HAMPTON IS DEAD.
Famous South Carolinian Passes to
His Reward.
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.

DR. TALMAGE DEAD.
Noted Pulpit Orator Peacefully Passed
Away.
' 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.

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,
