O'NEILL'S TROUBLES OVER.
All Charges Against Him at Branch.
vile Dismissed.

Branchville, June 19.-The va
grancy charge filed here last night
against young man giving his name
as Ed. J. O'Neill, of Charleston, was
dismissed this morning by Mayor
Dukes, who deemed the evidence
against O'Neill insufficient to sus-
tain the charge.
O'Neill had first been arrested on a
charge of abduction. 1t developed
later that this accusation was the re-
suit of a misunderstanding between
the two officials of Branchville and
the parents of a young lady of the
town whom O'Neill came here to
marry. The parents of the young
woman at first objected to the mar
riage and their attitude led to o.
NeilFs arrest, as has been published.
Later they consented to the marriage
and he was released, but was rearrest-
ed subsequently by the town authori-
ties on a charge of vagrancy, which
charge, as stated above, was dismiss
ed by Mayor Dukes this morning, the
evidence failing to bear it out.
O'Neill and the young lady in the
case left Branchville about 5 o'clock
in an automobile, stating that they
were going to Orangeburg for IL
cense and that they would be married
there.

O'Neal Married at Orongeburg.
Charleston

Orangeburg, June 20.-After many
difficulties, Cupid won out for Ed. j.
O'Neal, when he married Miss Alma
Barr in this city at about 1870 o'clock
this morning. This marriage was a
novel one. To be arrested three
times, secure marriage license just
before midnight, asking performance
of marriage ceremony of judge of
probate and ministers, only to be re-
fused, to have refusing minister in
form other ministers of the city to
refuse to perform the ceremony, and
finally to arouse sleeping magistrate
after l o'clock and prevail upon him
until he tied the knot was the ex-
perience of Ed. J. O'Neal and his
youthful and handsome sweetheart,
Miss Alma S. Barr of Branchville.
O'Neal came to Branchville about
two days ago and registered at a no.
tel, using an assumed name. He
made effort to marry Miss Barr, but
was arrested by the town authorities
and charged with abduction. He gave
bond. Upon his appearance at court
this charge was dropped He was re-
arrested and charged and tried for
vagrancy, being acquitted of this Of
fense. O'Neal at last secured the
consent of Miss Barr's parents to the
marriage and came to Orangeburg in
an automobile. Word had been re-
ceived in Orangeburg to arrest O'Neal
if he came to town. Upon his ar
rival here last night O'Neal was
taken from his sweetheart and placed
in the guard house. After communi-
cation with Branchville was had o.
Neal was turned loose.
The Judge of probate was visited
at his residence by the determined
couple and a marriage license was
obtained little before midnight. The
judge Of probate refused to marry
the couple, but advised them to re-
turn to Branchville and be married
there. The Rev. George E. Davis,
pastor of the Baptist church, refused
to perform the ceremony and gave
similar advice to that of the judge of
probate. The couple, learning that
the other ministers were advised not
to perform the ceremony, hurried to
the home of G. P. Brunson, magis-
trate, and succeeded in having the
ceremony performed.

CHARGED WITH ABDUCTING GIRL
Young Men of CoWpens Held for
Court On Ugly Charge.

Spartanburg, June 2O.-Carlisle
Wilkins and Moody Henry, sons of
well-known residents of Cowpens,
were arrested here at 4 o'clock this
morning on a charge of abducting the
fourteen-year-old daughter of mer-
chant of Chesnee. Tonight, after
preliminary investigation marked by
dramatic features, they were held by
Magistrate Robert J. CAN'T for trial
in the Circuit Court.
The young lady, very pretty girl,
still in short dresses, who has been
away from home On visit to rela-
tives, told of meeting the youths at
moving picture show. They went
for drive to Mayo to see her cousin,
she said, but the latter was not at
home. She wanted to go home to
Chesnee, but the young men, she said
persuaded her to drive with them to
Spartanburg She consented, intend
ing to go TO the home of her aunt here
but they did not reach Spartanburg
until midnight and the youths pre-
vailed on her to go to the Roberta
Hotel, she testified, telling her it
would be all right, but that it would
be best to register under assumed
names.
During the night the youths, it is
alleged, attempted to enter her room,
but were elected by James Brewton,
negro bell boy, who once was a SER
want for the girls father. Brewton
sent word to the Chesnee merchant
that his daughter was in danger. At
the hearing Attorney S. J. Nichols,
for the prosecution, paid the negro a
high tribute, saying his action had
saved the girl from ruin.
Mr.. Wilson, the hotel clerk, testi-
fed that Wilkins and Henry, after
being prevented from entering the
girls room, told him that they had
brought her to the hotel for an i'm
moral purpose and if prohibited from
carrying out their intention wanted
their money back. Policemen were
summoned and arrested the youths.
On his arrival in the city the girls
father swore out a warrant for them.
The girls mother, who is said to
be separated from her husband, en-
tered the Court room while the hear
ing was in progress and sobbed vio-
lently throughout the proceedings.
The case has caused stir.

VOTE TO REFUSE
CARNEClE'S GIFT
Methodist Bishops Draw Up
Veto Message.
POINT OUT
OBJECTIONS
Claim Acceptance Would
Be Breach of Trust
and Invalid.

Nashville, Tenn, June 20.-At a
called meeting of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, attended by nine
members of the college of bishops, a
veto message was drawn up, setting
forth the following objections to the
action of the board of trustees in &C
cepting the recent gift from Andrew
Carnegie to the Vanderbilt Medical
college:
THAT the action of the board OF
trustees of Vanderbilt, in accepting
the gift, is breach of trust vested IN
it under and by virtue of the resolu-
tions of the Memphis convention,
which constitute the foundation OF
Vanderbilt university; that said &C
tion is beyond the powers of the board
and that it constitutes diversion OF
a large portion of the funds and prop
erty of the university from the trusts
upon which said property is held, is
contrary to the terms of other gifts
to the university, and is illegal, null
and void"
A CODY of this action will be duly
certified and forwarded to the secre-
tary of the board of trust of the uni
versity.
Those attending the meeting were:
Bishops Collins Denny, E. R. Hen
dirk, w. r. Lambuth, E. D. Mouzon,
J. C. Kilgo, ]. H. Mccoy, E. E.
Hoss, H. C. Morrison and W. A. Can
dler.
The resolutions vetoing the accept
ance of the 81, 100000 gift by Carne-
gle were adopted unanimously by the
bishops.
In addition to a veto message the
bishops addressed message to the
church stating their reason for op-
posing the gift. They say in part:
eff this gift had been offered with
out embarrassing conditions, as all
other endowments have been, we
would have offered no objections to
it's acceptance, but the conditions at
taehed to this gift and the letter &C
companying it, which must be taken
as expesitory of the conditions, are
such as lead us to believe it can not
be accepted without a breach of trust
and without dishonor to the church,
if conditions are fulfilled in good
faith to the donor.
eve are as unwilling that Mr.. Car
negie should be deceived as that the
university should be dismembered
and the church of God dishonored.

FOILED AT BRANCHVILLE.
Charleston Man Suspected of Being
White SLAYER.

Branchville, June 1S.-A EOuns
man about 25 years of age, giving his
name as Ed ]. O'Neill, of Charleston,
was arrested here tonight about
O'Clock on the charge of abduction.
O'Neill came here to-day and register
ed at the Bass Hotel under the name
of Berry and said that he had come to
marry a young woman of this town.
The girls father objected, and it is
said the young couple attempted to
elope on the evening train to St.
George, where O'Neill proposed to
secure license and be married. The
Young woman's father foiled that
plan, so the couple secured an auto
mobile, it is claimed, and started to
Orangeburg.
The young woman's father had
O'Neill arrested on charge of alb
duction, but later withdrew the
charge reluctantly, whereupon O'Nelll
was held for vagrancy. He gave a
thirty-dollar bond, but did not give
satisfactory account of himself.
Upon advice of an attorney, which
led to a search of his baggage by
Mayor Dukes, a number of suspicious
telegrams. hotel addresses, screw
drivers, keys, etc, we're found, which
led the authorities to suspect that he
might be a white SLAYER.
O'Neill is being held until he can
satisfy the authorities of his Identity.
The hearing is set for 10 o'clock to-
morrow.
The young lady in the case was a
student at the Orangeburg Collegiate
Institute and seems to have become
acquainted with O'Neill very recently.

tions. He appeared here several days
ago and inquired for some persons
O'Neill gave names of several well
known Charleston men as references,
but up to a late hour nothing salts
factory had been received. His pecu-
liar actions and conflicting statements

He claims to have known the young
woman for some time, claiming to
have met her while she was a student
in Orangeburg. Sunday, it is said,
they decided to marry in few days.
The parents of the girl learned of
their plans to-day and objected siren
uously.
The young people made no secret
of their intended elopement, which
frankness would seem to disprove
the suspicious of the local authorities
that O'Neill is a white SLAYER. The
fact. however, that he had secured no
marriage license and that he made
VARYING statements as to his line OF
business and connections confirms
the opinion that at least his inten-
tions were not of nature to let 90
without investigation. Identifying
witnesses have been summoned from
Charleston.
