This made three successive goals
for the English team, and the Bur-

enthusiasm was quickly dampened by
John Lawson, who scored for the Bur

A new ball was thrown in and
Mackey carried 1T swiftly toward the

Hobart, who ran it up the field again.
The ponies became. exhausted and it
became necessary to change, two min
utes being allowed for this. They were
at it again, every player doing his
duty in a perfect frenzy. In the
midst of a mixup in front of the Eng

between the posts, thus winning the
game for the Burlingame clubmen. A
mighty cheer went up from the spec
tators around the field. and Messrs.
Duval and Hobart were given an ova-

the winning team, and the gallant

owns 10000 acres, which are located in
Atchison county, Missouri, Joined by g.,

REQUlHrIoN FOR BENNETT.
Declines to Come Back to South Carolina Until
He is Brought Back.

Declines to Come Back to South Carolina Until
He is Brought Back.
Ben Bennett has declined to come back
to South Carolina without requisition.
Accordingly Gov. Hayward yesterday
wired Gov. Terrell, of Georgia, to have
him held in the jail at Savannah until the
papers could he made out. Gov. Terrell
acknowledged the receipt of the request
and declared that he would hold Bennett
and would aid the authorities of South
Carolina in every way.
The Office OF the attorney general has
now taken up the matter and will prepare
the papers demanding Benefits extradi-
ton to this State. No further trouble is
looked for and it is expected that Bennett
will be landed here in few days to serve
the rest of his life for having taken the
life of man named Lightsey in Hampton
county. Had he kept the faith he would
be free today under the parole given him
by Gov. McSweeney, but his coming back
to South Carolina was made known only
through another horrible tragedy, the
killing of his wife.-Columbia State, Tues
day, Sept. Goth.

recruiting officer at Savannah, who had
enlisted Bennett for the service, to hold
Bennett subject to his orders. He is in
communication with the army authorities
at Washington and expects the war de-
partment to advise him that the man is
not to be given up to the civil authorities
of South Carolina. The lieutenant seems
to think that the army is entitled to Ben
nett.
The police scarcely know for whom
they are holding Bennett, but he is still
held. His attorney, R. L. Colding, is about
to institute habeas corpus proceedings to
secure his release.
Sheriff Lightsey is here still, and his
claim for the: man is before the police
still. Lightsey is anxious to take him back
to Brunson.
Bennett is only 27 years of age and was
married at II. he has little girl nine
years of age dependent upon him for sup
port. The man seems to have provoked

Pride and Honor Lost.

The Bamberg Herald, which possesses
the virtue of fspeaking its mind and taking
sides, says the campaign this year was
s'the dirtiest ever held in South Carolina, y
and it thinks it quite an honor to be a
defeated candidate in some counties in
South Carolina when the character of
some Of the men elected is considered.
This, in connection with the bribery in
Aiken, is not very encouraging. 1t is the
direct result of the seeds planted in the
campaigns of 1890, 1892 and 1894. Can.
didates and voters seem to have lost pride
and honor. How are they to he regained:

"It's Not Ny Business. "

A wealthy man in St. Louis was asked
to aid in series of temperance meetings,
but he scornfully refused. Being pressed,
he said:
"Gentlemen, it is not my business"
A few days later, his wife and two
daughters were coming home on the light
ming express In his grand carriage with
liveried attendants he rode to the depot,
thinking of his splendid business and
planning for the morrow: Hark! Did
some one say Accident There are
twenty-five railroads entering St. Louis.
If there has been an accident, it is not
likely to have occurred on the - and
Mississippi Railroad. Yet it troubles him.
1t is his business now. The horses are
stopped on the instant, and on inquiry
he finds that the accident has occurred
twenty-five miles distant on the - and
Mississippi. he telegraphs the superin-
tendent.

The answer flashes back, "No."

"a train with surgeons and nurses has
already gone forward, and We have no

With white face and anxious brow the
man PAGES the station to and fro. In q
half hour, perhaps, which seemed half
century, the train arrived: BE hurried
toward IL, and in the tender found the
mangled bodies and lifeless forms of his
wife and one of his daughters. In the
following lay the other daughter with
cious life oozing slowly away.

was the cause Of the catastrophe.

tion, 1T is none of my business?"

BENNETT WILL FIGHT REQUlsI1l0N.
He Has Engaged Counsel to Resist the Move
Said to Have Quarreled With His Wife-had
Enlisted in Army.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 1S.-James B.
Bennett was arrested here today and is to
be taken back to Brunson, s. c., by Sher.
if John H. Lightsey, who came today for
him, provided q requisition is granted.
Bennett was wanted for one or two
reasons. The sheriff himself does not
seem quite certain which charge it is that
he will use in trying to get Bennett back
to Brunson.
Bennett was convicted some years ago
as being accessory to the murder of John
Lightsey, at Brunson, and was given a
life sentence. Eventually he was pardon
ed by the governor, but the pardon was
conditional upon his.never returning to
South Carolina. As he violated this con-
dition, the sheriff thinks he can get Ben
nett and have him serve out his life in the
penitentiary.
The other charge against Bennett is one
of murder. BE is charged with having
murdered his wife several weeks ago al
Brunson. Bennett declared it was an &C.
cident, and the coroner's jury accepted
his version of the killing and discharged
him.
Since his discharge Bennett has been to
Charleston, to North Carolina and finally
came here day before yesterday. He then
enlisted in the United States army and
was to have left tonight for Fort Caswell
NC.
Bennett declares that he shot his wife
accidentally, that she had got up in the
night without his knowledge and that as
she was re.entering the room he fired,
thinking her an intruder. he shot her
through the heart.
Sheriff Lightsey says that Benefits lit
tie girl now ssys that Bennett and his
wife had some quarrel before retiring the
night of the killing. This evidence was
not brought out before the coroner's jury.
Bennett, who is about 80 years old, has
employed counsel and will fight against
removal to South Carolina.

State, But Came Back and Accidentally
Killed His Wife.
Ben Bennett, the white man who jump.
ed into the public eye few weeks ago by
accidentally killing his wife while on a
visit home in violation Of the condition
of his pardon from the penitentiary-
which provided that he should not again
set foot on South Carolina soil-has been
arrested in Savannah, according to tel
egram received last night by Gov. Hey
ward from Sheriff Lightsey:
Savannah, Sept. 18.
D. c. Hayward, Governor, Columbia. S. c.
81. W. jenkins has Ben Bennett locked
up. Wire me what to do.
J. q. L1GHTsEY, Sheriff.
The governor replied to the sheriff that
he might have jenkins deliver Bennett
here, or that he would. send q man from
here to bring him in. The correspondence
did not indicate whether Bennett would
resist coming without requisitiou.
Since Benefits escape from Hampton
just after the killing of his wife the gov
ernor and Capt Griffith, superintendent
of the penitentiary, have been working on
the case energetically but quietly, and
though many never expected to hear of
Benefits capture, the telegram from the
sheriff Of Hampton was not a great sur
prise to the governor, although it was
very pleasing and gratifying to him. Gov.
Hayward said last night that he had in
formation which convinced him that the
Hampton sheriff has been doing his full
duty in this Bennett matter.
A telegram received latelast night from
Sheriff Lightsey informed the governor
that jenkins would deliver Bennett here.
