ARRESTED IN CHARLESTON
WESLEY HUTTO, A NEGRO, NOW
IN JAIL AT BAMBERG.
He is Charged With the Murder of M.
B. Varn-Evidence Against
Him Not Known.

Some excitement and interest was
created here last Saturday when it
became known that Sheriff Hunter
had received a telegram from the
chief of police in Charleston saying
that he had Wesley Hutto, a negro,
under arrest in that city, charged
with the murder of M. B. Warn. A
long distance telephone talk was had
with the chief, and on Sunday morn
ing Mr.. C.. C. Rowell went down to
Charleston to bring Hutto back, re-
turning with him Sunday night.
He was placed in Jail, and up to
this time there have been no further
developments in the case, and he has
not, employed an attorney. Of course
Hutto says he is not guilty, and knows
nothing about the murder. What
the evidence is that caused his arrest
is not known here, but we have under
stood it is largely eircumstantial. He
was arrested in Charleston by city
detective who is working up the case,
and he says he has good deal Of evi-
dence which he will not give out un-
til the proper time. Hutto is we'll
known negro of this town, but he has
been working in Charleston for sew
eral years, leaving Bamberg soon
after Mr.. Warn was killed. Mr.. A.
G. Warn, a brother Of the dead man,
put the detective on the case, so we
understand, and the result Of his
work was the arrest of Hutto.
Addison Johnson, the negro arrest
ed in Columbia some months ago for
the same crime, is still in jail and
there have been absolutely no devel-
opments since his incarceration, the
whole matter it seems hanging on
whether the crazy negro, Frank
Nimmons, ever regains his right
mind and can testify in the case.
johnson was arrested because OF
statements made by Nimmons, who
was then in Jacksonville, Florida,
and who was insane when he
made them. Maybe there is some.
thing to it all, but in the meantime
johnson and Hutto are both in Jail at
the expense of the county, and con-
siderable expense has been gone to by
the county in arresting them. While
we earnestly desire to see the villains
who murdered M. B. Warn in cold
blood brought to justice, still the
matter ought to be disposed Of. One
term of court has already passed and
Johnson has not been tried.

Too Full.

A.few years ago the late John,
the orangeman, went to New Haven
with the Harvard ball team, and.
after they had defeated Yale. OF
course had to go out with the boys
to celebrate. He and few others
got intoxicated. A policeman, see
ing Johns condition, and not know
ing him, locked him up. Immediate
" some of the students went to the
police station and asked for his re-
lease, which was refused.
Cant we bail him out!' they
asked.
"Bail him OUT" exclaimed the cap
tain, "why you couldn't pump him
out"

WOULD RATHER BE A HOG.
Chicago Health Commissioner Says
Swine Fare Better Than Humans.

CHICAGO, July eff Iwere to be
born again and my wishes were con.
suited believe I'd rather be a hog,
declared Health Commissioner DR.,
William A. Evans, upon his return
from two weeks trip through the
Eastern cities, where he made a
careful study of the methods in vogue
in the health departments.
Special attention was given to the
Federal department in Washington,
where DR.. Evans said hundreds OF
psychologists labor daily to find
means of preventing diseases in hogs.
"The diseases of human beings are
a secondary consideration" said Dr.
Evans. ''The government spends
more on the bacteriology of hogs in
one year than it does on the bacterl.
ology of man in twenty-fveyears. 1t
is true they are doing something fo1
men. They have marine hospital.
but as wandered around and looked
at the immense buildings devoted te
the study of seeds and grasses and
other foods, 1 concluded man was a
minor being after all and that I'd
rather be a hog"
DR.. Evans declared that the fault
lies with the voters themselves. He
said the farmers are persistent In
their demands upon members of Con.
gress that something be done fol
hogs and cattle, and as a result ex-
perts prepare annually large volumes
which instruct the farmer how tt
prevent and cure disease among his
stock. :.
81 agree with the farmers in then
demands" said DR.. Evans, but
also think the fathers should rise uI
and demand at least an equal amount
of work be done to assist them II
preventing and curing disease II
their families.
DIR. Evans said Chicago was far be
hind the Eastern cities in its health
work. This, he declared, was to be
expected, since Chicago still is in tht
experimental stage.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

AL Handiboe, who has been playing with
the Martinsburg Independent team and
was formerly an Atlantic outfielder. was
severely injured while working in the box
last week. 1t seems the ball was hit to-
ward third and both he and the third base
man tried to get the ball, the latter being
successful. In order to get the ball to
first in quick order he threw the sphere
without a second glance and caught Han
Oboe in the back of the head. knocking
him unconscious for time. He was I'M
medately brought home and a physician
was called in. He is getting along well
and was out to see his former team mates,
the Atlantic boys. trim the Government
also with the Martinsburg team, returned
about the same time, he having couple
of broken fingers.
Mcmahon broke into the game with the
Atlantics last week, working in the box
against the Government Printing Office
team He allowed but four hits, three of
which were piled up in one inning. He
also hit for two bases. scoring two runs.
With Wooden and Mcmahon in good con-
dition the Atlantics are we'll represented
in the pitching department.
The Aloysius and Columbia Athletic
Club teams will meet on the grounds at
LIST and NJ streets northeast tomorrow and
a fine exhibition will undoubtedly take
place, as the former team is up among the
leaders of the league and the latter team
is remembered for its plucky playing last
season and at the present time they are
coming strong with practically the same
lineup with which they carried of last
seasons pennant.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

Quite number of changes were effected
in the standing OF the clubs in the past
week. At the beginning the ,Atlantics,
Aloysius and st. Stephens clubs were tied.
but the former team having won two
second place. and Aloysius by winning
game, gains the top position by a
good margin over the other clubs st.
Stephens dropped game and had to be
content with third place. A lead of
couple of games means lot to the teams
this season. as never before in the history
Of the league have the clubs been so
evenly matched and the loss of a single
game will work wonders in shifting the
teams around:
In a recent game Manager Hughes OF
the St Stephens Institute outfit. who gen.
orally covers second base. being short a
catcher, went behind the bat and caught
remarkably aver game. 1t was thought
that the opposing men would have LITTLE
trouble pilfering a base. as 1t was the
opinion Of many that "Shorty's'' arm had
a crimp in It. but he quickly reversed the
opinion by throwing accurately and with
plenty of speed and only two mea were
able to swipe . base.

During the last Legislature there
was passed new trespass law for

lawful fence around his premises.
The two principal sections of the
law reads as follows:
Section l. 1t is unlawful for any
animal. the property OF any person,

lawfully in the possession of any per-
son other than the owner of said

1t Came Upon the Midnight Clear.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
10 touch their harps of gold:
Peace on the earth, good ill to men
From heavens allgracious king
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they
come,
With peaceful wings unturled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad aud lowly plains
They bend on Iowly wing,
And ever Ger its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
nut with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strains have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, heals not
The love-song which they bring:
Oh, hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low;
Who toll along the climbing way,
With painful steps and Slow
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
Ard hear the angels sing!
For, lc the days are fastening on
BY prophet bards foretoId,
When with the ever -circIiug years
Comes round the age of gold:
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors hiug,
And the whole world give back the
song
Which now the angels sing.

Fell Into An Abandoned Shaft.

Friday evening of last week Mrs
Handy OF this place had narrow
escape, and it is only dispensation
of Divine Providence that the lady is
alive to-day to, tell the tale. Mrs
Handy had spent the evening with
Mrs Disbrow, one of her neighbors,
and was returning home at about
nine O'Clock. There is an old aban-
doned shalt short distance from the
Disbrow residence that is near the
trail that Mrs Handy has often travel
ed IN going to and from her house.
The shaft Is twenty-five feet in depth
and contained about five feet OF
water. The night was quite dark and
as Mrs Handy Is somewhat near
sighted she wandered few feet from
the trail and stepped into the shaft
going down feet foremost. Fortunate
~ she did not strike her head on the
side of the shaft IN her downward
plunge, thereby losing consciousness,
for If she had she surely would have
been drowned. AS it was she stood
in water up to her neck. Her cries
of distress we're first heard by Mrs w.
Low, who resides some two hundred
yards from the scene of the accident,
aud she informed w. N. Prindle and
Cyprien Mailles who we're just pass
ing her house at the time on their
way home. They soon discovered
where the cries of distress came from
and gong to the Nuner residence
they procured fifty-foot rope and a
sluice rifle about eight feet in length.
The Iiffie was first lowered down the
shaft and by placing it on the bottom
and leaning it against the opposite
side of the shaft Mrs Handy was
enabled to get far enough out of the
water to place rope around her body
underneath her arms in which condi-
tion she was hauled out of the shaft
hand over hand. Mrs Handy sustain
ed few slight bruises but at present
writing is getting along nicely. 1t
was close call to instant Edeath. -

Flight Of a Tartar Tribe.

One of the remarkable things In
literature is the story OF the light of
a Tartar tribe from Russia to China,
in 1852. Many years pier to that
time, band of Tartars from China
settled in Russia. In l762, their de-
scendants became dissatisfied, and
resolved to return to Gina. The
start was msdeNin winter, and, before
leaving they burned their houses,
and everything else they could not
carry with them. he leader set the
example by applying the torch to his
own palace. Immediately elk hun
dred thousand Tartars began their
journey of more than 1000 miles.
knowing that they would he pursued
relentIessly by the Russians. they
travelled rapidly, and soon the road
was lined with the dead bodies OF the
old, the feeble, and the very young;
more than half of the fleeing Tartars
we're composed cf women and child
rem. There was also vast army OF
lighting men among the rartars, and
these we're almost constantly engaged
during the year of their fight. But
the cold. and the heat, and famine,
were worse enemies than the Russians:
Russian prisoner who escaped from
the 1artars. after several months, and
retraced the route travelled, writes
that the entire distance was marked
by the skeletons of those who had
died on the fearful journey-onIy
third of the original number lived to
reach China. In China, the Tartars
we're better treated than they had
been in Russia. The leader in the
Hight tried to stir up a strife in
China, and was killed at the instance
of the Chinese authorities. This
journey OF year, in which 400, 700
lost their lives, is said to be the most
terrible thing in history. Thomas
DeQuincy wrote story OF the flight
which you will find intensely inter-
esting and horrible. .-AtchIson Globe.
