TSE EXPECTED BAS HAPPENED. I Giange of Venus Oranted in the Tillman Trial. . THE SENSATION OF THE DAV Was Ex-Judge 0. W. Buchanan's Tirade "Against the Press, The Commercial Interests and the Peo? ple generally of Colombia." Colombia, S. C., Jane 24-Argu? ment on the motion for a change of venue in the case of James H. Till? man, indicted for the murder of N. G. Gonazles, was concluded at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and Judge Townsend at once-, announced, his decision that the change should be grnated. Coun? sel disagreed concerning the county where the case should be sent and this ?as left"undecided for-the present The "day's proceedings opened with tae argm#nt [ot Mr. Andrew Craw? ford, for the prosecution, against the i motion. Be spoke* for an hour and a; ?alf, and ins presentation of the law was hrgrrry compiim<mted. He wasj followed by Mr. P. fl. Nelson, for the defence, who also devoted himself largely to the law of the case. Mr. G. Buncann Bellinger, formerly At? torney Generai, ; next addressed the Gourt foi the., prosecution, nrst ans? wering the arguments on the other side. Solicitor Thurmond closed for the prosecution in a clear-cut speech. The sensation cf the day followed, when Ex-Judge O.- W. Buchanan, the ?defendant's brother-in-law, addressed the Court?. It was not thought that Judge Buchanan would speak, especial? ly as the defence had left only about iifty minutes of the time allotted that ?ide, wMcfr, it was presumed, would fee occupied by Congressman George "W. Croft, Tillman's law partner. But Judge Buchanan spoke for thirty min? utes ancl delivered a bitter arraign? ment of the press, the commercial in? terests and the people generally of Colombia. He asserted that com? mercialism had supplanted the old Southe rr. standards, and that the press was now at liberty to abase and villify any man who spoke his honest convic? tions. 7 He charged that the State had goaded the defendant to desperation by its abuse of him, and said the State ??d now cracked its whip and lashed the citizens of Columbia into signing .affidavits for the prosecution under fear of the State's power. He charged that the capitalist interest and the press were allied, and that men had tieen intimidated into signing those affidavits, lest their position or their ?business be injured. "By grabs," exclaimed Judge Buch? anan., "if they don't like this let them lump it" Judge Townsend interrupted the speaker to say that he was consuming the time of the defence and leaving none for Mr. Croft. .Mi; Buchanan then took his seat ana Court adjourned for dinner with fifteen, minutes remaining of the al jtSotted time. This was extended, and ^ 35c Croft closed the argument, after . dinner, in a strong speech of about - twenty minutes. At ??& dose the Court announced its -decision to grant the motion and ask -ed counsel for suggestions concerning ? ^he place to which the case should be cransfened. Mr. Croft suggested i Saluda, Sat to this Solicitor Thur j22ond objected on the ground that Siftnda Court House is fourteen miles r^from the railroad and accommodations ..areioo in?agre to entertain the two Jaemoxe? witnesses who would have *?to*nf ttsTB"usported there. Crawford also spoke in objec? tion to Saluda, saying that the defen? dant's father, the late Congressman George I). Tillman, was the father of Saluda County and that until recent jyears Saluda was a part of Edgefield, the defendant's home. Mr. Nelson spoke strongly in favor of sending the case to Saluda, alleging I ?hat the defendant was entitled to a sheedy trial and this could not be had sinless it was sent to either Saluda pr Edgefield, as Court for this term has been held in other counties of this circuit-. Mr. Bellinger replied to the remarks -of Messrs. Croft and Nelson with much vigor, asserting that to transfer the case to Saluda wonl ? be unwise and unjust to the prosf-oution as well as inconvenient. Be said that the defen? dant had waived his right to a speedy trial by asking for a continuance at the last term of Court, when the pro? secution was anxious to proceed. There .were several lively tilts between Messrs. Nelson and Bellinger. Mr. Croft closed the argument, as? serting that there were ample accom? modations at Saluda and that it is not a Tillman stongbold. Judge Town? send then instructed the attorneys to draw up an order for a change of. renae and leave the county blank for the present. It is supposed he will announce his decision on that point tomorrow. The case must be tried in the judi? cial circuit, in which there are five ceunties. This county, Richland, is saew eliminated bj' today's decision. EdgeSeld is the defendant's home and counsel for defence admittd that they .did not expect it to go there, al ?hough counsel for the prosecution preferred Edgefield to Saluda. Saluda is a ?>w county, cut off seven years ago from Edgefield, and George D. Tillman, father ol the defendant, was instrumental in having it formed. The other two counties in the cir? cuit are Lexington and Kershaw, which are on opposite sides of Rich? land. Lexington adjoins Edgefield, .but has close business interests with Sichland, and it is Lexington that the counsel for the prosecution seem to prefer, It is believed that Judge Townsend will either name Saluda or Lexington, and in either case the trial will not take place for six weeks or two months.-News and Courier. Tillman to Be Tried in Lexington. Special to The Daily Item : Columbia, June 25.-Judge Town- ? send announced in court this morning that having granted the change of venue applied for by the Attorneys of james H*. Tillman, he would order the tiial removed to Lexington county ? ?t the fall term of court. The removal to Lexington is some? what of a surprise as it was generally -believe that the trial would be held ia Saluda county. GR??T BANK FOR NEW YORK. Biggest Financial institution in the World Being Organized With $100,000,000 Capital. Washington, Jnne 21- New York city is to have the largest bank in the United States and in the world. It will be larger than the Bank of Eng? land or of any of the famed financial I institutions of the old world. This in? formation is brought to Washington by an agent of one of the large finan? cial concerns of the metropolis. Just how soon the big enterprise is to be launched is not decided, but overtures have been made to see if the govern? ment will raise objection to the capitalization ?nd to the organiziation of the bank under the national banking laws. The refusal of the .government to sanction the venture is the only thing that will prevent carrying out the scheme. It is not deemed prob? able that any obstacle will be met as the same safeguards will be insisted on and the same precautions taken by the government after the organization as are taken now in the smallest bank of the United States. The capitaliza? tion is to be $100,000,000. This will equal the government's gold reserve and will be " much larger than the capitalization of any banking or finan? cial institution in the world. Although the time has not come. to make known the men who are to be associated in the new enterprise it is understood" that the recent consolida? tion of the National Bank of Com? merce and the Western National Bank in New York city is the first step in the direction of the new bank. These banks have united and have a capitalization of $25,000,000, making them now the largest bank in this country. The name of the new insti? tution is the National Bank of Com? merce. As a majority of the stock in the new bank is owned by the people con? trolling the Western National Bank, it has not been generally understood why the name of National Bank of Commerce was chosen. It was ex? plained today that the National Bank of Commerce has a charter, which is different and more valuable than any other bank in the country. No such charter could possibly be secured from the government now. At the time when the national banking law was passed, it . was the desire of the gov? ernment that State and other banks should take advantage of its terms. In consequence organized banks were per? mitted to retain their charters, except where they were in open conflict with the provisions of the national banking law. The National Bank of Commerce has a charter which is not duplicated anywhere. One of its advantages is the limiting of responsibility of its stockholders to the amount of their investment. Another is that the directors themselves fill vacancies in their own body, and not the stock holders generally. The charter has many more practical advantages in that it is more liberal than charters since the banking law went into effect. The great advantage of organizing a new bank with a capitalization of $100,000,000 is to finance great enter? prises. Financiers have seen the growing tendency among the people of the country to engage in new and big enterprises. In former years, when the country was younger, few schemes were luanched which contemplated a term of more than a few years to work out. Now financiers are launching enterprises which, they believe, will be in existence, and by their very nature cannot be worked ont for sev? eral generations. These require im? mense amounts of money. Now, when a big enterprise is launched a financial syndicate is organized. Into the syndicate a number of banks and fin? ancial institutions are drawn. If one of the big banks drawing to itself millions of dollars of capital is organized, it is felt that there will not have to be a division of profits with other members of a syndicate nor? win the largest enterprises along conservative lines have to enter into negotiations with any but the one concern. Suicided With Dynamite. Brunswick, Ga., June 25-Friends of George Coates, a former prominent railroad and club man of this city, learned today of his suicide near Ur? bana, a suburb of Brunswick. Mr. Coates used dynamite as a means of self-destruction, and his body was mangled into an almost unrecognizable mass. The body was discovered today in an unfrequented location in the woods. The time of the suicide is be? lieved to have been Monday night, when a, loud explosion was heard by mill hands near Urbana. Up to two years ago Mr. Coates had been for years general agent of the Plant system in this pity. He after? ward became attached to the Bruns? wick and Birmingham Eailway as auditor. The reason for his suicide is not definitely known. A Colony For Georgetown. The sinking fund commissioners has sold five thousand acres of public land in Georgetown County to T. J. Doyle, of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Com? pany, the price being $1.25 per acre. Mr. Doyle intends to colonize the tract and experiment with the raising of sugar beets and cranberries, the land, it is said, being suitable for both. New London, Conn, June 25.-For I the first time on record Yale today triumphed over Harvard in all three of their boat races in the annual regatta on the Thames. The wearers of the blue won the eght-oared "Varsity" by three and one-half boat lenghts, the freshmen eight-oared race by two and a quarter lengths and the "Varsity" four-oared race by one and a half lengths. In all three races Harvard put up a memorable fight and went down to defeat after gallant straggle in which her boys rowed out the last ounce of their strength. "Tillman Fears Columbia Jury" is The Atlanta Constitution's headline on the report of the effort to secure a change of veune for the trial of Gon? zales' slayer. It is not a Columbia I jury especially, we think, that is I feared, but the facing of any jury and the application for the change of [ venue which has availed-is merely an undertaking to postpone the evil mo? ment as far as possible.-Charleston I Post. MILITIA RULE IN RICHMOND. Power of State Used to Protect Street Cars and Other Prop? erty of Trolley Company. Richmond, Va., Jnne 25.-Street cars were run on three of the city lines this afternoon, and are running to? night, so far without serious molesta? tion. On each car were four, six or eight militiamen, with rifles loaded and bayonets fixed. Strong guards of militiamen were on duty today at all the power houses and car barns, including the west end barn, in Hen rich county. Stringent orders were issued by the authorities today. For the purpose of maintaining order, wo? men and children were asked to re? main at home as far as possible, and the troops were specially directed to shoot promptly and to kill, if neces? sary, to prevent destruction of prop? erty, or peril to life or limb. Arrests are made on the slightest provocation, and altogether what is very nearly martial law is being en? forced. There were some slight out? breaks of disorder. A volley was fired over the heads of a riotous crowd by a squad of troops on a car, but at 10 o'clock the cars are running over the whole extent of the several lines and no rioting of any consequence has been reported from any part of the city. Just before midnight unknown per? sons in ambush, a little outside the west limits of the city, opened fire on passing cars. A motorman and two soldiers were slightly wounded. Troops and county officers are scouring the fields for the attacking individuals and so far have made two arrests. The cars continued their trips steadi? ly during the night and, beyond the shooting mentioned, there has been no disorder of moment. The number of passengers carried, however, is very small. Late tonight it was reported that the bridge on which the Seven Pines line, a part of the Richmond trolley system, eroses a run, but a mile and a half from the city, is in flames, having been set fire, it is alleged, by strike sympathizers. One of the men arrested in West End for firing on the cars, is a former employee of the street car company. Bullets were found on his person cor? responding in size to the wounds made by the shots. APPROPRIATION FOR S. G. MILITIA. The United States Works Sub? stantial Improvements for State Militia. m -- Columbia, June 25.-Gen. John D. Frost returned this afternoon from Washington where he went in connec? tion with militia affairs, and he brings with him good news for the militia. There has been set aside for this State, and will be soon available, $31, 399.25 for encampment purposes, besides an equipment fund of $24,063,29. All of the latter fund is now available, and an equal sum will be later on.. A requisition for, these funds will be made by some officer of the militia to be appointed byvtbe Governor, who will probably" announce the appoint? ment tomorrow. He will have to give a bond for half the amount and will be responsible for its disbursement, taking receipts and keeping vouchers in all respects, as is done in the regular army. He will receive the re? gular army pay of his rank while on duty. Up to a year ago this State re? ceived $8,000 from Uncle Sam for military purposes, but hi? liberally now has hardly been realized. The equipment fund of $48,000 referred to, does not include the equipment of magazine and carbine rifles, which are to be furnished free, nor does it include the encampment fund mention? ed. The encampment fund is to be used for the transportaton and subsist? ence of the officers and men of the militia, who participate in the en? campment and who will receive re? gular army pay and receipt for it. Those who do not participate will not receive any pay. A meeting of the field officers is to be held here next Wednesday to con? sider the matter of the encampment.. They will consider the location of camps, the water supply, lights, etc., of any place desiring the encampment. Requisition has been made for an entire field equipment of a regiment, consisting of tents, mess outfits, knives, forks and various other things needed by a regiment while in service. A requisition for an equipment of Krag-Jorgensens and carbines has also been made and tbey will be shipped at once. Gen. Frost feels that he will be able to accomplish great things for the militia under the circumstances, and he will devote all his energies in that direction. The Anderson chamber of commerce has already made in? quiries about the encampment, with a view of getting it there. TOBACCO IN TEXAS. Government to Establish Big Ex? perimental Station to Test Weed Grown in State. New Orlean, Jnne 25.-It is stated the United States Department of Agri? culture has decided to make Nacogdo ches, Texas, just north of Beaumont, on the line of the Southern Pacific, the biggest tobacco experimental station in the world. In August a plant for the curing of all the tobacco grown at experiment stations in the Southern States will be opened with leaf tobacco exports of the Agricultural Department in charge. Government tests have demonstrated that tobacco can be grown in the soil of East Texas, equal if not superior to the costly tobacco of the Venita Abaja district of Pinar del Ri, Cuba, known as the finest in the world. Senator J. A. McDermott, of Horry county, has resigned to Jfill the office of county treasurer, as a result of a recent meeting of the delegation of that county. The office was made vacant by the death of Mr. L. D. Long. The governor will order a special election to elect a successor to Senator McDermott, and the election will probably be held on the second Tuesday in August. ^^^^ THE AUTOMOBILE ORDINANCE. Owners of Motor Cars Should Take No? tice and Govern Themselves Accord? ingly. The automobile ordinance adopted by the City Council on the. 24th pro? vides that no automobile or motor bi? cycle shall be run on the sidewalks in any part of the city; that no automo? bile shall be run at a speed exceeding five (5) miles an hour within the fire limits or at a speed exceeding ten (10, miles an hour anywhere within the city limits; when turning street corn? ers the speed shall not exceed four (4) miles an hour anywhere within the city limits ; that a gong, bell, horn or other distinct signal shall be sounded when an automobile approaches any vehicle orpedestrain, either when meet? ing or passing; that all automobiles shall carry lamps at night so placed that they can be seen at a reasonable distance from front or rear; that at all times due care and caution shall be used to prevent injury to persons and property. The penalty for failure to observe any of the provisions of the ordinance is a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $100, or imprisonment at the dis? cretion of the Mayor. In case of damage to property the Mayorr is em? powered to add to the fine imposed to include the damages sustained by - the injured party. Owners of motor cars will do well to carefully consider the provisions of this ordinance and govern themselves accordingly. LIGHTNING'S PRANKS AT WEDGEFIELD Narrow Escape From Death of Several Negroes. Wedgefield, June 26.-We were visit? ed yesterday afternoon by another heavy rain accompanied by a good deal of lightning which did some damage. Stephen Taylor's (colored ) boys were leading his horse and mule out of the field when the lightning struck near, killing horse and mnle, but not injur? ing the boys. Thomas Taylor who lives about three miles above here, had his house also struck. He and a girl in the house were stunned, the girl receiving sev? eral burns. The floor where Taylor was sitting had two holes in it, where the bolts passed through killing a dog underneath the house. WOULD STOP FREE SEEDS. Dealers Want Government to Quit Distribution. Washington, June 24.-It is expect? ed that during the convention of American j3eed Merchants'Association, which began at Atlantic City yester? day, the matter of free distribution of seeds by the department of agricul? ture will be thoroughly discussed and some measures adopted with a view of stopping it. It is said also that the seed merchants will take some action regarding the establishment of the seed-testing stations by the depart? ment in different parts of the country. When asked about the matter one of the officials of the department who is close to Secretary Wilsen stated that any action by the merchants which would have the effect of discontinuing the free distribution of seeds by the government would be welcomed by the department. For years the department has been trying to rid itself of this work, but Congress annually appro? priates money for the purchase of the seeds and causes to be distributed throughout the country 57,000,(03 packages every year. These packages represent every variety of seed. . As to the other proposition; regard? ing the testing of seeds, it was said that the merchants would be cutting off their own heads if they took any action regarding this. The depart? ment merely seeks to learn which are the best seeds for certain localities and to protect the farmer, as much as it can, from the unscrupulous mer? chants who would foist on him seeds that would not germinate. "Tony" Aste, the king of New York bootblacks, attended the Rancho del Paso sale of yearlings at Sheeps? head Bay recently and secured the star of the sale. A black colt, by Water crest-Inquisitive, was knocked down to him for $7,100, after spirited bid? ding, in which some men of money took part. When Tony landed the prize the auctioneer said : "Mr. Aste, I hope you have another Nasturtium in this horse." It will be remember? ed that Aste sold this horse for $60,000. Aste is the Napoleon of the shining profession. He formerly manipulated a brush in the Equitable building and now owns an extensive string of "par? lors' all over the city He has over 800 men in his employ, all Italians He has been in this country only fourteen years, but in that time he has distanced ninety-nine and nine-tenths of the natives in the race for wealth. Wilmingtn, Del., June 25.-The ex citement and disorder following the lynching of George B. White for the murder of Miss Helen Bishop, has en? tirely disappeared, and the city and surrounding country is now quiet;. The police force, which has been call? ed upon frequently during the last few days to disperse crowds and put down incipient riots, had little to do today. No arrests were made and the authori? ties give no intimation that any will occur. Arthur Corwell of Indiana, who was arrested in connection with the lynching, will be given a hearing tomorrow. At the hearing the charge will be changed to that of manslaught? er. Corwell's bond of $5,000 was re? newed. Russell Sage is in his 89th year and is generally referred to as a " veteran financier," but Edward B. Wesley, a trader in the New York stock mar? ket, is his senior by four years in the matter of age and has been nearly a quarter of a century longer on change. Mr. Wesley began speculating when only 0 years of age, his first venture being in pins, when he made a profit of about a dollar. From that day to thi3 he has made his living as a speculator. Five days in the week he is in regular attendance in Wall street and until recently when rheum? atism began to bother him, he never was ill a day in his life. CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Samter, S. C., June 24, 1903. Council met at 8 o'clock p. m. Present: Major A. B. Stuckev, Aldermen W. B. Bovie, D. J. Chand? ler, G. W Dick, W. H. Epperson, ?. W. Hurst, P. P. Finn and J. A. Schwerin.

Mr. Douglass China appeared before Council and asked that bicyclists be prevented from riding on sidewalks of Bartlette and Harvin streets, where the roadways are macadamized and a resolution was adopted that bicyclists shall not ride on sidewalks of any paved street. A letter was read from E. I. Reardon Secretary of the Board of Health urg? ing on Council the necessity of im? proving Turkey Creek. The com? mittee in charge of the matter through Chairman Dick, reported that they had been delayed by the heavy rains from proceeding with the matter : that they were making such progress as they could. Further time was granted the committee. Z A letter was read from E. I. Reardon, President S. C. Sanitary Conference, asking that this city, in common with ohers, make a donation of $5.00 for the work of the conference. Action was postponed. The salary of the c?ock-keeper was fixed at $50 per annum, and the com? mittee on city hall repairs were re? quested to have work done which may be necessary for protection of the clock. * A petition cf citizens was granted changing Brooks street, to Walker avenue: Z. E. Walker offering to pay cost of changing the signs. A petition from citizens asked that E. Mary street be called Railroad avenue; which name has always at? tached to it. On motion of Alderman Dick the request was granted on the ground that Council had no intention to change the original name. Alder? man Chandler and others expressed disapproal of changing names of streets and thought Council ought not to accede to any further requests ex? cept for good reasons. The Clerk reported that water rents and bond interest falling due July 1st, would necessitate borrowing three thousand dollars. On motion of Aldermen Finn and W. H. Epperson, the Mayor and Clerk and Treasurer were authorized to borrow that amount from the First National Bank, executing and delivering therefor the city's certificate of indebtedness. On motion of Alderman Dick open? ing new streets hereafter must be un? der supervision of City Council. Ald? erman Schwerin suggested that in naming streets and avenues, Council should adhere to the requirement that all streets run in one direction and all avenues at right angle to streets. Mr. Hurst for the finance committee reported Clerk and Treasurer's report for May examined and correct. Ap? proval of claims referred to them. He also reported in reference to appoint? ment of a flue inspector, that the com? mittee is awaiting some further in? formation. The committee was grant? ed further time. The Clerk presented copy of proceed? ings of the mass meeting held in the Opera House on June 16th, to consider purchase of the Sumter Water Co. Consideration of same was postponed Alderman Finn stated that he had received a map of the company's sys? tem, which was in hands of the Clerk. Mr. Boyle for committee of public works asked further time to report upon drainage pf pond near lower Main street. The request was granted. An ordinance regulating the use of Automobiles and forbidding Motor Cycles on sidewalks had its first read? ing. Mr. Finn called attention of the police committee to the fact that bi? cyclists are violating the ordinance which requires them to carrry lights at night. Council then adjourned. The use of fumes from leaves of the eucalyptus in the treatment of pul? monary consumption, which is now attracting the attention of the Medical1 Society of Berlin, is new in America, I Danelius and Sommerfield of Berlin nave made satisfactory tests if it in a j combination of the powdered leaves, ! flower, sulphur and charcoal impreg? nated with oil of eucalyptus named Sanosin. It is vaporized on an eartfien dish by a spirit lamp. Dr. Engel, an eminent bacteriologist, who examined daily*the expectoration of each of the large number treated with anaosin, says that under no other treatment has he seen the sputum change so rapidly through disappearance of the tubercle bacilli and the elastic fibers peculiar to the disease. fi GREAT DEBATE IN SUMTER. ;iThe practice of Alien Immersion is subversive of Baptist Principles as taught by the New Testament," is the subject which will be discussed in the First Bap? tist Church of Sumter, S. C., by Rev. J. J. Porter, D.D., of Joplin, Mo., and Rev. C. C. Brown, D.D., of Sumter. The discussion will open at S p. m., Wednesday July 15th. extend through Thursday, and probably embrace Friday. A large number of visitors is expected to be present, and it is feared that the ho? tels, and* Private B?rding houses will not be prepared to accomodate them all. If such private families as are willing to take boarders for that occassion, at $1.00 a day, will notify Rev. F. M. Satterwhite, No. 15 W. Bartlette St., of that fact at once, stating where they live, and how many boarders they ?will take, he will place them in communication with st.ch visitors as will make their home in priv? ate families.
