They Were Taken To Charleston by a
Guard of Three.
The four suspected safe crackers left
this mormning for Charleston in the
custody of Deputy Marshal Vance
Scoggin, Sergeant H. W. Jetton and
Mr. Z. T. Smith.
The men were lined up at the South
ern s station this morning at 8
o clock and shortly thereafter, they
were put aboard the train for Colum
bia. Lang said that Sheriff Wallace
had been good to him and his partners
and for this he was very much obliged
Wednesday evening when the four
men were taken back to jail, after the
preliminary hearing before Commis
sioner Maxwell, Sheriff Wallace sur
mised that money had been given the I
TVinn niil. 4-1 .... I
men mine uiey were in the court
room. Fearing that they might use it
m oiuer to make their escape, he in
stituted a search. He went through the
mens ciunies out no money could be
found. Finally, Rogers spoke up and
bam :
"Lang give the sheriff that money.
He will buy anything we may want
Fork it over. What you want to keep
it for?"
With this said, Lang ran his finger
m his mouth and pulled out a $10 bill
and two $5 bills. These, he handed
over to the sheriff.
During the men's incarceration in
the Mecklenburg jail, they have lived
Avell. The jail fare, while suit
able for the pnpral run
prisoners, was not good enough
for them. They kept Sheriff
Wallace and his deputies busy pur
chasing good things to eat, and cigars.
They smoked the best cigars and made
themselves easy.
When a stranger would go into the
jail, all four of the men would make a
dive for their cells. If they could re
member the face of the stranger, they
would come out into the jail corridor
and converse with him. But if any
stange man happened down at the jail,
the men would make a break.
None of the four could look any one
straight in the face. All had a hang
dog expression.
Sheriff Wallace is glad, exceedingly
glad the four men have taken their
departure. He was just the least un
easy all the time they were in his care.
Men tnat handle nitro-glycerme and
all kinds of deadly explosives, Sheriff
Wallace had rather not have anything
to do with them.

Madrid, March 13. As a result of
complaints made recently by Spanish
bankers, government agents have dis
covered a gigantic counterfeiting
scheme, backed by powerful influences.
Spurious coin for the most part sil

Spain. It is estimated that fully twelve
millions of pesetas are already in cir
culation, coined for the most part in
Seville.
The coins are perfectly made and
contain more silver than Spain's legal
tender. Despite this it is stated the op
erators made an average of thirty per
cent on the scheme.

With Only 21 Working Days In Feb
ruary, 5,000,000 Tons Mined.
Philadelphia, March 13 The prelim
inary estimate of the production of an
thracite coal in February is more than
5,000,000 tons. This is far above expec
tations, as the month had but 21
working days, and there was a consid
erable period of unfavorable weather.
Notwithstanding the drawback the
output of coal was the heaviest in the
history of the anthracite trade. In Jan
uary the production was 5,900,000 tons
in 26 working days, which was the
best previous record. Except the two
months of this year there have been
very few months in which mere than
5,000,000 tons were produced.
The mines have been working full
time this month, and if there is no
mishap March will make a new record.
The supply of coal still exceeds the im
mediate demand and the trade i3 dull.
Animal Crushed Farmer's Ankle and

two large horses. Suddenly the animal
on the upper side bit at his companion
and in doing so slipped to the ground.
As Mr. Burford ran forward the fallen
horse seized him by the ankle. Raising
to its front feet and retaining a vise
like grip on Mr. Buford, the animal
shook him in the air as if he had been
a piece of cloth. The horse's powerful
jaws crushed the bones of Mr. Bu
ford's ankle.

Ex-Chief of Police W. S. Orr arrested
a young negro boy named Claude In
gram jesterday afternoon and landed
him in the county jail suspected of the,
