CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 16.-Some

inspection in the trial of Mrs.
Suzanne Ella Wood Deans suit to
win a widows dover right in the
million dollar estate of her late
husband, John f. Dean. She is SUI
ing the heirs, who are Deans four
grown daughters. The reason that
Mrs. Dean didn't get huge slice
of the fortune that dover rights Or
dinarily would have given her, is
that before marrying Mr.. Dean she
signed away her dover. and &C
cepted a legacy of only $4,000
And now Mrs. Dean protests that
she was imposed upon financially
because her love for Mr. Dean
blinded her to the sacrifice she
was making.

That is What Horny Man Says About
Tillman.

In an interview given to the Char
lotte Observers Washington CORE
spondent, DeVaux Porter, of Horny
county, talks Interestingly of sena'
tor Tillman and another term in the
senate. He predicts that Senator
Tillman will never again take ar
active part in the senate proceed
ings, and will not be reelected wher
his term expires.
1T is common talk in South Caro-
lima" said Mr.. Porter, that fol
physical reasons alone there would
be little likelihood of Mr.. Tillmar
ever again being able to take up ac
lively the work of a political lead
er. Before this last attack he hao
an illness that sent him abroad FOL
months in an effort to recover, anC
since his return. though he seemed
about normal, he has dropped into
the background. All through the
tariff fight he seemed to be drifting
along. The truth is, Tillman ha:
lost his grip on the State.
Ever since he defeated Hampton
for the senate his position had beer
undisputed. but at his last election
when there was no candidate wht
dared oppose him, fifteen Thousand
men scratched his name on the bal
lot just to show they did not like
him. That was a straw in the wind
It's strange, but even at the leigh
of his power he never has been able
to name office holders in the State
and the dispensary, which was hi
favorite issue, has been legislatet
out of existence, in spite Of hi
strenuous defense Of it.

immigrants, without a license. and
the sheriff has information which he
says indicates that the negro was in

railway on this charge. The matter
came to the sheriff's attention when
he was in Rockingham to arrest 3
negroes charged with violation Of
farm labor contracts in this county.
He would have brought Lever back
with him at that time, but he says
the Seaboard employed an attorney
and resisted him. and the sheriff was
forced to secure requisition papers.
Returning to North Carolina with
his papers in proper share, ne was
again met with opposition, haDeas
corpus proceedings being instituted
and the latter being thoroughly
threshed out. Sheriff Buford en-
ployed an attorney, and won in his
contention, bringing the negro back
with him and lodging him in jail
here. Sheriff Buford says there has
been considerable activity in the
matter of taking laborers away from
the farms in this county for rail-
road work, and that he intends to
use every effort in his power and
to avail himself of every opportu-
nifty which the law affords to put a

List of Sailors Supposed to Have Been
Drowned.

New York, Oct. 2.-There was
given out at the battleship New
Hampshire tonight list Of 90 men
who were supposed to have perished
bv the swamping of barge or whale
boat which was being towed to the
vessel at anchor in the Hudson river
last night. Appended to the list are
the names of IS men who are still
absent but who were not recognized
as having been in the swamped boat.
Capt. Thomas S. Rogers, in COM
mand of the New Hampshire, gave
out the list With this brief introduce
ton:
THE following is the list of the
men missing from yesterdays liberty

in the boat that swamped last night. y
Only two Southern men are in the
list. They are: A. Mampley, coal

This would take the bodies far be-

R. Karl, one of the men supposed
to be drowned, is credited with hav-
ing saved four men. Karl was a big
husky fellow and good swimmer.
In the water he held up two men
until two life preservers came his
way. He gave these to the weaker
two and then swan around and found
two other men who were exhausted
and sinking. These two he held up
until they were picked up by boat.
Still, regardless of his own safety, he
did not attempt to get aboard for fear
of overlooking it, Nobody seems to
have seen him afterwards. The &C
count of his bravery was given by his
shipmates.

About WhiSkey.

The subject of alcohol and its ef-
feet on the human body has long
been a favorite study of Sir Victor
Horsley and some years back he
pointed out the little less than ex-
traordinary way in which milk was
taking the place of alcohol in the
treatment of disease in the London
hospitals. In 1852 Sir Victor pointed
out that seven of the great London
hospitals spent 5000 pounds on milk
and over 1000 pounds on alcohol,
while now the amount spent on milk
reaches the sum which was recently
expended on liquor.
A short time ago friend waylaid

Warehouse Burned.

Blackville, Sept 29.-The old
brick warehouse, formerly used for
cotton storage, presumably con-
structed some Is years ago, and said
to contain cantaloupe seed, canta-
loupe crates, fertilizer and cotton
seed, and owned by the commission
firm of Young & Mathis, was dis
covered on fire at $50 this evening,
and burned down. The origin of the
confagration is unknown. From all
information procurable by the re-
porter, loss is estimated at $4,000
two-thirds covered by insurance.
Blackville was visited by a severe
electrical and rain storm to-day and
it is reported much damage was done
to the crops, in addition to one OF
the local churches being struck and
fired by lightning. The blaze was
eXtinguished.
