er confessor read the prayers for the
dying, Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who
was sentenced to die upon the gallows
Friday for tie murder of her husband,
listened with amazement to the an
nouncement OF High Sheriff Henry H.
Peck, that Governor Bell had granted
her q reprieve Of four months.
Preparations for the execution had
been perfected. The gallows had been
erected in the west wing of the prison,
a heavy black curtain hanging from
tho guard room windows shutting the
gruesome machinery Of death from
public view. Sheriff Peck carried the
news Of the reprieye to the prisoner.
Mrs. Rogers was seated at a table
writing letter to her mother Ap-
parently supposing that the sheriff had
come to read the death warrant, she
arose and moved toward the door,
Sheriff Peck had never seen MIS-.
Rogers before that moment. Walking
up to the door, he said: MRS. Rogers,
| am the sheriff. have brought you
good news"
81 am glad to meet you, Mr. Sheriff
said Mrs. Rogers as she extended her
hand through the grating. What is
the good news?"
Governor Bell has granted you re-
prieye until June g." replied the
sheriff.
Mrs. Rogers remained like a statue,
as though unable to comprehend the
meaning of the words. Without
sign of emotion, she gazed at the sher-
iff moment, and then said: II had
given Up all hope, but am glad that
the Governor has granite me more
time. He is good man."
Mrs Rogers then thanked the .sher-z
if and his companions for the infor-'
nation they brought her. She seemed
unaffected by the tidings, and as the
party moved away from the door OF
the death cell, she retired to the table
and resumed writing.
The Governor said he granted the re-
prieve in order that opportunity might
be given for a new trial, and only On
the ground that Mrs. Rogers claims
through her attorney that she has not
had a fair trial and that the evideace
presented against her was false.
Five hundred dollars was offered to
Harold Harpin, guard IN the State
prison, if he would carry a package OF
poison to Mrs. Rogers. The offer was
made in an anonymous letter from Bos-
ton containing $3.50 in bills, which Har-
pin received recently. The writer Offer
ed to send the other $3.50 as soon as
the poison was delivered to Mrs.
Rogers. The guard turned the letter
over to Supt Oakes, who showed it to
Governor Bell. Postal authorities nave
been asked to investigate the letter.

News of the Day.

With not a cloud overhead there was
quite little snow storm at the Spar
tan Mills yesterday, says the Spartan
burg Journal. The fall Of snow was
confined to one particular section of the
mill community, the site of the hot
water reservoir, and the ground for
some distance around was covered with
a thick blanket of white. The snow
storm was caused by the steam, which
arose in q great volume from the hot
water reservoir, and, as it came in con-
tact with the cold atmosphere, was
converted into snow.
