In Augusta Aftcr a Separation OF
Over Seven Years.

lC3tESs ...h. ka
A dispatch from Augusta says the
truth of the old saying hat fact
Is stranger than fiction" is proved by
a remarkable chance. Crank Ling
ham came to Augusta several months
ago from an Illinois town and en-
gagged board at a well known Broad
street boarding house. He never talk
ed of his family and none Of his fell
low-Boarders knew he had a. brother.
The other night a stranger came to
Augusta and engaged board at the
same place. At supper some one re-
marked to him that he looked enorrb
like one Of the older boarders, vino
did no happen to be present, to ',e
MS twin brother. The newcom or
naturally asked the name Of this
dromio and was startled to hea. that
1T was Lingham. He turned pale and
gaspcd that he had a brother whom
he had not seen or heard from in
seven years.
Several hundred miles from home,
neither perhaps, thinking of the 9TH
er, these two men had come I, ,he
same boarding house, had picked
out the same place out OF the dozrns
in the city. Needless to say .ult
William and Frank Lingham, Twin
brothers, had a happy meeting. even
though it was entirely unexpected. "

" 80
A thrilling account OF the ship
wreck Of the Woermann liner Ascam
Woermann, which recently went on
the rocks OF Grand Bassa, Liberia,
and became a total wreck, is related
by the sailors Of the steamer, who
nave arrived at Hamburg, Germany,
The night the steamer STRUCK was
a dark n and she seemed to be go
ing to pieces rapidly. The crew took
to the boats and Immediately thou
sands Of piratical negroes in canoes,
who had not replied to the signals of
distress from the stranded vessel,
surrounded the steamer, swarmed
aboard and plundered her.
When the scamcn attempted to re-
turn In order to obtain provisions and
arms the attitude of the negroes be-
came SO threatening that it was i'm
possible for them to do so.
They feared to land on the hostile
coast in the darkness and were com
PEELED to stay in the small boats
throughout the night. When morn
ing came the crew landed and camp
cd In the brush for several days, al
ways fearful Of an attack.
Meanwhile they watched the ne
groes going to the ship and return
Ing from her laden with booty.
FINALLY the vessel disappeared. At
ter this the negroes departed and
the crew, taking to their boats, again,
rowed or II hours n were picked
up, completely exhausted, by a pass
ing steamer off MOnrivia.

Roosevelt for His Message. Whicl
Ho Says Outlines the Conditions
Under Which Bryan Becomes tho
Ordained Champion.
During the consideration Of the
Indian appropriation bill in the
House MI. Townsend, OF Michigan,
delivered a speech in which he re-
hearsed the history of Republican
legislation, which. he said, he did for
the purpose Of "%disputing the unwar-
rantod claims Of our Democratic
brethren"
He was not, he said, defending
the present Administration. 1T needs
no defence with the American poo-
pie" he said. Its record will ilu-
mine tho pages Of United States his
tory and mark All epoch in popular
government" He declared that tho
student Of the future would point to
it as "the period when the people
camo into the possession of their wi
by establishing by facts the theories
OF Il ftepuDllC, whereby Icucral law
is enacted for no class or financial
condition, but for all the people"
He said that the legislation Of the
last two Congresses had been charg-
ed with producing the late financial
disturbance, and he undertook to
refute the charge as untrue. He re-
fcrred especially to the railroad leg
islation and said that Democratic pol
iticians, finding that the legislation
was good, desired to adopt 1t to
themselves as a political asset in flu
turo campaigns.
Declaring fault finding to be the
largest part Of the capital Of the
Democrats, he declared 1.-The Demo-
cratic party has a nose for carbon,
it can scent corruption at very long
range, but it has no refined distinc-
ton as to the kind" Every little

some Democrat saying that the rate

RONI IN STREET. EIGHT.

Count Boni de Castellane, from whom
his wife, who was Miss Anna Gould, Of
New York, was recently divorced, and
Prince Helie de Sagsn, who on several
occasions was reported to be engaged
to Nine. Gould, had personal
encounter yesterday at the Church
of st. Pierre de Ohaillot, Paris, while e
service to the memory of Lady Stanley
Errington, relative of both men, who
died lately 10 England, was in progress.
Beginning inside the church, where,
Count Boni says, the Prince insnlted
both him and the sacred ediice, the en-
counter was resumed at the doorway,
y here Count Boni, followed by his
brother, Count Jean de Oas.ellane, over
took the Prince. Count Boni spat in
his cousins face.
Then came the clash of canes, followed
by a rougb,snd-tumble 6ghton the pave
meni, which ended in the gutter, where
the men were finally separated by a
butcher. Count Boni at the moment Of in
terveniion was holding down the Prince,
while jean, according to eye witnesses,
wss administering to bin q severe kick
irg.
When the police arrived the butcher
YES holding The two principals in the
fght, who were covered with mud. The
Prince was bleeding profusely from a
wound 10 the right temple. where he
had been hit by Count Boui's heavy
sdck. With the butchers hand on his
collar, Boni was harsngueiug crowd
which had gathered as to Why he had
spst in the Pinee's face. The police
invited the two men to 60 to the station
house where they made "explsDaticns."
Both Count Boni and the Prince gave
their own version OF the quarrel, each
claiming that the other was the sggres-
sor, but the Prince alone lodged a COM
plant charging the brothers with as.
sault.
A 'process ver6ap having been writ
ten out, according 10 the French law,
the three men signed it and then were
released. The case now will 90 before
the public prosecutor, who will decide
what, it apy, steps shall he taken.
Ia view OF the fact that Prince Helie
hes elected 10 pursue the matter 10 the
courts, the idea OF duel seems to be
precluded. Besides, Count Boni de-
clared last night that it was doubtful
whether he would receive the witnesses
of the Prince, even if the latter could
fad anyone to act ia that capacity.
Last night Prince Helie was laid up in
bed with his head swathed in bandsges,
while Count Boni spent part of the
evening in visiting the newspaper ofiices,
telling the story of the encounter.

No Verdict.


GsorgelovD, Kg., Jsp. s. After II
hours OF deliberation tbs jury in whose
hands rests the fate Of Caleb Powers,
accused of completely in ths murder OF
William Goebel in 1900, seems hopeless
ly divided. When the jury reti;ed to
bed late last night the iorsmsu iutimsted
that an agreement was probable. This
morning they are still locked.
Judged Morris Jas not yet dedicated
how long he will keep the jury if it does
not reach verdict. Powers appears
satisfied, although he had hoped for ac-
qnittaI.
The commonwealth will bitterly op-
pose giving Powers bail If there is dis
agreement. Unless the majority of ihs
Jury fsvors scquittsl it is the general be-
lief that Judge Morris viii reiuss bail.
At 1915 the jury filed into the court
room and, through the foreman, j. l.
Price, declared that 1t could not reach a
verdict.
"We are further from verdict today
than va we're last night" said Foreman
Price, "and | know ina; 1t vii be inn
possible" Judge Harris told the jury
that the lsw required that they be kept
together SIS losg IS there might be a
chance for reaching a verdict.

A MASONIC INCIDENT.

81 read OF the death of Col. w. E

deceased we'll some years ago. HE
was high class engineer and no drawer
man served in the Confederate army
than be. He los: leg in battle, but
got along without difficulty on cork
limb.
Colonel Cutshaw was the only one

other country, so far as am informed,
who was ever initiated into the mys-
teries of FreemAsonry. 1t was some

man a Mason became celebrated case.
Grsndmsslen Of Virginia, one after

to Colonel Cushsw's petition. Each
was asked to grant a special dispense

Every grsndmssier VAS personally
acquainted with Outshsw and esteemed
him highly but, they were afraid to set
aside Sd ancient landmark. There was
no precedent and neither Of The ersnd-
masters was willing to set one in case
like this. Finally new ledge was
organized in Richmond. Every charter
member had been pledged on the quiet
to vote for Colonel Cutsbsw snd the
brother selected to be the fret worship
fulmaster was pledged to confer the
degrees. Cushaw was the first can
