Straps ami Jacts. ? Mr. T. C. Campbell, representing the brothers of the late William Goebel, in the prosecution of the assassin of Mr. Goebel, was in Cincinnati last Monday, fresh from a conference with his associates held at Lexington. He said that so far as knowu the assassin would be arrested whenever a force of 3,000 armed men could be had to go a certain county in eastern Kentucky. He said further that the attorneys for the commonwealth claim + ?

He further said it included men who were officials prior to the late election and men who thought they became officials after the late election. ? Says a Pekin dispatch of the 19tb instant: The ascendency of the antiforeign party is becoming more pronounced daily. The Dowager Empress appears unable sufficiently to reward the officials who exhibit marked hostility to everything not Chinese. Hen Tung, probably tbe most bitter antiforeign official of the empire, has been decorated with the three-eyed peacock feather, which has never been conferred for 80 years; the notorious Li Peng Hing, who was dismissed from the governorship of Shan Tung on the German demand, has beep advanced to the first raDk, and the former Governor Yuh Sen, of Shan Tung, has been aDDointed covernor of the Shan Si district, a snub to the powers interested and likely to prejudice British interests in the province, as the powers believe his maladministration is the cause of the present state of affairs in Shan Tung. ? Congressman William P. Hepburn, of Iowa, who got a considerable part of bis education in a printing office, has introduced the following "prizefight" bill: "Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, That no picture or description of any prize-fight, or encounter of pugilists under whatever uame, or auy proposal or record of bettiug on the same, shall be transmitted in the mails of the United States or by any common carrier engaged in interstate commerce, whether in a uewspape: or periodical, or in any other form. That any person sending such matter or knowingly receiving such matter for transmission by mail or inter-state commerce, shall be punishable by imprisonment for not more than one year, at the discretion of the court, or by a fine not exceeding $1,000; Provided, that this act shall not apply to any persou not engaged in the preparation or sale of such prohibited newspaper, periodical or picture. ? Rep. Sulzer, of New York, made a somewhat sensational speech in the house last Tuesday in connection with a resolution that he had introduced calling upon the war department for information with regard to the nature and extent of the fortifications that Great Britain is erectiug upon the Canadian border. Mr. Sulzer said that our own administration is more British than the British administration itself. He said we had backed down iu the Alaska boundary matter, in the Philippine dispute, iu China and in the Nicaragua canal matter. Alrhough posing as our friend, Great Britain is erecting great fortificatiouson the Canadian border, within easy reach of many of our large cities, and by which she will be enabled to destroy millions of dollars worth of property for us withiu 4S hou'rs after a possible declaration of war. All this is clearly in violation of treaty conventions, and this government should be upon its guard. Mr. Sulzer's resolution was laid on the table by a vote of 110 to 97. ? Russia is reported to be massing troops at Odessa on the Black Sea, and the Baltimore American suggests by way of explanation : "It is just possible that the massing of troops at Odessa and near Herat are part of a general plan which embraces the conquest of Turkey and the release of Egypt from the British domination. Chickens come home to roost, and this may be one of them. It was a brilliant stroke for Great Britain to deprive Russia of the fruits of her victory over Turkey, and it will be no less brilliant for Russia to avenge the insult by driving the Euglish out of Egypt. The troops on the Afghan border would be a very necessary part of the enterprise. They would threaten British suprema cy in India, while the French and Russians were invading the dominions of the sultan. If such is the purpose of these two natious it probably will not be undertaken until late in the spring." It has been a subject of no little comment that Great Britain has sent so many troops to South Africa, A A L . A ) 1 ana me govern mem cms jusi ornereu 30,000 more to the scene of the uuequal war. There may be some inter esting developments a little later in another part of the coutiuent. ? The war department officials deny receutly published statements that General Otis' campaign is costing upward of 1,000 men every mouth. According to the official records, since the American occupation of the Philippines, June 1,1898, up to February 17, 1900, the date of the last official compilation, the actual mortality in the army in the Philippines was 65 officers and 1,460 men, a total of 1,525, or at the rate of 74 deaths a mouth. More details are contaiued in the report of Colonel Woodhull, chief surgeon of the Philippine army. His report, however, does not exteud beyond the end of the last calendar year. It shows that from the time American troops landed in Mauila up to December 1, 1899, the total number of deaths were 58 officers and 1,263 men. Of this number 42 officers aud 570 men died of violence aud 16 officers aud 693 men died of disease. Most of the deaths by violence occurred in battle. There were, however, 137 death from violence outside of actual hostilities. It is a singular fact that more thau onehalf of the latter class of deaths were caused by drowning. The total number of wounded without fatal result during the period covered by the re port, was 1,767. (flte \lorkrillc (Enquirer. YORKVILLE, S. C.: SATURDAY, MARCH 24,1900. ?

After all, the whole matter rests with the people along the rivers. If they give their representatives to understand that fish ways must be opened, then opened the fish ways will certainly be. ? Mr. N. G. Ellerbe, of Greenwood, who evidently expects to be a delegate in tbe State Democratic Nominating convention, has written a letter to Mr. N. G. Gonzales urging that gentleman to ullow tbe use of his name as a gu bernatorial candidate. Mr. Gonzales has replied protesting that be is not a man who is likely to bold any high elective office, principally for the reason that be has strong convictions and that be is unable to fetter bis tongue. "Nothing," he says, "but an unforseen emergency will ever call me to the public service in other than my present field." Mr. Ellerbe says that he will certainly nominate Mr. Gonzales. ? As the result of recent uprisings in China against American missionaries, it looks as if it is going to be necessary for the United States to make a u&val demonstration against some of the Chinese ports. The facts in the case have not been published so clearly in this country as to enable the American public to fully understand the situation ; but reports that come out from Washington iudicate that the state department regards the situation as rather serious. The press dispatches indicate that both Great Britain and Germany are interested and that both governments are quite willing to lend the assistance of their navies. There are indications of a desire on the purt of the Chinese to relapse iuto their former exclusiveuess, and this, the governments mentioned are not inclined to permit. MERE-MENTION. It is believed in Keutucky that a mulatto named Combs is the murderer of the late Win, Goebel, and that the Negro was hired by Kepublicau conspirators to do the deed. In ansivHr t.n ttl!pi?pd threats of the Boers to blow up the Johaunesburg mines, Secretary Chamberlain says that in such an event he will seize sufficient private properlj' to make good the loss. The Loud postal bill is ugain under discussion in the house and the probability is that it is going to pass. Cecil Rhodes has sailed for England from Capetown. The North Carolina sepreme court has rendered a decision upholding the legality of compulsory vaccination. Osman Pasha, remembered as the hero of Plevna aud conceded to be the greatest Turkish soldier of modern times, died in Constantinople on Tuesday. It is reported that Captain Leary, governor of Guam, is to be recalled. The reason is not definitely stated. The senate committee on naval affairs has agreed to report a bill to appropriate $3,000,000 for the construction of a cable from San Francisco to the Philippines by way of Hawaii and Guam. After the cable is completed coutrol of it is to be turned over to the postmaster general. Seuator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, in charge of the French treaty, is doing all he can to secure ratification without unnecessary delay. The Republican Convention. The State Republican convention met in Columbia last Tuesday, to elect four delegates to the National Republican convention. Twelve hours were spent in wrangling over merits of contesting delegations from five counties. Permanent organization was perfected near midnight. But a score of the 125 delegates were white men, and the temporary aud permanent officers were Negroes. The faction headed by E. A. Webster controlled the machinery aud the following slate was elected after a stubborn fight: DelegatesE. A. Webster and R. R. Tolbert, R. R. Smalls and E. H. Deas. The two latter are Negroes. Alternates, Abial Lathrop, S. T. Poiuier, R. E. Williams, A. S. Johnston. The convention adopted a platform embracing the principles of the Republican party as set forth at St. Louis in 1S9G. McKinley's administration was endorsed and Bryauism and Democracy denounced as meuaces to prosperity. The delegates were instructed to endorse McKinley. No steps were taken towards nominating a ticket for state offices. THE BROWN RE-UNION. An Interedtlng Gathering: Out at Beerithehu Last WedneHclay. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enaulrer. The seventy-eighth auniversary ol the birth of Mrs. Mary D. Brown was celebrated by a gathering of the fami iy at her home, near Beersheba, on Wednesday last, the 21st instant. Sixty years ago she came to this home, the girlish bride of Jackson Brown, and hus lived here continuously since. Her descendants now living, are 7 children, 44 granchildren and 20 great grandcbildreu. Of these, 51 were present to do honor to their venerated mother. There were present also, two sous and two daughters-inlaw, and some 10 or 12 of the neigh bors. Mr. J. R. Schorb was on baud with bis camera and made two pictures one consisting of Mrs. Brown, sitting like a patriarch of old, in the midst of her children of three generations; the other picture was takeu as the whole company were assembled at the dinner table?Mrs. Brown still being the central figure. All who partook of that table were of the opiuion that it was worthy of being immortalized in picture. It was suggestive of any thing else than a preceding year of drought and failure. After dinner the company divided iu groups, according to age or special congeniality, and discussed matters of interest to themselves respectively. Oue of Mrs. Browu's most positive characteristics is regard for religion, and this she has happily entailed upon the family. The occasion was, therefore, fittingly closed with religious ex ercises, conducted by ber pastor. These had reference chiefly to God's abundant goodness toward Mrs. Brown, during her long and useful life. When her strong couvictions, with a determined assertion of them, and the number and character of her descendants are taken into consideration, it can be safely said that no life spent in this community has exerted a greater influence. She has not lived in vain, but will leave "footprints on the sand of time." H. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Mills Raise Wages. .. The Sampson, Victor, Piedmont and Pelzer mills, of Greenville county, have announced their intention to raise the wages of their help. The Poe mill announced an increase to take effect from March 16. In the case of the other mills, the increase goes into effect on April 1. Consumptive Convicts. Says a Columbia dispatch : Governor MeSweeny has in the last few days visited the state penitentiary and has seen the convicts there, dying with that dread disease, consumption. The governor found the disease worse than he expected. The unfortunates, for whom there is no hope, whatever, have to be placed in the general ward with all other kiud of patieuts, thus menacing the health of the entire institution. The governor talked with each sufferer and ascertained that each had a home to which he could be sent if released. He was suprised to find that oue of the sufferers was a young white boy uuder 15 years. Charged With Running a Tiger. Mrs. Mattie A. Hughes is in more biiud tiger trouble, says a Greenville dispatch of Wednesday. Chief Constable Lafar, Deputy Sheriff Gilreatb and Patrolmen Tucker and Dawson raided her restaurant on Main street this afternoon, and other investigations revealed oue of the cleverest blind tiger equipments ever brought to light in this city. Nine quarts of contraband liquor were fouud. A trap was made into the wall and carefully concealed. A five-gallon can containing a quart cau was hauled out from beneath the floor. This can was filled by meaus of a funnel and was drawn from by means of a syphon. Six drinking glasses were also confiscated. But for a traitor in the camp the officers would never have found any liquor or evidence. Mrs. Hughes was not arrested, but a warrant was sworn out against her and she was summoued to appear before a magistrate. Monument to the Catuwbaa. Fort Mill Times: Iu Fort Mill's historic park much of virtue and patriotism has already been commemorated by enduring marble. But still another monument is to be erected therein. Captain S. E. White and Mr. J. M. Spratt, appreciativ and enterprising citizens, have determined to commemorate the faithful and lasting friendshin of the Catawba Indians to ward the white people of this couuty. The coutract for the erection of the monument bas been awarded a Chester sculptor, and the ceremony of uuveiling it will probably take place in connection with the annual memorial exercises of the local camp of Confederate veterans in May. The monumeut will be erected on suitable elevations, just to the rear of the Confederate soldiers' monument, will be 10 feet in height, and surmounted by a figure of au Iudian with drawu bow and arrow. On one side of the die will be represented in relief a buffalo in his wild independence; on the obverse side a representation of primitive life in the forests and on the other two sides inscriptions commemorative of the Catawbus' heroism aud good faith. Fire Near IMnevUIe. Says a l'iueville special of Wednesday to the Charlotte Observer: The barn of Mr. Willard Bailes, the marrying 'squire, was burned last night. It contained all bis farm provender, together with oue cow and one mule. The fire had made considerable progress before being discovered aud it was with great difficulty that the other live stock was saved. The fire was the work of an incendiary. Mr. Bailes had the barn partly insured. laOC wflLJ?'-'JtrC.^5. , INDKX TO NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J. M.

McKelvey continues uuabated, and Mr. McKelvey seems to be inexhaustible either physically or intellectually. In additiou to the double daily meetings in the Associate Reformed church, Mr. McKelvey lias conducted lhr?e noon meetings at the York Cotton mills. He would be on hand as the i REV. T. C. M'KELVEY. operatives would stop for dinner and conduct interesting services in the picker rooms. Oa account of these services, President Asbe and Superintendent Grimes have been extending the usual dinner interval 15 minutes. Upon call of Mr. McKelvey, at the Thursday night's meeting, about 15 people availed themselves of the offer of special prayer and expressed a desire to become Christians. Last oight's sermon was announced to be a special one to the young people on how to start in life. There will be but one service today, Saturday, and that will be at 3 o'clock. Tomorrow morning's service will be in the Associate Reformed church. Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be a gerenal service for the children in the Presbyterian church, and it is expected that the services will close with a union meeting, in the Presbyterian church, tomorrow night. It is quite possible, however, that the , services may be continued into next week. END OF THE "SPRINGS CASES." A decision rendered by the supreme court last Wednesday, affirming the court below, murks the end of what , have been known in this county for the past five years as the "Springs ; cases." The cases were three iu number, each involving the same issues. The plaintiffs were Mesrrs. J. B. Ross, G. C. Ormand and D. G. Miller, and the . defendants were Jones Blanton & Co. The action grew out of the construction of the Augusta division of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago railroad. The three plaintiffs were sub-contractors under Jones Blanton ' & Co., and the agreement was that they should be paid only in the event that Jones Blanton & Co. were paid. While the various sub-contractors were at work on their respective contracts, there developed a doubt as to the solvency of the railroad company, and all of the sub-contractors ceased operations. Subsequently the sub-contractors resumed work, as they afteiward alleged, upon the representation of Jones Blanton & Co., that money matters had beeu arranged and that 1 their pay would be forthcoming. They never got their pay and the suit was based upon this alleged representation on the part of the defendants. The suits were commenced in York couuty on February 28, 1895, this couuty being selected because of the residence here of Mr. B. D. Springs, one of the members of the company, and the natural desire, of course, to get the cases before home juries. The first case was that of Mr. J. B. Ross. It resulted in a mistrial. Another i trial resulted in a verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $2,500. Both sides were . dissatisfied and there followed a new trial. Previously the matter had gone . to the supreme court on an appeal from an order from Judge Wilherspoon requiring the plaintiffs to elect upon ' which one of the several causes of aci tion they proposed to stand. Afteri ward, it having become apparent that there was no probability of settling the issue before a jury, it was agreed to submit all questions of law and fact to Judge J. C. Klugb, who after due consideration decided everything in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed, and the settlement* of the case by the supreme court has just accurred as stated. The main issue in the case, it seems, was whether or not Jones Blant.on & Co. had sent certain letters or telegrams from Boston or New York, as alleged, stating that money matters had been arranged and that the sub contractors were safe to go on with the work. This was the point upon which the juries had stumbled, and Judge Klugh found that no such letters or telegrams had been sent. The original amount sued for in the three cases aggregated in the neighborhood of $75,000, and with about 10 years interest that would have had to be added, the aggregate amount that would have come from the defendants, bad they lost, would have been about $125,000. W. B. deLoach and W. B. McCaw represented the plaintiffs, aod Thos. F. McDow, Frank I. Osborne and C. E. Spencer represented the defendants. ^YORK'S RAILROAD STOCK. It was a puzzling proposition that the board of commissioners had to confront with regard to the sale of York county's stock in the Carolina and North Western railroad. It was a plain case of a leap into the dark, and the alternative was to hold on to ibe stock and take the chance of its becoming valueless or selling it for the small price that was offered as a certainty. Mr. Barber stated his position frankly. He wanted the stock, he said, only in order to facilitate the bonding of the railroad property so as to raise the money with which to change the gauge to the standard and to make other improvements. If York preferred to bold the stock and vote it in this direction, he would much prefer " A??nn/?nmonf HthoPwiaA If. SUULl a LI ai 1 augcuivuv, V?.uv? tr mw was desirable ibat be control tbe stock bimself, aud to tbat end he was williog to buy it. s/ ' After a canvassoif the situation, the commissioners decided tbat the best thing they could do was to sell. They could see no possibility that there would ever be a dividend, and the only question with them was tbe best price that Mr. Barber could possibly be induced to pay. They asked for $3.10; but Mr. Barber held out diplomatically for $2.50, and that price was finally accepted upon conditiou, as stated, that the road be converted into a standard gauge from Chester to Leuoir on or before January 1, 1901. The number of shares of stock owned by York county is 1,000 and the amount tbat will be received therefor will be $2,500. As will be noted from the advertisement elsewhere, Presideut Barber has already called a meeting of the stockholders for the purpose of considering the financial arrangements necessary to the improvements indicated. ABOUT PEOPLE. Mr. G. M. Lowrance has been down for several days with the grip. Captain \Y. B. Moore went down to Columbia last Wednesday on business.

Mr. Mackorell will move his family there next week and take charge of their business there, while Mr. Knight will devote his time to their business here. Mrs. T. M. Dobson returned from the northern markets Thursday night. It was her intention to announce the ; date of J. M. Heath & Co.'s millinery opening today ; but on account of a possible failure of goods to arrive on ! - ' - - _ 4. time, she prefers not to specuy uaies i until she can do so with more certainty.

He is now entirely out of pain, has a good i appetite, is steadily gaining in weight, j and is almost as buoyant in spirit as < when he enjoyed the best of health, i There really seems to be good reason < to hope that Mr. Riddle will soon be home agaio, io good health, aod when that event happens his own pleasure will be no greater than that of the hundreds of warm friends who are so anxious to bid him welcome. Spartanburg Herald : "Rev. R. G. Patrick, president of the Judson Female College, of Marion, Alabama, is in the city. Dr. Patrick is on a tour of inspection of various southern colleges < and their equipments and facilities with a view to adding buildings to his institution. He was shown through Converse College by Prof. Wilson yesterday afternoon and expressed himself as delighted with this great institution. Dr. Patrick is the son of Capt. * Patrick, who conducts a military insti tute at Anderson." Dr. Patrick will be remembered also as a former resident of Yorkville, during which time he was pastor of Yorkville and Union Baptist churches. WITHIN THE TOWN. Cotton is worth 9}. Rev. J. C. McKelvey conducted de- ? votional exercises at the graded school yesterday morning, and gave the children quite an impressive talk. The voting in the York Drug Store's bicycle contest started promptly on last Wednesday. The list now includes quite a number of candidates. For the benefit of the people attending the series of meetings there, In- ^ tendant Carroll, on Tuesday, had a number of electric lights strung along the sidewalk from Congress street, up East Madison to the Associate Reformed church. The act was a thoughtful one, and the church people appreciate it highly. T"* The regular work of the Yorkville graded school (white) has been serious- * ly interfered with during the past few weeks by roseola. The disease, though attacking only a few pupils at a time and operating slowly, has now been pretty nearly through the school, and everything is in good working order again. More than 75 per cent of the pupils have had roseola. ^ ^ Matilda Smith, prdbably better known as Matilda Latta, an aged servant of the Latta family, of Yorkville, died last Sunday, aged about 80 years. She was a typical oldtime servant? faithful, efficient, true?and one of the few Negroes who disregarded the emancipation proclamation. Having nursed and helped to raise all the children, she considered that she belonged to the family and remained in active service until old age robbed ber of her strength. During the last few years of her life, of course, her former owners have accorded to her every attention that her condition seemed to require. She died of old age. ? Although apparently content with their water plant just as it stands, the people of Yorkville will do well to realize that there is room for considerable improvement. In the flrst place, it was clearly demonstrated last summer that the water supply is not as great as it ought to be. Several times during the summer a water famine was imminent. Again, while there is no doubt of the fact that there are times during the year when the purity of this water supply comes up to all reasonable requirements, still no thoughtful citizen would be willing to hold that this condition obtains at all times. The character of the watershed from which the supply is drawn, and a contemplation of the results following rains, is sufficient to show the contrary. Abundant evidence is to be found in settlings in the bottom of the standpipe on periodical cleaning occasions. These are matters about which it is not wise for the people to deceive themselves. Common prudence demands improvement. The most practicable improvement that suggests itself is an artesian well. It is quite probable that such a well, capable of furnishing as much water as is now furnished by the branch, may be had at a cost equal to the value of the more than half a mile of six inch pipe between tbe reservoir and tbe standpipe. With an artesian well located somewhere along tbe main pipe line, the six inch pipe referred to may be used for extending the water system to localities where it will do more good. The improvements need not involve a considerable amount of expeuse ; but the outlay will be fully warranted from either a business or sanitary standpoint. NECESSITY OF POST MORTEMS. uTho.o ia u oPAHf. rippd." said a Yorkville physician to a reporter, a few days ago, "for a law that will enuble a physician to make a post mortem examination of a patient whenever he may deem the same to be desirable." "Although," he continued, "physicians are supposed to know everything, and they are often expected to be vested with Divine powers, as a matter of fact they do not know everything aud their powers are entirely human. It uot infrequently happens that a physician is called upou to attend a case that he is unable to properly diagnose. In this event, he must either call in other physicians or go on and do the best he cau on his own responsibility. Sometimes such a patient dies, and sometimes he gets well, leaving the physician or physicians as badly puzzled in the oue cuse as in the other. "If physicians were allowed to hold post mortem examinations when, in their opinion, the same are necessary and desirable, many of these mysteries might be cleared up to the great benefit of science and of suffering humanity. The principal trouble in the way is a strong sentiment on the part of relatives and friends of the ieceased, and this sentiment would o doubt continue to operate with affect even if the law should leave
