BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
One of the Troubles Small Counties
Have to Contend With.

According to a letter containing
much vigorous language, Governor
Ansel received Thursday from Mr.. W.
n. Faulling publisher Of the Echo
and Press at Monck's Corner, in Ber-
kelley county, somebody has been
tampering with the court schedule IN
that neck of the woods for the pur-
pose of securing delay in the trial OF
a number of criminal cases.
Mr. Faullilg encloses an editorial
clipping from his paper, which cries
out against the shame that has been
practicsd against the people of Berke-
ley county" He says that for some
reason. which he is unable to explain
but on which Senator Haynes Of the
county may be able to throw some
light, the February term Of court was
passed up altogether, although the
criminal docket was the heaviest IN
the history of the county. FIVE murder
cases awaiting trial now.
And according to the new court
schedule for Berkeley, which was
provided for in the last Legislature,
there will be no more regular terms
til! next September, which will be =
oonths from the last term. Mr.
Fauliing says the chief justice has
signed an order for a special term to
be held this month. but he wants the
governor to look into the situation
generally.
In the editorial clipping some
Judge. whose name is not called, is
severely scored for eaguiring when
the next train left Monck's Corner
soon as he landed in town The edl-
sor says that the next Judge, who
came to hold court there should nave
the fact impressed upon his mind
that Berkeley is a part Of the State.

MILLION DOLLARS ASKED
AS Ransom for the Little Stolen
Marvin Boy.

A dispatch from Dover. Del, says
one million dollars is the ransom
asked for little Horace Marvin by
Salvatore Antoine, of Hoboken, from
whom Dr.. Marvin received letter
Thursday morning.
Antoine says he has the child in
his custody, and if an advertisement
is inserted in a New York paper tell
ing where Dr.. Marvin will meet him,
he will deliver the baby. On the
back Of Antone's letter, large black
hand was drawn.
DR.. Marvin received about thirty
letters Thursday morning from all
parts of the country. Most Of them
offered coincidence, the writer's ex-
pressing the belief that the child l.
dead. One writer suggested that Dr..
Marvin advertice in the papers Of 10
largest cities Of the country. Clere-
land was underscored several times.
Dr.. Marvin said he would advertise
in all the Cleveland papers.
DR.. Marvin was informed Thursday
morning that the Pinkerton detec-
tives, who had been working on the
case, since the child was reported
missing, had withdrawn.
The distracted father was hurried
lv summoned from the Capito! Hotel
Thursday morning by the report
that his baby had been round dead
in the woods near the farm at Dover
Del. The rumor proved to be un-
true

SAFE AND Sane.
Harmon of Ohio is Suggested as
Such a Candidate.
Some Are OF the Opinion, However,
That He Is Too Safe and Sane to

Zacn McGhee, the Washington cor,
respondent of the State says the con.
servative Democracy has fixed upon
candidate for the presidency, so the
tale goes in Washing ton. 1t is Judson
Harmon of Ohio: He was attorney
general in President Cleveland's sec.
ond term.
The information comes from an
Eastern Democrat of national repu-
tation, and 1t strongly appears that
the forces of the Parker nomination
in 1904 are back of it. Harmon Is to
be the safe and sane" candidate as
against Bryan, the unsafe and in
sane" candidate. That's the pro-
gram.
Harmon made an excellent attorney
general, and since his retirement has
been practicing law in Ohio. He did
one notable public service about 3
years ago when President Roosevelt
appointed him to look into the alleg-
ed violation of the anti-rebate law
the Ateh son, Topeka and Sante
Fe railroad. >,
Harmon looked into it and found
that Paul Morton, member Of the
presidents cabinet was the guilty
party, for Morton was president dur
ing the time the rebates were given.
Harmon and his associate in the
work recommended that prosecutions
be instigated against Paul Morton
and some of the other officials of the
road. This did not suit the admins
tration though, at all, which wanted
to prosecute the railroad tracks, the
locomotives and things Of that sort,
and put them all in jail.
Harmon expressed the opinion that
if rebates were given somebody was
responsible and they offered to show
the president pretty quick who and
how, but the president had no idea
of allowing his friend and cabinet
officer to be prosecuted. Harmon
thereupon quit and the case was
dropped.
Harmon is quite much Of man
all right, but the opinion is that he
is too safe and sane for the senti-
ment of the party and Of the country
at this time.

been destroyed. AS yet no details
have been received as to the number
of dead and wounded, but it is feared
that the number will be large.
Both the volcanoes Of Colima and
Jorullo are in this region and the
people fear that the recent eruption
Of the earth may cause these noun
tains to become more active and to
destroy much property and many
lives.
A dispatch from the City of Mex
leo says the National Bank of Mexico
has received a telegram saying that
500 lives were lost IL the destruction
of Chilpancingo and Chilapa. The
telegram adds that both cities were
completely destroyed. In govern
mental circles the report is not cred
tied.
It is admitted that both cities were
severely damaged, but it is not
thought that the death list will even
approximate 500 owing to the fact
that the houses are massive affairs,
built of stone in order to resist earth
quake shocks.
The government of the state Of
Guerrero has dispatched military en-
gineers and troops to the destroyed
district and the work Of rescue and
sanitation is being carried on IN a
systematic way.
A dispatch from the City OF Mexi-
co on Monday night says heavy earth
quake shocks continued on the west
coast until O'Clock Monday morn
ing. At that date news from the
area of greatest destruction shows
that the devastation was greater than
at first supposed.
Besides the destruction of Chilpan-
~,%%
ed that Tixtla, between these two
cities, containing about the same pop
ulation as Chilpanicingo, was also
leveled.
Messengers from the coast who
have reached Chilpanicingo say that
the towns Of Ayutlo and Ometepec
Rave been destroyed and that the loss
Of life is very heavy. 1t will be sew
eral days before full particulars will
be received.

MATRIMONIAL SWINDLE.
Victim Of Bis Desire to Wed Titled
Woman.

The arrest Of Johann Fielder, a
tradesman, Of Hermannstedt in Tran
sylvania, and MS wife has revealed a
bare-faced swindle practiced on a
simple minded but Welthy land owner
Of Roumanian nationality named
Konstantan Brateanu.
Fielder learning that it was Brat
eanu's ambition to marry lady OF
title introduced him to Frau Fielder
who posed as the Baroness Ida Kun
who was unmarried and possessed OF
100000, in her own right.
Frau Fielder played her part with
complete success, and on the day OF
her betrothal her husband received
$4,000, as commission. Fielder
next offered to obtain for Brateanu
the title of Baron from the Hungar-
ian Government for another $4,000,
and this too, the simple landowner
paid.
Then Fielder and his wife vanish
ed and Brateanu realized for the
first time he had been victiEalzed.
