The vote upon the second reading of Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule Bill for the future government of Ireland was reached : m the House of Commons on last Mon? day, and resulted in a defeat of the meas? ure by a vote of 311 for/and 341 against ' it?a majority of thirty for those opposed to home rule. The majority is unexpect? edly large, as it was expected that the vote would be close and uncertain, with chances slightly against the bill. The excitement over the result was great, and amid tha hubbub Mr. Gladstone, wearing _a haggard look, moved to adjourn to Thursday, (to day,) which motion was adopted, and he left the House. It is expected that the parliament will be pro S rogued by the Queen and the question submitted to the voters of Great Britain, ??by_which course it is predicted that Mr. ^Gladstone will be overwhelmingly sus? tained, and the measure passed by a new parliament. One of the most tragic and fatal acci dents which has ever occurred in the railroad annals of this State, happened to the North bound train from Charleston 1 on the North Eastern Railroad, near St.1 Stephens, on the San tee trestle, on last Monday, at 2:22 o'clock p. m. The tres? tle gave way and the whole train, except I the engine and sleeping car, were precip? itated into the swamp below. The cars . fell into water in the swamp, but fortu? nately it was not "of a depth toy cover : them, or the entire crowd of passengers /"would have perished. The work of death and maiming, however, was fearful. Six j^ersons beiug killed, and thirteen seri? ously wounded. JChe following persons ^were instantly killed: Dr. G. G. Kin loch, Wm.-Inglesby, Capt. J. L. Cole, /-Miss Hannah Wilson, Miss Flora Mclver, of Charleston, and Miss Nella McWhite, f Marion. The list of wounded com riseslhirteen and ia as follows: B. G. Mazyck, conductor, seriously injured; F. W. Ren necke r, mail agent, dangerously <5?rj?ed; Henry Husbands, baggage mas? ter, seriously injured; . Warren Burges, ? colored, wood passer, painfully injured ; James Goaldman, news agent, slightly injured; "W. C. Chandler, of. Sumter,, ^ slightly injured ; Miss Marion McWhite, of Marion County, slightly injured; W. B. Barnes, Lynchburg,' Va., painfully but not dangerously injured; Henry Henry, colored, slightly; injured ; Ex? press Messengers West and Price, both ly injured ; R. .Smith, sleeping car porter, seriously injured; John Wright, Wilmington, N. C, seriously in? jured. No cause has been discovered for the accident, but a thorough investiga? tion will be made, and the blame, if there f is any, will be placed Where it belongs. CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. A meeting of the Democratic Execu? tive Corjmi ttee of the Third Concession **5rTJiatrict was held at Seneca City on Friday night last, when-the following resolution was adopted: I Resolved, That this Committee recom p-mend to the several Connty Democratic Conventions of this District to elect the number of delegates to which they are entitled on the basis of representation, established in 1884, to a Convention to be held in Seneca City at 8.30 o'clock p. m. on Wednesday, the 7th day of July next, instructed &s to the wishes of the several Counties upon the question of J nominating a Congressman by primary election, and for the purpose-of settling that quggtjftn only, with power to fix the p-4fttoror< such election, and prescribe rules for tho conduct thereof, if the primary plan shall be adopted by such Conven? tion. Under this call the several Counties are invited to send delegates empowered [to settle the question of nominating can Idld?tes for Congress by primary eltction, and to this end it will be necessary for the several Counties in this District to express their wishes and send -delegates to carry them out. The Committee stood three in favor of and two against prima? ries for nominating member of Congress rjjfii tBlS'District,. as follows: Yeas rs. W. 0.Benet, Abbeville; J. K. Gogganr-, Newberry, and R. E. Thomp? son, Oconee. Nays?Messrs. E. B. Mur? ray, Anderson, and D. F. Bradley, Pick ens. Under the Constitution it will take the concurrence of all of the Counties to hold a primary, or an amendment to be made by the State Convention. ? Secretary Manning on May 20th handed President Cleveland his resigna? tion as Secretary of the Treasury, stating that his health would not permit an early resumption of the active .duties of his office. On June 1st the president replied, declining to accept Manning's resigna? tion at present, aud asking him instead to take leave of absence until October 1st, when the subject may be renewed if Manning remains of the same mind as now. Manning will leave Washington -for'an extended stay at the Hot Springs of Virginia. _The House committee ou war claims on Friday listened to an argument by Judge Fullerton, of New York, rep? resenting the Confederate bondholders, who urged the redemption of those bonds fet^ttte government. Tbe Evolution Question not Settled. Pelzer, J?ne 3rd, 1886. Editoe Intelligencer: The head? ing to your article on Evolution in your last issue, "The Evolution Question Settled," it? misleading. The question is far from being settled yet, and the adop? tion by the Augusta Assembly of the resolutions on tbe subject of evolution, enact no law ami carry no authority. They are merely in thesi deliverances, which certainly will in turn be overruled by some subsequent assembly, though the present majority have prepared for the Presbyterian Church a heavy load of shame and disgrace. Dr. Wbodrow, in his speech before the General Assembly, said: There is much of doubt hanging over new sciences, and we ought not to be too hurried in the expressions of our opin? ions. It is desirable tbat the Church should take more time before giving a definite utterance of its opinion upon evolution. I do not want to reflect on our predecessors, but whenever the Church has undertaken to decide any question showing the relation of science and religion, she has always been totally wrong, invariably and dreadfully wrong. Fifteen hundred years ago the Church taught tbat the idea was not only ridicu j Ioub, but contrary to tbe Scriptures, tbat the earth was round. In the sixteenth century the mobility of the earth and fixedness of the starry system was con? demned by the Christian Church. Tbe law or gravitation was condemned as taking away from God the power he bad of controlling his universe. Shall we learn anything or not? Shall we not learn that we must take a little time to decide these questions ? * * * * * , As to evolution, it is a matter of ab? solute indifference. I care nothing for it What is evolution? At beat it is nothing but a hypothesis, a theory, con? ducted altogether outside of tbe word of God. Like chemistry or astronomy, it is a science not in the word of God, bot if there is a single word of God tbat is con? trary to it, that is enough to condemn it with me. If this Assembly should pro? pose to make any deliverance in favor of evolution, I should oppose it as strongly as any member of this body. The ques? tion before us is, Shall this Assembly in? ject into the word of God something that is not there? You are asked to prescribe the time occupied by God in the creation of man, when God has not told you. The Bible tells us that God created man of duot, but it doesn't say how krag he was in doing it, and you are adding your own petty notions to his ever glorious and true word. You will be violating the sacred trust imposed in you. You will be sayiDg what he has not authorised. you to say, speaking in his name what he himself has not spoken or authorised you to speak. I beseech you, therefore, not for my sake, but that' you may be true servants of the high God, that you do not drive away those who cannot subscribe to such a declaration. There'is nothing in the Bible that will authorise' you to say the creation was "immediate," and if you do so, you go in the face of the word of God, It is a sad fact tbat Dr. Woodro w was condemned and sentenced May 29th, while-his trial for the offense will only begin August 15th next. ? No effort was made to elect as Commissioners to the Assembly friends of Dr. Wood row. The < Synod of South Carolina, although1 friendly to Dr. Wood row, was represent-1 ed by delegates in opposition to him, and this is one reason for tbe large majority; against Dr. Wood row. The Bev. Dr. Breckinridge, of Ej., in; his time one of the giants of the Presby? terian Church, once wittily said, "God Almighty has foreordained, and predes? tined, that Synods and Assemblies should I once in a while make asses of them I selves." A good many Presbyterians think the Doctor not far wrong, certainly not if he had lived in our day. S. A Reply to Farmer. Pendleton, S. C, June 4tb, 1886. I Mr. Editor: Yoor correspondent, 1 writing over the name of "Farmer," of : June 3rd, has figured up the cost of ' what he is pleased to call the "Tillman ! Farmer's Movement," and in so doing he i assumes that the sole object of the far j mer's attending the meetings of tbe Counties?the sole object of electing del gates, and the delegates leaving their business, paying their expenses in attend? ing the Convention at Columbia?the whole thing, and every effort in the / mat? ter, was for the special benefit of that man Moses, (Tillman), so he could un? load his wisdom. Nothing more nor less. Now, sir, that Is tantamount to and does stigmatize all the farmers tbat had anything to do with the movement as blame fools, and says they should have been at home at work. Well, you see, he would not allow the farmers as a class to raise their heads or stop digging one minute to take any steps or advise to? gether for their betterment, or even to look op from the sod to see who rnigh t be trying to grab a part or all of their hard diggings. Better Jbeen at home at work, he said. I would not have felt any more indignant if he had come out flatly and called us all fools for attempting to look to our betterment as a class, when that is the order of the day with every other class, bnt he cannot allow tbe farmer that privilege. It is very clear that he?though he signs his name "Farmer"?is opposed to the whole movement that the farmers are making for their benefit. He preaches from the text, "Economy," and he does not know what we farmers mean by economy. We mean to stop digging just long enough, and to spend time and money enough, to cause economy to be? gin at the other end, in some other de? partment of the Government. We, the farmers, have economised too much al? ready by continuing to dig and work at home, as he says we should, not allowing ourselves time to attend public meetings, to devise plans and bring about the right sort of economy in all the official business of tbe State, which would so much re? duce our burden of taxes, and while all others except tbe farmers are taking time to hold meetings and are working in or? ganizations for their special benefit. Mr. Farmer does not allow that we should take that sort of time from our eternal digging, and I suppose next he will cal? culate the time tbat we are losing in at? tending our Farmers' Clubs. Belter be at home at work?slave like?so that we may dig out enough for the whole population of the State to live on. Respectfully submitted, Another Farmer. ?

Washington, D. C, June 5th, 1886. The one subject on the lips of every man, woman and child Wednesday and Thursday was the Presidential wedding. At the hour for performing the ceremony, the city was deafened with the ringing of belhi and blowing of whistles from all quarters. Both the bride and groom were prompt to the minute. Tho cere? mony was quickly but impressively per? formed in the presence of the few invited guests. All the Cabinet officers and their wives were present, except Attorney Gen? eral Garland, who studiously avoids ap? pearing any where when the occasion calls for weariug a swallow-tail coat. During the ceremony all persons present stood near by to the bridal couple, except Secretary Manning for whom an easy chair was provided. After the ceremony, the bridal party repaired to the State dining room and partook of the collation served. The floral decorations were exquisite, the dressing elegant, and the -collation royal. During the evening there was a fine pyrotechnic display at Fort Meyer, which lighted up the Virgin? ia shore in honor of the event, and a salute was fired just South of the White House grounds. At a few minutes before nine the President and his bride left the White House from the South portico where the crowd could not approach, and were quickly driven through the most quiet- streets to the special cars switched onto a siding of the B. & 0. to convey them to Deer Park. The arrangements for the departure were so complete and kept such a ctose secret that the Presi? dent and his bride were far on their journey. before any person outside knew that they had left the House. The crowd around the Mansion was dense from five o'clock until ten at night. The Mansion was brilliantly illuminated until mid? night, but tho heavy drapery to the win? dows and the ingenious arrangement of the hot house plants excluded all view of the interior from the outside and yet per mitted the bright rays from, within to to shed their brilliancy on the beautiful lawns on all sides of the Man? sion. As early as eight o'clock the next morning 1,000 people bad congregated at the House with the hope of getting inside to view the decorations and carry away some memento, but strict orders were given to admit no one. By 12 o'clock all vestige of the beauty of the previous evening had been removed, and the East Room looked as if nothing un? usual had occurred within its stately walls a few hours before. A number of special officers were on duty, however, .to prevent memento gatherers from cutting pieces from the costly lace curtains. Newspaper men without exception were refused permission to witness the ceremony, or to even view the two rooms with their elaborate arrangements, either before or after the ceremony. The only newsgatheier admitted was a female cor? respondent, who gave points to the "boys" immediately after the ceremony, and for which she received money enough to pay .for a trip to Europe this Summer and have a nice little sum left after all expen? ses are paid. The President before leaving gave orders that all the cut flowers used should be distributed to the hospitals iu the city on Thursday. His gift to the bride was? a diamond necklace composed of a single string of brilliants. As an act of clemency on bis wedding day he granted an unconditional pardon to Bigelow, the defaulting teller of one of the banks here, who has served three years in the Albany penitentiary. Since Bigelow's confinement his wife has died and his six little children have been wholly dependent upon their grand parents for support. The President made up biB mind some time ago to pardon Bigelow, but concluded to defer it until his wedd ing day. The following is the form of the license and return made by the officiating clergy? man to the clerk of our court, under an act of Congress: "To any minister of the gospel author? ized to celebrate marriages in the Dis? trict of Columbia, greeting: You are hereby liceniied to solemnize the rites of marriage between Grover Cleveland, of Buffalo, N. Y., and Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, Y. Y., if you find no lawful im? pediment thereto ; and having done so, you are commanded to appear in the clerk's office of the Supreme Court of said District and certify the same. Wit? ness my hand and the seal of said court, this 2d day of June, 1886. R. J. Meig8, Clerk." "I, Byron Sunderland, minister of the First Presbyterian Church, in Washing? ton, D. C, hereby certify that by author? ity of a license of the same tenor as the foregoing, I solemnized the marriage of the parties aforesaid, on the 2d day of June, 1886, at the Executive Mansion* in the District of Columbia. "B. Sunderland." _ H. Death of John Kelly. New York, June 1.?John Kelly, the Tammany politician, died at half-past 8 o'clock this afternoon. The news of tho death of John Kelly cannot be said to be wholly unexpected, and yet it is a pain? ful surprise, for there was always the hope that he would recover from his ill? ness and take his old place in political circles, where, for so many years, he wielded a powerful influence. John Kelly was a mason by trade, but in his early manhood he engaged in politics and ' was elected alderman of New York City, and afterwards a member of Congress. In 1858 he resigned, hav? ing been elected High Sheriff of the city and County of New York. Mr. Kelly la best known on account of his connection with the Tammany Society, of which he became Grand Sachem and absolute ruler, after the downfall of the Tweed dynasty. The whole force of Tammany he wielded according to his own will, as was shown by his power in defeating Governor Robinson, the Democratic can? didate for Governor of New York, to whose nomination he was opposed. But Mr. Kelly did not acorn to take his part of the hazards of the combat, and was himself a candidate for Governor, know? ing that the effect would be to defeat the Democrat and elect the Republican. ? In truth Mr. Kelly was not a man of half measures in bis loves or his hates, as was shown especially by his bitter opposition to Mr. Cleveland at the Chica? go Convention in 1884. Even then he was somewhat broken in health, and had lost much of his old political audacity. But he kept up the fight until the nomi? nation was made and never gave in cor? dial adhesion to the Democratic ticket. Mr. Kelly was not a common man in any way, for he gave himself a liberal education, and bad a large fund of infor? mation on most subjects. It was the independent self-reliance of the man, his thorough-going nature, his readiness to help his friends and hurt his opponents which made him so strong. There was brain in it all, and, whatever bis fortune, it can truthfully be said that he was an honest man, and had no part in any of tho stealing which has given to New York politicians so unenviable a name. It is notorious that he was mixed up in political Bcheraes and projects of a low order, rind that ho had about him many politicians who were unscrupulous, but no farihiug (hat was filched from the public treasury ever went into his pocket. This was recognized wl.on ho had charge of tho financial administration of New York City, as well as when he was sheriff. Mr. Kelly was born in 1821, and at the time of his death was in his GGth year. Faults he had, of course, but he had many shining virtues, aud it can hardly be doubted that many a man who stands higher than he in tin* w .rid'* gaze, is far lower before the All-seeing eye to-day than sturdy John Kelly. Infuriated Women. Chicago, Juno 4.?There was a report this morning at Cummings that the Rock Island road would move four cars loaded with, nails made by new men at Cum mings's nail works. As several of the strikers had been enjoined from interfer? ing in any way with the working of the mills, the removal of these cars was pre? vented in a peculiar way. Ten o'clock was the hour when the engines were ex? pected up from South Chicago, and before that hour women and children to the number of two hundred, wives and families of former employes, assembled with sticks iu their hands, around the terminus of tho railroad tracks and oppo? site to the entrance to the nail works. Females were sent down the track towards South Chicago to apprise the party of the engine's approach. While these were keeping guard, a contingent was dispatched to the residence of Tom Beth? el, a uon-uniou mau, who was moving to Colehour for safety. Mrs. Bethel was alone superintending the packing of household goods when she was startled by the beating of tin paus and wild hoots and yells. Several windows were smashed by boulders, aud she was berated roundly by the women and children until the po? lice dispersed tho party. They returned to the depot, and at the same time one of the pickets came ruuning breathlessly along the track, waving her shawl and shouting "t? the cars I" This was signal? ing the approach of the engine. Then there was a rush to where the loaded cars were standing. Mothers, with infants in arms, and dragging youngsters by the baud, hurried along. All ages were represented. .Mothers grouped their little ones along the track some distance ahead of the first freight car and packed them according to age on the rails, the younge?t toward the engine, the mothers and grown up daughters taking position in the rear. The engine steamed up slowly, but seeing the living obstacle on the track reversed and returned to South Chicago. Then the Amazons dispersed and on their return jeered and abused the representa? tives of the company at the gate, calling them the most opprobrious names, the police by their presence only preventing an infliction of violence by the infuriated women. At two o'clock when the engines ap? peared again, fully 2,000 women and children were thronging the tracks and apparently as determined as before to hold them. Captain Hunt, with sixty policemen from Hyde Park, had reported in the meantime and attempted to clear tho tracks, but could do it only with great difficulty. The women, feeling sure they would not be clubbed, refused to move, or moved very slowly when told to do so, and closed up agaiu on the tracks unless absolutely held back by the officers. The engines were unable to get by them without killing them. The greatest excitement prevailed, and all attempts made to move the cars proved futile. During tbe evening the tracks were finally cleared of women and children. Then new complications arose. The train men unanimously refused to lift a hand toward moving two'cars loaded with so called "scab" nails. The Rock Island officials at once dis? charged the entire crew, engineers fire? men and all concerned, including the switchmen. There is a possibility that the affair will lead to serious trouble between the railroad and tbe various unions of which the offending train men are members. Mrs. Urover Clevelaud. Washington, D. C, June 2.?Presi? dent Cleveland was married this evening to Miss Frankie Folsome in the Blue Room of the executive mansion. Tbe most distinguished bachelor in the land is now a Benedict. The ceremony was performed promptly at seven by tho Rev. Dr. Sunderland of the Presbyterian church. There were only about fifty gue&ts, including Post? master General Vilas and wife, and Sec? retary and Mrs. Endicott, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Secretary Manning and wife, Secretary Bayard, Secretary Lamar, Mr. Wilson Bissell, the president's law partner, and Private Secretary Lamont and wife. The guests were received by Miss Rose Cleveland. The floral decorations of the Blue room, the East room and dining saloon were magnificent. During the ceremonies the President and his bride stood in the cen? ter of the Blue parlor. Mr. Benjamin Russell, cousin of the bride, and Mrs. F'olsom, her mother, stood near her, and the rest of the distinguished company were grouped about the room. The magnificent dresses of the ladies, their flashing jewels and the beautiful floral decorations made a brilliant scene. The bride's dress was of ivory satin, sim? ply garnished on tbe high corsage with India muslin, crossed in Grecian folds and carried iu exquisite falls of simplici? ty over the petticoat. A tulle veil envel? oped her. She carried no flowers and wore no jewelry except her diamond engagement ring. Miss Cleveland's dress was a combination of Nile green and cameo pink duchossc satin. After the ceremouy the pretty, blush? ing, first lady of the land presided at the elegant collation. The wedding cake was a wonder. The souvenir cakes pre? sented to the guests were in rich white satin boxes ornamented with silver. The President and his bride after the wedding supper proceeded by special train to Deer park, on the Allegheny and Maryland, where the two weeks honeymoon will be spent in a charming cottage.?Dispatch to Greenville News, ? A hermit known as Isaac Webely, about 70 years old, was fouud dead re? cently in a log cabin, in which he had been for many years the solitary occu? pant in the heart of a pine wood near Arnold, N. J. An account says; "Around the dead man's neck was a gold chain, from which hung a locket of anti? que design and workmanship. In it was the picture of a young and beautiful lady, whose attire indicated that she be? longed to a wealthy family. In the back case of an old 'bull's-eye' watch was a tintype portrait of a little child so faded as to be almost indistinguishable."' ? South Carolina should have a can? vass of candidates for Goveruor before the nominating convention meets?some? thing like Georgia has now between Ba? con and Gordon. Let the candidates declare themselves and go before the people. The custom in this State is to have a convention to nominate candi? dates, and then the nominees go round and say their little speeches when nobody wants to hear them. The canvass should precede the nominations.?Newberry Ob? server, ? But the great hope, the one and only great hope of the workingman, is in real and genuine Christianity. When the world renders obedience to the doc? trines of Jesus, and not until then, will the wrongs of society be righted, and the brotherhood of mau be established. ?New York Sun. ? The acreage in cotton of the cotton growing States last year was 17,322,388 acres. The crop for the season was 5,774,GG5 bales, equal to 2,742,660,011 pounds of lint or about 8,228,808,033 pounds of seed cotton. The great ex? pense attached to cotton growing is the cost of* picking. The lowest price paid for picking in any of the Southern States is fifty cents per 100 pounds. As the crop amouutod to 8,228,89S,033 pounds the cost of picking was $41,414,440. ?

LESSER, Agent. Juno 10,1886_48_3m GRAND CLEARING SALE. In ORDER TO REDUCE OUR IMMENSE STOCK OF GOODS, and to make room for the third large shipment of Dry Goods, expected to arrive daily, we have determined to offer all our lines in this Department for the next thirty days AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES To cash-payiug customers, aud we wish to assure those who patronize us with their cash trade, that they are only charged oue price for the Goods they buy from us. We mean this: That we do not charge one person more for the same article than we do another, and that we deal with everybody alike. In offering this reduction in prices we do not say that we are selling out at or below co3t. On the contrary, we are engaged to sell Goods at a legitimately fair profit; and while we are satisfied with a small profit, can justly say that we are in a position to offer you better goods, prices and bargains than many other houses. We buy in large lots for cash, with our own money, therefore paying no interest on them, whereby we save six per cent on the goods, four per cent for buying in large lots, and tea per cent interest?a total saving of twenty (20) per cent. You can, no doubt, readily see now why we can afford to make a large reduction from former prices and still live. We much prefer selling twice as many Goods as we do now at much lower prices than to sell half as many at the old-time high prices. It is conceded by every Lady who has visited our Store that we keep for sale as pretty and v.'ell selected a stock of Goods as can be found anywhere, and our largely increased City aud Couuty trade has much encouraged us to try to please the public still better in every parlicular. We expect to double our sales for the uext two months over the sales for the corresponding time last year, and see no reason why we should not do so, having more Goods, at lower prices, and increased facilities than formerly.
