TERMS: ONE YEAR......_|I 50 SIX MONTHS... 75 The most remarkable thing abont Mor > ton, tbe new Secretary of Agriculture, is ? that bo knows something abont farming. I ' Ha baa been a farmer all his life, and last year he raised on his Nebraska farm, 1,576 bushels of corn on a 20-acre lot. ?f: . President Cleveland has appointed Col., ' T, Stobo Farrow, of Spartan burg, oecond auditor of the treasury. Col. Farrow held a similar position in tbe treasury department nnder Mr. Cleveland's first administration, and was a very popular ^official._ - Henderson Smith, of Qoinoy, Illinois, ; W2bs said to bo one hundred and nineteen Saga? old when be died the other day. ?i Of course, he had been in the employ of Giorge Washington, and, equally, of coarse, had used tobacco ever since boy? hood's happy days. The Charlotte Observer says tbat a let? ter in the Charlotte poatofflee addressed to "Hon. Qrover Cleveland, Washington, ||xfec.,' care of Hoko Smith, Secretaiy of ^U^q Interior," is held for postage. It was ?. dropped in the office March 8th, minus a stamp. Cleveland has been notified. A board of health official in Washing ten declares that there is no danger of cholera in this country this summer, and ?"that it ia at an end in all of Europe, ex? cept Russia. He says tbat tbe sanitary ^precautions ei home and abroad hive made an epidemic quite improbable. General Stephen d. Lee, commanding the Mississippi department, has issued rm order inviting all Confederate veterans ". to be present in Vicksburg on the 26th of April and participate in the ceremonies ^of unveiling the Confederate monument erected in that city "by its patriotic wo? men and chivaJrio men." -Geu?E. Klrly Smith, the last of the ?Confederate Generals, died at his home, Sewonee, Tenn., on the 28th of March. ?He died as be lived, bright, strong and ooafident in his Christian faith and hope. ; It is reported that his last utterance was: **Tbough I walk through tbe valley of ?the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me." ?'? The business portion of the town ol Florence, S. ft, was destroyed by fire ? last Monday morning. Tbe flames start ?i during the night and burned until after 9 o'clock a. m. The Central hotel, city ball and at least fourten business houses were destroyed. The loss ia esti? mated at more than $150,000, with only partial Insurance. It is believed to be *he work of an incendiary. With the last issue ot the Abbeville Jft-cjvs and Banner, Editor Wilson com? pleted the thirty-fourth year of his con? nection with the paper. He entered tbe offico before he had attained his majority, ? and has gradually worked himself up to the editorship of one of the best country papers, in the State. Wo congratulate - Edit jr Wilson, and wish him many more years of success and prosperity. ? m ? ?? % The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says President Cleve~ iand has announced that in States where tbero happen to be two factions ia the Democratic party, or where the delega? tion ia divided, be will recognize neither ifoutioa to the exclusion of the other. He, will, in such cases, consider the names ! presented for the offices and select the applicant he believes to be tbe best fitted. 'This rule will be applied in tbe South Carolina cases. The President has set all bis Cabinet ministers at work weeding out useless ?employees in their several Departments. Mr. Cleveland believes that there area large number of people who are feeding at toe government trough whose services ctfSht just as well be dispensed with, and iiu proposes to go, in and deaden .some timber. A geaeral overhauling' and house cleaning will occur Jost at soon as too pressure of tbe office seekers is off. A lready Secretary Carlisle has cut off a Jut of salaries of this character and Ster? ling Morton has put in his reform work to Uta tune $125,000. The endeavor to secure the opening of ths World's Fair on Sunday will be trans? ferred from the State Courts to those of to 9 United States. An attempt will be made to get the United States Supreme Court to issue an injunction against re i-aining tbe openiag of the gates. To do its the suit will have to be brought in ?? name of tbe State of Illinois and At lmey-General Moloney has given bis it. The grounds of complaint will i that the corporation is an Illinois one Congress had no power to make the lozloua restrictions.. President Pal? mer, however, thinks the closing of the :;Fku* Sunday ia a settled fact. William and Mary College, Virginia's arable seat of sound learning, ia hap over the recent passage by Congress a bill to reimburse the college to the >unt of sixty-four thousand dollars "the destruction of its buildings and property destroyed without author by soldiers of the United States dur 3g the late war." Tbe matter has been fore Congress for a good many years, . and the bill, passed by the house in its \ last days, was favorably acted on by the . Senate more than a year ago. Tbe pass? age of the bill was urged by Hon. Geo. F. Hoar while he was a member of the bouse, and he has been in the Senate fif? teen years. The iniquities of the father may some limed be visited upon his descendants, even to the third or fourth generation, hut there is a degree of compensation in . the fact that the good deeds.of an ancestor ?come as blessings upon the heads of those . who follow in the line of descent. Half a century ago a kind-hearted woman in [ Pennsylvania took charge of the five children of a man who was executed for the murder of his wife. She went to her final reward years ago, but one of tbe ; children whom she befriended in the purest charity, died recently and left the woman's grandchild a pleasant fortune of -?200,000. When gratitude survives gen? erations, the fact is one of those truths that is stranger than fiction. The persons who had the names of Congressman Latiow, Strait and Mo 'Laarin placed on the "black list" in the ' Poatonioe Department in Washington have boon referred to by some of Gov. Til I man's organs as doing "the work of a coward *nd sneak," and employing the "methods of the midnight assassin/*' A, few weeks ago Gov. Tillmau wrote a let? ter to President Cleveland in which he blacklisted Editor Hemphi 11, of the News and Courier, Editor Gonzales, of the State, M. L. Donaldson, President of tbe State Alliance, and B. F. Perry, of Greenville. ?"How do you like it, Democrats of An? derson County, to have it flung in your teetb" by certain organs "tbat the man ^y??u havo chosen" as the Chief Executive of the Slate is doing "the work of-a cow? ard and sneak," and employing the ''methods of the midnight assassin" ? Tbe quarterly statement of Southern industries prepared by the Tradesman, of Chattanooga, Ten n., shows that for the first quarter of 1893, the new industries established exceed those of the first quar? ter of 1892 by 198, while for tbe first of this year only 8 developmont companies have been incorporated, during tbe same period for last year, 27 were formed. The quarter just ended also shows 76 cotton and woolen mills established, 59 flour and g;:ist mills, 20 canning factories, 40 oil mills and the building of 32 water works plant?._ __ The will of the late John Thompson, who died recently in Charleston, was ad? mitted to probate in that city last Satur? day. The testator after devising sundry real estate to friends in the city, $10,000 to distant relations in Scotland and $20, 000 to his executors, leaves the remainder of his estate to the city of Charleston. No trusts are created ; the city is simply made his residuary legatee. It is thought that the estate will be worth about $150, 000 after all bequests are paid. Deceased was a well known seedsman and gar? dener, who came from Scotland. A Plea for the Old languages. Editors Intelligencer: It has be? come fashionable with those who aim to get only a certain grade of education to consider the original olasBic languages as old-fashioned learning, tedious, difficult and without practical use for tbe pur? poses of life. They call Greek and Latin the "dead languages," and consider them dead for all practical purposes, without knowing that they are using them, con? stantly, just as a child uses the common English nursery language without know? ing where it comes from. Seventy-five Ear cent of our spoken and written Eng sh to-day is Latin accommodation and incorporation. In the science and art de? partments?Chemistry, Medicine, Bota ny, Geolcgy, Natural Philosophy, Dy? namics, and all applied science?i. e., the art departments calling into use air, heat, light, electricity, wood, iron, coal, oil, everything, Greek is coming into use so rapidly as to make a very large per cent of actual English speech In the very de? partments of practical knowledge which these practical people are aiming to ac? quire. They are constantly learning to pronounce words without knowing where they oame from. Are the languages dead that are running through our speech, tbat are blooming into leaf and flower on the trunk of our old Anglo-Saxon ? tbat are enriching the vocabulary of Science, that are creeping into bur Dictionaries so steadily as to make it necessary soon to modify old Webster? and tbat are In the van of the great improvements of our day In art and discovery ? Has language ?ver died yet? They are the most en? during monuments of the race. The In? dians are almost gone, but their Wig? wams, and Tugaloos, and Seneeas, and Pedees, and Cherawa, and Connecticuts, and Oswegoes, and Ontarios are classics of American speech, glittering with fresh Slendor. Ail Americans are proud of am. Is the old Arian language of India dead? No. It is running through the modern dialects of India, China, Eastern Europe and got into the Greek and Latin. Is old Hebrew dead ? No. It is running through the Shemitio languages of Tur? key, Egypt, Arabia, Syria, Eastern Afri? ca. The grandest study of to-day is lan? guage. It is the key to antiquity?key to the knowledges. Yes, key to your mod? ern Technology. The finest uisoipliner in the world is to unravel language. Our old Englo-Saxon is the bone and sinew of our English; but Latin and Greek are tbe muscle and flesh that move the frame and cover it with elegant sym? metry. House, home, father, mother, ' tree, wood, fire, horse, cow are Anglo Saxon bone; at, to, but, under, over, with, about are the sinews. But, one generation cometh and another genera? tion goeth, and lc is thus that the earth Is evacuated and replenished by the troops of succeeding, pilgrims. Generation, Latin; another, Gothic ; evacuated, re? plenished, succeeding, pilgrims, Latin; troops, Italian twisted from old Greek word; but all smoothing, embellishing and empowing the English tongue. The drift of the present age into Tech? nical Scliools, pushing Greek and Latin into a corner, is applied Science without Science. It is budding without a solid foundation. It Is neglecting, inverting, perverting e-duc-ation, leading in tbe eyes and. the hands Instead of leading out the mind to tbe bands. Tbe true process is from within outward, not from with? out inwaiJ. Latin, Greek, English are the best liisoipliners, mental, in tbe world. Interpretation of language stands at the head of the trainers of the thinking pow? ers. Then follows keenness, astuteness, strength, comprehension to take hold and utilize every department of art or indus? try. Mtny people are beginning to Bee that something is wrong in our modern methods. Unfortunately it is "methods." Parents see that tholr boys and girls are not taken with a passion for knowledge. Don't study with ambition. The think? ing powers are not first fvlly drawn out. D. E. F. iillman Goes Westward. It has been kept very quiet and noth? ing has been said about it, but all the sams Governor TUlman will leave the city and the State this morning on an ex? tended western tour, which will cause him to- absent himself from the city for something over a week, or perhaps ten days. He Is to be accompanied by State Li? quor Commissioner TrazJer, and tbey are going away on. business connected with the preparations for the opening of the great State Dispensary. The Gover? nor said when asked about his trip yes? terday afternoon tbs.t he and Mr. Traxler would leave the city this morning. He states that t.ney will visit Cincinnati and other western cities. They are going, he says, to confer with tbe great brewers and whiskey manufacturers to see about the selection of the stock for the big State barroom. They are also going on to ex? amine all kinds of bottling, washing and labelling machinery, with the intention of securing for use in the Dispensary tbe most Improved styles. The Governor says they expect to ac corjui lish a great deal by their visit and learn much about tbe management of such an immense liquor business as the State proposes to carry on. . Mr. Traxler will return to the city this morning and be and the Governor will j leave at once. This is perhaps the first time that a I Governor of any State has ever gone od . such a mission. I The Governor when asked said that he I did not have the slightest idea that any ? thing would come out of the de terrains ? i tion of the liquor men to fight the Dis? pensary, and their assertion that they wonld be found open after the day fixed by law for tbe Dispensary law to go into active operation. He said be was there to see that tbe law was carried out accord? ing to the provisions, and the opposition of the liquor men was not worrying him in the least. The Governor says tbat the stand taken by the liquor men that those who had paid their $100 to the County Treasurers, and secured licenses from the cities and towns to carry on a liquor business for a year, such licenses being secured prior to the time that the law?as they claim? could have become operative, cannot pos? sibly bold good and it will never be so decided. He gives his reasons for this, but does not care to make them public. The Governor certainly has nofesr what? ever of any barrooms remaining open after tbe last day of June next. He says the preparations for the open? ing of toe Dispensary will be pushed en? ergetically, and the time for the opening will find everything in readiness. He and Mr. Traxler have given explicit In? structions in regard to the improvements ou Agricultural Hall and tbey will be carried out in their absence. The people of Columbia are watching tbe preparations and tbe status of tbe fight of the liquor men with the greatest interest. The outcome will be more in? teresting still. When the Governor returns the meet? ing of the State Board of Control will doubtless be called at once, and tbe County Boards of Control throughout tbe State will be appointed. Then they will organize and will proceed with the selec? tion of the County Dispensers, so that arrangements can proceed for the opening of the County Dispensaries, where peti? tions are presented lor their establish? ment.? Columbia State, April 3. ? The expense of discovering Ameri? ca amounted to ?7,500, according to cal? culations of the value of the maravedi und?r Ferdinand and Isabella. Soven thousar. 1 five hundred dollars at that time, however, represented a much high? er money value than at present. Of this some money was raised in kind, as the I city of Paios owed the Government, as a fine, two caravels, fully manned, for the period of a twelvemonth. The salary of Columbus was something over $300 a year. His captains go; about $200. One million, one nundred and forty thou? sand maravedis was the expense* accord? ing to the documents, The ships' sur? geon got thirty-six a vear for Iis services. Probably he al30 saved the crew, Hitting WhT* it Hurt?. Washington, Marvi:It is difficult for a Sunday school Hcimlar to truthfully express tbe sentitneuts of the Tillman faction of the Soutn Carolina Democracy now in Washington. The Bhock they re? ceived at the postoffice department was sufficient to "knock out" even a well traiued "political slugger" like Senator Iiby. Only last Saturday he tripped gayly up the Presidential stairway at the White House, accompanied by Capt. Shell, and openly declared that he had everything fixed and he had summoned bis friends in the South Carolina delega? tion to hurry on to Washington and assist him in distributing the Federal patronage which be claims properly belongs to him and bis friends. To-day be is not so chipper, but is equally determined, and a lively contest may bo expected. The report of the visitation of Mo&srs. Strait and Latimer to the postoffice de? partment yesterday and tho subsequent visit of Senator Irby occasioned consider? able comment in political circles here. Many of the Southern Congressmen con? tend tbat it is unwise for the Adminis? tration to take such a position against tbe Alliance Democrats of tbe South and West. I met Postmaster-General Bissell at the White House to-dav, and had a few minutes' conversation with bim relative to tbe "turning of the pictures of Messrs. Strait. Latimer and McLaurin to the wall." He confirmed the report sent to tbe News and Courier last night, and added tbat be is not familiar with the details of the factional fight in South Carolina and he is now too busy to dive into them. He is not prepared to say wben he will have an opportunity to give Senator Irby and bis friends a hearing on tbe subject, but in yiew of tbe fact that he expects to give Senator Butler and Rep? resentative Brawley an interview to? morrow he may make it convenient to Bee Senator Irby at an early day. Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Maxwell was also called upon by your correspondent to-day. Mr. Maxwell, with his usual good humor, endeavored to treat the matter lightly. He said Seu ator Irby and his friends were unneces? sarily alarmed and the situation may not be as bad as they imagine. The work of the postoffice department is very heavy just now, and it is impossible for him to give the attention to the South Carolina matter it deserves. He would not apply tbe term "blacklist" to the present con? dition of Messrs. Strait, Latimer and Mc Laurin, but be was careful not to admit tbat tbey are now enjoying the same privileges as are accorded to other Demo? cratic Congressmen-elect. Senator Irby and his friends are very indignant on tbe subject, and tbey pro? pose to carry the fight to the President. Messrs. Latimer ana Strait have written to the President on the subject, and tbey have informed him tbat if tbeir written explanation is not sufficient they would like to have an opportunity to explain tbe situation to bim verbally. They are now awaiting his answer.?Ditputch to News and Courier. Washington, March 29.?It is gener? ally understood here to-day that Mr. 1ST. G. Gonzales' nomination to be Consul General at Rio de Janeiro will be shortly sent to tbe Senate. Senator Irby has just been interviewed with reference to bis appointment, and,' as usual, spoke frankly and to the point. "I am very much surprised," said he. *iat this nomination. I neither protested against it, nor was I consulted with ref? erence to it. As the representative of the organized Democracy of South Carolina, I would be derelict in ray duty as if I did not oppose his nomination, because the office does not fit him, and it is an insult to tbe Democracy of my State. I would suffer my throat cut before I would yote for bim for an office of tbat sort, for bis appeal to the negro and his opposition to the regular nominees of (he Democratic party in 1890. His criticisms of me would not necessarily influence my vote, but, as chairman of tbe party, I cannot and will not stand such nominations. I did not object to the confirmation of Gen. Hamp? ton, because both factions, for certain reasons, were not opposed to giving bim an office. But I want it understood that I am not going to swallow any of Mr. Cleveland's rotten eggs. I will oppose this confirmation, even if I lose all the patronage in South Carolina, even to the small privilege of naming my own post? master." The Sooth Carolina Ocala Representa? tives, Messrs. Latimer, Strait, McLaurin and Talbert, called on Postmaster-Gen? eral Bissell to-day with reference to tbeir being blacklisted. Mr. Bissell informed tbe delegation tbat lie bad ascertained, since tbeir former call on Monday, that it was through tbe mistake of one of the olerks, who was making a list of the Farmers' Alliance and Third party mem? bers of Ooagress spd placed their names upon it, tbat they were blacklisted. "This," said Mr. Bissall, "is not an official non-recognition of your claims." He further stated tbat neither be nor Mr. Maxwell were aware of tbeir being black? listed when tbey called upon him on Monday in rogard to the matter, and it was for this reason tbat he was unable to explain why it was tbey were put on tbe black list.?Dispatch to Columbia State. Washington, March 29.?The Presi? dent does not intend to take up the South Carolina cases until he has ample time to felly investigate tbe condition of affairs in that State. He has made some exami? nation of tbe subject, but he has not had sufficient opportunity to give the ques? tions involved tbe consideration tbey deserve. Under tbe circumstances it seems useless for tbe applicants for the various offices and their friends to linger longer in Washington. Some of them are beginning to realize that this is whole? some advice and are preparing to take their departure. Representative Brawley called at the White House to-day and had a pfeasant chat with the President, but was not pre? pared to make any rash predictions as to the future, Major Brawley probably un? derstands tbat it is impossible for tbe President to drive, into South Carolina matters at this time wben the pressure upon him from other sources is so great. Ex-District Attorney Yonmans was also among the President's visitors to-day. Mr. Youmans is making his contest for the district attorneysbip with the same vigor tbat characterizes all his actions. He did not have time to say much to tbe President to-day, as tbe crowd in tbe Cabinet room when be called was very great Senator Irby is conducting his cam? paign against the postoffice officials from a sick bed. He took aseveie cold last Monday and bas been confined to his bed ever since. He is muoh improved to? night and hopes to be- out and about to? morrow. This morning another effort was made by tbe "blacklisted" South Carolina Con? gressmen to get Postmaster-General Bis? sell to further define their political status so far as tbe postal service is concerned. Bepresontatives-elect Talbert, Strait, Lat? imer and McLaurin called at the depart? ment, were admitted to the office of the Postmaster-General and inquired if tbey could secure action upon some of the postoffice cases in tbeir respective dis? tricts where vacancies exist. The Post? master-General received them kindly, listened to their statements and then in? formed them that be would not take up tbe South Carolina contest until after next week. He was then asked if their recommendations would bo recognized at tbe same value as those ot other Demo? cratic Congressmen. General Bissell was not prepared to give a direct reply to that question. It is said by Mr. Latimer that be evaded tbe subject and left an impres? sion that was not favorable. They a.so asked tbe Postmaster-General to inform them who was responsible for the pro? scription placed upon them. He is said to have replied that one of the clerks in the department, with a view to ascertaining how many Third Party men there are in tbe next Congress, made up a list in which the four South Carolinians arc included. This explana? tion is not satisfactory to them ana they assert tbat other influence was exerted to place them in tbeir present embarrass? ing situation. After visiting the postoffice department they went to the National Hotel and held a consultation with Senator Irby in his bed room. Mr, Shell was not present, for, according to Senator Irby, Mr. Shell misunderstood the invitation that was extended bim to participate in the con? ference, The Reformers are greatly in? censed at the turn of South Carolina affairs at this end of the line, and as they did not accomplish anything by remain? ing here it is probable that they will soon turn tbeir step homeward to await devoir opments. Representative Strait and bis associates are sore at the treatment they have re? ceived and they are determined to resent tho indignity to the bitter end. Senator Irby is not dismayed, although be real* izes that the present outlook is not as encouraging as it might be. He says he glories in a lively political fight and that tbe Democratic organization will sustain bim in bis demand that the Reformers shall have a fair distribution of the fruits of victory,? Dispatch to News and Cou? rier. Washington, March 31.?It appears now that Governor Tillman and Senator Irby were the piouers in the "blacklisting business," and their representatives in tho next House are but receiving tlio same treatment at the bands of the Ad? ministration that Tillman and Irby in? tended for others. Several days ago I received an intimation that Governor Tillman wrote a letter requesting the President (o "aim tho pictures of four men in South Carolina to the wall." .>.ri-r considerable rlifliculty 1 obtained tlio names on the Tillman "blacklist," which are as follows: The first named on the list is James C. Hemphill, Editor of the News and Courier ; second, Benja? min F. Perry, who wants to bo collector of internal revenue: third, K. G. Gonza? les, editor of tho Stale; fourth, M. L. Donaldson, (president of tlio State Far? mers' Alliaucoof South Carolina.) Sena? tor Irby added another name to the list and it" turns, out to be Robert Harris, [Harris hails' from Union County and votod for Cleveland at Chicago.] I was not certain how this "blacklist" reached the President until I mentioned the subject to Senator Irby. He was greatly surprised to know that I was in possession of the secret, and in his zeal to ascertain where I received tho informa? tion he said tbat he was present when Governor Tillman wrote the letter, and that only Governor Tillman, the Presi? dent and himself were aware that such a communication is in existence. The Governor in his letter to the President urges that none of tho gentlemen named shall be recognized by the present Ad? ministration by Federal appointment at home or abroad. Senator Irby at once organised a guessing contest in an en? deavor to identify tho perse 1 who fur? nished me with the secret /hich he believed was so carefully guarded. Future developments in connection with this matter promises to be it.Crest? ing. The "blacklisted" Congressmen from South Carolina made another visit to the postofiice department this morn? ing to try and induce the Postmaster General to furnish some additional information concerning their unenvia? ble condition. They saw Fourth Assis? tant Postmaster-General Maxwell, who gave them but little encouragement beyond saying that the South Carolina case might be taken up next week for consideration. Ho does not subscribe to tbe story that a clerk is responsible for the "blacklisting" of the South Carolina Congressmen, but ho declines to state who is responsible for their being classed as Third Party men. The indications are that the President may determine to till tbe South Carolina offices with men who are not actively identified with either of the contending factions. Representative Brawley, having be? come convinced that the President does not intend to take immediate action upon the South Carolina appointments, has concluded to return home, and await developments. He called at the war department to-day to urge Secretary La mont to detail Lieut. Jenkins, of the 5th cavalry, for duty at the Citadel Academy, at Charleston, vice Lieut. Towers, deceas? ed. There are certain legal com plications in connection with tbe proposed detail, which Mr. Brawley hopes to overcome.? Dispatch to News and Courier. Washington, April 3.?Tho President dropped two plums into tbe lap of the Anti-Tillmanites to-day when he ap? pointed T. Stobo Farrow second auditor of the treasury and W. 0. Prentiss post? master at Beaufort. Both of the appoint? ments were recommended by Senator Butler and other South Carolinians who train with the Conservative ele? ment. As a further Indication that the Admin? istration is disposed to be friendly to the Conservatives, Secretary Herbert, at the instance of Senator Butler, to-day au? thorized the appointment of R. A. Tom kins, of Edgefield, as clerk to the com? mandant at the Port Royal naval station at a salary of $1,500. Tbe Postmater Gen? eral also allowed Senator Butler to name Mr. Mosely as postmaster at Lowndes ville, in the county of Abbeville. These eivdences of recognition of the Conservatives may not please Senator Irby and his associates, but they are maintaining a discreet silence to-night. The President has replied to their letter in which they requested an opportunity to meet the charges which induced "Headsman" Maxwell to place Messrs. Strait. McLaurin and Latimer on the "black list." His answer is said to be couched in dignified language, but he refers them to Postmaster General Bissel!. After reviewing the President's state? ment Messrs. Strait and Latimer called at the postoffice department and bad an interview with Mr. Bissell. They in? formed him of the contents of tbe Presi? dent's letter, and they insisted that tbey have an opportunity to meet their ac? cusers face to face. Mr. Bissell said he would endeavor to grant their request, so he designated next Wednesday after? noon lor the time when be would give them a full hearing. He also said he would invite some of tbe gentlemen who made the charges of "Third Partyism" against them to be presentat tbe hearing. The result of the proposed hearing will be lookod lor with general interest throughout the South Carolina colony, and it will probably be interesting if the two factions come t zether.?Dispatch to News a7id Courier. It was an Exciting Time. Tbe Steamer Venango (Br.) Hamburg, which arrived at New York Wednesday, had a narrow escape from total destruc? tion by fire during her voyage to this port. Captdin Wilson reports that on the 21st instant in tnidocean, at 10:30 p. m. during a strong northwest gale and high sea, a hanging lamp in the saloon was knocked from its fastenings, fall ing to the floor, where it exploded, and the whole cabin was immediately in flames. Captain Wilson, who was asleep In his room, forward of the saloon, was awaken? ed by tbe intense beat and smoke and with great difficulty reached the deck and gave tbe alarm. ? ?All hands rushed aft and with much difficulty, owing to the headway the fire bad gained, caused by the high winds, succeeded, with the aid of a fire pump, in subduing tbe dames, however, not bet?re the interior of the cabin was completely charred and distaced. Captain Wilson loses all bis effects, cabin furniture and fittings being completely ruined. The chief steward was severely burned about the face and body. The Captain's valuable Newfoundland dog refused to leave the cabin and perished in the flames. The loss will reach several thousand dollars. Had not the afterhouae, where the saloon is situated, been completely cut off, the vessel would have undoubt? edly been destroyed, as tbe fire bad gained great headway before being discovered, and the furious gale blowing, nothing would have saved her. Death Was Instantaneous, Sing Sing, N. Y., April 3.?James W. Hamilton, a colored ex-preacher and convicted wife murderer, died in the electric cbair te-day. The death warrant was read by Warden Brown in the con? demned man's cell at' 11:30 o'clock last night. Hamilton sat on the bed and showed some signs of emotion when tbe document was read, Hamilton walked with firm step to tbe death chamber. Two priests wore close beside him. Hamilton took his scat in the chair with a glance of curious inter? est in the surroundings. H.s lips moved in response to prayers for the prisoner, which Father Creeden repeated, but no words could bo heard. Hamilton was quickly strapped in tho cbair. At 11:10-3 all connections were made and Warden Brown gave the sig? nal. A current of 1,740 volts were turned on and the victim in the cbair jumped upward, straining at the straps, and re? mained rigid, A crucifix which beheld in his right hand was clusped still tightly, but his lips stopped moving and all signs of life ceased at tbe instant of contact. The current was left on for sixty seconds, then turned off. The physicians stepped forward and listened lor heart beats and felt for the pulse. They declared tbe sub? ject dead at 11:13-10. The electrocution differed from all its predecessors in that only one shock was given. There was no scorching or scald? ing of the skin or steaming at the elec troids, and while tbe man was above me? dium height and of massive build, it was evident that death was instantaneous. Such was the verdict of all who wero present who had seen former executions in the electric chair. Electrician Davis said it was the most successful at which he had officiated. He gave a voltage at 1,749 and amperes at 7 5-10. Hr. ?av^snrkemaJns. Richmond, Va., April 2.?At a meet? ing of the executive committee of the Jefferson Dnvis monument Association held this evening, President Ellison mado a report of his trip to New Orleans and his visit to Mrs. Davis in New York in tho interest of the removal of the re. mains of Mr. Davis, the details of which have been published. It was decided that the funeral train will leave New Orleans, Sunday, May ?}, under an escort of thirty-livo ex-Confederates: that in view of the fact tbat certain halts are to be made, the train would not be able to get to Richmond on May 30th, Hollywood memorial day, therefore it was determin? ed that the reinterment should take place May 31st, and tho ladies of tho Holly? wood Moinorlui .Association will be re? quested to postpone thoir annual tribute to tho Confederate dead until said day and co-operate with tho Monument Assocla-' tion in its exorcises in honor of'.be mem? ory of Mr. Davis. -?1- ? ? Mr. Harrison and the members of his cabinet all firmly believe that thcii" party will soon return to power. Batllo Willi a Maniac, c. jCAGO, .March 31.?With every nerve and a isc-le at highest tension, George Doyle foimht with a Philadelphia ma? niac, 250 feet above ground, to-day, and only by a bit of clever strategy escaped heine thrown to tho pavomont by the madman. At 2 o'clock Robert Godnoy and Doyle stepped out on the roof of the great Northern Hotel to look over tho city. The two had met in the lobby of the hotel, when Goduey, who has been at tbe Great Northern for weeks informed Doyle that he intended going to the Ma? sonic Temple observatory to look at the town. Doyle told the Philadelphia? a good view could be had from the roof of tho hotel and proposed to accompany him. When the two wore on the roof, Doyle began pointing out the various buildings. Gednoy took hold of Doyle's hand, and going to the Dearborn street side of the roof, looked directly down. It was too much for the young Phila? delphia's mind. He stepped back, and as if he considered the whole thing a joke, laughed heartily and danced around his companion like a comedian. Suddenly his manner changed, and before Doyle could realize what was being done Godney caught bim and threw him violently on the roof and shouted: "I'm going to throw you over that side." Doyle braced himself for the terrible struggle, and the two wrestled about the roof one for his life, the other to satisfy an insane fancy. Doyle was much in? ferior in strength, and Gedney was strengthened by his frenzy. Every mo? ment the two men were getting nearer the edge, and Doyle, changing his meth? od, concluded to try trategy. "Wait a moment," he said, "before you throw me over; give me a moment for prayer." The maniac stood still for a moment, then released Doyle and stepped respect? fully back. Doyle stood looking directly upward. Suddenly he dashod toward the scuttle and rah down the stairway out of the danger thai threatened hitn. Robert Haslam, looking from bis office on the top floor of the Monadnock blosk, saw tho struggle and went hurriedly across to tho hotel. He went to Land? lord Eden, and the two, with a porter, reached tho top floor just in time to meet Doyle coming down. Mr. Eden persuaded the insane Gedney to come down from tho roof and he was put in a physician's caie. Tho latter says that with absolute quiet he will be all right, in a day or two. A Watery Grave for Fonr. New Orleans, April 2.?By the over? turning of a sailboat on Lake Poncba trian this afternoon, four persons?Mrs. Mary A. Kelly, Miss Agnes and Miss Mamie Flynn, neices, Miss Effie Kelley ?were drowned. Several others who formed the party narrowly escaped a sim? ilar fate. A party consisting of ten persons, all residing within a stone's throw of each other in this city, bad gone out to Milen burg, a pleasure resort on tbe lake shore, for a picnic. The morning was spent in various sports, and after lunch a sail was proposed. A cat-rigged yawl was hired from the boat-keeper, and the party started out, heading for the Spanish light bouses. The weather was fine, and Mr. Kelley, who professed himself entirely compe? tent, sailed the boat along merrily. The lighthouse was reached safely, and the boat then put about for the return trip to Milenburg. In tacking, tbe yawl ca? reened, and her occupants strove to right her by rushing to the opposite side. This capsized the vessel, and all on board were thrown struggling into the water. The scream s of the women attracted the attention of a party of men fishing from a skiff some distance away, and tbey pnt off to the rescue at once. William G. Merzenach, one of the fishing party, saved four of the occupants of the yawl, and two others were saved by his com? panions. The four victims of the acci? dent sank before tbeir eyes. The persons rescued were take te the1 Spanish Fort, whence they were sent to Milenburg, and thence back to tbe city. Search was at once made for the bodies of the drowned, but up to midnight none had been found. ? Professor Garner has already mas? tered 200 words of the monkey language and he thinks tbat there are not more than twenty more. ? The President of Saa Domingo is progressive, but he is not up to the full standard of the civilized thief. He rob? bed a bank of only $02,000, and didn't get awav with that. .He meant well, how? ever, and after a few more lessons from his Anglo-Saxon models be may become no mean robber after all. ? In speaking of the oldest locomotive being exhibited at the World's Fair, the Greenwood correspondent of the Abbe? ville Press and Banner aptly suggests that the first engineer in America and tbe old? est living one in the world be given a prominent place In tb exhibit. His name is Joe Hatton, aged 92 years, and he lives at Greenwood. ? The New York World has under? taken to raise tbe debt on Dr. Talmage's Brooklyn tabernacle by popular sub? scription. It has already collected over $6,000, and tbe daily receipts are aver? aging over $600 per day. The World in? sists that it would be a disgrace to New York as well as to Brooklyn to allow Chicago to capture the most popular preacher of the last decade. It now be? gins to look as il Dr. Talmage will remain in Brooklyn. ? The senior general of the highest rank left among the confederate generals is Lieutenant-General James Longstreet. He was commissioned in October, 1862, and General Jackson was commissioned at the same time. The other surviving lieutenant generals are Jubal Early, Stephen Lee, Wade Hampton, all com. missioned in 1864; Simon Buckner, Joe Wr. Wheeler and John B. Gordon, all commissioned in 1865, ? A dispatch from Augusta, HI., says that four miles northwest of that place, a few days ago, William Allen bored a well on bis farm, going to a depth of 77 feet. At that depth suddenly tho entire bottom fell out, carrying all but about 5 feet of tbe walls with it. At the bottom of tbe deep bole thus formed co'.Id be seen a swift rushing stream. All efforts to fill up this hole have proved futile, the rushing current carryiog away every? thing thrown into it. ? The Rock Hill Herald says that Hall White, body servant of Dr. W. J. Whi^e during and before tbe war, writes to the doctor from Liberia that he is prospering in that iarroff country. He has a coffee farm of 3,000 trees and two sons have ad jaoent farms of 1,000 trees each. He has been there six years and is satisfied, ex? cept that the natives are constantly en? gaged in warfare. Hall went through the late war and was a faithful ser? vant to his master under all circumstan? ces. ? Mohammet's injunction against tbe use of ardent spirits is so well obeyed even at this late day that it is an ex? tremely rare Bight to see a drunken Mussulman. A lady who has been making a tour of Egypt says that dnring a long stay in Cairo none of her party saw an intoxicated man. She says that she asfced her dragoman if he ever under any provocation indulged in strong drink, and he answered ; "If my with wero dying and thu dootor ordered her to take brandy and she died with tbat brandy in her stomaoh God would not receive her in Heaven." Paul's doo trine of a little wine for the stomach's sake has no place in the Koran code of ethics. ? Somewhat of a sensation has been made in Washington over the appear? ance of Scott Harrison, of Kansas City, Mo., a brother of ex-President Harrison, as an applicant for office at the hands of President Cleveland. He wants to bo surveyor of the port of Kanses City. The Kansas City Times says of him : ""Polit? ically he has been the black sheep of tho Harrison family, for he has voted the Democratic ticket all his life, except, of course, whpn his brother was a can? didate for the Presidency. He never asked his party for an office, and during his brother's four years' stay in tha White House ho sought no political honr or. Mr. Jiarrlsou has been in the real estate business in Kansas City many years, but never took more ; than a passive interest in matters noliti-. cal. ? The executors of Patrick Henrlter filed tbeir accounts with tbe registrar of wills in Philadelphia last week. Hen riter died on the 5th of March and his household effects were appiaised at $7 and at auction they brought 35 cents more than the appraisement. The finding of $20 in tbe deceased's room, led the ex? ecutors to "rip things up." Under the oarpet they discovered the old man's naturalization papers and Judgment notes for a large sura. Tearing opon a feather bed, $137 in cash was found. A brick, closing a stove pipe hole in tho yard, was removed and from tho cavity was extracted an old umbrella, from the folds of which fell live bank books, showing deposits amounting to $14,915. Honritci also owned real ost?to valued at $9,000, and his possessions will bo divi? ded among throo grandchildren subject to boqnosts aggregating $2,000, news. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.

The latest fad of tho society girl is a cabinet for her dainty footwear. It is made to hang on the wall of her dressing room and has a glass front, so that the enclosed marvels of the shoemaker's art, resting on ailk sachets, will be exposed to view. Every woman with small feet will want such a cabinet. ? A strange scene was enacted in the Texas house of representatives the other day. The chaplain's prayer had offended some of the members, and one of thorn introduced a resolution to the effect that "the portion of the prayer which read, '0, God, open the eyes of those who have al? lowed the love of money to be balanced against virtue that tbey may see that pu? rity is above rubies, and that in their hands is placed power to save those against whom the false standard of so? ciety has closed tho churches and all avenues of reformation,' be expunged from tho journals of this house." An earnest debate followed, in which it was claimed that the prayer was a rotlection upon the character o'f the members, and an attempt to dictate to them in regard to a proposod measure. The house very sensibly rejected it as depriving the chaplain of liberty in his petitions. The point seems to have been overlooked that the prayer was be3rond tho roach of the legislature, and its propriety in the hands of a higher power, and that to expunge it would not counteract it.
