Tragedy of a Double Life.

Joseph Diamond, child of one of
the quiet, comfortably well-to-do
families of upper New York city, ap-
peared 10 his family in every regard
as an ideal son. He wrote them reg
ularly, and made them visits at their
home with the greatest loyalty and
delight. He told his parents he had
a prosperous huckstering business,
and they believed him. The other
Friday night he wrote them he
would be home and spend the Sab
bath with them as he often did. On
Sunday the parents got word that
their boy had been killed as burg
lar by a policeman in Philadelphia,
and that his body was in the morgue
awaiting directions. The young man
was professional burglar, with a
record of crime in many of the cities
of the country.

40 HORSE CARS IN GOTHAM.
1000 Quadrupeds Still Competing
With Electricity.

There still survive in New York
10 horse-drawn street cars, accord
ing to a report by the public service
commission.
The discovery that even one of
these ancient vehicles is still in use
in a city of skyscrapers and rapid
transit has always been a shock to
strangers, says a New York special,
but reason for the survival is point
ed out by the Street Railway Asso-
citation.
Notwithstanding that horses and
their keep have become far more
costly than two decades ago, the
comparison with the increased cost in
equipment and maintenance of elec-
trio lines has been far greater and
for short cross-town hauls the horse
itself still proves profitable power
for street car transit. In competi-
ton with something like the
strength of 100000 horses, as rep
resented in electrical power, there
are 1000 real horses still in service
for drawing the 10 surviving cars.

Clack and Wife Guilty.

Spartanburg, April 1S.-W. R.
Clack and his wife, Leonora Clack,
were found guilty of conspiracy and
extortion by a jury in the circuit
court to-day. They are alleged to
have extorted 5000 from ]. B. Sud-
duth, an aged farmer of Holly
Springs. Mrs. Clack accused Sud-
deth of having attempted to assault
her and he was put in Jail. After
Suddeth had complied with Clack's
demand for 5000, Mrs. Clack made
affidavit that her charge against Sud-
deth was without foundation, al
though she swore positively at the
investigation held by Magistrate Co.
lightly that Suddeth attacked her.
Mrs. Clack was tried also on a
charge of perjury. She was found
not guilty, although the jury found
her husband guilty of subordination
of perjury on the ground that he had
coerced his wife into swearing false
ly. The defendants will ask for a
new trial.

Do Not Use Postal Banks.

Washington, April 19.-On Jan
uary 81, 1912, there were 5S postal
savings repositories in operation in
South Carolina with deposits amount
ing to over $4,000. This amount

Girl Lawyer Defends Negro.

New York, April 1S.-Miss Lucille
Pugh, the young North Carolina wo-
man lawyer who was assigned by
Judge Swami in the court of general
sessions to defend Leroy Poindexter,
the negro who is under indictment
for the murder of Thomas Brown,
another negro, in a row over a crap
game, appeared before Justice Davis
in the criminal branch of the su-
preme court yesterday to ask that
the grand jury list drawn for the
Poindexter case be quashed on the
ground that the negro had been dis
criminated against in the making up
of these lists, in violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition.
No negro appears on the list from
which the grand jury which indicted
/. .PoindeXter was selected and no ne
gro appears on the special jury list
furnished for the trial.
Miss Pugh said in her argument
that there are $4,000 negroes in New
York and that there was prejudice
against them, which operated against
their being placed on jury lists. AS
an evidence of the general prejudice
against the colored race in New York
she instanced the action of various
property owners associations in at
tempting to keep negroes out of GER
tain districts in the city, particularly
in Harlem.
Miss Pugh submitted a memoran-
dunn in support of her contention and
asked that Commissioner of Jurors
Allison and others having to do with
the making up of jury lists be sub
poenaed to tell why the prejudice
against negroes should be allowed to
enter into a court proceeding.
Assistant District Attorney Moss,
in opposing the motion, insisted that
there had been no discrimination
against men of the colored race and
declared that he owed his life to a
colored porter and that he had more
than an ordinarily kind feeling for
the colored race. Justice Davis said
he would announce his ruling this
morning. The case has been put over
until April 20.
After the argument Miss Pugh said
that if her motion was denied she
would take the matter to the United
States courts under the fourteenth
amendment.

FREED AFTER 46 YEARS.
Once Famous Italian Bandit Scared
by the Worlds Progress.

Fifty years ago the brigand d An
gelo was famous in Europe He was
q young man of Palombara, noun
tain town in central Italy. He killed
the defamer of his sweetheart's name
and then fed to the hills and became
brigand.
His method was to capture trav-
eller, rob him and then lead him to
a precipice. There the unfortunate
man was allowed to choose between
leaping to death and having bullet
in the brain.
D'Angelo had disposed of dozen
victims before he was captured, tried
and sentenced for life. That was
46 years ago. He has just been re-
leased.
He was dismissed with $50 earned
in prison, and as his legs are para
lyzed, he was carried to the railway
station, where a ticket to his native
village was given to him. On the
way he met a motor car and was ter
rifed at the strange rushing hum
ming thing. Then a cyclist came
along and d'Angelo was much per-
turbed lest the rider should fall off.
The prison officials say that during
his long captivity he was never
known either to ask a favor of any
one or to break a prison rule.

Adds Thousands to Rivers Victims.

The break in the main line levee
of the Mississippi river last Thurs
day four miles below Rosedale and
another in Arkansas river added 25,-
900 persons to the list of flood suf-
ferers in southern Arkansas, north
eastern Louisiana and northwestern
Mississippi, the yellow flood pouring
over the richest land in the coun-
try and inundating an area almost
as large as the New England States.
The plight of thousands of homeless
people is pitiable, hundreds are ma
rooned in isolated places, patiently
waiting to be carried to higher
ground. Many have been without
food for days and are in dire dis
tress for the want of clothing, food
and bedding.
Officials of the national govern
ment have combined their forces
as many as possible. The need of
motor boats and skiffs to be used in
rescuing persons in trees and from
house tops is extreme and all avail
able craft, power and otherwise, has
been bought or chartered by the Of
fcials.
The water is rising fast at Tai
lulah, La, and every effort is being
made to carry the inhabitants to Mil
likens Bend where a temporary
refugee camp will be established i'm
mediately to take care of 1000. This
camp is to be protected by the ma
tional guard.
Urgent appeals from more than
5000 persons have been received at
Vicksburg, where g. large camp will
be esta blished Immediately under
the protection of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard. The territory between
Vicksburg and Monroe, La, is flood
ing rapidly and whatever is done
must be done quickly.
Railroads are all out of commits
sion in the inundated sections and
whatever supplies are collected can
only be distributed by boats. A large
subscription has been started in New
Orleans. The New Orleans cotton
exchange gave a check for $1,000,
which was soon followed by check
for similar amount from the Be-
nevolent and Protective Order of
ElkS.

Flood Situation Grows Worse.

New Orleans, April 20.-With
flood waters of the Mississippi river
rushing through crevasses in the
levees of the big stream in Southwest
Arkansas, Northwest Mississippi
and Northeast Louisiana, slowly
finding their way over towns and
plantations, reports to-day continued
to tell of much suffering in the vast
flooded area.
Relief work among the thousands
of homeless people is being we'll
conducted under the supervision of
State and federal officials. with head
quarters at Vicksburg, Miss, where
already about 5000 negroes from
Louisiana are quartered. Relief sta
tions have been established at a
dozen points in Northeastern Loui-
siana and at points in Mississippi,
throngs of destitute folk are being
fed and given clothing, cooking uten-
sils, medicines, etc. A number OF
levees were reported almost at the
breaking point tonight. The fed
eral and State engineers admitted
they may not be able to hold all OF
them if heavy rains continue for
another week.
Conditions will grow worse during
the next week in the Sunfiower VAL
ley of Mississippi and in Northeast
ern Louisiana.
The governors of Mississippi and
Louisiana and mayors OF cities
throughout these States have issued
appeals during the past few days
for relief funds, and provisions are
rapidly being rushed to the food
sufferers.

BAD AFFAIR NEAR GREER.
Four White Men Charged with As
saulting Young Woman.

Greenville, April 21.-News
reached Greenville tonight of hor-
rible offence, said to have been per-
petrated upon a young white woman
by four white men, about midnight
Saturday, at the home, one mile
north of Greer, in Spartanburg coun-
ty. The police of Greer notified the
local authorities tonight Of the af-
fair and requested them to be on the
watch out for the men. Their names
and other data were furnished the
police. 1t was stated that the Spar
tanburg police have been advised of
the matter and requested to keep on
the lookout for the parties. A war
rant was worn out for the men be-
fore Magistrate Henderson, of Spar
tanburg county, and his constables
have been in pursuit to-day. To-
night communication was establish
ed with the police at Greer and par
ticulars of the alleged crime secured.
According to the story of the
Greer police, four white men went
to the home of white man, one mile
from Greer, about 1880 or -
o'clock Saturday night. The man
of the house was not at home, hav-
ing gone to Spartanburg to see
sick brother. His wife and single
woman about % years of age, either
a sister or sister-in-law, were alone
in the house. The men are said to
have forced an entrance to the
house. Their approaches were re-
sented by the two women and live
ly struggle ensued. One of the men
is said to have struck the married
woman over the head with lantern
and felled her. This woman is said
to have recovered from the blow and
rushed out and to the house of
neighbor In the meantime, it is
said, the men took their departure.
A boy with a shotgun, it seems,
responded to the woman's cries for
help and took up his position at the
house. Very soon, it is said, the
men returned to the house and dis
armed the boy. They are said to
have then seized the young woman
and carried her to nearby patch of
woods, where they succeeded in ac-
complishing their purpose.
The Greer police were unable to
give any further particulars of the
affair." The alleged crime took place
in Spartanburg county, and through
the constables of the magistrate who
issued the warrant the Greer police
learned these particulars.
News of the alleged crime had not
become generally known at Greer to-
night or in the surrounding country,
and as to whether or not there would
likely be any show of violence if the
news spread the Greer police could
not state.

Horse Stung by Bees.

One of the most exciting incl
dents in the life of Dave Stribling,
mail carrier on Route 4, happened
Friday afternoon as he was driving
on his usual daily journey. Several
miles from Senaca an unusually
large swarm of bees came humming
up the road to meet him. They set
tied on his horse, singing it over
$50 times on the head alone. The
horse was badly injured and it was
thought for some time that it would
die, but it is doing well now. Mrs.
J. D. Oliver, who lives near the scene
of the incident, seeing the plight of
the horse, had the presence of mind
to come to the rescue, which she did
by throwing her apron over the
horses head. While scraping the
bees off the sides and f1anks of the
animal, both Mrs. Oliver and Mr..
Stribling were stung number of
times, Mr.. Stribling being severely
stung on the hands and head. The
bees were gotten rid of after while,
a new horse was secured and the
carrier continued his journey rather
the worse for wear.-Senaca Farm

PERILS OF THE DIAMOND.
Rescue of Native Miners from a
''Niud-RUSh.'

One morning a band Of natives
hard at work in corner of the mine
at Kimberley we're startled by dull
noise as ii a few tons of some soft
substance had been hurled against
the high door that separated the
spot where they worked from the
long tunnel that led to the shaft
says the New York Sun. The mud!
they cried and dropped their picks
in an instant. A mud rush means
certain death to all in its track. 1t
gives no warming 1t comes silently
like an ugly, wriggllng snake; it
works it's way swiftly, spares moth
ing, covers everything.
The Englishmen at the opening to
the tunnel roared out, "Climb to the
top of the wall.' which the natives
promptly did There for the time
at least they were safe. Stay where
you are." the Eglishmen called. IF
you jump down you will be sucked in
and suffocated in two minutes" Soon
the tunnel was a tunnel no longer,
but a mass of quivering slime. The
mud flowed for hours. Then it grad
ually slowed and ceased.
The Englishmen outside sat round
on a neighboring rock and looked
down helplessly into the pit. All
manner of suggestions were made,
most of them worthless, but in the
end it was decided to try to reach
the men, not by removing the mud,
but by passing over it. One man laid
a plank upon the mud and stretched
himself on it. A little spade was
handed to him, with which he began
to cut into the mud and pull himself
along as man face downward in a
canoe might pull himself forward
with a paddle. He worked bravely
on, half-inch by half-inch. Then an
other man put down plank and fol-
lowed him.
In half an hour six men were laid
fiat on six planks IN the midst OF
the mud. There was 63 feet of mud
between them and it were these thin
planks that might keel over at any
moment and send them to suffo-
eating death. And behind was the
hidden spring of destruction that
might let loose its slime again, flood
the tunnel and capsize the planks
like cookie shells on turbulent sea.
When the man on the first plank
reached the wall on which the natives
were huddled he called to them:
you've seen the way I've come.
Well, I'm going back. but I'm leav-
ing the planks for you to follow on.
Crawl along the planks as much like
snake as you can,
Slowly the men on the planks Slid
back, leaving the wooden line be-
hind them Slowly the natives fol-
lowed. Nobody spoke. The black
mass underneath looked as hard as
a rock, but was as soft as porrldge
and trembled horribly. AS each man
reached the end plank he was hauled
into safety and carried half-fainting
out of the tunnel. When the last
native arrived his mates thought he
was stranger. His hair was per-
fectly white.
