Armed with documents to verify his
claim to nobility, Marquis Arthur de

come to New York with the avOwed
intention of marrying an American
heiress, and has advertised to this eff

Until recently only the most meagre
information has come from Russian
Central Asia with regard to the terri
BILE calamity which laid the city of
Andid ian in ruins in single hour on
the morning of December IL last. The
telegraph lines were destroyed and
amid the excitement, suffering and
horror of weeks few details OF the
great earthquake were sent to Russia.
1t was made plain that the people were
sorely in need of aid, and the response
of western Europe was generous, says
the New York Sun.
Andidian was city of 900 inhabi-
tants. 1t was the most eastern point
reached by the Trans-Caspian railroad
in the heart of Central Asia between
the two great rivers Syr-Daria and
ANU. Daria, which water Russian Tur-
kestan. 1t was annexed to Russia
with the larger district of Ferghana
hy the celebrated General Skobelef in
1881.
In recent years the town has risen
to great Importance because 1t became
the centre of cotton culture and ex'
ports, The richness of the soil OF
Ferghana and its large agricultural
incubation contributed to the rapid
economic development of the town.
The Russian newspapers are now
printing detailed accounts of the earth
quake, which destroyed 5000 houses

ruins. All the wagons that could be
procured were for ten days devoted to
carrying the more seriously wounded

where they might be sheltered from
the cold and rain.
About 9 o'clock in the morning a

seconds only, and as no damage was

UNPLEASANT FOR TEDDY.
New Yorker Says State Would
Give Majority Against Him.

It must be very unpleasant to Pres
ident Roosevelt to see in print asser-
tions from veteran republican politi-
cians of New York that be hasn't a
chance for carrying that state in the
event of his nomination for President.
MIR. Louis F. Payn Is one of the
shrewdest OF the republican politicians
of New York. In conversation a
day or two ago he is reported to have
said that Mr.. Roosevelt, in the event
of his nomination for president, would
lose New York by 100000 majority.
Mr.. Payn also made the prediction
that the republicans could not elect
the next governor of New Yor.- or any
other state official If Mr.. Roosevelt
were nominated for president. He
said that he supposed that the republi-
can party of New York would have 10
support MIR. Roosevelt, thereby ad'
hitting that in his opinion Mr.. Roose.
Welt would be nominated, but he will
be beaten in his home state.

mime THOUSAND BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
Details OF the in Central Asia Are Gradually Being
Received. City of FOrtyNine Thousand People Became
Heap of Ruins Less Than Hours Time.

where heard for the next half hour
for the ruin of many buildings which
had not been overthrow was COM
pleted by their own weight, that
could not be supported on the now I'm.
stable foundations.
Half an hour later came another ter.
rible shock that completed the ruin
of the city. Almost all of the build
ings that had sheltered $4,000 souls
and the fine structures that had been
erected by Russians in the business
districts were now nothing but heaps
of ruins.
The beautiful stone buildings occu-
pied by the Russian-Chinese Bank, the
railroad station, the barracks of the
Russian garrison and all the other con-
spicuous structures were reduced to
heaps of ruins.
Many of the steel rails of the rail
road track were twisted as though they
were nothing but wire. The motion
was vertical and terribly severe
Wagons. timbers and stone were pro-
iected into the air and many of the
vehicles we're thus broken to pieces on
the streets.
For about fifteen minutes after the
second shock many other shocks of al
most equal severity occurred, DESTROY
ing the few buildings that had still
kept erect on their foundations. The
whole catastrophe occupied about an
hour, and while it continued most
unearthly subterranean rumbiinP noise
accompanied the convulsions of the
surface. A torrential rain beat down
upon the scene of desolation and fu-
rious rainstorm swept bits OF the ruins
and everything it could move before it.
1t was the most terrible earthquake
! that is known to have ever afflicted
, this part of Central Asia. The Rus
SLAMS had taken special pride in beau
tifying the town with admirable build
ings. 1t will probably be long time
before Andidjan is restored TO any
=, thing like its past proportions.

WOMEN MADE DIAGNOSES
A New and Novel Ceremony at
Atlanta Trinity Church.

At a recent meeting held at Trinity
NJ. E. Church in Atlanta five dea-
conesses were consecrated with i'm
pressive ceremonies.

in beautiful and touching manner.
At the conclusion of Bishop Hen
drix's remarks the five young women
we're led TO the chancel rail and intro
duced by Miss Belle Bennett, presi-
dent of the woman's home mission
board. They wore the full uniform OF

in May, 1902, and its management was
committed to the woman's home mis-
sion society. A deaconess can only
receive $40 per month and expenses.

THINGS The SEA GIVES UP
MANY ARTICLES OF VALUE WASHED
ASHORE BY STORMS.
Great Rivalry Exists Between Life Saw

to Gain Possession of Cast-Ups.

Every winter the storms along the
south jersey coast wash many objects
ashore on the island beaches. Much
of the stuff that is cast uD by the
waves is often so battered and broken
as to be worthless. yet in this fotsam
and ictsam of the sea there are often
articles of value. For the possession OF
these cast-ups there is strong rivalry
between the members of the life saw

TRIED TO BURN COURT HOUSE
Shavings Put Under the Steps
and Set on Fire.

From the Arlington Courier
An attempt was made to burn the
Miller county court house at Colquitt
last Saturday night, shavings being
piled under the steps and set on fire.
The fire YVES discovered and extin-
guished before any harm was done.
Recently there was an election 10
that county to determine whether or
not bonds should be issued to build
new court house TIE number of votes
for bonds was less than the two, thirds
required, and the"no bonds" side won'
Some of the advocates OF the new
court house are said to have been very
much disappointed, and there were
threats OF burning the old court house
and thus forcing the county to build a
new one. Some of the county officers
became alarmed and moved their
books and records to place of safe
keeping.
Miller county's need of new court
house cannot be questioned, but the
manifestation of such spirit OF law
lessness in a purpose to secure one is
to be deplored and the better and more
conservative citizens should adopt
prompt measures to suppress it.

TWO NEW AGENTS.
the SOuthern-J. w. Denning Sue
ceedS &. CavenauGh.

The past few days have noted num-
ber of changes in railroad circles in
Newberry.
At the Southern depot Mr.. S. H. Nc
Lean succeeds Mr.. J. A. Burton as
agent. Mr.. T. N. Parks, former billing
clerk, takes Mr.. McLean's place as
cashier. The position of billing clerk
to succeed Mr.. Parks has not yet been
filled.
These changes at the Southern were
caused by the resignation of Mr.. J. A.
Burton, who has held the position of
agent for the past seven or eight years.
Mr.. Burton was recently elected presi
dent of the Carolina Manufacturing
Company, to succeed Mr.. M. A. Car
Isle, and assumed the discharge of
the duties Of his new Office on
Wednesday. He intends to devote
his whole time to the company, AID
sent in to the railroad authorities his
resignation as agent, TO take effect on
Wednesday. Mr.. S. H. Mclean,
cashier under Mr.. Burton, was ap-
pointed his successor.
The appointment of Mr. Mclean meets
with the unqualified approval of cit
liens Of Newberry and patrons of the
road. Mr.. Mclean has been in the
railroad bQaness for ten years, begin
ming as agent at Chappells. On the I'd
of June, 1897, he was transferred to this
city, and served as ticket agent for three
years. Upon the death of Mr.. Henry
Hough he was promoted to billing clerk,
and year later succeeded Capt. N. B.
Mazyck as cashier, which position he
held until Wednesday. Mr.. Mclean
learned telegraphy while messenger boy
for Dudley Langford, at Prosperity.
He is very young man and a native
of the county, having been born at
Prosperity in 1876.
The Newberry travelling public re-
ceived the news of Mr.. Burton's resigna-
ton with regret, and it is matter of |
qualification to them that he will be |
succeeded by Mr.. Mclean, who has hosts !
of friends in the city and throughout
the county and State.
AT TIE c., N. & l..
Mr.. e. Cavenaugh, agent at the CO.
lumbia, Newberry and Laurens road,
resigned several days ago in order to !
enter the mercantile business here.
Mr.. J. w. Denning, who has been con-
nected with the Laurens office as clerk |
for the past several years, has been ap-
pointed agent to succeed Mr.. Cavenaugh,
and will take charge on Monday. Mr.. |!
Denning was formerly operator at New
berry and has many friends here who |
are glad that he will again make New
berry his home.
