Hampton, S. 0., Sept 18.?Last Sun? day morning, at 10 o'clock, Jerry W. Tuten, residing in the Horse Gail section of Hampton county, commitred suicide by shooting himself in the head with a pistol, the ball passing entirely through -his head, causing instant death. He left ja note, written on the marginof an old newspaper, stating that "trouble' caused me to do this.'' Temporary aberration of mind, caused by nervous depression, no doubt, prompted tbe deed. He was a I well-to-do farmer of rather convivial I habits. I CoyiNQTON, Ga., Sept. 20.?An un fortunate accident occurred here to-day. under the following circumstances: An; I empty whisky barrel had been left near ["Fowler's mill,, where7 it was exposed to the sun, and had thereby become greatly heated. Mr. Robert Fowler inserted a glight.ed match-in the spiggot hole of the J barrel, and there was an instantaneous [explosion'"of the barrel, which blew it into fragments and seriously wounded I Wille Harp; a little boy, who was in close proximity to tbe barrel.

Baltimore, Md., Sept. 23.r-Samuel j Thomas, colored, aged 15 _ years, was playing with some companions in the packing room at the McMurry factory, at. Frederick, yesterday.. Tom Ross, color? ed and several others suggested that they hang Thomas. A thin cord waa procured land fastened about tbe boy's neck. Be r fore the workmen in the room realized what was being done the loose end of tbe rope was thrown around tbe shafting. The; rope caught in the revolving shaft j and was rapidly wound up, carrying the ?struggling and. frightened boy with it. He touched tbe shaft and was swung around it twice, when the cord broke and he fell to the floor. He was removed to I his home, and late in the afternoon was .attacked with hemorrhages. This after? noon he. died. No arrests have been made. Philadelphia, Sept. 22.?Hugh j Brown, a bricklayer, while mending a [ 'chimney on the roof of 505 Chestnut ; street, was hurled to death". thus: He was working on a rode scaffolding, five stories high when Charles H. Martin, a colored driver, employed by Contractor Samuel Hart, passed up the alley with a cartload of bricks. The alley is very harrow, and the rope attached to the I ,block and fall, which was made fast to the scaffolding,.dangled into the street. The end of the rope caught into the hub of one of the cart wheels and wound itself about the axle tree. - As the rope tightened it tugged at the scaffolding, . and Brown gazing down on the driver -I yelled for him to Btop. It was too late, for the strain on the scaffolding was so [ great that it broke, precipitating Brown from the dizzy height above to the street. ; j His skull was crqshed and broken, while his brains lay in a small spot for a dis? tance of several feet. Savannah, Sept. 20.?A horrible story was brought to the city to-day from [ Oasabaw Island. Three days ago half a [ dozen negro boys were swimming in I Back Bead . creek. March Johnson,. 18 I years old, swam out beyond the others I and was treading water, when suddenly I he gave a shriek, threw up hL arms ana disappeared. There was a commotion in I the water, and the other .boys hurried ashore. A' few minutes afterwards a I 'gator's nose was seen sticking up above the water. Johnson's parents did hot accept the.'gator story. They thought [ that the boy had the cramp and drowned. I They got some of his neighbors to drag [ the creek. Several hours were spent in [ searching for the body, but it could not be fouud. Yesterday the boys found a [ suspicious looking spot on the bank I making but in the creek. The sand had [ been freshly disturbed, but tbe spot was too large for a turtle's nest They began [ digging in the loose sand and were hor? rified at uncovering a human body. [ When all the sand had been removed the [ trunk of the missing boy was seen; the legs and arms were gone, and the body was horribly mangled. It is the gator's habit to bury its food, and it is supposed the negro boy was the saurin's victim. . Spokane Falls, W. T., September 19.?Incendiary fires Sunday and early yesterday morning have created intense excitement and a vigilance committee [ was formed last evening and $100 reward offered for the capture of any guilty per [ son. All disreputable characters were .warned to leave town under pain of hanging. On Sunday two fires were started in buildings where no stoves were I used. Early Monday morning a big lodgiogbouse was fired, and persons escaped with great difficulty. Ooe man was evidently burned to death, as no trace of him could be found. Soon after? wards four other fires were started in. different parts of the town. Incendiary fires yesterday were serious. The.con? flagration in Pierce's clothing bouse was well under way when discovered, but bard work saved much of tbe stock. Before tbe. firemen bad left the building ' another alarm was rung in, the fire being this tiros in a cottage hotel on Main street. Here also tbe fire was well under way when discovered, and the boarders bad barely time to escape with their lives. Tbe fire spread to tbe Nevada house, and to the livery stable, both of which were destroyed. Last night tbe streets were patroled by armed men. The saloons and gambling houses have been closed, and no one except guards are slowed on the streets after 10 o'clock. The loss by yesterday's fire was $150,000. ? The Boston Herald has discovered that of the candidates for President this year Cleveland is the biggest, Harrison tbe shortest, Fisk the haudsomest/Street er the wealthiest and Belva Lockwood the sweetest. ? The Rev. Myson Reed, of Colorado, who ran as the Democratic Congressional candidate in that State two years ago was once interrupted in the midst of a public prayer by a man who shouted, "louder 1" Reed stopped short, looked at the inter? rupter, and said coolly: 'I wasn't ad? dressing you, Bir, I was addressing the Almighty.' Then he went on with his prayer. i COVERING THE COTTON. Progressing to a Solution of the Problem. From the Chrleslon News and Courier. Interest in the cotton bagging question has by no means abated. It is true that only jute baled cotton is being received here, but the factors as well as the plan? ters, are watching with interest the progress of the various experiments that are being made to circumvent tbe Jute Bagging Trust. As has been stated, tbe sample of osnaburgs sent here from New Orleans attracts a good deal of attention, but in order to make a perfect test a bale of cotton should be covered with it. The following account of a test recently made in New Orleans will be read with interest: The employees of the pickery went to work and stripped the bales and put the loose cotton up in bales, as is the custom on tbe plantations, covering each bale with the new fabric, after which the hands got to work on them with hooks and moved tbem over to the scales. Some one suggested that the best test with a cotton hook was to handle the cotton uncompressed, because the bale is loose and more apt to give. Themen hauled the cotton with their hooks, and the covering did not tear. Each of the three bales were weighed, fiat and side ways, and the bales were lifted and low? ered with a terrible jerk, which had no effect on the covering, not a tear- or rip being visible. Cotton weighers and scale hands declared that jute covering could not stand this test. Three bales were then taken to the compress, were jerked from the dray by two powerful colored men, veteran knights of the cotton hook. Tbe bales were of the ordinary size, one of them weighing 553 j pounds and measuring 5 feet 8 inches in length by 2 feet 2 inches - in thickness and 3 feet 5 inches in height These were the figures at this stage of the proceedings when they were ready tor the compress. The cotton rollers here took a few pulls at the bales,'jerking and tossing them around, but withal, - they Stood these tests, the cotton rollers said, better-than jute bagging* does. The cotton soon reached the press, which, was carrying between 120 and 125 pounds of steam pressure, which gave a compress? ing power of 900 tons. This is the average pressure carried by the press, being sufficient for all purposes. > The bales were pressed and hooped and rolled out The-bagging was closely examined and-found perfect, each bale presenting a pretty appearance. Mr. McGrath suggested^ that it was .easy to sample, and he cut s bale. The committee here went to work on the bale. Messrs. Hazzard, Levy and Dobbins tested its strength with a .hook, and Messrs. Haz? zard and Levy remarked, that it was "hard to tear/' Mr. Dobbins went fur? ther and pronounced this covering "im? possible to tear." A bale of cotton covered with two pound jute bagging was compared to the cotton cloth as regards strength of tbe fabric, and the new article was found superior to the jute. Both bales were given a test at tearing, and the jute gave a larger opening than the cotton cloth. Mr. Morris Bay hi, weigher, and two strong scale hands put the bales through the weighing process, and the cotton covered bale stood the test of the hand and scale hooks superior to jute bag? ging.* Mr. Bayhi, who has been a cotton weigher for the last twenty-five years, stated that he had subjected tbe three bales to as severe a test as possible, and that the cotton bagging did not give as much as jute. It is something unusual to "trip" a bale of cotton?changing its " position, handling it with hooks?and it stood that test better than jute. The bales were laid fiat and a number of buckets of water thrown on them. The water rolled off. A bale covered with heavy jute was put through a similar or? deal and the water remained on tbe bale. Mr. Odenheimer here remarked that cotton was an oily substance and did not take water as easily as jute, and this was proven to the satisfaction of the wit? nesses. v ' The committee again went to work on the bale, trying to tear it. They did the same with a jute covered bale, and in every instance the cotton cloth proved to be superior, and they were satisfied with the test Mr. Odenheimer informed Mr. Levy that the goods was from 38 to 40 inches in width, weighed 13 ounces or f of a pound to the yard, and it takes 8 yards ? to cover a bale of cotton thoroughly. The cost is 12} cents per yard, and Mr. Odenheimer said that if he had the prop? er machinery he could make it for 10 cents, and that 10 cents could be obtained for it, second-hand after use. Second? hand jute bagging is worth 3 cents per yard. -.V - When the two bales which had been used in the experiment reached the Cot? ton Exchange theyiwere surrounded by as many persons as could crowd about them. Factors as well as others examined them, and the universal opinion expressed was that .an article had been discovered which would . burst tbe Bagging Trust. One factor, who was instrumental in brea og up the Cotton Press Association, said that the cotton cloth would break up the trust, and that in the near future jute bagging will be a thing of tbe past? "dead?killed by the trust." In tbe same paper Messrs. M. Levy & Sons, cotton factors of New Orleans, pub? lish a card in which they say: "While we have every reason to believe that two pound jute bagging will be sold next season at about 8 cents per yard, still cotton bagging, which can be easily manufactured ? at 10 cents with proper machinery, will be cheaper to the Ameri? can people, and it is desirable for them to use it, provided it meets tbe approval of tbe various Cotton Exchanges. We base this assertion upon the following figures: ' Jute Bagging? 7 yards jute bagging at 8c.56 Worth second hand about.?.21 Actual cost of jute covering..' 35 Cotton Bagging? 8 yards cotton bagging at 10c.80 Worth.second hand about.48 Actual cojt of cotton bagging. 32 "To sa; nothing of better protection from water, dirt, and fire, and the creation of a new and more lucrative market for our low grades of cotton. If, after thorough' investigation, the various Cotton Exchanges will recommend a cotton covering, and the reduction of tare be allowed in favor of cotton covering, we shall then endeavor to organize a large cotton bagging factory, and make the shares sufficiently small so tbatany planter can take stock 'and participate in tbe profits." Another test was made at the Cotton Exchange here yesterday of tbe pine straw bagging sent from Wilmington, with results that were considerably more favorable than those attained at the first trial several days a go and published in the News and Courier at the time. Tbe first experiment, it will be remem? bered, was made with a square foot of pine straw and a square foot of jute lagging. The first held the fire and the last threw it off. On that occasion a piece of jute bagging was cut from a bale of cotton lying on tbe wharf. It was perfectly new bagging. Yesterday several of the members of the Exchange repeated the test, taking a piece of the pine straw fibre .and a piece of jute, cut haphazard from one of the bales on tbe wharf. Fire was applied to both pieces and they were placed on tbe counter and watched. Both pieces retained the fire for some time. Tbe conclusion was reached that so far as the inflammability of the two materials was concerned tbe difference, if any, was too infinitessimal to take into consideration. But, as has been said, there can be no fair test except Buch as was tried in New I Orleans with the osnaburg, and an ac ' count of which is given above. This test will be made to day, at least so far as the cotton compress and cotton hook are concerned. The roll of pine straw bag? ging will be taken to tbe Hydraulic Press, on Church street, and a bale of cotton will be covered with it and then "handled." This will show whether the new covering will stand the compress and the hooks, and after that the underwri? ters will be asked to apply the fire test. The factors and buyers of Charleston are anxious to aid the farmers in their just fight against the jute bag combine, and should the pine straw fibre stand the test will do their share in recommending it to the powers that have the regulation or cotton baling in their keeping. Charleston, S. C, September 21.? An important trial was made to-day which promises untold benefits to the en? tire south. Two bales of cotton were covered with pine straw bagging, at present manufac? tured near Wilmington, N. C. They were put through the compress where they were subjected to a pressure of 1,000 tons and then given to a gang of long? shoremen, who used their hooks freely, passing the bales about for fifteen or twenty minutes. The bagging stood the test. Water was next poured over the bags and was shed as freely as by the jute bagging. Fire was applied to both jute and pine straw bags and there was no difference in the result. Tests were also made, as to the Btaining of cotton with equally satisfactory results. At the close of the experiment, which was witnessed by many members of the exchange, it was the unanimous opinion that the right substitute had been found for jute. The two bales were sent to New York to night and will be exhibited at the New York cotton exchange. The new fibre is made from the leaves of the pine, which is the prevailing forest wood all over the south. Excess of the Tension Expenditure. Columbia, S.

As has been already stated in this correspondence the remnant of the $50, 000 appropriated at the last session to carry out the Pension Act only permits the payment in part of the September pensions. Each pensioner will this month receive a payment of $3 instead of $5, and no payments can be made for the remaining months of the year unless the Legislature makes a new appropriation, If the number of pensioners remains as at present the annual appropriation for pensions will be $122.280, bat it is more likely that the list will be enlarged than abbreviated.^Correspondence of News and Courier. ? An eight-year old Italian girl, una? ble to ppeak English, arrived alone in Lincoln, Neb., the other day after a safe journey from Venice. She was the daughter of a boatman, who died, leaving her .without, money or relatives there. Neighbors raffled off the family furniture and household effects, bought a ticket for Lincoln with the proceeds and money collected for the purpose, put up a three weeks' luncheon, fastened a big card upon the girl giving her name and des? tination, and started her for her uncle, wbo is superintendent of a division of railroad track on the Burlington Road. She made the trip all right, being kindly cared for wherever she journeyed. . ? The Astor library contains among its historic relics a copy of a letter of Columbus, of which only six are known to be in existence.' One of these copies sold for $700 at an auction sale in Lon? don in 1872. This letter was written by Columbus at Lisbon, and is addressed to Raphael Sancbis, treasurer to the King of Spain. A Latin version of the letter was printed in Rome. ? Th'e letter is de? scriptive of his travels and discoveries. It was presented to the' library by Mr. W. W. Astor. PROOF BETTER THAN ASSERTION. . With such proof as the following letter from W, H. Dean, of No. 278 Seventh street, New York, it is not necessary to make the bare assertion that Allock's Po? rous Plaste* s cure lumbago. Mr. Dean says: . Some ten days ago;I was taken with a very violent pam in the small of my back. It was so severe that I could hardly breathe; every movement caused great agony. I finally found out it was lumbago. Being entirely helpless,-a friend sent to a druggist and got two of Allock's Porous Plasters ; these were well warmed and ap flied to my back, one above the other, n half an hour, to ray great delight and surprise. I found the pain began to abate. In two hours I was able to walk out and attend to. my business,' the pain being almost gone. Next day I was all right but continued wearing tho plasters for a week.

Tbe crop prospect was very promising while we were in tbe market and we overloaded; but if there is a particle of truth in the old saying, "Goods well bought are half sold," ours are as good as Beven-eighths gone already. ?aT Don't be tempted by any so-called bargains until you have seen our Goods and heard our prices. Our plan is not to sell one or two articles away under value as leaders, and then make up the loss on something else, but to give the full worth of your money every time, whether you are posted or not. We have an eye to the future more than to the present, and propose to merit the con? tinued confidence and patronage of the people. Very respectfully, K. S. HILL, Anderson, S. C.
