Ab such companies are required to list their capital and property for tax a - : tion, the shares of capital stock are exempt -from:taxation. . In the second session of the Fiftieth I Congress President Cleveland sent to the j -Senate nearly 450 nominations, about one-half of which were , confirmed. Of the latter a great majority were promo? tions in the army and navy and presiden? tial. postmasters, theterms of whose pro decessors had expired or whose offices had become presidential. The policy of Republican Senators to confirm no politi? cal nominations was successfully carried put, although there was danger of a failure in the cases of Assistant Secretary .Thompson, to be Civil Service Commis? sioner, of First Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson to be Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Colum? bia; of .William B.

F, W. Dawson Horribly Murdered.. ? Chablestos, S. C., March 12.?The city to-night is in a terrible state of ex? citement over the assassination of Capt. ?iF. W. Dawson, the editor of the News *ahd Courier. ?'.? The murderer is named T. B. McDow, a/young physician who is married and has several children. The evidence in the case isvery, meagre, but it;haB been learned that Captain Dawson-: was mur? dered because of an attempt on his part "to Save the honor of a seavant girl in: his .employ. - The murder, it is said, was committed about3.45p.m., but was not discovered for three hours afterwards when the murderer surrended himself. The body of the murdered man had in the mean i time lain in the office- of the murderer, jiot one hundred yards from hia own ^residence; V; } ^' CaptainJDawBon' left the News and . 'Courier office about 3.30 p. m., and was .neverseen alive again. It appears that he had suspicious that his maid servant who had charge of his. children, was not behaving herself properly, f^iias'fc week he asked the Chief of Police : to detail a detective to shadow the girl/ stating that if she was honorably court? ed he would have nothing to say, but that he did not desire his children to be entrusted to a girl who waB not- strictly ; ;i?nest. v The detective accordingly shad? owed the girl. Oh Monday morning hesaw her get on a Rntledgp Avenue street car where she was soon after joined by Dr. McDow, the murderer. The detective followed the pair for several hours and submitted a report in writing to the Chief of Police* who communicated its contents to Capt. Dawson this morning. As stated above ' Capt. Dawson left his office at 3.30 p. m. to day and was found murdered about6.80 p. m., in the office of Dr. McDow. -His; face was badly beaten and a pistol bullet was found lodged in his heart It is sup? posed that he went to Dr. McDpw's office to remonstrate with him, a married man, a ad the father of several children, against seducing his maid servant, and that Mc? Dow had shot him after the two had been . engaged in a struggle. . After the murder McDowk disappeared untiV about 6.80 p. m., when he appeared ?at the police station and surrendered himself. McDow is said to be the only doctor in the city who is not a member o the State Medical Society and has an ' unsavory reputation. He married some years ago the daughter of O. H. Ahrens, a rich retired grocer, and it is known that the poliqe have been asked to shadow him several times. '- The city is in a terrible state of excite? ment. ? All the evidence adduced thus far shows that the-murder was one of the most diabolical in the annals of crime. Captain Dawson was shot while sitting down. The shot was a fatal one. After ^murdering his victim, it is said, Doctor McDD^left him lying on the floor, lock? ed his ofcre? <j00r an(j weDt out to a cornwgroc^y Bhop. There is evidence tijgfifhe tjae&.to bury the corpse of his ' victim, but tbaHn the mean time suspi? cions had gone out and finally, three hours after he had killed him, he surren? dered himself to the police authorities. The murderer has the reputation of being a rake, and it -is said that he is known in almost every, bawdy house in the city. To-night the city is wrapped in mourn? ing and the murder, is the subject of dis? cussion in every quarter of the town. The body of the murdered man has been taken to his residence and the coroner, after empanelling a jury, has adjourned, the inquest until to morrow. The murderer was hurried to the jail as Boon as he had surrendered himself, and for the present is safe from lynching, as the jail is well nigh impregnable. The entire community is incensed. The City Council just met to-night when the news of the murder was tele? phoned, upon which tue Council at once adjourned.?Dispatch to Greenville News. ? The Washington correspondent of -the New York Tribune, writing on March 8, Bays: "Here is an in teresting incident which concerns the President-elect. He was driving along Pennsylvania avenue yesterday evening, when he saw over a shop a campaign banner which cast some reflection on President Cleveland, while eulogizing himself. He at once asked his son Rossell, who was driving with him, to go to the owner of the Bhop and i arrange to have the offensive banner taken down. Russell made inquiries this morning about the owner of the place, hunted him up and got him to promise to remove the inscription which the General had noticed. 'The campaign is over/ said the President-elect, 'and noth? ing should be said or done now to offend Yormer opponents." CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Chattanooga, March 5.?One hun* dred and fifty men, women and children passed through the city to-night from Georgia and Alabama, bound for Utah, in charge of three Mormon elders. They go to join the~Mormon Church. The party is composed of an ignorant and destitute class of people, who claim they have been promised homes and plenty of work. They are to be followed by another batch of one hundred to morrow night. Lixtle Bock, March 8.?United States Marshal Fanlkenburg arrested in Con way county yesterday Martin Thorpe and William Garner, leaders of the most extensive gang of counterfeiters in the Southwest. Officers have been on the track of them :or months. An immense quantity of bogus money, comprising five, ten and twenty dollar imitation gold ?pieces, was also secured. Over a dozen persons are implicated comprising Borne well-known people. Thorpe and Garner have been bound over. The arrest causes a great sensation. Xenia, Ohio, March 9,?The 3-year old Bon and the 5 year old daughter of Mr. Jacob Smith, who resides northwest of this city, found a copper flask of pow? der, containing about one pound of the explosive. They threw it into the open door of a big wood stove, when it went off, tearing .the doors and windows ont of the room, and badly injuring both children. The little girl's eyes are burn? ed so badly, it is thought, that she will never be able-to Ree if she recovers* Their clothes caught fire, and only the prompt efforts of the mother,, who was in the next room, saved them from burning up. Habbodsbubg, Ky., March 9.?The nuptials of Mr. Stephen Tyler and Miss Mary Jane Bottom were celebrated at Dixville, this county, yesterday after? noon. Last night a large crowd of young men and boys gathered to have a char? ivari, and had brought with them drums, bells, horns, tin'pans, horse-fiddles, fire? arms, and, in fact, every conceivable thing on which a noise could be made. The groom appeared at the door, and when the crowd attempted to scatter a pistol was discharged, the ball entering his shoulder, making a dangerous wound. It is not known who did the shooting. Chablotte, N. 0., March 10.?A very peculiar accident, proving fatal to two negroes, occurred in Gaston County last Friday night. Leander and Bob Sloan, two brothers, had been ' hauling cotton seed for Andy Eanklin and storing it in an old-house. The room had become almost filled by night, when the two brothers lay down by the large pile of cotton seed to sleep. Yesterday morning they did not come out of the house,, and Bankin on going in to inquire the reason discov? ered that the cotton seed had fallen dur? ing the night until their bodieB were completely covered, and they were lying beneath it; having been suffocated while asleep. Birmingham. Ala , March 8.?Near Gate City Junction, a few miles from Birmingham, at 7 o'clock last night, A, W. Busby was sitting by his fireside and his wife and children were in bed. Without a note of warning, a bullet from a Winchester rifle passed through the window and struck him just under the left ear, causing instant death. He had a quarrel yesterday with a sawmill man from Pelham, named Grant, over some lumber debt. Grant subsequently braced up with whiskey and made threats to some companions that he would settle with Busby before 9 o'clock. He is supposed to have been Busby's assassin. Charleston, March 6.?John D. Wrede, a drummer for a commission house in this city, met a terrible death last night. He left his home, about 9 o'clock and was not heard from till abont 9 a. m. to-day, when his body was found stuck in the mud at Hunter's dock, on the Eastern water front. The body was found buried iV the mud, the water being juBt below his arms, which were extended, and myriads of crabs feasting on his face. It is supposed that he fell from the wharf into the dock, and while trying to extricate himself Bank so deep in the mud as to be unable to get out. At this hour (10 p. m.) the tide was low, add at high tide there is not over three feet of water on the, spot where he per? ished. . He must have been slowly drowned by the rising tide. There are residences within 100 yards of the place where the unfortunate man met his terri? ble death, but his cries were unheard. He must have been alive for four hours before the tide reached his mouth and drowned him. The place where the ac? cident occurred is noted aa a death trap, Wrede being the fourth victim who has perished there in the same way. It is a dock far removed from the river and which is filled with pluff mud, yielding almost as quicksand. The mud is bare at ebb tide, and the flood tide covers it only from two to three feet. Charlotte, N. C, March 8.?The most daring case of robbery ever known in Mecklenburg County was committed here last night. This morning it was discovered that John Farrier's_ jewelry establishment, which is located within a stone's throw, not over fifty yards.of the police headquarters and only a few steps from the public square, hau* been raided during the night and robbed of jewelry to the amonnt df five thousand dollars. The robbers climbed on the roof of the store in the glare of the electric light shining from the square, and after open? ing the skylight window they reached the floor by means of ropes. All the very valuable jewelry was locked in a large safe with a combination lock. The robbers, by drilling a hole through the first heavy iron door, shattered the lock and opened it. The second door was of steel and very difficult to open with drills. This difficulty, however, was 'overcome by using powder or dynamite, with which the lock was blown to pieces. In the safe were ninety gold watches, a tray of diamond finger rings and ear? rings in solitaires and clusters, forty-five solid and heavy-plated gold watch chains, etc, the total value being placed at $5,000. This morning the safe was wide open, and under it lay a large sledge hammer and some other heavy iron tools, while the inside was empty. Investigation showed that the robbers went out at the back door. There has been no little ex? citement during the day, but there are absolutely no clues to the robbers. The police knew nothing of the matter until the store was opened this morning. ? The Sum tor Watchman gives this information to its readers: "We have ascertained through coBtly experience, coupled with some investigation, that a diet of cotton seed, in any form, is almost certain death to cows expected to calve within three months." THE CENTRAL LYNCHERS. A Brief Review of the Case?Reaching a 1 Compromise Verdict After Four Honrs of Consultation? Three Men Acquitted and Three Convicted. Greenville News, 8lh inst. The end of the famous Central lynching case was reached at Bickens Wednesday night, resulting in the acquittal of three of the men charged with the lynching of the white man, Manse Waldrop, and the conviction of three others. The case is familiar, having been pub? lished fur and wide at the time of its oc? currence as furnishing the first known in? stance of the iynching of a white man by negroes for a crime for which the same punishment bad come to be meted out as by an nnwritten law in cases where the criminal was a negro and the victim white. Manse Waldrop, a half witted white man, was charged with felonious assault on the thirteen-year-old daughter of Cato Sherman, a negro man living near Central. He was given a prelimi? nary hearing before a Trial Justice at Central and committed for trial. Late in the evening of December 30th, 1887, Waldrop was started to Pickens to be placed in jail in charge of two conBtableB, one of whom was R.. Gaylord Eaton. Within a mile of Central, the officers were halted by a party of negroes and their prisoner taken away and hanged to a tree until he was dead. The lynching created great excitement in the neighborhood and tbronghout the country. Very soon after the inquest over the body of victim, Waldrop, a number of arrests of negroes were made, and one white man, Gaylord Eaton, was taken into custody. The case was called at the spring'ierm of court following tbe lynching at Pickens, but was continued Negroes throughout the State had held meetings and collected funds to help de? fend the Case, and when it came up John M. Freeman, a colored lawyer from Charleston, was at Pick^s in the interest of the colored lynchers. The lynchers were finally brought to trial at the summer term of court last year, and the hearing resulted in a mis? trial. The case then came up for a sec? ond trial last Tuesday afternoon, the six defendants being then arraigned as fol? lows: Gaylord Eaton, white ; William Williams, Cato Sherman, (father of the girl in the case,) Jno. Reese, Harrison Hey ward and Henry Bolton* The five negroes had been injaU since their arrest, fourteen months, but Eaton had been out on bond during;that time. The prosecu? tion, which had been begun in Col. Orr's term as Solicitor, was conducted by So? licitor Ansel. The defendants were re? presented by Colonel R. W. Simpson, of Anderson, Maj. Wm. A. Williams, of this city, and Messrs. Child & Carey, of Pick? ens. The trial was ended Wednesday afternoon, after five hours of speeches. James P. Carey opened for the defence and was followed in order by Messrs Williams, Simpson and Child, Solicitor AubbI closing for the State. The jury, after being charged by Judge Norton, went out with tbe case about six o'clock. For more than four hours they were closeted and fears began to rise of another mistrial. But about 11 o'clock, p. m., they returned with their verdict. They found Gaylord Eaton, white, and Cato Sherman and John Reese, colored, not gnilty, and they found William Wil? liams, Harrison Heyward and Henry Bolton, all colored, "guilty" of the crime of murder, and recommended them to,the morcy of the court. It is said that the verdict was a com? promise, some of the jury favoring the conviction of all the defendants and others advocating the acquittal of all. The trial was watched with the intensest interest by ? large crowd, in which there were numbers of negroes, but there was no excitement over tbe verdict and no violence is expected. An appeal will be taken in the case. The 'recommendation to mercy' in this case, it is explained, does not limit the punishment to life' imprisonment. The Judge would be compelled to sentence the convicted men to be hanged, and the Governor might or might not act upon the recommendation by computing the sen? tences to life imprisonment. ? The latest estimate places the Uni? ted States Senate at a valuation of $139, 000,000. According to this calculation there will be, including Vice-President Morton, nineteen millionaires in the American house of Lords. Only fourteen ? A New York jeweler Bays that sometimes when a gold necklace turns black when it is worn a lady jumps to the conclusion that it is not genuine. Its turning black is no test. If a lady has too much sulphur, iron, salt, mercury or other acid in her blood gold will be dis? colored when it comes in contact with .her skin. The trouble is in the girl and not the gold. The Need of South Carolina Presbytery; An Evangelist is the need. Is that need felt. This question will be answered at the approaching meeting at Edgefield on the 12 th of April. Before an Evangelist can be put in the field a salary is needed. Will that need be met ? This question, we hope, will be answered affirmatively at the meet ing referred to above. The evangelist field in South Carolina Presbytery has not been occupied by a regular evangelist for several years. The way has been effectually blocked by the want of the material support of an evangel list. The salary question has been the principal difficulty, and when that ques? tion is fully met the man f/'M be found and tho work begun. The territory is large, embracing seven counties and covering an area of 4,500 square miles. In this immense field there are only fifty-one Presbyterian churches ?about one church to every ninety square miles. In one county there is not a Pres? byterian church, in a second only one, and in a third only three?thus giving ns more than a thousand square miles in three counties alone, an occupied with Presbyte rianism. New railroads are being built through sections of this evangelistic field and new towns are springing up, and communities hitherto remote are made easily accessible, and here and there can - be found a nucleus of a church. But who can look after and develop Buch points into a church but an evangelist, whose duty will be to go from place to place preaching the Gospel by the authority and under the control of the court appointing him? Now, can this need of South Carolina Presbytery be met? To meet it I am not authorized to say how much money would have to be raised?not more perhaps than a thousand dollars. To say that fifteen pastors, with fiity-one churches and over three thousand communicants can't raise that amount is to utter what no one will accept as true. It would cost each member 33} cents annually, and that is less per month than the cost of an old fashion pos? tage stamp. But some, perhaps many, are not able to give anything for this work. Probably 1 there are sons of the Presbyterian church within the bounds of South Carolina Pres? bytery whom God has blessed with much of the good things of this life who would ?readily and cheerfully pledge themselves to pay each one-tenth or one-twentieth of the needed sum. Surely out of these three thousand mem? bers there can be found one hundred per? sons who will contribute on an average ten dollars annually to the support of an evangelist. Certainly there are many who will gladly aid what they can in this work, if tho opportunity is offered them. The Executive Committee projected a plan for raising the money which seems feasible, and which received the endorse? ment of the Presbytery at its last meeting. Each minister is asked to canvass his con? gregation and solicit, from such persons as he thinks likely to give, individual sub? scription to the salary of the evangelist, to be paid annually as long as he is in the field. These are personal gifts and not to effect the different causes embraced in the Assembly's scheme. We have been asked by the executive committee to call the attention of pastors to this mi .tter,?and to urge them to make an effort to be ready to report at the next meeting of tha Presbytery. The time is short. What Is done must be done soon. W. T. Matthews, Chairman of Committee. Tho New Discovery. You have heard your friends and neigh? bors talking about it.
