. II, Knights Of Pythias,
is in the city for the purpose of ar

purpose being present on Pythian Day
at the Exposition. DR.. Holman gives
very enthusiastic accounts Of the inter
est which is being manifested by the
Knights of his city in the proposed
Pythian Day celebration, and gives
it as his opinion that upwards of 125
Knights will come in on the special
coaches which be has arranged for.
The delegation from Sumter will be
headed by Past Grand Chancellors
Altamont Moses and H. Frank Wilson,
and the car On which the Pythians
travel will be decorated with all the
bunting aud banners which the town
of Sumter can supply.
It is likely that arrangements will
be made by the Knights of Mayesville,
Timmonsville, Georgetown, Bishop
vile and Camden to make connections
with and come to Charleston on this
special train.
DR.. Holman, while in the city, had
conference with the chairman of the

Letter From the Citadel.

The monthly examinations for Janu-
ary were concluded today and we have
dispelled, all anxiety from our minds:
However only chose cadets who lead
their respective classes, striving to
continue to do so. and those who bring
up the rear, trying to make a general
average are worried during examina-
ton. Some are in the happy medium.
It was our misfortune to experience
fire in the building some weeks ago.
The battalion was at mess when the
fire was discovered and it was immedi-
ately marched out by the senior cap
tain in charge. Though the fire
ragged, every man held his place in
ranks until orders were given by the
commandant of cadets and the COM
mand for dismissal was given. They
are to- be complimented for their sol
dierly conduct. For time it appear
ed that the western extremity of the
building would be lost, but the quick
work, so characteristic of the Charles
ton Fire Department soon mastered
the flames. Unluckily our lamps were
destroyed by the fire and at the call
to quarters forty-fve minutes after
wards the dim Pickering of candles
substituted for lamps was the only in
dication that anything out of the US
ual order had happeed. One would be
surprised at the discipline and regu-
larity fostered within the walls of the
Citadel.
1t was the pleasure as we'll as the
privilege of Co. A. to hear the Rev.
H. H. Covington, of Sumter, preach
before the congregation of st. PauPs
Episcopal Church on last Sunday.
His text, whence hath this man all
these things was well developed. In
his discourse he touched On the luck
haustible 'Sermon On the Mount. +"
In word, the man, the cause and the
occasion conspired to render the ser
vices very beautiful. The sermon was
exceptionally good and it rs safe to say
that all in attendance left with q
broader and more noble idea of the
character, life and work of our Savior.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. GA leap of
smoking ruins is all that remains to
day of the Atlantic hotel, the massive.
Columbia Office building which ad-
joined the hotel, the Albemarle fats
and a block of stores in 9he centre of
the city. The confagration, one of
the greatest in the history of Norfolk,
broke out shortly before o'clock this;
morning and when finally subdued over
half million of dollars worth of prop
erty had been destroyed. The loss is
believed to be fully covered by insur-
ance. The flames started in the Co.
lumbia, which is the largest but one
of Norfolk's Office buildings.
