Woman Banks Ancient Coins.

Monticello, N Y, Feb. 2S.-Nearly
eighteen hundred dollars in old coins
was deposited to-day in the Month
cello National Union Bank by Miss
Cynthia Pintler, which amount rep
resented the savings of her brother,
Hiram Pintler, for more than seven
ty years.
Early in life Pintler formed the
habit of throwing all his small change
in a tin box. He was never forced
to draw from it, and when he died
a few months ago his relatives found
the box filed with small fortune.
In the collection are many coins
of ancient dates. Large, old copper
pennies, two-cent pieces, three-cent
pieces, old nickels and dimes, eagle
pennies, quarters and half dollars, q
few gold pieces and several one dol
lar bills which were of such an out
of-date appearance that the ordinary
person would consider them counter
feits.
Some of these coins have an ad-
ded value because of their age. Never
in the history Of the bank has such
an antique deposit been offered.

Can Cut Medicine Prices.

Washington, Feb. 29.-Patent medi-
cines and other patented articles may
be sold without reference to the
prices fixed by the patentee.
This was the opinion handed down
to-day by Justice Wright in the
equity court, when he refused the ap-
plication of drug manufacturing
concern for an injunction to prevent
a local druggist from "cutting' prices
without the manufacturers permis-
sion. The court declared that the
patentee of an article could control
the price by which it should be sold
by license" but that once the ar
ticle had found it's way to the open
market by outright purchase, all
rights to fix the price passed from the
patentee.
1t was admitted that the retail
druggist was not "licensee."

TO CONSIDER CARLISLE CASE.
President Holds Up Mandate Send
ing Aged Man to Prison.

Washington, Feb. 28.-1n response
to an appeal made to him to-day by
Senator Tillman and Representatives
Finley, Johnson, Ellerbe and Byrnes,
in behalf of NJ. A. Carlisle, of New
berry, President Taft has directed
Attorney General Wickersham to
hold up the mandate of the court
sending Carlisle to the Federal prison
at Atlanta until the president could
look into the matter and consider
the petition for pardon. The man
date would otherwise have issued
next Friday.
Representative Lever would have
accompanied the delegation but for
an important committee engagement,
and he will write to the president
urging clemency for the aged bank
er. Senator Smith and Representa-
tive Aiken were not in Washington
to-day. Mr.. Legare took no part in
the effort in Carlisle's behalf.

BOY OPENED SWITCH.
Had Just Been Closed When "Spring
Maid Passed.

Florence, March 1.-Sheriff T. S.
Burch arrested Jesse Byrd, small
negro boy, this morning for throwing
switch on the Coast Line at new
siding that is being put in for water
melon shipments, near the city linn
it's. The construction gang had just
finished the work and gone to dinner,
having tested the switch and locked
it. The boy was interested in the
working, and when the gang left he
undertook to work it himself, break
ing &c lock with a spike and open
ing the switch. 1t happened that
the foreman of the work wanted to
look at it again after dinner before
moving elsewhere, and he saw that
it had been opened. He had barely
time to close it before the special
train carrying the Spring Maid''
company from Wilmington to Colum-
bia dashed past. The members of
the company will never know how
close they came to a wreck. The boy
is half-witted.

SHIPPED STUDENTS TAKEN BACK
Trouble at University of Arkansas
Settled by Trustees.

Fayetteville, Ark, March 2.-The
six days contest between the 500
students of the University of Arkan-
sas and the professors of that insti-
tuition, who last Monday expelled SO
of the collegians, ended to-day in the
reinstatement of the latter. The eX-
pulsion resulted from an article in
the ''X-Ray," a semi-official univer-
sity publication. On the heels of the
expulsion the students struck, the
faculty sternly ordering them to re-
turn and the young men and women
answered by calling on the board of
trustees to assemble, hear the evil
dence and render a verdict.
A committee representing the
strikers went before the trustees this
morning and presented their griev-
ances, the exact nature of which are
not disclosed, except they claim the
right of free speech has been abridg-
ed This afternoon representatives
of the faculty were called in, and af-
ter two hours deliberation the board
proclaimed that the rules are too
stringent and would deny the right
of peaceable assembly to discuss
grievances. A committee of five was
appointed to make a thorough in
vestigation into any charges that may
be formulated" The students took
their victory calmly. Instead of jubi-
liant crowds on the campus, the dor
mitories are filled with persons in
tently studying.

Commits Suicide by Drinking Water,

Huntsville, Ala, Feb. 27.-After
numerous attempts to kill himself,
James Weaver, cotton mill opera
tive, succeeded last night by drink
ing himself to death, his beverage be-
ing spring water. Standing at hy-
drant in a cell in the county Jail in
which he has been confined on
charge of insanity, Weaver drank
dipper after dipper of water in plain
sight of the officers. Before they real
lied his object, he fell IN stupor
and expired.
Some weeks ago the man attempt
ed to end his life by leaping from the
window of moving train, and later
by cutting his throat. He is said to
have believed that John the Baptist
was making his life hell on earth"

TRAGEDY REVEALS ROMANCE.
Engraved Wedding Ring Found on
Bank Robbers Body.

Montreal, March 2.-The killing
to-day, by vigilance committee, OF
q bank robber who was shot to death
during the pursuit of a gang which
tried to loot branch of the Royal
Bank at Montreal, West, ended ro-
nance which apparently was to have
eliminated Tuesday. In the clothes
eff the dead bandit were found the
picture of a girl pasted in the back
of a pocket mirror and a new we'd
ding ring engraved with the words
"Will to Kittie, March 5, 1912
The ring with it's engraving and a
tattoo mark on the chest of the man
bearing the words I'm Memory of
Mother and Father" are the only
clues on which the police hope to es-
tablish the identity of the robber.
In their opinion the party of safe
blowers came from the United States.
Four members of the gang escaped
after a running fight with the vigi-
lance committe which attacked the
robbers before they could obtain any
booty. The fugitives we're supplied
with snow shoes, which enabled
them to outrun their pursuers.
The wedding ring found in the
mans clothes, the police say, un-
doubtedly was intended for the girl
whose picture he carried. The ex-
penses of the marriage ceremony,
set for Tuesday, they believe were to
have been paid for with the money
the robber hoped to get.

JOHN J. JONES LOSES AGAIN.
Abe Pearlstine's Slayer Denied New
Trial by Judge Shipp.

Orangeburg, March Pin an Or
der filed here to-day, Judge S. G. W.
Shipp denies the motion for a new
trial in the case of John J. Jones,
the Brancnville lawyer, who is un-
der sentence of ten years and one
month, having been convicted in jan
uary, 1911, of manslaughter in the
killing of Abe Pearlstine. The kill
ing occurred in the postoffice at
Branchville, of which town Pearl
stine was a prominent merchant.
Judge Ships decision holds that
the ground upon which the motion
for a new trial was based was a
mere irregularity. The defendants S
counsel, in arguing for new trial,
contended that the grand and petit
juries, which indicted and convicted
Jones, had been declared illegal at
subsequent term of court, and that
Jones had, therefore, been illegally
tried. Judge Shipp holds that the
contention is erroneous and denies
the motion.
Joncs's attorneys have not stated
whether or not this case will again
60 to the supreme court which has
already affirmed the judgment of the
circuit court without, however, pass
ing on the issue as to the legality OF
the juries, raised in the motion be-
fore Judge Shipp.
Jones is in the Jail here, having
come down from the penitentiary to
be present when the motion for a
new trial was argued. He had been
in the penitentiary since shortly af-
ter his conviction, but had not yet
entered upon the service of his SEN
tence
Any new move in this case will
be watched with interest as probably
no case in the history of the country
has been harder fought.

Missing Several Weeks.

St. Joseph, Mo-, March John
R. Etchison, found in dazed condi-
tion at Tampa, Fla, has family
here. He started to Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, several weeks ago and
wrote from Kansas City that he was
sick there. Until located at Tampa
no trace of him could be found.
Drew Money from Bank.
Etchison is retired farmer. He
drew $4,000 from each of two ST..
Joseph banks before leaving home.
Members of Etchison's family here
received a telegram from Tampa ten
days ago advising that he was there,
but could get no further particulars,
and did not credit the dispatch.
They visited local banks and found
that he had drawn out all his money,
and a friend was sent to Tampa.
Held Captive by Robbers.
Etchison said in Tampa that he
had either been slugged or fell from
a train in Kansas City, and then was
taken to Excelsior Springs, Mo-,
where he was chained in an abandon
ed house until he was taken to Tam
pa by the persons who robbed him.
Members of his family think he was
followed to Kansas City by persons
who knew how much money he had
drawn from the banks.

MAN FOUND IN TAMPA.
Memory Faulty, Money Gone, Mis-
sourian's Plight.

Tampa, March 2.-His mind al
most a total blank, without money
and scarcely a sufficient amount Of
clothing to cover him, J. R. Etchi-
son, a we'll known St. Joseph, Mo-,
man, was located here early this
morning in cheap rooming house.
Search for him has been in progress
for several days, on request of attor-
neys for Mrs. Etchison.
Mr.. Etchison's vague story of his
adventures indicates that he has
either lost or been robbed of cur
rency and bank certificates to the
amount of nearly 100000. To a
friend of the family here, he said
he left St. Joseph early in February
to go to Excelsior Springs to take
mud baths. While getting on the
train he stumbled and fell, bruising
an old wound on his head. The
next he remembers he was in a room
with barred windows, at Kansas
City.
Lands in Tampa.
There several strange men, he
says, placed some papers before him
and told him to sign them or he
would be killed. He said he was so
weak that he dropped the pen and
did not remember anything else un-
til he landed in Tampa with $3.50 in
his pocket He does not know
whether he drew all of his money
out of the banks or what became of
it. Letters from attorneys at st.
Joseph say that he drew all he had
deposited in three banks there.
Left Penniless.
He has memorandums of deposit
of over 100000 in banks at Wichita,
Topeka and Kansas City, but says
he thinks he drew this out. He
charges in his disconnected story that
while he was seeking a hotel here
he was set upon by several negroes
and robbed of the money he carried
when he arrived. A brother of the
unfortunate man will arrive here to-
morrow to take charge of him.

JEWELS TAKEN FROM BODIES
Robbers Plumber Graves in an Old
Cemetery Near New Orleans.

New Orleans, Feb. 21.-Robbers
plundering the graves containing
bodies buried more than 70 years
ago. securing jewels valued at sew
eral hundred dollars, was the story
brought to this city last nigh from
Pointe-a-la-Hache, Plaqucmine Par
ish.
The water-soaked caskets with
glass smashed. containing wasted
bodies were found above the ground
on Monday by persons living near
the cemetery.
