Insulting Mrs* Cleveland. lib, Minn., Oct. 13.?The itement occasioned by the appearance the Minneapolis IHbune, on the morn after President Cleveland's visit, of editorial containing severe strictures the administration, and the manner of ducting what the Tribune called the for votes," culminated to-night n A. J. Blethen, proprietor of the was burned in effigy by a crowd ignant citizens. The exceptions taken to the editorial based principally on the language -with reference to Mrs. Cleveland which was as follows: "And it is extremely hard to respect member of this family now tour votes. Mrs. Cleveland is a hand? le, mature woman, apparently several rt older than she is said to be?at ist she was old enough to have exer her own tree choice in marrying ver Cleveland. It is inconceivable she should have married him except tain the position of mistress of the _ toHopae. Such a marriage would rer have been thought of but for the onishing political accidents which in i course of two or three years brought j? Cleveland out of the obscurity, which his proper element, to the highest posi in the nation. It is hard to have for a woman who would sell irself to so gross and repulsive a man G'rover Cleveland, and one with a ate record so malodorous, for the ible of a brief social ascendency, is now an object of curiosity and rk.for gaping crowds, and her pho phs are sold almost, if not quite, as !y as Mrs. Langtry's. Such is her rd. If she can secure re-election ver, she will have four years more gratification which the highest social 'fence gives and of the delight of ring newspaper notoriety. After e will simply have lo put up with the, wife - of as insignificant and e a man as an ex-President could be. One cannot help a pang of for her, but she has chosen her ately." i effigy burners were led by Mayor _. Ames. After burning the effigy crowd proceeded to the Tribune build? ingand made further demonstrations, 3?|jpfcwa8 finally dispersed by the police. " UBlethen regards the affair as a joke on Ames and the crowd, as importan t kept him away from the Tribune on Tnesday night, and he knew ?whatever of the article till it ap ori Wednesday morning; I The President Gets Left. Nashville, Tenn., October 15.?At McKenzie, Tenn., the President, Mrs. Cleveland and the Postmaster General actually got left, the special?train start? ing off for Nashville without them. The place is a crossing of the lines of two railroads at light angles, and the proposed route of the excursionists deflected from northeast to southeast, When the train came to a stop the mayor boarded the President's car and informed him that a platform had been erected close by the train and five thousand people were waiting to see and hear him. "I will not talk," said the President, "but since yon have made such preparation I will go but and shake hands with as many as possible. Have them pass quickly for we have but a moment to stop." There? upon the President, Mrs. Cleveland and the Postmaster General alighted, the crowd cheered and the artillery began its pounding. The railroad people Btarted the train ahead to run it around the "Y," and upon the other line. The engines were changed and the general manager's car, the second instance since leaving Washington, was. sandwiched between the engine and the vestibule train with the general manager aboard. The train came npon the Bide of the station oppo? site that on which the travellers had alighted, and, puiling slowly past, started out on its way to Nashville. As it gath? ered headway General Agent Baldwin, of the Pullman Company, clambered hastily over dynamo and trunks in the baggage room of the vestibule train and' burst in upon the occupants of the car with the query: "Where are you going?" "Going to Nashville," replied the manager of the railroad. "Going without the Presi? dent?" asked Mr. Baldwin. "Why he's aboard," said the railroad man. "I saw him as the train Btarted." No, he's not," answered Mr. Baldwin, "you have left him behind." The rope was pulled and the train came to a stop about a mile from the station. The signal was given for backing up, but the grade was heavy and the. locomotive, light, and as often aa the air-brakes-released their hold the train forged ahead. After a delay of five or ten minutes the engineer pulled to the foot of the grade and a little distance beyond, where he succeeded in getting backward momentum enough to carry the train back to the station. The President came aboard, laughing, but remarked, with a good, deal of em? phasis, that he would not again consent to leave except at places indicated on the programme of arrangements. "They were very good fellows there," he said, "but the crowding was some? thing tremendous." Mrs. Cleveland graciously pretended to have enjoyed the experience, but there was an expression upon her nice which indicated that she was heartily glad to find herself in her own cozy parlor. Aside from this incident the afternoon ride was uneventful. Death of S. J. Douthit. Geeenvtlle, October 15.?Probate Judge, and Master, Samuel J. Douthit, died at his residence in this city at noon to-day, aged 46 years. Judge Douthit was, perhaps, the most popular and uni . versaily esteemed public man in Green? ville County. He came to Greenville young and entered a. store as a clerk. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Butler Guards, which was among the first companies ordered to Virginia. At Malvern Hill he lost a leg, aha was com? pelled to return home. He was then appointed postmaster for Greenville, which office he held till the close of the war. In 1866 he was elected ordinary for Greenville district When that office was abolished in 1868 he was chosen probate judge, which position he held uninterruptedly till his death. He has had frequent opposition, but in every case was elected by overwhelming majori? ties. In 1879, when the office of master was created, he was appointed to fill it, and he continued to do so until his death. Judge Douthit was married in 1866 to Mis3 Isbel, of Virginia, whom he had met while a patient in a Virginia war hospital. They had nine children, six of whom, together with his wife, survive him. Judge Douthit was an active member and a steward in the' Methodist Church. He was a sturdy Democrat all his life, being for a long Urne chairman of the city Democratic club. Of his character no better testimonial could, or need be given than the fact that while for nineteen yeara he was continually, before the public in a responsible office, there was never a stain on his reputation, and it could be safely said that he was stronger in the confidence and esteem of the people when he died than ever before. He was not a highly educated man, but his strong common sense and unerring judgment gave him a superior reputation in legal circles for the broad knowledge and wisdom of his administration as probate judge and master. His death is a serious loss to Greenville County. Few men there are in it who will be more widely, more sincerely mourned. A Courthouse Romance. Coffeeville, Miss., October110.? The Circuit Court of Calhoun County,' recently convened, has had the climax of a romance at the close of its session. The last case on the docket was that of the State against Robert and Simon Woodward, who were indicted for the murder of Archie Douglass, an old man who lived eight miles east of this place on the Vann's Mill road. In June of last year Bob Woodward, a youth 20 years of age, began paying court to Alice Douglass, a niece of the Archie Douglass who was killed. He soon gained her affection, and the two, hand in hand, approached the uncle, asking his-consent to an early marriage. Douglass immediately flew into a passion and ordered the young man to leave the house, saying at the same time: "Bob Woodward, I have told yon never to darken my door again, and you heed my words, for if you ever attempt to see or have any commnnication with Alice, I'll shoot you on sight." This was a total surprise to the young couple who had anticipated no trouble in gaining the old man's consent. An elopement was soon planned. s The young lover, accompanied by his brother Simon and a friend, came to town on the 26th of August, secured a marriage license,' and, waiting until night, rode out to Douglass's residence. On nearing the gate Bob gave the signal agreed on, but as no answer was returned Simon, his brother, volunteered to creep I around to the girl's window and see , what was the matter. The young man I had not taken a dozen steps before Archie Douglass stepped from the shad? ows of the house and without speaking, presented a double-barrelled shotgun fall at bis breast and pulled the trigger. The gun missed fire, and before Douglass could try the other barrel, the young man had drawn a revolver and Bent a bullet through his heart. Douglass Bank to the ground dead, and the young men, mounting their horses, rode back to town and surrendered themselves to the sheriff. When Court came on a change of venue was taken to Calhonn County. This delayed the trial for a year, and it was not until this term that the boys had to answer the charge of mnrder in the first degree. The jury brought in a ver? dict of justifiable homicide, and the two brothers were at once discharged. Immediately Bob Woodward arose from his seat, made his way through the crowd of spectators to where a veiled female sat, and, extending his arm to her, led her back with him until both were fiicing the Judge, when, Woodward presenting the license he had purchased a year before, asked to be married. The Judge soon tied the knot, and the young couple accompanied by a cheering mob, repaired to their home. ? There will be a meeting in Raleigh, N. 0., in a few days of ex-Confederates and others interested in the matter to consider the establishment of a home for North Carolina's disabled and in firm Con? federate veterans. The Raleigh News and Observer expresses the hope that there will be a full attendance on the meeting of all classes, and that some plan of action will be agreed upon that will result speedily in the establishment of such a home as the necessities of the situation require. A Game of Draw, . Columbia, S. C, October 12.?News was received to-day from Walterboro, Colleton County, to the effect that the toren is intensely agitated over a recent series of cowinding and threatened duels, all growing out of the fascinating and popular game of poker. All the parties concerned belong to the first families of the place. It appears that the eldest son of Major Edwards, the principal lawyer of the town, has been leading a fast life since he married the beautiful daughter of the late Colonel James H. Bion, who, it will be remembered, was alleged to be a son of the dauphin of France. Young Edward's frequent and protracted ab? sence from home at night aroused his wife's ire, and last Saturday night, guid? ed by a young lad named Izlar, she un? ceremoniously entered the room in which her husband and several of his male friends were engaged in a game of draw poker. [ Among those present, was a Mr. Bel? linger, who bears the reputation of being a "bad man" in a fight. Mrs. Edwards seems to have thought him in some way responsible for her husband's habits, and drawing a cowhide from beneath her shawl, she set upon him and beat him unmercifully before she could be secured. Her sex saved her from retaliation on the part of Bellinger, who, however, ex rested his intention of holding her hus and responsible, and forthwith drew a pistol, to kill him. Mrs. Edwards's nerve forsook her, and sinking upon her knees before Bellinger, she begged for? giveness for the cowniding, and entreated him to spare her husband's life. Bel? linger then left the room, threatening to kill any one who should divulge the oc? currence. Next day, when the story got out, Bellinger sought Edwards and wore out a cowhide upon hia person. It is further stated that Bellinger com? pelled Edwards, at the point of a pistol, to go to the house of young Izlar to cow? hide him for showing Mrs. Edwards the oker room, but the appearance of the oy's father prevented it being done. At last accounts many of the best citizens of Walterboro had taken opposite Bides in the matter, and were, going about armed to the teeth. A hostile meeting, more or less according to the code, is rumored as iu prospect between Bellin? ger and Edwards.?Dispatch to Atlanta Gmstitution. Senator Brown Cornered. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 11.?Senator Brown will have to give an additional bond of $1,000,000 for the lease of the State road or give it up. This crisis between the State and. her senior Senator, which was reached to-day, has aroused deep interest. For many years it has been known that the present bond of the lessees, which was signed by the then presidents of the various connecting systems, was so defective as to be worth? less. The interest in the lease has been largely swallowed up by the Louisville and Nashville road, while the original lessees are either dead or have retained only nominal interest. Senator Brown, for instance, owns only one-fourth of a share. A couple of weeks ago he an? nounced that on the expiration of the lease he wonld not surrender the better? ments to the State, and the legislators were puzzled. It was the Senator who was puzzled to-day, however, when Mr. Berner offered a resolution in the House that the lessees be required to increase their bond to $2,000,000, and in the event that this is not done within thirty days that the Governor be directed to take possession of the property. Mr. Harrell moved that the increase be fixed at $1, 000,000, which was accepted, and a hot debate ensued. Finally a vote was reached, and the resolution was passed by a vote of 114 to 13. The unanimity of the vote astonished the State road ring and made the ques? tion as to what they would do one of great importance. It may be stated that the lessees will not give the required bond and that they will legally resist all effort} of the Governor to retake the road. They insist that the old bond was accepted by the State with eyes open, I and that if it is not sufficient it is the State's misfortune. Consequently if the Senate passes the resolution?ana it un? doubtedly will?there will be Borne lively skirmishing between Senator Brown and Governor Gordon along the old line fought over by Sherman and Johnston. Forty Dollars a Year. Columbia, October 13.?In pursuance of the annual custom of this office, the earliest opportunity iB taken of furnish? ing to the public the statistics of the opening week of the College. The fig? ures have peculiar interest at this time, inasmuch as the College now charges a tuition fee of $40 a year, has greatly raised its standard of admission and has abolished its sub-collegiate classes. The declaration iu this correspondence, on the 6th instant, that there were about 140 students on the grounds and that the tuition feature would probably not cost the College more than 25 or 30 students, is fully corroborated by the following carefully prepared statistics: Numbnr of matriculates October 13.140 Old st jilents on the grounds completing their matriculation. 3 Old students who have written that they will certainly return within the next few days...- 5 Applicmts now on the grounds. 4 Applicants to report this week.. 2 Number confidently expected by Oct. 16.154 N amber of applicants rejected to date. 9 A -erage number matriculated to October 16, for five preceding years.~.1C4 Letters received from old students and from applicants indicate that the enroll? ment for the session will reach at least 175. The average total enrollment for the five preceding years has been 195. Of the 140 matriculates to date, 94 are old and 46 are new students. Twenty old and ten new students have asked for the remission of their tuition fees under the terms of the Act passed by the Legislature at its last session. There are 16 law and 124 academic students, and the number taking the agricultural and mechanical courses will be as large as before. In the agricultural department there are three candidates for degrees in the full four years' course, which is more than ever before, and there are also three candidates for the degree of civil engineer, on the full four years' course, which is likewise an in? crease. Of course, the candidates for certificates who take the shorter courses in these two departments are more numerous. The examinations have been more rigid than for any previous year, and it is probable tha t a majority of the nine ap? plicants rejected would have been admit? ted under the less severe examinations of last year. President McBryde says that the material of the students is decidedly the best which has been offered since the reorganization, and he considers the con? dition of the College most encouraging. He had not expected an annual enroll? ment of more than 150 under the new conditions, while it is now evident that it will reach 175. A Social Sensation In Union, Union, October 11.?The young peo? ple of the community were a little excited yesterday over the wedding of a runaway couple. Miss Mamie Eison, a charming young lady, was to have been married to a Mr. Pressly, from below here, last night. All arrangements had been rjade for an elegant marriage and reception, but Mr. Robert Porter, of Knoxville, Tenn., a former and favored lover, arrived just in time to change them. He met Miss Eispn the night before, when they laid the plan they carried out yesterday. Agreeing upon a point on Church street as a place for meeting, they were both prompt and punctual to the minute, and lost no time in repairing to the Baptist parsonage, where the Rev. Mr. Covington made them man and wife. They then repaired to the dwelling of the groom's father. They left on the midnight train for their future home "as happy as happy can be." ? Mrs. Neill, a lady now living in Darlington County, is drawing a pension as a widow of a soldier who fought in the Revolutionary war. Investigation proves that Mis. Neill was but twenty years of age when she was married to her hus? band, who, at that time, was fully eigh? ty. Death in Their Midst. At Memphis, Judge H. T. Ellett, of the Chancery Court, was the orator selected to welcome President Cleveland on the occasion of his visit to that city last week, and died a few minutes after his task had been completed. Though the day was not uncomfortably warm, the spot was exposed, and Judge Ellett, who stood for a time with his hat off as the President was speaking, sat down and was soon overcome by the heat. Dr. Bryant, of the Presidential party, took the direction of affairs and remained with the unfortunate gentleman, while the President was escorted to the Cotton and Merchants' Exchanges. Judge Ellett died five minutes after the Presi? dent left the reviewing stand. When Judge Ellett Bank into his chair in a fainting condition, some little confusion followed. Dr. Bryant, assisted by Post? master General Vilas and Col. Hobt F. Looney, caught him as be was in the act of falling to the platform. Several gen? tlemen of the committee who were seated in close proximity aided in the efforts that were being made to restore him to consciousness. Three or four of the ladies spread their fans and did all in their power to revive him. Water was thrown in his face and stimulants admin? istered. Dr. Kennedy Jones came to the assistance of Dr. Bryant, and the two worked with the prostrate and uncon? scious form, but without avail. * President Cleveland, who bad just fin? ished his address, stood looking with sad and sympathetic countenance at the efforts being made to revive the venera? ble jurist, while Mrs. Cleveland seemed deeply affected. The presidential party had left the platform before Dr. Bryant sadly arose from over the body, and turning to an acquaintance remarked : "Let's join the President's party." In answer to an inquiry, "What is the mat? ter with Judge Ellett?" Dr. Bryant responded: "He fainted and has not yet recovered consciousness." This was said to dispel the shadow of gloom that might otherwise have been cast upon the fes? tivities had the true condition of the stricken man been made known. The immense multitude who witnessed the incident did not realize that death had come amongst them. They made a rush for the Exposition building, where a reception was being held, leaving to a few friends of the Judge the sad duty of carrying his remains across the street, where they were soon afterwards taken to his home on Shelby street. The President was not informed of Judge Ellett's death until after they had left Memphis. A Millionaire Shot Down, A Chicago telegram of Sunday says: Stephen W. Bawson, president of the the Union Trust and Savings bank of this city, was shot as he emerged from the Third Presbyterian church today by his niep son, William Lee, aged seven? teen. Rawson had been charged by his wife with perjury and other offences, He, on the other hand, alleged that she, although prominent in society and a beautiful woman in appearance, was really an adventuress, who coveted only his money. For a year or more the two have been fighting each other in the divorce courts, and within the past week the banker has filed against her additional charges of a compromising character. For this insult to his mother Lee shot the gray-haired millionaire, his step? father, five times, in a throng of people near the church door, every bullet taking effect. Mr. Bawson's wounds are regard? ed as mortal. The murderer was arrested at his own request. When apprised of the murder Mrs. Bawson said to a reporter, "I am glad of it: he deserved it." "What was it done for?" asked the re? porter. "Because Bawson has made me out on the streets to be a public prostitute. I'll stand by the boy," she cried, raising her arm with a dramatic gesture. "He did no more than any other boy would do. He is the son of his mother." McGowan's Veterans. Some time ago the Abbeville Medium proposed that there should be a reunion of the survivors of McGowan's brigade at Columbia in December next. The suggestion was immediately taken up by the old soldiers of Gregg's regi? ment in Charleston, and an organization was effected. The committee appointed at the meeting in Charleston have issued the following circular letter to the sur? vivors of the old brigade in all parts of the State, and are doing everything within their power to secure the co-oper? ation of the veterans. The committee consists of Col. Wm. Aiken Xelley and Messrs. A. F. O'Brien and H. J. McCormack. The following is the letter which they have sent to the old soldiers: "Acting upon the suggestion of Gen. B. B. Hemphill, through the Abbeville Medium, that the survivors of McGowan's brigade should have a reunion in Colum? bia on December 13, 1887, the survivors residing in Charleston have appointed the undersigned committee to correspond with the survivors in other sections of the State, with a view to accomplish the object proposed. We respectfully request that you will endeavor to have a similar committee appointed in your vicinity to co operate with us to secure the presence of the largest possible num? bers on so interesting an occasion." Suicide in Sumter Jail. SuMTEE, Oct. 12.?The jailer, T. S. Drayton, was aroused last night at five minutes to 12 o'clock by a noise in the jail, and on going to the stairway, one of the prisoners told him that he believed B. D. Reed was trying to kill himself. Drayton told them to "let him alone." Early this morning Reed was found .hanging by his own shirt to the window bars of his cell, his feet touching the floor. Reed was convicted yesterday of aggravated assault on his wife, and was awaiting sentence. He was heard to say that he would die before be would go to the penitentiary. It seems rather singu? lar that an ordinary homespun shirt was strong enough to hang him, as he weighed fully 200 pounds. lie Winged one of Them. El Paso, Texas, October 14.?The Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio mail and express which left here this evening, was stopped four miles out of the city by three masked men. While two covered the engineer and fireman with their revolvers, the third ran back to tbe mail car and threw a bomb against the door. The explosion which followed shattered the door and side of the car into splinters. The agent was dazed and badly frightened by the shock, but unin? jured. He recovered himself, however, to pour a charge of a double-barreled shotgun into the breast of tbe robber, who had jumped into the car, killing him instantly. The two on the engine, hearing the report, fled. The mail agent fired ;ne remaining load after them. The train then returned to El Paso and remained until morning. Saloon Keepers Must Go. St. Louis, Oct. 13.?Several years ago the Masonic Grand Lodge of Missouri enacted a law forbidding lodges to accept as members any person engaged in the saloon business. The law was practically a dead letter until three months ago, when the Grand Master issued a circular calling attention to it and notifying all lodges that the law must be enforced. Several lodges got rid of their saloon keepers, others refused to do so, and two lodges in St. Louis had their charters revoked. The Grand Lodge is in session here now, and members of the fraternity have anxiously awaited their action on the saloon keeper question. To-day the Grand Lodge decided to sustain the action of the Grand Master. The law will be enforced and all saloon keepers must go. _ ? It is stated that a syndicate of New York capitalists will shortly invest $100, 000 in the culture of tobacco in Florida, where the finest grade can be grown without difficulty. From Baptism to Death. Clarksville, Ga., Oct. 14.?Before bis execution yesterday, Edwards was taken from the jail, where he has been confined since his arrest, to a pond built near by for the purpose, and there im? mersed after the profession of his faith, by the Kev. Thomas Scott, colored, of Toccoa, who was his spiritual adviser. It was, to say the least, a novel as well as a solemn scene. There, with a chain around his neck, and one end held by Sheriff Gastley, with four men with double barrel shot guns, two upon either side of the pond guarding the candidate, he was baptised. The minister read a chapter from the Bible, gave out a hymn, which was sung by those present, a feel? ing prayer was delivered, and then the ordinance administered. Edwards look? ed downcast during the various exercises, but displayed no signs of emotion until he came up out of the water, when he exclaimed, glory ! glory to God ! He was then led from the water, and all the col? ored people present shook his hands, after which he was led back to jail to remain until carried to the scaffold. ? Along with the "automatic railway 8;gnal and torpedo placer," the invention of H. 0. King, of Greenville, comes another invention by the same man. Mr. King has just filed a caveat on a design for a cotton seed huller, which he claims is simpler, more easily adjusted and 50 per cent cheaper than any huller now on the market. He has gone to Chattanooga to Bee to the construction of one of the machines. ? Otter Belt, one of the greatest of Comanche chiefs, died in Indian Territo? ry a few dayB ago. Five minutes before his death they held him erect and rigged him out in his best war costume. They ainted him red, set his war bonnet on is head, tied up his hair in beaver skins, and laid him down just as he died. Then his five wives took sharp butcher knives, slashed their faces with long, deep cuts, cut themselves in other places, and beat their bleeding bodies and pulled their hair. They also burned everything they had, tepees, furniture and even most of the clothing they had on. A big crowd of pucks looked on and killed ten horses, including a favorite team of FreBs Addington, on whose ranch Otter Belt lived. ? The Evangelical Alliance of Amer? ica is sending out a call for a conference to be held in Washington December 7, 8 and 9 to discuss the problems of the last years of this century: the liquor ques? tion, the apathy of the popular conscience the alienation of the masses from the church, and the labor troubles, The Alliance is composed of representatives of ten various evangelical denominations and three low-church bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
