J;, ;,, To th Editor of Th Observer: ' la your tasua of, Aug. Mill appear en artle headed, "A Reply to Mr. Keeaier,'? and signed "Elizabeth Col lego Co., by C, A. Mlaenhelmer, sec retary.. In which an effort U make ' to show that the said college la not ' responsible for the fact that the re . port of the several experts aa to the recent epidemic of typhoid fever at . Elisabeth Colter have never been published In our city papers, or In circular or pa triplet form. ' Now, who sent for the experts? Waa It not at the mole Instance of KItzabeth College? The water com mimton declined to have any official connection therewith, for the very rood reason that there was no apl-t'-n-ilc'of fever In the city, and com ) . i mum told them that the city wa ter could havs no part in causing , to trouble at the college in the ilm . plo'fact that If the water caused the -Klfinbeth outbreak,' It must, necoa aarlly, have produced somewhat slm llart results at the Presbyterian Col - , leva, where there were more boarding , pupils using the same water supply, V" to 'ajr nothing of a general Infection . f th city, which would hay been : Inert table. As to how well founded v.-thill' judgment of the water rommls- :- sdotMrs proved to be, refren-e Is made to the expert's reports, and to the -conditions which havn existed In the (clty since Elisabeth's troubles be ; 'gan, " ' Lft me say. Just here, that while . i lh4 water commlaslon had no official - . connection with this .investigation, It .'; ' . promptly submitted to thowe experts, 't"1. IirAnderson of Washington, and Mr. . Lock, of Boston, all data In Its pos ' t amotion, including the various analvsea of the city water, as furnished by four - ; biologists and chemists, and aided .' them in every way possible to get a . - thorough knowledge of the condition of the water shed and of all matters pertaining to the city water supply. Elisabeth College, therefore, having sent for the" experts, the cxamlna ... Hons having been made for the ben- 'v'i'Bt of the college, the several reports . baring been sent to its representa tive, and to them alone, so far as . ' Charlotte Is concerned, their posses- slon, from first to last, that of the college, aa It is to-day. pray tell me, Mr; Secretary why they were not given V ' to an anxiously waiting public? The , 'daily papera had stated that the e ' parts were coming. The public was . L advised that they were here, and. later, that they had gone, but would . report soon. Had you not crented " f public anxiety and raised public ex- , pectancy to the highest pitch? Thus '. ' far you had taken the public Into your ' confidence. . ;. The reports came, three of thc-m, , .-Ur. r Anderson's, Mr. Locke's and Ir. , ' ; Lewis'. Did you publish sny on of V'; them in a Charlotte paper? No. You "'. did publish. In a pamphlet form. how. V over, lit. Anderson's report with some -.curtailment, and, us you are pleased . V - to term them, Mr. Lork and lr. ' Lewis' coinciding conclusions. Why ' was) Mr. Locke's report so treated? Haifa a water and sewer expert of " Boston, and, assuredly, an Intelligent man, besides an eminent authority In th'Very line in question. I say, again, that If there Is any Obligation to this city from which ' much Of the patronage of I his most excellent seminary must and should " come, as to the publication of these several reports, without curtailment - or abridgment, and surely there. Is. . ' r then there Is no escape for the col k lege, and It is up to Its representa 't.'v tiros to give, not the conclusions 1 ' Simply of any one of them or of your J selves, the water commission, or any one else, but the detailed reports, one . X and all, to the people, that they may read and know, and judge for them fl ' selves as to who should bear the bur ' - den aa determined by your experts, ,' and not those of the water coinmls , aion. I fell Into no error by my absence from the city, imt Kllzabeth College Company fell Into error In stilting that the reports "were as received by US promtply placed at the disposal of . V': his homr, th msyor, the head of the , health boards and of the members of , v th water board." The mayor In ' forms me that Ir. Anerfin's report Was sent to hlra. for perusal and In- formation only. Rnd that hr wns dls tlnctly Informed that It w as private 'property. nl tnust be promptly re turned.

The mayor slates tlisl In the J soma Interview lie stated to President King lhat he thought the insiter I ' should be mad" public as It would b educations!, and thus a great help j : . to the public. H- slso stntes that i ' i th rsport of Mr. f.ocke was never at j any time placed In Ills hnnds. and I .''-can testify that at the first meeting . 'Of tho water commission, sfter my re- I 'turn to the city, we liuil considerable .difficulty In finding the l hr report at ',, all remained In session for hours, a ', :part of which time awaiting result ' of our diligent sesnh for same.

And If they wre true. does that put the burden of publlca- Hon on the water commission? By no means, and no one Is better a war of that fu't lhat tho college ' representatives. M Th article above mentioned la again , grosaly In error In assuming that any member of the water board i baa,' at any time, been In favor of . sappresslng a single line contained In any m of Hi three reports. They ' wera th property of the college, ' treated aa auch by Its agents, treated aa such by It experts themselves, - treated a such by the water commis sion, and all other city oftVlnls. I believe, unless thre are reasons different from any I have conceived, that these reports, in every detail. Should toe published In the dally pa- ' per. I believe th public Is entitled to them. -1 believe on of the grav est mistake the. college authorities hav mad la In their failure to mak them fully known, and It Is not too la t.-' ' ,'," Uon't ahlft your burden lo other shoulder.

Bessie Clark and Carrie Cope-land.--women of a kind, live at 605 South Davidson street. For several years the name of Henry Hayman has been coupled with that of Bessie Clark; they have been associates In Immorality. Hayman played tho de voted lover until hs woman became III, nearly a year ago, and had to un dergo a dangeroua operation and lie in a hospital for a long time. In her extremity Ucaale Clark was deaerted; she had not the comfort of her for mer friend. Carrie Copeland wai about the only one who etuck to her. Days, weeks and months passod be fore the woman waa able to return to her home. For many weeka she hung between life and death, and her former companions did not believe that she would ewr recover. Hut gradually she began to recuperate and was on the way to complete re covery. Friday night about 12 o'clock Hay man returned from a visit to New York and went immediately to tho Clark house, where he found hla wo man 111. He flew into a passion be cause she would not submit to his embraces, Jumped upon her prostrate form and beat her cruelly, hammer ing her In the stomach knees and ' battering her with his face with his fists, breaking her nose and bruis ing her cheeks. The blood flowed freely. Tho Copeland woman ran In to the room and stopped him. A doc tor was summoned and all day yester day the Clark woman was In a criti cal condition. Bhe suffered from in- ternal hemorrhages and It is feared that the may die. Hayman left the house and went to the home of Squire J. W. Cobb to sub mit. He was required lo give a bond of 125 on his own statement. The attack on the woman caused considerable Indignation yesterday. If she should die It would go hard with her assailant. Her. lr.

Tha agree ment was murder In the second o grae. Judge "Ferguson gavo him sev en years at hard labor. Tho sentence must have made the prisoner and every man In tho room admire th judge. He said In senti ment: "Things like this make It hard for a man to know Just what to do. When men accidentally fall Into troublo aa all are liable to do, they deserve sympathy and generally, re ceive it. Rut If a man begins his course wrong. It acems that our law makers have agreed that there I but one way to correct the evil and that to 'punish the person committing It. I do not like to lecture convicted men and . rarely do It My sense of fairness .allows me to do nothing of the kind without giving tho other man a chance to talk back. We hear that the way of tho negro is hard and especially ao In the East. But during my three years and a half on the bench, I have found that he receives generally the sympathy of those people. Hor In the South I the only place In. Qod'a green earth that he does get sympathy, because our people understand him. In the court room, 1 see white and colored people both Interested here and they are perfectly friendly. The best way for you colored people to train your children Is to teach them that only In right living can they hope to re tain that friendship and sympathy." There was another homicide case In which John Brooks aubmitted to manslaughter and Was given It months on the ronds for the killing of F.d Hampton. Tho accident, for such It was. came from tho careless handftng of a gun In which there was evidence that both boys had rtared each other to shoot. Both of these colored men serving- terms for killing men were of a rather better element than those who habitually commit crime. Goes West to Live.
