DENIES NILES STORY.
Rev. j. w. Jones Says Mr.. Davis Had
Only Bitter Feeling Towards His
JaiIer.

A dispatch from Richmond says:
Rev. DR.. J. William Jones, chaplain Of
the United Confederate Veterans, who
was close friend of President Jeffer-
son Davis, is out in a lengthy state
ment denying the correctness of the
recollections Of Gen. Nelson A. Mics,
who has been the bette noir of the
south for forty years, because he put
Mr.. Davis in irons when the latter
was his prisoner at Fort Monroe.
DR.. Jones says the statement Of
Gen. Milessis most amazing one, and
that It is utterly at variance with the
facts in the case. In beginning his
statement DIR. Jones says:
I'm the controversy between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and others with Gen.
Miles, I have token no interest what
ever; indeed, have been disposed to
say: "a plague on both your houses. .
He then takes up Gen. Miles defense
at length and denies its allegations
seriatim.
DR.. Jones says that Gen. Miles was
never directed to iron Mr.. Davis, but
only empowered to do SO if it seemed
| necessary. He also pointed out that
Secretary of War Stanton reproved
him for lettering his prisoner and or
dered him to remove the irons.
Gen. Miles, says the Confederate
chaplain further on, can scarcely have
letters from Mrs. Davis thanking him
for his kindness to her husband, since
in her book on President Davis one
chapter is headed: "The Tortures In
ficted by Gen. Miles
To clinch the whole matter, DR..
Jones says:
'I will now briefly introduce one
| witness whose testimony is unim-
| peachable-I mean Mr.. Davis himself.
| I chanced to be at Beauvoir just after
he had sent to the North American
| Review a paper on The Treatment OF
Prisoners during the war between the
States, in which he had a paragraph
| which scorched Nelson A. Miles in
that severe manner Of which President
Davis was so capable when aroused.
He told me that the editor, who was a
! friend Of Miles, had written him that
he could not publish the paper unless
that graph was omitted.
| "Rising from his seat, his eyes fash
ing fire, and showing more feeling
than T ever saw in him upon any 9TH

MARION PARR coNFEssEs.
Condemned Murderer in Columbia
Jail, Influenced by Hearing
Prayer, Tells the Full Story Of
the Killing of Shealey.

Columbia, Feb. 17-Marion Parr
today made a full confession in the
county Jail that he killed Clarence
Shealey. Parr is under sentence of
death.
The Rev. Vernon I'Anson has been
the spiritual adviser Of Parr and has
done what he could for the poor fell
low
This morning Mr.. TAnson was Of
fering a fervent prayer, Parr, the Jail
er and two prisoners were on their
bended knees. Parr was much i'm
pressed with the prayer and asked to
make a confession. Mr.. I'Anson re-
minded the young man what he was
doing and then in the presence Of sew
eral others, Parr related to the Rev.
Mr.. PAnson how he killed Clarence
Shealey. Whisky he said, was the
cause of the tragedy.
Parr related that he went to see
Shealey at the little fishing camp, and
while there Shealey offered him a
drink of whiskey. Shealey told Parr
that the liquor had been poisoned and
whether there was anything in the
whiskey or not he did not know, but
it burned and scalded him, so that he
did not know what was the matter,
and for full forty hours the whiskey
burned and tortured him. He insisted
that he was not mad nor drunk, but
the whiskey simply enraged him and
he struck Shealey first in the face
with the edge of an iron carpenters
square and then he struck him back
of the head with the same square.
He said that all that day and the
next the whiskey had him wild and he
went home and told his wife that he
had killed Shealey. He insists that the
gun which was found at his. place was
brought to him by negro and that
he did not take it home.
AT the trial it was held that Parr
killed Shealey with a hoe and that he
took the gun home. Parr says he did
the killing with an iron carpenters
square and insists that the gun was
brought to him by a negro. Parr was
convicted entirely on circumstantial
evidence, chiefly that the gun, which
was in Shealey's tent, was found in
PARIS room. 1t was peculiarly mark
| ed on the plate.
The Rev Mr.. TAnson, who is greatly
beloved by all the people among
whom he works, believes the full de-
tails of PARIS confession.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Low Temperature and Deep Snsy
Have Prevented Full Revival Of
Business.

New York, Feb. 1T.-R. G. Dun &,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-
morrow will say:
Weather conditions still dominate
the trade situation. Low temperature
and deep SHOWS have interefed with
traffic and checked the revival Of busi-
ness that was we'll under way in most
sections Of the country. Retail distri-
button is not maintained, and the del
door work, while the interruption to
movement Of freight has affected
manufacturing to some extent. Prices
O. staple commodities at the ex-
changes are advanced by the restrict
ed receipts at primary markets.
,l-at v-hiIe there is evidence that y
fidence in the future remains un-
shake; preparations for spring and
summer trade continuing unabated
except where fuel or other supplies
are temporarily hlockaded in transit.
Jobbing trade in dry goofs is on lib
eral scale. Railway earnings thus far
reported for February were 1.9 per
cent. smaller than a year ago, proha-
bly, another another result Of bad
weather.
In the textile industries the most
significant event of the week was the
revival Of export buying Of cotton
goods for China.
Failures this week numbered 25S in
the. United States against PSI last
wear.
