To Turn Against Beattie.

Richmond, Va, July 24.-The i'm
portant development to-day in the
Beattie murder case was an alleged
indication on the part of Beulah Bin
ford, the woman with whom it is
said Henry C: Beattie was infatuated,
that she had decided to turn against
him. To-day Miss 'Binford, who is
in jail as witness in default of ST.
900 bail, held conference with De-
tective Scherer: and Commonwealth s
Attorney Weinsberg, and it is said
she made admissions that will
strengthen the commonwealth case
against Beattie.
The "other woman" in the tragic
mystery had entirely recovered to-
day from the Mysteries that over
came her when she was locked up.
She seemed happy and was bright
and cheerful.
Many rumors about the Beattie
murder case were afioat in Rich
mond to-day, but all apparently fail
ed of confirmation.

EMPLOYEES GET INCREASE.
Postoffice, Railway Clerks and Letter
Carriers.

Carriers.
Washington, July 24.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock to-day ordered
promotions for postofice clerks and
city letter carriers carrying increases
in salaries approximating 100000
a year. Orders were also issued for
promotions in the railway mail ser
vice which will total $175,000 year.
These increases are in addition to
the increases for rural mail carriers
totaling $4,00O,O00 a year, which be-
came effective July /.
The four great groups of postal
employees have received increases in
pay aggregating s6,000,O00 during
the current fiscal year. Postmaster
General Hitchcock says the increases
will be more than Offset by increased
efficiency of the employees and he be-
lieves the advances are warranted
by the fact that the postofice is now
practically on self sustaining basis.

KILLED BY ENGINE.
Ben Blackman and Charles Trent De.
capitated.

Florence, July 23.--Ben Blackman
and Charles Trent, two young men
about 20 years of age, were decapi-
tated by Coast Line engine on the
freight yards here last night. From
the evidence that can be gathered it
seems that the young men were
about town until a late hour and
having acquaintance at the transfer
yards started there. It is supposed
that they sat down on the track and
being tired and sleepy slipped down
from a sitting posture to one more
comfortable with their heads resting
on the rail.
The engine which struck them was
returning from the yards to the
round house. Engineer Thomas H.
Lee was running the engine and was
on the right. side of the engine,
backing towards the shops, while
the young men were on his left, and
hidden by the tender of the engine,
which carried no light. Jim Wins
ton, a negro, was on the engine flag
ging it to it's berth and he says he
saw what he thought was one man
lying on the track just before they
struck them.
Coroner S. B. Cooper summoned a
jury, but not being satisfied with
what was brought out the inquest
was adjourned until Tuesday night.
There are people who believe that
foul play may have been done and
the bodies put on the track, though
the physicians who examined them do
not incline to that belief.
Both we're popular. Blackman
was a member of the choir of St.
Johns Episcopal chapel. Trent has
been here two years, and made many
friends. He joined Ebenezer Bap-
tist church last summer and the
members of that church undertook to
care for the body and bury it. They
got in communication with the boys
mother, who lives~in Durham, N. c.,
after some difficulty.

Safe Blown, Money Stolen.

Chattanooga, July 22.-Burglars
blew open the safe of the Tennessee
Valley Bank at Stephenson, Ala, last
night, with nitroglycerine and got
away with $1,000. In their haste,
they overlooked $4,000 in an inner
drawer of the safe.
The robbery was not discovered
until this morning. Currency bags
which had contained the cash were
found on the road on the outskirts
of the town. The burglars took the
precaution to cover the windows
of the bank with dark cloth while
working on the job.
No trace of the burglars has been
found, though the officers are on the
trail.

WON'T ALLOW BOOK-MAKING.
Opposes Gambling, Blease Says
Even at State Fair Races.

Columbia, July Ex-Governor
Blease was asked what would be his
attitude toward betting in case the
project to establish metropolitan
race track at Charleston should be
revived, as it is intimated it will be.
81 have not changed my opinion as
expressed before my inauguration" "

er and his patron in case there is any
attempt at betting"
