Marion Parr Pays Penalty.

Columbia, April 14.-Marion Parr, the
cotton mill operative murderer of the
boy, Clarence Shealey, whom he killed in
most brutal manner by slipping up be-
hind him, apparently in drunken frenzy,
and cleaving his skull with q hoe, paid
the death penalty on the gallows here to-
day with smile on his face and without
tremor. Under the influence of spirit
ual advisors, who have constantly been
with him, he was keyed up with religi.
Gus fervor which sustained him to the
last. He was pronounced dead in A min
utes, his neck having been broken by the
fall. The coarseness of his features was
even more pronounced in death than in
life.

made up of day coaches, Pullman
sleepers, dining cafe and parlor cars, be-
sides the usual baggage, express and
mail cars, making ten or eleven cars in
the traiu, and it is certainly pleasure to
travel on this magnificent road, where
everything is done that can be done for
the comfort of the travelling public. We

rare occurrence on the Seaboard system.

Boston, Feb. 7.-Nearly all the

coast between Passamaquoddy and
Narraganset bays were last night
closed tightly with Ice. while the
larger harbors, including Boston,
Portsmouth, N. H., Portland, Maine,
and Providence. y J.. were filed wit
huge floating cakes that impeded and
endangered navigation. The south

that today will bring about conditions
even worse than those that have exist
