General Patterson Criticised.

In the north the controversy was al.
most as fierce. At the time II was
claimed that General Scott had not III
vored McDowell's movement toward
Manassas and had been driven Into a
reluctant assent by the cry Of ION to
Richmond" The north agreed on one
thing. however. With great unanimity
ana vigor it pitched into General Rob
crt Patterson for his failure TO hold
General Johnston In the Shenandoah h
valley. Patterson's time expired with
that OF the three months troops. and
he was allowed to lapse back into OIL
security.
Out OF all this muck of contradictions
the facts OF the Bull Run fight seem
To have been these: That both armics,
were raw and unused to fighting. that
the battle was well planned. but poo,
ly carried out. and that both armie,
.werc severely hurt. these things nc
counting for the flight of the nnrthcr,
forces toward Washington and the in
disposition of the southcrncrs to fol
low. General sherman said later the
both armies We're fairly defeated In tn
fight. and General Johnston has sal,
that the southcrners were worse dis
organized by their victory than wet,
the northerncrs by their defeat.
One important result of the BATH
was the shifting Of northern general

Child Brutally Punished.

Hackensack, N. J., March 8.-A
12-year-old boy, whose body was
shrunk by. i'll nourishment almost to
the outline of his skeleton was found
stark naked this afternoon in the cold
barren attic of an old shack on the
Ramapo Mountains near here. Five
of his toes were gone from the effects
of freezing.
The case was discovered by agents
of the Bergen County Children's So
ciety, who caused the arrest of the
boys father, VIM. Jennings. He was
committed to Jail, charged with keep
ing the lad a prisoner. 1t is alleged
he fed him just enough to keep him
alive. When araigned the father
said that be would kill the manswho
started the trouble. ''The boy is
mine; why don't people mind their
own business
The child was brought to the Hack
ensack hospital tonight where ampu-
tation of both legs will probably be
necessary.

ESCAPED AND ASKS FOR PARDON
Appeared in Person at Office of the
Governor.

Columbia, March 8-Franklin Nc
Allister, an escaped negro convict, to-
day walked into the governors office
and presented his own petition for
pardon. Half an hour later he was
again a life prisoner at the State
and presented his own petition for a
pardon is before Governor Blease.
Il want to see the governor and
present petition for my pardon,
said McAllister, as he sauntered into
the chief executives outer Office to-
day. Alex Rowland, the governors S
secretary, asked the man his name
and these were McAllister's words:
II am Frank McAllister, got away
from the State farm last January
and went home to my mother, who
heard was blind, and my little sister,
and also to get the petition my moth
er was keeping for me-" With this
statement he handed over petition
that had been presented during the
administration of Gov. D. G. Hey
ward.
After the petition had been filed a
guard was sent for and McAllister
was sent out to the penitentiary.
The negro was convicted of murder
in 1901 and was sentenced to life
Imprisonment. He was made a
*'trusty," escaping in January, and
he had not been heard from until to-
day, when he voluntarily gave him
self up and presented his own pc
tition. This is a unique case indeed.
Edward Green, the pal of Fannie
Carson, the last white woman life
termer who left the prison last
spring, was to-day refused pardon
by Gov. Blease The apparent effect
of the refusal is to criticise Gov.
Ansel's pardon of Fannie Carson.
Ed Green is also a life timer. Green
and Fannie Carson were convicted
more than Is years ago of the klllI
ing of Fannie Carson's husband, j.
o. Carson. On March 19, 1910, Gov.
ernor Ansel pardoned Fannie Carson
and to-day Gov. Blease refused to
grant a pardon to her accomplice in
crime.
The killing of J. o. Carson was
most atrocious. He was murdered
in bed, a careful plot having been
made to rid the woman of her hus-
band. The crime took place in Spar
tanburg county.

were sleeping. A local freight was
ordered to remain over in Orange
burg eight hours last night and the

apartments. When the fire was dis
covered one end of the car in which
the only end door was located was a
mass of flames. After some difficulty
a side door was opened and the train
men managed to escape in their night
clothes. The personal effects as well
as fine watch were burned.

Hampton, March 9.-LeRoy B.
Tuten, who is charged with the kill
ing of James R: Langford on No
vember 29 is still in the local Jail
here. He is very composed at all
times and receives his many friends
and relatives in the best of spirits
and denies the charges made against
him.
Mr.. Tuten is a handsome man of
about AZ years of age and has wife

BOILER EXPLODES.
Unusual Accident in Southern Rail-
way Shop Yards.

Fragments of Southern engine
1915 were scattered over an area OF
400 yards yesterday afternoon after
an explosion of the boiler and there
were some freakish results and some
narrow escapes. The fact that several
people were not killed or seriously in
iured is explained in the words OF
Henry Williams, superintendent OF
this division: "No one knows where
an explosion will land.'
Engine 1915 was one Of the Oldest
in service on the Columbia division
and had been used on number OF
the branch lines out of this city. Yes
terday afternoon it was taken to the
coal chute near the corner of Laurel
and Laurens streets. According to D.
B. Watts, the hostler in charge, there
were about 1873 pounds of steam pres
sure showing in the cab indicator.
This steam pressure threw about 100
pounds of metal over in Gregg street,
crashed through a house occupied by
Sam Williams, a negro, and sections
of the bell and sand dome split a
wagon in half at the corner Of Bland
ing and Laurens street.
Explosion Not Earthquake.
This happened so quickly that the
fragments were being gathered up be-
fore it was realized that the boiler
of the engine had bursted and then
the railroad men began to take an in
ventory. Mr.. Watts, who was stand
ing beside, the engine at the time
found that he was slightly bruised
and Dave jenkins, negro, dlscov-
cred that he was thrown out of the
cab. Several others standing around
saw the casing of the engine go up
in the air and a few minutes later
residents in Waverly, half mile dis
tant, telephoned to The State that
there had been an earthquake shock,
On Neaf.retlPeQ LlSC.
The engine has been on the near
retired list for some time and the ex-
plosion of a locomotive boiler is al
mo& unheard of now. Had the ex-
plosion occurred a few minutes
earlier, there would have been
number of lives lost, as the engine
had just been taken from the round
house under the pressure of steam
shown on the indicator.
The force of the explosion, while
wrecking the entire front of the To-
comotive, did not move it's wheels
from the track and it was taken
back to the repair shop without diff
fculty. Columbia State, Friday,
March 10th.

Injunction Issued.

Beaufort, March 9.-Judge Gary
to-day at Walterboro issued a tempo
rary injunction against the men re-
Gently appointed township commits
sioners in Beaufort county in oppo-
sition to the recommendation of the
legislative delegation, and they are
cited to show cause why the tempo
rary Injunction should not be made
permanent.
Gov. Blease in appointing the
township commissioners, entirely ig-
nored the recommendation of the
legislative delegation in six of the
seven townships in spite of the pro-
vison of the code that he shall ap-
point them upon the recommends
ton of the delegation.
The appointments were made, it is
understood, after a conference with
Thomas Talbird, political follower
of the governor, who opposed the
election of the members of the Beau
fort delegation.
The governors action caused in
dignation in Beaufort and as it is be-
lieved that the appointments made
by the governor are illegal it was de-
termined to take the case to the
courts.
1t is especially necessary that there
be no question as to the legality OF
the township commissioners because
they are to be entrusted with the
spending of 100000 for the erec-
ton of bridge from Beaufort to the
opposite island.
Now that the restraining order has
been issued the case will have to be
argued upon question of making the
order permanent and the decision Of
this case may be precedent that
will settle the other disputed appoin.
ments in the State.

Stopped Feast of Human Flesh.

Paris, March S.-Colonel Moll, just
back from the French Congo, tells
the following story:
ION one of my expeditions into
the interior, I fell in with tribe of
man-eating blacks, and I happened
to arrive on the eve of a funeral of
a chief. According to the customs
of the country, the dead chiefs wives
were to be slaughtered and then fried
for the benefit of the tribe. There
were "a or 25 of them. At first 1
did not know that they were to be
killed, and I wondered why the
funeral commissioners gave them
each a. very careful bath, washing
and scrubbing them until their bodies
shone like mirrors.
"That over, a barrel of flour was
emptied on the ground, and the la
dies were rolled in the flour. That
caused my suspicious. Are they 60
ing to fry or roast them like sprats?
I asked myself.
'As the women looked rather Woe
begone, l asked the man in charge
what fate was in store for them.
''Why, we are going to eat the wild
ows," replied the native.
''Of course, forbade the atrocity
and caused the widows to be set at
liberty without delay, giving a head
of cattle for each of the ladies. This
suited the funeral commission, as a
COW weighs so much more than a
chiefs wife, but the tribe acted as if
very much disgruntled.
These people had made up their
minds for human flesh and had walk
ed 10 to 20 miles to obtain the deli
cacy. Now, that roast beef was sub
stituted for roast widow, they felt
that they had been cheated, and I
might have suffered severely at their
hands if I hadn't been attended by
large force"
