wharf Thieves Scarce.

The stealing of turpentine, resins
and cotton along the wharves is a
thing of the past. Thieves fear their
capture, and they take few risks
about tumbling a bale overheard and
catching it in bateau. Rolling ros-
ms overheard, and then making the
claim that they were picked up af1oat
no longer goes in court, and thieves
have learned to leave this property
alone. shippers have made a few
complaints this season.

The cotton presses are doing their
work in hurry these days. At the

HORRIBLE LYNCHINGS.

THE lynching of OLIVER WIDEMAN
and his wife at Greenwood, S. O., on
the night of December Goth, 1902, was
a most atrocious crime on the part of
the lynchers. The sex OF the woman
did not shield her from the furo of the
murderers.
They were charged with having shot
and killed w. K. JAY, white farmer
of that locality. The prisoners were in
the custody of an irresponsible oonsta.
BILE and were given no opportunity 70
either defend themselves or secure de-
Tense from others.
The uncomfortable crime di not fig
ure in the case, and as the colored vic
tins are dead, there is no opportunity
to ascertain the facts. The law OF
South Carolina is said to be severe in
its dealing with the lynchers, but there
seems to be no one with the nerve and
hardlhood to enforce it.
This horrible crime had been equalled
on Christmas day in Kansas, when a
mob of white men tocS MONTGOMERY
COOLEY from from tho Jail at Pitts
burg and hanged him. In so doing
the rope broke, and some one in the
crowd cut the throat of the unfortu
nate man, severirg the JIG rular vein.
He was covered with blood and pre-
scented horrible appearance. Despite
all of this, he was was hanged a second
time. COOLEY was charged with hav
ing shot and killed MILTON HINKLE, a
policeman. The sequel to the affair i,
startling, 1t has since been learned
that the mob lynched the wrong man
1t was GoDLEY's brother who shot the
policeman and efforts are now beins
made to find out his whereabouts.
This is the logical result of this dis
position to override the law of the
land. Colored men will yet learn thai
they must protect themselves. In Ger
tain localities, TO submit to arrest is t.
court death. A constable or sheriff
who is unable to protect prisoner ha,
no right to arrest him. Lynch-law
must go!

McKINLEY's NIECE MARRIED
Miss Mary Barber Became the Wife
of Major HartzelI.

Canton, o., Dec. 31.-Miss Mary
Barber, eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. G. Barber last evening be-
came the wife Of Major Ralph Hart
zell, of Denver. The ceremony was
performed at the commodious old Sax
ton homestead, formerly the home of

BARRIERS, and was witnessed by Mrs.
Mckinley. Mrs. Mckinley and Mrs.
Barber are sisters. Rev. o. B. MILF

Miss Barber was a favorite of the
late President Mckinley and spent
much of her time at the White House,
and was in several presidential parties
making extensive tours of the country
as the particular companion of Mrs.
Mckinley. She became a great favo-

Observation-Disclosures
Pennsylvania Board of Charities In.
vestigated Eastern Penitentiary.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS ALLEGED

The subcommittee Report to Gov
ernor Stone Calls Attention to Mat
tiers That In Their Opinion Needs
Hasty Correction.
Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 31.-The re-
port of the subcommittee of the state
board of charities appointed to inves-
tigate the management of the Eastern
Penitentiary at Philadelphia, was re-
ceived yesterday by Governor Stone.
The report is signed by all the mem
bers of the committee, which was com
posed of Judge Isaac Johnson, of Me-
dia; Ralph Blum, Gerge l. Macleod, Of
Philadelphia; George w. Byron, of
Shamokin, and Patrick c. Boyle, of
Oil City.
The report states that the sanitary
condition of the penitentiary is good,
and that the prisoners are properly fed,
clothed, and cared for so far as the
committee was able to ascertain. The
matters relating to the management in
the opinion of the committee calling
for adverse action are as follows:
First-The furnishing of food from
the penitentiary supplies to officers and
| employees of the institution.
Second-The lack of supervision over
the accounts of the storekeeper and
other employees who receive and dis
tribute the goods given into their pos
session.
Third-Lack of supervision and
proper accounting of what is known as
the Gaming and chair repairing depart
| ment
Fourth-Favoritism in diet and ia
vors to particular persons upon the
part of certain officers connected with
| the institution.
Fifth-In one of the inspectors aid
ing prisoner in the transmission of a
large amount of money from the pris-
on in an irregular way and the manner
| transaction have been kept.
Sixth-In the purchase of material
for the penitentiary from a firm or
| corporation in which an inspector had
| an interest, and in procuring fire in
| surance on the penitentiary property
from a company in which an inspector
| is an officer
Seventh-The failure OF the warden
| to keep proper accounts OF the old iron
| and brass and such material sold, and
| in the manner in which he accounted
| for it.
Eighth-In the purchasing of goods
] and materials for the personal use by
| officers from the penitentiary stock
and the procuring of work to be done
for the personal use of officers of the
institution. The using Of prisoners as
servants in the families of the warden
and chief overseer.
The report also says: From the evil
dence your committee is satisfied that
provisions belonging to the penitenti-
airy have been used in the private fam
lilies of the warden and the chief over
seer and without being in any way ac-
counted for. The warden is given the
custody and control Of the provisions
| in the penitentiary for distribution to
those entitled to receive them. He has
no right to appropriate any part of
them, however small, to his own use, or
to permit his chief. Dorwalt, to do so.
1t is an abuse and needs hasty correc-
ton.

ENGINE EVERY FOUR HOURS
A Record-Breaking Year at BaIdwin's
Locomotive Works.

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-By turning
out 1920 locomotives, an average of
one every four hours, all records have
been broken during 1902 at the Bald
win Locomotive Works, and all indica-
lions point to an even greater output
in the year that is about to dawn.
Since the industrial boom began in
1899 this great establishment has been
kept busy to the extent of it's capacity,
which has been increased from year to
year with the result that the output
for 1900 1901, and 1902 has been 1,217.
1875, and 1920 locomotives, respec-
lively.
From tonnage standpoint the rec
ord OF 1902 is comparatively greater
greater than that represented by the
1920 locomotives built. From year to
year the weight of locomotives has
been gradually increased, and some of
the heaviest engines ever built at the
works, weighing 3SS,000 pounds, were
Turned out during the year. While the
tonnage figures have not yet been made
up for 1902. the average weight Of the
locomotives built was about 1877 tons,
or an Appropriated locomotive ton
mage of POS. lao tons.
The money value of the years out
put represents fully $40, 900, 900, an in
crease of 100000 over the previous
year, this increase being the result not
only of the increased number of en-
gines built, but their considerably en-
HANGED value over the previous year
OF the years output 424 locomotives
were commands 25 oil fuel hurparc
and "a electrics. The great major
ity of the locomotives were what are
termed road engines, principally
freight, and these generally of very
heavy type.

aware river, fresh from the hands
of her builders, the new battleship
Maine, the flower OF the navy, which is
and fame of her Inflated predecessor.
The hammers of a hundred men
rang sharply in the hold of the Maine
yesterday morning up to the moment
the signal was given to make ready
for her departure from the Yards of
the William CraElp Sons Ship and En-
CINE Building Company. When a short
blast of the sirens caused the hawsers
to be ca q off there arose the hurrahs
of the thousands Of yard employees,
which were drowned a moment later
by the footing of scores of whistles
about the plant. 1t was a joyful God
speed. AS the huge white ship swung
slowly from her dock and started down
stream she was greeted by a salute
frome every passing craft, and the
trip down the river was in the nature
of an ovation.
Off League Island the big port an
Choir was let go and fathom after faith
ON of cable was paid out with a roar.
After the Maine had swung around
with the tide Captain Eugene H. G.
Leutze and his officers, together with
the bluejackets and marines who were
assigned to man her, were sent aboard.
The ceremony of placing the ship in
commission was the transformations
service prescribed by the naval regu,
lations. The crew was assembled aft,
and Captain Leutze read the orders
placing the ship in commission and
naming her commander. AS he finish
ed reading the orders Old Glory was
broken out from the mainmast head
and the bluejackets saluted. That
very minute began the routine work
aboard ship.
