Stratton, who died at Col? orado Springs, recently, leaving behind about 114,000,000, willed that some nine-tenths of that great sum should be for the establishment and endow " ment of a home for poor men as a memorial of his father. "It now turns ont that this is a notable case of ex? piation. In his youth Stratton was a .dissipated fellow and subject to insane rages. In one of these violent fits, he nearly killed a carpenter in his father's shop, and, horrible to relate, one evening he went into the house and got his gun. Standing on the iront porch, he took deliberate aim and fired at his father, who had start? ed down the street. The bullet fort nnately went wide of the mark, but it had the effect of starting young Strat? ton westward sooner than he had plan? ned. From that time remorse .took posses? sion of him and he never rested until his father forgave him. He would weep, after his father's death, recal? ling his parent's kindness, and how nnnatnrally he requited it. Then he bent all of his energies to make money, and, after years of struggle and poverty, along with 'separation from his wife, he became a multi-mil? lionaire, but never knew any happi? ness beyond gratification of material prosperity. To expiate his cruelty to his father, he proposed a memorial for time, but the lawyers, instigated by a dissatisfied son, are after a different distribution of the fortune, and the great expiation may be frustrated. like so many other rich men, he held on to his mil? lions to the last, instead of adminis? tering1 them, as he desired, in his life time. Governor McSweeney has appointed former Judge James F. Izlar, of Orangeburg, to hold a special term of Court in Kershaw County, beginning on the first Monday in December. This special term of the Court was asked for the members of the Bar of Kershaw County to relieve the work that has accumulated there. The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kicd of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, ?. T.. writes : For a number of years I WAS troubled with indigestion ;:nd dysx>epsia .which grew into the worst form. Finally I was induced to use Kodol and after using four bottles I am entirely cured. I hearti? ly recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals. _It digests what you ea*,. J. S. Hughson <fc Co. Bell Telephone and Newberry. Newberry, October 14.-A special meeting of city council was held this morning, at the request of Mr. Speer, superintendent of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, to consider the matter of granting his company a franchise to do business within the city limits. Lawyer J. Y. Culbreath represented the company. After hear? ing the argument it was decided" to postpone action until the regular meet? ing of council on the 21st inst. This makes the third request of th? company for admission to this city. When the matter, first came up for consideration council granted the franchise sought, fixing a scale of prices. Later this action was rescinded and a second franchise, prescribing the same limitations under which Mr. L. W. Floyd's local company does busi? ness, given, including a twenty-year limitation. 1^ this the company would not consent, but agreed to com? promise by accepting a thirty-year limitation and a scale of prices fixed by them. Council refusing to grant this franchise, the matter was dropped until this morning, When the third proposition from the company was pre? sented. Now the company asks for a franchise unlimited as to price and time. Gambler's Money Seized. New York, Oct. 15.-A dozen big rolls of greenbacks were found, ac? cording to District Attorney Jerome, in the safes of two of the five alleged gambling houses which were the scene of raids last night by order of the district attorney. "I understand that there is a great de?l of money deposited each night by bookmakers in these places," said Mr. Jerome to? day. "But I do not know who owns the rolls. It will not be sufficient identi? fication for a man to say "that $10,000 roll is mine.' " It has been ascertained that the total amount of money in the rolls found in the safes is about $250,000. Some of the Tammany men do not i seem to think tnat Bird S. Coler is a very strong candidate for Governor. "He's a lightweight," said one of these gentlemen. "Why, if Coler was dropped from a twenty-story building, tied to a cotton thread, he wouldn't be heavy enough to straighten out the kinks." Beauvoir Solo io the S. C. V. Jackson, Miss., October 15.-The formal sale and transfer of Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis, by Mrs. Davis to the Sons of Confederate Veterans was consummated today at the opening session of the reunion of the Mississippi Division, Sons of Con? federate Veterans. The home will be used as a home for indigent Confeder? ate veterans. Mrs. Davis received $10,000 for the home. A Russian Scheme. London, October 17.-In a dispatch from Bucharest, Ronmania, the cor? respondent of the Daily Mail says he has just returned from Constantinople, where he investigated the reported Russian diplomatic advances to Tur? key. He says he is able to affirm positively that the Grand Duke Nich? olas, of Russia, during his recent visit to the Sultan, proposed to Turkey the revival of the Unkar-Kelessi trea? ty, which was concluded in June of 1833, and which established a Rus? so Turkish alliance. Under the terms of this treaty the Pote undertook, at Russia's request, to exclude in time of war all foreign war ships from the Black Sea, while Russia undertook, ?? Turkey's request to furnish aid by land and sea forces. This treaty, continues the correspon? dent of the Daily Mail, which really placed Turkey in the position of a sub? ject State of Russia, lasted for eight years, but on account of the opposi? tion of the Western Powers it was not renewed. Russia now proposes not only to renew it, but to introduce articles strengthening its purport. The Turkish Court and Government were thrown into consternation, fear? ing it was Russia's intention to en? force her wishes. Some important ministers were disposed to entertain the proposal, but a majoity of the influential ministers were against it. Havana, October 15.-An official of the Cuban Government is authority for the statement that as yet the Cuban Cabinet has had no opportunity seriously to' consider the outline of the treaty with the United States, formally presented by Minister Squiers October 8. He said there had been only two Cabinet meetings since that date and that they had both been taken up with consideration of the annual budget, which must be ap? proved before anything else was done. It is generally understood that President Palma is being strongly urged to resist the establishment of an American naval station at Havana, as is called for in the treaty presented by Mr. Squiers, and that mutual friends of the United States and Cuba will ask the United States to withdraw this request lt is probable that the United States will be offered a naval station at Bahia Honda, on the north coast of Pinar Del Rio Province and about fifty miles from Havana, were there is an excellent harbor.

They also cn re biliousness, sick headache and constipation. --I . -V Cl - London, Oct 15.-Emily Crawford, in Truth, says the Countess De Lonyay, formerly Crown Princess Stephanie, of Austria, and the credit? ors of Princess Philip, of Saxony Coburg, will probably be forced to sue her father, Kin;: Leopold, of Belgium, to obtain their shares of their mother's fortune* amounting to 62, 000,000, which she left equally to her two daughters, lt is believed that the King claims the money as a credit? or for amounts lent and unpaid. Get a free samipte of Chamberlain*.? Stomach and Liver Tablets at Dr. A. J. China's drug store. They are easier io take and more pleasant in effect than pills. Then their u*e is nor followed by constipation as is often the case with pills. Uieguiar size, 25c. per box. MRS. GABBIE NATION BOUNCED. | _ j A Texas Barkeeper Throws Her i Into the Street. Austin, Tex., Oct. 16.-Mrs. Carrie Nation arrived her today and at? tempted to take charge of a saloon on Fifth street and Congress avenue, and landed in the gutter as a result. Al-, derman Bill Davis, proprietor of the' place, was present at the time and the reformer immediately turned her attention to him, but before sb.6 had proceeed far in her abuse of saloon men and their occuption Alderman Davis asked the visitor who she was and commanded her to leave the place. "I am Carrie Nation, sir," said she, "and was never known to. leave a saloon hell until I got good and ' ready." "lam sorry, Carrie," replied the proprietor, "but it makes no differ? ence who you are, one of us has got to go out." Mr. Davis stepped from behind the bar and upon Mrs. Nation's second refusal to vacate, he caught her by the back of the neck and one arm and threw her bodily into the street and her satchel immediately followed her. After being ejected Mrs. Nation spoke on the sidewalk until the police dis? persed the crowd, She was forced to take'the train out of town for her next speaking place. ? The Southern Railway management is certainly doing a great and important work in inducing the home-seeker to settle along its lines. This road is a very effective factor in the develop? ment of our beautiful Southland, which is so rich in natural resources, and the thrift and industry seen along its lines is an evidence that good results have followed its efforts in this direction.

Washington, October 16.-Applica? tions for the vacant collectorsbip of customs at Charleston are pouring in upon the treasury department, indicat? ing that an interesting contest is now being waged for the position. Among those who have submitted their claims up to the present time are : E. C. Browne, W. D. Crum, F. L. Frost, W. H. Johnson, J. S. Mobley and F. B. Whitelaw, all,of Charleston: Lunsford Harby, Wi?liston; W. D. Barney, Edgefield, and G. W. Reardon, Sum? ter. Most of the papers in these cases have been filed during the past two or three days and the expectation among the candidates is that Secretary Shaw will make a decision as soon as he re? turns to Washington. This impres? sion is strengthened by the fact that Referee John Capers has endorsed one of the applicants, but the treaury de? parted officials decline to say who is the lucky man in this respect-News and Courier. Mr. S. B. Earle has been elected as? sistant professor in mechanical engi? neering in Clemson College, to suc? ceed Prof. Barnes, who left a few weeks ago to accept a position in the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi.
