f
Another lynching has been added
to the record of Lexington county.
Early yesterday moniinig news '
reached Columbia that "Dub" Meetze
had been hunted down and lynched .
by a mob between 9 and 10 o'clock 1
Sunday night at bis old home in Lex- 1
ington county, about seven miles <
from Columbia. * i
About a year ago a warrant was *
issued against Meetze in this county
for forgery and one in Lexington
county for horse-stealing. He was i
captured in jail. The cases against
him were compromised and dropped
upon the express condition that he
would leave the State forever. He
was released and went away.
The circumstances of his tragic
end, as gathered by a Register reporter
yesterday from citizens of the
neighborhood, are as follows:
t Meetze had made threats to burn
his own house andHhe houses of several
people who informed against
t him in the horse-stealing matter, and
had threatened also to kill othersHe
had gone away, however, and the
community felt at ease.
A few days ago it was rumored
that he had come back and was hid-'"
ing around in the neighborhood.
The citizens were at once aroused to
a feeling of fearful suspense, not
l-n/-,Tvinnr of. wliot. tirnp o tinnsp. wnnld
bo burned or somebody killed from
ambush.
I
Last Wednesday night Meetze's
house \va9 burned down and his wife
and two children narrowly escaped ,
being burned to death. The fears of ,
the community were still further
aroused by this and every one felt
certain that it was Meetze's work,
i
and the question was whose house .
would bo next.. The people then began
to look out for Meetze. Sunday
morning, while the congregation was ^
at service at Zion church, a colored
girl went there in a state of considerable
excitement and told the peo- (
pie that she had seen Meetze in the'
woods near the house of Mr. Andrew
Lorick, whose house was ineluded
in the list of those threat
dned to be burned.
i
The people at once resolved
'latitute an organized search for (
Meetze, whom they regarded as an
outlaw and of whom they were afraid.
The search began at once. After
searching until about 9 o'clock without
avail, the posse stopped for the
night, going to their homes.
Sheriff Drafts was at Mr. Lorick s
| house, and shortly afterwards he and
Mr. Lorick heard some shooting over *
in the direction of Meetze's house,
which had been burned.
In company with Mr. Lorick, the
Sheriff went to the place and looked
around, but no one was to be seen. A
groan was heard. They asked who
it was and the reply came that it was (
Meetze. Going in the direction of
LJLiC uau, mcj' taiuc xixcciiiv;
lying a few yards from the barn in r
the agonies of a fearful death.
There he lay in the dajk night, withij
no one near4__?Hi??1' - ~ ,
___^--TTTTfT^wei'e, no one knew.
Meetze was able to talk a little and i
beg for water, but did not say who }
shot him. He is reported to have s
said that he did not burn his house <
on Monday night. In a little while j
he breathed his last. The reporter. }
was unable to learn from any source j
whether there was any proof that s
Meetze burned his house beyond c
his threat and the consequent sus- ?
picion that rested upon him. s
"From all that could be learned con- 1
? ? -r? - ' ' i
cerning his tragic end, it appears (
evident that he died at the <>1 <
the people among whom lie was i
raised, because they feared him, and '
it is said that there is now a feeling t
of relief in that community that he ]
is dead.
As he lay qn the ground in his 1
own blood he presented a sad speota
cle indeed His clothes were ragged
and the bottoms of his shoes were <
worn off.
Yesterday morning a crowd of his
former neighbors were gathered
about him as he lay cold and stiff in
death. His body was riddled with
shot and pistol balls.
The Coroner was notified and a
jury of inquest was summoned. Dr.
Deaph art made the post mortem examination.
I The most serious wound was in

j passed through his right hand, \yhich
j appeared to have been against his
! side when the wound was made.
There was n wound in the stomach j
and one in the left shoulder. A pistol
bull spilt his scalp and the left :

[From Our Regular Correspondent. ]
Washington, 1). C.,
July 14, 1803.
Facts are stubborn things, and no'
that the democrats have an oppo
t unity to examine the pension ro
they are turning up every day t
prove that the claim made by dem<
crab? for years, that millions of do
lars were beiug paid out illegally ft
pensions, was correct. Cases ar
numerous where men are drawin
$72 a month for total disability an
in addition following ordinary avoct
tions and drawing the same salarie
as uninjured men. Two cases c
this sort turned up this week riglj
here in Washington, one man
musician regularly and the other
government clerk, and there ar
many more her#, These two me
were re examined their peusions r<
duced to $17 and $23 a mouth r<
spectively, and so apparent was th
justice of the reduction that neithe
of them availed themselves of th
right to appeal from the decision c
the board of esainiuera.
A little incident occurred this wee
at the Pension Office which show
that politics do not enter into th
present conduct of that office, j
democratic Congressman called t
protest against the reduction of th
pension of a prominent democrati
worker in his district, and said tha
the man had influence enough t
throw his district, which is close, t
the reduelicans. The papers in th
case were produced and it was con
olusiveiy shown that the ruaii wa
drawing a larger pension than he wa
entitled to, and the Congressman ha<
to acknowlege it, although he st-il
asked that this particular pension b
not reduced. He was informed, a
other democratic Congressmen hav
been who called upon similar errands
that the policy of this Administra
tion was to administer the law as i
exists without regard to the politic
of the pensioners.
Secretary Morton thinks the wor
of the Weather Bureau should b
confined to the purposes for which i
was established and that the emploj
ment of high salaried scientific ex
i . i ..i i: v;~i
pens 10 experjjueut uiuuy uues nuiia
nobody really knows anything abou
is all wrong, and in consequence o
those thoughts he has notified sev
eral professors who have been en
gaged upon work that was of no iin
mediate practical use either to th
Bureau or to the public that tbei
services will be dispensed with.
ri l ' i J ?me en tin
Secretary inte^*1^ ,
{siX^- Bureau shall be devotee
to improving the daily forecasts o:
the weather, which he believes to be
t lie work which is the most beneficia:
to the public. "IIow the fur would
fly," remarked a man who knows con
sideruble about the inside workings
of some of the other so called scientific
bureau of the goverment, "if a
man like Morton was put in charge
of the Geological and the Coast Survey
oftices. He knows enough about
science not to allow himself to be
bamboozled bv the fake scientist?
whose sole object in life is to bol3 on
to the soft snap they now have-".
Senator \orhees, whose long* Congressional
experience makes his opinon
valuable, takes no stock in the
alk about the extra session being a
tbort one. Speaking of it he said:
'Congress will probably be in colf
not longer." Representative*'*Wt4on,
of West Virginia, the gentleman
who is thought to stand the
best chance of being the chairman of
[lie Ways and Means committee of
the House, should Mr. Springer not
get it again, also thinks the extra
session will run into the regular ses
sion and that the latter will be an
unusually long one. Mr. ilson
thinks the tariff will be taken up just
as soon as the Ways and Means com
mittee is announced by Speakei
and it is expected that will bt
" rl ?
immediately after the House goef
through the formality of re-electing
Mr. Crisp Speaker.
Many misstatements have beei
made concerning the alleged antag
onism between the admiuistratio]
and the silver Democrats in Congress
Representative Wheeler, of Alabama
is and has been for years a siive
Democrat, and this is the way he ex
pressed his antagonism: liI have ui
bounded confidence in Presiden
Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and th
Democratic party. Mr. Clevelan
struck the key note in his letter (
j acceptance when he demanded legi:
j lation which would give adequat
