A Famous Greenville Homicide. The Stnte, 15th inst. .John G. Ghaftin wan pardoned yesterday. His is a celebrated case. A little over 3 years ago he killed Warren E. VI. Grube, an architect, Ghaftin was a contractor and had been doing some building in Greenville under Grube's directions. Gbaffin was convicted of murder and sentence* to the penitentary for life. The case was carrid to the supreme court, and he entered upon his imprisonment in December, 188ft. Governor NlcSweeney has for some time been in recept of letters and petitions begging for the exercise of executive clemency *in this case. The reasons suggested were that the conviction was unjust; and thut, even if Ghaftin were guilty, the condition of his family calls for pity. Among those who wrote Gov. McSweenev were citizens of Shreveport, La., and of Johnson City, Tenn., where Chatlin had lived before ho came to to (irtonvillo. Citizens of those places declared that Chatlin was a peaceable man. A great many prominent public otlicial and ministers wotc to the governor in Chatlin's be, half. The main point at issue was whether or not injustice had been done Chaflin. There were affidavits submitted to show that evidence on which Chaflin might hnvo boon acquitted was not supplied in the trial. ino directors of the peniten tiury unanimously recommended 'pardon. .Judge Klugh, who heard tho case, declared that the verdict | was a righteous one in all tho ! circumstances submitted.

Miss Bobs is herself left-handed, and for that r< son was particularly impressed with G rube'a faculty. Mr. W. II. Cely also made an affidavit that Grubfe could use either hand. This made it possit ble forGrube to have bad a stick in h's right hand with combative intent when Chaffin shot him. Gold in The Catawba The Bed of the Itiver is a Vartiable Gold Mine. 1 lie tlmr lotto Observer save that the gold miners who have been operating a hydraulic plant in the Catawba river have made the discovery that the black sand in the lied of the river is rich with gold. An assay of a quantity of this sRnd recently made, allows m yield of $350 per ton. This is an extraordinarily rich yield, and if ' all the sand in the company "'a workings holds up to it, the result will be a veritable bonanza. Inasmuch as the bed of the Catawba has been washed out in many places by the recent flood, the bottom? along tho river must i lio rich in gold dust and a retort I to the primitive system of panning might prove profitable. ?
