He ; the point has already been reach where nations with these modern Ipments will not risk the oonsequen lof a great war, no matter what the >vocation. If this be true, and the imandsr speaks as one with authori ff why should millions spent every ' for the implements of war, and vast ig armies maintained in idleness gp^expenseof the producers in the >us nations? The time seems to have . reached when the great powers of world should agree upon some tri which shall finally determine all tiers In controversy. I It is not so many years ago since the tioo, "Who struck Billy Patterson ?" fas a common ?lang for any unanswera i problem. Few people, however, had ly idea that there was any real Billy arson, or that anybody really struck It turns out now that Billy was an person, a powerful man, with a like a sledge-hammer, and that he ly received the blow, but was never ! to find cnt who It was that gave it. interesting event happened some years since at Carnesville, Ga., and j ly was se outraged by the blow that1 offered finally a reward of one thous ; dollars to any one who would reveal identity of the man that bad the slty to strike him. This reward, it J, is still awaiting a claimant in the j :lin ? County, Ga., court of record, ! the daughter of the man who struck 1 i historic blow Is about to make a claim j jr. It. The man that did it was George Tillarton, who at the time lived at lin, Ga. He was very careful not his identity to tbe enraged Billy, when tbe reward was offered, moved ; of the country to New York, for fear j^Seoret.would in some way leak out. jflmghter., Mrs. Jennie G. Connolly, jol, N. Y., is the only one now liv whols acquainted with all the cir ices, and it is said that she is fully i to establish the facts. "Who struck ^Patterson?" is no longer an nnan ible conundrum. ?? Tbe Augusta Chronicle says the census bulletin, on ownership and debt in South Caroliua shows that among 100 farm families 62 hire their farms, 3 own with incumbrance and 35 without incum brance. On the owned farms of tbat State there are liens amounting to $3,363, 679, which is 50.24 per cent of their value, and this debt bears interest at the average rate of 8.57 per cent, making the average annual Interest charge $80 to each family. Each owned an incumbered farm, on the average, is worth $1,851, and is subject to a debt of $930. The corresponding facts foi homee are that in 100 families on tho average 82 hire their homes, 1 owns with incumbrance, and 17 own without incum? brance. An average debt of $1,104 in cumbers each home, which has the aver? age value of $2^66. \ The appointments made by tbe Presi? dent up to date show that tbe spirit of sectionalism which has prevailed largely since the Civil War has abont been en? tirely wiped out The President has treated the South very handsomely in his appointments so far. Fifteen of the 38 diplomatic officers have already been appointed, and of these nine are from the South. Alabama has received the Span? ish mission, Louisiana the French Em? bassy, Tennessee the mission to Chili, Texas that to Turkey, Missouri the Swiss mission, Delaware, the moat important of all, the embassy to Great Britain; Kentucky furnished the Minister to Pern, Georgia the one to Guatemala and Hon? duras, and a North Carolinian has receiv? ed the appointment to the mission whioh includes Greece, Roamania and Servia. The West too, has been very handsomely treated as a whole, although no Individ? ual State-has np to date received as much consideration from the President as the Republican commonwealth of Massa? chusetts. It is entirely safe to say tbat the President's attention has been called, by Southern and Western men; to his partiality to Massachusetts, and that per? haps he will be a little more guarded in the future in awarding plumB of conse? quence to that State. The nominations made by the President, too, taken as a whole, are of the very highest character. The Republican Senators only criticised one and that was by no means on account of the personal character of the appointee. Thi i was in tbe cane of Mr. Eckels, of Illinois, appointed Comptroller of the I Currency. Mr. Eokles is a lawyer of distinction, bat John Sherman and Mr. Morrill and other Republicans "thought -that the Comptroller of tbe Currency ought to be a practical banker. Mr. Cleveland thought differently. He con ! sldered that it was more essential to have a good lawyer in that office than a practi cal banker, as the bank examiners to he I appointed would in reality be the men who would have to do with the practical portion of the business of examining the banks. - ? ? t? Two weeks ago at Denmark, in Barn well County, a young lady was assaulted by a negro, and the crime has excited un? usual interest in that section. The citi? zens determined tbat the 'guilty wretch should aoffer for his crime, and the coun? try has been searched fur and wide for bim. Nineteen men were arrested 'at various times, but they proved their innocence and were released. On Satur? day John Peterson came to Col umbia and delivered himself to Governor Tillman. He stated that he was being pursued by some men from Denmark, and asked the Governor's protection. He said he knew nothing of the orime, and expressed a desire to be carried before the young lady so he could prove bis innocence. The negro was placed in Jail and Gov. Tillman promised him all the protection necessary. On Monday morning the negro was carried to Denmark and ush? ered at once Into the presence of the young lady, who said be was not the man who had committed the assault Thinking perhaps that tbe young lady, owing to her excitement at the time of the assault was nnable to properly iden? tify the real criminal, it was decided to give Peterson a vigilant committee trial, during which he was asked to account for himself daring a period of a few days before and after the day on which the crime was committed. He endeavored to prove an alibi and was coro bo rated by I several witnesses. A negro woman, I however, swore that she had seen him in Denmark on the day of the crime. [ Among the cooler heads there seem? ed to be a doubt as to the negro's ! guilt, and the day passed away quiet I ly, despite the great excitement tbat prevailed. Sundown came and the quie I tu de that had prevailed proyed to be bat the calm in advance of the storm, and ' before the general public was aware of it j fifty resolute men had proceeded to the I Jail, battered down the door, dragged j forth the wretched negro, who fearfully I protested his innocence while tbe furious mob howled vengeance around him. The scene soon comes to a close, and the poor negro's body, riddled with bullets, is left swinging from the limb of a tree. It is true that the crime was a heinous one, richly deserving death, but the citi? zens of Denmark have brought another stigma upon our State by their act They have acted two hastily, and such lawless nee* is to be condemned. These lawless lynchings most be stopped and tbe digni? ty of the courts and the majesty of the law most be upheld. Tbe prisoner in this ins tan oe was in the hands of the officers of the law, and could have been given a fair trial by the Court If guilty, there was no possible chance for him to have es- j caped punishment end if be could not be proven guilty he ought not to be punish? ed. Mob law is never justifiable, and the Denmark lynching Is an outrage upon justice._ Clemson College Opening. Mr. Tindal returned yesterday from Fort Hill, where he had been in attend? ance upon a meeting of tbe Clemson Trustees. He said tbat tbe Board found that work on the building was progress? ing finely and tbat there was no doubt about the college being ready for opening on July 6. Tbe question of electing a resident physician caused much discussion and forty-six ballots. There were thirty applicants for the place but finally Dr. T. J. Redfearne, of Chesterfield, was cho? sen. Mr. J. K. Wright, from Laurens, was elected foreman of tbe iron department of the shops. He has been in this business for many years. Mr. Litton, who has heretofore been doing tbe woodwork on tbe buildings, was elected as superintendent of tbe me? chanical department. Mrs. Fitzgerald of Newberry was elec? ted nurse and matron. A resolution was passed ordering a more extended prospectus. It will give fuller information about the college than has heretofore been published. All desiring a copy may get them by applying to Professor Neu man at Fort Hill. On July 27 the State Alliance will visit the college and will spend one day there. The trustees will extend a cordial wel? come to the members, and will do all la their power to make tbe visit a pleasant one. An effort will also be made to get some distinguished speaker, and it is hoped that Congressman. Hatch can be secured. All the professors are requested and expected to be at Fort Hill on June 20tb to arrange about rooms, classes, etc. The Board did not elect a President at this mooring. The matter of the selection of an available man was left to a committee, which will report at the meeting tobe held the first Wednesday in June,?Cb lumbia Register April 13. ? Bishop Key, of the Southern Metho? dist Episcopal Church, who was recently married at Sherman, Texas, to Mrs. L. A.

Marietta, Texas, April 19, 1M3 Editors In telligk n oe r : Having re? ceived many letters of inquiry concerning Texas since I landed here from friends in and around Anderson, I will take this op? portunity of answering one and all through the columns of the Intelligen? cer, If the editors will be so kind as to publish same. I landed in B?lden, Tex? as, on the 4th day of January, 1893, and came immediately to my present home, Marietta, Cass County, nine miles east of Beiden. I did not find "all the coons up one tree," but am very well pleased with my change. I found the peopie ready to welcome all good citizens, "with or with? out capital, with open arms. The peo? ple here are as sociable, industrious, intel gent and law-abiding as any it has been my lot to come in contact with anywhere. Cass County is situated in the North? eastern part of tbe State, Is about thirty miles square, and. consequently contains about 900 square miles of territory. Liu den, tbe County site, is located near its center, with Atlanta in tbe Northeast its principal city, with 1,500 inhabitants. Tbe population of tbe County is about 25,000. The people are generally engaged in agricultural pursuits, although tbe lumber interests on the Texas <fc Pacific Railroad are extensive, shipping lumber to west Texas, Kansas, New Mexico and Indian Territory. Tbe climate is rather mild, though in winter we have some sleet and snow. Corn is now ready to begin cultivating, while some farmers have cotton up, but cotton planting is just fairly began. This part of tbe coun? try is comparatively level, interspersed with land in some localities slightly roll? ing, and in others with rocky clilTs. The land In cultivation Is nearly dear of rocks. The up lands is sandy loam, easily culti? vated, while on tbe numerous streams the bottom land is stiff and black. Tbe up lands produce from 600 to 1,200 pounds seed cotton per acre, and from 20 to 25 basbels corn, with average seasons and cultivation. The bottom lands produce about twice as much. This is without fertilizing in any way. In fact, tbe people here have not commenced to use fertilizers of any kind as yet, to any extent. Oats, rye, barley, sugar and sorghum cane, sweet and Irish potatoes, and all kinds of fruit, do well here. Wheat is almost a failure in east Texas, owing to too much rain here in the Spring of the year, not producing more than eight to twelve Dushels per acre; but Texas is a very large State and the wheat area of west Texas is larger than South and North Car Una cembhaed. This part of the State has plenty of good timber, composed of short leaf pine, white, red and post oak, hick? ory, walnut and many other kinds too numerous to mention. Tbe country is supplied with plenty of water: first, sur? face water, such as springs, small streams, creeks rivers and lakes; second, by dig? ging wells good water is obtained gener? ally at from sixteen to thirty feet It is true near the larger streams the water sometimes has some kind of mineral in it, bat generally healthful, and in fact tbe peo? ple are generally healthy, and I see noth? ing to cause sickness any more hero than anywhere else. As to society, it is good. Plenty of Churches well attended. As to tbe edu? cational interests in Texas, tbere is a pub? lic school situated on every hill top, the State of Texas having the largest pablio school fund of any State in the Union. The people are making good nse of it. They have from six to ten months free school each year, free to all pupils between eight and sixteen years of age. The price of farm land ranges from three to twelve dollars per acre, according to location, improvements, etc Stock and cattle are some cheaper than tbe same kind in Anderson County. Game is not very plentiful in this section, though tbere are a good many partridges, ducks, squirrels, rabbits, coons and opossums, and a few deer, turkey and wild bogs, and plenty of fish and seed ticks. Texas has tbe finest State capitol of any State in tbe Uoion, and last bat aot least, she has the largest Democratic majority of any of the States, 150,000 being about tbe average majority of the Democratic Party over any other party. H. H. Wabdlaw. State Banks. The Democratic party is committed to tbe repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on tbe bills of State Banks. This tax is for pro? hibition and not for revenue, and there are those who believe that the act is un? constitutional. It is almost certain that Congress will repeal it. Under a proper system of State bank? ing it is confidently believed that tbe financial problem will be in a fair way of solntion. Real estate is not a conver? tible security for money, and for this reason banks do not like to be weighted down with it Under tbe national bank act, partially for tbe reason stated, realty .wils prohibited for loans. This was an unjust discrimination against the South? ern farmer who had an embarrassment of riches in land. The law did not ope? rate near so oppressively in tbe East and West where tney had loan and trust com Gnies with an abundance of money to m on realty. There is no section of tbe country where State banks would do so much good as in the South. There is no rea? son why the States could not be safely entrusted with their regulation. The banks could be authorized to do business on a deposit of State and municipal bonds and other good securities. It is ab.mrd to assert that the State could not be safely entrusted with this business. For twen ty-hye years, ander tbe na? tional banking act, tbe South has been impoverished and will continue tobe un? til tbe system of free banking is restored to tbe States. We have no money centres in the South. They are all in tbe NortN where the finances are controlled a^u where the currency flows as naturally as night follows day. What we need isabankingsystem with a State currency that will constantly come back to as?a system that will have some elasticity about it?a system that will not arbitrarily proscribe as worthless the most plentiful security that our people own. Tbe South needs a system of bank? ing- that will aid in building up our farming interests and in developiug our mineral resources and-manufacturing in? dustries Under judicious laws, the States are en? tirely competent to manage their own banks. This is one of their constitutional rights, and tbe general government will no longei be permitted to usurp a pre? rogative tbat belongs to the States. The Democratic party is committed to tbe re? peal of tbe act and it will not take any step backward. No one has any right to nestion its good faith. As certain as ongress meets, so certain will tbe 10 per cent, tax on the issues of State banks be repealed.?Augusta Chronicle. Charleston People Demand Straight Prohibition. Charleston. S. C, April 22.?A new move in tbe fight against tbe enforcement of the dispensary liquor law which is to go into effect July 1st, was developed ere to-day. A meeting was held last night by a number of leading merchants and property holders to consider tbe sit? uation, tbe oounsel employed by tbe liquor dealers having advised that it would be useless to attempt to resist tbe law. Representatives of pretty nearly every society in the city were present and it was decided to send ciroulars to the freehold voters of tbe city requesting them not to sign the petition of any per? son applying for the position of State dispenser of liquor. Under the law a majority of the freehold voters of the city must sign the application of anyone ap? plying to be appointed a dispenser and the applicant must be a teetotaler. In Charleston there are, out of a population of 65,000, exactly 1,519 freehold voters, so tbat 760 of these must sign a petition in order to have a State bar-room opened here, The following is a copy of the cir? cular sent out by the meeting; "At a meeting of tbe presidents.of tbe various j societies and citizens of this city held at Turner's hall on the 2lst day of April, 1893, tbe following resolution was adopt- j ed: "Resolved, Tbat tbe presidents of tbe various societies be and are hereby re quested to urge upon their members and others to use their influence with freehold voters not to sign any petitions for creat? ing dispensaries in this city and County and tbat a copy of this resolution be sent to each society in tbe city and State."? Special to Greenville News. Fort Royal Unbottled. Savannah, Ga., April 23.?The decis? ion cf Judge Pardee in the case of the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad has been received. Mr. Averill was appoint? ed receiver of the Port Royal Road by the State Court and was directed by It to ap? ply to Recorder Comer, of the Cer'ral Railroad, for tbe possession of tbe proo erty. Averill asked tbe United States Circuit Courts to .order Comer to turn the oroperty over to him. * Tbe Port Royal Road is a fully organ? ized company and is not insolvent, but passed into receiver Comer'h possession as part of the Central Railroad, the Cen? tral owning the majority of its stocks and bonds. The Court orders Receiver Co? mer to turn the property over to the Port Royal and Augusta Company and dis? cbarges Receiver Comer. * NOV. TILLMAN'S REPLY. Xht All anco President cot a True R> for? mt r The report having lieen circulated that Governor Tillman had asked President Cleveland to not appoint Mr. M. L. Don? aldson toanoilice, sevoral County Alli? ances passed resolutions asking Gov? ernor Tillman to give his reasons for the action if the report were true. Below we give the resolutions passed by tbe Groen ville County Allianco and Governor Till mwi's reply as furnished the Cotton Plant: "Whereas it has been stated in the pub? lic press that Gov. B. R. Tillman had written a letter to President Cleveland in which be requested of tbe President that certain citizens of this State be not ap? pointed to any Federal office 'at botne and abroad:' and whereas the name of the Hon. M. L. Donaldson, the President of the Farmers State Allianco, is reported to have been one of those blacklisted by Governor Tillman: "Bo it resolved by the Greenville County Alliance in regular qnortorly meeting assembled, That not having seen any denial ?f said alleged blacklist, we deem it but just to the honored President of the State Farmers Allianco as well as to the order itself to take cognizance of the matter and take such steps as aro neces? sary to learn lrom Governor Tillman himself whether tbe public statements as to the blacklist referred to be founded on fact or not. "Resolved, That a committee of three member0, of this County Alliance be ap? pointed to communicate with Governor Tillman and request that he return an? swer whether the newspaper reports of said blacklist be true, and it true to fur? nish his reasons as given to President Cleveland for bis action towards M. L. Donaldson, our State President." Messrs. N. P. Whitraire, J. P. Plyer and J. H. Latimer committee. Gentlemen : I have your letter with the enclosed resolution passed by tbe Greenville County Alliance at its last meeting: "To communicate with Gov? ernor Tillman'and request that he return answer, whether the newspaper reports of said blacklist be true, ana if true to furnish his reasons, as given to President Cleveland, for his action towards M. L. Donaldson, our State President." Similar communications have been sent to me from the County Alliance of Pick ens and of Newberry, and I shall furnish this letter to the Cotta Plant as an an? swer to all: The effort appears to be made to link Mr. Donaldson as a citizen with Mr. Donaldson as president of the Alliance, and I premise my answer by saying that tbe Alliance has nothing to do with it, either directly or indirectly, except in so far as I felt justified in preventing its further betrayal. To answer your ques? tions categorically, I did ask Mr. Cleve? land not to appoint Mr. Donaldson to office. My reasons were these?and again they have no reference to Mr. Donaldson's private character, but to his public acts, and I disclaim any feeling of personal re? sentment or desiro to injure him : Last spring when delegates were elect? ed to the May State convention Mr. Don? aldson was repudiated by the Democracy of Greenville and he failed to be elected a delegate either to his County convention or to the State convention. He appealed to his friends in other parts of the State to help him retrieve his failing political fortune, and a small caucus of leading Alliancemen from other Counties went i to work and had him elected member of tbe national committee. It was presum? ed by the convention at least that he was in full sympathy with its opposition to Mr. Cleveland, and certainly he neither said anything to undeceive the men who voted for him. You are familiar with the instructions given our delegation to Chicago and our actions under those in? structions. We not only voted against Mr. Cleveland but worked against him, with two exceptions. Judge then our surprise on reaching Chicago to see Mr. Donaldson in open affiliation with the Cleveland leaders, striving with might and main to defeat tbe purpose of the con? vention which bad elected him on the national committee. Again, when the State Alliance met shortly afterwards, to my surprise I saw him president of the State Alliance. When I asked an explanation I was told that it was the only possible way to defeat the candidacy of an avowed "Third Party man," and that Mr. Donaldson had pledged himself not to seek any office, but to devote his energies to building up the Alliance. I was not surprised, how? ever, when two weeks later he entered the field as a candidate for State Senator from Greenville, feeling, I suppose, that tbe double endorsement of tbe State con j vontion In May and the State Alliance in July, would reinstate him at home. But tbe people of Greenville were true to themselves and be was not elected. It will thus be seen that Mr. Donaldson played false with the May convention by action at Chicago, and broke bis pledge, to the leading Alliancemen, not to seek office. Now, in addition to that, when I re? mind you that Mr. Donaldson, as Sena? tor, was tbe means of incorporating is the railroad bill in '91 tbe two objectiona? ble features which caused me to veto it you cannot be surprised at my action. It was upon his motion, at the suggestion as I was told of Bunch McBee, that tbe right of appeal to tbe courts was put in the bill. He also championed that fea? ture of tbe bill which kept the election of Railroad Commissioner in the hands of t ho General Assembly, contrary to the "March platform," thus showing his wil? lingness to stifle the will of the people. All of these things taken together are sufficient, as I take it, to warrant my op? posing his appointment as a representa? tive of the "Reform party" or of the Al? liance. Self-interest rather than patriot? ism appears to have governed his actions, und as the Alliance has been sidetracked I in nearly every other State by self-seek? ers, and has been seriously injuied in this State from the same cause, I could not conscientiously stand silent without pro? testing again?t bis being rewarded for treachery to the people and to the Alli? ance. Regretting the necessity which has forced a rehearsal of these undisputed facts, which of themselves ought to have prevented Mr. Donaldson's elevation to the position he holds, I will submit to tbe verdict of tbe Reformers and Alli? ancemen of tbe State astotbs wisdom and propriety of my action. Respect? fully.? 13. R. Tillman, Cotton Plant. Another Lynching In South Carolina. Denmark, S. C. April 24.?The excite? ment of the populace culminated at 9 o'clock, in tbe lynching of John Peterson by an infuriated mob of 500 persons, who filled his body with ballets while it dangled from a tree. There is every rea? son to believe that Peterson was inncent and that the mob :".n its fury wreaktd its vengeance on tbe wrong person. Peter? son had been Buspected of tbe crime and was hunted by tue country people and went to Columbia last Saturday and de? livered himself to the governor for his Erotection. The governor to-day turned im over to a constable to be taken to Denmark, and wired a deputy to have present the winessses whom Pe? terson could establish an alibi for him. Miss Baxter, as stated above, failed to identify Peterson as hor assaulter ; in faot she stated positively that he was not the man. After her father came to town and declared his daughter could not reoognize the man who assaulted her fire was added to flame. Somebody bad to die and some? body has died, Peterson was carried up the railroad track a short distance. A noose was .placed around his neck and it was tied to a bent sapling. Some one cried, "let 'er go," and the unfortunate man's body shot up into the air filled by a thousand bullets. Peterson's bands and feet were not tied and he must have swooned away before his neck cracked. Tho crowd stayed around awhile and fired bullets into the body and dispersed. Couumbia, S, C, April 24.?Governor Tillman's action in allowing Pet6rson to go before tbe mob in its frenzied condi? tion to be tried by Judge Lyuob's oourt is meeting with severe condemnation here. His action is regarded as having been an invitation to the mob to take the negro and pass upon his case in its own Yf&y.?DLijiatch to Atlanta Constitution. - . w? ? mm. > -New Attack on tbe Dispensary. Columbia, S. C, April 19.?A sensa tin was sprung in the fight against the dispensary bill to-day when Major Ham? ilton, oouusel for the Chester dealers, filed his rejoinder to tbe city council's answer. He charges the speaker of tho house of representatives with altering the bill after it had been pansed by the house, mak? ing changes ; that it had never acquired the force of law in the State because the original, wbioh was passed by both hou? ses, was al tered and changed by Ira B.

TUE SHERIFFS IN THE SOUP. Tho United States Supremo Court Against Them. Washington, D. C, April 24.?The supremo court has denied tho potition for a writ of habeas corpus in tho South Caro? lina railroad tax case. This decision leaves tho matter in tho hands of the South Carolina Federal courts and the sheriffs will have to stand the punish? ment orderod for contempt of court. . The decision was delivored by Chief Justice Fuller. The case came up on petition of Sheriff Tyler, of Aiken Coun? ty, for a writ of habeas corpus to release him from imprisonment under the judg? ment ol tbe circuit court of tbe United States; that he be fined ?500 for contempt. Ho had soized a train on the South Caro? lina railroad upon a warrant issued by the State authorities for collection of taxes, which were in the controversy. The road was in the hands of a receiver appointed by tbe United States court and be was adjudged guilty of contempt for failing to release the property under ordor of the court. He came to the su? preme court for rolief. Justice Fuller road an opinion contain? ing much stronger language than is usu? ally found in such documents, denying r,he application of the petitioner for the writ. He Raid the seizure of the property by force was unjustifiable and could not be defended. The claims of the State for taxes are not superior to tbe general rule which makes property placed in the hands of a receiver subject to tbe orders of tbe court; they are tobe determined in the regular way and in a proper man? ner. Tbe action of the circuit court, Chief Justice Fuller said, was in no sense an action against the State of South Caro? lina, which, it was concluded, could not be maintained under the eleventh amend? ment to the constitution. In conclusion he said tbe circuit court was equipped with the fullest power to protect its dig? nity and to enforce its mandates, and its use of these powers in the case in point could not be reviewed here.

Another Cyclone, Osaoe City, Kan., April 19.?About 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon one of the worst cylones which over visited Kansas struck this city and in a short time forty buildings were wrecked, several lives were lost and about twenty persons were seriouly injured, many of whom will probably die. The part of tbe city de? vastated lies on the south side of the tracks of tbe Santa Fe road and compri? ses both business and residence build? ings. Fully 100 houses, barns and stores in the suburbs were completely destroy? ed. The telegraph and telephone wires' are all down and the streets are lined with debris.

Meridian, Miss., April 20.?I have juBt returned from the regions so ruth? lessly laid to waste by tbe cyclone's fury last night. All along tbe route stalks grim despair. Woe and want are depicted on each face. Where but yesterday stood happy homes,, prosperous people and fertile farming lands, to-day appalls tbe eye as a blackened, blighted waste. Here a mother Bits over her rained household goods with a dead infant at her breast, forgetting in her grief nature's cravings. Again will be found persons wildly seek? ing relatives and friends who were blown away and have not since been beard from. For thirty long miles at intervals can be seen a heap of ruins, where once Btood a borne. At 7 o'clock last night tbe cloud quick? ly gathered and struck Barnett, Miss., on tbe New Orleans and North? eastern railroad, demolishing bouses and killing, carrying away and wound? ing people by scores. Over 100 houses are in ruins in the Immediate neighbor? hood. The house of William Risker, a mile from Barnett, wes carried away and the family of seven have not since been beard of. William Partin, bis wife and four chil? dren are all killed but tbe baby. Par tin's body was found six miles from Pa chula and a quarter of a mile on were found the dead bodies of bis wife and three children. Minerva Stevens' baby was blown a mile and killed. A child of Sam McGow an was blown away and for a mile was carried over - the tops of trees and its brains dashed out at the foot of a Etump. Isaac Aldrldge's borne was destroyed, but be and bis wife escaped with bruises. George McLaughlin'a residence, the fin? est in Jasper county, was destroyed, his family escaping with Blight bruises, but losing much valuable stock. Four ne? groes were killed on McLaughlin's place. Eleven negroes are known to have been killed in tbe vicinity of Barnett, but their names can not be learn? ed. At Quitman, Miss., twenty-six miles south of Meridian on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, the havoc wrought by last night's cyclone near that village is great? er than at first reported. The storm barely missed Quitman, passing two hun? dred yards north and tearing the timber around. Reports of casualties were still coming in. Though but few were killed outright, yet several of the wounded are not expeoted to liye. The following represent the victims living in a radius of five miles of Quit man : William Aldridge's homestead was blown completely away and Mrs. Al dridge received a fracture of tbe skull and flesh contusions bv flying timbers and has since died. Aldriage was seriously cut over the eye and Robert Aldridge, his son, bad bis face badly cnr. Six bead of cattLe were killed. Aldridge's daughter and a little girl escaped injuries.

B. P. Culpepper's bouse was blown away and bo received possibly fatal in? juries, heavy timbers striking him in the buck. The trees in the Chickasahay river swamp, which, for hugeness and density are seldom equalled, were uprooted, twisted and bent into all conceivable Bhapoa, a pathway varying in width from 300 yards to two miles being cut through the swamp. Three unknown negroes were found dead in the swamp a mile from Quit man. Mrs. Suttle, an aged lady, and a child of William Saunder were also kill? ed. She Held Up Her Han. Topeka, April 17.?Tho advocates of equal rights have cause to congratulate their sex upon another avenue recently opened to women, though there have been no bulletins sent out. A woman of Kansas City named Mario Pendry, which is probably one of her many aliases, took to tho road as a highwayman, or high waywoman. Her first venture was a financial success, but unfortunately for her enterprise she was captured, ana will now serve a two years' term in the peni? tentiary. The woman "held up" her man in the regular way, presenting a revolver to hja face and demanding "Hands up)" as he came around a corner, He obeyed, for there was very evidently shoot in her eyes, aad stood still while she rifled his pockets. Resenting this invasion of man's domain, as well as tbe loss of his money and watch, he hastened to tbe po? lice station as soon as he was released, snd a policeman found her. A woman in this city, a bright little leader of the equal rights movement, said; "Why not? I do not say, of course, that the calling she adopted was a right? eous one, but why was she any more to blame than a man under the same cir oumstances?" The Entire Family Killed. Warsaw, Ind., April 23.?At 11 o'clock yesterday, in Jackson township, nine miles southeast of this city, the eastbound express train on the Nickle Plato road, while running at a high speed and round? ing a sharp curve, struck a wagon con? taining the family of John S.

Washington, April22.?Fourth Assis? tant Postmaster General Maxwell stated to-day why he had not made more ap? pointments in South Carolina. "The fact of the matter is," he said, "that I cannot take up so much of my time in hearing the vurious factions wrangle ovor their local troubles. Just as soon as I catch up with tho resignations and got the vacancies filled, I will look into the trou? ble and begin to appoint in South Caro? lina." "In distributing tho offices, how are you going to be guided?" was asked. "You muy be sure the simon-pure Democrats will be recognized for their adherence to the principles of the party. I tbink my attitude on this matter ban been pretty well defined, and there is no necessity of defining my position again." Mr. Maxwell, more by his manner than his words, said that those who caused splits in the party and digressed from the principles of Democracy would, In common vernacular, not be "in it." Southern Democrats who have been howling over the protpects of a Republi? can being left in charge of postal affairs during the absence of Mr. Bissell were appeasod to-day by the appointment of William Duff Haine as First Assistant Postmaster General. Mr. Haine was tho Erivate secretary of Mr. Stevenson when e held the position of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, and made a record as a good axeman. He displaces Mr. Evans, of Chattanooga, one of the bitter? est Republicans of tbe South. Ex-Congressman Johnstone was met coming from the White House to-day. He said he had been calling on tbe Presi? dent in tho interest of his friends. He denied the story that he was an applicant for the District Attorneyship. "I could not," he said, "even accept it as long as those I came on to back are in the race." Mr. Johnstone refused to say, however, ?f hat he would do if the office was offered him, or if Mr. Schumpert would with? draw his name. In spite of Mr. John stone's persistent denials that he is a can? didate, bis friends say that Mr. Cleve? land has become impressed with tho ex Congressman, and will tender him the position.

Mr. Cook was at the store, posting his books at 11 o'clock last night. Search being made for him to? day, he was found lying in a pool of water about two miles from town and a half mile from the railroad. He had been shot four times with a 32 caliber pistol, but was still alive. He was brought to town and made his dying statement. He says he was work? ing on his books when two men came in and ordered him to throw up his hands, which he did. They rifled tbe safe of 91,000. Tbey then ordered him to walk before them, saying that tbey would not hurt him, but when tbey reached the swamp two miles from town they fired four bullets into him and laft him for dead. The Skulls at Malren Hill. "I think the ghastliest sight I ever saw," said Sheriff Barnes, "was during tbe late war on the field of Malvern Hill. I was in the battle and a more terrific en? gagement I never witnessed. But that is not the exact time to which I refer. About a year after the battle was fought my regiment was ordered out into the neigh? borhood of the same old field. We went over tbe same old ground, and there in the open field, exposed to the torrid sun, were bleaching the bones of our com? rades who fell in that awful engagement. It was a sight I shall never forget. On every side lay a waste of skulls?skulls of almost every shape and size?a modern Golgotha. "We could not identify them, howev? er, and could only gaze with a feeling of sorrow on the aggregate pile of human headB that had once been full of life and feeling. After the deeper emotions ex? cited by tbe spectacle had worn away I thought of the infinite variety of shapes that were presented by the heap. There were no two of tbe same shape or size, and it was rather a matter of curious though melancholy interest to inspect the different skulls as they lay crum? bling in tbe sultry atmosphere of that August day.?Atlanta Constitution.
