THE END CAME ON LAST FRIDAY The General, Who Had Just Celebrated His 84th Birthday, Succumbs to Valvular Disease of the Heart. Columbia, S.. C., Special.?General Wade Hampton died Friday morning it It o'clock frcm valvular disease of tItc licatt. The general had just passed his s?th hirtliday. Twice this winter he has had attacks that have greatly weakened him. but he rallied wonderfully on both occasions. He was out iriving a week aco. hut it was evident his strength was deserting him. Tito Governor issued this proclanta- i lien: "Whereas, the Hon. Wade Hampton. j a former Governor of South Carolina and I'nitod States Senator, died at his li me in Columbia. Friday morning at 10 minutes before 9 o'cjock, full of years and of honor; therefore. 1. M. B. M' Sweeney. Governor of South Carolina. in view of his services to his people and his country through his long honored career and in further re- I ognition of his broad statesmanship and t"tie nobility of character and his j patriotism and devotion to duty and j his State, do request that on tomori\ w, Saturday, all public offices in the State of South Carolina he closed, and is a further testimonial to his worth that the Hags of the State and of the United States he put at half mast on ho State Capitol and all other public buildings in the Stat:* and remain in I that position until the funeral services ' are held." The family objected to a State funtral. Bells were tolled in all the towns ; wh n the news was received and many ?ch Is were closed. Gen. Wade Hampton, son of the second Wade, was born in Columbia. S. ('.. in ISIS. He was graduated at the University of South Carolina, and af- i terward studied law. but without the intention of practicing. Under his father's flaining lie became a good horseman, a famous hunter and an nc- j roiupiiHiuMi nsinTinaii. in* i ??- } the Legislature of South Carolina in ' parly life, but liis political views were those of a Democrat of a national rather than of a secessional tendency, aiuf were not popular in his State. His speech against the re-opening of the slave trade was called hy the New York Tribune "a masterpiece of logic." His earlier life, however, was devoted to his plantation interests in South Carolina and Mississippi and to the pursuits of a man of fortune. When the Civil war began. Hampton first, enlisted as a private, but soon raised a command of infantry, and ar- ' artillery, which was known as "Hamp- . ton's Legion." and won distinction in the war. At Bull Run. 600 of his infantry held for some time the Warrenton road against Key's corps, and was sustaining Gon. Ree when Jackson came to their aid. In the Peninsular campaign they were again distinguished and at Seven Pines lost half of liieit number, and Hamilton himself received n painful wound in the foot. Soon afterward he was made Brigadier Ger.er- j al of Calvary .and assigned to (ion. .1. K. i B. Stuart's command. He was frequently selected for detached service, in which be was uncommonly successf?il in the Maryland and Pennsylvania c ampaigns of 1862 and 1863 Hampton was actively engaged, and he distinguished himself at Gettysburg, receiving three wounds. It i^ said that 21 out oi w.c neici oincers. anu more man half the men of (Icn. Hampton's command were killed or wounded In this battle. He was made a major-general i with rank from the third of August. In 1804. after several days' fighting ; he gave Sheridan a check at Trevillian's station, which broke up the plan o campaign that included a junction with Hunter and the capture of Lynch- i burp. In 23 days he captured over 000 prisoners and much material of war w til the loss of 710 men. He was mailr commander of Lee's cavalry in August, with rank of lieutenant general. and In September struck the rear o:' the National army at City Point. bringing away 400 prisoners and 2.480 I heovcs. Soon afterward, in another action ho lapturod five hundred prisoners In one of these attacks he lost his son in battle. Hampton v as then douched to take command of Gen. Joseph P. Johnston's < avalry and did what he could to arrest the advance of Sherman's army north. word of Savannah In the spring of 186.1. After the unfortunate burning of Columbia, S. C.. on its evacuation by the Confederates, a sharp discussion arose between (Jen. Hampton and Oen. Sherman, each charging the other with , the willful destruction of the city. After the war he at once engaged in cotton planting, but was not successful. 1W< accepted from the first all the legitimate onsequences of defeat, an entire submission to the law. and the civil and political equality of the negro; but he hr.<J steadily dcfcDtled the motives . and conduct of his people and their leaders. In 18t!6, speaking of the negro ho said: As a slave he was faithful to 1 us; as a freeman let us treat him as a friend: deal with him frankly, justly, kindly." During the reconstruction period Hampton's conciliatory policy found little favor fair eorne time, but in 187*1 he was nominated for Governor against Daniel H. Chamberlain. Each claimed to be elected and trwo governments were organized, hut Mr. Chamberlain finally yielded iiis claim. In 1S7N he met witli an accident l)v which he lost a leu: but. i\hile his life was despaired of. he was elected to the United States Senate, and he served until 1892. In the Senate his course was that of a oinserrative Democrat, lie advocated a sound currency, resisting all iut?;;tion. He advocated with much zeal the nomination of Thomas A. Bayard for the President y. In 1992 tier.. Hampton was defeats ! for the Senate by the now senior Senator. Benjamin It. Tillman, and he has since then led a quiet life at his country home just outside the city limits of Columbia. In the early spiing Senator John McLaurin offered the postmastersliip of Columbia to (?ea. Hampton, who promptly refused it. | RAM'S HORN BLASTS+ / f y* HE greatest fault I a" is to "e (:on* ryC^1^ JL scions otf no fault, v^. > /j?\ fQ Love ilows over I' /^-J the lines: of liking. * PisBah is always J* IlD^^6\ :1 'iartl liill to 1Brightest hopes itirof u VttrAwl da\\"u on darkest When grain ripnSu"_j^jSC/ ens moonlight / ^V"V2Et? the soul' will he ^ 3 ' saved by culture.

' DIED SliDDFNLY SATURDAY NIGHT Few Hen Have Won Higher Fame in the Pulpit or on the Platform His tlreat Work Finished. Washington, Special.?Rev. T. DeWit Talmage. the noted Presbyterian divine, died at nine o'clock Saturday night at his residence in this city, it had been evident for some days that there was no hope of recovery and the attending physicians so informed the family. The patient gradually grew weaker until life passed away so quletj ly that even the members of the i family, all of whom were watching at the bedside, hardly knew that he had gone. The cause of death was inhumation of the brain. Dr. Talmage was in poor health when lie started away from Washington to Mexico for a vacation and rest six weeks ago. He was then suffering from influenza and serious catarrhl conditions Since his return in Wash ington some time ago lie has been quite ill. Until Thursday, however, fears for his death were not entertained. The last rational words uttered by Dr. Talmage were on the day pre! ceding the marriage of his daughter, when he said: "Of course I know you, Maud." At Dr. Ta I mage's bedside, besides his wife, were the following members of his family: Rev. Frank DeWit Ta' I mage. Chicago: Mrs. Warren G. Smith, . Brooklyn; Mrs. Daniel Mangum. Brooklyn; Mrs. Allen K. Donnan. Itiehmond: Mrs. Clarence Wycofi and Miss Talmage, Washington. While arrangein nts for the funeiul have not been llnally completed. the family have about decided to have j the remains taken to the Church of i the Covenant here on Tuesday, whet" ; services will he held. The body will then be conveyed to Brooklyn, where interment will he made in the family plot in Greenwood cemetery probably on Wednesday. Race Fight in INew York. New York, Special.? Negroes and whites clashed Friday night in the heart of the Tenderloin district and as a result some 12 or IT. of the former i were badly beaten up. The cause of this small-sized race riot was the j shooting of Holmes Kasley, a young | negro, by a bicycle policeman. Kasley had some trouble in the neighborhood and was pursued by a crowd. He drew a razor and threatened a policeman who tried to arrest him. The officer drew liis revolver. Kasley ran and the policeman shot him, the bullet lodging in the negro's log. A crowd of negroes gathered and threatened the policeman, but they were dispersed by a squad of officers. The wounded negro was removed to a hospital, but for some time afterward there were clashes between negroes and whites on the surrounding streets. No more serious injuries were reported. A Sunday Hull l-ight. El Paso, Tex.. Special.?The battle at Jaurcz. Mox., between a Xumidian lion and a wild Samalaynca bull, was witnessed by thousands of people from all over the Southwest and Mexico. One-fourth of the spectators in the amphitheatre were American women. The battle continued fiercely for one houn The bull was not fatally hurt, but the lion was gored 2-*? times and will doubtless die. His leg was broken and lie was completely vanquished in strength and spirit. When the; lion was incapitated the Mexican authorities ordered the bat tie to be discontinued. Heavy Rain and Hail Houston, Tex., Special.? A heavy rain accompanied by hail and in some sections a high wind, prevailed over ' south Texas Sunday. The rain is of great benefit, though it does not thoroughly relieve the drought. The hail has done great damage in the aggregate though no one section tni suffered severely. Favorable to Park Kescrvatioi Washington. Spatial.?Representaj tive Moody, of North Carolina reported from the House committee en agriculture the bill establishing .1 National Forest Reserve in the mountain forest regions of Virginia. West Virginia North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The bill carries an appropriation of $10,000,000, til which $2,000,000 is immediately available. The report sets forth the need of preserving this region and argues that the national government is the only power to conduct a work of thin mynityje. JtL. | MINOR EVENM THE WEEK WASHINGTON ITKMS.
