SUSPENDED BY GOVERNOR.
Sheriff Limehouse, Of Dorchester
Must stand Trial.


Must stand Trial.
On last Saturday Gov: Hsyward is.
sued tho formal order suspending
Sheriff N. M. Limehouse, Of Dorches-
tor on account of bis being indicted by
the Dorchester grand jury for malfea.
sance in office In that he allowed q
party of about fifteen white men to
take . negro named Will Spain from
him and lynch him.
The Governor acted upon official no.
tifcation presented to him Saturday
by Solicitor Hildebrand, who went tc
Columbia with . certified copy Of the
presentmsnt OF the grand jury in tic
case of the Sheriff. The action Of the
jury meets the approval of nearly al
the people In the county, but there
Is much sympathy for the sheriff.
By the operation Of the law itself
the coroner succeeds the sheriff, unit,
the sheriff is acquitted and relnstated,
or convicted and removed when new
sheriff will be appointed by the Gov.
ernor. The coroner Is Pink Kiser,
OF the Indian Fields section OF Dor
chester.
Sheriff Limehouse will be tried In
one Of the counties contiguous to DIR
chester, tho particular county to DO
named by the attorney General. Nj
Limehouse is aboul go years old. He
served through the war in Hampton's 8
Legion. 1t seems pathetic that he
should now be charged with eowardice,
by Inc application.
Solicitor Hildebrand spoke ina very
sympathetic way about Mr.. Lime
house: "Mr. Limehouse Is not In.
dicted for 60 Hardioe, and I do not be-
lieve him lacking In personal cour-
ege, " said the solicitor. HE simply
does not seem to understand the du.
ties of bis off1co. He has allowed q
number of prisoners to escape. by too
easy going. He is old and incompe-
tent. We feel for him down there,
but it is necessary to have 9 new
sheriff. He is good old fellow, but
he ;s 81 imply not the man to be sher'
if of Dorcsester. His friends did him
an Injustice in electing him sheriff. "

The lynching of Will Spain some
months since gave rise to the trouble.
The negroes in tho vicinity Of st.

TELLS OF srEUNENBERG PLOT.
Harry Orchard Repeats Murder Confession,
duplicating Nine FEEDER alton Onicers.

CALDWELL, Idaho, March HAIRY Or
ohard, the self-confessed dynamiter Of
former Governor Steunenberg, was brought
here to-day from Boise and appeared before
the Grand Jury.
He repeated his story Of two unsuccess-
full attempts to slay the former Governor,
One Of these was an effort to shoot him at
his home a week or so before the murder,
A favorable opportunity did not arrive.
Prior to that it seemed a bomb was laid
in the pathway taken by the Governor.
1t was arranged with a wire stretched
across the rath. The intended victim q,
however, unConsciously stepped over the
wire and never knew how close he had been
to death.
That was the same bomb that after
ward killed him. The bomb was like the
one laid for Justice Goddard in Denver,
having a bottle of sulphurio acid 80 ar
ranged that the cork would be drawn by a
pull on the wire.
When the successful attempt was made
a long fishline was attached to the wire,
the bomb being tied to the inside Of the
g~atepost. A pull on the line fired the in
fernal machine and accomplished the
object. The unsuccessful attempt was
made in November. Orchard spent two
weeks there in that month, from the 18th to
the 2od. Orchard said the plot was watched
by officers Of the Western Federation Of
Miners and that the organization supplied
him with money.

The publication Of THE manuscript 40
count by Lady Dc Lancey OF her tragic
experiences during and Immediately after
the battle Of Waterloo, with letters from
Sir Walter Scott and Charles Dickens ex-
pressing their admiration for Lady De

article of the April Century. Col. De Lanoey
was fatally wounded in the battle and his
wife nursed him under the hardest of on

feature of the narrative is the light it
throws upon the primitive condition of

however, was not unpleasing.
A small, but very high browed aud nee
welcomed the German actress, appla ded
her Moderatalv through three acts and
demonstratively at the conclusion of the

a Mdqdd who wept INCREASINGLY, She
pleased in the scene with the caddish hypo-
critic, Won Keller, and more notably in the
final scene with the old Lieut,-Cot, Sndrtse,
