Multimurderer Gives Details.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 3.-Dr. Pant
chenko, the "murder-specialist," who
admits that he has slain more than
40 men and women by administering
poison at the request of the victims
enemies, told to-day in his trial for
killing Count Bouturlin how he OBJ
tained the germs of fatal diseases
which he used on his "subjects.'
The poisoner, in common with
Count O'Brien de Lassy, is accused
of the murder of Count Bouturlin,
De Lassy's brother-in-law. Bouturlin
was heir to many millions and the
murder, it is charged, was commit
ted that DeLassy's sister might profit
by her husbands wealth.
In his defense Pantchenko has
claimed that while he administered
deadly poison to Bouturlin, it was
while he was under hypnotic indu-
ence exerted by De Lassy.
In his testimony to-day the pois'
oner told how he obtained from lab
oratories cholera and diptherla
germs which he used to carry out
the ending of persons undesirable to
enemies who could afford>to pay the
poisoner's price.

TOM MILLER FOR CONGRESS.
Retiring President Of Colored Co..
lege May Run for Congress.

Columbia, Jan. 30.-Additional in
terest was created in the forced re-
tirement of Tom Miller, as president
of the South Carolina Normal and In
dustrial college at Orangeburg, by
the statement to-day of prominent
and trustworthy man that Miller told
him if he were made to retire as pres
ident, he would move back to his
farm in Beaufort county and be a
candidate for congress against the
Hon. Geo. S. Legare, of Charleston
By doing this Miller thinks, it is
believed, that he can cause the Dem
ocrats a good deal of embarrassment
as he would contest the election Of
his opponent before congress.
The appointment of Miller as pres
ident of the institution at Orange
burg forms an interesting story. The
establishment of the college was the
result of the hard fight made by Mil
ler and four or five other negroes III
1895 against the disfranchisement o1
the numerous colored voters in thi:
State. AS a compromise the Demo
Gratis in the constitutional conven
ton, it is. said agreed to establish
the school, and Miller and his asso
ciates agreed not to. contest the
amendment in the United States
courts. The college was created tht
next year and Miller was chosen a.
it's president. He has held the jol
ever since and has received $4,000
year for his work.
1t is said that he has not been pop
ular with his associates and tha
many members of his faculty were
forced to resign.

"HEYWARD" COUNTY NOT YET.
After Hearing Governor Blease Re.
vokes Election Order.

Columbia, Feb. L. Gov. Blease
to-day killed the Hayward county
proposition when he issued an or

Governor Ansel The election was
to have been held on February Z.
Il am satisfied that the territory
does not contain 400 square miles.
the constitutional requirement, from
testimony that has been presented to
me, and that the limits of the town
of Ellenton are one mile, which
would cause a county line to pass
through the limits of an incorporated
town." said Governor Blease to-day,
following arguments by attorney for
the promoters of Hayward county
and Aiken county. The hearing was
resumed at noon.
Declare Fight Just Begun.
eve will carry the case to the
supreme court of South Carolina .
said George T. Jackson, of Augusta,
following the decision of Governor
Blease to anul the election ordered
for Hayward county by Governor An
sci.
1--WE have just begun the fight, :"
said R. H. Welch, chief counsel for
the new county move. The attorneys
would make no other statement, but
all reiterated that the fight had just
begun.
Asks Further Investigation.
George T. Jackson representing
the new county movement, appeared
and asked that further investiga-
ton be made as to the territory, by
the appointment of commission to
consist of three surveyors, one from
Aiken, one from the proposed new
county and one disinterested. D. S.
Henderson, of Aiken, opposed this
proposition, stating that hearing had
been given and that the attorneys
for the new county should have pre-
sented their testimony at the hear
ing as to the area.
The decision follows a hearing
which lasted several days, and at
which expert testimony was present
ed as to the area of the new county
territory.
Next Move? If One.
Just what move the advocates of
the new county will make is not
known. 1nere was report from
Aiken to the effect that ar election
would be held regardless of the Or
der by Governor Blease and that the
matter would be later tested in the
Supreme court.
B. S. Henderson, in making argu-
ment for Aiken county before Gov
ernor Blease, stated that he did not
believe that the question of the elec-
ton was one for the Supreme court
to decide.
Mr.. Henderson further said that
the reason he rejected the PROPOSE
ton to have another survey is that
the counties of Edgefield and Aiken
have already been forced to pay out
thousands of dollars upon surveys
on this proposition and that he did
not consider that he would have the
authority or right to consent for
these counties to spend more money,
nor that a further survey would be
proper, it having been proven to the
satisfaction of Governor Blease that
under the survey just finished the
requisite territory was not within the
proposed lines of the new county.
Further, that the shape of the coun-
ty is Observation-Disclosures miles
long and in places not moro than
three miles broad. Such ill shaped
counties ought not to be allowed.

Brothers Meet
 After 46 Years
Fought on Opposite Sides in Civil War, Reunited as
 OctOgenarians

Fairmount, N. J., July 14-For the 1 first time in forty-six years two brothers met here yesterday. Both i had fought in opposing armies in the Civil War and both are among the few survivors living to tell the tale of the wreck of the New Era, off the coast of what is now Asbury Park, Tn 1854 when 300 lives were lost The
 reunion took place at the home of
 charles Glazer, prominent resident , or this place, and he met his brother, Theodore Glazer of Petersburg, Va. The brothers are both in the neigh Dorhood of eighty years old, went to sea in early life, and eventually ship
 ped on the New Era. As the old
 snip went to pieces in one of the worst wrecks that ever occurred along the
 coast of North America, the two
 brothers lashed themselves to the
 mast and after being buffeted about for twenty-four hours they were res
 cued by party in small boat
 From them were obtained the harrow ing details of the wreck
 A short time later the brothers set tied at Petersburg, Va. but the cli- mate of that section did not agree with Charles, who returned North set ting in this town in which he has since made his home. Two years more and the country was aroused by the call for volunteers Theodore went to the front as a member of Branch's Petersburg Battery. part of the Army of Northern Virginia of which Gen. Robert B. Lee, was conn mander.
 Charles enlisted with the First New Jersey Cavalry. part of the Army of the Potomac. In all the battles in which Branch's Battery took part they were opposed by the Army of the Potomac.
 While on guard duty along the Rap pahannock River, Charles learned from a rebel soldier that Theodore Glaz- CT was serving in Branch's Battery, which was encamped nearby Describ- ing his brother Charles. after exchang- ing some coffee for tobacco with the rebel, he gave him message to bear to his brother. The rebel bringing the message was shot and as he lay upon his cot, Theodore, who happened to be on duty close by, was sum- moned and to him the injured rebel gave the message. It was the only communication exchanged between the brothers during the long conflict
 Soon after his release from a Fed l eral prison at the close of the war Theodore visited his brother, but since that time he had never seen him.
