THE BELLINGER TRIAL. The Case Heard Before Jade? Cothran and a Jury in Charleston-Synopsis of the , Evidence--The Result. Tbc trial of Dr. A. X. Bellinger for 11.A the Lilt; JVliUlJj? VI utt[Juuc t uuvj vi< ujv 2nd October last, was had before Judge Cothran in (Charleston last week, commencing on Tuesday. Solicitor Jervey appeared for the State, while the defence was represented by Messrs. Mitchell & Smith and the lion. A. G. . Magrath. After several challenges a jury, composed of twelve white men, was empaneled and sworn. The first witness for the State was Dr. Kiuloch, who simply described the five wounds -two in the bead and three in the body. W. W. DeVeaux described the encounter?or so much of it as he saw. He stated that Riley was advancing on i Dr. Bellinger with his head down and his right arm outstretched, and that ' Dr. B. fired five times rapidlv. Rilev ta.. rtflr ICil, auu ASl, JJVlIiiigCi noiavu vuJames Wei is, colored, stated the circumstances of the encounter, and swore that after Dr. Bellinger tired twice Rilev fell, and that after he fell Dr. Bellinger shot him three times. Selina Carter, colored, described the difficulty of the night before the killing, but her account did not greatly differ from Dr. Bellinger'!;, sumtnariz- ' ed below. She saw only two shots, being in the house, and then got - ? -A-* 3 ? 3 - 1 luiev s pisioi ana raiseu uu: tuurui. When she got to Riley he was ckad. Alexander Williams, colored, stated thai he saw the morning encounter, and, after Dr. Bellinger shot Riley twice he (witness) saw him standing over Riley's prostrate body, and fire three times. Joseph Cain testified to the encounter, and said he saw Dr." Bellinger "stagsrer back", and fire, and that the t\ - - _ "? x ?__ nri _ x^ocior iireu iwice law xuiey 5 pivstratebodv^ndsnan^ito pistol after Josepc^enaedyi^Biored, brought cut nothing new. He denied that he said before the coroner that Dr. B. retreated from Riley iuto the middle of the street, and then fired. The State here closed its case. Dr. A. N. Bellinger, the defendant, was now sworn. He stated that on the night before the killing he was in the streets, attending to his regular professional business, and that when he came to a point on Ball street, between Smith and Rutledge, he heard loud strokes of a whip, and cursing. He said to the man (whom he found to be KTley), "You ought to be ashamed of beat ins: that horse in that manner; why don't yon lead him on?" Riley became angry and abused, cursed defendant, flourished his whip, and came on him with a knife in his hand. Defendant went off, leaving Riley cursing and threatening. The morning ef the homicide, defendant went on his usual rounds, by no unusual route, and fearing violence from Riley, put a pistol in bis pocket. He met "Riley at the corner of Bull and Smith streets. He saw Riley with his back to the fence, his arms akimbo acu legs stretched apart and glaring at him in-this manner." As I got opposite to him he paid: "I took you for a gentleman, but I never made such a mistake in mv life; you are a d?d white: That was pretty galling. , I tnrned and I said: ''Riley, ' this thing has got to stop here.

At n. receDt election held in Bui? ?- -\r i_ iocs s threes townsmp, iork cuuulj, on the question of subscribing $32,000 to the capital stock of the Georgetown and North Carolina Narrow Gauge Railroad, there were 376 votes polled. Only 81 votes were polled against the subscription, the majority in favor beiiiir 214. The people along the liue of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad are loud in their complaints of the excessive freight charges of that company. The consequence is that large quantities of cotton are being shipped by the Savannah River. It is alleged that - ?m j me ranruuu in quc&uuii uae> auvaiia-u the freight charges on cotton to twenty-five ccnts per hnndrcd pounds and on other classes of freight proportionately. The Branchville Banner, speaking of the opinion that is held in some parts of Colleton county that the corporators will apply the $60,000 of county funds to the building of the road only from Walterboro to Green Pond, says: "It has been suggested, and by those who have means to invest in such an enterprise, that if the corporators wisn to aispei sncn impressions from the public mind, and establish the ?aci that their opposers have misconstraed their intentions, and at the same time Invite the investment of private capital in this enterprise, let them have the survey made at once, and wheu operations are begun let it be simultaneously done at both Green Fond and Branchville, expending as they go equal amounts ou both ends of this road. The work of laying the rails ou the Savannah Vailey Railroad i9 being. actively pushed forward. The con structioa party have arrived at the-, river, and are now putting up the tem'-porary bridge, which will soon be fin-1 ished, when the cars will pass over the stream and track-laving will be continued. The people of Johnstony Edgefield county, are making efforts to raise such a subscription as will place Johnston on the line of the road which it ie j proposed to run from Greenville to i Port Royal, or some point on the Atlantic coast. At a meeting recently held at Johnston Capt. P. B. Waters I and Mr. W. J. Huiet were elected delegates to a railroad meeting to discuss this matter, which will be held at Ninety-Six oy the 13th instant. The friends and advocates of the narrow gauge road from Augusta to Newberry met at Edgefield Courthouse last Monday to discuss the building of that road and the branch road from Ninety-six to the main line. It is expected that the people along the proposed route from Ninety-Six to the main line will build that part of the road by private subscriptions. It is estimated that the main line can be built for $100,000. The Edgefield Chronicle says "that the bright visions looked for from the j several railroad projects in view nave undoubtedly failed to bring any wave of business prosperity to Edgefield. It is about time now for the people to stop dreaming and wailing and go to work and btiild a narrow gauge railroad." The Abbeville Press and Banner.', speaking of the proposition to levy a tax to grade the proposed road from Enright's to Abbeville andGreenwood, ?ays: "If our people desire to levy a :ax ior a roaa wn:cn woaia promise a fair retnrn we will, no doubt,"make no objection. Bnt we certainly will not join a crusade to levy the tax when -here is manifest opposition. We are >pposed to lynch la\r; no matter whether applied to persons or propery."

CAPITAL SOCIAL GOSSIP. Whitney acd Bayard to Content for Social Supremacy--Points About Other Leader*. (Washington Letter in Cleveland Leader.) Secretary Whitney will contest with Secretary Bayard as the most popular social member of the Cabinet during the coming season. He has rented the old Frelinghaysen mansion, which was the social centrc of Mr. Arthur's administration, and is adding a large ball-room for this winter's entertainments. This ball-room will be nearly as big as the city council chamber in Cleveland, and will, it is said, be hang with gobelin tapestries. Whitney has more money than Bayard, and, though he cannot cook the terrapin for his dinners himself like the Secretary of Stat?, he can hire a French cook who will probably eqaal him. Bayard ought nor to expect to save much' out of his salary as Secretary t?f State, even if he does do his own cooking. His position demands more social wrtrlr fk?r? ?nv nthor nnfftirlp nf f.hflt O theTredctent," and he is a parsimonious man indeed who can lay up money in it. Mr.:?Varts paid out $20,000 more than his'salary while he was Secretary of State under Hayes, thus making his fonr years eo6t hiih. $52,000. Bayard will get through on less than this, but be has a fkruilv and he wears too good clothes ana has too tasty a stomach to save anything on $8,000* a year. Vice-President Hcndricks will live at Willard's during the coming season.

I don't think she i will have as many callers as when she was in the stuffy "little boarding-house on Twelfth street.- She is too much out of the way, and it is a Sabbath day's journey to get to her. The reftiiff. will He that hftr ealHnfrtisfc will be redoced lo those who really want to see her? and that it will rather select than large. Henry "B. Payne will keep house next year, and I understand he has rented on Vermont ayinue near the Portland. This will r.ot be a great distance from his son-in-law, and Mrs. Whitney will assist her mother in many of her receptions. Whitney's actions in regard to entertainment lead to the suggestion that Henry B. Payne and he raav be concocting a scheme: whereby young Whitney shall be the. Presidential candidate for 1888, and that his father-in-law maiy make him his heir to his Presidential support. The opportunities for such a postPresidential campaign are excellent. There is plenty of money in WhitneyPayne "barT' to ran it well, and Mr. Whitney comes from the right State to make a good Democratic candidate. This is worth thinking aboat, and please don't forget it. A MISPLACED SWITCH. A Frightful Wreck on the Baltimore and .Ohio Railroad. A frightful wreck occurred at Bluestone quarry nearv Pittsburg, Pa , on the Baltimore aiid Ohio railroad, at seven o'clock ou Thursday morning. Train No. 12, through express from Baltimore to Pittsburg, consisting of a sleeper, two caches, two baggage and one express car, ran into a misplaced switch and was completely wrecked. The sleeper rolled over an embankment into the Youghionhcny river. The other cars were upset and the whole train was detached from the engine. Sixteen persons were injured but none killed outright. The report of the wreck reached Pittsburg about 9 o'clock and caused great excitement, as it was known that many prominent raeu of Pittsburg were expected on the train. The accident disarranged the telegraph wires and it was after 10 o'clock before the following particulars of the accident were received: The express train was about fifteen minutes late wbeu it reached the place where the wreck occurred.

Whether some one had left the switch partly open or not is not certain. The officials of. the road say the switch had been tampered with, evidently with the intention of causing a wreck. Had the switch been open the train would have gone into it all right and would have been stopped before any damage had been done. As it was", the train could go on neither track. Ihe result wasv that the engine dashed along the ties, tearing up the track and causing the coaches and sleeping cars to break loose and ,i.A iVi: ? ?un uosu vii wci t tie cuiuitu&iucui .iu mc wildest confasion.

There were many passengers on board. The scene that followed was one that beggared description. The cms of the injured were heard from every car. The frightened sprang.from the windows and straggled with each other to escape from the rolling cars, and the wails of pain were heard from some who were held within the wreck.

The crop report of the National department of agrieulture says that the cotton returns of November are local estimates of the yield per acre. They are somewhat higher than those of the last two years, bat materially lower than thnsp nf onrl Th<? in crease over the yield of last year is most marked in Tennessee and Georgia. In Arkansas and Tennessee, where the average vieid is unusually high, the rate depressed by unfavorable conditions of August and September. The rate of yield by States is as follows: Virginia 152 pounds per acre, North Carolina 157, South Carolina 142, I Geornia 150, Florida 105, Alabama 145, Mississippi 165, Louisiana 223, Texas ! 182, Arkansas 200, Tennessee 155. The weather has been favorable for picking, and killing1 frosts are only reported in the northern border of "the cotton belt. The top crop is very light and in many places a scarcely "appreciable quantity. The drought during the early fruiting period caused shedding or shrivelling of bolls, and reduced the yield in North and South Carolina and parts of Texas. Iq a large portion of the Gulf ccast there was an excess of rain and destructive storms which proved almost equally injurious. Injury by caterpillars aud boll worms have been severe in Central Alabama, in parts of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and in a few counties in Georgia. Small loss from insects is reported, except in States bordering on the Gulf coast. The past month has been generally favorable for picking, which is well advanced, more than ' three-fourths of the crop having been gathered. Rains have interfered with the harvesting ' - * n ?

With good weather hereafter the proportion to be gathered iri December will be confined :td localities favored with a top crop worth harvesting. The present crop of corn is the first fall average ia the rate of yield since 1880, which was the last of a series of six full crops of 26 .to 28 bushels per acrc. The present crop; grown oil an area of 73,000,000 to 74,000,000 acres, is slightly above the average for a period of ten years or 26$ bushels per acre. The highest rate of yield is 36$ in Nebraska and Ohio. Three corn growing States will prodace fourtenths of the entire crop, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, each average several bushels per acre less than in ihe census year, Illinois 3L,Towa 32, Missouri 30. Utah averages 36, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado 35, New-. Hampshire and Rhode Island 34, Michigan 33, Wisconsin 32, Kansas 31. The Southern States makes an average yield. The quality of corn is Tery good in the East and Sonth, medium in central parts ot the West, and somewhat depreciated on the northern border from Michigan to Dakota. The potato crop is smaller than thai of 1884? in consequence of injury from rot. which has reduced the New York crop nearly one-third. There is much complaint of rot in Wisconsin and Iowa, and in some couuties in Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota.

Orangeburg, November 2. To the Editor of the Nercs and Courier: I have cultivated tobacco for my own use for smoking purposes, for the last twenty years, and will give you my experience with it for the benefit of your readers who contemplate giving it a trial next year. First. For the seed-bed select some open spot in the woods where there are not many tall frees, as too much shade retards the growth of the plants, while some shade is advantageous. Early in January, if not sooner, make a large brush or log heap on the bed ana burn it tborougnjy. l men spaae up the soil about ten or twelve inches deep and again burn a brush heap upon it, and then let the spot stand for a week or two, or until there comes a shower of rain upon it, when I again spade the ground (four or fivo inches this time), so as to have it in the best tilth. I then scatter the seeds over the spot and brush them in very shallow, the seeds being so very small you have to be very careful or vou will have them too thick. If too thick 011 the bed they are apt to be spindling and; are easily wilted down : when taken to the field. Otherwise they will be stout and in better condition to withstand the rays of the sun. Plant beds on old lands do not thrive nearly so well as in the woods. :'; Second. In this latitude I find the worms a very troublesome euemy to the leaf and also to the seed tliat is leit to mature, if tne oug mat ueposits the eggs is not eradicated the weeds should he looked after twice if not three times a week. Worming does not commence, however, until some time in June or about the first of July and continues until the tobacco is ready for the knife, but not so ;much after the leaves begin to get tough as when young. If any worms should be left on the stocks that arc put in the house for natural dryiug they will there destroy the tobacco. This danger is not hard to overcome, however, particularly if artificial heat is resorted to for drying purposes. Third. If the ground is in full tilth and a good stand is obtained early, a second crop can be made from the stubble. . I have two kinds, of seed, mixed; one a narrow leaf, the other a very large, broad leaf. ^Tbe narrow leaf is finer and yellower than the broad leaf, out toe oroaa ieai win grow laner ana heavier; and make Sir : greater yield side by side I have no seed for sale, as I only keep enough for myself and a few neighbors, F.
