able to hoodwink the police. 1t
has been the opinion of the secret
service men all along that the
gang had its headquarters in
Columbia. They worked from
that point and cracked safes in
towns in all parts of South Caro-.
lima. They did not visit the
larger cities, or at least they did
not attempt to do anything
crooked there, because they would
have been taking greater chances.
Instead, they went to the smaller
towns, where the residents retire
early, and in this way they had
ample time to use sticks Of dyna-
mite on banks and postoffices. {"

Wireless TeIegraphy an Establi sh
ed Fact.

The impossible has again hap
pened. When telegraphy was
first discovered it seemed in
credible that messages could be
sent at lighting speed over wires
from one part of the country to
another. But this became an
assured..fact and people ceased to
think about it as at all wonder
full. Next the ocean was cross
ed by the cable and continents
were bound together. Then years
later comes the telephone which
has reached such state of per-
lection that persons may stand
hundreds of miles apart and
talk to each other through in
struments which are connected
together by wires. And now
wires are discarded and MESA
ges are sent through the air from
one continent to another. Who
knows but that the day is near
at hand when people shall be
speaking to each other miles
and miles apart without any
visible instruments upon which
their messages are borne.
When Marconi began to talk
about wireless telegraphy many
no doubt thought him crazy {;
but people will soon cease to
wonder and look out for other
discoveries which Will astound
the world Last week the follow
ing was given to the Associated
Press 81 beg to inform you
for circulation that ! have es.
tablished wireless telegraph
communication between Cape
Breton, Canada, and Cornwall,
England with complete success.
lnaugatory messages including
one from governor general of
Canada, to King Edward VII
have already been transmitted
and forwarded to the Kings of
England and Italy. A message
to the London Times has also
been transmitted in the presence
of It's special correspondent, d.
Parkin, NJ. Pc. Marconi.

AN INGENIOUS ROBBERY.
How 100000 Was Stolen From
Stage Coach.

Baltimore Sun.
In the first quarter of the past
century it became necessary for
the Bank of Ireland, at Belfast,
to send large sum of money in
notes to its branch at Armagh to
meet special equirement there,
the amount to be remitted being
almost 100000.
Only two courses were open to
the management to effect this,
one being to send a special mes
senger in a post chase, and the
other to send the consignment by
the mail coach
This latter was the mode of
transportation chosen. The coach
left Belfast on Monday, Wednes-,
day and Friday at II o'clock noon
returning from the Archiepiscopai
City each Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
On the previous afternoon of
the day in question a stranger
called at the coach office and
booked four inside seats to Ar
magh, paying for them in advance.
Just prior to the starting of the
coach two men only put in an
appearance, explaining that the
other two passengers would Join
them en- route at a place beyond
Lisburn. The mail coach was in
charge Of John Byers, an old and
trusted servant of his employer
and the premier "whip" on that
coach line.
The leathern wallet containing
the notes was handed to him by
an official at the bank, who in.
structed him under no circum
stances to lose sight of it till it
reached its destination. He duly
gave effect to his instructions,
placing the wallet in the front

THE SAFE CRACKERS.
Names of the Four Men Arrested
Recently.

men under arrest on the charge
of robbing postoffices and banks
in a number of towns, are Charles
Howard, Edward Dugan, Thomas
Nolan and William Mckinley.
Howard is the leader of the
gang and has "done" time in
West Virginia for safe-cracking,
sc Inspectors Gregory and Pulsi-
fer state.
The four men were formally
arrested on a warrant sworn out
by Inspector Pulsifer, before
United States Commissioner Lide,
at Orangeburg, in which they
we're charged with, on or about
November s, 81, % and 20, 1902,
and December IA, II, 19 and 20,
breaking into the postof1ices at
Cameron, Enoree, Rowesville,
Hartsville, Hineman, Montmo
rencl, Batesburg and Henno. and
did take various sums, of money
and postage stamps. At all
these places, it is alleged, that
the safes were broken into and
money taken. Most of these
postoffices are in stores, and in
most cases postoffice money was
taken, together with private
funds. The postofiice Inspector
had nothing to do with such rob.
berles as those at Mullin and
other points where no postofice
funds were involved. The men
were arraigned before Commits
sioner Lide, who deputized Chief
DAILY to make the arrests, and
each of the men wes held in de
fault of $4,000 bonds.
District Attorney Capers has
been advised of the arrests and
will represent the government
before the United States COM
missioner, and it is expected that
the evidence will show that the
gang had confederates in Char
lesion.
No such gangs have ever opera
ted in this State before. They
not only robbed safes and got
away with good money, but they
have flooded many of the smaller
towns with bad specie, and the
counterfeits were so clever that
merchants and others accep ted
them as genuine. Dies were
found In Batesburg not long ago
and these were confiscated. They
were such excellent representa-
tons that the secret service men
were convinced that the govern
ment had to deal with the most
daring and dangerous gang that
ever worked this part Of the
country.
The officers found that m more
than 100000 in counterfeit
money was being distributed by
men who have been cracking
safes, and in this respect they
got the countrymen, coming and
going.
The News and Courier states
that burglars and safe crackers
in their stay in Charleston "went
under the guise of day laborers,
and during the daylight hours
their conduct was above re-

rays the StOughton Bank $4,000. End
ing the Litigation.

Pays the Stoughton Bank $4,000. End
ing the Litigation.
The case of John H. Joice, former
cashier of the Dane County bank of
StoughtOn, accused of receiving deposits
IN his bank after he knew it was insol-
vent, was settled in the municipal court
at Madison Tuesday in sudden man
ner, much to the surprise of all concern
ed, except the attorneys for the defense.
The case was called at 2 o'clock, but
owing totthe absence of oneof the Jurors,
Lewis Dahl of Mt. Horeb, who was sick,
the court was adjourned on motion of
Rufus b. Smith, one of the attorneys for
the defense, until conference of the at
torneys could be held and some decision
arrived at concerning the continuance of
the case. When the court reassembled
at o'clock Mr.. Smith stated to the
court that further information had been
filed with the clerk, and that his client
would plead guilty to the charge against
him. He further stated that the rela-
tlves and friends of the defendant had
by almost superhuman efforts succeeded
IN raising sufficient amount with which
to satisfy the creditors of the bank, and
that the receiver of the bank, B. E. Wait
OF Stoughton, was satisfied with such an
arrangement. Mr.. Smith ended with a
plea for leniency, saying that the amount
raised by friends of Mr.. Joice amounted
to some Sl5,0O0; that the costs in the
case amounted to 1900 and asked that
a fine of 500 be imposed, which, with
the costs and the amount raised for set
Element, would make it practically fine
of ST., 900.
The court then asked the defendant il
this arrangement was satisfactory to
him, and receiving an affirmative reply,
ordered, on the plea of guilty by Mr..
Joice, that the defendant be fined 500,
together with the costs, on the condition
that he make the settlement proposed,
or in default be committed to the Dane
county jail for one year. The fine and
costs were accordingly paid and the de-
fendant discharged

these speaking less of the personal COM

Gov. LaFollette displayed in making the
selection for the Office. The letter re-
