The Gonzales Monument.
Meeting of the Central Committee
"A Statement Issued.

Secretary McMahan on behalf
of the Gonzales monument COM
mlttee has handed the press the
following statement for publica-
ton:
The committee on the Gonzales
monument fund met Saturday at
l o'clock and canvassed the situa
ton. The amount realized thus
far is gratifying, considering that
no systematic canvass has been
made. Committees will now be
appointed to canvass for subscrip.
tions in all the towns and com
munities ia the State, and it is
expected within the next month to
have in hand very large sum.
The chairman Of the committee
Mr.. w. A. Clark is now appoint
ing local committees but desires
it to be particularly understoo d
that everybody ls invited to con-
stitute himself or herself a COM
mittee of one to obtain such sub
scrlptions as each community may
wish to make. The newspapers
will be relied upon to make this
known to all of their readers.
To set at rest question that
has arisen in the minds of some as
to the form which the memo crial
should take, the committee decid-
ed unanimously, in accordance
with the original purpose of all
who have been moving in the mat
ter IN Columbia, to erect a monu
ment in public place in the city.

Gets 81, $50.

Atlanta, March GA special
to The Constitution from Macon,
Ga, says: Packed in box of ice
to preserve it from decay, the
body of Charles Jeffcoat, the
Emanuel county outlaw, passed
through Macon tonight en- route
to Swainsboro, where it will be
surrendered to the sheriff by the
two Alabama deputies, one of
whom shot Jeffcoat to death We'd
neslay afternoon near Liberty
Hill.
Jeffcoat was located Wednesday
morning at the home of his broth
er-in law near Andalusia, by De-
puties Dunson and Prestwood.
The fugitive was then making
his way into Mississippi and when
the officers came upon him he was
sitting on a porch talking to
some ladies. As the officer dis
covered HIM Jeffcoat started on
his journey to Laurel Hill accom-
panied by a ten-year>old boy who
was to show him the way. Near
the house the officers and .Jeffcost
mot. When within 20 feet of the
outlaw both officers covered him
with double barreled shot guns.
Deputy Duuson drew bead on
Jetfcoat but before pulling the
trigger said: "Jefcoat, I've got
the drop on you. Throw up your
hands l don't want to hurt
you"
Jeffcoat hesitated for second.
Within ten feet of him was large
tree. Like flash he darted be-
hind the tree. Both officers and
the fugitive then began firing and
ut the second volley Jcffcoat fell
down dead.
AS Deputy Dunson attempted
to step forward he too dropped
upon the ground. A bullet from
the outlaws pistol had passed
through his left leg.
The body is worth to the sher>
if in all 1850.

tho woman recovered conscious
ness sufficiently to identify her
assallant, Henry Walker. The
negro was brought to Birmingham

at the infrmary. Mrs. Dicker-
son raised her bandage hand and
pointing at the negro said: "That
is the man.
81 did not do it; 1 am not the
man." said the negro in voice
that betrayed fear.
''Yes you are," repeated Mrs.
Dickerson, "look at the print of
my hand upon your shirt"
On the negro's shirt just above
the pocket was the PRINT of bloody
fingers.
Addressing the neglo again she
said: 81 prayed to you to spare
me and you would not do it,"
The story of the midnight as
sault upon Mr.. Dickerson and his
wife was related by Mrs. Dicker
son as follows:
'I was aroused during the
night by hearing some one walk
ing In the room and at the same
time Mr.. Dickerson was awaken

did so the intruder struck him on
the head with a hatchet, knocking
him back upon the bed.
VI sprang out of the bed with
my baby in my arms and the ne
gro hit me with the hatchet, at
the same time jerking the baby
from my arms and throwing it
across the room upon the bed.
cat the moment Mr.. Dicker-
son seemed to come to him
self slightly and half arose,
and the negro turned upon him
and dealt him another heavy blow
with the hatchet, knocking him
down again.
"Then he turned upon me,
striking me several times. l re-
sisted the best l could and my
hands and arms were badly cut by
the hatchet.
"Finally the negro overpower-
ed me and dragged me into al adj
joining room where his terrible
purpose was accomplished. He
then hit me over the head with a
heavy revolver and left me for
dead -
Mrs Dickerson sustained sever
al fractures of the skull. Her
husband also bad several

Glen Falls on the Ii udson river.
Over n thousand men are employ

borers and many Of the masons
are Italians who live in shanties
on the north side of the river. The
main portion of the work is car

ite side of the river. The men
have been the habit of crossing a
small bridge where the river flows
through the unfinished portion of
the dam, but the river has been
rising for several days and the
; company fearing that the bridge
was unsafe destroyed it with Gy-
Mantle. Below the work about q
half mile is a ferry. The boat
is scow shaped affair 80 feet
long and Is feet wide and is Oh
Grated by means of cables. 1t is
large enough to carry a heavy
loaded team, and as many as $50
men have been taken across at
one time. Yesterday when the
men were being ferried across an
Italian boy known as "Cigarette"
became frightened and fell over
board. He was rescued, how.
ever. This morning 70 or so
men got aboard and the boat start
