And never seems to tire,
This Jittle nan in babyc'othes
Who's fail of youthful fire.

And never will be still,

Who Jives at"Copenhiii,
He wanders underneath the trees
With his beloved Pat.
A little fuzzy dog
Who's death to tvery rat.
He talks atout the sun and mf on
In his peculiar way
His mamma understands him, though
In all he has to say.
He is just the dearest little chap
Who loves to laugh and peep
At one and all and little arms
Around my neck will creep.
And then he always has to grunt
He loves so awfully hard:
This little man in baby clothes
I pray the Lord to guard.
FROM YOUTH TO AGE.
Rev. Dr. Inter<?tlEK D'accnrse
Ihrocgfc the Press.
Brooklyn, July 8.?Rev. Dr. Talmage,
who is now nearing the antipodes
on his round the world journey, has
selected as the subject for his sermon
through tne press tcdav "The Rustic In
the Palace," the text being taken from
Genesis xlv, 28, "I will go and see him
before I die."
Jacob had long since passed the hundred
year milestone. In. those times
people were distinguishe- for longevity.
In the centuries afterward persons lived j
to great age. Galen, the most celebrated
physician of his time, took so little of his j
own medicine that he lived to 140 years.
A man of undoubted veracity on the
witness stand in England swore that he
remembered an event 150 before. Lord
Bacon speaks ot a ccuntess who had cut
three sets of teeth and died at 140 years.
Joseph Crele of Pennsylvania lived 140
years. In 1857 a^book was printed containing
the names of 37 persons who
lived 140 years and the names of 11 persons
who lived 150 yea::s.
Among the grand olc'l people of whom,
we have record was Jacob, the shepherd
cf the text. But he had a bad lot of boys.
They were jealous and ambitious and ev
ery way unprincipled/ Joseph, however,
seemed to be and exceptien, but he had
been gone many years and the probability
was that he was dead. As Sometimes
nr?w in a hnna* vnn will find kfirfc
at the table vacant chair, a plate, a knife,
a tork, for some deceased member of tbs
family, so Jacob kept in-his heart a
place for his beloved Jopeph. There sits
the old man, the flock of 140 years ia
their flight having alighted lor?g enough
to leave the marks oi their claw on forehead
and cheek and temple. His Iod?
beard snows down over his chest. ELs
eyes are somewhat dim, and he can see
farther when they arejjiosed than when
they are open, for he can see clear back
into the time when beautiful Rachel, bis
wiie, was living, and his children shook
the oriental abode with their merriment.
The centenarian is sitting dreaming
over the past when he bears a wagon
rumbling to the front door. He gets cp
and goes to the door to see who has arrived,
and his long absent sons from
Egypt come in and announce to him
mac josepo, msieaa 01 Demg aeaa, is
living in an Egyptian palace'.with all the
investiture of prime minister next to the
king in the mightest empire of all the
woild! The news was too sadden aad
too glad for t'je old man, and his cheeks
whiten, and he has a dszed lock, a:id
his staff falls cnt of his hand, ana he
would have dropped had not the soqs
caught him and led him to a lounse aad
put cold water on his face and fanned
him a little,
la that hall delirium the old man
mumbles something about his son Joseph.
Heaays: "You don't mean Joseph,
do you?my dear son, who has been
dead?o long? You don't mean Joseph,
do you?" But after they had fully reaucitated
him and the news was confirmed
tears hecrin their windinc way
down the crossroads of the wrinkles, and
the sunken lips of the old man quiver,
and he brings his bent fingers together
as he says: "Joseph is yet alive. I will
go and see him before I die."
It did not take the old man a great
while to get ready, I warrant you. He
put on the best clothes that the shepherd's
wardrobe could afford. He got
into the wagon, and though the aged are
cautious and like to ride slow the wagon
did not get along fast enough for this old
man, and when the wagon with the old
man met Joseph's chariot coming down
to meet him, and Joseph got cut ot the
chariot and got into the wagon and tt::ew
his iirms around his father's neck, it, was
an antithesis of royalty and rusticity,
nf ojmnlimtif onH nnmr\ filiol
and paternal love, which leaves us so
much in doubt about whether we had
better laugh or cry that we do both. So
Jacob kept the resolution of the text. "I
will go ard see him before I die."
What a strong and unfailing thing is
parental attachment! Was it not almost
time for Jacob to forget Joseph?
The hot suns of many summers had
blazed on the heath; the riTer Nile had
overflowed and receded, overflowed and
receded again and again; the seed had
been sown and harvest reaped. Stars
rose and set. Years of plenty and years
of famine had passed on, but the love of
Jacob for Joseph in my test is overwhelmingly
dramatic. Oh, that is a
cord that is not snapped, though pulled
on by many decades! Though when
the little child expired the parents may
not have been more than 25 > ears of
age and now they are 75, yet the vision
of the cradle- and the childish face, and
th<5 first utterances of the Infantile lips
are fresh today, iu spile of the passage of
a half century. Joseph was as fresh in
Jacob's memory as ever, though at 17
years of age the boy had disappeared
from the old homestead. I fonnd in
our > family record the story of an infant
that had died 50 years before, and I 3aid
to my parents, "What is this record,
and what does it mean?" Their chief
answer was a long, deep sigh. It was
jet to them a very tender sorrow.
What does that all mean? Why, it
means our children departed are ours
yet, and that cord of attachment reaching
across the years will hold us until it
brings us together in the palace, as Jacob
and Joseph were brought together. That
is one thing that make old people die
happy. They realize it is reunion with
tnoae" from whom they have long been
seperatad.
I am often asked as pastor, and every
pastor is asked the question, "will my
crularen De cauaren in neaven ana iorever
children?" Well, there was no
doubt a great change in Joseph from the
time Jacob lost him and the time when
Jacob found him?between the boy 17
years ot age and the man in midlife, his
torehead developed with the great business
of state, but Jacob was glad to get
Joseph back anyhow, and it did not
make much difference to the old man
whether the boy looked older or looked
younger. And it, will be encugh }oy for
that parent if he can get back that son,
that daughter, at the sate of heaven,
whether the departed loved one shall
come a cherub or in full grown angel
ttood. 'mere mc^t De a cnange wrought
by that celestial climate and by those
supernal years, but it will ODly be from
loveliness to mere loveliness, and from
health to more radiant health.

sreat future as God .Joseph was Joseph
aotwitbstafd the paiace, and your child
will be your child notwithstanding all
the raining splectlors of everlasting
noon. What a thrillin - visit was
that of the eld shepherd to the
prime minister, Joseph! I see the
old countryman s< attd in the palace
lock'ng around at tie mirrors, and the
Icuntaics, and the carved pillars, and
ob, hew he wishes '.bat Rachel, his wife
was alive and she c:uldtave ccme there
with him to see their son Iri this great
house! "Oh," says the Old man within
himself, "I do wisn llachel could be
here io see ail this!"
I visited at the 'armheuse of tbe father
cf Millard Fi Imore when the son
was president oi the United Slates and
the octogenarian farmer entertained me
until 11 o'clock at night, telling me
what great things he sa v in his son's
house at Washington, and what Daniel
Webster said to hit3, and how srrandly
Millard treated bb lather In the While
House. The old n.an'a face was illumined
with the story until almost the
midnight. lie had ja3t been visiting his
son at me capuai. acu i sup^u^c it
was something of the same .py that
thrilled the heart of the old shepherd as
he stood m the palace of the prime minister.
It is a great day with ycu when your
old parents come to visit jou. Your
little children stand around with great
wide open eye3, woadering how anybody
could be 30 old. The parents cannot
stay many days, :cr they are a little
restless, and espec ally at nightfall, because
they sleep tetter in their o^n
bed, but while the 7 tarry you somehow
feel there is a benediction in evervroom
in the house. Th(:y are a little feeble,
acd ycu make It as easy a3 you can for
them, and vcu rea::z2 luey wm prooablv
not visit you very often?perhaps
never again You go to their room after
they bave retired ?,t night to see it the
lights are properly put out, for ihe old
people understood candle and lamp better
than the mcderu apparatus for illumination.
In the mornipg, with real
interest in their teallh, you ask Ihsm
how they rested h st night.
Joseph, in the historical scene of the
text, did not think any more of his father
than you do of your parents. The
probability is, be :ore they leave your
hcuse they half spoil your children with
kindness. Grand ather and grandmother
are more lenient and indulgent to
yoar children thar thsy were with you.
And what wonde r ol revelation in idc
bombazine pocke, of the one and the
sleeve of the other. Blessed is that
home where Christian parents come to
visit! Whatever may have been the
style of architecture when they came, it
is a palace before they leave. If they
; visit ycu 50 times, the two mo3t memoI
rable visits will be the first and the last.
Those two pictures will hang in the
1 hall of your memory while memory lasts
and you will remember just how they
looked, and where they sat, and what
they said, and at what figure of the cirpet,
and at what doorsill thev parted
with ycu, giving you tbe final goodbye.
Do not be embarrassed if ycur father
come to town and he have the manners
of the shepherd, and if ycur mother
come to town and there be in her hat no
sign of costly millinery. The wife of
the Emperor Tlieodosius said a wise
thing when ehe said, "Husbands, remember
what yc u lately were, and re.
member what ycu are, and be thankful,"
By this time you all notice what kindly
provision Josuph made for his father,

have the old nun around this place.
How clumsy he would look climbing up
these marble s;airs and walking over
these mosaxs! Tnen he would be putting
his hands upon some of these fiescoes.
People *ould wonder where that
old greenhorn came from. He would
shock ali the Egyptian court with his
manners at tabic. Besides that he might
get sick on my Lands, and he might be
querulous, and lie might talk to me as
though I were only a boy, when I am
the second man in all the realm. Of
coarse he must not suffer, and it there
is famine in his country?and I hear
there is?I will send some provisions,
but I can't take a man from 1'adanaram
and introduce him into this polite Egyptian
court. What a nuisance it is to
hare poor relations!"
Joseph did not say that but he rushed
out to meet his father with perfect abandon
of a flection and brought him up to
the palace and introduced him to the
emperor and provided for all the rest of
t.hp. father's davs. and nothing was too
good foi the old man while living:. And
when he was dead, Joseph, with military
escort, took his lather's remains to
the family cemetery. Would God ail
children were as kind to their parents!
If the fattier have large property, an d
he bo wise enough to keep it in in his
own name, he will be respected by the
heirs, but how often it is when the son
finds his father in famine, as Joseph
found Jacob in famine, the youDg people
make it very hard for the old mati! They
are so surprised he eats with a knife in'

his antediluvian habits. They are provoked
because he cannot hear as well as
he used t'o, and when he asks It over
again, and the son has to repeat it, he
bawls in the old man's ear. UI hope yon
hear thai!" How long he mu3t wear
the old coat or the old hat before they
get him a new one! How chagrined
they are at his independence of the Eaglish
grammai! How long he hangs on!
Seventy years and not gone yet! Seventy
five years and not gone yet! Eighty
years and not gone yst! Will he ever
gc? They think it is of no use to have a
doctor in his last sickness, and go up to
the drug store, and get a dose of something
that mases him worse, and economy
on a cofiin, and beat the undertaker
down to the last point, giving a note
for the reduced amount which they never
pay. i nave omciatea ai ooseqaies oi
aged people where the family have been
so inordinately resigned to providence
thai I felt like taking my text Irom
Proverbs, "The eye that mocketh at
its father and refuseth to obey its mother,
the ravena ot the valley shsll pick it
out, and the young eagles shall eat it."
In other words, such an ingrate ought
to have a flock af crows for pallbearers!
I congratulate you if you have the
honor ot providing for aged parents.
The blestisg of the Lord God of Joseph
and Jacob will be on yon.
I rejoice to remember that, though
my father lived in a plain he use the
ronaf: of his riftvs. he died in a mansion
provided by the filial piety of a son who
had achieved a fortune. There the octogenarian
sat and the servants waited
on him, and there were plenty of car*
riages to convey him, and a bower in
which to sit on long summer afternoons,
dreaming ot the past, and there wa3 not
a rocm in the hcuse where he was not
welcome, and there were musical instruments
of all sorts to regale him, and
when life had passed the neighbors came
out and expressed ail honor possible
and carried him to the village Machpelah
and put him down beside the Rachel
with whom he bad lived more than
half a century. Share your successes
with the old people. The probability
is that the principles they inculcated
achieved your fortune. Give them a
Christian pt rcentage of kindly consideration.
Let Joseph divide with Jacob
iha r>oofjirA fiald* r>f finahen and the
glories of the Egyptian court.
And here I would like to sing the
praises of the sisterhood who remain
unmarried that they might administer
to aged parents. The brutal world
calls these self sacrificing ones peculiar
or angular, but if you had had as many
annoyances as they have had Xantippe

you. It is easier to take care of
five rollicking, romping children, than
of one childish old man. Among the
best woman are those who allowed the
bloom of life to pass away while they
were caring for their parents. While
other maidens were sound asleep they
were soaking the old man's feet or
tucking up the covers around the invalid
mother. While other maidens
were in the cotillon they were dancing
attendance upon rheumatism, and
spreading plasters for the lame back
of the septenarian, and heating catnip
tea for insomnia.
In almost every circle of our kindred

1 may say in regard to the most of
you that your parents have probably
visited you for last time or will soon
pay you such a visit, and I have wondered
if they will ever visit you in the
king's palace. "Oh," you say, "I am in
the pit of sin!" Joseph was in the pit.
I "Oh," you say, "I am in the prison of
mine iniquity!" Joseph was once in
j prison. "Ob," you say, "X didn't have
I a fair chance. I wa3 denied maternal
kindness!" Josepn was aemeu uuaieruai
attendance. "Oh"yousay, I am far
away from the land of my nativity!"
Joseph was far from home. "Oh," you
say, "I have been betrayed and exasperated!"
Did not Joseph's brethren
sell him to a passing Ishmaelitish caravan?
Yet God brought him to that
emblazoned residence, and if you will
trust his grace in Jesus Christ you, too,
will be empalaced.
Oh, what a day that will be when the
old folks come from an adjoining mansion
in heaven and find you amid the

living with the King! They are coming
up the steps now, and the epauleted
guard of the palace rushes in and says,
"Your father's coming, your mother's
coming!" And when under the arches
of precious stones and on the pavement
of porphyry you greet each other the
sc?ne will eclipse the meeting on the
Goshen high/eay, when Joseph and Jacob
fell on each other's neck and wept
a good while.
But, oh, how changed the old folks
will be! Their cheek smoothed into
the flesh of a little child. Their stooped
posture lifted into immortal symmetry.
Their foot now so feeble, then with the
sprightlines of a bounding roe, as they
shall say to you, "A spirit passed this
way from earth and told us that you
were wayward and dissipated after we
left the world, but you have repented,
our prayer has been answered, and you
are here. And as we used to visit you
on earth before we died now we visit
you in your new home after cur ascension."
And father will say, "Mother,
don't you see Joseph is yet alive ?" and
mother will say, "Yes, father, Josheph
is yet alive." And then they will talk
over their earthly anxieties in regard
to you, and the midnight supplications
I in your behalf, and they will recite to
each other the oia scripture passage
with which they used to cheer their
staggering faith, "I will be a God to
thee aad thy seed after thee." Oh, the
palace, the palace, the palace! That is
what Richard Baxter called "the saints'
everlasting rest." That is what John
Bunyan called the "Celestial City."
That is Young's "Night Thoughts"
turned into morning exultations. That
is Gray's "Elegy In a Churchyard"
turned to resurrection spetacle. That
is the "Cotter's Saturday Night" exchanged
for the cotter's Sabbath morning.
That is the shepherd of Salisbury
plains amid the flocks on the hills of
heaven. That is the famine struck Padanaram
turned into the rich pasture
fields of Goshen. That is Jacob visiting
Joseph at the emerald castle.
A Florida Horror.
Jacksonville Fla, July 14.?Two
months ago near Jensen, in this State,
Miss Kaiser, a pretty giri, was murdered.
Her head was severed from ber
body. The girl bad been attacked while
in the woods near ber home and an attempt
had been made to assault her.
Xo clue was found at the time to the
murderer, though several parties were
under suspicion. The case dropped out
of publie notice until this afternoon,
when Marcelius Hardee, a young man
belonging to a wealthy and promiment
fattily ot -Jensen, was arrested for ine
crime. Detective Rhodes, of Baltimore,
worked up the case and he claims to
have plenty of evidence against Hardee.
He says ibat Hardee met the girl and
made an improper proposal to her. This
she resented and then Hardee attempted
to assault ber. The girl fought him
and Hardee used a knife, severing her
heart from the body.

Buried beneath the ruins. It is impossible
as yet to give the number of people
killed and injured, bat it is known that
over 150 people are buried beneath the
debris. The Regie tobacco factory and
other houses at Djouvali have been seriously
damaged and several persons have
been killed in that quarter. The shock
was very severe at the Princes Island.
At Prinkipo the Orthodox church and

the village of Adabaz&ar has been completely
wiped out of existence. No
English or American victims are reported
from any part of the earthquake-shaken

ScoTTDALE.Pa., July 9.?One hundred
armed negroes marched into
Scottdale today. They carried revolvers
and clubs. When Burgess Robinson
ordered them to disperse they opened
fire on him. Then Burgess called a
number of citizens to his assistance
and a general riot resulted. The negroes
ran pursued by 1,000 citizens.
Fully 200 shots were fired. Two negroes
were shot, one fatally and others
were badly beaten. They escaped to
Fayette county and went to McClure's
Works, where they are said to be recruiting
forces, preparatory to making
an attack on the towz. The wildest
excitement prevails. The Burgess has

it for him. 1

day before, hence he is guilty of false- j
hood and cowardice in the same breath. '

Darlington county and the State at large.
Governor Tillman charges me wilh being
in the pay of Wall street. I sell llonr
for J. A. 0. Mocre, broker, Darlington,
and one of Tillman's best friend3. 1 am |
also agent for the Home Supply Association
of Chicago. Because I will no longer
worship the false and ugly God, 1
Tillman, I am to be slandered by this 1
3elfish, mean fraud; for he is nothing but
a fraud, a traitor to the Reform Move- 1
ment and to the Alhaace. 1
One of the first acts of treachery was 1
to the Reformers of Darlington county
in making an appointment which was m j
violation of his solemn pledge made in :
his first address at this place in 1890 and
reiterated to several gentlemen in his of* '
fice in Columbia. Then violation after 1
violation of his pledges to the Alliance
at Spartanburg m 1891, and May con- 1
venticn, 1892. Tillman is in the inter- !
est and I believe, in tbe pay 01 Tammany
Hall. Tillman denies voting tor
Hill at Chicago. I don't believe he can 1
prove it, and, if he does, he can not disprove.
his advocacy of Hill before tbe
convention at Chicago, for he took the 1
delegation (all that he could inflaence) 1
one night to Tammany Wigwam, where
we were introduced to Croker, Bourke '
Cockran, Cummings, et, al, wined and
cigared Tillman, and if he gets to the
Senate he will only have Hill to welcome
him. He has ?ilified and abused E'opulists,
Democrats, and Republicans alike. 1
Tillman wrote one of his henchmen here :
that I was traveling in Edgefield tn the (
interest of General Butler. General
Butler was kind to me in the war and I \
prefer Butler to Tillman, thereby no
principle involved. Butler ia an honorable,
brave soldier and an old soldier 1
knows how to meet ?u:h a man. Ex- 1
perience of four years, often in contact 1
with Tillman has lead me to judge him
a cold, selfish, cru^l and cowardly man. '
I thought at the time that I saw evidence
of his cowardice at Florence in
1892, and so stated to a f sw friends at >'
the time, and I have seen more evidence
of his cowardice at Chester and Oats.
If the Alliance of South Carolina will
support such a man, who plainly te'.ls
them why they can do so, I, for one, 1
will draw the line right here and say I j
will support Butler until a simonpure
Allianceman is put out. If the true
Ailiancemen of Darlington county will
allow an office holder, coat-tail swinger,
dependent on Tillman, to carry thsm
into a packed caucus to pu3h aside true
and tried Ailiancemen for a shyster law.
yer, an eleventh hour convert, why Ihey
can do if, but I will oppose such methods
and fiajht such a candidate. Oae word
to the true one-gallus boys who followed
Tillman on so blindly and who swallow
every word he says. If you, the poor
tenant white farmers, who rent lands
and to whom Governor Tillman is so
fond of appealing, if you lived iu Edgefleled
near Governor Tillman's tenantry
place, and wanted land of him, you could
not get it. He has not a white tenant,
all are negroes and his neighbors say
that he will not have a white man on
his place. Any further information on
this line will be furnished on application
to D. C. Bullock, Esq., (farmer,) Nine^

and high standing, a descendant of Rsvolutionary
ancestors, and lives on land of
Sires who fought in 177G at Ninety-Six.
In conclusion 1 ask the Reformers of
Darlington county, what has Tillman
done for you? Has he out of his abundance,
contributed one cent to anything
here? Our paper went down; did be ever
pay his subscription? Has any Reform
enterprise or work every gotten a cent
from Ben Tillman; and in the least of
the epithets cast upon him, so justly,
cannot I add one more any say stingy
Ben Tillman? Who will follow longer
a shelCsh, cruel, cowardly and stingy
man, however able he may be? In the
end he will disappoint us.

Two Brothers Executed.
Raleigh, N. C., July 13.?Two
brothers. Tom and Calvin Coley, white j
men, aged 20 and 22, were Hanged today
at Louisburg, the execution being private.
The rope used to hang Calvin
had been used on seven prior occasions
during the last ten years.
The condemned men were unable to
read or write, had never been to school
nor inside of any church. They refused
to make any statement but indicated
that they had not intended to
commit murder. Two ministers visited
them in the jaiJ, aDd they expressed
the hope of being forgiven for their
sins.
In Juns, 1892, these men and Charles
Tucker, a Jewish peddler, met at the
house of two negro women in Franklin
county, N. C., and all drank. Calvin
Coley incited his brother, and thev killed
Tucker with an axe and carried his
body into a neighboring thicket and
covered it with brush. Finding in his
pack $169, they went to Norfolk.
A year afterwards the crims was dismvftred.
the entire party was arrested,
the women turned State's evidence
and the men were convicted. An immense
crowd gathered around the jail
today to see the execution, which, however,
was strictly private. The men
met their fate without emotion. The
neck of Tom was broken by the fall;
Calvin died in eighteen minutes of
strangulation.
Troops Ditched.
Saceamento, July 11.?The first
train to leave Sacramento with troops
was ditched on a trestle ei?ht miles
from Washington, Yolo county. The
wrecked train was bound for San Francisco.
Regular troops were stationed
on the engine and upon each car. Reports
differ, one is that fish plates had
been removed from the rails, allowingthem
to spread, and another is thac
the timbers of a trestle had been sabred
nearly through causing it to coi'lapse
under the weight of the train. The
engine and four cars were down.
There was no shooting at-the' train as
first reported. The kil^.d are Engineer

hour tonight Prewderi Cleveland issued
the following proclamation:
Whereas, by reason of unlawful obstructions,
combination and assemblages
Df persons ii has become impracticable
in the .judgment of the President to enforce
by the ordinary coarse of judicial
proceedings the laws of the United
States of Illinois, and especially within
the city of Chicago within said State:
And whereas, for the purpose of enforcing
the faithful execution of the
law3 of the United States, and protecting
its property and removing obsiruc
tion3 to the United States mails in ths
State and city aforesaid, the President
has employed a part of the military
forces cf the United States:
Now, therefore. I, Grover Cleveland,
President cr the United States, do hereby
admonish all good citizens and all persons
who may be within the city and
State 'aforesaid, against aiding, countenancing,
encouraging or taking any part
in such unlawfal obstructions, combinations
and assemblages; and I hereby
worn all n^rsnns encflorgd in. or in anv
way connected with, such unlawful obstructions,
combinations ana assemblages
to disperse and reiire peaceabiy to
their respective abodes on or before 12
o'clock noon, on the 9th day o? July in
stant.
Those who disregarded this warning
and persisted in taking part with a riotous
mob in forcibly resistiug and obstructing
the execution of the laws of
the United States interfering with tbo
functions of the Government or destroying
or attempting to destroy the property
belonging to the United States or under
its protection, cannot be regarded
otherwise than as public enemies.
Troops employed against scuch a riotuous
mob will act with all the moderation
and forbearance consistent with the accomplishment
of the dashed end, but the
stern necessities thait-eecfront them will
not with certainlv permit "dtseiajpation
between guilty participants and tfio? .
who are mingled with them from curiosity
and without criminal intent. The only
3afe course, therefore, for those not actually
unlawfully participating is to
abide at their homes, or at least not to
be fouod in the neighborhood of riotous
Basemblies.
While there will ba no hesitation cr
vacillation in the decisive treatment
of the guilty, this warning is especially
intended to protect and save the innocsnt.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
3et my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
8th day of July, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and ninetyfour,
and of the independence of the
United States of America the one hundred
and eigteentb.
Grover Cleveland.
By the President; W. Q. Gresham,
Secretary of Stace.
The proclamation was communicated
to Gen. Miles by Secretary Lamont, who
telegraphed as follows: ."In view of the
provisions of th? statue and for purpose
of giving ample warning to all innocent
and well disposed persons, the President
has deemed it best to issue the accompanying
proclamation tonight. This
dees not change the scope of your authority
and duties, nor jour relations to
the local authorities. You will please
make this known to Mayor Hopkins ."
Three People Shot Down.
Danville, LI., July 9.?Mrs. Mitchel
Glennan and Miss Clara James were
killed and one unknown man mortally
wounded and at WestvilJe this afternoon
by a volley fired over the heads
of a crowd of rioting miners by a company
of militia. The miner3 had been
rioting in this vicinity since yesterday
afternoon. During last night a number
of freight cars were destroyed on me
Eastern Illinois yards by incendiary
lires. This forenoon a number of cars
were derailed at Grape Creek on the
Shelbyville branch. Where the wreckage
had been cleared the in-bound passenger
train proceeded without molestation
until Westville was reached.
When it stopped there it was surrounded
by a crowd of miners and word was
telegraphed to Danville and a special
train with a company of State troops
started at once for the scene of trouble.
About one mile from Westville a large
crowd of miners had collected and upon
the approach of the train bearing thel
militia began warlike demonstrations.
** -3 4-U /->
Several pisto.i snots were ureu at wc
soldiers, who returned the fire, shooting
over tne head3 of the mob from the
train, intending to scare them. Miss
ClaraJame, the 17 year old daughter
of Jonas James, was standing in the
door way of her home. A bullet struck
her just below the right breast^and she
died almost instantly. Mrs. Michael
Glennan, a widow, standing mher own
yard, was also struck and died in five
minutes. An unknown man received a
mortal wound and will die beforenight.
The militia then left the train and
charged the crowd,securing three prisoners.
After this the crowd dispersed
and no further resistance being offered,
the troops returned to their train which
had been coupled in front of the passenger
and made the trip to Danville
without further delay.
B iirued the Tent.
Wilkesbaree, July 11.?The greatest
excitement prevails in Miners Mills
three miles north of here, owing to the
burning of the Moody gospel tent. The
tent was being pitched in various portions
of the Wyoming valley for the
past month, and by an alliance of all
the clergymen and united chorus choirs

Moody and Sanky. Major Whittle, Mr.

assistants, several hundred people have
been led to the churches. The night's
meeting waa the first for which the
tent had been used at Miners Mills, it
having jusi been taken there from
Ashley. After the services Watchman
George Thompson was left in charge.
At midnight he saw two suspicious
characters around. They were surprised
at seeing a watcnmaD, and ran
off without replying to his challenge.
Later the same two appeared and engaged
his attention at one side of the
tent, while an accomplice crept up and
threw a quantity of oily waste on the
canvass and set it on fire, and escaped
without his identity being discovered,
and Watchman Thompson can only
give a general description of the men.

IMPROVED CROP CONDIHONS.
The Weekly Bulletin ot ihe W>*th?r sad
Crops.
Columbia, S. C.. July 11.?The following
Is the weekly bulletin of the
condition of the weather and crops
about the State for the past weeK, as
issued yesterday by Observer Bauer of
the State weather serviced
The weather during the past week
favored the rapid growth of all crops
and continued to afford opportunity
for repairing and planting minor food
and forage crops, such as peas, potatoes
and turnips, and so forth, and
the acreage of such crops promises to
be the largest ever known in many
sections. Such croDs deserve greater
attention than is generally accorded
them in the system of economy of the
Southern planters and farmers, and
together with vegetable and fruit gardens
should more largely supplant
strictly "money crops" than is at
present the case. The increase in acreage
is, therefore, an encouraging sign.
The temperature for tbe week ranged
below the normal, averaging about 4
degrees a day on the coast to about 1
degree a day in the interior and western
portion, and this with more than
double the usual cloudiness has developed
a tendency in cotton to shed its
fruit in a few localities, and favored
an almost too rapid growth of "weed"
everywhere. The rainfall was more
general than heretofore and in the
southeastern portions of the State vpas
excessive to the point of serious impairment
of the crops. Portions of
Pickens. Fairfield and Spartanburg
counties are comparatively dry and
need rain.
Cotton made rapid growth and is
generally fruiting welJ, bat the wet
ground has prevented ploughing to a
considerable extent and consequently
some fields are becoming grassy. As
yet no material injury has been done
by the grass or lack ot sunshine, and
the crop is in fine condition over the
whole Scate. It needs more sunshine
to favor fruiting ana to check Its tendency
to grow to weed.
Corn improved very much and even
that of early planting is responding to
the pushing weather, .although the
stalks of such com are in many places
reported "spindling". "Laying by" is
being delayed by the wet weather, but
will soon be general. Peas are still
being sown but seed are getting scapee.
Early sown a poor stand, that-Sown on
stubble .since the rain ^efrin, growing
nicely. Potato slips or vines in demand
for settings, the planting of
which continues quite general. The
melon crop falls below expectations,
bein,? a small crop of small melons, al
* ^
mougu borne uuo neiuo aic ic^uj.o&u.
Rice, tobacco, sorghum,. potatoes and
garcens as well as grasses all show
marked improvement over their condition
a week ago.
Farm work generally behind hand,
owing to rainy weather. The adverse
conditions were washing rains in Sum*
ter and Aiken counties, and a severe
and destructive thunder storm in Ab- j
beville, which besides damaging crops,1
killed considerable stock. There were j
some high winds in various portions
of the State but the damage resulting I
was, even in the aggregate, not very
great.

Praise for the Citadel.
Charleston, July 11.?One of the
issues in recent political campaigns in
South Carolina has been 'the educational
institutions which have been supported
by the State. It was feared at
one time that in the general work of
reconstruction, the South Carolina Milltarv
Artademv misrht be npset, bat Gov
ernor Tillman and the JLegislatare have
not withheld Stale aid from this institution
and as the report of Lieut. Col. GH,
Rurton, inspector general of the
United States Army, declares, they
j have acted with rare good judgment.
| In this report, after setting forth in de|
tail the phyiscal condition oftheacadj
emy, Col. Barton says:
i "The discipline, military instruction,
beahng and general appearance or the
cadets; the general care and condition
of arms and equipments, and the entire
military aspect of the military department
of this academy, admit of no com
parison to any of the colleges with which
I have had experience. It i3 so su??rior
in all its methods, scope, appointments
and its distinctive military features, that
it must be classed alone, and can only
be compared to our national military
academy. In the military bsaring, cohesion
and drill of all kinds in the infantry
I ihi? battalion eauals anvorsanizi
Lion in the army and is but little short of
thatauperb excellence generally believed
tobe possessed by the national cadets."
After extolling the work and merits
of L'.eut. Jenkins, the military instructor
assigned to the academy by the war department,
Col. Burton says: "The college
merits the best support the government
can give to tfyt most advanced
of the civil institution where the art of
war is taught, for the reason that the nation
receives from it results correspond
ing to its greatest demands,"
