C OLLUM IIA, S. (2., Nov. 8--8oul Carolina covered hersell with glory ii the election yesterday. She gave thb straight Democratic tce, irom Pres! dentlal electors to Coioner, a good rous lng majorily of the votes cast. General apathy and the certainty c party triumph robbed the day of an: marked en thusiasm on the part of thi Democrats. And as a consequence the vote polled was exceedingly light-thb total reaching only about 80,000. From the returns from all ove r .ti State it is apparent that the Democratie vote nu ,bered about 63,000 the Repub lican about 15,000, and the People' party about 2,600. The Populists arn the only ones who will be suirprised al the result-that Is if they have been pin ning their faith to the boasts of thel1 leaders. In all of the seven Congressional Die tric%s of the State the regular Democrati nominees were elected. In the Seventi District alone was the coutest unpleas anLly Close.

J. S. Ernet, presi dent of the nlub, was spattered with eggs, and Jas. F. Fitzgibbons, a contractor, was hit on the back of the head and bad. ly injured. Half a dozen others were more or less bruised. The club marched - the entire length -of the line of march, notwithstanding the volley of eg-.s thro,vn at them all along the way. Chairman Jones, of the Denocrati-' State central committee left the Weaver meeting because of a misunderstanding with Mrs. Lease, who demanded per mission to speak During the altercation between the two pandemonium reigned. After General Weaver had concluded his speech of two hours lie introduced J. H. Atwood, of Atchison. The crowd waited to ;jear Mis. Lease, and begat calling ior her. Chairman Jones announced that Mrs. Lease had left to catch a train, but no sooner had he done so than the mdig nant populist alipeared from behind the lies of the opera house and shouted in a loud, melodramatic voice: "Mrs. Lease is here an'] demands permission to speak to the people of Kansas." Senator Peffer and General Weaver tried in vain to pacify her, and she be gan her speech to the cro' d amid wild enthusiasm. She denounced the politi t cians who were iuning the fusion campaign, and declared that the people V muet assert themselves. Alter t,he - meeting Mrs. Lease hunted up Chairman Jones and declared that she would canced all of her Kansas dates. Death on the Balil. LONDON, Nov. 7.-An appalling rail. way accident oucurred early this morn ing near Thirsk,in Yorkshire, by which nine persons were killed and a large - number injured. The express train which leaves Edinburgh every evening for London, was running at full speed I as it approached Thirsk, when ahead of it appeared a heavily laden goods train. The engineer of the express re versed his engine and put on the brakes, but the momentum of the B heavy express was too great, and it, F dashed into the goods train making a I most terrible wreck. T: add to the horror the cars caught fire and were 8 destroyed. A large number or persons from near-by places were soon at the scena and did everything possible to 1. extricate the dead and injured. The a burning cars greatly hampered their a efforts, but had it not been for theii . bravery the lov of li re would have been much greater. [ s' 10 1 the wiecl is pitiable. Some of the bodies taken out of the debris are burned beyond all resemblance to humanity. Their clatb 8 ing had been destroyed, and in some V cases the jewelry worn was melted by t the intense heat. This will render the identification of the dead extremely diflicult, if not altogether impossible. . A wrecking train was dispatched to the scene as soon as the fact of the dis. aster became known. A number of physicians were carried to the wreck aLd they at once devoted themselves 1 to relieving the sufferings of the in. jured. Bloody Work In Anderson. A NDERSON, Nov. 8.- A negro brough t the news to the city this evening just af ter sundown that Bob Carter, a notori ous white Republican of this county, had shot and instantly killed -Columbup Glenn, a Democratic manager of the eh-c I tion at Holland's store, about thirteen - miles from this p)lace. it is supposed that Carter was the Federal sup)ervisor of elections. r The negro bring'ng the ne ws said that s Carter and Glenn had some angry words I and that Carter drew his pistol and shot I Glenn twice, once in the stomach and1 once in the breast. The shooting then became promiscuous. Carter was shot - three times, and the negro said lie was a left lying on the ground and it was sup -posed lie would die. J. W. Earle was shot in the stomach, and his brother, IIampton Earle, was shot in the arm, and Henry HIolland, a Democratic no . gro, was shot in the breast, 1t was supp)osed tkat Carter and J. WV.

A P'etroleurn shp iiurne. t P'Alis, Nov. 4.--The British barge Noreroms, which left P'hiladelphia on October 2 for Rtouen, Frarace, with a load of petroleum, has beer burned in the Seine, with a loss of three, and prob ably ten, lives. Capt. lioop, who was in command of the Norcross, had his wife with him and both were saved. Ilhow t,he lire originated is not known. VWhieni it was discoveredl it had gained considerable head way, and every effort n as made to prevent it f rom spreading. 2 As soon as the petroleum 'caught, an explosion followed and a bright flame shot up into the air, where dense smoke & almost hid( the bark from those on -shore. The crew rushed to the side .and leaped into the river. TIhe cap t ain's wife was savedl chiefly by her ihusband's exertions. Five others were also saved. The remains of three men i horribly burned were found in the river; seven others are missing, and it I is thoughit they have gone to the bot tom. Several of the survivors were in jured by the burning petroleum, which ignited on the water.

IIe says that the Alliance i organized was only prelim!nary to wb is to ibllow. The infirence from Col uel Dargan's talk is that from the begii ning the Alliance was intended at great political scheme. That schen has developed into the third party of tl present day. On thi 4 subject Coloni Dargan says that his mission is, if I can, to convince the people of the Stal that he is right, but it he cantiA ao th he is still % ith his people.

As it was I will not blame ti reporter, lest I do him an injustice, bi I will simply restate my position in Ia guage of my own choosing. First. I do say that the Alliance declining as a secret class organizatio and 1 hail this as an evidence that it growing healthily in the direction of 1 true mission. Its work as an agen for enlightening and unifying the farme is accomplished. The tnlightenment gave showed the farmers they mu seek for national legislatiou as a remei for several cautes of their great depre sion, and having f0und out this fact, the wisely organized a great political mov( ment (tile P.oplc's party) to enfor( their "demands.'' Into this politici organizantion all sympathizers with Lli oppressed laborers and producers ca enter and the work will be open n( secret as heretcfore. From the Allianc to the People's party is a natural heal thfui movement of development. Not being strong of body about th! time, I gave up my district lecturoshil (my term being out. I simply decline re-election,) because I felt that econoni of elfort could better be made in that the the new field upon which I have ent,ere< to wit; tile organization of t,he People party. To this latter end I propose t give every spare moment for the nem !ew years. 1 think the only chance for the tiiir part,y success in South Carolina is white primary.

"It is a prohibi 3r tion bill that is as strong as it possibly ks can be. From the recent vote in the it primary we can judge that the people of South Carolina want real prohibi tion. If the bill that we have drawn up is passed by the legislature it will give us a law that will do aw ty with the ar le gument that prohibition doem not pro ie hibit. The bill will do all that it claiis 31 to do because it contains within itself ie the provisions to make it practically ef .e fective. It Is so recognized by the op Is ponents of prohibition. I have been a talking this week with many men in b Charleston who agree that this legisla . ure is largely in favor of prohibition le and a genuine prohibition law is going e to be passed.

The Sout ern States nl return Cleveland electoi and appirently the only effect of tlI light made there by the liepublical and Third Party men has been to brir out an increased Democratic vote ar give a larger majority to Cleveland.

NEW YoRi, Nov. 9.-William F. SFlarrity, chairmap of the Democratic National Committee, being asked for d some expression regarding the causes of the election of Cleveland and Stavenson, ysaidl: d, "At the cloie of last week I stated e my oliLion that the people of the United .e States were with the Democratic party upon the issues of the campaign, and m recorded my opinion that a verdic', on t- election day would be rendered ik ac ie cordance with that sentiment. r- "The leading issues of the contest e- from the first to the last have bee% the tariff and the force bill. As to the former, there has been a universal Democratic gain through the campai a re of edueation, which had its origin in President Cleveland's tarit message )e of December, 1887. On the -juestion of m the domination of the federal force at the ,)o polls in elections held under State laws, 1o the issue, strongi and clear since the of Minneapolis Convention, was more a. sharply defined by the attempted abUsa is of the authority of the Uhlited -S ates for partisan ends, which was so forcibly c- brought to the minds of citizens of New )t, York. Concerning the demand for sound )k and stable currency, as formulated in ,c- the letters of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. ,It Stevenson, the country seemed to have at made up Its mind some time ago so de ler cidedly as to justify the prediction that tly not less than 24-t o1 the electoral votea Ily would he cast for the Democra'.ic nomi nees. he o"i have, during my experience In pol 1 iticse, been reluctant to prophesy, but it ve is my good fortune that the few positive - predictions I have made have been ful filled. I am, therefore, naturally grati a fled at iding that the electoral vote has Id equatle: the estimate of 244 votes I ut made, and that it includes all the States rh specilled in making up that total. The rh Democratic current has reached not only the States of the South, New York, ct New .crsey, Connecticut, Indiana, Wis i- consin and Michigan but has added to id them at least the great State of Illnois. k: with her twenty-f our electoral votes.

In this way thie it President and Vice-'President choson 3- yesterdlay will receive thle votes of not r - 108s tian 2468 electors, with p)robably one t from Michigan, and possibly nine votes e fr'om California, which would raise the 1total number of Democratic elP"'ors to a 279.
