Farmer is Missing.

Orangeburg, June 2.-J. G. Boy
kin, farmer of this county, residing
on the old Charleston road between
Orangeburg and Bowman, has dis
appeared and foul play is feared. Mr..
Boykin has been missing since May
Is and so far no trace of him has
been found. Mr.. Boykin left his
home on that day to secure someone
with a team to assist him in moving
his personal property, as he was go
ing to move to another farm.
Mrs. Boykin became alarmed when
her husband failed to return. She
knew that sometime ago her husband
had been attacked by an unknown
party and badly injured. Mr.. Boykin
had also been warned by letter to
leave that community or he would
be violently dealt with. Mr.. Boykin
was also a main witness in some
criminal cases and from these facts
it is thought that he has met with
foul play.

TRICKY BRER RABBIT.
Dodges Large Snake Until 1t Hills
Itself on Stones.

Near Wilkesbarre, Pa, in battle
for life between a rabbit and five
foot blacksnake, the rabbit triumph
ed by using strategy. The snake cor
nered the rabbit, and as the cotton
tail took refuge behind three large
stones, the snake attempted to close
in on it. The rabbit kept jumping
from one side to another in the small
space in which to make the fight, and
every time the rabbit jumped, the
snake moved back and forth over the
stones, one of which was very sharp.
The tender part of the snakes body
was finally worn in two by the sharp
edge of the stone and as the snake
fell in two parts the rabbit jumped
over the rocks and was soon lost in
the woods.

WEALTH OF THE CZAR.
Nicholas. of Russia, Richest Man On
Earth.

While Russia is frequent and
large borrower among the nations OF
the earth, Gear Nicholas, according
to a statement presented to his majes-
ty by the imperial treasurer general,
is the richest man in the world. The
statement is couched in fanciful Ian
guage, but the facts which recites
are said by St. Petersburg bankers
to be beyond dispute.
your majesty" says Baron Men
chikoff, need have no fear of ever
coming to suffer the stings of pov-
erty. Financially, you are solvency
itself. With one hand you could buy
out the American multi-millionaires,
Rockefeller and Morgan, and still
have sufficient in the other to talk
business with Baron Rothschild. Or,
if you prefer, you can take over the
Krupps, although I would not recon-
mend the investment.
Gar Nicholas is very angry with
Baron Menchikoff and his playful
ways and rebuked him soundly for in
dulging in such undignified compar-
isons."
The cars civil list amounts to
nearly two millions sterling, includ-
ing the amounts paid to the grand
dukes; and of this sum more than a
million is available for his private
purposes. Then he owns lands in
Russia and in Europe which cover an
area equal to that of the whole of
Nevada, of which the revenues reach
the vast sum of s20,O0O,O00 per an
mum, of which s5,000,000 is paid
to the grand ducal families. The
cars lands in Siberia bring him in
another s7,50O,000, although they
are at present largely undeveloped.
Altogether, including interest on say
ings, the czar's income exceeds $780,
100000, and is increasing rapidly.
He sets aside each year large sum
for each of his four daughters, so
that if any one of the royal princes
contracts a marriage in that quarter
he will do extremely we'll from a
worldly point of view-though, of
course, the exact disposition of the
czar's huge fortune is known only to
himself and his financial adviser.

WHILE FAMILY
WATCH STORM.
Father and Four Other
Children Painfully but
not Seriously Hurt.

Macon, Ca, June 1.-Mrs. J. c.
Thomas and her son, Jesse c. Thon-
as, Jr., were instantly killed, and
four other members of the family
and a neighbor's child injured by
stroke of lightning which struck the
Thomas home, two miles north Of
Jefersonville, 25 miles from Macon,
Saturday afternoon at $50 o'clock
during a severe electrical storm.
The injured are: J. c. Thomas, Sr.,
Elliot Thomas, aged years; Louise
Thomas. aged 12, and Merrill Meth
vim, aged IA.
Because of the fact that telephone
and telegraph wires were put out OF
commission by the storm, news of the
tragedy did not reach here until to-
day, when a relative came here to Sc
cure the services of an undertaken.
The members of the family were
gathered on the front porch of their
home watching the antics OF the
storm. The bolt struck the rear OF
the house, coming out through the
front. The father was the first to
fall, but retained consciousness. He
saw his wife and his son stricken
dead and for time thought the 9TH
er children had suffered like fate.
In a few minutes he was able TO
rise and went to their assistance.
The body of Mrs. Thomas was bad
" burned as was that of her son.
Louise, the daughter, was paralyzed,
for several hours, but has suffered no
serious results. The hair was slnged
from the head of Elliot, the 9-year-
old boy, and his neck and chest were
burned.
The Thomas family has resided
near Jeffersonville for about year,
coming there from South Carolina.

WAS MARINE ELEPHANT.
lannon's Great Eastern Proved to Be
Great Failure.

That famous old steamship OF the
sixties. the Great Eastern, has been
the occasion of a friendly invasion Of
letters provoked by an item in Re
plies to Readers says the New York
Sun. The semi-old-timers who re-
member the ships are many. Their
descriptions make her seem a thing
of yesterday, and this is natural for
she was years ahead of her time. In
fact, that was the trouble with her.
The Great Eastern was for many
a year the greatest thing afloat. Dur
ing her existence she never had RI
val for length and tonnage. She was
a wonder of the waters. Whenever
she anchored at New York, great
crowds, such as now regularly visit
the warships when they drop anchor
hereabout, fairly focked aboard the
Great Eastern. Unfortunately, le-
viathan cannot be made to pay on
the basis of so cents general admis-
sion, and she was as big financial
failure as she was ship.
mot Very Old-timer' account
different correspondents reccollec-
tions of the street where the vessel
docked by the suggestion that she
lay across several streets, all spanned
by her extreme length. Every one
naturally located her position from
from the street or dock from which
he went aboard.
Besides being dire failure financi-
ally, the Great Eastern was known as
the possessor of an uncommonly bad
break of luck. Not a very old
timer" as the correspondent just
mentioned writes, her name was sub
sequently changed three times; from
the Leviathan to the Great Eastern,
then to the Great Ship, then back to
the Great Eastern. Whatever the
purpose of all this baptising may have
been, changing her name failed to
change her luck. In his op!iion,
she should have been called th4 Sea
Elephant, says our informant, for
that was what she was to her cwn-
ers. A coat of white paint might ap-
proximately have been added.
She was chiefly idle until 1865,
when she was employed for many
months laying the Atlantic cable.
In 1857 she was shifted to passen-
ger service again for the purpose of
carrying visitors to the Paris 'exposi-
ton. This scheme failed, like most
of the others.
From 1858 to 1874 she again en-
gagged in cable laying work. After
that she was laid up for good, fo1 the
simple reason that she cost less to
keep laid up than to keep going.

Austin's Body Mutilated.

Hampton, May 29.-The body OF
Richard Henry Austin, the negro VINO
on April 80 killed three prominent
citizens of this community, was hack
ed to pieces here early this morning
by a mob, the head cut off, fingers,
toes and other parts taken as SOU
venirs, and the mutilated carcass,
singed and hanged from a tree in
front of the court house.
Austin, who was shot and captured
in a Georgia swamp on Tuesday
night, died of his wounds while being
brought back to this place by Sherlft
Morris. The sheriff came on with the
negroes body, and arrived here
shortly after midnight. Men had
gathered from the surrounding coun-
try to await the arrival of the sheriff
and his wounded prisoner, of whom
When the officers arrived with the
body the mob wreaked it's rage and
vengeance on the dead.
There was no great disturbance.
The crowd simply took the body from
the sheriff, mutilated it horribly and
hung it to the tree. Portions OF the
body will be preserved for identltl-
cation purposes in behalf of claim
ants for; the rewards offered for the
negro's capture. The Governor, in
his proclamation of a reward offered
by the State, said the money would
be paid for Austin's body, lust so
there is enough of it to be recognized
as him.
There is great satisfaction through
out this and adjoining counties at
the capture and death of the despera-
do. who has been the object of dill
gent search for a month. Sheriff
Morris has made the capture of the
negro his whole thought and effort
and his success has been complete.
The chief portion of the reward,
amounting in all to $4,000, offered
for the body of Austin, will go to
Sheriff Morris, though others, it is
expected, will be entitled to some of
the money.

AUSTIN'S BODY BURIED.
Last Chapter Written in Series OF
Bloody Tragedies.

Hampton, May 3O.-The mutilated
body of Richard Henry Austin, which
had been hanging from the limb of an
oak tree in Hampton's beautiful
Court House square all day, was cut
down at 5 o'clock on yesterday after
noon, wrapped in sheet, placed in a
wooden box and taken in wagon to
Potter's Field, where it was buried.
The removal of this gruesome sight,
in the most prominent place in this
little city, where the gaze Of every
one would naturally turn, was well
come news to all the citizens, and
to-day they are all thankful that the
excitement has subsided and the last
chapter in the notorious career of the
desparado Austin has been written.

MINNESOTA JAG FARM.
Three Kind of Baths, But No Drugs
or Liquids Given.

A novel use for part of the saloon
license tax has been evolved by the
LEGISLATURE of Minnesota. This unique
plan is what will be known as Jag
farm" to which any person who has
been tagged" three times within
three years is eligible. Two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars has been
invested in the undertaking by the
State. The farm comprises 497 acres
of land under cultivation and this
will give employment to the inmates.
Facing Lake Wilmar, and at the
side of water tank with capacity
of $4,000 gallons, a hospital and cot
tages have been erected, equipped
with tub baths, shower baths, and
marble massage slabs in hydrother-
apeutic bathrooms. There the
water cure will be administered until
the patients learn to- like it. There
will be no drugs and no liquor. But
every influence will be extended to
make the individual realize that he
has manhood in him and that he is
capable of controlling himself.
AS a starter he will be boiled and
parboiled and rubbed and massaged
to get as much alcohol out of him as
possible. Then every time he feels
craving for drink he will be rushed
to the hydrotherapeutic bathroom
and put in a tub of water.-Frederick
