MUTINOl'S Ol'TBBKAK At Citadel Academy?Thirt" Policeinen Called In Col Cow ai d's (kiolness Pro\ ented Serious Consequences. Sjieeial to Tlie State. Charleston, April 6.?As the result of live cadets at the South Carolina Military academy being reported to Col. Coward by Cadet Canty for breaking garrison several weeks ago, an effort was made last night by about 70 of the cadets to eject Canty from the institution. The demonstration developed into a mutiny, and bad it not been for the calmness of Col. Coward the insurrection of tho cadets would in all probability liave resulted seriously. Chief Boyle and a squad of 30 policemen were trailed out to assist in sin-pressing the turbulent cadets, who seemed bent on doing liarm to ('antev. Had they succeeded in elTccting an entrance into the cadet's room it is impossible to say what his treatment would have been. It was an Aberdeen landlord who raised the rent of one of his iiou-es because the walls bulged out, and therefore made the house larger. n HOW'S 1 HISS \W oHer One Hundred |)nll#ri?
