Delegates of the colored people of South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Ten? nessee, Kentucky, Florida and Missouri, gathered "at Indianapolis, Ind., a fe w days ago and adopted an address?which they afterward presented to -Gem Harrison?

'?: Drowned in Sight of Help. On Sunday last Rev. James Gibson, a colored Baptist minister, was drowned in Sugar Creek, at Barber's Bridge, two miles Southeast of Fort Mill. He crossed the bridge from the York Bide about 8 o'clock that morning, the creek , being : very high and out of its banks in places. -After clearing the:bridge and getting on the Lancaster Bide, he found that a low place in the road was submerged by a sluice that ran from the creek. Thinking it was not very deep he attempted to cross by wading. He^ however, suddenly got into very deep water, and not being able to swim, waa borne down by the current | until" he clutched some overhanging limbs, to which-he clung with despera? tion. He shouted for ^help, and several persons gathered on the bank, among the number being one white man, but the water was deep and the stream apparent? ly dangerous, and no one would consent to go to the man and relieve him from his perilous position; Several went out into the stream, but would not ven? ture closer than about twenty feet. The poor man plead for his life, hut there was not one present with humanity enough to be moved by his prayers. All during the day he clung to the branches of the trees in full view.of the neighbors who gather? ed on the bank, but about 4 o'clock in the afternoon strength failed him. En? tirely exhausted and nearly, stiffened with cold, he. was compelled to relinguish his hold of the bushes, when the unfortunate j man sank into the. water and aa the waves rolled dyer him they hushed a voice that went down still pleading for help and mercy. At last accounts the body had not been recovered.?Rock Hill Herald. I Judge Aldrich Not Wanted. When Judge Aldrich last presided .in bonder, his conduct gave great offense-* to the peokjJein more ways than one. What that conMiMtwas, it is needless to explain here. Thecfty^^ifoil of people, and they will remember "^*"?**?*reat was the dissatisfaction that the WaaBtonan and Southron was called upon to Vippresa communications strongly censurinfeg jjis Honor.- This was not a transientjjgeling, for at the next term of court th^g^j,^ jury proposed to Incorporateiifiitg pre. sehtment the grounds of Qfomplaint and recommend a remedy. T?j8 came to the earn of Judge Presslej^then presiding, and he, after yainlyjgndeavoring, by the use "of authority/and persuasion, to prevail upon thgf grand jury to forego their intentions, finally declared that to his certai^r*knowledge the resignation/ of j Judge Aadrich had been written and was in. the, 'nands of proper parties; and that therefore the proposed presentment could affect nothing. Upon hearing this, the grand jury very gladly said nothing. Of | this resignation, if it ever existed, and the character of Judge Pressley precludes the idea that it never did, nothing has since been heard. Under these circum stances it is necessary for us to say, it will be better for Judge Aldrich,' for the people, for all concerned, that be shall not again preside in Samter? Surntcr Watchman and Southron. Court House Burned. Kingstree, S. O., Feb. 22.?About 11 o'clock this morning it was discovered that the Court House was on fire in the npper story. Nothing could be done to save the building, and there was a lively time securing the records, furniture, &c., from the lower part, in which all the county offices are located. . The building is still burning. The fire was accidental. Various hypotheses are put forth as to the cause, the most probable being that the earthquake had cracked one of the chim? neys through the roof. There was no insurance on the building and the loss to the county is about $10,000.-^ and Courier: . . ' . ? Three attempts were made by incen? diaries to burn the town of Granitevi le, S. .0.. one day last week. While the 'tfbwd was fighting the flames in one place fire was discovered in another part of-town and still another part later. ffotaSIosB is about $13,000. Efforts are Nngihade t? capture the incendiaries. CRIMES AED CASUALTIES. Hogansyille, Ga., Feb. 23.?News has. just reached here of the suicide of a twelvo-year-old negro boy at Franklin. It took three trees for him to complete the job. He huug hie- coat on one, his hat on another, and himself on the third one. He was sent out to find a cow, and was told iie would get a whipping if he did not find it. Failing to find the cow. he p?t an end to his earthly troubles by breaking his neck. It occurred near that romantic spot, Lovers' Leap. Norfolk, Va., Feb.*20.?A highly sensational murder occurred on the cor? ner of Queen and Church streets to night in the presence of a-crowd of people. A young colored man named Thomas Gray was furiously and savagely attacked by a young mulatto girl named Nellie White and cut with a razor so severely that the man died in less than an hour. It seems that Gray had abandoned Nellie for another sweetheart, with whom he was taking a walk when Nellie assaulted him. She was locked up. Bridgeport, Cohn., Feb. 20.?Miss Mary Green, living on State street, partly swallowed a portion of her false teeth yesterday during luncheon. The plate became fractured while masticating the leg of a partridge, and the gold fragments, : with two of her teeth/ lodged in her throat. Dr. Downs was summoned. He, with other medical assistance, were una? ble to extricate the obstacles; and, conse? quently, to prevent the patient from strangling to death, forced the teeth down. This morning Miss Green is suf? fering intense internal pain, and the physicians will attempt to remove the teeth by performing enterotomy. New York, Feb. 21.?About 7 o'clock George Smith, foreman of a gang or workmen engaged in digging cellars for a flat house on Seventy-six street, entered a tool house in which one hundred and i fifty pounds of dynamite were stored. In some unknown way his entrance caused the dynamite to explode. A terrific report followed, and fragments of the man's body could be seen flying through the air, and portions of his c'othing alighting on neighboring trees. He had been literally torn to atoms, portions of the flesh and. bone being picked up a hundred feet' away. Windows within a radiuB of a quarter of a mile were shatter? ed by concussion. There were two large holes where the house stood. Macon, Ga., Feb. 21.?The amount of, John Adams's forgeries. now foots up over $75,000, He nas not slept a wihk or ate a mouthful of food since his ar? rest, but continually paces up and down his cell. The physicians say that by to? morrow he will either break down or take, food. He does not know how much fictitious paper he has. set afloat. The phase of his rascality which involves most suffering is the embezzlement of hundreds, perhaps thousand of bales of cotton belonging to farmers in a dozen Counties, who, having confidence in~ Adams, left with him on storage ten to fifty bales each of cotton. These people are now finding that there is neither cotton nor credit on the books for them. Cleveland, 0., Feb. 23.?Miss Hattie B. Stevenson, a pretty and highly con* nected young lady of Wellsville, Ohio, was arraigned in the United States court here Monday afternoon and pleaded guilty to two charges of embezzlement. The fair prisoner was stamp clerk in the Wellsville postoffice-, and had been steal? ing letters.until the peculations amount? ed to $500. Inspector Sampson saw her hide a decoy letter and the arrest fol? lowed. Her aged and wealthy father came to Cleveland with her, and during the arraignment in court sobbed piteously. Judge Welker suspended sentence until he could talk with Wellsville people and find out some reason for the girl's thefts. Miss Stevenson was very cool in court. . White Earth, Minn., Feb. 21.?News from a creditable source has reached here that a few days ago, in the sparsely set? tled country around Aikeh, two white children, returning to their, homes from school late in the afternoon, were attack? ed and completely devoured by wolves, a few scattered bones and shreds of clothing being all remaining in horrible testimony of the children's fate. It was supposed at first that there were no more, than two wolves at most in the pack, hut an Indian hunter, shortly after the disappearance of the children, encountered a pack of ten of the fierce brutes near the scene of the tragedy.' Housed his Winchester rifle with such effect as to kill eight outright, and getting out of cartridges he went up a tree to escape from the fangs of the remaining two. These two men eaters squatted down at the foot of the tree . awaiting,the moment that the Indian would become their prey. When he thought his fate sealed he luckily found two cartridges in the depths of his pockets. With these he settled the last two ani? mals. Delano, Gal., February 23.?As train No. 17 left Pixley last evening five men boarded it. Two went on the engine and covered the engineer and fireman with I revolvers. When about two miles from the station the train was brought to a Btop and the other three men entered the express car and ordered the messenger to I open the box, covering him with their revolvers. Dynamite bombs were ex? ploded under the car, and during the excitement several passengers ran toward the front. Two of them were shot. E. S.. Bently of ModeBto was probably fatally wounded, and Charles Gabert of Paso was instantly killed. The train ran back to Pixley, where news was left. The passenger coaches were not molested. Another account states that but two men were concerned in the robbery, and that while one remained on the engine the other made his way to the express car, and by exploding bombs under the car so frightened the messengers that they speedily] opened- the' doors. Bentley, who was probably fatally .wounded, is a deputy constable here. The amount secured by the robbers is unknown. A posse will pursue them from here. Birmingham, Ala., February 22.? John M. Greene, a counterfeiter, who has been successfully operating in Shelby county, for several months, was captured yesterday by Deputy United States Mar? shal H. B. Milan, and placed in jail in this city to day. Greene was captured at his home in Shelby county, after a des? perate struggle. He fired on the officer with a shotgun at close range, the load tearing away one side of the marshal's overcoat, and wounding him slightly in the arm. Twenty counterfeit silver dollars were found on the prisoner. When placed behind the bars to day Greene weakened, and made a full con? fession, giving the names of the five mem? bers of the band of which he was the head. He also told where their dies could be found, and a party of officers leave to night to secure the outfit and the accomplices of Greene. The gang has been operating in Shelby county about six months and have passed about $4,000 of thsir spurious coin. They are making a splendid imitation of a silver dollar, and had recently commenced the manu? facture of smaller coin. Greene is only twenty-five years old, but has been mak? ing counterfeit money about five years, One Woman Married to Another. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 18.?The little village of Olermont Mills is excited over the reported marriage by a Catholic Sr'est of Catherine Beall, a young girl, to lies Hannah Colder, the daughter of an ex-County Commissioner. The singular ceremony is said to have been performed in September by the Bev. J. Alfons Frederick, pastor of St. Mary's Church of Clermont Mills. The license was obtain? ed in Baltimore last May by Father Frederick, but nothing was known of the marriage until a few days ago. On Tuesday of last week both girls, who had been living at home, disappeared. Miss Beall's father made inquiries and then discovered the startling relationship that existed between her and Miss Colder. Yesterday he came to Baltimore and placed the matter into the bands of Mar? shal of Police Frey. Miss Beall is pretty and vivacions, and her motive in consent? ing to such ceremony is a mystery. Miss Colder, it is said, wore an ulster on the evening the marriage was performed, and Father Frederick took her to be a man. She is 35 years of age, slim, and weara her , hair short. . j , A Shocking Scft?ilal. ? Augusta, Ga., Feb. 20.?Last Friday night a young couple arrived at the Au? gusta Hotel and registered -as "Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Thomas, foreman Western Union Telegraph Company.", Mr. Thomas had been employed by the Tele? graph Company to build a line on the Three C's Road, and he came to Augusta to make a settlement with Superintendent Brenner. Mr. Thomas remained with his wife at the hotel until yesterday, when he was visited by Proprietor Doolittle with a request for his board. He then took bis wife to a private hoarding house and told her to remain there until Friday, tb 5 he wag going off for a few days. Last night, after Thomas left the boarding bouse, his wife sent for a gentleman whom she knew at Black's, S. C, her former home. The gentleman visited the lady, and she informed him of the suspicious acts of her husband, whom she had run away with and married last Sunday a week ago. at Grover, N. C, the Rev. T. M. Mullinax performing the ceremony. The kind-hearted gentleman then informed the lady of the character of the boarding house she was in, and had her removed back to the hotel. In 'the meantime i t was found out that Thomas had another .wife and one or two children living at Goldsboro, N. C. The unfortunate young girl is Miss Sallie Tolbert, and is of good family at Black's, S. C. She is quite pretty and feels mortified at her marriage to such a man, and she returned home this afternoon, having been enabled to do ao through the courtesy of two Augus? ta gentlemen. Thomas is supposed to have left AuguBta this morning to join a circus. He is an ordinary looking man, and while here pawned his annual pass over the Three C's Boad to a barkeeper for one dollar's worth of drinks. Efforts are being made to have him arrested, and if caught he will be prosecuted for bigamy. A Woman Horrible Death. A white woman named Linda Williams was burned to death on the * place of James Langley, in Saluda Township, last Thursday. The unfortunate woman's death, which was a peculiarly horrible one; was the result of her own careless? ness. Thursday afternoon the woman was out in an old field on the place burn? ing brush for a clearing. In one place the fire had caught the dry gras? ana was spreading. Hastily the woman attempted to put out the little blaze by stamping on it with her feet. Instead of the blaze being extinguished it caught her dress, and in a few moments her garments were enveloping sheets of flame. Before help could reach her the wretched woman was burned so severely that she died.' Linda Williams was a widow of about 56 years. She was well known throughout the^et tlement where she lived as an industrious and hard working woman. Two children survive her.?Greenville News, The Great Corn Contest. ' It would appear that South Carolina farmers are fully alive to the importance to adding to the agricultural laurels of the State, the winning of the prize offered by the American Agriculturist for the largest yield of corn on one acre of ground. Already the State Department of Agri? culture has been notified of an intention to enter the competition by farmers in the Counties of Anderson, Spartanburg, Sumter, Charleston, Pickens, Newberry and Marlboro. As yet no competitor in Bichlacd has annonnced himself to the Department, though several, it is under j stoodj have expressed an intention of competing.

We were beginning to feel that the earth's shakings had ceased, but were reminded on Tuesday morning before daylight that such was not the case. Two distinct shocks were felt, and though not as heavy as many we have had, they were sufficiently strong to rattle doors and windows, and in some instances to awake sleepers.

The Governor has offered a reward of $100 for the apprehension of, one W. C. Wooten, who on the 20th of August, 1888, killed Henry Dye at Lancaster, by strik? ing him with a spike hammer. The Gov? ernor has also offered a reward of $50 for the arrest of the unknown parties who robbed and set fire to the house of Edmond and -Mintie Kussel 1, a poor colored couple of Aiken County, on the 29th of December last. ? A novel and rather bold theft was committed on the place of Sam Wiiliman, about three miles from this city, last Friday night. Mr. Wiiliman had a large stack of fodder and hay by the roadside near his house. Some time Friday night a two-horse wagon was driven up along? side the stack; the fodder and hay were loaded on to the wagon and the wagon was driven off. The next morning Mr. Wiiliman found his supply of "rough? ness" had been silently stolen away, and no trace of the bold thieves remaining. A trail was struck down the Augusta I road Saturday afternoon, where a - band of gypsiea were reported to have been seen with a load of fodder and. hay, but the scent proved to be a falsehood.?Greenville News, NOTICE.
