At Staunton, Va., on the 10th of next September, or soon thereafter, the Virginia Court of Appeals will decide whether it will give Cluverius, convicted of the murder of Fannie Lillian Madison, a rehearing. If their decision is adverse, as it now seems 1 sure to be, Judge Adkins, of the Richmond j Hustings Court, will appoint the day of ex- | ecution. i, ? In Petersburg, Ya., last Saturday, while ( an iron dealer was unloading a wagon filled with old artillery material, which had been purchased from the government, a nine inchshell which the dealer supposed to have been properly unloaded, exploded among the group of workmen and others. Sixteen persons, including four children, were killed and several more injured. ? An extradition treaty between England and the United States has been sigued. In addition to the customary clauses the treaty provides for the surrender of dynamite miscreants. At the foreign office on Wednesday it was stated that the whole matter was ripe; that a communication would be made to the press in the usual way and that the treaty would doubtless be ratified at Washington after the customary routine. ? Col. Charles R. Jones, editor of the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer, announces himself as "a candidate for representative in the Con- , gress of the United States from the Sixth 1 Congressional District of North Carolina in ' the fiftieth Congress," and closes his an- 1 nouncement by saying that in due time he ' will make announcement of his views on , public questions, and he proposes to canvass every square mile of the District, and meet , the people face to face. ? A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch of the 14th | says: Ohio may furnish some instances of ( the law's delay, but to-day it has furnished i one of the swiftest visitations of the penalty of the law on record. On Saturday Charles , Gray made an assault upon JMiss Anna ( Bleistle at Upper Sandusky. On Sunday . he was arrested. On Monday he was tried < and convicted. Yesterday he was sen- ] tenced to five years' imprisonment, and to- j day he was brought to the State prison here and placed behind the bars. ? Sometime last year, near Jacksonville, j 111., a man named Fred Hollar was arrested 1 on the charge of stabbing Mrs. William | McLaughlin and her sister so severely that ] they nearly lost their lives. A party of disguised men broke open the jail and shot j Hollar through the aodomen. Before IIol- i lar died he insisted that he did not com- i mit the deed. William McLaughlin, who i had deserted his wife, died recently in < a Western State, confessing in his last mo- i ments that he was the author of the crime < for which Hollar lost his life. I ? The tremendous volcanic explosion in i New Zealand recalls the similar one which < occutred in Java a few years ago.

White, of Oswego, was at < Niagara Falls a few days ago studying the J rapids and the whirlpool. He proposes to f make the swim in a cork suit if the authori-* j ties do not prevent him. If he does he will j probably not live to tell his story. The ( swimming and rowing craze is now on, and j from all quarters come reports of men who ( are to attempt^ feat of some sort or another in connection with the falls, the rapids and j the whirlpool. Two men in Buffalo, N. Y., r are now building a balloon boat in which ( they intend to go over the falls, through the j rapids and all in August. ? ? William It.

There are a number of c other indictments pending against him. r\ Judgment has been suspended until the g next term of the court, in order to give his r counsel opportunity to apply to the court of j appeals for a writ of error. The prisoner is ^ very much emaciated from his close con- ^ finement. The amount of his defalcations v is over one hundred thousand dollars.

James Moore, an engineer on the West- t ern North Carolina Bailroad, who was ar- c rested on the 8th instant, has had his pre- t liminary hearing on the charge of murder, t It appears that on 5th of July, Moore's c train, coming west, four miles from Mor- 1 ganton, was running at the rate of twenty- ( five milesan hour. Theengineer saw, about i one hundred and fifty yards ahead, a man <. walking on the track. Me blew for brakes i and reduced speed to twenty miles per hour, i The man on the track, however, continued i his perilous walk, and the witnesses, the s prisoner and brakemen, who testified before Esquire Tull, at Morganton, said that , Engineer Moore then reversed his engine, a Krocess very dangerous at that rate of speed; ( ut the train was too near the unfortunate ( man to be stopped before it had struck and . instantly killed him. The dead man was { recognized as Clinton Dobson, a deaf mute i ' who lived near the point of the accide. t. j( Ai'ter a full hearing of the facts, Justice: Tull found thecaselackingin probable cause, j and discharged the warrant against the i prisoner. The defendant was formerly of Greenville, S, CM and is said to be one of | the most reliable engineers on the road. ? While there has been a superabundance of rain in the Southern States the present summer, New England is suffering from a drought, the disastrous effect of which has rarely been witnessed in that section of the country. For nearly two months, except in local instances, little or no rain has fallen, i and from all directions reports have been received of the great damage that has been done to the later crops, vegetables and fruits. j All through Massachusetts the grass is perfectly dead, while the leaves on the trees have turned yellow and are falling from the boughs. All the rivers are low, especially the Connecticut and Merrirnac. In both these valleys the rivers have dwindled to mere ribbons, while most of their tributaries have gone drv. causing a large number , of mills to shutdown and throwing an army j of hands out of work. Along the COnnecti- j cut River the damage done is very serious. ( The hay crops have been gathered, but bar-1 i ley, oats and vegetables are a total loss, and the citizen are afraid passing locomotives | will fire the inflammable materials. A j ( number of towns have put the inhabitants ( on short rations, as the supply is nearly ex- , hausted. In Vermont the great grazing j grounds are grassless, and great trouble is { * experienced in getting sufficient fodder. i ? The bill granting pensions to the sol- 1 diers and sailors of the Mexican war, which j has passed both houses of Congress, directs ( the Secretary of the Interior to place on the i pension rolls the names of surviving otti- t cers and enlisted men including marines, militia and volunteers, who being duly enlisted, actually served sixty days with the t Army or navy of the United States in t Mexico or on the coast or frontier thereof, > or enroute thereto in the war with that na- 1 tion, or who were actually engaged in battle ( in said war, and were honorably discharged I and their surviving widows had not remar- a ried, and provided that every such officer, s enlisted man or widow who is or may be- t . ome G2 years of age, or who is or may become subject to any disability or dependency equivalent to some causes recognized :>y the pension laws as sufficient reason for the allowance of the pension, shall be entitled to the benefits of the act, except where >uch disability or dependency was incurred in aiding or abetting the late rebellion, fhe pensions are to be eight dollars per month, payable only after the passage of the net, the law not to apply to persons already receiving pensions at or over that rate, md where pensioners entitled under this law ire already receiving pensions less than sight dollars per month the pensions shall ^nly be for the difference up to eight dollars. It is thought that the President will ipprove the bill, or at least permit it to become a law. * !%!% ? %? . _ . * .. mc gtrsviur iswqwtm'. YORKVILLE, S. C\3> \y WEDNESDAY, JULY 21. 1886.

Lenox Maxwell, convicted of murderingCharles Arthur Preller, in St. Louis, was sentenced on Wednesday last to be hanged on the 27th of next August. General Sickles has made a proposition for a reunion of the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, on the field in July, 1887, being the twenty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. G. M. Coffin, of South Carolina, has been appointed chief of the Jivision of issue in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and J. G. Ferguson, 3f Maryland, teller. A revolution has broken out in Tamaulipas, Mexico. The insurgents have captured the town of Agualeguas. Five citizens were killed. "A Northern miser had accumulated 87,000 in pennies. They were shoveled into sacks and sent to the heir in a freight car. Governor West, of Utah Territory, has issued a proclamation to the Mormons reminding them that in violating the law of the land in reference to the marriage relation, they incur a heavy fine and imprisonment. ? Railroad News from the Upper End df the Line.?The Shelby New Era of last Wednesday says: The Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company by its counsel, McBrayer & Ryburn, has entered suit against I. W. Garrett for $25,000 damage "or refusing to deliver the Cleveland county )ondsaccording to contract. A suit for $25,)00 has also been entered against I. W Gar ett, Dr. F. M. Garrett and the Carolina Central Railroad Company. Regarding the progress of the work on the ine, the Shelby Aurora of Thursday says: rhe Massachusetts & Southern Construction Company are expecting daily the arrival of ron at Black's, S. C., where they will be fin next month track laying. The bridges ind trestles have not been built and completed to Shelby and Black's, and the gradng will be finished next month the entire listance between the two places. It retires time and fair weather for grading. L'hey expected to have the train running to Shelby by July 4th, but it looks like it will lot reach here in two months.

Col. Johnton expected, he says in a letter published Rrmfother column, that the train would run o Charleston in one year. In reference to the subscription by Burke ounty, X. C., of *4S,000 in aid of the Southern and Western Air-Line Railroad, vhich we understand to be part of the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company's system, we learn from the same | lape'r that at a recent meeting of the Comnissioners of the county, they called up the ailroad election case, and invited discusion on the subject, both for and against, fudge Avery made a short but very able peech, quoting from the very ablest authorty in the land to show that the intention of he law was that a majority should rule, in ill cases; and insomuch as there were 1)7(1 ;otes cast for the railroad and only 4:19 igainst, they (the commissioners) were jusiliable in declaring that the measure had arried. Col. J. G. Bynuin spoke two hours, mdeavoring to show that from the result of he election the commissioners were not jusifiable in declaring that the measure had arried. After deliberating for twenty-four tours the Commissioners decided (the jhairman voting aye on a tie) to make the iubscription, conditioned on the Company ornplying with the terms asset forth in the totice ordering the election. The point at ssu? was that a majority of all the voters n the county did not vote in favor of the iubscription. Tiik Fifth Congressional District.

[ If there is such a thing as a "wet streak," i this year, we certainly can boast of being a I part thereof. On Monday night last the ! rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a ; loud blast. In the westerij part of this : township the rain washed land terribly, the hail ruined some of the crops, and the ! wind played fantastic tricks with trees and ! other tilings. It blew hard enough to : throw down Doc Garrison's gin house, and rumor says it blew away his well, but the committee of investigation has not yet verified the report. It must be that his wellhouse was blown away instead of his well. However this may be, it is certain that large trees in. great numbers, that were never blown down before, fell before the putting powers of this wind. Again on o m/1 nlrrht f llA OAI I \lfOO I >y t'UIIWUU^ ev ening illiv* III^IIV uiv ouu truo literally soaked by the rainfall. Fords and bridges suffered alike. Cannot our County Commissioners have a substantial bridge built over Sugar creek, near its mouth, at the site of the old Doby bridge? One can be built to stay, and it ought to be done. It would cost considerably more than an ordinary bridge; but the durability and freedom from accidents would fully justify additional expense, and the result would be economical. The health of thiscommunity is still bad, but the sickness is of milder form than latterly. Drummers are plentiful, but candidates are scarce; only one of the latter class has been to see us. The Farmers' Club reorganized on Saturday and got up considerable debate on a resolution to pIant,not more than five acres of cotton to the plow-horse. This was discussed and amended by degrees in various ways up to twelve acres, and then was referred to a committee. Will it be reported on? This club business is a good thing; but it is susceptible of abuse as well as "the Knights of Labor." We hope to see some beneficent influence exercised by this club; but, in order to do this, they must try to hit the mark and not shoot over nor under it. If they would all obligate themselves not to plant more than fifteen acres of cotton to the horse, there might be some probability of sticking to the contract. Then the acreage might be gradually lessened. Would it not be a better plan to obligate themselves to make a certain amount of manure to the horse, and let the planting be regulated by the amount of manure ? Some of our farmers are sowing German millet as anauxilliary to the corn crop, and others are going to do so. This is a move in the right direction. Pens might also be profitably sown for forage ; and the vines are excellent when well cared for. Among all good gardens our section perhaps takes the cake for beans. One gentleman claims to have gathered eight bushels ef 3o1arl lioans frnm three vines. At least some of his friends so report; and they further state that the same gentleman was astonished the other day at hearing the cry of young chicks in his manure pile, and, on examination, found several of that species without other maternal influence except his bank of horse-manure. This may seem wonderful; but our section of country is full of wonders, and, it you would be social enough to pay us a visit you may, like the queen of Sheba, say that half had not been told. Come over and see for yourself; or, as you need not be at the trouble of seeing, you can hear for yourself, and still the wonder will grow. Axon. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, July 19.?A large crowd assembled at the Fair grounds on last Wednesday afternoon to see a match game of baseball between the Chester and Winnsboro clubs. A number of fair ladies honored the occasion with their presence. Both clubs did excellent work, and while Chester was victorious, it required all the skill they could command. The following gentlemen composed the Chester club: J. A. Gray, J. H. McLure, W. D. Melton, J. E. Curry, L. H. Curry, J. Roddey, C. Irby, J. (i. Murphy \Vill)ur Means. The following comprised the Winnsboro club: L. F. Goatling, J. S. Cathcart, (J. D. Williford, CfT Worthy, (3. K. Rabb, A. S. Galllard, B. Elliott, w. O. Brice, N. Knnehtfn. Irby and Roddey were the pitcher- and catcher of the Chester team, and/Eiliott and Worthy were the pitcher and catcher of the Winnsboro team. Mr. John W. Dunovant, of Chester, was the umpire, and Mr. J. J. McCarty, of Chester, was the scorer of 21 to 14 runs. Chester's fine battery contributed greatly to their success, and while Winnsboro did excellent field work they were not successful in hitting Irby's balls. The game was witnessed by a large number of spectators, and passed off without the occurrence of a single unpleasant incident. The Chester club entertained their Winnsboro friends handsomely at night at Nicholson's Hotel. There is some talk of Chester and Winnsboro combining and challenging the Columbia club. A very pleasant entertainment was given on last Thursday evening on the grounds of the Presbyterian manse. It was given by the Society of Helping Hands and Band of Busy Boys, missionary organizations of the Presbyterian Church. The object of the entertainment was the raising of missionary funds. One of our prominent fanners informed me on last Friday that he never saw such an improvement in the condition of the crops as had taken place in the preceding ten days. A short time ago he was so depressed by the damaging effects of the rain as to believe he could hardly make any-1 ? :~ tiling, lie is now rejoicing m mc ucun that he will make plenty of corn for his own use, and a tolerably good cotton crop. Another large farmer gives a good report of his cotton. The same report comes from nearly every section of the country. The last few days of dry and hot weather have worked a marvelous change in the condition of the cotton crop. With a continuance of favorable weather Chester county will furnish the country with an average crop of cotton. 4 The Chester Democratic Club met on last Friday afternoon, and elected delegates to the County Convention which meets on the 2(?th instant. Mr. F. L. Whitlock and Mr. F. A. Crawford were elected President and Secretary of the Club. The delegates were instructed to vote for the primary election plan of nominating county officers, and to vote for the convention plan of nominating State officers. They were uninstructed as to the mode of nominating the Congressman from this District. The Chester Division of the Sixth Regiment survivors, in accordance with similar action by the Fairiield survivors, determined at a called meeting on last Saturday to hold the next annual meeting of the survivors of this Regiment on the 12th of next month at this place. Col. Coker, of Darlington, will be the orator of the occasion. The Chester Division also decided to hold the annual meeting next year at Petersburg, Virginia. J. Williams, who was badly wounded by T. B. MeCollum in a difficulty several weeks ago, died last night. The scene of the difficulty was on the western side of the county. Rev. C. K. McDonald, of Mecklenburg county, preached excellent sermons on Saturday and yesterday at the Associate Reformed Church. m. - \ For the YorkviHe Enquirer. V AdRHTI/n UAL CM B. An'"Agricultural Club was organized at Massey's Store, York county, on Saturday the 17th instant, with the following officers: President, F. II. Brown; Vice-President, W. S. Wilson ; Secretary, Henry Massey ; Treasurer, John J. Miller. It was moved and seconded that the object of the meeting be explained. After a short explanation by the President, a large j membership was enrolled. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, knowing that it is the opinion of some that such an organization is detrimental to the Democratic party; therefore, Resolved? That the .Democratic party has our full confidence, and we are in full accord with the same. With the feeling of the present oppression, the true intention of this order is for the mutual benefit of agriculture generally. That the citizens be more enlightened as to the benefit of being thoroughly organized, Capt. B. It. Tillman, of Edgefield, S. C., be invited to address the people at this place on the 27th instant, and on that day all the Clubs and citizens feeling an interest in agriculture, are invited to join with us in a grand basket picnic. The Gold Ilill, Bullock's Creek and Hoodtown bands are especially invited; also tho Editors of.the Yorkville Enquikek and the Rock Hill Herald. That after the agricultural speeches, the audience will be entertained by any candidates who wish to be heard. That a committee on arrangements of the following be appointed: E. G. Garrison, W. S. Wilson, James Cansler, Hr. W. i). Hope, J. C. Sandifer, W. J. Adkins and Henry Massey, to meet with the ladies on Monday the 20th, to erect and decorate a stand and make all necessary arrangements. That the committee lie instructed to see that there will be plenty of refreshments for the day, and if possible through this means to meet the current expenses. That a motion from this committee he adopted, that Mr. J. B. Johnson be granted the exclusive sale of refreshments for the day. After a harmonious and pleasant meeting, a motion was made and carried to adjourn, to meet next Saturday at 3 o'clock. A full attendance is requested, to elect delegates to the County Convention. F.

Rock IIill, July 19.?Some weeks ago the Town Council appointed a committee of three of their number to visit the drug stores of our town and examine the prescription tiles and report if they found any irregular or illegal prescriptions for whisky. At the last meeting of the Council the committee reported that they had found 104 illegal prescriptions, as-follows: J. B. Johnson 1, Hope <fc Son *10,' Steele, DuBose & Co. 2, J. J. Haginscfc Co. 91. The Council imposed a fine of SI for each prescription. The Council claims that the prescriptions are illegal, in that the physician giving them failed to certify that the whisky was for medical use.; Messrs. Hagins & Co. at once applied to the Council for a hearing and their petition was granted, and the case will be heard at the next meeting of the Council. A meeting of farmers was held at Massey's Store on Saturday afternoon and an Agricultural Club organized, It was arranged to have a picnic of farmers at that place on the 27th of this month. C'apt. B. It. Tillman will be present and address the meeting. I have been instructed to say in this correspondence that all who are concerned for the agricultural interests of our county are invited to attend. The case of Mrs. Frances 1). Roach, of this place, against the Kentucky Mutual Security Fund Co., of Louisville, was tried in the Circuit Court of Greenville on Friday last before Judge Kershaw. The suit was brought to recover $3,000, the amount of a policy in the Company on the life of her husband, the late Wm. L. Roach. Mrs. Roach was represented by Mr. W. B. Wilson, Jr., and the Company by Messrs. Spencer & Waters, of the York bar, and Hon. Giles J. Patterson, of Chester. The.ver diet was for Mrs. .Roach for the full amount of the policy and interest. It is probable that the Company will appeal. U. S. Deputy C. J. Pride, Jr., went to Union, S. C., on Thursday last for one George B. Cannon, colored*, who was arrested there on the charge of burning the store of Ilenry Massey, in which was also a United States post office, and robbing both the store and the post office, on the night of the 12th of last January. The accused had been detained, awaiting the arrival of the Deputy Marshal, but before he reached Union, Cannon was released by a. trial justice, he having waived examination and given bond in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at the next term of the U. S. Circuit Court, to be held in Greenville. "Our Boys" andJjrfC whole community were pleased to^-See the Yorkville Base Ball Club andAneir friends on Friday last. The game tfas called at G o'clock P.

During the progress of the game Mr. John J. Roach was accidentally struck in the face by a foul ball and very painfully hurt. The Sunday-school Convention of Bethel Presbytery will be held at this place, Wednesday?Friday of next week. The object of the Convention is to awaken a deeper interest in Sunday-school work and to discuss appropriate topics on this subject. Mr. Thomas L. Johnson, the youngest grass widower, was the first to go after his wife. lie left for Greensboro on Saturday. The report of the grand jury to his Honor T. B. Fraser, presiding Judge at the last term of the Court, is highly approved of by our people. It is rumored that Gen. K. M. Law will address the people of this section at this place one day this week. IIal. A CARD. Mr Editor: The published report of the Grand Jury, in your last issue, is not the report adopted by that body and read in open Court. It has been chanr/ed. The question is, by what authority was that report changed, and who did it? We are unuer me impression mui no one nau the right to make any change; much less materially alter and add to the report matters which were never before that body. Can you give the information to a Grand Juror. Replying to our correspondent, we have only to say that the subject matter of the grand jury's report, as printed in the Enquirer last week, is a verbatim copy of the paper handed to the Editor by the Foreman of the grand jury. The only change made in the report, when we prepared a copy for the press, was in the manner of introducing the report of the committee of the grand jury appointed at the last term to examine the publicoftices of the county; but we endeavored to print the text of the presentment in accordance with the directions and explanations of the paper as given by the Foreman of the grand jury himself.? Editor Enquirer. PimiriitiTniv iv att.wta.?An Atlanta dispatch of last Thursday says: On Saturday last the proprietors of the Big Bonanza saloon in Atlanta were arrested by the city authorities on the charge of illegally selling liquor. The doors were closed, but the proprietors got from the Court an order enjoining the city from enforcing the law until the merits of the case could be heard. The saloon had been selling whisky and beer by the quart, and furnishing glasses for it to be drank on the premises. Argument was heard on the restraining order before Judge Clark on Tuesday, and he held that selling by the quart and furnishing glasses for it to be drank at the bar, was selling by retail, and, therefore, a violation of the law. The proprietors thereupon shut their doors. A similar case will come up Saturday against the Kimball House. , A case has been made against the Atlanta Brewing Company for selling beer to customers in the city. This will be the inauguration of long litigation, which will extend to the Supreme Court of the United States. The company has a plant of $150, 000 here, in which they claim vested rights. They will argue before the Courts that to stop their business is a virtual confiscation of this large property. In this litigation the whole question of the constitutionality of the local option Act will come up. ? In the Barnwell Court of Sessions, last week, Miss Emma Connelly was acquitted of the murder of John A. Steedly her alleged traducer. The trial was short and without sensation of any kind. LOGAX.

This institution has been in successful operation sinoe 1S(>0, and oilers opportunities and inducements for female education surpassed by few if any colleges in the land, while the prices of board and tuition are very reasonable. The last collegiate year was one of great prosperity to the college, and we learn that the prospects of the coming year ares, equally auspicious. y HIS SEVENTY-THIRD BIRTHDAY. / Mr. It. C. Kerr, Secretary of the Supervising Committceof the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, celebrated his 7.1rd birthday in that city on the Oth instant.

Bostic, Sheriff of Cleveland county, X. C., which road as follows : "Arrest Nathan Ballis, colored, on down train; or he may take train to-day at Yorkville. Embezzlement. Skin brown ; six feet high." Town Constable R. E. O'Farrell was assigned to make the arrest, and going to the train he confidently approached a colored individual whom he felt sure was his game, and gently tapping him on the shoulder, said, "Why hello, Nathan, are you here?" The man so familiarly addressed seemed surprised at first, but recovering himself, replied, "Yes, Boss ; I didn't expect to find anybody down here that knew me." "0 yes," replied the constable, "you are well known here, and I have met you for the purpose of escorting you up street where you shall have the opportunity of sharing the proverbial hospitality of Sheriff Glenn until the two Governors exchange their traditional compliments, when you may have free transportation back to Shelby." Nathan yielded and while enjoying the Sheriff's hospitality, is calmly awaiting a requisition from the Governor of North Carolina. / PERSONAL MENTION. /^Irs. S. W.

D., were pleased to see him in their midst on Thursday last, it being his first visit to his old home since his removal from here to Due West in November, 1884. When he left home it was his intention to remain here for several days, but unfavorable intelligence from a sick daughter whom he thought to be convalescing when he started, induced him to return An Tlmvtt/lnv ovpnitifr. hi; still lives. It has been a long time since the once familiar name of Rueben Goins alias Reuben Shedd, has met the eyes of the readers of this paper. But 1 Reuben still lives, and at Lincolton, X. C., the place of his home, he seems to be mantaining his old and justly earned reputation, judging by the following from the last Lincoln Xews: The feud that has existed between the two barbers, Mays and Goins, culminated Saturday I night in Mays hunting for Goins with a double barreled shot-gun. Mays was arrested but gave i bond and was released". On Sunday morning, however, he became involved in a tight with the Goins' family and his bondsmen surrendered him. He was lodged in jail and remained there 1 until Tuesday when he gave bond and was set < at liberty. Reuben used to figure extensively in the Sessins Court of York, much to the disgust of Judge Maekey, to whom he was an enigma. His offences were never of the kind usually charged to his race, but were generally, when he appeared as prosecutor, for the purpose of vindi- 1 eating himself, or if he happened to be the de- ' fendant, which was not unusual, it was for a dis- ' play of the manly art. As a prosecuting wit- ' ness he was not a success, but as defendant he usually came clear. It was Mackey's wont' to perpetrate a witicism at some stage of every ' case that came before him, except those in which ; Reuben appeared, and only once was he ever ' known to smile when Reuben was on the witness stand. The late T. J. Hell was subjecting *, him to a rigid cross examination, in the course ' of which he addressed him as Reuben Shedd. < "That is not mv name, sir," replied Reuben. ( "But are you not known by the name of Reuben ] Shedd?" asked counsel. "Yes, sir," said Reuben, "niggers on the street sometimes call me Shedd, but that is not my title here; mv title at Court is Goins?Reuben Coins." At this unique play 1 on words by one innocent of the meaning of the . term "title at Court," the "Court" smiled au- < diblv. < SEVERE WIND STORM. 1 On Wedneshay night last, this town and section were visited by the most severe storm of ] wind and rain that has occurred here for several ; years. The wind commenced about 10 o'clock ' and blew continuously and with much violence f for more than half an hour, a heavy rain falling I in the meantime, accompanied with vivid light- I ning. The course of the wind was from south to i north, and its worst effects were felt east of Main T" !.?? nnrflnn nf thn tnwn covered bv I awccu XII UliO HV.? V. .. ; the storm, two large trees on the Avery lot were ] uprooted and one on Mrs. Russell's lot adjoin- ' ing; near the M. E. Church three large trees were blown down, further east, the top of 1 one chimney of Mr. J. 15. Williams' house was j blown down, and the tops of some of the shade trees in his lot twisted oil", and a large oak on the side of the street near his house blown down. In this part of town a considerable quantity of hail fell, doing much damage to the crops in the j fields, the most serious in a field of corn belong- j ing to W. Ik Steele. About live acres was com- ^ pletely riddled, the ears cut oil" and the stalks < and blades split into shreds. Allen White's or- ( chard, near Mr. Steele's, was almost ruinedi nearly every tre<j in it being twisted oil'or blown j down. South-west of this locality on Mrs. Me- j piinotnr'? lot two trees were blown down, falling i on her well-liouse. The fury of the wind extend- ] ed to Dr. Erwin's residence, and was destructive f to trees on his premises. One tree in the Female ? College lot was uprooted. Every orchard in f this part of town was badly damaged. 1 West of Main street the fury of the wind was not so great. Near Maj. Hart's residence a large poplar was uprooted, and in tlie "McCaw drove," on the extreme western side of which Maj. Hart's ; residence is situated, several trees were uprooted, and limbs twisted from others. South of the depot on the Chester road, a num- i her of trees wero blown down; the top of a chimney of John Garvin's residence was blown 1 down, and around and near the depot seven j large trees were uprooted or twisted oil' midway s the trunks. J From the depot up Main street several trees ; were blown down?one in front of Dowry's store, j one in Joseph Walker's yard and one in Mrs. i Latta's yard. This tree fell on a brick smoke house on the premises, crushing a part of the roof. A tree near II. F. Adiekes' store was blown down, and the shade trees in the Court ' House lot were more or less injured. Aware ] house in rear of C. G. Parish's store was partly , blown oil' its foundation. From this point north the wind was less violent until it reached J the residence of Col. W. P. Wilson, on whose * lota tree was blown down, and 011 John Dennis' f lot near by another was blown down. Further north, on the Lincoln road, several trees in front < )t A. Cody's? residence were blown down. To the west of this, on Judge Witherspoon's lot facing King's Mountain street, a large oak rt'as uprooted. The storm extended no farther in this direction. South it extended below Philadelphia Church, and at this point caught i party of moonlight picnicers who did not get !>onie until long after midnight. The rain continued long after the wind ceased, falling in torrents, and overllowing the banks of :he small streams. The bridge across Fishing ['reek, on the Charlotte road, was turned around, ind the one on the Lincoln road at One-Mile branch, was also moved from its position; but both were replaced early the next day. Fishing ['reek and Turkey Creek were as high as at any :ime during the freshets of the summer, and the lestruetion to crops, gardens and orchards 2<|iii?lly as great. ^ ^ DEATH OF H. T. AA'HEELER. Mr. Hurritt Truman Wheeler died at his resilience in this place at 11 o'clock A. M., on Sunlay last, aged seventy-three years one month ind live days, he having been born in Southburg, Conn., on the 13th of June, 1813. Mr. AA'heeler was by trade a coach maker. lie came to Yorkville in the year 1836, and soon after his arrival entered into business on his own account, which ho continuously conducted until the outbreak of the war, and with remarkable success, a handsome fortune rewarding his perseverance, industry and business methods. For some years after the war he devoted his attention to other business affairs, but about the year 1S77 he resumed the coach and buggy business in the same building in which he had before so long conducted it, and with no less success than crowned his efforts when the field was less occupied with the competition of Northern and AVestern manufacturers. His shops had a wide and enviable reputation for the superior quality of the work they turned off, and we doubt not there are "AA'heeler buggies" now in York and surrounding counties that have done faithful service for twenty-five years. As a man Mr. AA'heeler was strong and positive in his convictions. A New Knglander by birth, he was possessed of the determination characteristic of his Puritan ancestry; though having cast bis lot in the South he readily adapted himself to the customs and institutions of his adopted section, and through all the controversy that led up to the war, and during that struggle and the dark days succeeding its close, his conduct was essentially as if to the "manner born." lie never sought public or political preferment, but confined his energies strictly to the business to which he had been trained. In the accumulation of wealth lie was not par- * simonious. While he may have been judicious in the bestowal of charity, ho gave cheerfully, and it is a true saying in Yorkville that seldom was a subscription paper for a munificent or charitable object ever circulated among the citizens without receiving his signature among the most liberal givers. Mr. Wheeler died childless, and survived his wife about five years, she having died in May, 1881. His funeral took place at G o'clock Mon-. ' day afternoon from the Episcopal Church, of which he was a communicant, Rev. John Gassj, of Winnsboro, conducting the burial service, i sormjittttrnm NEWS. ?

Sumter Southron: One afternoon last week, while a number of boys and young men were were in bathing at Green Swamp, one of them stepped on something hard at the bottom, and stooping down reached for it and brought it up to the surface. It proved to be a conical shaped cannon ball weighing aboutsixty or seventy Ave pounds. ? Barnwell Sentinel: Some months since some Barnwell parties were brought before (he town council for selling liquor. They demanded a trial by jury, but the council refused this, and imposed a tine. The parties paid the tine, and appealed; the case came before Judge Cothran, who decided against the council. This will necessitate a trial by jury. ? A nine-months-old child of William Baton, twelve miles north of Greenville, met with death under peculiar circumstances on Tuesday night last. It fell between the bed and the wall, its chin catching on the bed and the back of the head against the wall or chair board. It was probably so choked as it hung in this position that it could not cry, and when its mother awoke the unfortunate child was dead. ? The stock of James M. Dickson, a dry ?oods merchant of Greenville, was seized for debt on Thursday. Deputy U. S. Marshal H. It. Boyden, who served the attachment, was ordered from the store by E. B. Dickson, who claimed that he bought the stock of goods from his brother on Saturday previous, and upon Boyden's refusal Dickson locked him in the store. He subsequently gained his liberty, and putting on new locks holds the fort. POLITICS TX*THE STATE. ? The Port Royal Post calls upon Congress to give Port Royal a public building. The Post wants to run Col. William Kliott for Congress against Smalls and says if Colanel Elliott were in Congress, Port Royal would be almost sure to get an appropriation for a building. ?
