At first it was thought that hi: injuries would prove fatal; but our lasi information is to the effect that he is now getting along as nicely as could be expected. Pension* For Slaves. The Lancaster Ledger says that "Rev. W. S. Sutherland," colored, is op erating in Lancaster county enrolling ex-slaves upon a promise to get them pensions from the national government. As to whether anything is being done in this line in York county we have not learned ; but will suggest that intelligent whites will do well to warn the colored brother of the humbug?of the absurdity of the whole thing?and tell him not to allow himself to be swindled by the sharpers, who are laying such an alluring bait for his ignorance. For Selling; Liquor. John Coleman, colored, was arrestee on Monday on the charge of selling liquor in violation of the dispensary law. Coleman has the reputation of running what is commonly known as a blind tiger. Magistrate Sandifer, Chief of Police Love and others put up a job on him, as the result of which he sold liquor to one Negro in the presence of another. He wa9 arrested a few minutes later, and on a hearing before Intendant Lowry yesterday, was sentenced to pay a fine of $15 or go to the chaingang for 30 days. His case will also be sent up to the circuit court. On Second Trial Was Acquitted. Julius Burton, a Negro boy, was before Intendant Lowry one day last week ou the charges of assault and battery and carrying concealed weapons. The intendant convicted him on both counts and sentenced him to the chaingang for 60 days?30 days on each count. The boy's friends retained Thos. F. McDow, Esq., who had him brought back to Yorkville, and in Borne way got the case before Magistrate Sandifer and a jury. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on both counts, and Burton was set at liberty. Died on the Street. An old gray mule died on the streets of Yorkville, opposite tfie store of W. B. Moore & Co., last Monday night. The animal was brought to Yorkville by some of the traders for trading purposes. It became sick during the day and had several fits. Finally it staggered down the street and lay down. Policeman Love tried to get it to Glenn & Allison's livery lot; but it died on the way. All efforts to find the owner of the mule failed. It developed that the animal bad been traded several times during the day ; but when it became a foregone conclusion that the owner would have it to drag out of town, that worthy denied his property. The animal was dragged off at the expense of the town. Robbed the Mall. A daring and unusual robbery was committed in Rock Hill last Wednesday night. The mail pouch for the southbound train on the Southern train had been closed and turned over to the authorities at the depot. It was deposited at the usual place about 10 o'clock ; but when the train rolled in about 11 it was all gone. That mail is a heavy one of ordinary mail matter, but contained no registered mail. Next morning, before the theft was known, an unknown Negro presented at the national bank a check which had been drawn the day before by the Roddey Mercantile company in favor of a Charleston firm. This aroused some suspicions, and when the teller turned to make some inquiry, the Negro retired rapidly, and has not been seen since. Baptist Church Work. An interesting preliminary union meeting of the churches of the York Baptist association was held with Enon church, about 9 miles northwest of Yorkville, on Friday and Saturday, January 28 and OQ Tho fihioot nf thfl mpfitinc WftS to organize the churches and discuss different subjects of interest to the denomination within the bounds of the York association. Meetings will be held with the different churches on each fifth Sunday during the year. No name for the new organization was decided upon : but this, together with the matter of adopting a constitution and by-laws, will be attended to at the next meeting, which will be held at the Yorkville Baptist church, commencing on Friday before the fifth Sabbath in May, and continuing in session for three days. Mr. W. J. Waters, of Yorkville, was chosen moderator of the meeting at Enon, and Mr. T. G. Matthews, of Clover, secretary. Slick Fisherman. Rock Hill Herald : An ingenious thief has been operating at the New York Racket. About two weeks ago the clerks, upon going into the store early in the morning, discovered a lot of clothing lying on the floor immediately under the skylight. They also observed later in the day that a glass had disappeared from the skylight. No one seems to have suspected that anything was wrong. Monday morning when the store was opened, more clothing was found lying upon the floor; but still nothing special was thought of the incident. During the day, however, Air. True, the proprietor, noticed that some towels banging on a wire were out of shape, and when he began to straighten them out, he found a fishing line dangling from one of the towels. Two large hooks had been knitted on the end of the line and about a quarterpound of sheet lead had been wrapped around it. Mr. True at once discovered why the clothing had been misplaced. A thief had gone on top of the store, removed a glass from the skylight by picking the putty out with a knife, and with bis line and hooks was fishing for clothing on the counters underneath; but his hook caught in the towel and the wire to tKn tnu'ol ti'Qu uttuphofl hoilifr stronger than the fishing line, the latter broke when the thief attempted to haul it in. Mr. True is not certain that the thief was successful in pulling any clothing out of the hole in the skylight; but thinks it very probable that more than one pair of pants and perhaps several coats have been stolen. Discriminating Schedules. The Clover people are as much worried about the schedules of the "People's Own Line" as are the people of Yorkville, and maybe a little more so. They art fully cognizant of the claims of the railroad people that the interests of the road require especial attention to the uppei end of the line, and particularly to Lenoir; but they do not feel that thest claims are based on sound principles The prevailing idea in Clover is to tin effect that if an effort were made to accommodate the people down on this end, tin increase of business would much mor< than compensate for ail increase of ex penses. For instance, one of the leading business men of Clover expressed him self to the reporter in this way: "The road is now being run altogether in tin interest of the towns to the north. Yoi have no idea how much Yorkville suiters by the present schedules. Our peo pie here would naturally rather go t< Yorkville than up the road. On uccoun of its being the county, seat, they have j business there which cannot be transacted 3 elsewhere. Not only this, they can do t as well or better down there in the purr chase of dry goods, millinery, etc., and if it were convenient would go to Yorkville in preference to Gastonia or points up the road. But as it is they cannot reach , Yorkville and return the same day ex; cept by private conveyance, and consei quently many of them go to Gastonia ini stead. Yes, there is no question of the i fact that the present arrangement costs i Yorkville many thousands of dollars of whioh most people have not even the i slightest suspicion." Another business man, also of Clover, said that it was frei quently the case that cotton was hauled down to Clover from Gastonia in wagons, for the reason that this method of transportation was found to be cheaper than shipping by railroad. THOSE MISERABLE SCHEDULES. A Citizen Makes Some Suggestions Which Are Deserving of Consideration. Editor of the Yorkville Enquirer: I am in full sympathy with the suggestions of "Mercbaut" in his communication to The Enquirer last week, concerning the situation Yorkville finds itself placed in respecting railroad facilities. I have doubts as to whether a boycott would be the most effective remedy or not. We have two railroads intersecting here. The Carolina and North-Western embraces the old King's Mountain railroad from Yorkville to Chester. This road was built by the people of Yorkville, principally, at a cost of $200,000. When it was consolidated with the C. ct L. Narrow Gauge, York county gave the new system $100,000 more, and the people of Yorkville a considerable priyate subscription. Chester county also gave it $100,000 besides large private subscriptions. Of a capital stock amounting, if I remember correctly, to about $340,000, York and Chester counties gave nearly four-fifths. We have turned the management of this road over to our North Carolina friends, and as might naturally be expected, it is being operated for the benefit of their section. All trains are run solely with a view to connections with the Carolina Central at Lincolnton, and the Western North Carolina at Hickory. If a resident of Yorkville wants to go east via this road, he will find himself waiting at Gastonia from 9 a. in. to 5.30 p. ni.; or if he takes the south e.pd, be will spend a night in Chester before he can leave that place. If when away he should be bold enough to attempt to get home by this road?say from Columbia,?he can reach Chester about 7 p. m., spend the night there, and get in next morning at 8 a. m. Or he may reach Chester from the south about 7.45 a. m., to fiud that the C. AN-W. has altered its passenger schedule and has just moved off. He waits there until 9.40 a. in., and gets aboard a freight train that will enable him to reach Yorkville between 12 and 2 o'clock that day. If the unfortunate traveler attempts to ? 1 U ? An/1 nf f KlO get; uuine uy tuo iiunuoiu cuv? v* vuio road, he may, with good luck, succeed in making the trip from Charlotte to Yorkville in five hours. Such discriminative management is not only pitiful, but cruel. I am not surprised that "Merchant" suggests a boycott of this or atiy other road that seems to be operated on the idea that its sole purpose is to benefit one section and punish another. But I beg to suggest that this road is very largely?to the extent of nearly four- fifths?the property of the people of York and Chester counties. Let York and Chester bestir themselves, and take the necessary steps to regain the control of this property, and operate it for the benefit of all stockholders and all sections. I think a public meeting should be called, and it should emphasize the grievances of this community in the most emphatic expression it can give. The other line?the 0. Ft. <fc C.?has even a worse arrangement of schedules if possible. I see that it is suggested that it proposes to arrange a short mileage fare from Yorkville to Charlotte via Blacksburg. This would be of some avail, and expectancy awaits the act. There is no reason why this road, as well as the C. & N-W., should not start their freight and passenger trains from opposite points each morning, so as to enable travel to pursue its natural channels. A little effort and a little more tendency to regard the wants of a suffering public, would be somewhat surprising; but would certainly not be unbecoming a railroad management. Citizen.

Highlaud Park hotel, at Aiken, was destroyed by tire last Monday morning at about 5.30 o'clock. There were about 130 guests iu the building, and all escaped without serious accident. The total loss is estimated at 8140,000. The insurance ou the building and furniture amounted to 8100,000. The owners of the building are citizens of Connecticut, and the understanding is that they will rebuild without delay. I Satisfactorily Kx|iluined. There was au ugly rumor about Su> periuleudeut Xeal, of the penitentiary, iu circulation in Columbia last week. 1 It was to the effect that when the r state treasurer presented Superinteu dent Neal's check for 810,000, the bank refused payment with the explanation that there were on hand "no funds" to Colouel Neal's credit. The fact was correct; but the circumstances were not such as to warrant the vari' ous stories that sprang up aud got into circulation. Colonel i\eul explained ' in the papers that when it appeared ( that he would he able to pay into the , stale treasury the sum of $10,000, the j state ollicials requested him to get up . the money in time for it to appear in . the reports for the year just ended, > so the taxpayers could get the beuet tit of it at once. This was ioipracti ' cable; but with an understanding all around, be gave a check for $10,000, which check was not to be presented j uutil the money derived from the , sale of state farm cotton was depos- < ited. The check was presented be- j fore the money was in hand, and this gave rise to the rumors, as well as a resolution asking for an investigation. Colonel Neal completed the transaction the next day, and the 1 check was paid in full, leaving some ] $5,000 to the credit of the penitentia- i ry. The only irregularity in the whole J transaction was in giving of the check before the money was in the bank; but the explanation as to howtheoth- ' er state officers were responsible for i t n i i _ 4 mis as mucnas coionei neai, was ex- ? plained to the satisfaction of all concerned. Probable Adjournment. August Kobn in News and Courier : ' There is absolutely no reason now why | an adjournment cannot be bad next week. The senate has fixed the 16th as the final day for the session, and with a concentration on the work and a sincere purpose to go home by that lime, it can be done. There will be bills left on the calendar?there always ( are numbers of measures left over. If the "four pens" have their way the 1 session can be dragged out a month longer ; but if the best interests of the members and their constituency be ? consulted there is now no reason why \ an adjournment cannot be had on the t 16th. As an outside li nit the final I adjournment can be bad on the 17th or 19th. The supply bill contemplates i an adjournment on the 12th, but that J is not likely. j. Prohibition In the General Assembly. a Practically unaided save by the s prayers of those robbed of loved ones, of those whose homes are wrecked t and whose lives blighted by the curse t of strong drink, Mr. L. D. Childs has S fought his prohibition bill through the J! slough of despond, where the battle e was first pitched, up to the heights of p promise; hut still the denouement is ft uncertain. When Mr. Childs first iu- ? roduced his bill at the last session, it & was looked upon as the phantom of a v freakish mind ; but in the interum "j popular sentiment and public opinion r had turned like the tide upon the v ocean. Waves of prayers and billows 11 of sympathizing letters have urged 0 Mr. Childs forward upon bis grand missiou, and, whatever may be the * ? L * 1 I 1 merits or demerits 01 nis uni, ne personally stands forth as a noble man, tiim in bis convictions, sincere and euruesi in his efforts to benefit human- iiy. The discussion of his bill will be ] brought up Tuesday, unless circumstances prevent. His bill is an amendment to the dispensary law, restricting the sale of liquor to medicinal, mechanical and sacramental purposes. It is strongly coutended by some that (] drug stores and disreputable physicians, abusing liberty for license, will 5 defeat the objects of the proposed law. From what can be gathered, the sen'ti- j ment of the general assembly is rather r inclined toward local option. There is also a bill by Mr. Pollock which li does not materially affect the dispen- e sary law, but exacts a tax from origi- w nal package houses. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist. Rev. Edward S.

CAROLNIA BUGGY^OT NO BUGGY ON THE MARKET IS EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUGGY at the price it is sold. It is not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in painting and trimming, while its durability is equal to almost any requirement. The painting never allows it to present a shoddy, makeshift appearance at any stage of its existence. While it is made to sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer and represent a value equal to the price for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND STRONG and always built of the very best material to be had, and in all stages of its construction it 1b passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection by one whose first thought is to have it built as nearpefection as human skill can accomplish. We make them to order or keep them in stock, and it will be to your interest to consult *us when in need of a vehicle. THE CINCINNATI BUCCY Can always be purchased from us and at almost any price. We can furnish them in any style desired. When you purchase a Cincinnati Buggy you had better first get our price, for the reason that if you don't you might throw money away.
