Severe Storm on Monday? First Train to
the Itlver?Mr. Gregg to Leave For .
Florence. .
Correspondence ot the Yorkville Enquirer. :
Blacksburg, August 31.?One of the {
most severe storms of rain, wind and hail (
we have had this year, passed over this .
section yesterday afternoon, beginning a t
little before 4 o'clock and lasting for j
on imntv The cloud came ud very
rapidly from the northwest, the wind
blowing at a fearful rate, and in some
places, especially in the neighborhood of .
Moore's mill, uprooting and twisting off j
large trees. The hail fell about 20 tnin- '
utes, thick and fast, and larger than par- '
tridge eggs. The cotton was so far ma- 1
tured that it was not much injured, but I
considerable damage was done to fodder <
and late corn. The rain was very refresh- s
ing, however, alter the high temperature j
of the past few days, and the atmosphere >
this morning is bracing and delightful. j
The first train from Blacksburg to J
Broad river, over the new branch of the ?
Ohio River and Charleston railroad, from j
here to Gaffney, was run yesterday morning.
It was in charge of Conductor John
Tripp and Engineer K. C. Gross and car- .
rietl, beside a lot of material for the bridge
across the river, two car loads of freight (
for Cherokee Falls Cotton mill.
The "Factory wagon," the two big '
mules and their genial and accommoda- (
ting driver, Ed Ligon, will hereafter he
one of the pleasant memories of the past, 1
I suppose, so far as the transportation of s
goods, and machinery, and cotton, etc., :
are concerned, from Blacksburg to Cher- <
okee Falls. It will now go by rail, and *
we will miss Ed and his sturdy companions
very much.

FIGHT WITH MOONSHINERS.
rnrrible Tragedy ill ArkamtaH Mountains
Last Sunday.
Six men were probably mnssacree iu
:be wilds of Pope county, Arkansas,
ast Sunday afternoon, says a Little
Rock dispatch of Monday. Two were
billed outright, two were fatally
wounded and left for dead, and two
lave mysteriously disappeared and
ire either dead or being held captive
jy bandits.
The killed are : Captain B. F. Tny
or, of Searcy county, deputy United
States marshal; Joe Dodsou, of Stone
;ounty, deputy marshal.
The fatally wounded are : Brothers
lame Renfrew, of Searcy county.
The names of the missing men are
lot known ; hut they are supposed to
ie deputy sheriffs from an adjoining
:ounty.
The victims were all deputy United
States marshals and deputy sherilfs,
md the men who did the work are
nooushiners of the boldest and most
lesperate class. The scene of the
:riuae was a gulch or ravine iu the
nountains of Pope county, at an isoated
spot thirty-five miles from Rus.ellville,
the nearest telegraph office,
ind ten miles from Witt Springs. The
-egion is wild aud isolated. It has for
>-ears been the favorite rendezvous for
jouuterfeiters and moonshiners, aud is
i district in which no law-abiding citizen
can live. The officers for a long
,ime have been trying to break up the
awlessness iu that vicinity, and mauy
lattles between them aud the desperaloes
have occurred.
Captain B. F. Taylor, the richest
nan in Searcy county aud a man of
nuch prominence, determined to aid
he officers in putting dowu crime. He
secured a commission as a deputy
[Jnited States marshul and led the
losse iu the raid that resulted iu his
louth A foiu fluvs sum a sncoes>ful
J~ "O
-aid was made in the same locality, in
vhich a dozen moonshiuers were capured
and brought to Little Rock.
)ne of them told the officers that at
east 50 large distilleries were opera,ing
in the same neighborhood. Tayor,
with bis posse, located a large
noonsbine outfit, Saturday night, and
lecided to make the raid Sunday.
Proceeding slightly in advauce of his
nen, Taylor was withiu 30 feet of the
listillery wbeu he was tired upon from
imbush and instantly killed.
As Dodson ran up to Taylor he was
ilso shot dead. Ritles began to crack
n all directions, und u volley was'fired
uto the officers. The Renfrew brothirs
fell mortally wounded aud lay by
he roadside until later in the day,
vhen a traveler named Puck came by.
Vll traces of the bandits had disapleared,
as well as two of the deputy
iheriffs. The latter have not since
>eeu seen or heard from. Pack hur ied
to Russellville with the news, and
he coroner, together with a sheriff's
josse, immediately started for the
cene. No news has been received
ince they departed. Pack thinks the
Renfrew brothers will be dead before
he party reaches them. It was not
mown by whom the crime was coranitted;
but the officers believe the
;ang is composed of desperadoes headid
by Horace Bruce and John Church,
wo of the most dangerous characters
n t.hnt, looalitv.
The United States authorities were
,oday requested to offer a reward for
he desperadoes, and a determined efort
will be made to capture them
't is very probable that the effort wil
ead to further bloodshed.
Captain Taylor was an ex-captain in
he Federal army. He had served two
erms in the state legislature and was
loted for his bravery.
The authorities at Washington huve
tifered a reward of $500 for the capture
md delivery of the moonshiners, and
lave also authorized the expenditure
>f a sum not to exceed $2,000 in the
irganization of a posse to hunt them

SOUTH CAROLINA NKWS.
Meetze Makes a Itow.
W. B. Meetze, the well-known orignal
package dealer of Columbia, made
i big row last Saturday. On Friday
i young man named Fuller, went into
VIeetze's establishment, bought an
'original package," and then went off
ind made an affidavit to t lie effect that
le was under age. Meetze claimed
hat Fuller had told him that he was
11 years of age, and swore out a warrant
against him for perjury. But that
lid not settle the matter. Next day
he constables served Meetze with a
warrant, charging him with maintainng
a nuisance under the clause of the
lispensary law which forbids the sale
>f liquor to minors. Meetze refused
.0 be arrested except by force. He
said he was doing business under the
aws of the Uuited States as interpreted
by Judge Simontou, and no>ody
had any right to interfere with
lim. He would, therefore, brook no
nterference except by bonded officers,
[f these should attempt to arrest him he
would resist as far as possible; but
would not try to hurt anybody. Upon
his a posse was organized, consisting
jf constables and policemen. Meetze
squared himself, and members of the
:)osse laid hold. There was a severe
struggle and Meetze maintained himself
against the ]>osse for sometime.
\n outsider attempted to interfere to
issist the constables; but somebody
apped him on the head with a club
tnd he was not interested in subsequent
proceedings. The constables at
ength got the better of Meetze and
carried him to the office of a magisrate,
where he was released on a $200
jond. He at once resumed the sale
jf oiiginal packages in another store.
The store iu which he was arrested
ivas closed by the constables. He
says he will now bring suit for damtges
against the officers, by whom he
was arrested, on their official bonds.
Hie Case of Wliitiix.
Columbia State, Monday : The State
a few days ago, gave all the facts about
the service of the rule to show cause
why he should not be punished tor
contempt upon Mr. Whilus, of Chester.
It will he recalled that Mr.
NVhitus, before Judge Simonton's final
original package decision, got some lienor
and began selling it at Chester.
He was arrested, his slull" seized, and
Judge Witherspoon put lr.ni under an
injunction in accordance with the dispensary
law. When Judge Simonton's
decision came along he got the appointment
as agent of a North Carolina
whisky firm and began to sell li- {
quor again in original packages strict- ,
ly in accord with Judge Simonton's j
decision. Soon Newbold, the state (
detective, rearrested him and seized _
his stock, and Judge Witherspoon is- i
sued a rule for him to show cause for i
contempt of his previous order. "
Whitus then came here and engaged
the services of Mr. P. H. Nelsoti.
When the governor was seen, enough 1
was said to show that the state intended
to make this the test case as to '
whether the state courts would recog- f
nize the authority of the Federal *
courts. Mr. .Nelson nas not Deen c
j wasting his time since he took *
(charge of the matter. On Satur- ?
(lay he went before Judge Si- 1
inontou at Flat Rock and secured from r
him a rule to show cause against Newbold,
requiriug him to show cause on i
September 9 at Flat Rock, if any he 8
can, why the liquor seized by him ]
shall not be released and returned to |
the agent, and why he shall not be l
enjoined from further interfering with ?
VVIiitus. In the meantime Mr. Nelson
proposes to go before Judge Witherspoon
at Yorkville on the day appoiut- )
ed and appear in behalf of Whitus.
He will present the matter fully if
Judge Witherspoon decides to proceed j
with the hearing before the United
States court proceeding is disposed of. ^
Klondike Fortunes.?The steam- d
er Portland arrived at Seattle, Wash- "
ington, last Sunday, says a dispatch. ^
She carried 13 miners, each of whom f
brought only a small part of his stake, t
The total amount in dust on the vessel *
is perhaps $575,000. The Portland e

Weare to arrive at St. Michaels and by ?
a storm on the north Pacific coast. f

Harrity Is Downed.?A u interesting
fight in the Pennsylvania state
executive committee, which has been going
on for several weeks, culminated 2
last Monday uight in the deposition of j
W. F. Harrity as uatioual committee- I
man. Harrity, it will be remembered, 1
as national chairman, managed the ?
last campaign in which Cleveland was 2
elected. He was re-elected as nation- 1
al committeeman at the Chicago con- ^
vention. He was an advocate of the "
gold staudard, however, and refusing
to accord to the Chicago platform, the 1
state committee asked him to step j
down and out. This he refused to do, e
and at a meeting held Monday night, v
by a vote of 53 to 26, his position was j*
declared vacant.

Tillman left for the north last Friday 1

ject would be the tariff and the general
cussedness of politics. He was also

on the "Duty of Democrats." He J.
says the fight in New York is to keep t
the Hill crowd from bolting the Chica- I
go platform. He will go from New i
York to the state of Pennsylvania, J
speaking first at Rochester. He will (
make a series of speeches in the min- j
ing regions of Pennsylvania, where he 2
has been before. He will not begin his 3
speeches in Pennsylvania until Sep- ?

The Uprising In India.?The up- 51
rising against British authority in In- ?
dia has become very serious. The r
fountainheud of the trouble is in Af- 1
ghanistan. It is an independent move- 1
ment apparently ; but is spreading at a
rate that is alarming. The insur- '
gents have seized and are now holding (
the principal pass between Afghanistan v
and India. There have been several i
conflicts with the British troops so far, j1
nnd the insurgents have had rather the lH
best of it. It is estimated that it will c
require an army of some forty thou- r
sand men to put down the trouble, 1
and if the insurrection should gain c
considerable headway in India, it may 1
result in the overthrow of British rule. 1

LADIES' TOILET ROOM.
Comfortably Fitted Up with
All Modern Conveniences.
By limitation, the "clock coupon"
feature of my business expired
today; but out of the large
number of clocks I had to begin
with, I have only 10 left, and I
have decided to continue this
feature until they are all gone.
Thus for every dollar's worth of
goods purchased at Strauss's for
cash at one purchase, you will receive
a clock coupon?thirty of
which will entitle the customer to
one of my handsome BRONZE
CLOCKS.
Again, there are many people
who hold these coupons; but
have not a sufficient number to
secure a clock. These coupons
are redeemable from anyone, and
thirty of them gets a clock ; but
remember that we only have 10
clocks left and the first 10 people
who present the required coupons
will get the clocks.
For the convenience of our
lady patrons, and especially the
LADIES FROM THE COUNTRY,
we have fitted up a handsome
and convenient toilet room,
with all the modern comforts and
conveniences, and this room shall
at all times be at their disposal
and they shall always be made
welcome to its comforts, and no
efforts will be spared to make all
who come within our store feel
absolutely "at home."
Some of my mammoth stock
of fall and winter goods are beginning

now being marked for the fall

say right here that I propose to

and lead in low prices.

FARM WAGONS.
I HAVE just received a CAR LOAD oi
the celebrated "MILBURN FARM
WAGONS," which are recognized as the
leading farm vehicle on the market today.
I have them in all sizes from 1 to 6horse,
and with the "hollow axle," "thimble
skein" or iron axle as the customer
may prefer. The beds are all extra deep,
and the wheels are substantially tired
with extra thick and extra wide tires, and
the capacity of every wagon is limited
only by the strength of the team you have
to pull it. When you want a wagon you
will do yourself a great favor by seeing
ours before buying.
