WONDERFUL ESCAPE OF WORKMAN.
Eel! From Top Of Steel Structure Into Rive
sixty.two Feet Below and Was
Uninjured.f

Arthur Turner, q white workman on
the new steel bridge being built over the
Congaree river between this city and
Cayce by the Southern railway, fell 81
feet from the bridge into the water and
escaped without injuries.
Turner is. one of the gang of steel
workers and was at his work on top OF
the great structure that is to span the
river and take the place Of the present
iron bridge. He stepped back suddenly
while moving to get piece of material,
and losing his footing, fell the entire dis
lance from the frame work into the
river beneath. Fortunately there were
no rocks in the water at the place where
he fell and no obstruction with which
he could come in contact with in his
descent. He struck on his face in the
deep water and after he came back to
the surface swan to the shore and
walked to his boarding house.
Fearing that the man was injured in
ternally, his friends called physician,
but except for an infamed face from the
impact of the fall into the water, there
was nothing the matter with him.-Co-

SPARTANBURG, October 1.-The verdict
rendered in the case of Ubi V. Millican
was the subject of much talk yesterday
on the streets of Spartanburg, the major
ity of the people being of the opinion
that Millican will receive pardon at the,
hands of Governor Hayward. The mem
bers of the jury which returned the ver-
dict against Millican have all signed a
petition for the pardon Of the young
man, and it is understood that an agree
ment was made by the jury before COM
ing out from the jury room that they
would all sign petition for pardon.
Judge Charles G.. Dantzler has ex-,
pressed his willingness to sign the petit.
ton, as has Solicitor T. s. Sease. In his,
argument on Thursday Mr.. Sease re-.
quested the jury to bring in a verdict of
manslaughter, in which event he would'
sign the petition asking for pardon.
MI. Sease stated that he was willing for
the boy to be pardoned, but that the gov.
ernor was the one to free the man, and
not the courts, for in his opinion Milli-
can had certainly violated the laws Of
the State. -. ~ -
Millican's attorney, Mr.. stanyarne
Wilson, stated yesterday that many per-
sons had expressed yesterday willing
ness to sign the petition, and that within
short time the petition would be sent
down to the governor. Millican is out
on 81 900 bond, pending an'appeal.

BRIDGE WHIST STlRS ROW.
Society Players Who Fail to Pay
Their Losses Are Ostracised.

ZANEsv1IIE, Ohio, September 81
Bridge whist has torn this otherwise
peaceful and law abiding city from end
to end. So fierce has the commercial
spirit of the game become that women
who do not pay their debts are ostra-
cised. They are dunned for the debt
with more firmness than the grocer or
the butcher would dare use, and refusals
to settle are direful.
Bridge invaded GAINESVILLE last winter.
Society took up the game even TO the ex-
clusion of talking scandal-until recent
IL. Then there was reversion to the
first principles. The spread of bridge to
the suburbs caused it. , Among the su-
burbs that cling to GAINESVILLE are Terrace
and Putnam. The game was easy to
play, and losing didn't seem hard to a
young Putnam matron when she lost 500
to Terrace woman at a recent bridge
game. She didn't have to put up the
money. Likewise did another Putnam
player lose 81 to the same woman at the
same time. The husband didn't figure in
the bridge game, but "Mrs. Terrace" told
him about it.
1--WE need the money" said he, and
sent a bill for $40 to the Putnam woman.
Likewise he sent bill for 81 to the other
loser. Neither has RENTED, and both
have been carefully ignored by several
hostesses in sending out invitations to
balls and receptions. All concerned are
wealthy and prominent in society.-1n-

NEGRO CONDEMNED TO DIE
MARLBORO COUNTY NEGRO GETS DEATH
SENTENCE FOR RAPE.
Richard Darsan, Mho Assaulted Mrs. Peterson,
Tried at Special Term Of Court and
will Be Hung October 10TH

BENNETTsv1LLE, Oct. 8-At4o'clock
this afternoon, Richard Dargan was
sentenced to be hanged on Oct. 19,
for criminal assault. Judge Hudson
rushed the trial through, taking only
half hour for dinner.
Mrs. Patterson, heavily yelled,
told of the crime. After she and
her two children retired a man called
and tried to get her out. She re.
fused, and he attempted to break in.
She and the children ran in their
night clothes toward John Pearson's
a negro, nearby. The man caught
her on the way and accomplished his
purpose. She recognized her assail-
ant as Richard Dargan, whom she
knew we'll. She and the children
screamed for help. The children ran
on to the negro house, and she fol.
lowed them as soon as she could, all
screaming, so that people nearly q
mile away heard them. Pearson and
his wife, to whose house they went,
said they were awakened by the
screams. The children ran in and
told them that man had mamma.
She came a little later, excited and
exhausted, and told them that Rich
ard Dargan had committed the crime.
She got the negro to come to Ben
nettsville for her brothers. Mrs.
Patterson's 11-year-old daughter cor
roborated her evidence. Several
negroes saw Dargan in that neigh
borhood that night, and he told one
that he wanted to hug Mrs. Patter-
son. He was captured in a swamp
next day.
Dargan went on the stand and de-
MED the crime. He was defended
by J. w. Legrand, appointed by the
court. Newton & Owens prosecuted.
There was a large crowd of spec
tators, but no demonstration. Every
body, white and black, seemed to
want Dargan to get q fair trial and
his Just deserts. Both races univer-
sally approve the verdict.
