WITH TRAGIC SPEED
DEATH CAME TO SIR MICHAEL
HERBERT IN SWITZERLAND.
TO ALASKAN COMMISSION
ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE AND
TRIBUTE WAS PAID.

Commission Adjourned as Mark OF
Representation Ambassador to
United states Had Made Long ana
PIucISy Fight Against Consump-
tiOn-Rnd Been in switzerland
Five Observation-Disclosures Sent
Lady Herbert by President ROOse-
veIt-Death May Postpone GOeIet-
ROxburgh Marriage.
London. Sept. 30.-Sir Michael Her
bert, the British ambassador to the
United States, died to-day at Davos-
Platz, Switzerland, after a long and
plucky fight against consumption
which terminated with tragic sudden
ness.
The first announcement of the am
bassador's untimely end was made at
this afternoons session of the Alas
kan Boundary Commission. Hannis
Taylor, in behalf of the United States,
had finished his lengthy argument
about 3 o'clock and Sir Edward Car
son, the solicitor general was replying
with an intricate legal argument deal
ing with maps and the ancient Van
couver controversy, which was half
heartedly paid attention to by those
present and several of them made prep
arations to leave the hall as the Solicit
tor General delevd still deeper into the
dry-as-dust detail, when Chief Justice
Alverstone held up his hand, and Sir
Edward sat down.
A second later the commission, coun-
sci. secretaries and spectators sat
spellbound, as Lord Alverstone, with
trembling voice and tears coursing
down his cheeks, announced that Sir
Michael Herbert was dead. Maps and
boundaries We're utterly forgotten. With
dramatic pathos the international con-
testants became fellow sympathizers,
listening in stunned amazement to Lord
Alverstone's tribute to the man whose
death none even expected Lord AL
verstone paid a high tribute to the
personal and official qualifications OF
the late ambassador.
In the meanwhile, Ambassador
Choate had entered. He had Just
SOiiiO AiOAA4 Lulu 1@hllSuOWnG , room,
where he learned the news. The in.
tense silence which followed the de-
livery of Lord Alverstone's tribute was
broken by Jacob M. Dickinson of
American counsel, who voiced the
American sorrow and proposed an
adjournment of the commission. Solic-
itor General Carson followed, and the
commission quietly broke up until to-
morrow.
Sir Michael had been at Davos- Platz
about five weeks. When he returned to
London from America. he confessed
that he felt far from well; but, his
physicians still held out hopes of his
escape from consumption. The am.
bassador expected to leave Davos-
Platz a week or so in order to greet
the Alaskan commissioners here, but
he contracted bronchitis. OF this he
wrote, only a few days ago, quite
slightingly, saying it was only annoy
ing because of it the doctor insisted on
his not going to London to see his
American friends. Lady Herbert in
tended to leave Switzerland a short
time ago with her children. but she
apparently changed her plans, and re-
manned at Davos-Platz.

M0NARCHS DROVE.
Car Visits Vienna to Greet Francis
Joseph.

Vienna, Sept. 3O.-The Car, accom-
panied by numerous suite. including
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff. arrived
here to-day, and was met at the rail-
road station by Emperor Francis
Joseph, and the Archdukea Their
Maiesties were driven to Schoenbrun
Castle, the route bling lined by troops,
and enormous crowds of people.
The arrival of the Car TODAY was
not marked by the same popular en-
thusiasm as was shown during the
visiting of King Edward, and En-
peror William. This was probably due
to the military, and police precautions,
as both sides of the streets were lined
with infantry, cavalry, and artillery
and behind the hedge Of soldiers was a
thick line of police facing the popu-
lace.
At the state luncheon addresses were
made by the Emperor, and the Gar

HE WILL STOP NOW.
Sheriff BufOrd Has Warrant for a Man
Whom he Meets Going to the Peni-
tentiary for Five Years on
Another Charge.

In March of last year Sheriff Buford
received from the sheriff of Richland
County, a warrant for the arrest of
Robert McAllistcr, charged with steal
ing horse and buggy. Sheriff Buford
recovered the horse and buggy, but did
not find McAllister until last week,
when he met him on the train in the
hands of Sheriff Gilreath, of Green
vile, who was taking him to the peni-
tentiary to serve a sentence of five
years for a crime committed in Green
vile County.
McAllister has behind him quite a
history of crimes, and it is very proba-
bic that he will now be called to ac-
| count for all of them. On the third of
last March he rented horse and buggy
from Welch and Conder, in Columbia
Deciding not to return the team, he
drove to Newberry. A warrant for his
arrest was Immediately forwarded from
Columbia, and in a very few minutes
Sheriff Bufold had located the horse
| and buggy at Copeland's stables. Nc
Allister had gone, leaving instructions
to sell the horse for reasonable price
that he would get the money on his
return.
1t is thought that later he turned up
| in Washington, where he was convicted
on another offenSe and where he served
a sentence.
Returning to South Carolina he went
to Greenvile. He was still at the same
old trade. Going to one of the Green
vile merchants, he told him Of trade
which he had made in Anderson and
which had netted him neat sum of
| money. He purchased from the mer-
chant about 500 worth of goods and
borrowed about the same sum in cash,
giving check for the whole amount
He left town on the next train. He
had aroused suspicion, however, and
| was arrested at Blacksburg and carried
back to Greenvile, where he was tried
| and convicted and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary
Sheriff Buford, while on the train
| last week going to Columbia to attend
the meeting of Sheriffs of the State,
met Sheriff Gilreath, of Greenville. In
conversation, the Grcenvillc Sheriff told
him that he had prisoner on the train
| and who he was. Sheriff Buford i'm
mediately recalled the name. He saw
and talked to the prisoner and is sure
that it is his man. Sheriff Buford' s
memory has rendered him good assist
ance in this instance.

A Very Small Fire.

Late Sunday afternoon, chimney in
the residence of the late Mrs. Barre
caught fire. 1t was at first thought
that the blaze might prove serious and
the alarm was turned in. The fire de-
partment responded promptly, and
while their services on this occasion
were not required they succeeded in
proving how quickly they can respond
with their new equipment. 1t looked
like old times to see Billy Hunter on
the roof of the building putting out the
flames. The fire was promptly extin-
gusshed with no damage.

Death of Mrs. Jane Ba re.

Mrs. Jane Barre died at her residence
in the city Monday morning at 2.3O
o'clock, in the 83rd year of her age.
Some years ago she was afflicted with
paralysis, and since has been almost
continually confined to her home. Her
sufferings she bore with Christian en-
durance to the end.
Mrs. Barre was a widow of the late
Matthias Barre, who died in 1873.
Their union was blessed by three chill
dren-John j., who met tragic death
in Florida in 1872; Sallie, who is still
living; and Lille, who became the wife
of Mr.. B. f. Griffin, and who has also
passed to her reward.
Mrs. Barre was a member of the
Lutheran church, and regular at
tendant and faithful worker so long as
her health would permit. Though she
could not actively engage in the work
of her church during her last years,
she was with it in spirit. One of the
most beautiful windows in the new
church building is to the memory of
her husband.

the Lutheran Church Of the Redeemer
this afternoon at 3. 80 o'clock, and will
be conducted by the pastor, Rev. w. l..
