I5l^j?geburg, April 6:?A J Tinda and Barclay Rush are alive. Thej J were not drowned while dynamiting ,for fish in the Santee river, neai JButawville, on March 13, last, anc (while nearly every man in that section of Orangeburg county was en(gaged in dragging the river in ef? iforte to recover the bodies of the fippoaed dro.wned men, the "vie018" of what was believed,by some deplorable double tragedy were u'etly making their way to distant irts. The veil of mystery surrounding is affair has been torn away by nc ? a personage than one of the pposed "victims" himself, Bari? Rush, in flesh and blood, whe rived here this afternoon on the lantic Coast Line train from Austa. As soon as Rush alighted he PRr&s recognizea oy uu aquauumvi and was later located at a boarding house in the city by the correspondent of The News and Courier, i Rush talked freely of the affaii and at times was very much amused when told of matters at this end ir connection therewith. He laughed heartily when informed of the long and tireless search that had beer ? made to recover his and Tindal't "bodies" from the swollen San tee, and again at the information thai lindal's will had been filed. Declaring that he and Tindal had quarreled and separated in Augusta, h Ga, and that he had not heard frorr ? .or of his late companion since.younj " Rush told a story substantially as follows: IS: v v Tindal, according to Rush's state Let usfte/p P H| w I When a man is sick he p fore he uses itf he does i DH The banker (rives his a< When you art* in financia W^msult us'.- it is strange that j '1 is as cheerful as it is free, r I men have risked and lost l/fyou want some advice " welcome you.

If that is what you are lc z~i Kin$ ' 1 ment, was heavily involved financially and in order to get rid of his troubles, hit upon the scheme of i faking accidental drowning, urging him (Rush) to join in the plan, to which the latter consented. The two went to the river, taking dynamite, also two extra hats, and I these were the hats found noating r on the water when a search was inP stituted for the missing men, and . which, in the minds of many, helped I to confirm the drowning theory. After "planting" the "evidence" . at the river, said Rush, the two pre, pared to take their departure on the , Atlantic Coast Line train running . between Creston and Denmark, so they remained in hiding until the i * , train reached Parler, several miles t above Eutawville. They first got on the "blind baggage," but the porter , ran them off; however, just before , the train started, said Rush, they - - ' ? , sneaked back ana got un me mu steps of the last coach. , They went as far as Denmark that > night, March 13, then on to Augusta . next day. After being together in , Augusta for four or five days, Rush , says he and Tindal had a falling out , and the latter left him, but where . Tindal went or where he is now, Kush declares he does not know. Relating his experience after sepI arating from his companion, young { Rush says he "worked around" till I he landed in Alabama, but the only r work he could get to do there was , too hard for him,so he decided to re! turn to his home, working his way back. * j ? f At the time of the supposed drowning of Tindal and Rush, the 1 Santee river section of Orangeburg county was greatly stirred over the , affair. Tindal was a prominent r young farmer, of splendid family 5 connection and was to all appearances successful in business.

When the two young men failed to return from the river where they stated they were going to dynamite for fish on March 13, their relatives and friends became apprehensive and immediately began a search. Their hats floating on the river, the overturned and damaged boat and other circumstances plainly indicated that they had met death either by being killed outright by dynamite or had been so badly injured that they were * ? ? al unable to swim asnore wnen meir boat upset; therefore,they were given up for dead and for days the river was searched by dozens of people whose efforts were not rewarded by the recovery of the "bodies." Soon,however, it began to be whispered around that, perhaps a search on land would produce more satisfactory results; then there were stostories in the newspapers intimating that, after all, there probably had been no tragedy. The friends of the, supposed "deceased" became indignant at the "foul attacks upon their | memories." etc, and strongly resented insinuations that Tindal and Rush had not met the fate claimed. A little later Tindal's will,dated March 1, was filed here with the Judge of Probate,and this circumstance caused a renewal of gossip concerning the affair. However, the people about here apparently decided to give the young men the benefit of the doubt and discussion of the affair was practically at an end. when arrives Barclay Rush, whose sensational story revives interest in the matter and puts upon the lips of nearly everyone the question: "Where is Jack Tindal?

BUILDING BOOM ON-MARRIAGES AND DEATHS-SOCIAL AND PERSONAL HAPPENINGS. Scranton, April 8:?"Dan Cupid" has been quite busy hereabouts of late, there having been two marriages in town last week: Tuesday, April l,at 8 o'clock p. m., Miss Beulah McKnight and Mr Laurence Kennedy were married at the home of Mr Geo C Cusaac by the bride's pastor, Rev J W Truluck. The immediate family and a few invited guests witnessed the ceremony. Before the event the friends and "folK" partook of a bounteous spread, after which Mr and Mrs Kennedy were "seen" to the depot, wherp thev awaited "89". They were given a lively send-off and amid the popping of fireworks, shouts and hurrahs, they boarded the train for Savannah, Ga, and other points South. After returning they will reside at Andrews. Wednesday afternoon, at 7:30 o'clock, Miss Alma Singletary became the bride of Mr Stanley Matthews,a popular young business man of Cowards, Rev J W Bailey, of the Methodist church, officiating. Short ly after the ceremony the happy couple "slipped away", thus avoiding the brigade of joy-makers who had gone to get rice and fireworks to set them sailing on the sea of matrimony. Mr and Mrs Matthews will make their home at Cowards. May happiness ever dwell among these young couples. Among the out-of-town relatives present were: Messrs E E Singletary of Cowards. F L Singletary of Effingham and J G Singletary of Conway, brothers of the bride. Mr E M Husbands went to the "Gate City" Friday, returning the same day.
