SIeuth Was Marked Man.

New York City.
SIeuth Was Marked Man.
The American officer sent ErrTcone
back to Europe and he was taken into
custody at Havre. Petrosino's death
is believed to have been the price paid
for running down the man who for
years had defied the authorities of his
own country.
The murders of the CuOccolos fol-
lowed by revelations made by one of
the Camorrists, Gennaro Abbatemag-
gio, resulted in the present prosecu-
ton, which was ordered by King Vic
tor Emmanuel and presented by Sig
nor FAM, the minister of justice.
An enormous crowd gathered in the
vicinity OF the former church of San
francesca which has been transformed
crowds surrounded the medieval
monastery Of Gradi, now a p~enitentiary
where all except two of the prisoners
have been confined, and the prison of
San Lupara, in which the informer
Abbattemaggio and the one woman
prisoner, Maria Stenardo, have been
held.
There was much excitement when
the a n transporting the accused ap-
peared from under the arched doors of
the prison. The procession proceeded
to court amidst angry murmurs of the
people. Precautions were taken
against an attempt to free the pris-
oners who had many silent sympathiz-
ers in the throng. With the driver
of each van we're seated q policeman
and a carbineer. Another solder sat
Just inside the door. Mounted al
bineers surrounded each van. When
the doors of the court were opened
ss many of the crowd as could rushed
IN occupying every available place.
The crowd In the square before the
court building was SO great that a
company Of infantry was called out
to reinforce the carbineers and police
In maintaining order.
Priest Sits by Prisoners.
Within the attention of the onlook-
ers was absorbed by the appearance
and behavior of the prisoners. Giro
Vitozzi, the priest, who once secured
Erricone's freedom by telling the au-
thorities that another man had con.
fessed to the murders under the seal
Of the confessional, was allowed, when
the proceedings opened, to sit outside
the prisoners cage. Abbatemaggio
was permitted the distinction of being
the only one of the prisoners to go
from prison to court without hand
cuffs.
When the jury had been sworn
President Bianchi questioned the pris-
oners closely concerning their areers.
This examination concluded, a mass of
documents were presented by Caval-
Zero Santero, kings p%rocurator, who
has charge of the prosecution.
The most interesting paper which
figured in today's proceedings was a
report from the New York police de-
partment concerning the arrest of Err
ricone in that city and what the Amer
can detectives have been able to learn
about him and his associates. The re-
port was signed by Joseph Petrosino.
The defendants originally numbered
10. OF these three are fugitives, who
have been released under surveillance
and e Giro Alfano, a brother of Err
%ricone, died in prison.
Three hundred and thirty witnesses
tor the state were offered and 600 for
the defense. The court ruled that only

Cupid Led the Way.

St. Matthews, September 4, Spec
ial: A young couple fleeing from the
obstruction of parental bars, created
a neat little sensation in town last
night when they applied to the Rev.
J. NJ. Steadman for assistance in
their matrimonial plans. The pro-
spective groom produced the proper
credentials, which were said to be
according to Hoyle" by five law
yers. They hailed from st. George
and the bride was pretty to look up
on. The groom is said to be a respon-
slble young business man of that
thriving village. After the ceremony
they boarded the train for Columbia,
but gave no positive assurance as to
the extent of their honeymoon trip.

Plush Livened Up Things.

Bill Plush attended dinner on
Monday given by some colored people
near Lone Star. Everything partook
of the festive air and was going along
hilariously until another negro ap-
peared upon the grounds with sever
al quarts Of booze Plush was an
early victim and was soon in the
proper spirit for giving the festival
the correct coloring. He had taken
with him a single barrel shotgun, and
as soon as the spirit moved him made
things lively by shooting wildly into
the crowd. He succeeded in wound
ing five before being subdued and
locked up by Sheriff Dantzler.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
Judge DeVore Says -agrants Should
Be Put on the Roads.

Be Put on the Roads.
In his charge to the grand jury on
Tuesday Judge DeVore laid stress on
their performance of the duties as
signed to their office. Owing to a
decree of Judge Prince, the last pre-
siding judge, the grand jury for Or
angeburg county was dismissed be-
cause of it's being unlawfully drawn.
Major Havelock Eaves, a local cot
ton buyer, was chosen as foreman OF
the grand jury.
Judge DeVore called especial at
tention to the vagrant law and stated
that this law is generally overlooked.
He said that because Of the non-en-
forcement of the law great amount
Of crime is breeded. Judge DeVore
read the law and said that his only
objection Is that the punishment is
too light, but If strict enforcement
was held the roads of every county
could be placed in such condition
that they would be the best automo-
bile highways.
This is a valuable suggestion, and
should be carried out. There are
many vagrants to be found in every
town of the State, and If they were
all put to work on the roads and the
highways, bad roads would be soon
a thing of the past. These vagrants
are a menance to every community
and Some scheme should be devised
to make them move on or go to work.
Why not try Judge DeVore's sug-
geStion.

Fearful Damage to Cotton.

Cope, September Especial: With
practically the whole of last week
lost from the cotton patch on ac-
count of the wet weather, and with
another downpour this morning from
daylight until sunrise, which flood
ed everything, the farmers are blue.
The situation has gotten to the ser
ious stage. In answer to an inquiry
as to damages from rain, it was the
opinion of several of the best far
mers that damage Of fully 10 per
cent. had been done up to last Satur-
day, and still the loss goes on.

mort on Other Matters.

OF the county and report condition
of the same; the third to inspect the
Court House and Offices in the same,

good thing to construct cement

connecting the various entrances, and
thus do away with the unseemly
paths as at present. They recon-
mended that the causeway over the
Edisto river on the Ninety Six road
be put in good condition. -

present plant at the pumping station
would not be .'nsed, unless ii was in
case Of bad fire. In this emergency
either party sholld have definite plan
on which to work, Tor mIsurder
standing or loosely arranged plan
might mean the loss OF considerable
property before sufficient supply Of
water could be secured in which TO
fight the fire. 1t is up to the council
TO correspond with other localities
where a system of this character is in
operation and ascertain how they con
tend with the fiery monster under sim
liar arrangements. Once the contract
is signed there is no backing out for
either party, or the plea that they did
not fully understand the requirements
OF the contract. 1t is up to the village
particularly to get posted before sign
ing up for five years. To an outsider
the proposition appears to be gilt edge,
but 1t is always wise to secure as much
information before tying up TO any
kind Of proposition as possible.

An Eastern Story.

The sultan OF wadal Gaudeh, pre-
tending TO fly, had marched round In
the rear Of the Forian army and inter-
posed between them and their countv.
They believed. however, that he was
utterly routed and loudly expressed
their JOY. One vizier remained silent
and on being asked by his master why
he did not share In the general Joy re-
piled that he did not believe In this
easy victory and offered TO prove that
the enemy's army was even then
marching toward them.
'How wilt thou do this?" said the
sultan.
Bring me she camel" replied the
vizier, with man who knows how to
milk"
The camel was brought and well
washed. and the milk was drawn into
a clean bowl and placed with a man to
guard IL on the top OF the sultan's tent
Next morning the yizier caused the
bowl TO be brought TO him and found
the milk quite black SO he went TO
the sultan and said:
Master, they are coming down upon
us and have marched all night"
How dost thou know thatT
Look at this blackened milk"
I'm what way has lt become bIackf Z"
"The dust raised by the feet OF the
horses has been carried by the wind"
Some laughed AT this explanation. but
others believed and looked out anxious
ly toward the west. In short time
the names of the hostile cavalry were
seen shaking In the eastern horizon.
Then followed the battle In which the
Forian sultan was Philadelphia
