- CHIT: DAWSON F~ILLED. slaver locked himself np with his victim for'nearly three hors. It is possible ;h.tha1 hui iuLtone help after tiring. ,the fatal shot something might have been d'one, at least to prolong the life of his victim-at least to allow hum to be shriven. But, according to the mur derer's own statememnit, the shot was not instantaneously fatal. hlis victim lived nearly an hon-, during which time the murO rcxr remained in th' room, decid ing w%,at to do about it. It is proven .tbat aftyr Captaia 1awson died, he went ,tether corner shop, bought a spade, and. returned to his house, again locking himself up with the murdered man. In the meantime Mrs. McDow and her children had fled. Having bought the spade.the murderer started to dig a grave in which' to bury his victim. It was found that he had made an efor: to dig the grave, but that, finding that the soil-(as is most of the soil in that locality) was of made earth-i. . coin posed of debris of various kinds-he gave up the attempt. Then helnailed up atlie oors leading to the grave, straight ened out the ofiice furniture and stir rendered himself to the police. The murderer was in company with his vie tim from about 3:30. p. in. till 6:50 p. In., over three hours. -Captain Dawson's face was badly battered up, while the face of his Inur dere; shQwed no signs of a conflict. His .statement is that Captain Dawson as saulted him; but the appearance of the faces of the two men does not bear out the-theory. The-opinion is rapidly gain ing ground that it was a most diabolic and cold-bloosed murder, and those who visited the scene think that Captain Dawson was first felled to the ground and then deliberately murdered. McDow is not in good standing with the profession. He is a native of Ker shaw County, is about 36 years old, and came here in 1876 to attend the Medical College, whence he graduated with first honors. He served as house physician to the city hospital for two years. and afterwards opened an office and began practicing his profession. Be made ap plication for membership to the State Medical Society, but was black-balled or a'least withdrew his . application .the charge being that his conduct was 'unethical." Later he married a ..daughter of Mr. C. D. Ahrens, a wealthy tierehant, who retired fromlbusiness two years ago. It seems that last month he sewnred his eleetion to membership in the State Medical Society, although his renutation was bad. His intrigues were known to his wife, 'andshe was about to quit him when this murder was done. It is learned from the Chief of Police thatie. ad been engaged in an intrigue wit the inaid -brought here by Captain Dawson,. and that it was to remonstrate -agains this that Captain Dawson had c1 1Wru . .That Captain.)awson da with intent to assault him is proven by the fact that the mur dered man was entirely unarmed, and that when the body was found the gloves were on his hands. pp aneml of eaptain .Dawson took pTce this afteinoon. The weather was wretched It'is 'a -little singular that very siortly after. the n.murder was dis is' nigtaheavy wind and ram storm set in. This continued all day. Thet ielatookplace -this afternoon at -the Cathedral Chapel. Notwithstand igthsvere storm, - the- church was ade tlhosiaaiy and, in addition to this, the entire city seemed to have turned out to honor the memory of a tpan:who .was ruthlessly slain by a libertie- -iagi~tts to protet't the honor menial in his household. The se cswere conducted by Bishop Nor fpof the; Diocese- of Charleston, *ho tieasestd by Bishop John Moore of the Diocese of St. Augustine, Florida. All the Catholic clergy of the diocese were itte. sanctuary. The Sisters of Mercy, the ladies of the "Convent of Our Lady of Mercy" and the orphans *undeigtheir charge. attended the funeral. Bishop Northrop delivered the eulogy. -eraile attention to the fact that the " had always i&ee a con ' bf the cliur'eb.' He al lueto the fact, as developed in the statemnteof -the murderer, that the de ceased had lived for nearly an hour after the fatal shot had been nired. "Knowing th -3!%id Bishop.Northrop, "lying in insesce Of his murderer, within almost the sight of his wife and chil dren, with-.nopody by him but the man wsho had taken his life, I am satisfied that those last moments were devoted to the purpos~e of making his peace with his God." The're has never been in the history of this city'such a funeral as that of F. W.1%on o-day.' In spite of the rain stqgm~gg~is[3 e e~tird.'population tnrned out to do honor to the memory of the-nian so foully murdered. Flags -were displayed at half-mast over the public buildings in the city, the .conmiemial exchanges and on many of the ships in the. harbor. The streets of the city along which the funeral proces sion passed were thronged with citi zens, :who braved the rain and wind and turned out en masse to pay a last tribute of respet .to the memory of a manl fho haa ben slain in the defense of a woman's honor. The inquest on the body will be held to-morrow. The murderer is stifl in jail. The community is very much excited, and should McDow be brought out of the jail to-morrow to attend the inquest he will certainly be lynched. It has transpired since the murder that McDow had a housekeeper in his home with whom it is said he had had intimate relations, and it is also said that this woman was the instigator of his attempt to bury the body in the premises and to conceal the crime. Neither this woman nor the French maid, in defense of whose honor Cap tain Dawson was murdered, have beeareted, but both are accessible to the authorities. .As an incident of the afiair, it is learned that before the nmurdier Mrs. McDow andl her children had priepa:red to leave the house of the mnur .er and to retu'rn to her fathecr's i. ,isc. It seems that Mr. Ahrens, the nmier of MN~. McDow. had beerslivin:t with his daughter and her husband and family for some time, but in 'consequee of Me Dow's libertinism, he had nuov.'d some time ag, 'has face and head of the mturderedl man were badly bruised and s:-atched. The theory now is that the b~ra i-s an~d scratches wvere caused by the at::empt of the murderer to bury the' body. There is nothing more to be said. The murdered man is buried, and the enTt ire city is in mourning- Ji. A. M. -Dr. McDow Interviewed. Char'eston& World of Wdn'day, A w-'mihutes before a o'clock in the evening, a reporter for the World went to the jail to see Dr. McDow and gct his version of the tragedy. Dr. McDow had not arrived yet. Whil the reporter was waitintg outside on the sidewalk, with a view to seeing I the Doctor as quickly as possibly and an nouncing his mission on behalf of the Word, a vehicle was heard coming to wards the jail. The vehicle was alongside of the pave ment. and proved to be the well-known Black Maria. or police wagon. In a few seconds Detective Jolma Hogan alighted in the roadway near tie sidlewalk, and quickly afterwards Dr. Melow stepped out of the wagon to the sidewalk. Subsequently Deteclives James Hogan and Mi. J. Me.\anus got out of the wanon. Deteettve .Janles Miler. who was standing in the vicinity of the jail. joined the custodians of Dr. MeDow, who was han-cufYed, and they were admitted to the jail by Capt. James Kelly. ')r. McDovr went into Captain Kelly's oflice and requested one of the detectives --Mr. MeManus-to go for some cigars. The cigars were soon forthcoming. but not being of the quality the l)oetor liked. they were exchanged. The i)octor lit one of the eigars an(I walkei up and down the olice floor smoking. As soon as the reporter and Dr. McDow were riis-a-ris, the reporter said "Doctor, I represent the irorld, and would like to have your statement of the difficulty between yourself and Cap tain Dawson." The reporter went to Captain Kelly's desk, opened his note book and asked the Doctor to state his case. Tip. D)oetor was very much excited, but was told that all that. was wanted wi a clear and connected relation of the circumstances attending the shoot mug. The Doctor b(gan to make his state ment. but was not connected in his re marks. He was asked to be calm and self-possessed, and only mention what occurred, without any comment. 'Well, sir," said the Doctor. "I was standing in the vestibule of my office, 75 Rutledge street. West side, the sec ond house from the corner of Bull, at about 3 o'clock this afternoon, when a gentleman approached me and inquired if I was Dr. MleDow. .Yes,' I responded, ' I am I)r. Mc Dow.' 'I am Captain Dawson." .Walk in, Captain,' whereupon Cap. tain Dawson entered my office. As soon as he was well inside he said: "'Dr. McDow, you have been using ungentlemanly language to one of my servants. "This I denied. The Captain contin ued. '"I forbid.you speaking to her.' 'I will speak to her when 1 please,' 1 re plied. PlIf you speak to her I will publish you in the paper.' 'If you do I will hold you personally responsible. I shall speak to her until you show me that you have proper authority to prevent me.' 'As soon as 1 uttered these words Captain Dawson. who was standing in front of me, struck me a staggering blow on the chest, which caused me to fall back over my lounge and strain my back. "I endeavored to get up, and while struggling to do so Captain Dawson gave me a cut across my head with a cane. i denting my hat and causing me to stag ger agai. "While trying to recover myself, and seeing him in the act of aiming another blow at me with his cane, I managed to go around to my desk and get my pistol, a self-cocking five shooter of 36 or 38 calibre. -As soon as I got the pistol in my hand, and burning under the blows I had received by fist and cane, and espe illy the latter. I fired at Captain I )aw son,'and I thought strtick him some where in the chest. "He staggered and fell in a North westerly direction on my office floor, beside .the table, near by which he had been ' talkmg. He fell heavily to the floor. "He was breathing hard when I leaned over him and raised him up. My first thought was to go out and call in some physicians, and see the extent of the wound, and, if possible, resuscitate "Hlowy many shots were fired C" in quired the reporter. "Only one. As soon as he fell. I ceased shooting." "Did you leave your office immedi ately?" "No; in the excitement of the mo ment, caused by the shooting, and re motely by a little unpleasantness I had just had with my wife, I did not act at once. - Not long after, however. I got my buggy to carry out the purpose of calling in medical aid, and drove to the corner of Bull and Rutledge streets. On arriving there I saw Policeman Gordon. whom I told I had shot Captain Dawson. '"With the policeman I then drove to Judge Ma'grath's&and afso to Mr. Julian Mitchell's. Neither one was in. I con cluded it was best, under the circum stances, to deliver myself to the authori ties, and went to the central station, where I surrendered myself. "Subsequently Judge Magrath called and saw me. I engaged him. as my counsel, and shall also engage Mr. Julian Mitchell." "Do0 you know where your ball took effet?" "No. I suppose, however, in the heart, for it was nearly on a level with my pistol when I fired." "Had you ever had any previous words with Captain Dawson?" "None whatever ; 1 scarcely knew him." "What did you suppose was his pur pose. when lie accosted you in tile vesti bule of your office?" "I really dict not divine. Being a hysician, I thought lie might want to see me. As soon as he entered the office, however. I saw lie was in a ter rible state of excitement, in fact was shakingall over, atnd his voice, when he spoke lower, was very tremulous. "This is all that occurred, and I have, endeavored to state the facts clearly. I regret the occurrence greatly, and as. greatly regret the necessity of what has been done. "I was (deeply indignant that a man sould conic into my ollice and strike me: andI worse, that hie should undertake to Cane mei. No nman of courage n ouild stad that." 'Did you know the person you were accused of talking ungentlemanly toC" "'Yes, somewhm: by pr-acticiag and li-ing in thc neighborhood." "Had you ever conversed with her?" "Onlvin a chatty way-. She spoke Frech, and I sometimes would apply, some French phrase to beir." "Anything itregularr" "No, I only spoke in a pleasant way." While talkiug to the JWorl representi atie Dr.. McDow at times stood near the desk and then would walk otT and pace the floor. His excitemient was very noticeab~le, and he was disposed to i-amble in his con versation, andl break the chain of the narrative. He did not seem to mind the blow as.sault seemed to fire him up, and every now and then he would stand up and de.cant on the unmanliness that would brook "sueh an insult." as he vehe in ntly denounced it. The reporter hav ing read his notes over with the doctor, and he having expressed his determina tion not to say any more on the subject until he could advise with his counsel, the reporter withdrew. BIOGRAPHY OF THE DoCTOIR. Dr. Thomas Ballard Mclow was horn in Camden, Kershaw County, thirty-six vears ago. lie was primarily educated in his native County, and at a matrieut lating a; ge entered the Cumberland Vni versity, at Lebanon. Tennessee. There he iursuedt a course of medical study. and graduated with the first honor of his class in 1874. Subsequently he came to Charleston, and became a student. at the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, located in this city, and graduated with considerable merit, being the valeditor inn of his class, composed of bright ma teri.l. His standing in the college eni titled him on graduation to a position as one of the physicians of the city hos p'tal, and there he served until his term expired. Afterwards lie established himself in this city, and has been prae ticing here ever since, and was getting into professional business. Some years ago he married -lie only daughter of Mr. C. D. Ahrens. the well-to-do retired grocery merchant on King street. One child is the result of the marriage. He is about five feet seven inches high. and weighs, probably, 130 pounds. le is a brunette, and has features some what strongly marked-the nose being slightly inclined to Roman. He wears a deep brown mustache, cut close to his lip. His manner is decided, and not without the graces of good origin and culture. lie is a son of Dr. R. S. McDow, who is a practicing physician of Lancaster. in this State. His attire is in keeping with taste and professional require iments. Last night he telegraphed to his father, requesting himi to come to this city. Mrs. MeDow and her child, soon after the fatal occurrence, went to the Way erly House, King street, where her father resides. Two Hours With the Dead. From the time of the shooting, which occurred according to the recollection of the majority of the witnesses, about twenty minutes of 4 o'clock, to the time that Dr. MeDow gave himself up to the police, he was atont two hours and a half in the company of the dead. He says himself that after the fatal .lot was tired he remained in the offiee for some time with the head of his victim in his lap. It is fair to suppose, from the condition in which the office was found, that.he had spent some of that time in putting the office to rights, and the rest in consultation with his wife and ar ranging his papers. All of his pockets were emptied. His keys were left in a drawer in the office, and everything put to rights with the strictest nicety. Mrs. Melow went immediately to her father. She was not questioned con cerning the matter at all. Her situa tion was respected by everybody. During the entire time that the body was in Dr. 'McDow's office there was an immense crowd in Rutledge street, around the door. They were very quiet, but greatly excited, and the police with difficulty kept a passageway clear for those who were obliged to use it. The News Broken to the Family. Capt. Dawson had been dead for sev eral hours before the dreadful news was broken to the stricken family. Tfhis was (one in the gentlest manner possible by a particular friend, but the agony of the (evoted wife and the young children was most pathetic. Among the crowds in the street there were a number of Captain Dawson's friends, for he had many. They were bitter in their denunciation of Dr. Me Dow for what they termed a most heart less and cold-blooded mur-der. Many of them wvere weepmng for, they loved the (ead ddarly. TERRIFIC BOILER EPPLOSION. Five Men Killed and a Dozen Others Se r-iously Injured. PITTsBURG, March 14.-A batiery of boilers at the West Point boiler works of R. Monroe & Sons., corner Twenty-third and Smallman streets, ex ploded shortly after 12 o'clock this after noon, completely wrecking the plant and buring a number of men in the ruins, and'five have been taken out dead and three badly injured. and there are still a numer in the ruins. A dozen others were quite seriously injured, many of them, it is thought, fatally.. Three emplosions,. oeeurred, just after the noon whistle had sounded a'nd 'many of the workmen had left the works to get their dinners. The concussion shook the buildings for several squares. The works were completely wreckedi. The loss is about $20,000. The boilers were inspected six months ago aiid were thought to be mn first-class condition. The real cause of the explosion will probably be never knowvn, as the engin eer was killed outright, and no one else has been found who was in the engine room at the time the disaster took place._____ Seeking Clemency for Lynchers. A printed circular, 1,000 copies of which will be circulated through the city to-day, states that at a meeting of colored resi dents of Columbia held on the 12 inst. the (death sentence pronounced up)on two colored men found guilty of part icipa tion in the lynching of Waldrop in Pickens County was considered, and resolutions adopted looking to the peti tioning of the Gov-ernor for clemency. The circular sets forth that the lynch ing of Waldrop wvas for outraging an in nocent colored girl and causing her death. Thme resolutions ur-ge prominlent colored men, ministers of the gospel and all good, fair minded white men, to consider the matter and join in taking the necessary steps to appeal to Gov. Richardson to use his executive power to have the lives of the two convicted men spared. Those who consent to join in the movement are urged to send in the petitions by April 1st, as the men convicted are sentenced to be hanged on the 5th of that month. The; name~ of Irin J.

They had tickets for only twenty-eight men, and what to (o wit tithe remain nug nine was a pro>blem that confronted the conductor: lie told them they would ha ve to either pay their fare or get off. They said they would try to raise the required inmount iby the ine th e train realied 1ock Hill 'and they p1roceeded to take ipl a suiscrintion. Twenty-nine doliars and sixty cents was the amount wanted, and from the number of five and ten cent subscriptions made at the start, it was evident that the snum would not be fort Icoming. One of the officers put up as much as five dollars. but the effort to raise twenty-nite dollars and sixtv cents failed. The eondue'or was in a quandary. The surnlits soldiers manifested n1o diS position to get o1.l. The company was together in ote of the rear cars, and the conductor saw Ihat a resort to force would be futile. His fertile brain then volved a great scheme. 1?e told the soldiers that the car which they occupied would have to he side tracked at a way station, and, having stopped the train at the station. he told them to go into a forward car. They started in, and as soon as twenty-eight of them had gotten in the ear, as directed, the conductor slammed the door and locked it. leaving nine outside. Three of them paid their fare and were admitted, leaving six outside. Without detaching the hindmost ear, the train was backed a short distance ti the track, and then moved forward again, passing the six at a speed so rapid that they could not get ton. As they saw the train rapidly gliding away from them, they got on the track, and, with muskets on their shoulders started in the wake. The witness of the scene who related the story to a reporter of the ChronieIe said that the spectale of the six troopers marching the railroad was one of the most comical of his experience. Com itg back towards Charlotte the follow ing eveningr he found the troopers at Chester. After takmrg his mt-asures to get rid of the six who hadn't paid, the conlu-c. tor told the members of the company still on the train to go back to the car they had left. They did so with the ex cepion of one of the otiieers, whose wife was with him. These two r-matined in the forward car. When the train reaeaed Columbia. the rear car was transferred to the South Carolina road, to go to Charleston, and as the officer and his wife were not on it, they got left and had to wait for the next train for Charleston.--C/arlott Chronicle.
