HE KILLED HIS BROTHER
WITH BLOW OF HIS FIST.
Blow Was struck to Save Mute
from an OncominG Train.

from an uncomtnE Train.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 25.-Last night
the authorities of the town of Kings
tree were notified that a white man
was found dead on the Atlantic Coast
Line track a short distance below the
depot.
Two young white men were noticed
on the streets during the day selling
collar buttons. one of them appearing
to be a mute. Late that afternoon they
went down on the railroad and in
drunken stupor. went to sleep on the
track. About 10 o'clock they were dis
covered by the assistant agent, and
one of them, the mute, was found dead,
with much evidence of violent death,
there being marks of several severe
blows on his head and body and his
neck broken. The other, who gave his
name as Harry Hardy, from Cincin-
natl, was lying helplessly drunk in the
ditch along side the track.
During the time that the two men
were on the track an extra freight
passed and their bodies were discoV-
cred Just before the southbound pas
senger passed. At the coroner's in
quest this morning the jury rendered
the verdict that the deceased came to
mis- death by TALL caused by Harry
Hardy, his brother. In trying to get
him off the track out of the way of an
approaching train.
1t seems that Harry Hardy endeav-
ored to get his brother off the track
seeing the approaching train, but the
mute refused to move, and made sig
nails as if to stop the train. Failing to
pull him from the track, Harry struck
his brother a blow on the side of his
neck and knocked him down. and
claimed that from this fall the deceased
received his fatal injuries. The evil
dence adduced was to the effect that
no train had struck the dead man, and
that he came to his death in this man.

Harry Hardy was released from GUS
tody this afternoon.

DICK BLACK HAS BEEN

Had Borne an Excellent Reputation
in That Place.
Rome, Ga, Aug. 25.--Dick Black,
the alleged partner of Joe Laney, Jr.,
was arrested here to-day.
Dick Black is a young man who is
well known in Rome. and has quite
number of friends here. His father
was Eugene Black, who died some time
ago. His family relations are quite
prominent, and up to the time he left
Rome two years ago. he was a social
favorite. 1t was quite a shock to his
acquaintance in Rome TO learn of his
connection with the Western Union af-
fair, and his past record in Rome was
such that il led many TO disbelieve it
at first. He has held positions OF re-
sponsibility and trust in this city, and
his conduct was such as to arouse no
suspicion. He was generally known
as an honest and straightforward
young man and above reproach. His
uncle John Black held the Office of
tax collector for quite a number of
years, and was a man beloved by all.

eur RARE GINS IN WAFER
German Stone Workers Use Novel
Process in Shaping Jewels at
Frieburg.

"The stone workers Of Germany
are among the most interesting
persons / have ever seen when en-
gagged in emitting their jewels"
said A. L. Bankhead, of Memphis,
who has travelled extensively in
Europe, to a Louisville Courier
Journal reporter.
"The principal industry is at
Freiberg, on the edge of the Black
Forest, in which the precious
stones are found. The principal
jewels are amethyst, lapis lazuli
and malachite. They are found in
veins which are thin as compared
with ordinary mineral deposits,
and in the rough are shaped ex-
actly like any other stones that
are dug out of the ground.
"The process Of cutting them is
the interesting part of the work.
All of them are cut under water,
and the jewel cutters lie fiat upon
their stomachs while at work. \
huge water wheel is fitted with
the necessary cutting apparatus,
and the resting places of the cut
ters are very much like the pack
saddle. They lie on that with
their hands under water, holding
the stone which is being prepared,
and the motion of the wheel does
the cutting. The action of the
wheel makes the process more rap
id and at the same time leaves a
better surface than if cut in the
air.
"Malachite, which is one of the
principal jewels made in this way,
is the royal stone of Russia, and is
more plentiful there than in Ger
many. The ear of Russia. when
lie is greatly pleased with anyone.
Will send him Il vase or n clock ot
some handsome design of mal4.
chite, and wherever they are seen
the favor of the car rests. The
stones are only semi-preciOus no.
being in the same category with
emeraldS and rubieS,
but even a small piece of them is
expensive. Malachite is found in
New Mexico, in this country. and
is even finer than the European
minerals. Chrysoprase is another
German stone which has recently
become quite Il fad for pins aud
buckles"

CONGER TO RETURN,
UNITED STATES MINISTER TO
CHINA COMING HOME.
Has Had Wide Experience in Diplo-
matte Field Both in the Orient
and in South American
Countries.

Des Moines, Announcement Is
made that on January / Edwin Fl.
Couger, United States minister to
China, will resign his diplomatic post
and return. with his family, to this
city. Few diplomatic careers of recent
years have been as adventurous and
picturesque as Maj. C0nger's. Few
women of any rank or station OF re-
cent years have played as important a
part in shaping the destinies OF an
empire as Mrs. Conger. No less an
authority than William Il. Curtis, on
his return from a tour of the world,
declared to the Chicago Women's club
that Mrs Conger is directly response
BILE for the recent action Of the dowa-
ser empress establishing 10 universe
ties in the largest cities of China. That
was but one example of the wonderful
influence which Mrs. COnger exerts
over the real ruler of the celestial en-
pire.
Maj and Mrs. Conger have now
says a special from this city to the
Chicago Chronicle, There they were
throughout the siege consequent upon
the boxer uprising. Imprisoned in
the legation, they remained until the
allied troops, with Gen. Chaffee in
command of the United States forces,
made their historic march to the re-
lief of the beleaguered diplomats.
1t was in 1898 that Maj. Conger was
sent to the Picking post, transferred
from Brazil, where he had served two
terms, from 1891 to 1893. and again in
1897 and 1898. An interesting story
is told of his appointment to the Bra
lillian mission When he was young

man Conger had attended the law
school at Albany, y. Y. Among the
students in his class. and one with
whom he became well acquainted. un-
til the acquaintance grew into a true
friendship was William Mckinley. A
quarter of a century later Maj. COngeT
and Mai Mckinley served together in
congress, and the friendship of early
days was renewed When the Brazilian
post became vacant President McKin-
ley remembered his friend Conger and
the appointment was promptly made.
Later, when the Picking post became
vacant and the administration needed
a thorough diplomat. a tactful, care
full statesman. Mai. Conger was trans
ferred. The Picking post is an impor-
tant one; the pas six years have
found grave questions OF commerce as
well as of interna, ional law. arising
Maj. Conger has fulfilled his mission.
During the diplom tic conferences fol-
lowing the capture of Peiing he rep
resented this government. and, while
there are some to-day who maintain
that he was too .o"givng and lenient
and granted COnce sons 10 China which
should never have been made, he acted
throughout for what he considered the
highest and greatest justice to all
II was some time after The boxer
uprising that Mai Congcr returned to
Des Moines. his l'.ntime home. ON a
short leave of alb 5ence. A great mass
meeting was held at the Auditorium to
welcome him 1t was attended by
thousands. When Mai. Conger had
departed for China. few years be-
fore, the Grand Army post OF which
he was an honOred member had held a
smoker in his honor. One OF the feat
ures of that farewell had been the
singing of God 30 With You Till We
Meet Again" by one of the sweet
voiced singers of the city.
Many and many time during the
darkest days, when death seemed only
a few hours removed did ] remember
those words. God be with you til we
meet again. and utter them over and
over and think OF the comrades and
friends and folks at home" declared
Maj. Conger. with the tears streaming
down his face, as he responded to the
addresses in his honor.
