Ho urges some measure to promote American shipping trade; urges trade reciprocity with foreign states; praises tho Japanese; urges arrangement with Great Britain for a cana) treaty, as Nic aragua now shows a disposition to deal freely with tho canal question, either in way of negotiations with the United States or by taking measures to promote a watorway. Overtures for a convention to offect tho building of the canal under tho auspicies of the United States are under consideration.

Tho mossago approves tho recommend ation of tho Secretary of War for now vessels for tho navy and for additional ofllcers and men that are roquirod for the increased navy. Tho President commends the estab lishment of a national reserve and of tho grado of vico admiral In the navy, and provision should be made for suit able roward for special merit. In thc great prosperity of the country, congress must guard against tho danger it incites of extravagance in tho expen ditures, and ho has no doubt tho repre sentatives of tho people will furnish an example of W?S8 economy, and closes by saying: "Let us always koop in mind that tho foundation of our government is liberty, its superstructure peace." The war tax reduction, which was sup posed would bo submitted immediately, will bo first submitted to tho Republican caucus.

A dispatch from San Francisco, Cal., under dato of November 30th, says: Not in tho history of thia city has an acci dent happened approaching in horrible details that of yesterday when more than 100 men and boys, who were view ing tho Stanford-California foot, ball gamo from the roof of an adjoining glass manufactoiy, wore suddenly precipi tated into tho interior of tho building, many on top of the white hot furnaces. Tho ventilator annex to the roof, on which they were perched, collapsed un der tho strain and without winning l l porsons wero hurled i , their death. Tho injured now being cared for in hos pitals or at their bom is number 83, and of these several cannot survive Nearly all of the fatalities were caused by tho force of the fall. In only a few cases was contact with tho furnaces thc immediate cause of death; for ready hands quickly dragged into the open air those who were in danger of being burned alive. Charles Vost, oven man Of the glass works, was raking tho lire when the crash carno and narrow ly escaped hoing Htruck by the falling bodies. Ile says that those killed either struck the heavy bands that surrounded the glas, oven or wero crushed by those who fell on top of them. Many succeeded in staving their dc scout for a moment by clutching the broken Imams, bul Indore they could be reached they were obliged to colease their hold and drop to tho lloor, !.*> feet below. Claronc? Joter, a furnace tender, pulled eight persons oil" the top of tho retort, wbero the heat w as about 500 degrees. Tho oil rotorts were full and the lire did not go down until they were emptied. Some of the men and boys wore terri bly burned. They were drawn aw ty from tho rotorts witli long iron pokers used in testing the glass. While aiding In removing the dead and wounded T. J. Paiker, a fireman, found his own son among those injured. Tho lad probably w ill die. Tho managers of the glass works stated that it was impossible for them to koop the people oil Huir buildings. They disclaim all responsibility for thc Accident, lt is estimated that over ??0 porsons woroon tho ventilator when il Collapsed for it? entire length of KM)foot. Some wore thrown to tho main roof of tho building and escaped unhurt, but of thone who fell to the furnaces nearly all were either killed or seriously maimed, SKETCH OF MRS. PICKRFLL'S UFE. She Carno to this Stato In 1819 and Died November 30, 1900. Iiioyles, Anderson County, December I.-Mrs. Mary 13. riokroll died at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon at the homo of her daughter, Mrs. Kate Norris, at Broyloa, lu Anderson county. She was tho widow of tho lato Jonathan Piokroll, Esq., who diod live years ago nt tho ago of 07, aud horsolf laokod till tho 10th of February of eomplotlng hor ninety fourth year. Sho had huon sick but a short time and her death was duo sololy to tho indi inities of extreme ago. Sho suffered but llttlo and passed away with out a groan or a struggle Notwith standing tho groat weight of years her strength of mind and body was remarka bly well preserved, and tho Uro of hor religious experience burned brightly to tho omi. Only a fow days boforo hor death sho caught the hand of hor daugh ter, who was ministering to hor, and pressing it warmly exclaimed with rnp turo, "as Booing him who is iuvisiblo," "Glory bo to God; praise His holy name!" .Sho had boon a mombcr of tho Metho dist church sovonty-llvo years, probably longer, and during that long timo-a much longer timo than is allowed most peoplo to sorvo in tho church militant sho was uniformly loyal to tho church of her fathers, constantly exemplifying tho soundness and saving powor 'Von doWU to old ago" of tho religion of tho Lord Jesus Christ. Mrs. Piokroll was born on Nantuckot Island, oil' tho coast of Massaohusotts, ' and was tho daughter of Abraham Cof fin, alho a nativo of Nantucket, and ono of tho first persons of tho island to on braco Mothodisni whon tho old religion 1 with a now and consuming zeal swopt tho dead ecclesiasticism of Now Eng land as a prarie Uro. Her mothor's father, William Buukor, a Baptist, was caught by tho tide of Methodism, as lier father's poople who woro Presbyterians, had been, and bo gavo tho land upon which tho first Methodist church on Nantucket was built. When she was sumo ton years of age sho board tho celebrated ovangolist, Lo renzo Dow, preach in Providonco, Rhode Island, whore her father was liv ing at the time, and to her dying day she kept fresh in mind hor impressions of tho man and bis manner. Thc preach er was unwell and after tho sorvieo in tho Court House-thoro was then no Methodist church in tho city-decided to rest Ibero till tho evening appoint ment. During tho interval a lady, sym pathizing with tho evangelist In Iiis in disposition, brought bim Bomo refresh ments and subsequently becamo Iii? wife. During tho year lSlO Mr. Collin, Mrs. Piekrell's father, a man possessed of a wide range of practical knowledge, de cided, in view of the wide spread busi ness gloom that hung over tho F.astorn States as a result of tho war of 1S12, t'.? remove to South Carolina. His resolu tion to come South was largely determ ined by tho insistence of his friend, Philip Weaver, who had already como to South Carolina and established a lillie cotton mill in Spai tanbiirg county. Accordingly, Mr. Collin sailed with his family from Providence that year and reached Charleston after a stormy voyage of tinco weeks. They wero mot in Charleston by Mr. Weaver's wagons uni' conveyed to the little mill up in Spart.inburg, and thus Mrs. Piokroll became an operativo in tho first ootton mill established in South Carolina. A few years later Mr. Collin removed toa similar mill on Keedy Hiver, a few miles below Grconvillo, and from there he went about the year 182(1 to tho Fork section of this country to tako a half interest in a small yaru mill which the Kev. Levi Garrison, father of the late Henry Oarrison of this county, had established on Llttlo Boavordani creek, one-fourth of a milo below what is now known as Broyles' Mill. lt was hero that Mrs. Piokroll was married January 1">, 1828, tho Hov. Mr. Garrison pei forming the ceremony. Sbo was the mother of thirteen children, ton of whom grew to maturity. Ono of ber sons, a promising young man, was killed in battle at Lookout Mountain, Tennes see, as a member of the Second South Carolina Hilles, during tho Civil war. Four of her children, Mrs. Kate Norris and Mrs. Fd row Cromer of tho Fork; Mrs. John C. Gantt, of Hartwell, Geor gia, and Mr. William B. Piokroll, of Texas, survivo ber. Tho Hov. Henry Bascom Brow no, a prominent mombor of the South Carolina Conference, and Dr. Walker CL Browne, of Atlanta, Geor gia, distinguished in the profession of dental surgery, are ber nephews. Mrs. Piokroll s body was interred yes terday beside that of her husband at Smith Chaped in the Fork, in which church she has held an unbroken mom horship fora period of seventy-five years, the like being probably without a par allel in tho State. Among thc tens of thousands whohavo used Chamberlain's Cough liomcdy for colds and la grippe, during tho past fow years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thus. Whitfield A- Co., 2-10 Wabash avenue, Chicago, one of the most prominent re tail drug (inns in that, city, in speaking of this, say: "Wo recommend Chamber lain's Cough Itomody for la grippe in many eases, as it not only gives prompt and complote r?covory, but also counter acts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia."

CLEMSON COLLEGE DISBANDS. The Students Go Homo on Account of thc Appearance of Scarlet Fover. Tho Clemson Collogo students all loft for their homos last Monday morning, tho immediate causo of the disbanding of tho college being the development of a case of scarlet fever in tho hospital. ; Tho young man w ho has tho disease is Cadet G. I). Levy, of Sumter. It has been known for two weeks that there were a number of cases at Newry. The authorities at Clemson redoubled their rigid precautions, and it was thought by establishing a strict quarantine there would be no danger of getting tho dis ease there. Dr. Rod f oar tl, tho college surgeon, watched closely every slight indisposition and had any young man who was oven slightly unwell to report to tho hospital. How Mr. Levy con tracted the disease is not known. Dr. Rod foam decided on Sunday that. Mr. Levy had scarlet fever. Dr. Hanlin, a prominent physician of Washington, D. C., who is visiting his father. Col. M. B. Hardin, concurred in this opinion. What to do was a serious question. It was thought to bo a serious matter to disband; a more serious ono not to. At most, institutions whoro the student body is scattered it would not bo necessary to disband, but where there aro470students in ono building, tho case is difToront. Not to disband meant about DOO cases. To disband meant possibly only one; probably a dozen. After careful consid eration of tho matter, the authorities decided to give tho students leavo of absence until notified to report for duty. lt was thought best to suspend immedi ately because the disease would spread until it would havo boon necessary to suspend a little later anyway, when there would be danger of spreading tho fever olsowho re. Tho corps of cadets was assembled in tho college chapel, and Dr. Hart/.og ex plained tho existing conditions. Dr. Redfearn gave advice as lo what should be done if any ono developed a case. Since the Christmas holidays aro so near, not more than two or three weeks' work wdll be lost. During this vacation the barracks will bo fumigated and every means of contagion removed. Four Children Die of Nctjlccl. George Griffin and w ife, w hile, wein tried last, week in Nash county, North Carolina, for causing the death of Grif fin's four children by a former marriage. The. oldest of the four was barely ten. Griffin and the step mother put tho chil dren in an out-house sixty foot from their house and loft them there on one miserable bed with no attention. They fell ill w ith dropsy and in June one died. Tho body lay on tho bed beside the liv ing children. Ali wero covered with bedsores and they and tho bed itself were alive with maggots. The evidence was so horrible as lo sicken judge ami jury. If was in evi dence that the step mother had said she would move the miserable little dirt-eat ing devils out into tho out-house and let them die. The grand jury bad returned a true bill for murder, but lt was decided to try them for manslaughter, as it was contended for the defense that on ac count of the poverty of Griffin and his w ife, the children died as much of dis ease as of neglect because he could not furnish t hem w ith medicine. No medi cine was given and no doctor saw thom. WIlOll neighbors, who heard of the altair, went to tim aid of the children Griffiii made threats of violence and drove them away. The neighbors, how ever, took away the body id the first child who died and buried it after it had remained some time in bed with (Int liv ing. At intervals of about ten days the other children died and the neighbors had to lake their bodies, Griffin was given a twelve years' sen :vo to the penitentiary and his wife six years. She got the shorter tenn be cause she was no blood relation to the children. Now is the time when croup and lung tron?les prove rapidly fatal. Tho only harmless remedy that produces immedi ate results is Ono Minute Cough Core. lt is very pleasant to lakeland can bo relied upon to quickly cure cough :, colds ami all lung diseases, lt will prevent consumption.
