The Columbia Record says there is
considerable understanding among
the newspapers Of the country in re-
gard to that $50 l26 war claim which
Senator Tillman secured recently from
the government and the Philadelphia
Press recently stated that the sum
grew out Of claim in 1912 on which
only 81 cents was due. This mis-
understanding grew out of statement
made by the auditor Of the treasury
IN regard to Il claim which the govern
mcnt had against this state for destroy
ing government property in Charleston
at the beginning Of the civil war. The
anditor stated that if this claim was
paid by the state u balance of 81 cents
would be due. No attention was
paid to the claim however.

Richter who was bound, gagged and
tortured by his company Lieutenant

dier died. His mother appealed to
the president to have the lieutenant

being published resulted from drink.

s:Vcry Seriously Injured.

!
Thesupreme court has lately affirm
ed q decision OF the circuit court in
oranBeburg, awarding u verdict Of
SO, 0O0:to the plaintiff, in the case of
Annie B. Carroll VS.. the Charleston
and Mashore Railroad company. This
case SIS quite al interesting one aud
has beer thoroughly investigated I'M
der tile law, having been three times
brought to trial in the lower court,
and then appealed by the railway com
pany.
Onthe 23rd of August, 1893, there
was to be Il dance ut the Isle of Palms.
NliSSECarroll left Charleston, attend
ed tho dance and returned when 1t
was over. On the way back she alleges
thatywhilc leaving the Mount Pleasant
wharf TO board the fcrryboat she fell
through hole in the wharf and into
the water and was rescued ouly with
great difficulty. The complaint fur
therIallcges that though it was at tho
time, Of the accident about l. 80 a. m.
thatIthere was no light on the wharf,
and thns 1t was that she failed to see
the hole in the planking. III
Miss Carroll claimed that she suf-
fercd so from sickness and from shock,
caused by her sudden plunge and from
remaining In her wet clothing until
she got home, that she was practically
incapacitatcd from ever earning her
living again. She asked from tho
railway company for her disability
$4,000, and in addition $3.50, which
She had paid the physician who at
tended her. Five thousand dollars
was also demanded because OF the
negligence of the company.
In answering the complaint the rail
way company said that Miss Carroll
had. left the regular passagcway and
climbed over pile Of lumber, placed
especially for the purpose OF guarding
persons from the hole in the wharf.
The case was brought up in Charles
ton In November, 1899, before Judge
Gage, but resulted In a mistrial It
was again brought up in November,
1900, In Charleston, before Judge Bu-
chatlan with the same result. 1t was
then transferred, on motion OF the
plaintiffs attorneys, to Crangcburg,
where 1t was heard in May, 1902, he
forl,Judge Gage
The -: jury at that time, after hear
Ing gus, eyl9ence II: rendered "a verdict
ot SaS0, 900 For Miss Carroll. Tie Ge-
fensc then asked for new trial on
the ground o.: excessive damages, and
Judge Gage sustained this motion,
recommending a new trial unless the
plaintiff should remit $4,000 Of The
vcrdictrcndcred. The attorneys for
the defense appealed on the ground
that Judge Gage should have granted
new trial without the option Of the
reduction or the verdict. The case
was heard by Judges Pope, Gary and
Jones, and the decision affirmed.

ON CHl1CCo STREET.
Tho Crusade Aeaint Charleston Blind
Tigers are in,Earnest.

b l. sla i . j. . r = :
The Charleston correspondent of The
State says Governor Tillman- once
ordered the dispensary constable to
raise hell on Chicco street," Sub
stitute establishments" for the last
word of the order and then some idea
may be had of the manner OF the war
fare the constables have begun, start
ing first with the East Bay and Mar
ket street places of the famous king
OF the blind Tigers. It was stated that
all the blind tiger, are to be similarly
dealt with and t!,, work was started
with Chicco's est bl.shments.
a gallon miohn OF corn whiskey
was found In room over Chiccu,s
restaurant and bar and this was con.
sidered ample evidence to raid and dis.
mantle the places. Chicco indignant
ly denied Thursday that that i Q. cent
corn whiskey" was his. He said that
it belonged to a b0arder, and every
body knows that don't sell that sort
OF stuff. You get good goods here.
AT all events, when the dismantling
process started, Chicco asked that he
be permitted to remove the fixtures
and furnishings himself, VIII oh was
allowed by IIowie, and the sounds of
the say and hammer took the place of
the ciinking of the glasses and pop
ping OF corks at the well known and
much frcquentcd places Thursday.
The fixtures will be stored for future
use. ChiccO expressed his Willingness
to quit the retail business, provided
the other tigers were similarly dealt
with, and he said that Chief IIowic
promised to dismantlc all the other
places in the Same way.
ChiccO said that he would have left
Charleston long ago If it were not for
his holdings Of property here. lie
said that even now he is willing to
leave, provided any one will purchase
all of his property. He is willing to
knock off 20 per cent. OF its value ia
close out. Chicco declares that he has
always condcuted a decent place and
he can not understand why the con
stables should have swooped down on
him in the manner that they did. His
fellow violatorS believe that Chiccos
trials are largely The result of his ap.
peal for leniency in the enforcement
OF the act. attracting attention 10 his
ownviolation OF the law. At all events,
he wants the other dealers to share
the same fate, and the constables say
that the raid is the beginning of a
general dismantling Of the bars over
the city.

. "A Singular Incident.

!. Rev. w. w: Waddell, Il Presbyterian
missionary in Brazil, arrived in New
York on the 18th, having made Il
journey Of 600n miles to be treated, as
l'he believed for a cancer growth in
the jawbone. The patient was exa-

and to his astonishmenta and relief was
informed that the trouble was not a
cancer but decayed tooth. A visit
to dentistconfirmed the diagnosis of
the specialist, and the missionary
was speedily relieved Of pain and fears.
So the man had not only gone vast

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
"A Little Boy Fell Thirty Feet Into
IN Unused Wen.

In an open well, 30 feet deep, for
fifteen hours, without any means of
escape, was the narrowing experience
OF Henry Miller, the sevcn-year-od
son OF S. G. Miller, Il machnist for
the National Furniture company, who
lives at - Ponders avenue.
The child fell in the well about s
o'clock Saturday morning, and was
not found until II o'clock that night,
cold, injured and almost unconscious.
1e had made desperate efforts to get
out OF the we'll, having dug steps in
the dirt half way up to the surface,
only to fall back again.
The well into which the boy had
fallen was on the property Of the
Ware Furniture company, on West
Fourth street, about ore hundred and
fifty yards from the residence Of the
boys father A building OF the com
pany was burned some time ago, and
since that time there has been moth.
ing on the property.
About 8 O'Clock Saturday morning
while flying his kite, the boy fell into
the we'll. He was running backward
at the time and did;not know Of the
opening. He stumbled backward and
fell to the bottom without anything
to brake the force of the fall. There
happened TO be no water in the we'll.
and the boys fall, on the hard bottom
was one which rendered him uncon-
SciouS.
Nothing was known Of the boys
fall, and his father reported the mat
ter to the police and asked them to
help him in finding the lad Hc stated
that the boy had left home to. see tile
cadavers which had been deserted or
the river line and had not been seer
since. When-foun the boy, was :.ir
Il Semi-conScious condition and almost
frozen, the little water in the well
chilling him to the marrow.
When he was taken from the well
the little fellow could hardly speak,
and it was some time before he was
resuscitated. He said that the. fall
had rendered him unconscious and
rcgained his senses that afternoon. !! IIc
then. began making desperate efforts
to get out of the we'll, digging steps
In the side Of the well, using only his
hands to cut into the dirt. His hands
were bleeding and laceratcd when res
cucd. His efforts to escape, however,
had proven fruitless, the well having
cayed in about half way up, and he
could not pass the caycd- in place. ~
