ABBEVILLE, S.C.
Wednesday, May 12, 1886.
The Chester, <2roemvooil, Abbeville
and fclberton Railroad.
The Elberton papers announced a pubi:.?
tn t-iL-n nl.-iofi on the first
IIU lliwuu^ KW V....V- r
Tuesday in May (Sale Day) to take into
consideration tho llail road problem.
Two schemes were before them?one a
through line from Augusta to Chattanooga,
through Elberton. The other a
branch road from En right's store on the
-Savannah Valley llailroad to Elberton.
Elberton and Abbeville are in the same
condition, needing additional Kail road facilities,
so the idea was conceived if Elberton
and Abbeville would unite in one
grand road across the country from Raleigh,
X. C., to Atlanta, Ga., taking in the
intermediate towns, that our common ills
"would be jiooled and a ten strike tho result.
A committee was appointed to bring
<iip matter before our Georgia cousius.
When the committee arrived in Elberton
it was ascertained that the meeting had
been postponed, but the Elbertonians,
withttrue Georgia courtesy and pluck,
soon tilled tho capacious Court House
with substantial citizens from town and
county, who gave a patient and an appreciative
hearing to tho committee. The
audience soon understood the practical
benefits to accruc to their town and county
by the building of this cross country
road. The responses to our committee
showed a lively appreciation of its advantages,
and the appointment of a working
"committee to work up the scheme, gave
? practicable turn to matters. Our committee
was much encourage:!, and are
confident that the ball was set in motion
which will result in good to these sister
towns. We are sure that the more our
Georgia friends study this scheme the
more they will be impressed with its importance
and advantages. No other one
road can compare with this cross-country
scheme in the opportunities and advantages
which it will secure to all the localities
through which it will pass. The nu
*> morous lines of Railroads now operating
in the direction of the seaboard to the
mountains are fully sufficient to the requirements
of the country in that direction;
additional] liues will not bring results
equal to the expenditure, but cross
country roads are far between and are
much needed. The road from Atlanta to
a point in North Carolina through this
section, will put us many hours nearer
the great markets of the world, and the
numerous roads crossed will present
great facilities for going everywhere
quickly, and competition in ireigiu in
every direction. Let us in conjunction
with our Georgia friends press the good
work forward. Onr committee were
very hospitably received and treated, 2nd
enjoyed their visit socially and v>e would
like to see and know more of our cousins
across the River. x

Crime.
yews (me! Courier.
Richmond, May fi.?The Supreme Court of |
Appeals of Virginia to day rendered :i deeiI
siou in the ease of T. J. Cluverius, convicted
I in this city of the murder, on March IS, JSS\
of Fanny Lillian Madison. The case is known
as the reservoir murder mystery. The judg,
incur ot the lower Court, is lully sustained,
the eight hills of exception filed by the prisoner's
counsel being all overruled.
Cluverius will surely be hanged unless Executive
clemency interposes. The tune first
iixed lor his execution having long since
passed by, iuMvill have to be brought betore
the Hustings Court lor resentence.
Uluaerius received the news very calmly.
Not a muscle of his face quivered when he remarked,
"I am surprised. I expected a dlllerent
result." He talked quietly with his counsel.
\Y hen told that it would be necessary to
put him in solitary confinement he said:
"Very well. I make no objection. I do not
want to give any one here any trouble."
L. W. Hose, the aged keeper of the Richmond
city reservoir, discovered the body of a
young woman floating 111 the reservoir at 7
o'clock in the morning of March 14, 18S5.
There were foot-prints ot a man and 'woman
on the embankment. When the body was
taken out it was covered with mud. Tne
arms were bent up in front of the body, with
the hands clenched, and lumps of mud grasped
in the hands. There was a slight bruise on
the forehead and another on the lower lip,
both of which seemed to have been made by
a blow. The coroner's examination showed
llllll M1U B'UUIU IlilVU UUVU111U ??. lliuuuvt
about one month.
The body, alter several days, was identified
as that of Fannie Lillian Madison, of King
William County, and circumstances led to
the arrest of T. J. Cluverius, a young lawyer,
whose home was in King and Queeu County,
about thirty miles from Richmond. He and
the girl were second cousins, and had been
very fond of each other. At the time of the
death of Miss Madison, however, Cluverlus
was engaged to be married to a reputed heiress
in the county. Since his incarceration
this young lady has married another man.
Fanny Lillian Madison was the daughter of
a farmer of King William County. At the
time of her death she was '12 years old, Cluverius
being 23. She had borne a reputation
above reproach. Cluverius lived with Mrs.
Tunstall, an old aunt, who was devoted to
him and fond of Lillian. Between Mrs. Tunstall
and the girl's father, however, a coolness
existed, but Lillian declined to let this
interfere with her intercourse with Tunstall.
For this reason the father and daughter did
not get on well together, and she secured a
situ tiou as governess in the family of Mrs.
Dickinson, it Bath County. This was about
eight months before her death. Before she
left her home she and Cluverius were frequently
together. An occasion recalled by a
witness was when Cluverius stopped all night
at the house of a relation in the country.
Lillian was staying there at the time. The
... , ,1 V/. lr?,.L-c
Ulis; WilS till UIU-JilMlUtllUU WIJC. luvuo
were on the doors. Cluverius occupied a
room with a young man. In the middle of
the night he not up, and explained to his
companion that it was necessary for him to
go outside. He left the room, and did not
come back for an hour. On a subsequent visit,
when Miss Madison was staying at the
house, Culverius left the room agam"at night,
and it is presumed that at these times h<?j
wronged Lillian Madison, though there is no
positive proof.
At her home in Bath, just before she came
to Richmond, no one noticed that the girl
was about to become a mother. 8!ie bore a
character above reproach there as she had in
j her former home. But she must have known j
that the time of her delivery was near at
hand, and the presumption is that she went
to Richmond to hide her shame. Before she
left Mrs. Dickinson she said "Cousin Tommie
Cluverius" would meet her in Richmond, and
on t he train she told the conductor her name,
and during conversation with him appeared
very despondent, saying she would not care if
the cars ran oil'and killed her. She register.

ton, of Roanoke. On the night of her arrival
a young man culled t<Tsee her. and many witnesses
test! lied that the young man was Cluverius.
This was on Friday. Saturday was
tlie girl'* last day on earth. A well known
Richmond merchant, who had a previous acquaintance
will) Cluverius, swore positively
that he saw him stauditig with a lady in
front of the American Hotel some time beteen
11 and 4 o'clock on Saturday. The couple
were looking up and down the street as if
: waiting for a car. This witness identified a
photograph of Miss Madison as the likeness
I of the young lady he saw with Cluverius that J
I day. The couple were next seen on 1 telle |
; Island, famous as a prison for Federal soldiers !
j during the war, and now the site of big iron I
works. A number of workmen identified
Cluverius as the man who was on IJelle Island j
on Saturday in company with a lady. Sonic i
of them noticed her condition, and comment- j
ed on the fact. A few of those who saw heri
dead body recognized her as the lady whowas
with Cluverius. One witness heard the j
lady say to the gentleman as they passed |
lliini: "Why, Cousin Tommic!" The time ot'j.
j this visit is placed by these witnesses as being
I between 12 and 1 o'clock. Then the testi-|
mony ot the two inmates 01 a nouse oj infame
was to the effect, that between the hours
of 12 and 2 on that day Cluverius visited t lie
| house with a young hidy closely veiled and
j wearing exactly the description of clothing j
! worn by Miss Mndison. Then a colored hoy j
| who drives a tog horse to the street car iden- \
i titied Cluverius as the man he saw about Oj
i o'clock that night near the American Hotel
j in company with a lady. The boy stopped a |
j car for them, and they got on. The car ran to !
I Reservoir street, the terminus of tlie line, i
I The ear driver said the prisoner was very
j much like the mail who got on his car that
night with a lady closely veiled. The couple
got out at Reservoir street, and the man asked
him: "Cuii you tell rue where Reservoir '
street is?'' l he driver pointed them to the 1
street and saw them on it. This was twenty
live minutes to 10 o'clock. The last, witness
who connects ttie pair with Reservoir street
is a physician. He met a couple about twenty
minutes to 10 o'clock walking in the di- 1
rection of the reservoir. The man turned
around and asked him the name of the street <
and when Informed asked the time, which ,
the doctor gave him. Then, when they moved
off, the witness heard the man say, '!
j know that fellow, but he does not know me." <
1 * ? ' *- - * ~ 1 * 1 I ,
. \ nesrro swore mat m- uvaiu, uuuuui u uhh-k i
that Saturday night, two cries in the direction
of the reservoir, and then a voice say, ,
"Oh, Lord!"
[ When Ciuverilis was arrested it was noticed i'
I that the back of his hand was scratched, as if!
I by finger nails. The physicians said the j j
wounds were such as would be made from i (
! this cause. CJuverius, when asked how they [
| came tliore, said they were caused by a car :
seat which had caught his hand. His lather, J1
when asked, said positively that these marks I
I were the result of a full against a knot in a ;
fence. j
Miss Madison left her trunk at Mrs. Dickinson's
when she went to Richmond. This was I
opened after her death. Only one letter from i
Clu veri us was found in it. This one was dat- J
ed in September, and contained only allusions |,
to relations. It. closed with the following par- j:
ugraph, which has never been explained;
When sire you and that fellow going to be J
married? You know you told me it would be '
this winter. I think it would be the best [
thing for you. So do, this winter.
One other specimen of Cluverius's hand
writing was in the trunk of the dead girl.
This was a shockingly obscene piece of doggerel,
called "On the Delaware," so atrocious
that the Judge would not permit it to be read j
in Court until the room had been cleat ed.
There is a singular fact in connection with ;
Miss Madison's signing her name "F. L, Merton"
on the occasions of her visits to Richmond.
A nrostitute. who testified to know
ingChivenus three years ago, said that he
told her Ins name was Merton.
When (Jltiverius was arrested he said lie ,
would be able to account for every hour of his
time spent in Richmond, but at the trial lie
failed to do this. The only motive ascribed
! for the crime is that Cluverius ruined Miss
Madison, and that beinu at the same time engaged
to a wealthy young lady, he deemed it
; necessary to remove a possible obstacle to his
I marriage. 1
| The reservoir is situated in a bleak spot Just i
beyond the corporation limits. It is not a
| place one would care to visit at night. The.
smallpox hospital and cemetery which are so j
near it make tlie place at night even more for- j'
bidding. In order to have entered the reservoir
grounds at night it was necessary to go |
; through thesmallpox hospital graveyard. Jt
[ is not 'thought that Lillian .Madison knew i
| anything about this section, hut wtien Cluvc- i
i rius was a student at Richmond College, some
: years ago, it was the custom of the students
j who went bathing to go around the reservoir
< grounds and follow a path to tlie river. It is'
the theory that the conplt> went out that night j
to look for a lying-in place for Lillian Madi-j1
son, and it may be that he made her believe!1
that the wooden buildings in the reservoir en- j
closure were houses wherein she could haven
attention. i(
j The evidence showed that Cluverius was an j
! arch hypocrite. Ho stood well in his comma- j

The ISaptists have commenced work on
their church. They will piaster the sides nnd

Wc hope the streets and side walks will be
well worked this year. They certainly need
it badly on all the streets.
Miss lit) la Tray lor, after spending quite a
while in the country, returned last week. We
heard that two or three boys were sorry she
lett so quick. Look out for wedding bells before
long.
A good many persons went up on the first

Mr. \V. O. Sturkey is having the streets put
in tolerable good condition. lie makes a good
overseer.
The work done on Main street in front of J.
W. Peak's store, has helped the looks of that
part ot the town wonderfully.
Mr. Joe Edmonds has planted near town S10
hills of watermelons. He says he wants one
good bait of melonsand thinks the number of
hills planted will gratify this want. Wc too,
think so.
The depot frame is up and the rafters are on.
The size has been somewhat exaggerated. It
is only SO by 30 feet. The first slice was supposed
to be !Kix4(> lect. The work is being substantially
put toget her, but it will fall short of
our expectation. We were under the impression
that it would be as nice as Greenwood's
depot. Surely it ought to be, as there will be
more freight., we think, shipped over the Savannah
Valley Railroad than is transferred
from the Columbia and Greenville Ilatiroad
to the Augusta and Knoxville or Greenwood.
Laurens and Spartanburg Railroads. We
think tlie reason thedepotwns not built longer
or lamer, was because it would interfere
with the present platform, which was erected
last fall.
Mr. Joe Britt, of Sandover, and daughter,
Miss Mollie, were in 011 Saturday. Mr. Britt
brought in a most exquisite bouquet of roses.
This quill-driver's mouth was runniug water
for it, but it passed 011. We suppose tha fortunate
managers of the Advuncc got them.
One E. w. Mooie passed through our town
some weeks ago claiming to be the general
travelling agent of the Atlanta Constitution.
Several persons fiubserlbed and paid cash for
their subscription, but the papers have never
come and Moore has never been heard from.
We wonder if the Constitution is aware of this
fact. Mr. P. B. Calhoun has written them
about it.
Col. Cut Corlcy was in town on Saturday exhibiting
a cotton chopper, which, he says,
will revolutionize the labor question. The
Colonel has bought the county of Abbeville to
sell this machine. He arsued the cotton subject
at the present prices lor some time, and
finally said, "Why, gentlemen, you can with
this machine raise cotton at from three to five
cents per pound." Colonel, we will take the
agency at McCormick, if our business qualities
suit you. Call and see us.
Mr. Jus. Coihran, Jr., conducted the Sunday

Mr. P. P.. Calhoun has bought Mr. Jack Cox's

since he come to McCormick. Mr. Calhoun is
a business man and doubtless ere long will

The Farmer's Convention.
Palmetto Poat.
The Farmers have met in couucil and
have adjourned. There is no gainsaying
the fact that they were a very representative
body of men. This is proven by the
very conservative course they adopted
throughout their deliberations. UnJike
any similar body of men in such large
numbers assembled at the State capital,
tuey eschewed politics. It was something
very remarkable for the average assemblies
of this nature are almost snro to
dabble in politics. This they wisely eschewed,
and for once in South Carolina
there was a big meeting ana there was no
politics.
The fact is there were some admirable
subjects touched upon by the Convention.
We think that the Agricultural Bureau
could very well be dispensed with, ami if
the shaking up given it by the Farmers
who are most interested in the institution
can bring this about, it would be a good
thing.
But the Farmers are to blame for many
of the ills of which ;hey complain. It is
not that the land is not fertile, that the labor
is not good, that planting is not profitable.
The average farmer in South Carolina
does not consider himself set up in
business unless he is provided with a
liorse, a gun and a stump-tail dog. Many
ilemand a pack of egg-sucking, sheepkilling
hounds. Then tbey must be able
to meet at the cross-road store or tavern,
irabble as to what they think they know
libout politics, curse" the Governor and
State ollicials, and adjourn to the farm to
find that the "d?d niggers" have not
been working. The end of the year
comes, and the "d?d Jien law" takes
whatever they can't spirit away on the
underground railroad, and the "d?d lawyers"
are employed to foreclose their
mortgages, so that it is one "d?d bother"
from the time they bow the seed until it
is time to pay up. We do not wonder
that they are "down upon the "d?d Jien
law" and the "d?d lawyer:"' and the
"d?d r.iggers."

Court of Appeals of Virginia to-day rendered
a decision In the caso of T. J. Cluverius,
convicted in tlie Hustings Court
of this city of the murder, on March 13,
of Fannie Lillian Madison. The caso is
notoriously known as the reservoir murder
mystery. The judgment of tho lower
Court is fully sustained, eight bills of
exception liled by the prisoner's counsel
being elaborately discussed and successively
overruled.
The opinion was delivered by Judge

of the lower Court. Judge IIinton dissented,
being in favor of a new trial.
Cluverins will surety be hanged unless
executive clemency interposes. The time

fee of ten cents placed It within the patronage
of all.
Hon. J. S. McGce, of Walnut Grove, paid
our town a visit last week.
The course of true love never runs smooth.
This was exemplified in the case of our fellow
townsman Thomas Ducket and Miss Gussie
Calhoun, who were married last Thursday
night, at the residence of the bride's aunt,
Mrs. DuPre, by the Rev. W.T. Mathews. They
were to have been married about three weeks
ago, but measles doomed thein to temporary
disappointment. We trust their future will
be as propitious as their present is bright.
One mercantile firm of Greenwood sold over
a car load of corn Saturday. Next-week we

the marriage of his son last Thursday.

hardware house of W. M. Bricc & Co., ot New
York, spent several days in town last week,
awaiting developments in the illness of his
j brother, Mr. G. M. Jordan, who, we are glad to
announce, is convalescing.
Col. Pierce, the proprietor of the quarry, has
probably the fastest trotter in the State. Last
fall he won the purse at Ashevllle, N. C,and
put up a wager of one thousand dollars that
he could surpass Jn speed any horse in this
Sta te.
A call meeting of the Greenwood Bnilding
and Loan Association convened at Riley's hotel
last week to make some necessary changes
in the constitution. Four hundred shares
have been taken up, and Mr. J. S. Bailey purchased
the last installment, and several bidders
await the next installment.
The matrimonial lever is at high tide in our
midst. Three marriages are already booked
for while a host of bachelors are looking
anxiously for the wheel of fortune to turn.
Col. Pierce and the Greenwood, Laurens and
I Spartanburg Railroad have erected a side
tract connecting the rallrond and the quarry.
We understand the railroad authorities also
contemplate building a side truct and depot
near the Book church at an early day.
All who are Interested in the Rock church

might give them some valuable points in railroad
building.

Cattle.
Ninety-Six, S. C., May 10,18c6.
The prettiest pair of animals we have seen
for a long time wtis shown at the Abbeville
stock show by Mr. W.Joel Smith. If we mis!
take not, they are Red Chief colts.
Among the cattle we noticed Miss Catcr's
Jersey cow Pansy, and Mr. Pressly's bull Carolina
Chief. both very handsome. We are glad
to see that the prejudice against tins most desirable
breed of cattle is fast passing away.
The politician and office-seeker is now busy
plying his persuasive talent, and as John
Bradley says, we are sure of an opportunity
to "?li!i Iro his iiniv"?overv niir> of lis.
I Capt. G. T. Jackson has purchased the stock
of fancy srrocerioH of H. R. Turner, and has
opened at No. 2 -Miller block, where ho will be
glad to see his friends.
The bonds of the Narrow Gauge Railroad
arc being taken up as fast as they are put upon
the market. Treasurer Pope has contracted
with reliable parties to prude thirty miles
of the road from Johnston's to Ninety-Six.
They will take bonds for tho entire work.
Vasmer is entitled to all lie claims. We disclaim
any intention to wound his sensitive
nature and trust we will work together in the
future, and both uphold the council in their
attempts to execute the law and bring all offenders
to justice.
Dr. Bo/eman's half Jersey cow "Martha
Washington," has presented him with a beautiful
heifer calf.
Sir. and Mrs. F. M. Pope spent several days
in Augusta last week.
R. L. Pratt, recently elected Intendnnt of
our town, has resigned. It is rather unfortunate
for our town. Mr. Pratt made a vigilant,
efficient officer, and we are sorry ho found it
impossible to serve.
Revolutionary spring revived. The spring
on the late Dr. Stuart's place near town has
been cleaned out. A cum was taken from ten
or twelve feet below thesurfiice, which must
have been nlaced there many years airo. Sev
eral gums have rotiecloiit from time to time
during the recollection of somn of our oldeHl,
inhabitants, but no one can remember when
the ttrst mentioned gum was placed over the
vein. It is a bold stream and Jurnishes over
ten thousand gallons of pure fresh water per
day. It lias been nicely walled up and cemented,
and is a nice resort for our people.
Don't forget to plant some mangolds. One
acre will produce more cow food in this than
in anything else.
A costly lawsuit. A lawsuit over a three
dollar glass door has been tried thrpe times
before Trial Justice Moore's court. The cost
now amounts to about forty dollars, and yet
it is in the courts. The defendant says it is
not a matter of doltarsand cents but the principle
that is involved in the case. He says he
is amply able to pay and would willingly do
so if he thought lie ouwht to.
A car loaded with Hour has recently been
broken open at this place, and five ban els
have been taken out. The ordinary wire seal
used on car doors is no barrier against, thieves.

I town for several days on professional busiI
ness. The Doctor is a fine dentist and lias
many friends at Ninety-Six.
Mr. James JI. Rice delivered an address to
the Cow Grove Sunday sehool on last Sabbath
evening. It w.'is well received. This senool is
presided over by Mr. James N. King and is in
a nourishing condition. Prof. Lovejoy will
address ttie same school on the first Sunday
evening in June.
Mr. E. S. Addison, from near Ninety-Six, on
last Saturday shipped to W. P. Harvey it Co.,
of Baltimore, a large bale of wool. We examined
it and without, l'earof contradiction pronounce
it the best hale of wool we have ever
seen in South Carolina. Some of the fleeces
weighing from eight to nine pounds, with not
a burr or tag in them. Mr. Addison's flocks
are of the Broad Tail and Merino variety, and
have passed through the winter nicely.
