operation was successfully jaerw
formed by Dr. McDow. The
necessity for the amputatton was
caused from non circulation of the

to the arm. The flow of blood
through the artery is obstructed
in some way before it reaches the
arm and for the past weok the
member had been gradually perishing.

The Legislature Establishes a Department
of Commerce and
Immigration.
Columbia, S. C. Feb. 11.?The
Legislature of South Carolina today
passed a bill establishing a
State L?epartment of Commerce
and Immigration. The bill is
elastic in character and enables
the Department to look not alone
to securing settlers of desirable
eharacter, hut to inducing all
kinds of investments in the State, j
The move is due to the peculiar
conditions prevailing in the South
resulting from the cotton-grow-1
ing and manufacturing aituation,
the demand for farm labor, the
probability of the opening of the
Panama Indian trade. Once the
Deyartment is established othfr
Southern States Will doubtless
move on similar linea.
A dog bill has been passed by
the house. It levies a tax of 50
cents per capita on all dogs, and
provides that the tax shall he
collected as other taxes are collected.

Hot Words in House.
Exciting Incident at Thunday
Night's Session.
Special to News and Courier.
Columbia, Feb. 11.?Thare
were exciting scenes in tie ball of
the Houso of Representatives to- j
night, and tueafbers indulged in 1
language unparliamentary bo^ '
quite expressive of their overwrought
feelings. ^ it is afl tha ^
outcome of the investigation into j
ths manner in whicli the State (
Houso was completed. The re^
port of the commission which exatninsd
that work cieatsd quite a
sensation throughout tho State,
and the members of the comtuis- ?
Hion wnicn nau in charge tno
work of completing the Capitol
held an informal meeting yester- <
day. It was then decided to |
memorialize the General Aiiem- {
hly for the member* of the for- ^
mer commission to be given a
hearing in their defence. When 1
this memorial wai preaented the 1
colloquy ensued which very near- <
ly approached a clash upon the (
floor of the S3ouse.
Mr. T. Y. Williams, of .Lancaster,
in words which bear but '
one construction, attacked the 1
veracity of Mr. W. J. Johnson, of ,|
Fairfield, who had stigmatize^;
the report of the couimitteo investigating
the commission as an
infamous falehood.
Mr. Williams; "Do yon mean toapply
that to tho members of the Joint
commitw e?"
Mr. Johnson; "What I have said I ,
have said."
.>ir. wiuiam*: - uo you mean to |
apply that to me? It is very easy for
you to say "
Mr. Johnson: "If the oap fits, wear
it ./ust wear it."
Mr UaHtou made the point of order
that the discussion was all out of order
Mr. Mauldin. in the chair, ruled i
that the memorial is a matter for discussion.
i
Mr. Johnson, continuing, sah! that
tiie joint committee was no more tit
to pass upon the Q vernment archi
tect's work than ti e building com
mifbioti was to p>?s." upon the w<-rk 0:1
theHtale House Mr. Johnson eoninued
l>y isaying that the damnable ,
nugge tioi.8 in the report wero absolute
falsehoods.
Mr. Williams, rising very calmly
from his seat as Mr. Johuson coil'" (
eluded, aud pointing his finger at Mr. ;
Johuson. said, with de)ibe*atiouitij
' There was nothing in that report to
.-barge members of the commission '
with collusion to rob and steal, and j
whoever saj's so is a liar."
Mr {Jobi son sprang un and made
some inaudible remark, which caused (
the sergeuut-at-arms to come between
himself and Mr. Williams.
Mr. Aull at this point introduced a
concurrent resolution to have ?a com-* I
mil tee appointed to take the testimony
of the members of the building
commission,
Mr. Williams introduced a resolution
to have testimony taken by the
same committee
Mr. Gaston thought it unwise to act
upon tin se resolutions tonight, when
the House was in excitement. He j
wanted the memorial aud resolutions
referred to one of the standing committees
of the House. This motion
was adopted by the House and the
matter was dimwmpd nf.
After the debate was over Mr. Williams
atated: "I desire. Mr, Speaker,
to ap dogize to this House, uut to any
individual, for the language which I
have used."
.' r. Johnson subsequently Japolcgized
to the House for the use of unparliamentary
language.
A White Man Killed at a Negro
Hot Supper.
Special to News and Courier.
Union, Feb. 9.?News came
to day of a homicide near Carlisle,
iu the lower part of the
county. The dead man, Will Euhanks,
ia white, while the ene who
is m custody as his slayer is a negro,
Silas Lyles. The information
obtainable at this writing is
to the effect that Eubanks was at
a negro frolic Saturday night and
a general ahoeting affray took
place. A. bullet entered Eubanlca'
stomach and passed entirely
through his body. He lingered
till this morning, dying at about
11 o'clock.- The negro Lyles was
placed in jail yesterday. Several'
others were implicated in the |
shooting and other arrests are
likely to follow, though such information
as is now obtainable
seems to fasten the firing of the
fatal bullet upon Lyles. These
rows at negro frolics or "festivale"
are of verj common occurrence.
They are the rule rather
than the exception. And it is
a great pity that white men will
attend them. |

^"Cincinnati, Feb. 9.? Word was
,
rloeived from St. Louis today
that A. W. T. Lawrence, formerly
of this city, and whose wife is
living here still, has been notified
by his broker, J. E. Wright of
Kansak City, that he is $40,000
ahead through recent cotton mar ket
manipulations.
Lawrenee is now a convict at
the Missouri penitentiary, where
he was sent about a year age for
appropriating about $1,500 from
the West End Hotel. It seems
he succeeded in working the cotton
market from inside the prison
bare.
Lawrence while clerk in the
Alms Hotel in this city a couple
ef years ago wooed and won a
ridaw from Kentucky worth
1250,000.
Lawrence went from here to
St. Louis and not long afterward
was convicted of stealing a ceuple
of thousand dollars from the
West End Hotel, St. Lonis.
His wife when seen here today
said she still loved him and would
rejoin him at the end of his term
of imprisonment if she was still
living. She is an invalid, and
her doctor says she has not long
to live. She said she was soriy
