Saracen's Head Tavern.

The Saracen's Head, Snow Hill. now closed. reached back to q respectable antiquity. In Dick Tarton's Jests" it is referred to as "the Saracen's Head without Newgate.' and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re- ceipt of travellers" which hath to sign the Sarazen's Head" Its pre- eminent interest, however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given a vivid description of the old inn as it was when Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there the master of Dotheboys Hall. There art, various accounts of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that it was set up as compliment to the mother of Thomas d Beckett who was the daughter of a Saracen.

When CIT countrymen came home from fighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge, big, terrible faces, as you still sec the sign of the Saracen's Head is.'-London Chronicle.

BONE MYSTERY Is
AS DEEP AS EYER
CORONER BELIEVES SOME ONE is
ROBBING A GRAVEYARD AND
SELLING HUMAN BONES TO THE
JUNK DEALERS.

Coroner Brashers human bone mystery
appears to become more mysterious every
day Clews which the coroner has picked
up could be followed only to a brief con-
clusion and the mystery appears to be
as far from a solution as ever.
1t will be recalled that few weeks ago
a large portion of human skeleton was
found in a bone-heap in the DuBose junk
yard on Tenth avenue and Thirteenth
street, north. Upon finding the bones Mr..
DuBose at once reported the matter to
Coroner Brasher and an investigation was
Immediately instituted. Mr. DuBose stated
that he bought the lot Of bones from a
Mr.. Goldstein, another junk dealer, and
Mr.. Gofdstein reported that he had
bought the bones from the city of Bir-
mingham, unaware of the fact that the
lot contained a human skeleton. 1t Is
supposed that the bones were dug up at
the city dumping ground, but further than
this, the coroner states, nothing can be
even supposed.
1t was reported to the coroner yesterday
that the bones came from the dissecting
rooms of the medical college; that after
they had been finished with they were
placed in a box and sent to the dumping
ground The authorities at the medical
college told the coroner, however, that
human bones for surgical demonstrations
were at a premium and that every skele-
ton was carefully preserved and kept
under lock and key.
Coroner Brasher states that he has

vicinity of Birmingham and is making a
business of selling the human bones.

MAKES RESTITUTION.
Liquor Firm Voluntarily Offers 10 Re-
turn to State $50, 0,0G0 OYerchafges.

Columbia, September 27:-Follow-
ing conference last week between
the winding.up commission of the
old State dispensary and the rep
Iesentatives of the Berpheim Dis
tilhng Co., of Louisville, Ky, the
company today announced that it wip
refund to the *3tate over-charges on
liquor amounting to $4,000. The
company, which was represented be-
fore the old State board of control
by James s Farnum, acquitted
Saturday of bribing Jos B Wylle,
then member of the purchasing
board, to give the concerns rep
resented by Farnum lie preference
in purchasing liquors: admits the
cverchrages and says it IS willing to
make good this mach Of the States
loss.
The refund is voluntary Oh the
part of the company, as the old
State dispensary board of control
had effected complete settlement
with the concern before the wind
ing-up commission took charge of
the affairs of the dispensary when
the institution was legislated out of
existence, and the company never
has put in CLAIM for money due it
! for the liquors sold TO the dispen-
sary, as has been done by many Of
the other houses, which had been
awarded contracts for liquors.

Georgetown, September 27:-The
plant mentioned as likely to be eS-
tablishea here by the DUPONT, + l
de Nemours Powder company for the
production Of wood alcohol and by
products from the refuse lumber Of
the Atlantic Coast Lumber corpora
ton mills, is now an assured fact. a
plant costing in the nelghborhood OF
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars will soon be erected, and opera
tions will begin as soon as same Is
completed. Mr. Raymond S Farr,
general manager of the Atlantic
Coast Lumber corporation is now ne
gotiatirg with the DuPont-de Ne
mours people for the location of the
plant in close proximity to the mills,
and will be IN position to give further
details regarding the new industry
to be started here, within shor
time.
1t is a matter of congratulation to
the people of Georgetown to have
this plant locate here, as 1t meani
much to the commercial and indus
trial life of the city. The making OF
wood alcohol by the big DUPONT
Powder company is no experiment
with them, since other plants are
being operated by them over the
country, the alcohol produced being
a necessary ingredient in the powder
manufacturing business.

The WAY OF The TRANsGREsSOR.
Geo. v. Murray, Black Ex Congressman
from this State, Must Serve Sentence.

Sumter, September 24:-Sherif
w H Epperson has received notice
from a detective agency in Chicago
that George Washington Murray,the
negro Ex- Congressman from the 9TH
South Carolina district, who is a fu-
gitive from justice, has been arrested
in that city. The telegram stated
that Murray refuses to return to
South Carolina without extradition
papers, and that he is being held
pending the arrival of an officer and
the proper papers.
Murray, who at the time he was
indicted was one of the largest land
owners in Sumter county, was con-
yicted Of forgery and sentenced to
serve three years on the public works
of the county or a like time in the
State penitentiary. Murray was ably
defended and no effort or expense was
spared 20 save him. The case was
taken on appeal to the supreme court,
and ne Was released on $4,000 bond.
He renamed in this county until it
became known that the verdict of
the lower court had been affirmed by
the supreme court and then disap.
peared. His bond was estreated bv the
solicitor and was finally paid. For
more than two years it has been known
that Murray was living in Chicago,
but for some reason he was not az
rested, and the news of his arrest at
this time comes with some surprise.
In addition TO the charge of forgery
on which he was convicted, there Is q
charge Of perjury still pending agains:
Murray, and he may be tried on this
charge when he has served the sen.
