1 THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD.
Gov. Hayward Determined to Re-
capture a Murderer.

Columbia, Dec. 14.--Gnvernor Hey
ward has offered a most unusual re-
ward. Some time ago j. A. Adams
was convicted of numbering Mr..
Jacques. After his conviction he sp-
pealed for new trial, which the Su-
preme Court denied, and while in the
county jailsof Colleton. pending the
result of the appeal for new trial,
he made his escape. The Supreme
Court refused the new trial and
Adams is now under death sentence.
At various times reports have been
made that Adams was in Colleton
county, and complaint has been made
that the sheriff of the county ought
to arrest him. The sheriff says that
he has done all that he can. Governor
Heyward originally offered a reward
of $500, and today he issued a supple
mentary reward Of $500. Usually re-
wards are contingent upon the convic-
tion of the prisoner. but in this cas-
the man who delivers Adams to the
proper officers Of the law and gets his
receipt has made 81, 600.
Governor Heyward feels that the
case demands some such heroic treat
meent, in view Of the letters that be
is receiving from Colleton. which in
dicate that Adams is in that county.

SEARCH MADE BY CADETS.
Idea Originated With Students and
Not the Faculty---An Explana-
tion of the Clemson Af-
fair.
From The State.

A sensational story having been
circulated to the effect that the cadets
of Clemson college had been "held
up' by the faculty and searched for
stolen property and that the rooms
and baggage of the young men had
also bsen subjected to rigid ezamina-
tion, The State yesterday telegraphed
Dr.. Nell, president of tie college,
asking if there was any truth in the
report. The following statement from
a committee of students was tele-
graphed fom Clemson last night:
ITO DR.. P. H. Nell, President
eve are authorized by the senior
class to make the following statement
in regard to the recent searching OF
cadets at Clemson:
"First. That inasmuch as several
articles had been missed and one cadet
confessed to having them and was ex-
PEELED from college, and as other
articles were reported as missing, the
corps determined to investigate the
matter, and hence the search Of all
cadets and their belongings was In
stituted.
''Second, That the president, the
commandant nor any other member OF
the faculty knew anything about the
plan of making the search until the
senior class made the request for per-
mission to make 1T, and it was con-
Quoted by the captain and assistant.
"Third. That the entire corps was
in full sympathy with the movement
and not only offered no resistance to
it, but abetted in every way possible.
Some men whose trunks were not
searched came and reported the fact
and requested that they be searched.

4 SOUND STEAMER BURNED.
Nine Lives Lost and Many Others
Suffer From Fire and Cold.

Stamford, Conn, Dec; 1.-THE
Star Line steamer, Glen Island, was
destroyed by FIRE early this morning
off Matini Cock point. Nine persons
lost their lives. Two were passengers
and the rest were members of the
crew. The steamer left this city at
9 O'Clock last night for New Haven
with cargo of general freight and ten
passengers and the regular crew of
twenty one men. Thee fire is believed
to have been started by defective
electric light wire amidship. The
passengers and crew who we're saved
drifted in open boats for three hours,
before being picked up by sister
ship of the Glenn island. Erastus
Corning who was brought to this
city, suffered untold agony from the
bitter cold. So rapidly did the flames
spread that the passengers had NO
time to get on clothing, and they es-
capped with only night clothes on and
were only protected from cold by
blankets. which were drenclIed.
Captain MacAllister, was the last
to leave the ship with the crew. The
highest praise is given him by the
rescued passengers for his cool headed
courage and thoughtfulness. The pas
sengers were mostly New Haven peo-
pie.

It will be observed that the students
took the matter of Investigation into
their own hands and instituted the
search, which is a very different thing
from such search having been order
ed or suggested by the faculty. Had
the searchinc of students and their
possessions D. en- ordered by the facul-
ty it would have been almost unpre-
cedented in college of Clemsou's g
character and must have been regard
ed as a serious reflection on the cadets
but the student body having taken the
initiative with determination to
purge the college of dishonorable stu
dents and clear Of suspicion, the mat
ter assumes an entirely different as
pect. When the students take on
themselves the duty in such investiga-
tions, with the determination OF ex-
pelling the guilty, it is evidence of the
proper spirit existing in the body.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Call of Pastoral Charges Com
pIeted by the Bishop---Rey.
VIC. Power to Retire.
Charges Against Presiding Elder BeasIe,

DARLINGTON, Dec. l4.-From tne
manner in which Bishop Wilson rap
ned the table upon the formal conven-
tion of the South Carolina annual
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in the Darlington
Theatre this morning, it was evident
that be would suffer no useless delay
in transacting the business before the
Conference, and in consequence of his
undeclared decision much OF the rou-
tine business was disposed OF at the
morning session.
Nothing of especial interest has
tanspired SO far, except the preference
of charges of maladminlstratlon
against Presiding Elder j. S. Beasley
of the Columbia district. by the Rev.
G. D. Mann. When Mr.. Beasley's s
name was called by the bishop for
massage of character, Mr.. Mann arose
and preferred the charge. The Bishop
refused to allow the case to come be-
fore Conference, ruling that the charg-
es had not been brought in the prop.
er form, and in addition that no legal
notice had been served upon Nj. Beas-
ley. The incident caused somewhat
of a sensation, and the Bishops rul-
ing was heard with the graetest at
tention. It was expected that this
matter would be brought up at the
last annual Conference, but Mr.. Mann
was prevented from attending on ac-
count of his serious illness. Mr..
Beasley's character passed, and he
proceeded to make his report: 1t is
not thouoht that the matter will come
up again.
Conference convened it's 119th ses-
sion this morning at $50 O'Clock.
The opening devotions, including the
sacrament of the Lords Supper, were
conducted by Bishop Wilson, assisted
by the Revs. W. G. Power, }. W.
Rumbert, ". ". Jones and j. b.
Traywick.
Organization resulted in the cleo
ton of E. o. Watson, secretary, W.
L. Wait, assistant secretary; A.
Elwood Haller, assistant secretary
A. J. Cauthen, recording secretary
S. q. Zimmerman, statistical secre.
tary, with R. E. Turnipseed, j. b.
Nolland, D. ". Keller and A. n.
Brunson, assistants.
From the reports submitted today BY
the presiding elders and preachers
it1would appear that all the Methodist
churches in South Carolina have en-
ioyed year OF prosperity, both spir'
itually and financially. All churches
reporting so far announce all claims
paid, while several have surplus on
hand. The majority of the churches
have yet to report, and it is likely
that most Of tomorrow mornings ses
sion will be taken up with this busi'
ness.
Last night the Rev. q. B. Browne,
presiding elder of the Sumter district,
entertained the preachers of his dis
trict at an oyster supper, which was
served in the cafe Of the DaarlingtoI
Hotel. In addition to oysters prepared
in the best style, Nine Rcstt Duff
provided numerous other good things
to eat for the preachers, and tiae
collation. was greatly enjoyed.
No session of Conference was helc
this afternoon. Bishop Wilson and
his cabinet met to consier appoint
| ments and to transact other business
A number of committee meeting
also we're held.
