EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDES IN navy.
Lieut. Commander Bronaugh Blows
Out His Brains on The Bat
tIeship Kearsarge.

New York, Sept. 3O.-Lieut. Com
mander William V. Bronaugh of the
United States navy, committed suicide
today on the battleship Kearsarge at
the navy yard by blowing out his
brains with a revolver. Friends of
Commander Bronaugh believe that he
was very much worried over the mani
fold duties OF his position as executive
officer which are considered to be
more ardous than those of any other
position of rank in the navy. P. E.
Harrington, captain of the Brooklyn
navy yard, said:
There is an epidemic of suicides in
the navy as surely as there was ever
an epidemic of fever. Such a thing
may occur, and cannot be explained.
The man probably had been thinking
of other the suicides which are very sad
affairs, and then in an uDguarde1
moment the desire to try it seized him
and it was all over in minute. -
Commander Bronaugh was born in
Kentucky and entered the naval aca-
deny in 1873,

A ResuIt of the High Meat Price.

According to the National Provision
er the high price of corn, the shortage
of good beef cattle and the unavoid-
able high prices of meats during this
year have stirred many soulnolent Sec
tions from their comatose sleep. II
the high prices Of meat and things
have caused this industrial activity
in the east, south and west the country
will be amply repaid for the strain on
its purse, and the cattle shortage
should be thanked rather than lament
ed for the condition it has shown and
the lesson it has taught, also for the
thinking and activity it set going.
The net result is that the south and
the east have determined on stock rails
ING and meat packing; old factory
centers have imbi bed life and evolved
plans for their resuscitation; the feed
ino of beeves and hogs IN the south
and west under new conditions has
been worked out and general activity
in the feed, live stock, meat and pro
vision world is felt everywhere.

INDEMNITY or LONG STANDING.
For Destruction of Merchantmen
in 1884 Spain Sends Payment.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The treasury
department. has begun distribution of
S2S, 500, the sum received from the gov
eminent of Spain, as one Of the annual
payments Of indemnity due under the
treaty of 1884 The continuation Of
these payments is regarded as a
marked evidence of the high sense of
honor cherished by the Spanish peo-
pie in meeting an obligation.
About 1918 some American mer-
chant ships were seized and destroyed
by Spanish national vessels and when
the matter was brought before a tribu-
nal an award was made in favor Of the
United States citizens for the amount
of their losses. The principal was con-
verted by a curious Spanish method in
perpetual rentes, and the Spanish gov
ernment has met the interest on these
with great rgularity ever since the
treaty of 1884
By a rule of, international law war
absolutely e1tinguishes treaties pre-
Tioasly existing between the princi-
pals; but the Spanish government did
not regard itself as thus relieved by its
recent war with the United States and
the only discomfort to which the scrip
holders were subjected was in slight
deferment of two payments during the
war.

the cure and treatment of Consumption
and Throat and Lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these years,
you will be thankful we called your atten-
ton to Boschee's German Syrup. There
areso many ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists and Others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis. Croup-and especially
for Consumption, where there is difficult

With Unshaken Nerve. :

Bronson, Fla, Sept. 30.-Theodore
Smith and Thomas G. E'aircloth, the
young white men who killed the aged
Lewis couple one month ago today
were successfully executed by Sheriff
Sutton this morning. The tap was
sprung at Ii. u o'clock and both necks
were broken.
Fafrcloth was pronounced dead in Is
minutes and Smith in 1215 minutes.
Both men had wonderful nerve and
ascended the scafold with steady step.
They. y.had their cofhns opened and in
spected and commented OH them.
Faircioth remarked that they we're all
right, and both men addressd the i'm
mense crowd with clear and unbroken
voices.
Faircloth vas baptized by Rev. J..
B. Holley of Gainesville in the box
which was to contain his coffin in jail
this morning. Their nerve was beyond
description and there was no excite
ment.
The sons and daughters Of Lewis

of the hanged men were turned over to
relatives for interment Smith had a
young wife and baby. Faircloth was
engaged to be married and just before

The FAMOUS GROpSEi iSsE.
James Wilcox Has Been Granted
a New Trial by the Su-
prene Court.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 3o.-The sup
rene court of North Carolina today
handed down an opinion in the famous
Wilcox was charged with the murder
of Nellie Cropsey in Elizabeth City
last November. The court gives Will
cox new trial.
The case is familiar one to the
public. Nellie Cropsey, beautiful
young girl, disappeared at night from
her home-on Elizabeth City. She had
last been seen with Wilcox, at one
time her sweetheart. Suspicion fell
on him, but he was not arrested.
Thirty-seven days after her body was
found in Pasquotank river, and Wilcox
was arrested was tried and sentenced
to be hanged. He stoutly declared his
innocence and an appeal to the supreme
court was taken.
In granting new trial the supreme
court says the evidence was entirely
circumstantial. The jury does not
seem to have given. the necessary cauti-
Gus and vigilant attention to the eyi-
dence, Or the presentation of the pri-
soner's case by counsel. 1t says that
the conduct of the spectators in and
about the court was sufficient to pre-
JUDGE the jury. No such demonstra-
tions, reads the opinion, were ever
witnessed in our State before''
Among these demonstrations were
people leaving the court room in a
body and the ringing Of a fire alarm.
The court does not find the jury was
inHuopoo5 I,v +hosa thipoc hut viaw-
ing all of this ..disorderly conduct, it
says the trial was not conducted in the
proper form of law, and gives a new
trial to Wilcox, which it says must be
attended by no such demonstrations of
laWlessness and intimidation as were
present on the former OCCASION. The
next term Of the court begins in Pas
quotank county on November II, and
The. case will be heard again at that
time.

A Buenos Ayres Newspaper Wants

Inquire Into Uncle Sans

Buenos Ayres, Sept. 26.-The Prensa
Press, a daily paper of this city, pub
fishes today very violent article
calling attention to the alleged tend
ency of the United States toward i'm
perialisn, which, it says, is illustrat-
ed by the landing of American marines
in Colombia, and protests energetic
ally against it. The paper says the
United States does not exercise any
political protection over South Amer
lea, which will never accept Euro
pean nor North American intervention
in its affairs
The Prena concludes with saying
that the, Argentine Government should
make an inquiry into the matter and
find out the real character of the aims
of the United States, so as to inaugur-
ate a diplomatic movement and pre-
pare for defense, and destroy the idea
of the possibility of any Intervention.

HighWaymen in New York State

Middletown, N. Y, Sept. 3o.-The
stage coach Pioneer, which makes
daily trips between Warwick and
Goshen, was held up and robbed by
three masked horsemen late this after
noon.
The coach was bowling along the
road two miles from Florida, and at
a lonely spot on the road Clinton and
Horatio S. Wisner, who own the coach
and were on it, saw the men on horse
back suddenly emerge from the dense
woods which line the highway
Clinton was driving. The robbers or
dered him to pull up his horses.
This he refused to do and the high
waymen opened fire with revolvers.
None of the shots took effect, but the
shooting had the effect of compelling
the whip to bring his horses to a stop.
In the coach were Mrs. j. A. Cham
berlin, Mrs. Fred Webster, Mrs.
James Fuller, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Ed.
johnson, all of Florida. While two
of the highwaymeh covered the Wisne1
brothers with their revolvers, the
third. using many threats, compelled
the passengers to give up all their
money and valuables.
After the robbery had been completed
the robbers spurred up their horses
and escaped.

Beaufort's Tall Men.

z Dr.. Gould, sanitary commissioner
of the United States army, recently
made statement to the effect shat the
tallest men who fought in the civil
war were from Indiana. Out of
11S.254 soldiers from the Hoosier
State, on the Federal side, the war re-
cords show l,547 TO have been 5 feet 10
inches in height; 8. 706, 5 feet Il in
ches; 6, 729, even 6 feet; 2, 614, 6 feet
inch; 1857, 6 feet inches, and 336
above 6 feet 8 inches.
These claims, made by DIR. Gould,
according to information obtained
yesterday from Major E. Willis, form
erly of Gen.. Beauregard's staff, go
TOO far. The Charleston veteran has
figures in his possession showing that
the tallest men IN the Confederate
army were from Beaufort. If the re-
cords were thoroughly searched iti be-
Eeved that the Palmetto State will be
entitled to the palm now claimed by
Indiana. Here are some of the human
sky-scrapers from Beaufort who fought
for the Southern cause.
Capt. George Cuthbert, 6feet inch !;
Capt. II. NJ. Stuart, 6 fest l inch !;
Capt. Paul Hamilton, feet 2 inches !:
John Rhodes, g feet 3 inches ;
DR.. Benjamin Fishburne, 6 feet 4
inches; William Fickling, 6 feet 5
inches; j. G.. Y. Pope, s feet 6
inches: Capt. Edward Fickling, now
OF the Columbia police department., 6
feet inches. and last. but not short
est, Joseph Rasell, who stood even Z
feet in his stockings.
Major Willis stated yesterday that
one day during the war the following
giants from Beaufort, whose names are
not given, spent the day in this city
and all registered at the same hotel
The lowest in stature feet 8 inches !:
the next, 6 feet inches; the third,
6 feet inches, and the last, 6 feet
Z inches.
If the above does not satisfy even a
sceptical Imagination that Beaufort is
prolific in tall men, the following
statement by the Major will clinch the
argument he makes that this State,
and especially the seagun City, is
entitled to any bouquets distributed
for the production of modern Goliaths: !:
"In 1924 Or 1925, when Gen. La
fayete visited the United States, the
Beaufort Artillery paraded in his hon
or. Capt. Cuthbert, 6 feet l inch,
was centre file. Out Of the $50 men
in line, IA we're taller than Capt.
Cuthbert. 1t is claimed that Beaufort
has produced more men of exceptional
height than any town double its num-
Der of inhabitants in the United
States. Beaufort probably had the
tallest men in either the Confederate
or the Union army. News and Cou-
rier.

BURGLARS 1T FORT MILL.
Bank Dynamited and Six TO Ten
Thousand Dollars Stolen.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 3o.-The
Fort Mill Savings bank of Fort Mil,
S. c., Is miles from Charlotte, was
dynamited at an early hour this morn
ing and it is estimated that between
six and ten thousand dollars were
stolen. An entrance was effected
through the front door of the bank and
the vault and safe doors successfully
drilled and dynamited. A clock on
the wall Of the banking room had stop
ped at 8. 55 this morning, evidently in
dicating the time of the explosion.
The bank officials refuse to make a
statement as to the extent Of their
loss. A large amount of paper money
was found torn to shreds by the force
of the explosion. The robbers are
thought to have been professionals.
There is no clue to the perpetrators
of the deed.

A western moralist has made a pub
lie speech In which he compared the
public men of the present with those
of the past and declares that Clay,
Webster and Calhoun were drunkards
and gamblers and thereby caused some
sensation. The legend is that Mr..
Clay did play cards for money at every
opportunity and apparently there is
no doubt that Mr.. Webster was given
to brandy far more than was good for
him. Probably they pursuaded them
selves, as many brilliant and hard
working men do-and many others
who are not brilliant out believe
themselve to be-that liquor and the
excitement of. gaming we're re'neeessary to
develop their best powers. Mr.. Cal
houn, however, was living ard pres
ent contradiction of that theory. He
had the reputation of man Of pure
personal life and correct habits. A
dim and vague scandal rejecting OF
his moral character was sprung in a
strange way about twenty years ago,
thirty odd years after his death, but
the older people in South Carolina
who remembered him most intimately
and had known him well rejected it
as the freak of man temporarily
deranged. News.

New York, Sept. 3o.-The head of
the coal railroads were in conference
today at one of the weekly meetings
of the Temple Iron company of which
they compose the board Of directors.
Before John Markle went into the
meeting he was asked as to the truth
of the report that President Mitchell
had been in conference in Philadelphia
with a representative of the operators
and J. P. Morgan.
''It is not true," said Mr.. Markle,
for if representative of the opera
tors and Mr.. Morgan had been there I
would be in position to know it, and
I have heard nothing of the kind. :"
The coal situation in New York is
today more serious than at any time
since the strike OF the anthracite
miners. Instead of 150, 600 tons, usual
ly in stock at this time of the year,
there are about 2, 600 tons of hard coal.
In tenement districts the price is Is
cents bushel, which is at the rate Of
S25 a ton.
President Baer was asked today if
there would be enough coal in this
city to supply the demand before win
ter sets in.
"Oh, certainly he said, this idea
that there is going to be scarcity of
coal this winter is simply a scare.
There will be plenty of coal in New
York before the cold weather"
