AgL SOUTH CAROLINA'S SHAME. A Yirgiuia Contemporary Throw? Bouquets at the Dispensary. Richmond Times. A South Carolina politician lvit turned State's evidence ngainsi the dispensary system and ha* been making some through tin newspapers of the State. Th< Charleston Evening l'ost sayi that nothing has la-en accomplished 1?v this, save the establishment of the fact that corruption pre vails in the administration of tin dispensary and that this demon stration was unnecessary, for tin reason that there has never beei any doubt of that proposition it the minds -if the intelligent ob server. Th? dispensary system has beei a disgrace to South Carolina. 1 was conceived in hxpocrisy, for i was alleged in the beginning (ha it was u tt'uijicniucc measure ant whs designed to prevent the abuse of the litpior tratlic. But Seuato: Tillman long ago threw otT thu disguise and declared openly ant hlunily that the purpose of tin dispensary was to furnish thepei pie with plenty t?f good liquor ant to make money for the State That being tho case, how could w expect anything else than that th whole system would be honey combed with scandal* It is a ba< thing for the State to engage ii any line of business, and when i engages in the retail liquor busi ness for the purpose of giving th people plenty of liquor and uiuk ing money for the State, it neces warily brings down upon its do voted head all the worst evils o whiskey and politics. The officio government of South Carolina i saturated with whiskey and fo the past several years has been o a jag. it is a strange tiling to U that the good people of that Stat nave for so long tolerated this digraceful nuisance, and we are n< surprised to learn that a move ment is on foot to relorm the or tire system. It is said that th members of the legislature ar disgusted uud Senator Tillman i said to bo in favor of inakin radical changes. The nest chang that can be made is to aboiish th dispensary.

" 1 (1 : , a Chicago, Nov 17.?Carrying ^ out a plot ho had apparently plan- n ned with deliberation, Cornelius n i- Corcoran today shot four of his ? children, killing three of them, !* i and then ended his own life. The I tragedy occuried at his borne, I . t 5,401 Dearborn street. The i I; I dead: J,' d Cornelius Corcoran, 4b years 1 J' 0 | old. j u Margaret Corcoran, 5 years 'j " old. e John Corcoran, <> years old. ,j Lizzie Corcoran, 3 years old. The wounded: ? Kate Corcoran, 14 years old, " may die. If sho recovers, will ?' e lose her left eye. y The police are convinced the j * man was insane. Corcoran had lived with his seven children in a 7, flat building at 5,401 Dearborn street for a month past. To all _ outward appearances he was a i_: i 1 ? miiu nun considerate parent. 1-or " Borne days ho Imd plotted for th? death of hia children, and he near' ly accomplished his purpose Tuos- v y day night. I (earing the children tl cough, he aiose and in the night ' administered laudanum to five of ^ them?Clifford, Timothy, John, (| 1 Margaret and Lizzie. The firat tl l/ | two were removed to the Mercy h ^ hospital, where Timothy died the H next day. Corcoran exhibited * such profound grief over the af^ fair that *he police and the euro- i, ner thought tho giving of lauda* n num was a mistake. a o Balked in hia purpose to end 1 the lives of the young ones, Corcoran, it is thought, made deliber- t( ir ate plans for his act today. ^ 11 J A Unit IS Y EVANS ON?

On the morning of the 14th im?tt comoany with Hon .J 1) Ilasclmi, L M llascldcn and I)r Ednrds, I went to Marion, and on ir return homo we were inform1 that there were in the depot ined men awaiting to attack us ? we passed by.

I was riding with J D Ilascldcn, >ing the driving, and as we near1 the depot 1 guided our horse to ft to pass the front buggy, whose L-cupants were I)r Edwards and ipt E M I luselden. As we were rousing the railroad track I look1 backwards and saw Mr Uen oilers on the depot platform, ith a pistol in his hand, and Mr olin Sellers rushing out of depot oor. 1 told Dudley to look out. >t tnis moment pistol shots were red as Dudley was getting out of uggy. We were then about 25 Jet across the ruilroad track. I alted mv horse and turned iu uggy and began firing at Mr ohti Sellers, who was tiring in ly direction from behind a mail ihdc. J positively did uot shook t Mr Hen Sellers, and several hots weie fired before I fired at II. I saw shotguns fired both rom the. door and window of the epot oflieo. After firing my last artridge, I dropped down iu the oot of the buggy and, looking round, saw some one pointing hotgun through almost closed oor of the depot office, asking, 'Where is Aubrey?" After arty left door 1 got out of buggy nd walked across to house of Mr trown, looking for Dudley, wh<T iad gone in that dire tion after mptying his pistol. Not finding im, 1 returned to the buggy and Irove off down the road, whore 1 ras joined by Mr I> M Ilaselden. die buggy in which I was now curs the marks of six bullet oles. While I regret the unfortunate fair, it was unavoidable on our art. Ah for my part, 1 had othing against any of the gentle-, ion involved. J A Evans. Sellers, S C, Nov 17.
