Manful efforts were made to separate the combatants. Both sergeants-at-arma forced their way through the thick of the fight, }>Ut fis fast as one group was pacified another came to blows.

The big gov­ ernment bar-room in Columbia is now In full operation, running twelve hours R day, and turning out on ah average from 12,- 000 to 15,000 flasks per day of whisky of various kinds, as well as gin and other liquors.

The building, a cut of which is given, is a large one, situated on Main street just a few yards from the State-house grounds. With the exception of a small office for the railroad commission and an agricultural journal, the building is wholly devoted to the State's whisky enterprise. The measure recently put in force was carried through by Governor Till­ man, and forbids the sale of liquor any­ where except in government dispensa­ ries and by persons appointed by the State, Ever sinco the law went into operation, it has met with bitter oppo­ sition especially from the liquor deal­ ers.

The dispeneary at Greenville, one of the largest in the State, has been closed by Judge Norton until the law's constitu­ tionality can be determined. The case will be heard in the Circuit Court, and if the law is here declared unconstitu­ tional, similar cases will be opened in all the eight Circuit Courts of the State. But affairs will still, probably, remain unsettled until the Supreme Court can pronounce on the matter. \ Although there has been less drunk­ enness and less liquor sMd in the State since July 1, yet, financially, the dis­ pensaries have been nearly failures, averaging only from $25 to $45 a day. A large brewing company sent some ale into the State the other day, which is also contrary to the dispensary law, in order to test its legality. Many saloons, are in operation on the quiet. The first arrest, made Saturday, under the new law, was that of an Italian, Vin­ cent Chico, of Charleston, for Bsllinjf beer last week. Three State constables and a dozen spies went to the man's house, searched it from garret to cellar, and confiscated not only liquor but ; almost everything else they could find. An angry crowd watched the proceedings. Several photograph­ ers were present, and the people cried for them to take pictures of the spies. The scene in tne police court was equally exciting. The crowd hissed the officers and Chico cursed them, and one drew a revolver against him. Many wealthy citizens offered to go bn.il for the, Italian to any amount. Other liquor dealers were subse­ quently arrested. Those are only the first of some forty or fifty cases of vio­ lation of the law which the constabu­ lary are now working up. THE SHEfeMAN LAW.

Ui,' * . A Springfield Jury Finds that He Is M Rick­ ety Dan" Benton, The famous suit, involving an alleged pension fraud that would swindle the Government out of $20,000 or more, has been decided at Springfield, 111., and Bill Newby is declared to be "Rickety Dan" Benton. The case is probably the most remarkable that has ever been tried in the United States. The object of tho trial was to determine the identity of a man who claims to be "Bill" Newbj, but who the Govern­ ment is sure is "Dan" Benton. Benton, if that is his name--and the jury says it is--was under criminal indictment for personating Newby in order to pro­ cure a pension from the Government. It seemn that Bill Newby was a soldier who was supposed fo;.' twenty-nine years to have been killed in battle. A short time ago the defendant in this trial put in an application for a pension, claiming that he was Bill Newby, anc. that, instead of being killed, he had been badly wounded in the head and leg and had been taken to Anderson- vine prison. There he was known as "Crazy Jack." When in course of time he was released, a demented, "rickety man, he says he became a wanderer and drifted about the country for a quarter of a century, beconfing an in­ mate of various poor-houses and of the Tennessee penitentiary. Then his rea­ son partially returned and he came to realize that he was Bill Newby. He wciii cat s«nong his old neighbors and declared himself. He recog­ nized old friends and talked in fuch a manner of old times that ie convinced many of them that he was really old Bill. It must be so, they urged, for notfbdy but Bill Newby would know things he spoke of. Some members of the Newby family, including his old wife, who had long been drawing a pension on his ac­ count, received him as genuine. Fi­ nally he himself made application for an original pension and then his trou­ bles commenced. An investigation of his case resulted in establishing his identity to the satisfaction of the gov­ ernment officials as "Rickety Dan" Benton and his arrest, indictment, trial and conviction followed. In opening the case ths Government commenced with Dan Benton as a child, after it had shown Bill Newby to be dead and buried. He is traced from White County, Hlinois, into Tennessee, where he and his mother were taken by one Andy Wooten. There Dan grew up. He was known to the people of the neighborhood, and so was his mother Lydia. Finally he was sent to the penitentiary at Nashville for horse stealing, and remained there for twelve years. He was Dan Benton, the son of Lydia Benton, and there was no other pretense. Thus it was until 1889, when he left the penitentiary. He was an inmate of many poorhouses in Tenneseee, Ohio, In­ diana and Illinois, both before and Blockade of Bangkok. There is trouble in the of the srhite elephant. According to late jable advices France has technically de- - clared war against Siam, and, if Eng­ land does not inter­ fere, the king of the little Asiatic country will in all ^ probability be com- jjSL pelled to witness Kft^the annexation of Sart of his king-om to French, do­ mains. The line of boundary is again KINO or SIAM. the cause of dis- fmte.. Hitherto a line of mountains ly-ng between the Mekong River and French Annam has been regarded as the western limit of French possession in: Asia, but the French it appears have revived an antiquated ana obsolete claim set up by the old kingdom of Cambodia, to which their possession in the eastern peninsula formerly belonged, their immediate object of course being to make the Mekong their western boundary, instead of the mountain range which formerly separ­ ated them from that river and its fei> tile ^ valley. If the Mekong was a straight river, the movement on the part of the French could not affect Siam in the least, however objection­ able French encroachments might prove to the English colonies on tho west of the Mekong, but, considering that further south after entering Siam proper the Mekong makes a detour east, thus forming in a rough triangle the Siamese province Luang Pruban, there is little wonder that the Eastern King looks on the establishment of thia MAP OF SIAM.

But he was not quite dead, and to make sure of his victim Arata shot him through the heart. The murderer was arrested and placed in jail. All day there had been murmurs, not only among the Grand Army men, but of the people in J general, regarding the brutal dead, i Many threats of lynching were heard, / A meeting of the unemployed men was called for the evening at 8 o'clock, at 18th and Market streets, where speeches where made deploring the f,v present stringency in the money mar- ket and the resultant idleness. When v;< the speakers were through a tall, gray• headed and whiskered veteran wearing ' the Grand Army uniform gOt upon the Stand and said: "Follow me." The %\ words were few, but everybody undei> yi stood what was meant, and 5,000 people W followed the leader to the county jail, if? fully a mile and a quarter distant. The crowd gained numbers in their long march, and before the jail was reached fully 10,000 were in line and people ^ were flocking in from every street, » most of them bent on seeing what was ^ going to be done. Arriving at the jail jj| the mob hesitated, for they had for- ? gotten to supply themselves with : sledges and other necessary tools for 1 •< breaking down the doors. Numerous * calls were made for battering rams, etc., and the eager crowd rushed hith- r er and thither and were not long ' , in procuring the objects wanted. Then 1 the real work began. The crowd at­ tacked two sides of the jail at once, those on the north side being the BMMfc determined. ^ ^ Battered Down tho Doors. 1 At this point Capt.

France then gave her ultimatum pressed forward to find the room occu- to Siam, demanding jurisdiction by Arata. They hunted through over both banks of the Mekong, the vast corridors for an hour before an indemnity of 3,000,000 francs, discovering the right cell, and then not including that claimed by private having no key they started to parties, and the right, as a guaranty of break the strong door.

In these he was registered as Dan Benton. The witnesses of the government testified to events which succeeded each other in perfect rota­ tion, while those of the defense left a gap of twenty-nine years. They all testified to the identity of the defen­ dant as Bill Newby, but in their de­ scriptions of how Bill Newby looked before the war they varied greatly. The most important witness for the de­ fense was William Cohoon, a soldier and a member of Company E, Fortieth Regiment. He became acquainted with Newby in the army, and on the 4th of April, two days before the bat­ tle of Shiloh, stood guard with him for twenty-four hours. While on guard he had a conversation with him which he had never repeated to anybody. After the reappearance of New­ by in 1891, the latter, without anything having been said to draw him out, talkea about that conversation. The witness was satisfied. defendant was Newby. Mrs. Newby, 96 years old, believes him her son, and two sisters and a brother testify that he is certainly Bill Newby. Newby, supposed to be dead, nijrver received his discharge from the service, and had he established his claim he would have been entitled to pay during all these years, amounting to about $22,000. The extreme penalty of the law for his offense is fifteen years in the penitentiary. Public sentiment is divided as to the correctness of the verdict and many are bitter in their denunciation of the jury. FRANTIC CHICAGOANS. Crowds of Moneyless Excursionists to Remain in Alllwaukee. More than 1,000 people were left on the docks at Milwaukee Sunday night who held return tickets when the ex­ cursion boats Christopher Columbus, City of Milwaukee, City of Toledo, and Arthur Orr left for Chicago. Each one of the steamers when they arrived was black with people. VeSselmen shuddered at the recklessness shown of human life. Following the boats came tho revenue cutter Andy Johnson. Captain Davis had received reports in Chicago of the way the steamers were loaded down, and he slipped his moor­ ings and stood down the lake after them. At Milwaukee the Johnson's men, when the Steamer returned compelled each to leave when itsfuU -f the indemnity and territory French minister retii jos aft* the blockade of Bangkok. at the time this is written the Siamese warshiptf- »wh Jnchored one mile from »Jier re crowded with men ready for ao- tion. Their intention is, in case the French commence hostilities, to steam down and ram the French gunboats, attempt to board them in force, and attack the crews with fixed bayonets. In the event of war being declared England, Russia and China may also become involved. The blockade of Siam would mean an immense loss to England's commerce, and the concession of the territory de­ manded by France would establish a French-British frontier in India-China and give France a clear entrance to Southern China, while cutting off China from Siam. The French pre­ tend to see in every move the hand of British intrigue, and while Great Brit­ ain has not yet interfered, there is lit­ tle doubt that she regards French ad­ jacency to her provinces in Upper Bur- mah with about the same degree of favor as has been evinced by the King of Siam on his own account.

THE engagement of Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews, and Miss Bessie Bacon, of Reading, Pa., is announced. THE jury at Fresno, Cal., in the case of Richard Heath, charged with the murder of E. II. McWhirter, was una­ ble to agree.

He was proceeding to spleak further when some one cried out: "Here comes the patrol." It was a false alarm, for the police, excepting those inside the jail, did not present themselves at any time, although the mob occupied three hours in getting their victim. The warning cry, however, had its effect, and the murderer was suddenly jerked off the earth in view of a mob that oc­ cupied the ground for blocks around. No sooner was he in the air than sev­ eral persons drew six-shooters and rid­ dled his body with bullets and then the lynchers dispersed. Arata's body waa cut down by the police and taken to the city morgue. PLEASURE-SEEKERS DROWN. A Yacht Ont of Salisbury, Md., Xs (Cap­ sized Daring a Sqnall. A yacht containing four yoi women and three men which sai from Salisbury, Md., was caught in a squall about dark aud capsized at the mouth of the Wicomico River.

The other two men, William Marshall and George Williams were! picked up in an exhausted oondition. If the women had not rushed to the wrcng side of the little yacht it would not have been overturned, it is said. The drowning women struggled with the men in the water. The boatman lost his life try­ ing to save them. Two of the girls clutched him around the neck w-nd arms. Marshall tried to pull one of the girls away, but failed, and the three went down together. The other two girls were found fldating with their arms clasped about each other, their bruited bodies and faces showing that they had made a desperate fight for life. How tho World Wags.
