Orr , died at his home in Oconee County on Thursday, 9th instant, after a lingering ill? ness. For many years he had been a great sufferer from tbe effects of a sorlous hurt on one of his bands received years ago. The hand was amputated laut sum* mer in tbe hope of giving him permanent relief, but the old wound broke out again on his arm which caused his death. He was a native of Anderson County, but bad resided in this County the greater part of his life. He was an upright citizen and honest man, enjoying the respect and con? fidence of ah who knew him." Willie, the eldest son of Mr. W. D. Brown, of this city, met with an unfortu? nate accident last Friday afternoon whereby he lost. tbe third finger of his right hand. Willie and another little boy were at the wood pile. The latter had an axe and was.attempting to cut a stick which Willie was holding. As the axe was raised Y\ lllie moved his hsud and in a twinkling the axe fell, completely sever? ing tbe finger at tbe middle joint and badly cutting the second finger. Willie and his companion at once came over in town and soon fonod Dr. Nurdin, who dressed the wounded hand. A small piece of the bone had to be umputated and Willie went through the operation like a brave soldier. Indeed, it was remarkable how bravely he stood the accident and bore the pain. The little fellow is doing well and will soon have the use of his band again. It is not often tbat tbe people of any city have tbe opportunity and pleasure of enjoying such a literary feast as tbat pre sen ted to an Anderson audience in the .Opera House last Monday evening by ex Gov. "Bob." Taylor, of Teunes*ee, iu his famous 'lecture, "The Fiddle and tbe Bow." The lecturer was appropriately in? troduced by Hon. ?. B Murray, who spoke of the pleasure it gave bim to do so, and said Anderson was to be congratu? lated, as this was the first time the distin? guished lecturer bad ever visited South Carolina and our city was the only place In the State he would visit on this tour. When* the lecturer stepped forward he was greeted with applause, and at once his handsome face and figure riveted the attention and won the admiration of every one of his auditors. He occupied tbe ros? trum about one hour and thirty minutes, but every person present was no deeply interested and had been so highly enter tained, it was deeply regretted when he closed. The subjects of tbe lecture were varied, as well as instructive and im? pressive, and his delivery and gestures were as perfect and graceful as they possi? bly could be. His matchless eloquence, sparkling wit, deep pathos and beautiful word pictures were sufficient to iuspire any man, bring a smile to the cheek of him who never laughed before, tears to tbe eyes of- him who never shed a tear, and make a *last:ng impression npon the mind of every individual under the bear? ing of bis musical voice. Gov. Tuylor has certainly not missed bis calling In taking the lecture field. Our people would be delighted to have him visit Anderson a^ain in tbe near future. At the Bar of Justice. On Wednesday morning of lust week the first case called for trial was that of tbe State vs. Keels Cummings, Joseph Weston and Ged Jackson, murder and accessories before the fact, tbe two last named being charged as accessories. Messrs. Murray dc Watkins and Tribble & Prince were employed to defend the ac? cused. Mr. H. H. Blease assisted the So? licitor. The following Jury was impan? elled to try the facts: ?. F. Reed, Fore? man, P. M. Whitfield, James C. Ellison, John M. Gambreil, H. P.'McDaniel, P. B. Langs ton, J. K. Clement, Austin W. Clement, Thos. E. Watkins, E. C. Pruitt, Rnfus Fant, E. W. Brown. Each side put up ten witness. The case was not finished until Thursday, when the Jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter as to Cummings aud not guilty as to tbe others after a short deliberation. Cummings pas thereupon sentenced to a term of seven years at hard labor In the Peniten? tiary. The defendants were young col? ored men end were charged with killing Oscar Yeung, a young white man, in the upper part of the County last August. Three young colored men, Charley Richardson, E. J. Williams and David Burton, were then put on trial for assault? ing with intent to ravish a young white woman, Miss Lulu Gosnell, at Piedmont some weeks ago. Judge T. H. Cooke ap? peared for tbe defendants. The Jury brought in a verdict of "guilty of an as? sault and battery of a blgh and aggravated nature as to Richardson, and not guilty as to the others." Richardson was sent to the Penitentiary for twelve months. The following Jurors tried the case: J. S. Fowler, Foreman, Luther J. Burriss, N. A. Shirley, Jas. H. Hatcher, John L, T?te, B. Y. Wright, Thos. D. StevensoD, Wm. L. Gambrell, John W. Dawson, A. F. Shearer, A. W. McCollougb, J. D. Maxwell. AI. Martin^ a colored man, was then put on trial for murder. The Court ap? pointed Messrs. H, H. Watkins and H. H. Blease to defend Martin. A Jury was impanelled and the case proceeded, but the State having failed 6c make out its case the Jury was ordered to bring in a verdict of not guilty. The case of J. Mims Sullivan was con? tinued on an order from Associate Justice Y. J. Pope of tbe Supreme Bench. Sulli? van's counsel, as we stated la?t week, moved to have the case removed from this Cour;on the ground tbat this Court hod not acquired jurisdiction thereof. Judge Izlar overruled this order, and counsel then appealed to Justice Pope for a re? straining order, which was granted, fluoh proceedings were very irregular and unusual, and Judge Izlar stated that he believed Justice Pope's action was not justified by "warrant of law or prece? dent," and seemed strongly of the belief that he had the right to disregard it and order the case to trial despite Pope's order, but he stated that that procedure might complicate matters, and therefore be wonld continue the case. Joe Burns and Gub Reed were convicted of an assault of a high and aggravated na? ture, and sentenced to pay a tine of $35 or be confined in tbe Penitentiary nine months. The case against Mary Jane Simpson was transferred to the contingent docket aud will not be pushed unless further trouble takes place. On Friday morning the case of T. Prue Fant, charged with murder, was called up for trial. Messrs. Jos. N. Brown, Murray A Wdtkina and Tribble & Prince had been retained to defend Mr. Fant. The following Jury tried the case: A. W. McOollougb, Foreman, James C. Ellison, AIodzo P. Burditt, Geo. W, Haynie, Fred. Bagwell, George E. Jacks, 8. N. Gilmer, H. C. Routh, B. Y. Wright, John M. Gambrell, Austin W. Clement, Jas. H. Hatcher. The State introduced four and tbe defense seven witnesses, Geo. E. Prince, Esq., examining the witnesses for tbe defense. The case was carried to Sat? urday morning, the Jury being closely confined and guarded over night. After close questioning of witnesses and good speeches from both sides the Jury returned a verdict of not gu'My after about a couple of hours of deliberation, and young Fant walked forth a free man. Thie (case concluded tbe criminal busi? ness. On Monday morning the Court of Com? mon Pleas opened aud. is still in session. The Bribery Case, On Friday afternoon of last week So? licitor Ansel read the affidavits below pub? lished immediately after Court was call ,ed. A large crowd was in the Court House, and everybody was startled at the facts set forth, and eagerly listened as the reading proceeded. It was very* evident that his Honor, Judge Izlar, was deeply interested, and that his wrath was kindled against the guilty. Tbe follow? ing are tbe affidavits : State of South Carolina, ) County of Anderson. J Fersonal.y comes before me J. W. Dil? lingham who being duly sworn, deposes and says, That on Monday night the 13th inst., near 10 o'clock at night, B. P. Trammell came up to deponent and said, "i will tell you something if you will say nothing about it," and deponent said, "What is it?" He replied, "I am em? ployed to work this Jury for Sullivan. A Mr. Harper came to me in. front of Hotel Chiquola and took me tip into a room and gave me two thousand dollars" ?aud mrammell took deponent by the band and placed deponent's hand on his hip pocket, and said, "The money is here," and depo none felt a large roll, which deponent supposed to be the mon? ey ; and Trammel! said, "I am a good one, and have already worked *one Jury mau, aud he has the money and a quart of liquor and is gone home." Deponent asked him who that was, and he replied, "Ed. Cashiue, I've got him, I know, aud I gave Leak $100 to keep him and I know 1 have got him;" and also replied, "I will work Norryce if I can, I will try." Previous to this conversation deponent saw Trammell and one of said Jurymen at Leak's barroom together, aud Tram? mell asked deponent if deponent saw anything, and deponent replied, "I saw you give him money." On the following Tuesday evening de? ponent communicated to the Chief of Police tbe conversation bad on tbe previ? ous eveuing with Trammell, and the matter was communicated to Mr. Prince, who camo to deponent to know tho facts. By instructions of tbe Chief of Police and Mr. Prince, deponent carried Trammell to a place where the Chief of Polico and Mr. Prince and others might hear it for themselves. Deponent and Trammell went into tbe hallway leading into the Council room on Brick Range in the city of Anderson, near to an open adjacent room where the Chief of Police was sta? tioned aud there Trammell repeated tho conversation as set forth in the affidavit of C. F. Jones, which I have heard read. Tbe next morning deponent called upon Trammell for the check, and ho said, "alright," at first, and started with de? ponent to the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank and stopped and said, "I will have to see some other parties," naming a Mr. Harper. He came back after awhile and said, "That party is worked I think, aud I can't do that." J. W. Dil lino ham. Sworn to and subscribed before me this February 17, 1893. J. L. Tribble, Notary Public.

Trammell and John Dillingham, and heard Tram? mell tell said Dillingham that he, Tram? mell, would bring hint a check the next morning for $100, if said Dillingham would get a certain Juryman on the side of Sullivan in the cava pending agaiust Sullivan.' Mr. Dillingham stated he thought be could work certain parties from Williamston, and there were other Jurymen he thought ha could work, and Trammell replied, "That is good," and be would bring him a check. A certain Juryman's name was called and Tram? mell replied that he, Trammell, had already fixed him. He also uaraeu another Juryman, and Dillingham said, "I oan get another Juryman for you," and Trammell replied, "He is a good one," and "I will have you the check, and I've got the thing as sure as there is a world," and Dillingham said, "Did you work Cashiue?" aud Trammell said, "yes. Cashiue is a dandy." He did not state who was furnishing the money. His conversation was in ref? erence to the case of the State vs. Sulli? van. Ohas. F.

That while with him said Trammell brought up tbe case of the State vs. Sullivan and stated that depon? ent had been enquired about to know how depenent would do if put on the Jury in said casp, and wanted to know if deponent was open to influenae or not. He requested deponent to return at night and talk the matter over. Deponent re? plied he would be governed altogether by the evidence in the case if he were drawn as a Juryman in said ease, and with that reply left Trammell. E. T. Cashing. Sworn to and subscribed boloro me February 17, 18?3. John C. Watkins, c. c. p. <t r. m. c. On hearing the above affidavitts read Judge Izlar, on motion of tho Solicitor, issued a rule against B. P. Tram moll to show cauao on tbo following morning why he should not be adjudged in con? tempt of the Court and punished for at? tempting to corrupt and bias and influ? ence Jurors at tho sitting of this Court. Copies of tho above were sorved on Tram moll, the other sipR. The first intimation that Capt. Sullivan or any of his Attorneys had that any ouo was suspocted of bribing, or attempting to bribe the Jury in his behalf, was tuo account published in tbe Greenville News. At once- bo and his Attorney, Jos. A. MeCulloUgh, Esq., oamo over, together with other parties who worn im? plicated, determined to fully investigate the whole affair. Capt. Sullivan was ignorant of tho facts alleged rind felt assured that none of his friends -were parties to any such scheme, lie and his friends regretted that Trammell had fled, and offered any aid they could give to secure him, and have him make a clean breast of the whole affair. They at once wont to work investiga? ting the matter. From C. Wardlaw, Esq., they obtained TrammeH'saffidavitand re? turn to tho rule issued against him, which was made on the afternoon the rule was issued. In this affidavit Trammell stated that he can neither admit nor deny that ho had the conversation alleged to" have been made to Dillingham and overheard by Mr. King-and others, inasmuch as he wsa under the influenco of liquor at the time. He stated : "That no one paid or offered to pay this Respondentany money whatever for tho purpose of usiug it in any way in the case of tbe Stato vs. Sulli? van, and tbat Respondent did not pay any money to any one for any purpose what? ever connected with tho said case, aud tbat any statements that Respondent may have made to that effect were made while drunk, and this Respondent has no knowledge of said facts." He says fur? ther that if he did make the statements al? leged, "they were utterly without founda? tion, and are not founded on any facts that were -true." C. Wardlaw, Esq., makes affidavit to the effect that when Trammell came to him and retained him he asked him to tell him the whole truth about the affair, let implicate who it might. Ho told him that if he confessed his guilt to him that the law would protect the communication, and he could not be compelled to disclose it.*Ho explained to Trammell that it would be better for him to tell him the whole truth, and Trammell told him he would tell bim the truth and "all about it." That after preparing each paragraph in said affidavit hi) would ask him, "Now, Ben, is this truo," and Ben would answer that it was. C. E. Harper, tbe man whom Dilling? ham says Trammell told him furnished the money, ?2,000, makes affidavit pro? nouncing such statement absolutely false. He says he knows nothing of any attempt to bribe the jury by any one. G. L. Leak, with whom, according to Dillingham, Trammell stated that he had left $100 for purpose of keeping Cashiue fixed, denies it absolutely and pronoun? ces it as utterly without foundation. He knew nothing of any such attempt. W. S. Alexander, who stays at Leak's bar on Dopot street, says he saw Tram? mell and Cashine in his bar Tuesday night, and Trammell set up to drinks. He had them charged. Trammell did not buy a quart of whiskey from him that night. He saw Dillingham at the door for about 30 seconds while thoy were in theie. Did not see Trammell give Cashine money or anything; tbat if he had done so he thought he would have seen it; that he docs not remember Trammell's being in bis place of business at all Mon? day night; that Trammell had taken two other drinks there before tbat evening and had them all charged. It will be remembered that Dillingham says that on Wednesday morning Tram? mell said be would give him a check on Farmers' and Merchants' Bank for 3100 to fix a certain Juror and started to do so, <fec. J. R. Vandiver makes affidavit that neither Sullivan, Trammell, Harperand no one else implicated had any money on deposit at his Bank, except Trammell, who bad to his credit less than ?5.00. Mr. Brock makes same affidavit so far as his Bank is concerned. C. C. Langston makes affidavit that he saw Trammell about 5 p. m. Friday, and asked him about the matter, and Tram? mell replied that the facts which he was reported. to have stated were not true, and he was only "joking the d?d fool," alluding to Dillingham. m T. S. Crayton says, in substance, he saw Trammell about same hour aud made about same enquiry, and Trammell told him he was not employed to bribe tbe Jury, and received nor paid any money to any one for that purpose. D. L. Carlisle and W. F. Gaines say that they saw Trammell and Cashine in Leak's bar on Tuesday night when Dil? lingham came to the door, and they did not see Trammell give Cashine anything. Trammell was under influence of whis? key. On Saturday morning Trammell did not appear in Court. His attorney, C. Wardlaw, Esq., asked that he be given time to prepare his answer. Several hours were granted. Trammell still did not appear, and Judge Izlur imposed a fine of ?100 on him. Since about 12 o'clock Friday night Trammell has not been seen. A warrant for bribery has been taken out for him. Policeman Dillingham did a most com? mendable and praiseworthy act in ex? posing the facts communicated to him. Death of John C. Griffin { The Cherokee Scout, published at Mur? phy, N. C, in its issue of the I4th. inst., says: "John C. Griffin died at Ogreeta, Cherokee county, N. C, January 10th, 1893, after a long and liugering illness. He was born at Abbeville, S. C, Octo? ber 8th, 1815. He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for sixty years, an exemplary Christian whose life and energies were devoted to tho cause of Christ. ?'**'?

A widower until his marriage with Miss Francis E. Acker, January 8th, 1848, who boro him eight children, seven of whom are liv? ing, and well-known to the citizens in the communities iu which tbey live. Death is always sad, even when anticipa? ted, and whilo we regret tho cause that^ makes these remarks fitting, we are pleased to pay our tribute of respect to the memory of one whom God had set the seal of perfect manhood. In all the relations of life he filled the full meas? ure of a well rounded and fully dovelop ed map." Col, Griffin, in bjs young manhood, became a citizeu of Anderson and was engaged in business here until 185G, when he moved to Williamston, where he merchandized for a number of years. In 18G5 he moved to Dalton. Ga., and some years later moved to North Carolina, where he resided until his death. Col. Griffin is tho father of Mr, H. A. Griffin, of this County, and has a host of old friends and relatives in this section who will regret to hear of his death. Dr. E. Hadley Gieene.
