CARNOT ASSASSINATED.
AN ITALIAN ANARCHIST 81AI1S TUB I'lUSIDKXT
OF FRAWfif
Lyons, June '2.A.?The most intense excitement
has been caused everywhere in
France by what will probably prove a sueF
ccssful attempt to assassinate President firnot.
To dc-cribe the excitement in this city
r would be almost impossible. The President
was visiting Lyons in connection with the
International Exhibition. Upon his arrival j
here he was tendered a reception at the pre- i
feclure, alter which lie visited the exhibition. !
After spending some time at the exhibition
lie proceeded to the Palais do Commerce, j
whero il Ipiiiniii'l warn irivtmi 111 lr< linn.n*
At 9.25 o'clock to-night Presidcut (,'arnot j
started fcr the theatre, where a gala per- I
foriuunce was to be given because of his j
presence in the city. Several carriages were
in the procession, the lir.-t one being occttpie i i
by the President. Curuot's carriage was I
driven slowly u'ottg in front of the Pu'ace
of Coiutucrce, and then turned into the Hue
de la llcptiblique, still following the facade
of the palace. When half way down the
street, which was lined with enthusiastic j
crowds of people, who were loudly cheering, j
a man ru-hed out of the crowd and sprang i
upon the steps of the President's landau.
Just at this moment t'arnot was waviu;;
his right hand, saluting with his hat in his
left hand, in response to the ovation that '
was being given hint by the crowd The i
people close to the carriage saw that the man ;
tiding 011 the step had a knife in hi> hau l,
the glare of the electric lights tliey saw
blade gleaming in
s nnn descended, and then President
wis to

MBHQBSfl^Pcd over his heart steel had
entered It's body.
Mr. liivaud, prefect of l.yons, who wa? (
seated behind t'arnot, struck the assassin a j
blow full in the face and knocked him from i
the step thus preventing the tu t 11 from again 1
stabbing the President, wlneli it tva< h- I
evident intention to do.
Instantly cries of "l.e President t-t a- asin!"
"Mi rte l'assassin !" wt re heard on
every side, and the crow 1 in the vicinity of
1 he cat ringc swelled to ciicrtiioit? proprrtioiis
every member of it se tuiu :ly intent upon
killing the u?sus?iii. lie was gra?pel by a
dozen bunds and li's life would have then
and there pai I the forfc t of his criuic lia 1 it
not been for severii sergeants who arrested
liitn and attempted to draw Inn away from
liis captors. This was found to be imp ssible.

urnu fiom instant dc itli Iliows wn aimed
tit his face mi l head over the shoulders of
the police, who had by this time arrived,
and many of the blows landed faitly. At
last the police succeeded in deiving the how!
iug mob back a fo jt or >o from their prisoner,
but to move tue cipl.ve \v:i- a physical
impossibility.
In tic meantime the news of the attempted
murder hail spread with lightning-like
rapidity, and mounted guards were sent m
the ail of the policemin. who win
struggling to preserve tt>c lif of the as-aWith
drawn sabres in their han Is the gum- . |
rode dowu into the swilling rnwd, which
slowly gave way before the h rses, mil at
last the centre of the m>b was reached.
Then a cordon was formed around the ten
almost exhausted policemen at.d their captive
was marched to the polio; station.
liven thus surrounded the prisoner was
not safe, as men in the crowd made frantic
endeavors to reach him. The guards repelled
these attacks with tiro tlat side of their
swords, whi'c at the same time keeping
watchful eyes upon the crowd to prevent the
prisoner from being shot. .Maledictions
( IMpIt routed upon the captive and never be
^lUivlias such a wild indignation against a
human being been seen iu this city.
In the menntimo physicians were hastily
summoned to a'tend the l'resideut, who had
almost immediately been conveyed to the
prefecture. A careful examination was made
ii mo wouuu, iiiiti tlie Uoc'ors dcc'itrel tli.it
tliv coud lion of M. Cartiot was hopeless.
Santo held a newspaper in his hand as lie
pressed through the crowd and sprang upon
the step* of the carriage in which Caruolsat
lie snatched a dagger from tho folds of the
newspaper and plunged it i..u the President
s abdomen near the liver. < ariiot sank
hack unconscious. The news spread wildly
to every part of the city. Infuriated crowds
tilled the streets. Itefore lit o clock tin
Italian restaurant had been sacked and the
po ice were obliged to strain every nerve to
protect the I'tilian consulate.
I'aris. June 2"?.?President t'aruot died at
12:-l"> o'clock this morning. The assassin is
an Italian named ties a re Giovanni Stiuto.

Ilns j?ij\ one noticed the gradual ami
gratifying prtgre-s of temperance in this
tov\n the past ten or twelve years? Twelve
years ago seven barrooms did prolitable
business in the town of Union, but at
the time the dispensary law was put in
force, one year ago, there were only two
barro >ins in operation, and the owner of one
of them to'd us on the day lie closel up, he
had made very little money : that this p'ace
could not support more thau one barroom
well.
'.t mu?l ho rcuietnhcred that this was
before the dispensary wa> opened here, and
we have undoubted au'h rity for saying,
couple I with our per.-sual observation, that
up to that time cases of drunkenness ou the
stree > h i I become less evcty year. In
fact, tw> years ago a drunken mm was an
tine inuson sight on the -trcets, an I arrests
for drutr<eaaes> were ve-y rat". On the
lirst day tha* the dispells try wis opened we
<aw more men drunk th in we had seen, nil
put together, in live years bcf.ro. Before
the di-pensary was closed by the decision of
the Supierne Court, however, the town Ir.d
regtrntd its ticriu il condition of s ibriety, to
a'l o'ihcinf appc ir.mcc, and we honestly
believe that noirly nil the cxccss've drinking
during that nine ui >nths was done
through the blind tigers.
A high in oral sentiment, incub ated in a
great measure by the agitation of temperance
by individuals and through the various
temperance at.d other moral organizations,
is growing stronger and stronger every day
against the u-*"f iutoxi "ants as a beverage.
I he hcrtt ifore fishionable eustiun of .Irinkin/
wlii-l..,y hibi'Milly is beeomtn/ very
un-'i-hi na'de, even wit h tl jse who in litlgc
the ha' it m l^rately.
I'u.-c and _ 1 women are exercising their
piwc t il inllueuee up in society, in every
stdieie. t" e tab'i-h a tnoril reformation in
t'oat litie. w it ii . 'iirity and forbearance a*
the law : larrtin for tne weak and
erring. It -'usurer foiinlation than arbitrary
e t. ; ,1-ary law, and the reform built
upon it ts -'.under and tune permanent,
bee aii-e : the many pr >p- wliieli stand
ready to prevent its falling.
As afutlher evi lence of the progressive
and beneficent >p:iit of temperance in the
town, we call to uiiud n any who twentylive
yers ag) were habitual hard drinkers.
Then society winked at it, and an occasional
drunk furnished funny jokes for the socinl
eiroles to hiugli at.
Nearly all of those men have gone to their
eternal homes ; lut it is gratifying to note
that in later years a large numher of them
became temperate, nyc, religious men, and
caMi year the number of those happy reformations
have increased. until now, although
we are aware that much whiskey is still
drank in I'nLu. an habitual drunkard is
rare among us.
A; any rate, it there are more drunkards
than we think, temperance and society have
gtiuedaxe y important step forward, in
the fact that they are ashamed of their unfortunate
habit and Jo not blaznt it before
the w 1 hi ; an i -oe ety now lo^ks upon "an
oeei-i J' I (V very, vew^fv/ joke.
We have two liccuscd biriuotus in town
now. and we are tru'y - /fry the town council
author!/. them. We think it is wrong
in principle, besides being contrary to the
law uf the State, as left by the decision of
the Supreme Court, and we are fearful it
will cause much expensive litigation, if
nothing wot-.-e.

9&t~ It ta always pleasant to rcti'l aud
record tb? successes an ! accomplishments of
the youth of either sex of llio County or
town of Uuion, and il is with unusual pride
that we take the following rery flattering
notice of the performances of Miss Eli/. tbeth
(irimball, tho gifted daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. II. M. Urimbull, of this town,
a graduate of deduction from the Charleston
, ut the late commencement
exercises of iuut institution :
A piano duet l>y Misses Konig and Vcrncr
happily dispelled any slut le of pathos. A
tenderly fanciful romance, brilliantly executed,
followed l>y a minuet, expressed the
DO liny oi I no 9 uiuugm, ai mv
same time the performers' appreciation and
ability. All hearts were thus tuned to the
dainty, ethereal, tender ^ruces of the scene
before I'rospero's cell. Miss Elizabeth Grimbull
taking four characters. This charming
number, so admirably worked out in its wide
eeope of seus'.bility, "from grave to gry.
froui lively to severe,'' was highly suggestive
of the spice of l.fe," "as changeful as man,
and because of that change as bewitching bs
woman." The speaker's voice, attuned
to run the gamut of feeling, was that of
Israiel.
Miss Grimbdl possesses a magnetism that
will almost make the impossible easy, l'o
Miss Gritiiball, who has taken the highest
course under Mi-s Jenkins, study.ng earnestly
during years crowded with serious
work of the regular school course, was presented
a jewel in gracious acknowledgment of
her faithfulness.
The essays were so singularly free from
any suggestion of the novice that each is
highly deset ving of u spec al mention
Miss Euzaheth Griui ball's "Fatuous Women
of the French Revolution'' held all the lire
of burning impulse, the impetuosity, the
cruelty cl a fickle French mob. Each sentence,
ripe will fart an I suggestion, with
1 delivery which hosp ke vocal training,
contributed to make this paper one of the
most enjoyable fea'uio- of the evening. Its
brief outline was: "What will not woman,
gentle woman, due'." The influence and
patriotism of Madame Roland,
"A woman mixed -with such pure elements
That were all virtue and re'igion dead
She'd make them newly, being what she
was."

The following letters arc of so vital interest
u Charleston that tiiere can l>c no neel for
n apology for their publictUi >n in full :
To the Ivlilor of The News ami Courier:
enclose n letter froui Mr. II twin Walters,
f Kansas City, Mo., which will speak for
tself. Mr. Walters has been assistant Slate
;eo!ogi?t of Missouri n.nl is a man of niuch
xpericnce in the location of railrtiels. In
iMition to being a geologist lie is a civil
nginctr of ability, lie is well known in
his part of the country.
For a number of years 1 have been intcrsteil
in the builJingofau Last ami West
aiiroal. I'm- company is waiting a revival

again ami prosecute it to a successill
issue. What says Charleston ?
Ilespeetfully yours. L>. A. Thomas,

Kansas City, .Mo., May II, 1S'.>2.
Mr. 1>. A. Thomas, (iaH'iiey, S. CV?Dear
;ir : I see hy the newspapers that Clu rles011
is agit Wing the subject of Western tuule
xltnsioii. Now. as tIk-re i? 110 better way
o exteini tragic than that of building a direct
adroad. and knowing that you are intercstd
in such an enterprise, and remembering
cir con versa'inis on the subject at the sev>ral
times of my visits to South Carolina, 1
id lrcss you this letter.
In the first plica, Kansas City and the
leeplo of the West generally are not mini
ml ful of their interests. While it is true
hat we can reach tide water on the coast of
I'exas at a distance of about three hundred
nilvs less tliuii we can reach the Atlantic
leaboard, yet the tvine from here to Kurope
ria the Carolina ports is about fifteen liutiIrod
miles shorter than via Texas pons
We realize that the salvation of the West
iud Central We-t depends very 1 irgely on
he extent with which wo utilize b.>th routes.
In short, our pvofde are not at all modest :
h?-y want "ever; thing in sight.
i hnrleston mi I oilier Carolina ports are
lece-sible to the West, hut inasmuch as
'barlest ii has deep water, is n great comuercial
centre ami lias uiiicii local capital, it
s probab'y the l?c-t point for the llastern
er miiius.
At the time of the Hiring t i urc I, cs a
ivil engineer and !/eol 'gist, was making a
iri>!iniiii-irv siirviiv . r reeomiuis llico of a
u'j'o from Kansas City s-utitItcust. It is
that mulct* a new management the
tine enterprise may 'o revived. The Ivuia-<
t'i'y. U.scc>la and Southern Kailruid is
>ui t from here to Oceol i, one limnlre I ami
.hirty-.-even miles in the right direction. It
is the property of John 1. BUir, of Ulairsrnvn;itrJ.
mrryauuui yens -xmi ami,
course, tiitisi soon permit tlic road to go
nlo other bauds
The natural route to tlic seaboard appears
0 be via New Madrid, Mo., or some neighboring
point on the Mississippi Kiver. thence
ia Nashville and lvuoxvillc, 'l'eun., (lendersonville,
Chimney Hock, N. (1 , U iffncy, S.
and thence down Broad Hivpr and on
southeast to Charleston.
This would give easy grades over the Blue
KiJge and all intervening mountains 'l itis
would utilize the charter in North and South
,'arohna that tlie company holds to which
fott belong.
The immense water power aloug Broad
Kiver for seventy-live utiles could bo developed
if litis road was built, and manufictttrtig
towns could be founded that would afford
1 vast <|uantiiy of local traffic. The remittees
of the eouutry along this route arc
wonderful. They consist of limber, marble,
;rat.t'e, avioj:; ntinera's, ineluduig gold
)t*es, grain, live stock, cotiott, ri?c end limtty
liter tteiits of eijital importmet. Above all
he through traffic from the South Atlantic
sou lit ry tind the Old World to the great
West and lite return of our great store of
igricultural and grazing products would unlot^te
Ijy a "sum c gigantic proportions,
fitoit, again, lhi? ,i,i;r.ad wnu'd be another
ink in lite boti i or chain thai, oimjs the
West to i lie S .tit It. Tito commercial and

nt depcu Is upon the manner of conducting

of the State primary, c-imlidutes are rcjuire

if more than two are running for the same

the occasion ; and his efforts wero crowned
with success.
Mr. Ilruce is a man win believes in success,
and wheu he takes hold of anything
his chief object is success, and ho works up
to it.
In due time a largo crowd gathered in the
grove around the II iptist church and about
eleven o'clock the exercises was begun by
singing "Sweetly [testing." Then an approp.iutc
prayer by Kev. \Y. K. llarr.
I'rof. litticc then introduced the first
speaker, J. C. Wallace, lisq., of the Union
liar, who expressed great pleasure in being
again permitted to nitugle with tho people
ot this community, giving it considerable
praise, for which i vo ce the sentiment of

thanks, lie said he could safely speak of
the | e tple here as friends, as lie has been
gt.ing in and around the pi tec a considcrab'c
part of his lite, lie then took a retrospective
vijw of his very youthful (and a little
later) days, of the many very pleasant associations
among the people of litis place,
while the hearts of all seemed upon to him, ,
giving him the as-uranco that they were
indeed friends.
Ilis speech was. of course, on cduca'lou,
and he dwelt on muscular education as woll
as on mind education, lie likened tho
ehi'd's mind to in un-haped billet of steel,

was particularly good ami seas ouablo, ami

beiog very proud of his school, having formed
a deep affection for the scholars, and
assuring the pa rous that he worked to the

children, and that if lie should be called to
another field other than tlii?, lie would feel
happy in knowiug that he did his best to do
his duty here, and wherever lie may iu the

recollections of the scholars, and in his hcarf
love for them lie spoke very tcuchiqgly of
his separation troui them, for awhile, ut
least ; it may be forever.
President B. B. Craighead, of Clerosou
Agricultural College, then addressed the
audience, and was listened to with undivided
attentiou from everyone. All who heard
him it will hear me out in saying that his
address was ju?t splendid.
lie spoke of bis interest being identified
with that of farmers, lie being the honored
I'resi lent of a Farmers College, in wlrch
nearly every stu lent was a farmer's son, and
of the nrni j reus ins that he was glad that lie
came here, the chief ones weio to tpjdrcs..
this school, an 1 the pleasure of seoing sevs
era! parents who had sons under liitu in
Clcmson College. He said it had been suppi>s
d that when u speaker went to address a .
country people, he must inake his speech
thin and intersperse it with anecdotes, but
lie, as u son of o, farmer resented it. lie
took for his subjcut. "The printing pre**, g
pnvcrful factor iu civilizuiou." 1 wish, Mr,

of many great a lvancewcuts it ha l been instrumental
in cariying forward, the educai

ihe first printing pies*, up to the present

much good, and Was d >ing so, the press w*a
