Threats Against Oilier { 1 ~ - , I ( i i'erscns?linntecl Down ana lua- | i died With Bullets, j Columbia Register IS. Died at the hands of a mob. 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.

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.

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 I Ui., c-i/la orijt tt'na with j Ul?

[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.
