Dreher, bis two sons, Bobbie and Bennie, 9 and II years old, and Mr. Bennie Xunnamaker were in a. boat fishing in Saluda river about three hundred yards below Dreher's Ford. When in a strong current in about fifteen yards of the south bank of the river as they threw out rock anchors, one at each end of the boat, it capsized and threw its occupants into the river. Mr. Dreher caught his youngest boy Robbie, who was in the end of the boat with him, and swam towards the river bank, but being exhausted when in a few feet of the bank the boy was lost and B""*"?- => Mr. Dreher was only saved by catching the overhanging willows. The boys body was recovered yesterday B about noon at the spot where he was lost. Mr. Dreher can give no acMr. NunVr. that he only saw them when HfHe boat nrsc capsizea, struggling ju F the water. They sank and were seen no more. Mr. Xunnamaker wa9 a grown man but could not swim. Bennie Dreher could swim well. The river has been dragged for the |? bodies of the two latter but they have not yet been recovered. The K search will be continued. The river was up a little, and the current rapid p; where the boat capsized. The grief of Mr. and Mrs. Dreher over their B irreparable loss is heartrending, and they and Mr. Xunnamaker s relatives have the deep sympathy of everyone. All the parties lived near the scene ?

As the season moves swiftly toward the boundary lines that lie between winter and spring, it frequently happens that the human system, which has borne the strain of winter, shows sign of relaxation. In all ages this period has been noted as a dangerous one, especially to those who have weak constitutions. A course of the great blood purifier and tonic, S. S. S., will enable the most delicate to face the season s changes with impunity. It is a medicine that not only strenghtens the weak and the delicate, but is an additional safeguard for these who consider themselves stong.

Charlotte, N. C., April 13.?Yesterday and last night will be memorable times in the future history of Charlotte. Last Saturday night a peaceful Italian by the name of Jolm B. Mocco was brutally murdered and robbed in his' store on a principal street here. Mocco came to Charlotte about six months ago from South Carolina, where he had resided for some years. Ke was married, and his family consisted of a wife and three chidren. They lived in the rooms over his fruit and cenfectionery store. For some days a negro by the name i of Williams, u stranger, has been calling at Mocco's store. Saturday night he went in and asked her to change fifty cents for him. When Mocca opened his cash drawer the negro looked in it from over the counter. He got his change and went out, but returned about 11 o'clock, when no one was in the store except Mocca and his little seven year-old son. He had a heavy piece of iron wrapped in his handkerchief in his hand, and walking up to Mocca he j c died for some apples, and when the I Italian turned to get them he j struck him on the back of his head | a fearful blow, and the unfortunate ! man fell to the door with a groan. The negro then robbed the cash I * ! drawer, and left. j Jlocca lived till early yesterday | morniug, when he died. The negro was arrested and lodge ! in jail. All day long indignant citizens | crowded around Mocca s store and I threats of lynching were made, j The crowd grew larger aud larger i until night, it numbered several lnmj dred. XX1C iirgiuw lu 1 n < <.- ana ' make all sorts of threats against the 1 whites. Before 9 o'clock the crowd marched | down Mint street in front of the jail. Just beyond the jail perhaps fifty | yards, five hundred negroes had | gathered, and were yelling and mak : ing bloody threats against the whites. There would have been a bloody battle, had the whites had a leader to have carried them on. They wanted to fight, and would have killed every negro to be found had a determined man announced his willingness to lead them: but the whites, while fully determined, had ! >/* lOOfltH* The governor had ordered out the Hornets Nest Rifles to protect the jail, and that company was on duty all night. These were stationed in the windows of the jail and about the yards. It would have required a large mob to have taken the jail, and the crowd, realizing this fact, soon abandoned the idea, and would have dispersed but for the insolent threats of the negoes. The mayor and many cool-headed citizens tried in vain to get the crowd to disperse. Rev. A. G. McManaway, pastor of Tryon street Baptist church, went among Dotn crowns anu uuh.eu to them, but they would not go away. There is a colored Methodist church near the jail, and when the Riflemen began to drive the negroes away they o ^ o * +/ retreated into this church. Some one rang the bell, and when the officers went to stop them they were met at the door with a volley of .pistol shots and had to run back. Then some one threw a dynamite boom in the church which exploded with terrific force near the church Knf nn rtanmorp was done. The crowd, together with the militia and police, made a rush upon the church and opened fire on it. The church was crowded with negroes at the time, but they soon began to jump out at the back windows and run into the belfry. In a few moments, the belfry got too hot for them and they came down like rats, while bullets rained all around them. When the battle was over not a negro was to be found anywhere. No one among them is known to have been hurt, but the church looks like it has been through a war. Three or four white men were shot accidentally, but notseriously hurt. At least five hundred shots were fired. The negroes are raving, and more trouble is feared to-night. No such times were ever known Here before. Geo. Williams, alias Henry Brabham. the negro in jail here charged with the murder of the Italian Mocca, and who is causing so much trouble, is said to be the son. of a rather wealthy negro of Charleston. He is not over twenty-four years old. The latest is that everything is qniet.
