Washington, July Ex-senator Ben

Is ill at his home near Trenton, S. C.
He has been away from Washington
for three weeks, and his friends say
his condition is so bad that he will not

be able to return to vote on the tariff
bill Indeed, he may never again be
heard in the senate.
Senator Tillman has not fully recOv-
cred from the attack of partial para
lysis which seized him last summer.
He tried to cure this by an extended
tour in Europe. The health resorts of
the continent helped him greatly, and
he returned to the United States much
stronger than he was when he left.
While the paralysis has not return
ed, a general debility from nervous
ness has made his life unhappy in the
last few months. Sleeplessness and an
intensity of thought have made him
seriously i'll, and he was persuaded to
go to his home for rest.

Lizzie Has Skipped.

Lizzie James. the colored girl who
was indicted with a young white
man for illicit Capitalization. evaded
arrest last Friday night and left on
the o:32 train for Newport News.
Lizzie weuld have been tired BY the
Mayor at the same time the other
accused was. had she been present.
AS she was not present, she was not
fined and the report that she was
fined $50. etc. is untrue. If caught
of course she will be tried.
It seems TO be the custom TO make
no arrest after an indictment for :
misdelneanor. until the record is Ger
titled to the trial justice. Some PEG
pie think it a bad custom, too.
