CONSULATE, SAID TO HAVE
STOLEN LARGE SUNS.

CHICAGO, Dec. &c: Treason,
treachery and graft were the mIldest
terms applied BY Peter victorowitS to
the legal bureau conducted by the
late NicoIai de Raglan in connection
with .1assian consulate in Chicago.
victorowitz, a former employe Of
De Raglan, says the latter paid him.
'hush money up almost to the day Of
her death. De Raglan. who is the wo-
man who fecentiy died in Arizona aft
Ter posing for years as a man. holding a
clerkship in the Russian consulate and
marrying two Chicago women, Is de-
cIared by vlctorowitz to have been
the moving spirit in the alleged graft
ing even after her dismissal from the
consular service on a charge of the
theft Of an Important State paper.
Money was taken in large sums by
De Raglan. vtctorowitz said in for.
mer statement to Assistant States
Attorney Zolitkotf today for transmits
sion to Russia and then never account
ed for. He does not pretend to say
how much these sums will aggregate
but remarks that they were sufficient
to make De Raglan rich.
"The usual excuse was" says Vic
torowltz's statement that Russian
revolutionary conditions had made
the transmission of the money impossi'
bic. and that it was impossible to GET
it back. AS a mater Of fact half this
money or more never left Chicago"

Served Him Right.

A rumor has reached Florence to
the effect that well known citizen
residing in the lower part of the
county was visited by white-cappers
one night last week and severely
whipped. Report is to the effect that
he was not what he should have been
to his family and party of neighbors
went to his home, called for him and
as soon as he appeared ordered him
to march ahead of the crowd to a
patch of woods nearby. There, the
story runs, he was given sound
thrashing, coupled with the admoni-
ton that if his conduct was repeated
at his home he would receive further
attentions at the hands of his neigh
bors. The man is said to be in a
serious condition as result of the
drubbing he received.

True Bill Found.

Sheriff NJ. NJ. Limehouse, of Dor
chester county, has been indicted by
the grand jury for malfeasance in
office in that he allowed a mob to
take from him Will Spain, a negro,
who was afterwards lynched. The
lynching occurred last August near
St. Georges. The killing was done
by dozen men in broad daylight
after the negro had been taken into
the county jail.
The negro was attempting to enter
the residence of Mr.. S. L. Connor, at
Badham, in which the 11-year-old
daughter of Mr.. Connor was alone,
but was frightened and ran away by
Mr.. Connor's coming up. He was
afterwards caught and turned over to
the sheriff, but was taken away from
that official and shot to death.
The sheriff will be suspended by
the governor during his trial and the
