CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY DEBT FREE.
Cardinal Gibbons Reports That Endowment
Fund Is Nearly Half a Million.

Cardinal Gibbons. as chancellor OF the Catholic
University. has sent out his annual letter 20 the
archbishops and bishops OF the country, n which
he says that the university is free OF debt.
The endowment fund started little over year
ago has reached almost $4,000. 1t is purposed
raise an even million dollars. The Cardinal attrib
utes the success OF the university almost entirely
70 the efforts Of the rector, MonsignOr OConnel,
although il is known that he himself contributed
largely out Of his own resources to save the uni
versity after the discovery OF the unfortunate
Waggarnan affair
Because Of Monstgnor OConnelIs personal work
however It Is intimated that he will soon be sig
nalIy honored by the Pope. There is talk OF his
going into the diplomatic service. The Cardinal in
his letter says:
am happy to state, with a great feeling Of grat.
ftude that amount Of the collection for 1906 0S
was 500 4S9 -. The university is now free of debt
and this sum has been employed partly in increas-
ing the endowment fund, which at present amounts
10 S43l ,290 46. and partly 10 meeting current ex-
penses. -, -,
faithful people have enabled the university 70 dis
charge fully all its financial obligations and 10
continue It's work during most critical period
without closing a department or releasing a pro-
fessor I am now repaid for many an anxious care
suffered during last few years in order to place
the university a sound financial basis

WANTS BOARD OF AWARD.
Controller to Ask Legislature for
Property Condemnation Commission

Controller Metz will try to have the Legislature
pass law for the organization of a permanent
condemnation commission of twenty-four men,
bers for this city The Controller says that the
present method of condemning property is en-
erey too costly and cumbersome.
1T costs about much to condemn $1,000
worth of property under the present system as
1t does to condemn $5O0O0O worth" said the
Controller yesterday. Il believe that the present
method is obsolete and that the city
time and money by having a permanent COM
mission of about twenty-four members. have
been talking it with various officials, and
think we shall send bill to Albany this winter
for a permanent commission"
The Controller has been looking state
ment issued from his office yesterday giving the
figures involved in condemnation proceedings
from January l up TO September %. There
were eighteen proceedings. The awards amount
ed TO 81. 80. 4o5. and cost $SG.25l- This made
the percentage of expenses to the awards .O1SS.
The Controller said that many people seemed 70
have the idea that condemnation proceedings
are IN every instance very costly TO the city
and that they always run as high as Is and 20
per cent OF the awards for property. The Con-
troller's statement would seem TO refute this, as
the percentage of expenses to awards for 1900
was 023S and for 1904 .01T9.
The statement shows condemnation proceed
ings other than for street openings and the

1t is stated that since this transfer

1t is stated that since this transfer
there has not been pleasant feelings
between Mr.. Parks and Mr.. Oovar.
1t seems that there was some
trouble about business matters, and
that Mr.. Parks came down from Co.
lumbla Friday morning to straighten
out the matter. All the parties were
together In o conversation for some
time Friday morning and they
separated. 1t was only q short time
when they came together again, and
the shooting took place as above stat.
cd. 1t Is reported that a mar tele-
phoned to MI. Parks at Columbia
Thursday and advised him not to
come to Orangeburg Friday, asking
him to have his business transacted
either through other parties or by
correspondence, stating to Mr.. Parks
that Mr., Covar had threatened to XIII
him If he interfered. 1t Ia also rumor-
ed that Mr.. Covar had been informed
that Mr.. Parks intended to kill him
on account of some reports that he
had heard. We believe this idle
Rancy Sinle's talk is what caused the
whole trouble.
The fact Is that both parties acted
on the idle talk they had heard and
were we'll armed and prepared fer
shooting Without delay. The father
Of Mr.. Covar, an old gentleman, who
resides here with his son. was also
armed. He did not attempt to shoot
aud returned his pistol to his pocket
when the pistol was taken away from
his son. After the fusilade when Mr..
Oovar was walking forward after Mr..
Parks, ss stated above, the old gen.
tleman called to his son to stop, which
no did.
Tho unfortunate affair has created
q great deal Of excitement, which 90
curing as 1t did, In 80 public a place.
Mr.. Parks was o native Of E1gefield
county and came to OranReburg from
Marion several years ago. During
his stay In Orangeburg he was In the
newspaper work and had many friends
in this city as we'll as county, who
will be shocked to hear Of his tragic
death. Some years ago Mr.. Parks
married Miss Annie Perreyolear, q
daughter Of Capt. w. III Perreyclear,
Of this city, who with two sweet little
boys survive him.
Mr.. r. H.. Oovar vas also q native
of Edgefeld, and has been q resident
Of this city for some years. Since he
came here he has conducted himself
in such a way as to gain the conf
denoo and respect Of all who have
come In contact with him. He, like
Mr.. Parks, has many friends all over
the county, as we'll as In town. He
has o wife and several children, who
are terribly grieved over the sad af-
fair. Mr.. Ocvar Ia now at home suf.
fering from the wound in his shoulder
and 1t will be O. long time before he
will be able to do any work again.
