A Former Florentine Charged with a Ser ious Crime in far oflTexaa. Del Rio, Val Verde Co., Texas, November 23.—B. C. Pawley of South Carolina who was married on Thursday night to a young lady of Del Rio, was arrested yesterday on a charge of bigamy. The affi davit alleges that he has a wife living in Dallas. He was arraigned before Judge Walton Gillis, who set the case for hearing next Wednesday, Nov. 25, and admitted Pawley to bond for his appear ance in the sum of $1,000. Im mediately after court had adjourn ed a telegram was received from the sheriff of Smith county Judge Gillis promptly re-opened court and reconsidered the ques tion of hand, and recommitted Pawley to the custody of the sheriff without bond until to-day when it was expected he would give another decision in regard to the bond question. But up to this afternoon no decision has been rendered and Pawley is still in jail without bond. The affair has created the wildest excitement in Del Rio, and society is shocked beyond measure. The young lady he married here is the daughter of oue of the oldest settlers in Del Rio and her father is a man of wealth and high standing.—Dallas Morning News. Mr. B. C. Pawley was born and aud reared in Florence. He was prom inent in Jlhe ^citing ji»ys of 1876 and 78 and was chiefly in strumental in the capture of An drew Woods, a notorious negro desperado.

New Orleans, November 26.— Mr. Robert Kennady, manager of Thomas Lynch, while attempting to cross the street at Tulane ave nue at the start of the bicycle road races, was knocked down by a wheel ridden by A.

Williams is Himself Badly Cut— An old Political Feud* the l^use. Troy, Nov. 30.—The usually quiet community of Liberty Hill, in Edgefield county, was terribly shocked on Sunday afternoon when the news spread that Mr. Leon J. Williams had shot and killed Messrs. L. D. aud J. V. White, brothers. The particulars leading to the killing date back to the election in 1894. Mr. Williams was then a candidate for the legislature and reports were circulated detrimeu- tal to his character. Mr. Williams was informed that Mr. L. D. White was responsible for these reports, but matters were kept quiet till the canvass of 1896, when Mr. White was a candidate for the legislature. A short while before the election letters very damaging to Mr. White were received by different parties in the county ; by chance one of the letters fell into White’s bands, and he saw that Mr. Wil- litms was the author. The con tents of the letter were of such a nature that Mr. W^hite thought a retraction and apology necessary and he so stated to some W his friends. Friends of both parties then went to work to try to amel iorate matters and it was thought that the differences were partially settled or so much so that trouble would be avoided, but it seems that this was not to the satisfac tion <f Mr. J. V. White, who championed his brother’s cause, and kept the matter agitated. The union meeting at Bethany church yesterday was an occasion when the surrounding country turned out en masse and it was the first time the principals in the tragedy had met. Just after ser vices Mr. J. V. White approached several gentlemen and roM them that he expected to have a con versation with Mr. Williams and would like them to be present, but he was told that it was neith er the time nor place and to let it alone, and no more was thought of it. All except a few had left the grounds, aud Mr. Williams, in this morning when he died ; he had a pistol in his pocket but did uot draw it at all. He stated be fore his death that he could have killed Mr. Williams had he cared to. Mr. Williutne received a severe cut across the temple and it was thought that he would bleed to death before a physician could r '‘ ac h him, but he is now resting well and is considered out of dan ger. * He is an ex-member of the leg islature and is now a member of the State dispensary board of con* trol. He is well known in many parts of the State and has hosts of friends. The bodus of the dead men had not been removed from the church this morning Their sad deaths are doubly deporable as each leaves a wife and children entirely dependent upon them for support. Both were Masons and will be buried to-morrow at Bethany, the scene of the difficulty, by the Mc Cormick lodge.—The State. OUR CITY SCHOOLS C. H. Barringer, Proprietor BLASTING OUT SNOW. u The Hub." Dynamite Used to Clear Ice Blocked Tracks. Ir'urllier Koports From tin* Frozen Region Show the Damage to be Very Great. St. Paul, Min., Nov. 30.—Re- xirts of damage done by the late storm, which are beginning to come in, show that the damage is greater than at first supposed. The railroads a-o still badly han- dicanped, but hope to be running by Wednesday. The body ot Thomas Anderson, who perished in the storm near Moorehead, was found this morn ing near the home of the young lady whom he had escorted home through the blizzard. The ihermometer registered 5 degrees below zero in this city at midnight. With two rotary plows working out of Fargo on the North ern Pacific since Saturday morn- ng, a train snowed in five milts east of Valley City was reached at 10 o’clock this morning. Only mile was cleaned yesterday by the rotaries. The drifts in cuts are 6 to 14 feet deep and are frozen like ice mixed with sand. Dynamite is used to loosen up this snow. The southwestern branch to Lis bon and Edgely is still frozen up .and people in the towns along the o’clock this afternoon, it was still snowing fast, with no indications of clearing weather.

Small towns along the main line of the Northern Pacific are out of fuel. The Northern Pacific is still blockaded near Bis marck. Its coast train, which should have reached Minneapolis on Thursday, is stuck in a snow drift at New Salem, 40 miles west of Bismarck and cannot move un til a snow plow clears the track. In some deep cuts snow is drifted on the track to a depth of 50 feet. A coal famine prevails and there will be much suffering unless re lief is offered at once. Engineer Wynne’s engine ran down to the tank at Stephen, Minn., for water and fud Thurs day night with tho cars only 1,000 feet away. The storm filled the track behind them and engineer and fireman were compelled to stay at the tank. No oue dared rust himself i n the weather and during the entire night, the two worked to keep tho engine alive and shoveling snow in the hope of getting back to the train.

In the course of the term there will now be three examina tions—one in December, one in March and one in June. Failure in any one of these examinations necessarily prevents promotion or graduation in June. A pupil who fails at the December examination will not be permitted to continue in his class, but must fall to a lower grade. Only those who show requisite preparations will be allowed to continue in the grade to which they at present belong. In view of this change I mast courteously and earnestly request the parents to co-ooperate with me in requiring the constant and regu lar attendance ol the pupils.

When J. V. White said something about the letters that had been written during the last canvass, Mr. Wil liams replied that he thought the matter had been settled and if they were not satisfied they would have to act. White then cursed him and shook his fiat in Williams’ face, whereupon the latter knock ed him down. When White arose he had his pistol in his hand and before ary] one could interfere,'Williams drew and fired, shooting his antagonist through the heart, killing him in stantly. L. D. White'then began cutting Williams about the head and face when he turned his gun and shot the second White twice in the stomach and in each arm.
