Dr. Suith of Waids, who happened to be present at tbe time of the tragedy, pronounc ed life extinct in the wounded man in less than ten minutes, death resulting from an internal hemorrage. The weapon used was a 38 calibre; the bullet entering straight from the front. Trotter had been drinking, but the arresting officers say Mitchell was perfectly sober. He gave as an excuse for the shooting that Trotter continued to slap his face, after he had several times warned him to quit and after walking away from him Ey e witnesses say the two men aptvphtpH t.r? h? 1 stinc.

The Columbia R c rd says Eugene Simkins, colored, was shot and prot ably fatally woui.d;d lYu sdav morning by Dave Elam, al o colored. The affair occurred at a house, 1405 Lincoln street, occupied by Dr. Durham, colored, who was net present at the time. The twe negroes are relatives of the doctor, and were cn a visit to him. Both are from E'gefleld, having come to the city Tuesday. Exactly what led to tbe shooting is not clear. The two men were in a rcom in the house, and were drinking. A while man named Holland, als > appears to have been about. The first known of the affair was when Simkins was seen to come out of the hous?, go i to an alley running from the street and fall To those who saw him and went to his aislstance he said that Elam had shot him, though he did not think be intended to.

The statement is based on reports made by the bu resu's special agents in the field. No estimate is made of the total crrp for the year, but figures are given out concerning crops of former years. These figures show that up to this date 1 ? ifvn* 4-Ua r\t f.ha nrina hfl/1 1L1 IDUi, IUC (IIUUUUU U1 vu>> reached a total of 6.417.891 bales, out of a total of 13 693,279 bales for the year.

Today'8 report covered 26.374 ginneries and the statements upon which it was prepared were supplied by telegraph by 702 speolal agents in the field, most of them representing one county each. The fact that the bulletin was not issued until 2 o'clock, two hours after the usual time, caused some complaint frcm brokers in different cities, anc* some of these which reached the bu reau before the document was given to the public, were of a sensational character.

Inspectors Imports. Dispensary inspectors hereafter ac cording to an order istusd by Commlsloner Tatum a short time ago, must be prepared to swear to the accuracy of their report on each dispensary checked up. This order is the result of the dscovery that many shortages occur by the use < f dumm'-is or half I empty cas3s that have baen checked by inspectors as full oases. Mr* Ta turn said to day that after the shortage in Charleston and a recent one in a town in the upper part of the state ne was con virc:d that the Inspection heretofore has i^een to perfunctory. He fHarnoftrprt t.hafc cases SUDDOSed tO be full could contain only one half the number of bottles or be entirely empty. This happened Bome time ago with a dispenser In Fairfield county. All in spectors wQre then notified that every box must be inspected and the inspec tor absolutely satisfied tbat tbe seals had not been broken. Burned in ? Hotel. At Hot Spring, Ark , six bodies were taken on Thursday from the ruins of tbe Railroad Hotel, corner of E:m and O lva streets, which was gutted by fi e. Two are uaidentifiad, cnarrei bejond recognition. The dead are: Harry Bradley, a waiter; Elward Snyder, a po.ter; Mrs. Mack, a musician; A L. Macn a railroad conductor, beli.vad to be from Denver, Col., and the t*o unknown men. There may be other bodies In tbe ruins. The hotel was a two story fraxe building, containing thirty rooms, all but one of which were occupied by from one to four persons. It was patronized by invalids and cripple?, who were under treatment. The fire is oelievea to bave been caused by an exploding lamp. There was only one narrow exit, tbat being a stairway, and dtz;m were c.impellei to jump from the seoond story. One man, Fred Overson, of Hot Springs, was probably fatally injured. Cruel Science. Now cDmes Dr. Valentine Malpasss, i of Paris, who says it is dargerous to shake hands on account of microbes Oaly the other day another crlebrated physician announced that klsaiog is dangerous for the same reason. If these scientific doctors dent let up they will destroy all the pleasure of 1 courtship. Just think of courting a good looking girl with kissing and playing hands eliminated! J f* TALE OF THE SEA. Details of Wreck of Schooner Van Name and King. LEFT CHARLESTOM On the Third Dav of October and Was Wrecked Two Days Later Off i Cape Lookout. Two Sailors, Who Were Saved, Tell a Horaibl; Tale. I Clinging to a piece cf wreckage with the fast falling strength of their ( weakened bodies whloh had knowD no nourishment for five days, their throats tAim* with a thirst of fire, . their turning eyes blinded by the salt of the sea, and their minds tortured t by the memories of the self destruction of their hunger maddened ship j mates, William Thomas, aged 29 ana vrunam tii. warner, aiso zv, uotu colored and members of the c ew cf the three-masted sahooner Vanname and King, were picked up off Cape | Lookout, after beiag five days adrift on a raft, by the Stillman F. Kelly, a < schooner which arrived at Boston < some days after being wrecked. i The Boston Globe says such a tale < as these man told is unparalleled in < fiction. 4 "No sturdier craft had clear ( "d the port '! Charleston that day and no happier crew had set sail with | prospects of a brighter voyage than , when the Vanname and Knfr; Capt | William A. Maxwell, lumber loaded | and bound for New York, hoisted her < oanvan to the fresh blowing bre< z oc ' Tuesday, October 3, aod headed ( uueauwaiu. \ The schooner was speeding along under fall sail when on T -ursday i inorning, October 5, the first signs of ( au approaching storm wore noticed. , Next day at daylight It looked pretty ( black, blacker than a sailor likes tc 333 it, and tbere was an utrccmforta ? ble feeling amorg the efflaers and men which ncne trie, d to conceal. < "Brirg her down io short sail," the I ".pv^iu o liowed, and this was done. < a uolae like tbe turstiug of a tu^e ioda tauk fell upon their ears with ; the splash of a tremendous wave. 1 "To the pumps, all hands, and | quickly toe!'' The voloe of tbe cap i tain was drowned in tbe tumult of < wind a-d water, but each man under j stood and jumped to his post. Tbe struggle was ucccasing until t tbe oraft wa? caught in the trough of s the sea, and hove on har beam ends ( Tbe life boats were swept away 5 though they bad never been. ] No word of command was needed for these men for each made for a | hold on tbe "weather side," that part i wblch was out of the water. Tbe < grips of tbe eight pairs of stout haids ( were nothing in the face of the gale, for the next wave loosened every ( man's hold and swept one poor fellow, ; William Grizzell, into the fiocd. i "Here's my knife," said the cap tain, ''out yourself a rope from the . halliards and make yourself fast to 1 rigging. It was with difficulty that j the shiny, bit of steel was banded < from man to man, but no oue faltered | and each cut himself a line and lashed j himself to tbe stanch spars. I Night came and went, and not a man dared loose his hold. Prayers , and curses, grim jokes and tender . words of encouragement, but no o: e i stirred. That afternoon when hoi e i bad vanished from every heart, thei e i oame another wave bigger an^ greater , than all others, and the scheoner was < dashed to pieces. The lumber tbat had filled the craft ] floated, and made support for the , men, but only one portion of the deck j about 10 fee* square, was really enough for a raft. One of the sailors, Alfred Arthur, hose leg bad been broken in three plaoes, had thrown nlmself upon this, and for four hours the otherj floundered about in tbe water u jtil they floally reached hi6 side. Then came the voyage of sickening terror, the maniacal demands for water and food from those whose minds had left tbem under its terrible strair; tbe groundless hope} of men who could not believe tbat their life was to be taken from them. "It was awful, awful" said Warner as he looked across tbe mess table to Thomas, whose eyes answered with a gleam that was half of Badness and naif of well rem mbered agoDy. Both these men are the specimens of the best type cf the British West Indies colored men. They are natives of Antigua, British West Indies have roftAfvnrt a fair prliination, know how to express themselves clearly and show that when In the full possession of their faculties they are as husky as the huskiest of sillors. "Thestorm began," Warner con tinuad, "Thursday morning, but it was Friday night that the schooner began to leak so badly that all hands became alarmed. "Toe ciptain called the engineer to him about 10 that night, and said, 'You'll have to work the elcctric DumDs.'when the encineer said. 'It's ao use cap'o; the engine room is ful. of water.' 1'At midnight the captain decided to run her fore the sea to ease up the strain. We hadn't taken that course long before the schooner was hove on tier bram ends. There wasn't anything to do but make for the weather aide and we all did. "No sooner had we got there than there oame a wave which washed over board one of the seamen, William Grizzall. Then the oaptain told us each to take his knife and cub a rope and lash ourselves to the rigging. We did and there we hung until the next afternoon, I think we were aft Cape L jokout when first the hurricane btiuck us and in all were floated 100 miles before they picked us up. "Saturday, and as near as I can flgure it it was about 3 30 p. m., the schooner started to break up and turn turtle. We had to get clear and swim for cur lives. "A good deal of the lumber we car \ ried and parts of the deck were floating around. Alfred Arthur had broken one of his legs in three places, but had made out to get onto a good sized piece of the deck. I could see him although the storm hadn't let up a bit since it started. "F.ir four hours we were in the water. all trying to get to Arthur. We did Anally pull ourselves onto a nit,, you might call it that, only to And po r Arthur dying. "Tnat night as he lay in the lap of Thorn is, Arthur breathed his last, tie moaned for water until the end. We kept the body with u* for an hour or so, but it mads us feel a good dea1 worse and then we felt that we ought to lower it overboard. We didn't ( bave to, though, for another heavy sea lifted it into the ocean for ui. "At noon Sunday it bad calmed. We began to feel a little hrighter then, for we could see some distance iway a four masked schooner and a steamship going S)uth and a bark UUlbU. "'Hail, for God's sake,' si'd the captain, and we all did our best. " 'Tain't no use capn, said I, after [ bad fhcuLed till I cculd scarcely jpeak; 'they don't see us.' " "No, no,' he yelled at me. 'Keep i sharpar lookout; they must see us ' [ took a look at his face. I could see In his eyes he was stark mad. "Then the oaptain said, as he se?z3d ne with an awful grip on the arm, 'you must get some water, Warner. Aye ayp, sir,' says I, tut I didn't inow where it was oomlDg from. "1 don't know whether the Lord lent It not, bnt that minute a rain ;loud came j lstover bead and a shew- ? )r descended. I held a sou'wester to )atch what water we could and got snough for everybody to* take a big Irlnk. "That Sunday night the sea got ilgh again. The mate, ?. A. Chase, vho hadn't said much all this time, ooked at all of us Id a queer way, ( jhen before we could raise a hand to 1 itop him, he plunged Into the water. j rbere was a trail of sharks that I sou'.d see all around us, and I knew 1 jbat poor Ohase fell into tbeir j iws. 1 ''We stood looking at the place where Chase went down when tbe < :aptain turned to me in a strange 1 vay and said, "Warner you've got my 1 (Thistle.' " 'N:>, sir,' says I, as respsctlfully is I could. "Nonsense' says be. 'I want it. I ;an see my father. He's calling me. I nust answer him. Qiick, give me ;hat whistle.' "Poor men, his mind had left him iltogether. "See. Warner,' says he there's my father; he wants me, he's lolding out tils arms for me to com? ;o him. Liok, look.' Then tue ?ptain jumped overboard. God help lim. "We were all suffering the utmost jortures that Sunday night when the iteward, he was a colored man and I lon't know hi3 Dame, jumped up and "Thoro'o lanrt T RP.ft luyuuwu) auv*w w ??mv?j ?. on. i and.' "Poor lello w, his mind had gone, joo. He talked all night aud said we were drifting out to sea when we )ught to be making land. He said we were cazy and didn't know what we were doing. He shouted and called ill night. When the dawn broke the iteward swore again that the land was close by. "'I'm a good swimmer,' said tbe iteward. I'll make It before any of you,' and over he jumped. That was ilout 4 o'olcc'r Monday morning. I watched the water and I saw the life preserver tbe steward bad been wear ing floating along. I was sure then &hat tbe sharks had got him. "Tbe engineer?he was a German wd I never heard him called by name ?be was delirious and called all tbe time for food and water. He wanted 50 lie down, but Thomas and I kept talking to him and saying, ' Be of ;ood cheer, somebody will pick ua up pet.' "There he lay, his body beccmlng more rigid every minute. At 11 o'clock, as well as I can figure, he died in my arms. < "At daybreak Tuesday, October 10, ; it was calm, but there was nothing in 1 sight. Thomas pulled a buckle off 1 bis suspenders and made it into a kind of book.' He tbhed for a long J time and finally oaugbt a couple of fishes, little ones. He ate one and I the fiber. They tasted pretty good, 1 but i nat was not much nourishment. 1 "Tnrm&s was baglnning to weaken, 1 when I said: 'Let me tell you of a ( dream I had last night. I dreamed that a lady came to me on a steam 1 boat and toid me that we should both be brought into New York safely. I had not finished when he saw the Stillman F. Killy. I waved ard 1 waved, and then I broke down and cried when I saw her answering our signal. Poor Thomas was pretty far goDe, They had to lift him aboard the schooner." The Vanname and King was a three-master, 160.5 feet long, 36.5 feet beam, 16 6 feet depth of hold net tonnage 626 and gross tonnage 735. She was built at Fair Haven, Conn., io 1866, and owned by Vanname and King, of Naw Haven, from which port she hailed. She was valued at $18,000. A Little Boy Killed. The Columbia Record says Hilkon Sims, a white boy about ten years old was shot and instantly killed thismor ning. A little negro boy, Hal Gordon about nine years old is responsible for his death. Yjung Sims, with O car Forde and Alvin Sims about the same age were in woods near Benedict institute. They had with them a single barrel shot gun. Some of the boys bad sling shots, and tliey all laid aside the gun and were shooting at birds with their slings. While they were engaged in this the little unanH ha.7an hanrlllnc UCK1U vauio uy MMV* ?w?-?0 the gun, the other boys not noticing him. Suddenly! the gun fired, and shot from it penetrated young Sims chest, striklrg the heart and killiDg him instantly. The otter boys 1mm* cdiatly alarmed the neighburhood, but nothing could be done for the unfortunate boy. It is presumed that the killing was purely from carelessness and ignorance on the part of the little negro. The coroner was duly notified. The dead boy was the son of Mr. Jactt aims, wno is empjujeu au Southern railway shops, and who lives in the earstero subuibi on the Two Notch road. . v; - ; .-ry_END OF TOUR.

DAYS OF PIRACY Are Fot Passed Tet iccordtog to Etw York Police. q A Small Sloop Captured Wbieb i Made Business of Robbery Along The Atlantic Coast for Years. A " A dispatch from Newport, E.
