Mob in Wall Street.
Howling Men and Boys Hunt
for 'Mr. Raf1les."

New York, Oct. 9.-The mys.
terious "Mr. Raffiles," " employ
ed by morning newspaper, ad
vertised that he would circulate
about the curb market in Broad
street between noon and one
O'Clock Friday afternoon, and
as result business in the Wall
street district was paralyzed for
nearly two hours. SO great and
disorderly was the crowd that
the doors Of the sub. treasury
were closed as a precautionary
measure. Reserves were order
ed from all the West Side
stations as far as Forty seventh
street, and for the rest of the
day Wall street did business un
der a strong police guard.
A compact mob of pushing ,
bowling men and boys engaged
in the pleasant occupation of
assaulting peaceful citizens on
more or les genuine surmise
that Of the persons so mauled
and buffeted one at least would
prove to be a certain journalist,
"Raffles, " for whose capture
the newspaper in question offer.
ed a $500 reward.
ALMOST TORN TO PIECES.
AS a result Of the disturbance
Police Commissioner McAdoo
issued orders that the man mas.
queraded as the mysterious "Mr
Satfles will be arrested. - Nu-
merous complaints have reach
ed from persons who have been
mistaken for the mysterious
"Mr. Rallies" and almost. torn
to pieces. The commissioner
said that he would go as far as
getting out a warrant should
such a step prove necessary.
The crowd looking for "Raf-
files" swarmed into Wall street
district with rush that swept
the bulls and bears off their
feet. When the hour of noon
arrived Broad street, south from
Wall and for more than two
blocks, was packed from curb
to curb, and Wall street from
Broadway to Williams street
was practically impossible.
Every man bearing the slight
est resemblance to the publish
ed photos of the mysterious
"Mr. Raffies'' was stopped and
questioned. Some of the victims
had their clothing torn off by
the eager mob. Dozens of young
men were thrown down and
trampled by persons anxious to
grab them and claim a reward
for recognizing the mysterious
"Mr. Raffles."

The Camden Mystery.
A Slight Clue Said to Have
Been Found---Inquest Ad-
journed Until Next Friday.
Special to The State,

now some little clue to the iden
tity of the Mcdowell murderer.
1t seems to be ever so vague
and holds out little hope of the
ultimate success of the earnest
efforts which are now being
made to get on the right trail.
But the coroner's jury, all de.
termined and patient men, will
not be found disregarding any
circumstances, however insig-
nlhcant 1T may appear to be, in
their elSorts. The development
since yesterday, whatever it
may have been, was of sufficient
Importance to cause the coroner
to adjourn the sitting, which
was ordered for this morning.
until next Friday at $500 o'clock.
There was certain matter
about which Chief Halle felt
very hopeful and the coroner
was determined to facilitate his
inquiry as far as he could.
DR.. A. w. Burnet, who was
the first physician to reach the
side of the dead man, was sworn
and gave his opinion as to the
cause of death. He said that
he was called to see Mr.. Nc
Dowell between 8 and 10 O'Clock
on the night of the killing and
found him dead when he reach
ed his side. He was still warm,
he said, and had been dead but
a few minutes.
After the examination of the
wounds he concluded that death
was caused by direct blow
from some sharp edged instru-
ment which produced fracture
OF the base of the skull. In
DIR. Burnet's opinion he never
knew what hit him and was un
conscious from the reception of
the wound. The direct result
of death was hemorrhage of the
brain.
He thinks Mr.. Mcdowell was
unquestionably struck from be
hind. The instrument of death
was either curved or flexible.
He thought that a piece of lead
or iron had been used. In DR..
Burnet's opinion the same in
strument was used on both men.
Mr.. Porter's wound was on
the right front of the head and
the assailant would have had to
reach over to have delivered the
blow from behind.
Mr.. W. F. Russell made a
statement about a hatchet which
he found near the body. 1t was
hand axe, weighing about two
and half pounds, has been in
use for some time and the edge
is capped. When found it had
no handle in it.
Mr.. Russell found it near the
body and after he and DR..
Burnet and Mr.. f. D. Blakeley
had examined it he turned it
over to Chief Halle. Other wit
nesses will testify next Friday.

u
through the prompt work of it's
correspondents, an estimate of
the condition Of the cotton
market in this State, giving re-
ports from practically all the
county seat towns which are
rated as cotton markets.
While these reports are neces-
sarily not exact, they give a
fair idea of The situation in
South Carolina at present. The
most prominent idea brought
out by the correspondents is
that the crop Of this year has
matured early and that a large
proportion Of it has been gath.
cred al this time, much more
than is usual before the middle
of October. This fact must be
taken into consideration when
the amount of cotton being held
is estimated and when the dis.
position of the farmers as to a
higher price is considered. 1t
is apparent that during the first
few weeks of the present season
the farmers were induced by
the favorable price to put Their
cotton on the market and that
since the recent slump there has
been very general withdrawal
from the market and the farm
ers are more disposed to hold
for higher price. This shows
incidentally, that the farmers
on the whole regard 10 cents as
a fair price for cotton, that it is
indeed an attractive price to
them.
That there Will be no sales to
amount to anything at 10 cents
is amply demonstrated by the
statement from so many towns
that there was practically no cot
ton on the market yesterday,
when the price was ranging
around 81 cents.
The effect of organization
among the farmers is shown bv
these reports. In those counties
where the Southern Cotton as
sociation is most thoroughly or
ganized the farmers are keeping
their cotton off the market most
Eersistently and successfully
The effect of warehouses is
shown by the statements from
those counties where the ware
houses are accessible, as in
Richland and Greenwood. The
number of bales in storage this
year is much greater than the
average. THIS proves that where
ware ehouses are located the hold
ing movement can be made
most successful.

The Seventh Angels.
Benjamin and Mary are the seventh
from Johanna Southcott, the English
woman who founded the strange sect
more than century ago. She was said
to have succeeded in interpreting the
Flying Roll" spoken of in the book
of Revelation, or the apocalypse Of st.
John. OF course, before interpreting she
had to find it, as st. John merely saw it
in one of his visions and he failed or
neglected to translate it. But the Eng
lish woman saw it again. She not only
saw it. She read it. 1t was in the
vernacular of "old merrie England" and
she succeeded in copying it into terse
and vigorous English. She was the first
messenger" of a new faith. After her
came three other messengers. Then
came John Wroe, who was the fourth
messenger, and next came the somewhat
famous James j. Jezreel. Benjamin,
therefore, is clearly the seventh in
descent. But he alone of the seven mes
sengers is to have the browning glory of
an immortal body, for Benjamin is the
| last of the messengers" and it has been
determined that he shall see the millen-
NAL age and Christ, its only ruler and
that after 1000 years on earth he shall
ascend into Heaven with the entire host
of the 144 900 to be numbered among the
| elect.

always dangerous. A strange mixture
of truth and error has brought large
company of people together in this city
in preparation for the second coming
Of Christ, and the Inauguration OF the
millennial age.
Benjamin and Mary, the long-haired
prophet and prophecies of these Israel
ties as they call themselves, for they
claim to have discovered themselves as
one of the lost ten tribes, can quote you
the Scripture which would seem to justi-
fly their ideas, for the many pecuiarities
of their faith are taken from the Bible.
So does Dowie use the Word of God,
for he bases all his strange claims upon
the teachings of the Sacred Book. So
does Mrs Eddy use or misuse it, finding,
as she believes, teachings which have
given the world Christian Science. So
have scores and hundreds of other peo-
pie in this day and in days gone by used
Gods Word to bolster up their peculiar
ideas of religion.
1t has been said that it is possible to
go to the Bible and find seeming author
ity for any faith or practice which dis
torted or diseased human mind or heart
could want And it is also true that no
matter how absurd or pernicious doc
trine one may advance, there are always
people to be found who will accept and
follow it as the truth.
But we did not start out to deliver a
lecture on the use and misuse Of the
Bible, but our purpose is to tell the story
of the colony of the House of David
formerly known as the Flying Rollers, y
or the "Holy Rollers" as clearly and
fairly and fully as possible, believing
that the story will prove interesting as
well as instructive. But we wanted tc
emphasize the fact that the doctrines
which the "Israelties" believe and teach
find their seeming justification in the
Bible Certain truths are taken from
theirpropersetting and into others theil
own interpretation are read, so that We
find a strange tumble, confused mass
of truth and error, and, as we have al
ready said, half truth is always dan
gerous truth.

Mission of the Sect.
1t is the mission of the "Israelites" to

earth once more. They assert that the

expected to be made manifest at any mo-
ment to all the world"
This is more decidedly startling than
anything that the "Israelites," the
whilom Flying Rollers" had an
nounced at any time before. 1t was I'M
