' in i r- Fire at the Asylum, t The laundry building at the hospital * a for the insane was gutted by fire this I ig morning. In the northwest corner of ^ it- the building was a stove where irons t ly were heated. The roof over this stove * s. caught fire and the blaze quickly s spread. It was a long run for the en- c ra gines, and when they arrived the fire a te had gained good headway. The fire ^ was confined to the building, which, n- with its contents, were destroyed. The in loss will foot up several thousand dollars, and is covered by insurance. The >r- patients were greatly excited by the er fire and noise. A serious riot seemed es imminent for awhile. Chief May was n- interfered with by a negro employed ig by the hospital, when Chief May >r pushed the negro aside, the negro ip cursed him and struck him on the face or with a brick and several others comy. menced shying bricks at him. A pole liceman arrested the negro, clapped ut handcuffs on him and started off. ill Others tried to release the negro and ry trouble was imminent. A number of pistols were drawn and things looked \y serious. Chief May is greatly beloved al by the firemen and they were bitter ie against the man who struck him. Dr. rn Babcock succeeded in quieting matid ters. He secured the release of the e- negro, promising to deliver him to the a, officers of the law whenever he was ia wanted. Then the boys put their ve whole attention to fighting fire. Seri id oub charges will be preferred against 1 3d the negro.

I ~ GEN. WATTS' VERSION ~ XI OF THE UNFORTUNATE CLASH ON THE CAMPUS. at He Hakes a Statement And the Public g( Now Has the Whole Case In Its Hands? ca What'11 the Verdict Be? 01 qi Although the dispensary situation is occupying the attention of nearly m every one in South Carolina just at ar this particular time, there is still much be speculation as to wnat win. De me oui- cc come of the recent clash on the South ot Carolina college athletic grounds, at A.fter waiting for several days Adju- R tant General Watts gave to the public N his version of the affair. It is as fol- n< lows: I had hoped that it would not be ar accessary for me to make a statement le as to the unfortunate occurrence that took place on the college grounds last B Friday, the 28th ult., but as there has w been so much said and written about of the affair, I deem it my duty to the be militia and myself to give the facts in the case, and let the public pass its sa jwn judgment. The following order cii was issued May 10, 1997: h? Special Order No. 12. ca A.dutantand Inspector General's Of- to See, Nj '"i-1 1-:~ a n ir -ir\ 1 onrr OUlummu, o. u., juajr iv, jlvhi. uu The annual inspection of the fol- ax [owing companies is hereby ordered: ga 3-overnor's Guards, Capt. J. M. Bate- lo man, commanding. Columbia, May ca 26, 1897; Richland Volunteers, Capt. in L D. Frost, commanding, Columbia, Slay 26, 1897. ar By order of the commander-in-chief. te; J. Gary Watts, A. & I. General. te< Owing to a death in my family, the 10 ibove order was revoked, and Friday, ca .he 28th, was appointed for the inspection of the above commands. I Te saw Col. Wilie Jones, who was the Di jolonel of the Second regiment of in- N< fantry, and who would be in com- Tc m and on this occasion, the morning Al )f the 28th at the Carolina National So bank. He told me that the inspection M would be held at the usual place, the M grounds in charge of the college, A] which are used by the students for l< ithletic purposes (the time and place Tc Df any inspection is generally left to Ki the commanding officar.) Col. Jones told me to take my position in front Vj 5f the stand which was erected for fj ladies to occupy in order that they ^ jould witness the games that are usu- iQ illy played on these grounds. The m battalion was formed and the usual 01 line of march was taken. As I reach- n< 3d the college grounds l proceeded to Jl] take my position, indicated by Col. m Jones, but was informed by Mr. Ha- Cf ?ood, one of the students, that a match ?>j ?ame of ball was in progress, and jn loped that I would not interfere, or ?7ords to that effect. I then rode from i the ball grounds and was spoken toby Prof. Sloan. He informed me that the boys had permission to play ball >n the grounds and that a matcn game eras in progress. I replied to him ;hat I had no desire to interfere with < ;he game, but that I had been inform- stc id by Col. Jones that he had permis- po lion from the president to have the ex nspection on the grounds. I then wl ;ook my position on the left of the ri| >all grounds and did not think that I pr ^as in any way interfering with the er jame of ball, as no opposition was im aised to my position. The review in; ind inspection was then started, and wi iverythmg was going on very smooth- tic y until the battalion was passing in de: eview, when a ball was knocked and da is one of the players was running in, ifter it he ran into Capt. Bateman and sni irnocked off nis cap, the crowd then ag >egan to cheer, the battallion moved ya m and nothing was thought of this no ncident. The batallion then proceed- 15 vith their field movements, and as or hey were marching past the inspect- bl< ng officer I requested a policeman to ho nove back some of the parties who ar( vere in the line of march, which he Th lid without any trouble. cir At this time I was stationed to the we eft of the ball grounds, and as far as blc ! thought was not in any way con- iy licting with the game of ball. It has ly. >een stated that at this time a ball was of cnocked over in that direction and tw truck a horse of a member of my th< itaff. I knew nothing of the incident. Fr Lbout this time the marshal of the Ee :ollege came to me, followed by a da :rowd of students and ball players, an ind stated that the boys had permis- 70 ion to play on the ball grounds. I an old him I had nothing to say as to mc hat, but only Know that Colonel rip rones told me that he had written per- crc nission from the president of tbe col- wi: ege to have the inspection on the grounds. I then requested the police ^ nan to keep the crowd back and he ried to do so. The crowd refused to jo back and began to defy and abuse Pai he policeman, who blew his whistle j-1 or his colleague who was on another >art of the grounds, but still the crowd nif vould not move back and continued scr o defy the policeman. I turned n ound and spo*e to the crowd and P" isked them to move back, but my re A? mest was treated in the same manner I53' is that of the policemen. I saw there vas going to be trouble between the j"ai >olicemen and the crowd, for by this ima they had become very much ex- se^ sited, and, seeing that a conflict was aUl nevitable, I considered the best solu- or ion of the difficulty would be to on' lave the battalion marched forward, we >ress back the crowd to the street, Ne hereby rendering any further conlict possible between the students i md the policemen. At this time wa here was no game of ball going on. x0 ! then gave Colonel Jones the order co] o move his command forward, which thi le did. The men advanced "at right ;n( ihoulder arms," and there was no or th, ler to "charge," as has been stated. gri Che troops advanced very steadily, prj ind the majority or the crowd moved c0, jack, but three or four students broke w8 hrough the line, near where the col- C0] >rs were, and tne policemen attempied 0 interfere. The battalion moved on ,o the front, leaving the policemen ' ind those students in the rear. Then he 1 general encounter took place between tio he students and the policemen. ha These are the plain, untarnished ph 'acts in the case, notwithstanding the thi epeated rumors that have been circu- sul iated, many of which have been ab- ph lurd in the extreme.

On last Wednesday Senator Tillman c sured the adoption of the following I solution by the United States Sen- ii s: i] "Whereas the Sur^rje Court of the a i i J - -1 J ii.. ^ auea oiaies upci&reu in uie cbbo ul u sisy vs. Hardin that no State had the I rht to prohibit the sale of liquor e thin its own borders in original s ckages, upon the ground that it was hi l interference with interstate com- n 3rce;and h "Whereas, in order to give relief to tj e people of Iowa, Congress passed C aat is known as the Wilson law. t Wilson law is then quoted.) h "Whereas under the authority there- tl granted the Stale of South Caro- p la, in December, 1892, passed tne a jpensary law, under which provis- ii a is made for the sale of liquor by d ate officers, under strict restrictions a d rules; and c ' Where under this system experice has shown the cause of temper- ? ce has been advanced and the good der and quiet of the State have been ^ omoted, there being now less than ti 0 dispensaries in place of upwards I 800 barrooms in 1892; and 1 "Whereas a Circuit Judge of the ; lited States Court, by judicial legis ion in a recent decision has repeal- ( the Act of Congress above recited, far as South Carolina is concerned, us requiring the State to reopen rrooms or allow the free and unaited sales of liquor in original ckages; therefore, ba it, "Kesolved, That the judiciary com- i .ttee of the Senate be instructed to ' asider what legislation, if any, is cessary to restore to South Carolina b right granted by the Act of Aust 8,1890, to control the sale of al- bolic liquors within its own borders, ' its own way, in common with ler States of this Union." Mr. Tillman spoke briefly in support lj the resolution, saying the public J pression that the dispensary law || is a money-making device was erro- j| ous, and that it had accomplished i| ich good in regulating the liquor * iffic. tj Mr. Faulkner of West Virginia felt ii sit thft Senate should not be commit- b I to the lengthy preamble reciting ti a effect of the law, etc. ^ Mr. Tillman modified the preamble h as to avoid the term "judicial leg- P ation" in characterizing the recent n cision, and substituting "judicial ? ;erpretation " Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, chair- b in of the judiciary committee, pro- 1? sed a substitute, omitting all pre- ijj lble and simply direding the judi- " try committee to consider and re- o rt, by bill or otherwise, what legis- gr ion, if any, is necessary to carry . t the statute of 1890 relating to * amerce between the States. , Mr. Tillman accepted the substitute, jtl d it was agreed to. Ih 'D Tillman Will Hands Oft ... , , m I* Che Washington correspondent or ^ ) News and Courier says the dis- ? tches sent out from Columbia rela ii e to the position that Senator Till- * m will take in the approaching pri- * iry election for a United States Sen>r have been much discussed in ashington. The claim that he will ce an active part in favor of Any of 5 candidates seems to have little mdation. Hia relations with Govlor Elierbe have not been strained, d the two men are on more than endly terms. Tillman has given t no authorized statement, but )8e who know the Senator and have u ked with him say that he i? well sased with the appointment of Mc urin to succeed Earle, and that he it 11 not be pulled into the coming b] ht, as he was in the last hours of 3 last primary. Tillman has never 41 asidered the defeat of Governor te ans as in any wise a rebuke to ? nself. It will be recalled that he a urged to do something in Gover r Evan's behalf of those prominent It Reform ranks and some of them y erwards pulled off their endorsemt of Evans, which did not please * ) senior Senator. It seems to be g] jtty well settled, and is generally ^ derstood, among the Tillman men it if Governor Evans makes the v ) race for the Senate it will be with* ol t the assistance of Tillman and the ite Administration. Tillman takes ? ) position that the fight is one * iong Reformers, and that it would improper for him to take an sctive rt in it. The State Administration 11 be solidly for Mclaurin, and with own popularity the newly ap- Jj inted Senator seems, from this \ int of view, to hare the the best of f i Stunned by an Electric Wire. i special dispatch from Anderson to | i Columbia State says the electric 1 :e was broksn on McDuffie street, % i Rev.
