td from the partly swung bridge into
the river at Wells street Wednesday
night as the bridge moved back into

savers who leaped from boat and docks
to the river were futile, as the victim
failed to rise to the surface after the
fall. The playing Of the excursion

Constables Suspendod.

Gov. Hayward has suspended for 80
days w. ]. Gideon and J. p, Harling,
two dispensary conStables charged
with unwarranted conduct. The COM
plaint was made by j b. Herriot, o
Columbia, butcher, who has bsen un-
der suspicion by the constables. The
two named went to Herriot's resi-.
dence on Gadsden street and presented
search warrant on the afternoon Of
July 9th. Two ladies' were sitting on
the porch. One constable made n
search despite the remonstrances Of
the ladies that Herriot was not at
home. The constables had gone by
l1erriot's place Of business and had
there been told that Herriot was at q
ball game. Gov. Hayward acted Tues.
day upon the the recommendation Of
a. S. Osborne, division chief constable,
who had made a'Care1ul eGan1iiatton
of the circum stances. The suspen-
sion will last for 30 days. 1t is said
In Osborne's report to Chief Hammet
that he suspected Herrlot OF storing
liquor in the basement OF his residence
for Hunt Bros. Herriot, accompanied
by lawyer, presented the papers to
Gov. Hayward Tuesday, and Chief
Hammet was instructed at once to
suspend the constables for 80 days.
Gov. Heyward's position Is that the
constables should not have searched
the place until Herriot himself was
present. They had ample evidence of
his absence.

MANY Shocks.

a dispatch from Portsmouth, N.
H., says series OF earthquake shocks,
the Severest ever experienced In this
section, were felt here late Wednes-
day evening. Buildings trembled
pcrce ptibly, dishes were shaken from
shelves, and In many cases people
rushed In terror from their houses
into the street. There were three
distinct shocks and in each instance
the tremor was accompanied by q
sound like distant explosion. The
first impression was that the powder
magazine at the navy yard had eA-
ploded, and hundred OF queries along
this line were received as the yard.
There had boen no explosion, however,
and the shocks were felt along the
entire New Hampshire coast line.

progress Of the anti-Amcrcan boycott
In China: In regard to the at

feeling OF hostility to American goods,
have the honor and pleasure to re
port that the movement has been a
failure. Several attempts have been
made to organize the anti American
sentiment, but each meeting resulted
in stronger declaration in opposition
to interfering with the sale Of Amerl

would have nothing to do with q
movement to boycott American goods
and They advised their friends to re-

wished to pay the claim, whenever the
State asked it, and explained that q
delay had been requested Of his comp.
any but 1t had been declined upon the
ground that 1t was question between
Bouzard and the State with which the
surety company had nothing to do,
and that the only course left to Mr..
Jackson was to pay the claim when
requested by the State and then deal
with the accused. Board was then
given until August 10th to adjust the
matter.
On the latter date Attorney Moss
advised Mr.. Jackson at Atlanta, Ca,
that Bouzard's attorneys reported
that nothing practical has come out
Of their investigation. They found
that BouZard had sent five statements,
claiming certain remittances had been
sent State treasurer, but that none OF
these remittances had been received
by the State treasurer, the amount of
these remittances aggregating 81, $40,
90.
On the recommendation of Attorney

Immediately paid by the American

Der Of marriages of the "Wiszhoff"
order have taken place among the

CATION that had been made through

years. Witzhoff joined 1t more than
five years ago and became a leader.

victimized above 900 girls.
Il believe that we will be able to
find large number Of the women who
have been married by Witzhoff, Kauf-
man and the others, but the difficulty
OF getting direct testimony, from even
the people who have been swindled, is
understood only by those who are
familiar with the resi- tents Of the dis
tric5 aud their reluctance to air their
trouble in court.
And might say that the marriage
OF these girls to these men, and their

you can readily understand why it Is
that these families pocket their losses

somo Searching Questions Aeked
the Mayor of N wbcrry,
The Newberry News and Herald
propounds q few searching questions
to the mayor OF that city. 1--WE are
willing" says the Editor, ito admit
for the sake ct.argument that possibly
our moral acumen-the light to know
the distinctions between wrongs-is
possibly not quite so acute as that OF
our distinguished mayor and for that
reason we humbly implore the priyi.
leRe OF making an inquiry without the
intent OF condoning wrong doing in
any shape or form. We stand for the
moral purity and uplifting of this com.
munity as strongly as does our distin-
guished mayor, that is in proportion
to our ability to do so.
Now we would like to know whore
he draws the distinction between a
little social game Of cards that Is not
disturbing any one and betting on an
intercollegiate game Of baseball, right
out in the open, or possibly he and his
vlgilant policemen did not know such
thing was going on the past summer.
Is social game Of cards more heinous
ip his sight than bucket shop where
man can go and gamble on the mar.
ket and lose from 800 to any amount
before he can turn down the steps.
And has he not licensed the buck
OF shop to do business In this city at
so much per year and does he not
know that gambling Is going on there
every day on large scale, and does
he consider that right and proper.
Does he consider this right and lit.
tile game OF cards so heinous that he
must make an eavesdropper cut of hio
policemen to find out If gentlemen are
playing social game Of cards. Under.
stand THAT we are not saying either
one Is right but we are asking q high.
or authority for information and to
draw the distinction of moral turpi-
tude
rs a man gentleman who puts
up hur rdred on the cotton market or
an intercollegiate baseball game and
the one who plays social game of
cards a gambler. That is the question
we put to our distinguished mayor. II
he allows and licenses the one why is
he so anxious to rectify the other. Is
1t moral and legal question or what?"
We Will await the answer of the may.
or with interest. Like the Editor of
the News and Herald we would like
to have a little light on the questions
he propounds. We are old fashioned
possibly In our notions, but TO our
mind gambling is gambling no matter
whore it is done.
