Vaughn, while under death sentence
for assault on several children, less
than IA years old, inmates Of the
home Of which he was superintend-
ert, escaped frofna the state hospital,
where he was under observation for
his sanity: He! went directly to Flor

assumed name OF Earle, as teacher,
being principal of the school at Port

was recognized on the streets OF
Tampa by a former Columbian, who

lima. Sheriff Heise Of Richland county
proceeded to Florida. but arrived af-
ter the prisoner had committed sui
eide, bringing the body back to Co.
lumbia, where it was positively lden-
titled.
When first arrested Vaughn made
several attempts to take his own life,
but was frustrated in each instance
and was at first confined in a straight
Jacket. He was soon afterwards, on
showing a return to sanity, placed in
a cell with several prisoners, under
arrest for murder, and on the morn

supposed to go. the rounds of the.
prisoners: for the, purpose Of shaving

ton and who went to Florida about
nine months after Vaughn's escape
and became his bride. According to
DR.. Williams, there is no evidence to
connect Miss Beamguard with the
escape of Vaughn and she will not
be brought back to South Carolina.

captured in Baltimore. He was found
guilty and sentenced to be electro

hospital in order that his sanity might
be established. He escaped from the
hospital about two years ago and has
since been in Florida, where he
taught school in several towns.

CITY COUNCIL Meets
IN REGULAR SESSION;
APPROPRIATION Up

An ordinance to limit the weight of
traffic passing over the Doran bridge
will be presented to the city council
when it meets in regular session
Monday evening. City Engineer Dell
Davis made a series of tests on the
bridge Monday with the intention of
making a report on its condition
Tuesday. For some time, according
to authorities, traffic over the bridge
has been exceeding the limits of
safety.
Two small appropriation ordinances
also are to come up, both from the
board Of works. One is for a $500
appropriation to cover miscellaneous
expenses at the city light plant. 1t
was requested by Supt J, P. Dillon.
Another was for expense money for
the city engineer and the fire chief in
order that they might attend national
conventions.
Considerable sentiment in favor of
these measures was manifest, their
supporters taking the view that the
education afforded the city officials in
this way meant money saved to the
city later on.

ASTRAKHAN, Russia, Oct. 5-Hope-
less groups of famine refugees crowd
the wharves of Astrakhan which in
happier times were filled with the
tides of commerce flowing to and from
Russia apd the trans-Caspian plains.
Bitter rains of autumn are falling al
most conrlnuaIly ana the first snow or
the Russian winter has whitened the
roofs of the buildings of the city, but
the throngs of emigrants have no shell
ter while they wait, perhaps vainly,
day and night for transportation to
the Kuban and Don regions, where
they can obtain food. Astrakhan is a
city of misery and suffering and death.
Terrible Contrast Noted.
The traveller who has seen Russia
and the Russians in times of plenty
may expect to meet with a rosy round
faced people when he again enters the
country Disullusionment is in store
for him, however, for everywhere he
sees thin fases, the skin of which is
seemingly stretched tight across the
cheekbones.
He remembers Astrakhan as a city
filled with industries and commerce,
but he finds it but a shadow of its for
mer self. Its caviar and fishing indus
| tries are estimated to have dWindled
nearly 10 percent Where once 1000
ships daily sailed up and down Moth
er Volga," there are now barely 100 on
! that stream.
| Death seems to dog the footsteps OF
the refugees. They are fleeing for
starvation, but many hungry children
and adults die from the first food they
| eat, the very bread they have striven
/ for proving fatal to them in their weak
ened condition.
| Meat or bread cost 5000 rubles, OF
about cents per pound, but there are
few who have money enough TO pay
! this price day after day.
! Disease Takes Its Toll.

ruin of astrakhan. Black typhus tool
