Hall Moore Had Unpleasant Ex "perlence at Wrightsvllle Yesterday. Mr. W. Hull Moore, bookkeeper for Messrs. W. K. Springer & Co , had a narrow escape from drowning in front of the AtlantlcYacht Club at Wrights-; ville Beach early yesterday afternoon. Mr. Moore with a number of other club members were turf-bathing when suddenly he found himself beyond his depth and too- far out to reach the shore again. He eried to Mr. J. D. Smith, who was also in bathing, that he was beyond his depth and Mr. Smith made an effort to swim out to him, but finding himself about exhausted, he shouted to Mr.V. Hall, another bather closer to the shore, to pass the word to those on the beach, which was quickly done. ' Janitor Williamson of the club quickly jumped In the life-boat kept on the baach and a request for a volunteer was promptly answered by Mr. John R. Hanby. After con siderable difficulty in launching the boat in the heavy surf, the rescuers, their boat half -swamped, reached Mr. Moore and gave him a life preserver. Finally he was gotten In the boat and brought ashore. He Was perfectly composed .and, though exhausted, walked to the club house from the beach. Another boat was launched by some fishermen, but the life boat hd already reached Mr. Moore in the meantime. The escape from drown ing was narrow, and Mr. Moora would doubtless .not like a repetition of the experience. Police Monotony Broken. There was no police court yesterday and no art eets-had been . made since Thursday morning until 4 40 . o'clock n the afternoon, when Nathan Han- kins, an old offender, started the bail to rolling. He was found drunk and tlown by Pol!cman Leon tteorge near Water and Market streets and no' wonder was expressed that he had been arrested when being searched, 13 cents were found on his person. About 5 o'clock Policeman J. W. En glish found Josh Cochran and. John Mack, both colored, fighting at Sev enth and Harnett streets. They were brought In to keep Nathan company and from then on the police patrol was kept busy responding to the regu lar Saturday night calls. venzestion at JaiTReiieved. The consisted condition at the county jail was relieved yesterday by the deportation of 13 colored women, nearly all under SO-day sentences from the Mayor's court. They n were taken by Bupt. Bhearin to the convict stockade, where they will be kept as prisoners and not as working convicts. By sending the women to Castle Hayne, several of the departments of the jail will be shifted around, making considerable room for more, still keep ing the races and sexes apart. PoBt Mortem Reveals Herrlble Details ef the Work of a Brute Victim's Sad ' Itery of Blasted Life Inquired for a Bible to Read. From the fact that the principal had repeatedly declared before death that her home was in Wilmington, N. 0., and that she had repented of her past life and desired to return home to her parents in this city, the Columbia murder mystery was widely discuss ed on the streets here yesterday - and there were, frequent .inquiries as to 'we1bST bF-NtiheVoman'fentity;' had been eatablished. Baffled by a mystery of such engaging proportions, it wis thought that the authorities in Columbia would have directed some of their Investigation to the supposed home of the young woman, but so far as can be learned no Inquiries have been made of the officers here and the identity of the woman has not yet been disclosed. Yesterday's Co lumbia State gave more of the horri ble details of the murder and express ed the opinion that some arrests would follow during the day, but none had been made late yesterday afternoon and the mystery -surrounding the death was veiled as heavy as on the day the body was discovered in the disreputable district under the circumstances related In this paper yesterday. However, it wss stated in Columbia yesterday afternoon tbat the police were working on several clues and ex pect to finally unravel the mystery, but they were keeping their counsel to themselves. It Is now conceded that the woman's name. Is Maude Allen and that she went to Columbia five weeks ago, In- ilead of five months, as previously re ported. Her age is given as between 25 and 30 years. jr The post mortem' examination con ducted Friday revealed a scalp wound at the top of .the right forehead and six scalp wounds on the back of the head, none fracturing the skull but each cutting the flesh to the bone; any one of them was sufficiently violent to cause concussion of the brain and render the woman unconscious. The woman's back and hips were beat to a jelly, at were her shins and arms; she was probably struck fifty , . violent blows. There were slight abrasions on the forehead, c nose and chin and the theory of the physicians Is that the l-.ck In the forehead was the first and tbat It knocked her to the floor In an unconscious condition; that her assail ant then stood over her with a heavy stick and belabored her. A Bible was found in the woman's room and several negroes testified that a few days before her death she came to them and asked for "something to read concerning the Lord." A colored woman said the Allen woman came to see her last Friday and asked her ' for "some religious reading." She then seemed to be de. spondent and was in tears. She said that this month a year ago she was- an honored member of a happy - family, was a Baptist Sunday school teacher and singer in the choir at home, which she said was 1,000 miles away. She said she knew her' mother would be glad to take her back home, but that she did not want to go on account of her two Bisters. " WRE6K PROVED FATAL. Among last night's arrivals was Mr. E. J.
