K? B. MURKAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 0, ISSI. ONE YEAS... .?1.80. 8IX MONTHS. 73c. Two Volten If not paid In nd vance DEATH OP MB. Z'ETEIt A. KKVfl. Tho citizens of Anderson were greatly shocked on Cnristmas morning hy (ho ?nd newB th nt Mr. Peter A. Keys had met his death on tho preceding evening in a collision upon the Air Lino Rail road, where he lind be.-n engaged ns nn engineer for the past seven or eight years. When tho recent fast mail train was put on this Road, Mr. Keys, being one of thc best and most experienced engineers, was placed in charge of ono of these trnins, but on last Friday, tho 24th of December, he procured an exchange to tho regular passenger, in order that he might spend Christmas day with his family in Atlanta. Upon this train he would without accident have reached his home by ono or two o'clock in the after noon, but such was i ot thc doom in storo for him by fate. Thc Air Lino was start ing a freight train out from Atlanta in two sections, nnd in order to prevent accident tho master of transportation telegraphed thc operator at Norcross, whoso namo was Burgess, tho station nt which tho passenger and freights should pass ench o er. Four dispatches were sent him on the Hubjcct, and cadi'imo he was required lo telegraph them back to prove that he correctly understood them. Thc two first expired before tho passenger arrived, nnd tho two last, re mained of force. At 12.30 thc passenger train arrived, and the operator gave to conductor Sims and engineer Keys one telegram instead of two, which entirely misled them, and they proceeded, sup posing that they had thc entire Road to Atlanta open to them. Tho result is given ns follows by tho Atlanta Coiutilu* lion : From nnsBcngers nbonrd it was learned that conductor Sims left Norcross in obe dience to orders above given. When the train waa approaching Peachtrco creek the freight train rounded a curve, and in nn instant the two engines had collided and tho work of death was done. The engineer in chargo of tho freight train says ho did not see tho passenger train until he had turned tho curve, when ho blew down brakes and reversed, but tho passenger carno rushing on, and in nn instant tho collision was over. Tho freight train was running about eight miles per hour, consequently thc engineer and fireman hud abundant time to jump c?Taud thus escupe. Tho passenger tri?'! was running about forty miles un hour, und when the engino struck the shock was terrible. Tho mail conch, which was just in tho rear of tho tender, was "telescoped" by it. Thc baggage car was next to the mail conch, but tho Miller platform saved all but tho plat form itself. Besides the injuries to these cars and the engine, but little hurt was dono the passenger train When tho cause of the quick stop was known, Captain Sims rushed to tho en gine, where ho found Revs demi under tho side of the engine, and Collins (the fireman), tho lower portion of whoso body was buried under the debris, strug gling for freedom. At once every available hand went to work with a will to extricate the dead and dying, and after quite an amount of labor their work was rewarded, but tho sight that met their eyes was indeed har rowing. Keys was horribly mutilated his leu leg being torn to shreds and his freo and body literally cooked and scald ed. A stick of wood entered his abdo men and was driven into his body, tear ing it almost asunder. Tho bones of his leg were broken in pieces, tho ends of which protruded through tho mutilated flesh. His foot was almost detached from his leg, and the sight mp.de the stoutest turn with shuddering from its contemplation. Ovor his left eye was a terrible bruise and the side of his fuco was badly mashed. There, ho lay, his full, hand somo beard matted with the blood bruised from bis body, which, but a mon .ont be fore, was i'uli of ufo and health. During tho greater portion of tho af ternoon Mrs. Koys awaited tho arrival of tho train which she looked for her husband to como ?o. *rrj . 'i ?ct no answer ns to tho causo of the delay, ex cept that the train was behind tima, and it was not Until after night that she heard the ter*;ble news. Mr. Keys' remains wero carried to Atlanta, whero they were propared for interment, mid on tho following day - Christmas -they were brought to Anderson. Mr. Peter Keys was at tho limo of his death in tb . .engtb of a maturo man hood, which had scarce touched its zenith, being forty years of ago. He was raised ir- our midst, and spent by far tho grenter portion of his life here, whore he was very popular and highly esteemed for his upright life and his manly and genial qualities Tho news of his death brought with it a sad Christmas to tho honses of many families of relatives and friends in and around Anderson. On Sunday afternoon the remains were in .V. . VU ... WI o Baptist vctiivbv.j , tuc Masonic burial rites, after solemn fune ral services, conducted by Revs. J. s. Murray and Wm. H. Strickland. A largo concourse of people gathered to pay this tribute to their departed friend. There bus never beeu but ono expres sion os to the occasion of the accident. It was wholly due to the criminal caro ?03SU033 of tho operator at Norcross. Mr. Keys, therefore,' met his death while at his post, performing his duty in a faithful and efficient manner, which leaves his memory honored nnd respect ed, even by those who did not know him. The Laurens Railroad was sold in Col umbia on loot Monday, under decres of foreclosure. Tho property was sold to Col. A. O. Haskell for thirty thousand dollar?, ho being tho only person who made a bid. It is understood that the real purchasers are tho owners of the Grcenvillo and Columbia Railroad, and that'ho Laurens Road will bo operated as a portion of this. line. It ia thirty-two miles long, and h considered a very cheap piece of property at. tho prieo paid. Jinn. Vfc. ii.

Mr. Treacot, however, docs ucl communicate any iuformstiau os to fha result of tho Commission, sud lt will not be known until published from the ^lati'Oepartiaont. Tbc law lo prevent person? from carry ing concealed weapons is now in force, nnd every one bad belter read and obey it. There is no necessity in ?i civ?Hz?d, law-abiding country for n niau to go out armed liku a highwaymnn. The habit ia nn insult to our society, and is dangerous besides. Tho Legislature has decided to stop it, and some one will be punished for its violation before many weeks pass, j Thc price of pistols should be considera bly reduced by thu new law-at hast wo apprehend there will be fewer of them sold. The law is a good one, and should be strictly enforced. Thc Supply Hill as tinnily adopted levies n tax of five mills for ?State purpo ses, two mills for public schools, and two and one-half mills for County purposes in Anderson, making the total tax for this County Ibis year niue mid one-half mills, against nine and three-quarter mills last yenr. Thc State tnx is one quarter of one mill higher, whilo thc County taxes are one-half of uno mill lower. WILL UK WE HANGED AT LAST! Kv-t.ovornor Scott Shoots a Young Mun in Ullin. l'A UTI CIT. A HS or TUB rm.MK. XAI'OI.I-.ON, OHIO, December 20. The following are the particulars of the murder of young Drury by II. K. Scott, tho ex Carpetbag Governor of South Carolina : Drury was clerk in Know* land's drug store, and celebrated Christ mas Eve with several young companions, among them being Scott's son, who drank too much, mid no*, wishing his parents to see him intoxicated accepted nn ofter of Druiy to share the latter's bed nt the drugstore. About ll o'clock a gentle man, sent by Mrs. Scott to find her son, discovered his whereabouts, but failing to induce him to go home returned to the hotel nnd reported thc facts to Gen. Scott. Tho General then went to the store, calli d Drury up and asked for his son. Drury denied that young Scott was there. Tho father insisted on going to thc bed-room. Drury preceded bini and on reaching thc door of the room fumed round und refused to admit Scott. Thc Oenernl drew a revolver anti fired, as he claims accidentally, thc ball passing through Drury's brain, causing instant death. Scott got his son and returned to tho hotel, reported thc shooting and was arrested and taken to Deliauec for safe keeping, there being much excite ment mid talk of lynching here. His preliminary trial occurs uti Monday. Drury was to have been married on Tuesday. Tl I il KA TS OK LYNCH I NU. CINCINNATI, December 20.-A dis patch from Toledo to the Commercial dated last night says : "The shooting of Walter G. Drury at Napoleon, Ohio, by Gen Hoben K. Scott, formerly Colonel of thc Sixty-eighth Ohio Infantry and nfiorrurds Governor of South Carolina, occurred this morning. Intenso excite ment prevails, and thc danger of lynch ing is so great that r. company of mili tary to*night guards the hotel where Scott is detained, by tho Sheriff under arrest." THE DEFENDANT'^ VERSION OK THE BIIOOTINU. DEFIANCE, OHIO, Dec. 20.-Your correspondent called upon Governor Scott to day and wns referred to his at torney, C. II. Scrbnor, of Toledo, who is herc and whose 'atemeut of the trag edy at Napoleon, Gi,io, on Christmas morning, is as follows: Governor Scott, wife and son are board ing nt thc Miller House, in Napoleon. Tho son is about fifteen years of age. On Friday evening Ibero was a great deal of bad conduct on tho streets, the young men of the pince drinking and carousing, with a great deal of loud talk. Mrs. Scott became alarmed nt tho absence of her son, and got a hotel clerk named Stout to look for him. The Governor lind retired, nnd some limo alter, bearing persons uttering threats on tho street about shooting Stout, Mrs. Scott urged him to go and hunt for tho boy. The Governor dressed himself, and, having found Stout, inquired if he had found his son. Stout said that ho lind, and lind brought him to the hotel, but n clerk at a drug storo named Drury lind got him away from him. Tho Governor started out in (.carob of tho boy, mid was in formed by a young man on tho street that Drury hud him in the drug store, Tho Governor went to tho front door, rattled and ailed, and finally succeeded in nrousing tho clerk, who opened tho door and ; aid thc boy was not there, and insisted upon tho (ruth of his statement. Governor Scott told him that from in formation ho had ho knew ho was there, at tho same lime walking townrds the rear end of tho storeroom, mid nenin telling the young man ho must find bis boy and take him home. Tho Governor started to go to thc door opening from tho rear of tho storeroom into another room, when young Drury placed himself beforo him and told him if ho attempted to enter that room it was nt his peril. Again tho Governor told him ne must get his boy, and made n movement ns if to enter tho room. Drury roached over, as if to tako a weight or other wennon from the counter, and nt tho samo time mado n movement like drawing a pistol from his pocket. At the Name moment Governor Scott drew n pistol from his overcoat pocket, when it accidentally ex ploded. Tho Governor anya his first thought was that he had been fired at by ?orno one, but soon snw that the young man was hurt, ni ho sank bar-V on the floor. Immediately afterwards .ho Gov ernor heard lila ann calling from upstairs. He went into a back room and up the stairway, and found lila ann in sn icated condition locked in n room nt tho head of the stairs. Ho brought him down, hurried him to the hotel and sent men over to seo how badly tho young iTi?n vt ivs hurl. They found him dend. On examination the surgeon found tho boll had entered under th"? left jaw, ranging upward into the brain, si t?wing that the pistol was not fired on a level. Governor Scott was brought herc Inst evening by the authorities oud has been ?laced tn confinement herc over Sunday. Iis preliminary examination will bo held in Napoleon to-morrow morning at 0 o'clock. - A correspondent of tho Charleston K?ici ami Courier, who was a passenger on tho Charleston and Savannah Rail way, writing under date of January 2, says: "Passengers on tho Charleston bound train to-night havo given mo tho following facts as coming from a reliable gentleman who saw tho bodies of the victims when they were Innded : Yester day morning, aller tho severe sleet storm, which during tho night beforo raged along tho roast, a steam launch belong ing to a revenue cutter, stationed near Beaufort, while proceeding to Port Royal, ?icked up a flat adrift off Bay Point, ho crew consisted of eight negro men, lying stark, and dead, sheathed in tba ico which covered their vessel. It was ascer tained that they had been drinking heavily tho evening before on their trip {rom St. Helena to Port Royal, and it was inferred that while under tho influ ence of liquor they had fallen into a sleep which was destined to bo thoir last. These bare particulars are all that I have been able to gather. The names of the men and the minor particulars of ; the tragedy could, not bo obtained at tho hour X hc?<*d the news." 4TJic Work or tho Legislature. The Legislature lins adjourned alter a session ot twcnty-ievcn working day*, and has ndded to the Stntutes of Sou'1' Carolina one hundred and twenty-three new laws, pesides electing a Circuit Judge, ti Comptroller General and the Superintendent and Director.! of thc State Penitentiary. When the General Assembly convencd, tho futir subjects pf paramount impor tance which were expected lo come be fore it were the repression of intcuiper mice, thc suppression of the habit of carrying concealed weapons, the amend incni to thc laws relating to duelling, and thc enactment of measures looking to the belter conduct of elections. Upon the lirst three of these subjects thc Leg islature IIBH neted definitely and posi tively. Thc anti-whiskey law it is boped will, ut least, decrease thc number of bar j rooms, lessen thc opportunities of getting 'drink, and, in proportion, diminish drunkenness. Should this hope be dis appointed thc law will, nt least, otford a revenue which can be applied to thc re duction of general taxation. All thc measures relating to u remod elling of thc election laws of the Stale, us well ns propositions to amend the Constitution have been referred to a Commission raised for the purpose of consider!mr. them during tho recess. Their repoits will come before thc Leg islature at thc next session. The Com mission to which thc registration bill, as well as all other cognate measures, have been referred consists of Messrs. E. ll. Murray, Edward McCrudy, Jr., C. J. C. dutson, J. W. Gruyan] Andrew Craw ford, and Senators Perry, Larliguc and Maxwell. The Commission is author ized to sit for twenty days during tho recess, and it is imped will give thc sub ject such attention us will enable . .e Commission to place before thc Legisla turn nt its next session such measures as will give the required relief, mid so meei the approval of both houses of the Gen eral Assembly.

Additional I'm ll? ulm ??? or Un- .\< < i?l< ut un UK- North Curollnn Central, lite Indian Creek trestle is uboutlilly live feet high, and crosses n deep ravine, extending .over nearly ball' a mile of wanto land. The train was composed of two passenger conche*, three box curs, and a combination car. When it reach ed (bc trestle, as is customary, thc en gineer "slowed Up." The eugine and lender had ju.-', passed tiver the structure, and the driving wheels of the locomotive bad scarcely cleared it, when a crash was heard by Engineer Hail from tho rear. He at once reversed his brakes and stop ped the engine. He had hardly done so when Hie whole train except his engine was precipitated through the trestle work to the ground, fifty-five feet below, and with it all of tho passengers anti road men, except the engine-driver and his assistant. The structure was an old one, but deemed safe, and so passed upon by railroad men. It was about one hun dred and fifty feet long. Beneath one end of it the waler was rpiitc deep, but thin was passed over in safety. Almost ns soon as the cars stun k the ground they caught lire from thc over turned stoves in them. These stove? quickly communicated the lire lo the dry wood work of the ears, w hich were soon in Haines. As thc wrecked ears were piled upon one another, the unfortunate inmates found it impossible to ethel their escape. Four of them were fairly roasted alive ii? ?heir horrible prisons. Two men were s> terribly burned and in jured as to produce death. Oootlson, Bloom, McKenzie and War lick were burned up. Smith was not dead when his piteous appeal for help reached thc ears of the engineer, who rushed lo the spot where Smith was jam med in among the wrecked ears. As.soon as the .suffering man saw assistance near at hand, he besought the engineer in the most heartrending appeals to save his life. Engineer Hail made the most heroic attempts to do so. lie set ener getically to work to cul away thc debris by which Smith was held, in order lo re lieve him Irom his fiery prison, bul as all ol' thc brakemen and passengers were either killed or disabled he could get no assistance. At every blow of the engin eer's axe ibo man cried very piteously for him lo do his best to save him. Hail worked with the energy born of despera tion, but the flames spread with great rnpidily, and the poor fellow was burned to death before bi. eyes, and while the ringing of the ax?: inion the hard oak timber sounded in the burning man's ears. Smith was a handson. : fellow about 25 years old, and brave as a lion. Although he was being roasted alive, with the exception of his piteous appeals, he bore his horrible sufferings willi a courage rarely witnessed under such tor rihle circumstances. He spent last Sun day it? Charlotte, N. C.,with friends. S. H . (Jondsnn, another ono of the passengers who was also burned to death, was about 45 years old. He leaves a wife and several children. He was a native ol'Virginia. During the wnr he was chief clerk in the Confed?rale Bu reau for the Exchange of Prisoners, and was well known to ninny of thc officers of the two annies. Soon after thc wnr ho was connected with the Richmond Examiner, under thc late H. Rivers Pol lard. Mail Agent Bloom and Brakemen McKenzie and Worlick were at the bot tom of the wreck, could not be extrica ted, and were burned up. It is probnblc thnt they were either dent! or unconscious before the fire gnineil any headway, and were thus saved the terrible pangs of be ing roasted alive. Conductor II. P. Johnson was lound haifa mile from the scene of the disaster, about half an hour lifter it occurred,'sit* ting down in the woods on a fallen tree, with a severe wound in tho head, and [mrtially crazed from the effects of the dow and the terrible se io through which ho lind just passed. All the wounded persons were sent to Lincoln? ton, where they were kindly cared for. Among those who were passengers or officers on the trnin and saved ave S. H. Griffin, salesman for Austin, Nicholas & Co., of New York ; Richard Liincbrick, of Cleveland, N. C. ; Engineer Hail and Fireman Smith. AU of tho survivors except the two last named were moro or less injured, some ol' them quite painful ly. Johnson, Griffin and Limebricknre in LincolntOn, the first named nt a pri vate residence and the others at Burton's Hotel. Five physicians are in atten dance, nnd they ore receiving every attention that it is possible to bestow. Thc mail and most of the express mut ter were burned. Tho express safe was recovered nfter the fire al! the cars arc either totally destroyed or utterly wreck ed. The railroad authorities aro nt a loss to what to attribute the disaster. Some think tho box cars jumped tho track, and then knocked down tho trestle, the coaches following and pilinc up on top of them. The rond?n which this accident occurred is only about SO miles in length, running from Chnrlotto to Lincoln ton, n small town in Lincoln County, in the western part of f.he State. Superintendent Johnson went to the Bceno of thc disnster early this morning. Timber and other materinl hnvo also gono forward to repair tho damnge lc thc trestle-work. A Queer Contradiction, Tho Kcic? and Courin' of tho 2Sth of December last published thc following harrowing account of a fearful nud ead tragedy ns follows : JACKSON BOHO', S. C., Decembor 26.

Tho Greenville AVir* of January 3rd says : Tho very Rad and elaborately distress ing death of Mr. Maxcy Timmons, over which the Xetcs ovid Courier and tho Vaiiy Xctcs shed lavishly lugubrious tears and commented with a pathos that must have drawn ny ni pat h ol ic tears from many a credulous reader, bas turucd out to be a Ucl lon concocted with such artis tic skill and with so admirably apposite nn array, of circumstantial confirmatory surroundings as lo betray into belief of ila absoluto verily all but one or two per e *???, io whom the antecedents of the ?H. -?1-.-1 actor iu thc drama wero well nown.

A NOT 11KK COLUSION ON TUE AIR LINK. Al l.ciut Three Mi n Itllleil-ltlilllllllg Ono Train Iti-lilnil .Vinillo r A Siii?i<i)i-l?|>. Cl IA It LOTTE, N. C., Dee. '27. Intelligence ol' another frightful rail road disaster reached this city ibis morn* ing about eight o'clock. It occurred on the Air Linc Railroad, live hundred yards beyond I'aw (.'reek Trestle, nine miles from this eily, about seven o'clock. Two freight trains, of the usual size, left Charlotte this morning in section?, one about fifteen minutes behind the other. At I'aw ('reek Trestle fourteen cars of thu forward train, Engineer Anthony, broke loose and stopped, after running a -hort distance. In the rear car were Flagman Hob Grillilh of this eily and six passengers, three of whom were colorid. When the detached < ar< ..topped Flagman Griffith jumped oil', and having told the trainmen to notify the passengers that they had broken loo^c from the remainder of the train, he immediately started to signal Hie second section, which be knew must be only a few minutes behind. He bad not gone back lar before he beard thc approaching train blow, ?ind then real ized the fact that he could proceed no further because ol" the trestle, which is lon yards long and very high. He waived his flag as the engine in charge of Engineer Wlscnbcrry came in sight, and thc engineer expressed his recogni tion of it by immediately blowing on brakes, bul his train was heavy and he was nearing the bottom of one of thc biggest grades ori thc road, hence it was impossible to stop. As soon as bc real ized thi< fact, and before crossing the trestle, he reversed his eugine and con tinued to blov. on brakes. Realizing thc impending catastrophe, bc left lussent and, standing in front of the firebox with bis hand on thc lever, awaited thc shock. It came, and he was pm tinily knocked down by a slick of wood from the tender, but wan otherwise unhurt, though almost entirely shut in by the mass of debris which was thrown against the engine. Ills life was probably saved by the fact that tho rear of tho ten.ter was thrown to one side, tims diverting the full mo mentum of the train from the engine tn the side of the cut, against which thc shattered cars were piled up. All I he passengers in the cab of ibo forward section were either killed or seriously injured. Thomas A. (.initiier, of this city, escaped with broken ribs, bul Philip .S. Wisnaute, also of this city, Charlie Sellers, of l'inebrook, and a negro named Ned Stroud were instantly killed. Thc wreck caught fire and burned ii]), and at least one man was burned alive, as his cries could be heard, bul nothing could be dune (or him. Mr. Qaithcr is the sole survivor of thc pas sengers in the cab. A large force of men is now cngnged in moving the wreck and building a truck around it. .The Carolina Ten Farm. Tho Hon. W. G. LcDuc, United States commissioner of agriculture, arrived in the city on Sunday evening, and is nunr tercd at the Charleston ll itel. He is accompanied bv his private secre tary, Mr. O. D. LaDow, the Hon. J. II. McGowan, a member uf Congress from Michigan, and also a member of thc committee on agriculture of thc House of Representatives, and by Mr. J. Jack son, the expert lea culturist connected with the department. The object of the com missioner's visit is to find a suitable location to establish the experimental tea farm for which Congress has already made thc necessary appropriations. Yesterday Receiver Fisher, of thc South Carolina Railroad,* placed a spe cial train at the disposal of the party, who, in company with Mr. E. L. Koche1, secretary of the Agricultural Society ol South Carolina, inspected thc lands lying along the South Carolina Railroad bc tween this City and Sumerville. Al Sumerville carriages were secured, anil the party visited the plantation of Mr Hen I y A. Middleton, about two mile: from the village. After a thorough ex amination of the soil and thc premises thc commissioner determined to locate the farm at that place, provided BU i tabb arrangements can be made for the con trol of the property. The land selected is n light sand) loam with a good clay subsoil, and is sit uated on tho high and healthy ridge be tween Sumerville and the Ashley Riv cr. A portion of the farm is now undei cultivation ami the test is covered willi t second growth of pine and oaks, 'flu tract contains one thousand acres about two hundred acres of whicl the commissioner proposes to plan in ten.

Among those more prominently mentioned in this connection was Sena tor Blaine. It is said that the reason why Mr. Blaine neglected to pay Iiis respects to Gen. Grant in the Senate Chamber was that only a few days before, when in New York. Gen. Grant had declined to see him when he called ?ind sent in lils card. Mr. Blaine, it is said, was also informed that Gen. Grant lind said he would never speak to bim again. Friends hore of Gen. Grant nlso sny tl at lie is incensed against Gen.

The Horseshoe Fall is frozen solid for 200 feet from either shore, in conseque .c.; of which the Clif ton Water-works .'umpnny have ceased operations. The> cannot control enough water to keep their mnchinery in mo tion, their reservoirs have run dry, and thc town is without a water supply. The massive mounds of stalactites, the formi dable icicles suspended from tho grizzly rocks aro grand beyond description. The ice mountains keep working their way upward, mid now reach n height of about 120 feet. The spray lins made wonderful formations. The pretty cedars are so loaded with ice that they droop nearly to the ground. The grand old trees on Goat Island and in Prospect Park nrc coi oletely frosted over, nod groan under their benvy cunts of icc. Heavy ice continues running over the falls into the river below, and threatens every moment to form an ice bridge. All the icc-honscs in the vicinity ure nearly filled with clear ice, from 12 to 14 inches thick. - Mr. Vennor, thc Canadian weather prophet, having como very near the exact condition of tho weather for December in his predictions, his forecast of what may be expected in January beeornrs of merest. Air. Vennor says : "l anticipate that New Y'ear's callers will have heavy sleighing this year from Montreal to Washington, and thr?i a cold snap during tho first part of this mouth will preserve it for that deriod. I expect blockades of snow in the United States about tho 7th and 8th of January, and rainy days du ring thc month will be exceedingly few. The second quarter will upen with heavy fails and terminate in n cold snap. The middle of thc month will bring snowfall.--, which will terminate in milder weather toward tho end of tho third quarter. The thaw, which will be interrupted by a brief cold spell, will extend from about the 18th of tho month into February. The record of this month will show it to have been a severe one, nnd tho general conditions of the weather will remind us of some of what are called real old-f.tsh i.nied winters." - Tho gross revenue of the United Kingdom for 1880 was ?83,290,390.
