A Danish Cadet Ship Rammed by
an English Steamer.
BOYS DIED IN BUNKS.
The Ships Came Together ia the Dark.
ness of the Night Near Copenhagen,
Denmark. and at Least Twenty
Two Persons Lost Their
Lives Id the Crash.

A dispatch from Copenhagen, Den
mark, says serious disaster occurred
Monday night near here, when the
Danish cadet training schooner Georg-
Stage was 7ammed and sunk By the
British steamer Ancona. The Georg-
Stage sank in one and one half minu-
tes. Twenty-Five cadets were drowned
and 81 rescued.
The boys were all in their. .bunks at
the time OF the disaster. The night
was overcast but 1t was not so dark
that objects could not be seen at some
distance.
The Ancona was considerably dam
aged along her water line. The port
authorities have placed an embargo
on the Ancona, which will remain here
until the inquiry into the the collision
is completed. Thus far only single
body has been recovered by the divers
who have gone down to the wreck.
First officer Myhre of the Georg-
Stage attributes the accident to the
Ancona changing her course. He said
Ghe Ancona's bow showed seven feet
INTO the training schooner's side,
ringing down the latter's nasts and
tgging, and preventing many Of the
csdets from gaining the deck. Those
sho were not entangled in the wreck
cse sprang on board the Ancona and
assisted in launching the life boats.
Myhre himself jumped into the water
and rescued many boys who were en-
tangled In the rigging.
The Georg. Stage was schooner Of
206 tons register and was 103 feet
long. Apparently she was training
vessel fo1 the mercantile marine and
vas owned by private firm Of Copen-
hagen.

Che.pest Thing Sold.
OF the BattEeship.

An exchange tIuthfully says: A
newspaper is sold the cheapest OF any
commodity on the face OF the earth.
Considering the great amount OF
work there Is put upon the publica-
tion OF newspaper, and the cost Of
getting it out, there is nothing made
and sold which brings so small a price.
For the reason that the majority OF
the people have no idea OF the infinite
labor and great expense attached to
the publication Of a newspaper, they
are apt to regard the copy they re-
ceive as Of small value.

TRUE TO HIS OATH.
Negroes Bound White Man to g.
Tree and
Threatened to Kill Him If Ee Did
Not Reveal the Secrets
ofFree Masonry.

Thomas Davenport, q prominent
citizsn Of Toccea, Ca, has been the
victim near Buford, Ca, OF one Of the
most vicious crimes ever perpetrateG
in this section. According to specia
dispatch to the Journal: Bound
gagged, hoodwinked, forced to do with
| out water or food for 80 hours, and al
the end OF that time hanged to a tree
and left for dead, is the experience he
passed through from 6 O'Clock Satur
day afternoon until early Sunday
morning. Davenport was brought tc
this place Sunday almost q tota
wreck, and the story he tells sounds
more like a tale Of border adventure
than an actual happening in ciViliz
ed community.
Davenport says that on Saturday
afternoon he was enticed from his
home in Toccoa by "a note, presuma
bly forged, from a friend In New Hol
land, little town on the Southern
railroad, two miles north OF Gains
vile. This note stated that DaVen
ports friend was in distress, and urg.
ed him to come to New Holland at
once. Unsuspecting, Davenport went
to New Holland on the first train, ar
irving there soon after dark.
About oEe-half mile from the New
Holland station while on the way tt
his friends home, Davenport says he
was seized by three negroes who bound
and hoodwinked him, and ordered hin
to make no sound under penalty o1
death. BE was tnen placed in a buggy
which was driven all Saturday night
Sunday morning he was taken from
the buggy and carried into the woods,
when be was ordered to disclose the
secrets of Masonry. Upon his refusing
he was tortured and threatened In var.
ious ways through the day. Finally,
Sunday at midnight, be was strung VI
to tree and left for dead. In order.
however, to make his case, as the ne.
groes said, appear one Of suicide, be.
fore Davenport was swung to the tree
bis bonds and hoodWink were removed
+ r the first time since his capture.
BE thus managed to catch to the tree
and hold while releasing himself from
the moose.
For several hours Davenport wan
dered in the wood in darkness emerg-
ing at last into road that led him to
the home OF Z Z,bediah Hannah, a prom.
inent farmer who lives three miles
from Buford. The news was at once
communicated to this place, when
Davenport was brought here and
placed On a train for bis home, and
his relatives at Toccoa notified Of bis
whereabouts.
There is the greatest excitement
here over the crime, and parties are
securing ali tracts Of woods in the vic
unity OF where Davenport found him
self, in an effort to obtain clue to
the identity OF whereabouts OF the ne.
groes. Officers are working on the case
from here and from New Holland, but
so far as is known no clue has yet been
discovered that promises capture OF
the criminals.

TIE EOLBRocK MURDER,
For Which Four Men Were Lynched
at Watkinsvilie, Ga.

The white man and three Of the
negroes lynched at Watkinsville, Ca,
Thursday morning, were held in Jail
t;r the brutal murder Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Holbrcok, and aged couple, which oc-
Cured in May. With their heaos
battered almost beyond recognition,
T. N. Holbrook and his wife, an aged
couple, were found murdered on the
light Of May on the back porch OF
their home, five miles below Watkins
vile. The couple lived by themselves
and owned a farln and country store.
The store swas found to have been
broken open and robbery wss the sup
posed motive for the murder.
Black, al aged negro, who was
waking near the home, discovered
the dead bodies at an early hour on
the morning following the murder
and gave the alarm. The nearest
neighbor was Adam Smith, who re-
sponded quickly ard vas joined BY
other nsignborS.
BiocdhoundS were secured from
Athens and every effort made to cap
ture the murderer, but without avail.
Citizens CT the village formed them.
selves into an Investigation COMMITTEES
and as result Of their work several
negroes were placed under arrest.
The store In which Mr.. Holbrook
was attacked is annexed to his house
and be was evidently showing his as.
sai.ants a suit OF clothes when he was
struck on the back OF the head with
q blunt instrument. The suit OF CLOTH
es was very bloody and his spectaclss
were found near spattered with blood.
He ran from the store room into his
bedroom probably to get his gun, as a
streak Of blood was found on the wal
near his gun. His body was found or
the porch.
His wife held piece Of scantling IN
her hand when found and had on only
one gar nent. She perhaps heard her
husband give an alarm and jumped
from the led and ran to his rescue.
When found the bodies were per,
tectly stiff and the crime was no doubt
committed early in the night. There
were nine holes made With blun'
instru nent in Mr.. Bolbrook'S head
and a mole made by a pistol ball il
Mrs Holbrook's head. After tht
bodies were enbalmed they lcoksc
quite natural, as the wounds were al
on the back OF the heads except ont
bruise on Mrs. Holbrolk'S face.

A SET OF RASCALS
Were the Men Managing the Equi-

table Life insurance Company.
''One by one the smooth gentlemen
connected with the management Of
the Equitable are being pulled out in
to the light" says the Columbia
State. 'Hsde and Alexander were
the first victims, but the work goes
on apace. Tae latest object Of in
quiry is Senator Depew. For years,
heaven knows just how many! this 'le-
gal adviser OF the Equitable company
has been drawing from that corpora
tion the annual salary Of $4,000 An
investigation into the scope Of his
duties seems to indicate that the most
OF his efforts were directed toward
seeing that the officials OF the Equita-
bic were not underpaid! Also that
they were equitably paid. When
young Mr.. HYDE found that in order
for him to maintain his retinue Of
servants and also pay bis automobile
bills he must have a raise Of s25, 1000 q
year in salary, Senator Depew, Gust
man that he isD saw to it that Mr..
Alexander, too, got a like increase.
There was nothing niggardly in Sena-
tor Depew's attitude toward young
Hyde; the senator was merely con-
cerned to see that there was no dis
elimination. By all means the hard
working Mr.. hyde should have his
raise but Mr.. Alexander, too, should
have his. And did MI. Depew also
grant himself an increase? Not a bit
Of it. he went right on working
zealously for his employing company
on his miserly salary Of $4,000!
Think OF the self.sacrifce, when he
might just as well have had $40, 900
OF even s140, 1000! AL honor to De-
pew! He worked hard raising the
salaries OF the other fellows, but not
one cent more for himself. Honest
old soul, he probably imagined that
he was not really earning more than
his twenty THOUSAND.
