Tillman I |bftt he refused to pnblish it un !? would allow the alitor of his ! to know the author. He told n that that was the opening gun campaign next year against n's and Jrby's leadership of the no movement. He further 3aid the following slate had~ been ar ged and agreed upon: that Gen Butler was to run for re-election the Senate jShell was to be supported the Conservatives, or antis, and llder Reformers for Governor; and t he (General Farley) was to run r Congress in Shell's district. He they would like to get Talbert to the combination. but thai it could not be f arranged unless George Tillman would agree to let upon and support Talbert. and;, in that way, get the Con servatives to support Talbert for re election. Farlev offered Tillman a place on the ticket as Adjutant and Inspector General if he would go to his father and make the arrangements by which he would not oppose but support Talbert's re-election. {At this time every one in Washington knew that the Governor and Colonel Tillman were not on speaking terms.) I asked Mr. Tillman what his reply to Farley was. and he said that he told Farley that blood was thicker I than water, and he would de d ? d if j he would go back on his uncle for Butler or anybody else. I asked him j if this wa* a newspaper fake or the I truth and he replied: To show you that I mean businessj'll j publish it in full. There and then he wrote the piece signed "Craddock." I [ did not have anything further to do j with it; did not see it any more until it peared in the papers: thought nothing* j of it until the following week, when I i heard him read a cetificate from some I one to the effect that he (Jim Tillman) \ had written and was the author^Ffche | "Craddock" letter. That night in ; my room between 9 and 10 o'clock, while Dr. Pope and I were talking, ? Jim Tillman came in, and I aaked | him to rehearse the ^vhole tale to Dr. j Pope, which he did/ exhibiting the ! "Craddock" letter, and saying that it | would go of? by telegraph in a fey^ j minutes. As to the piece referred to from the i Laurensville Herald I can only say , that I knew nothing of it until I saw I it in print The subjoined letter from 1 Mr. Crews on that subject will explain j itself. | In conclusion, I will ask the pub lic to think of one thing only: Why . j did not General Farley ask of me an j explanation, if he believed what he pretends to believe ?>f t lie assumed * r""? ^ did him. 1 he evident reason t(> rne why he sought no : explanation is that, if he had done so, heT; would not have had the oppor j tuuity to abuse me tor political pur | poses, for he knew had he railed on t "ie, a satisfactory answer would have ? been given hi in, his excuse tor de ; pouncing rne and his chance for I ingratiating himself with the Con ; ser vat ive element would have been lost, j I leave it to the public to gay * aether events subsequent to the fourth I of ia-t March have not proved that j Jim 'iillman told the truth when he ! cattfe to me with the rej>ort of the | conversation between him and General barley, i need not give the argument ! why { believe .Jim Tillman told the i truth, tor I am satisfied that everv one ; who reads the newspapers and who j has watched the turns in polities, will | see that there way truth and lots of it ?( in wh&t Till man said. 1 submit herewith letters fr<mi Dr. lope, Mr. Tighe, Mr W. T. Crews an<i Major W. T. < iary of Augusta, which will prove conclusively that the [changes made by General Farley are ! false. This philippic against me is but j the fulfillment of the Scheme as j concocted last March. The scheme, however, wa* amended by leaving out | < ?overiior Tillman for reasons which j must be apparent to every sensible j persop. General !? arley reasons thus: | I will abuse I r by ami thereby please I every Conservative in the State and j will threaten Tillman and sew his mouth up and by praising Shell will get j enough Tillmanites to beat Stanyarne j Wilson for Congress. With this explanation I have doue j with the newspapers as a means of ad justing differences. 1 am, very respectfully, John L. M. I key. Newberry, S. G, July 1 1 , '93. Hon. J. L. M. Irby, Laurens, S. C My Dear Sir: In reading the card of Gen. El. L. Farley in reference to the publication of a letter- signed "C'raddock" in the Augusta Chronicle, I am reminder! that during my stay in I | Washington the author of that piece j j came into your rooom (where I stay I also) with a communication in his ! hand some time during Saturday night, week after the inauguration ofGrover Cleveland. When he entered the room you asked him to rehearse as fiear as possible the conversation be tween him and General Farley at the Metropolitan Hotel that day. He unhesitatingly and promptly told the following facts: That General Farley had read to him a communication addressed to the j Reformers of South Carolina, rather denunciatory than otherwise of Till j man and Irby as leaders of the party, and -asked Tillman to have it pub lished in the Atlanta Constitution un der a nom deplume, saying that as a newspaper man he could have it done under a iicmi de plmne and would not have to expose his identity. He told Tillman that if the article tock well with the Reformers he would come_ out and avow himself as its author. He also said that he would give Jim Tillman a pkee on a State ticket, to be made up, as Adjutant General. He (Tillman) further emphasized ; the fact of4iis authorship of the "Crad- ! dock" letter by reading it to me and by saying that he was on his way to I the telegraph office on Fourteenth street to send it to the Augusta Chron icle. He also said that whenever he had communicatons of this character to publish ne used the non de phnce I "Crsddock" instead of his initials "J. H. T." This information not only surprised me but I was horrified, to think that such things were going on among the i Reformers, and especially among the ' leaders. Senator Irby was also indig nant a? it, and asked me, who intend ed to return home by way of Colum bia in a few days, to see Governor Tillman and tell him what Jim Till man bad said, for the reason that Sen ator Irbv was afraid the Governor would not see the Sunday edition of the Chronicle. In passing through Columbia I went to Governor Tillman's house and gave him*the iufbrnoation we had received from .IKnv Tillman in Washington. I make this statement to you volun tarily because y^a must have forgot ten that I knew any thing about it, or you would have written to me: and because it is due to you and to truth that the public should know the truth and the authorship of this whole mat ter. Your friend, Sampson' Tope. This is to certify that Senator Irby did not dictate to me any article signed "C'raddock," published in the Augus ta Chronicle or elsewhere, and that I knew nothing whatever of its composi tion. Mr. James H. Tillman, to my knowledge, never disavowed the authorship of the Craddock letter. It bad been Elated that Mr. Tillman de nied responsibility for a part of the letter reflecting upon Mr F. C. Caugh man, but Mr Tillman, to disprove that he hail repudiated any part of it, showed me and others, I presume, a note in the nature of a certificate, in ^-which Mr Caughman stated that Mr Tillman declared himself the author of the article signed "Craddock." M. F. Tighe. On last Friday, June 30th, General Farley came into the Herald office, and after being seated, the following conversation took place between my self and Mr. Farley. Mr. Farley? Mr- Crews, didn't you publish an article ia the Herald the i other week in which you stated that I attended an Alliance caucus iu Spar j tanburg? and wasn't something said | about Sharpening Brutus daggers for ! Tillman^ etc.? Was the article an i editorial or communication?. Mr. Crews ? There was an article of tiiixt nature published in the Herald i a week or two ago, but the Farley ? mentioned was not intended to apply j to you ? it was Lid Farley. There | was also something said about ".Brutus j daggers," and was an editorial written by myself. Mr. Farley ? Where did you get I your information from? Didn't some i one here give you the information? Mr. Crews ? No, sir. [ got my in ; formation from some one of the daily j pajters. I am not sure, but I think it j was the < Ireenville News, and the edi j torial was based on the information contained in a distpach sent from Spartanburg. Mr. Parley ? I think you are mis* | taken about getting your information from the Greenville News, as I have never seen anything of that kind in the News. Mr. Crews ? Possibly 1 may be mis takeu alxmt getting my information irom i he News, but I am positive that I got it from some one of the daily {>aj>ers. No individual gave it to me | verbally or otherwise. Mr. Farley's questioning me iu re j gard to the source of my information | in regard to the editorial in question I impressed me at the time that he was | endeavoring to extort from me a | Virtual admission that some one iu j Lauren* had given me the said infor mation, ami when he afterwards alluded to the fact that he had a personal enemy here who was trying to injure him, and oth^r such expres sions, without directly naming any one, I could plainly see that his refer ences were to Senator Irhy. I then told Mr. Farley distinctly and posi tively that neither Senator Irby nor any one else had ever mentioned the subject tome, and that I was responsi ble for the edtorial and the -reference to "Brutus daggers," etc. The above is the conversation which took place l>etween Mr. Farley and myself, aswell as I can remember, and the substance of what I have written and what was said by us on the occasion referred to can be substantiated by three other employees in the Herald office who heard the conversation. W. T. Crews. United States A^tornev, Southern District rip Georgia, Macon, Ga., July 10, 1893. Sir: Your letter dated July 8, 1893 in which you enclose a card pub lished by Hon. H. L. Farley, is re ceived. You request me to furnish you for publication a statement of facts whicb came within my knowledge in reference to the article published in the Augusta Chronicle over the signature "Craddock." I have no intention to espouse the cause of any of the parties interested Jn this controversy, with all of whom my relations are friendly. I yield to what I conceive to be my duty and do an act of simple justice to you in mak ing the following statement: The article signed "Craddock" was not dictated by you to your private secretary, nor was it sent to the Chronicle for publication either by you or your private secretary. During my stay in Washington, I was present in your rooms at the National Hotel when a conversation was had in reference to it, and the article was read to you in my presence by the author before it was sent to the Chronicle for publication. Very respectfully, W. T. Gary. Hon. J. L. M. Irby, United States Senator, J>aurens,S. C. WANTED SEARCH WARRANTS Bat the Charleston Trial Justice Refused to Issue them. Charleston, July 14. ? The Gov f ernor has not vet turned loose the dogs j of war here. Assistant Attorney ! General Buchanan, who has been here : for several days, returned to Columbia tonight, presumably to consult with the Governor. It is rumored that he applied to a trial justice for search warrants, but that the justice refused to grant them. This, however, is mere rumor. A meetingof the county board of con trol is called for tomorrow, when it is expected that several jtetitions for a dispensary will be filed, and that the Moultrieville petition will be acted on. Evarybody here is bracing up for the fight. A FUNNEL-SHAPED CLOUD Strike* the Town of Stillwater, Minn. Two People Killed. Stillwater, Minn., July 14. ? A terrific cyclone strouck here at 3:10 p. m. The clouds were hig? until they reached the At wood saw mill, where they seemed to swoop down and lifted the rafting sheds, carrying huge timbers into Lake Pepin. Two em ployes on the rafting 9heds, Sam Sim j on9on and William Anex, were in stantly killed and several others severely injured. A number of boys j fishing on the sly below the mill were ; thrown into the water and escaped with slight injuries. The funnel-shaped cloud also strnbk the residence portion of the city, but, as far as can be learned, did no damage other than overturning a nam mer of barns. | PROHIBITION WOULDN'T GO | NOT THE PROPER REMEDY FOR THE DISPENSARY. Judge <iarv Decides That He Has No Jurist diction in the Columbia Case The Hearing Yesterday. The Argument*. Jti Columbia, the capital of the State, the disi>ensary'8 wearied head has at last found one little feather pil low upon which it can rest, for a short time at least . ; Judge Gary has declined to graut the writ of prohibition applied for here, and the State board of control does not seem to be inclined to carry ou the investigation of the manner of] appointing flispensers in this city, be gun recently at the instance of Mr.i Childs The result is that Mr Roach is preparing to give his bond and open up his business right away, and the county board of control will doubt less go ahead, in the face of the fact of the existing condition, shown to be illegal, and appoint the other dispen sers. When the hearing was called at 10 o'clock by Judge Gary at chambers yesterday morning, the court room was filled with interested sj>ectator8, many of them being merchants and business men. The members of the county board of control, the appli cants for dispensers and the Attorney and Assistant Attorney General were present. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OPENS. Afler reading the papers in the case the A ttoruey General began his argument, and at the very outset ob jected to the proceedings on the grounds that they were not requisite or proper. Such proceedings, he said, were odly instituted when an exact statement of public damages was made, ami in the petition herein there was no mention of any loss to anyone. He alleged that the duties of dispenser were purely ministerial. This was the improper remedy. A writ of error or an appeal would be more proper. The county board might have erred, he said, but it had not transcended its jurisdiction. In matters of appeal, as made in this ease, only a writ of ap peal was proper. All the higher courts say that questions of jurisdic tion, must go to the Circuit Court The board of control was a special tribunal and its judgment was final. The board acted, he declared, within its jurisdiction, and there was no alle gation that it had gone beyond. GEN. YOUMAN's ARGUMENT. Gen You mans appearing for the petitioners then made an elaborate and very strong aigument. He said the board was required to follow the law strictly. The law provides that this board shall appoint a dispenser, but provides that before it shall exercise its jurisdiction in the matter it shall have presented to it a correctly pre pared petition from a majority ot the freehold voters, and that a copy of such petition must be filed with the clerk of the Circuit Court The de murrer admitted that the law had not been complied with. The act provid ed for no appeal. The circuit judge conld be removed for malfeasance in office by the Legislature but you could not appeal to that body from any decision that the judge might render. But there wa3 no remedy for wrong ful acts. The Supreme Court of the State had carefully considered and decided all points in regard to appeals and this case was not covered in any of those decisions. A writ of certi orari was not the remedy because they did not wish to correct an error in law. They were likewise barred the procedure ofinjunction. Judge Gary asked Gen. Youmans who did he think was to decide who a majority of the freehold voters. He said that it did not take a Judge to see that there were more than 190 names signed to Roache's petitition. There were only two things that gave the board jurisdiction, and they were the filing of a proper petition with the board and the filing of a proper copy with the clerk of the court It is alleged that neither are proper, and for the purpose of this I case the Judge was bound to assume I that the allegations, which could be proven if necessary, were true. The | question of damage or injury raised by the other side, he said, was a matter for injunction. To create an unlawfA | dispensary would be to make a ncW 1 sance under the law. Any tax ! payer had a right to see how his ! money was spent, and to see that no | man unlawfully appointed should use the people's money to enter upon the liquor business. jud?? Gary's decision. Judge Gary said that the members of the board of control were the sole judges of ^ho were the freehold voters j of the city of Columbia. He could f prohibit them then only in case they ! should attempt to have five instead of : two dispensers here as that would be j in direct violation of the law. The petition showed that they were going ahead and acting in their jurisdiction ? though they might be making errors | of fact and law. Mr. Youmans at | tempted to interrupt but the judge j continued saying that his judgment 1 was already made. His duty he said '< was clearly laid down in the Supreme S Court decision in the Columbia liquor | case in regard to the issuing of liquor j licenses to clubs. He said Gen. ^ ou ! mans' petition sets out that the mem bers of the board of control were parties charged with the appointment of dispensers. Now he was asked to review their actions on questions of fact, and asked to prohibit them from proceeding further. That could only be done by such procedure when an inferior court had really exceeded its jurisdiction. "Gentlemen you .. will prepare an order that this court re fuses a writ of prohibition uj>on the ground that this court has not the jurisdiction to grant such an order." THE COURT S ORDER. The following order was then pre sented and signed and all was over. A broa<( smile of content spread over the features of Dispenser Roach, and he hustled ^>ut much quicker than he came in: State of South Carolina, ) Richland County. } p The State ex rel. W. H. Gibbes vs. J. M. Kirkland, J. R. Price and L. B. Folk, county board of control for Richland county, The above cause being called, and aic oral demurrer being interposed that the court had no jurisdiction to hear and determine this cause, it is ordered that the demurrer besusta'sed on the ground of the want of juris diction to grant the writ, and order further that the restraining order herein be revoked Ernest Gary, Presiding Judge. Gen. Youmans has not yet decided whether he will take any further ac tion in regard to the matter. In the meantime preparations are going ahead for the opening of the dispensary. THE LOSS OF THE VICTORIA. A Former Instance of Admiral Tryoo's Error of Jndgmut Recalled. London, July 11. ?The Globe says it is authorized to deny the published ' statement to the effect that all the cap* tains of the vessels that took part in the manoeuvres * of the British Mediterranean squadron off Tripoli were to be tried by court-martial. According to the story which ap peared in the Graphic, the charge to be made against the captains was that they had not obeyed Admiral Tryon 's signals for fleet formation in attempting to carry which signals the Camper down ran into and sank the Victoria. The Globe says the manoeuvre was just beginning when the Camperdown struck the Victoria. The other ships did not have time to turn before the accident happened. The Globe further says that three years ago Admiral Tryoif, who was commanding fleet manoeuvres, sig nalled an order for the identical evolution that resulted in tthe loss of his ship and own life. Rear Admiral Richard E. Tracy, who is now in com mand at the Malta dock yard, was in command of the vessel at the head of the port colunya-. He saw the danger I that would be involved in carrying ' out the order, and refused to answer the signal. Admiral Tryon waited for fifteen minutes, and receiving no answering signal; he annulled his order, and the signal for the evolution was hauled down. Admiral Tryon raited no question about Rear Admiral Tracey's retusal to obey the order. THE TREASURY SITUATION A Slow Kut Steady increase in the Gold Holdings Washington, July 11. ? The Treas ury statement today shows that the net gold in the Treasury at the end of June last was $95,385,413, which was more than the total at the end of either of the two months preceding. In the ten days from June 30th to July 10th the gold holdings increased from $95,485,41.3 to 97,186,077, and the tables show a slow but steady increase from June 10th last, when the net gold stood at $90,722,985, the lowest ? point touched in many years. The customs receipts at New York last month were $9,33,978, a reduction of $029,809 as compared with the pre ceding month, and of $263,472 as compared with the corresponding month of 1892. A significant feature of the Treas ury statements is that not a cent of the receipts f??r last June were paid in gold or gold certificates, but were made up of silver certificates 12 per., United States notes 53 per cent, and Treasury notes 35 per cent., and the May state ment was little better in this respect. In June, 1892, eight per cent, of the receipts were paid in gold certificates and 2 per cent, in gold coin. * There was but one response to Acting Director Preston^ counter-proposition to the silver brokers yesterday, and i that was limited to an offer of 100,00(1 j ounces of silver at 7H cents per ounce. This came from New York by tele graph after the close of the office yes terday. It was promptly accepted. ALL QUIET AT BANGKOK. Another French Gunboat Arrive* ut the Mouth of the Klver. Bangkok, July 15: ? The French gunboat Forfail arrived at the bar at the mouth of the Meinam river to day. This is the fourth French war ship to arrive, the Lutin, Cometo ami Inconstante being already here. AVhen the Forfail arrived, she saluted the British cruiser Pallas, which was | lying of! the bar, and her salute was returned by the British war ship. A better feeling now prevails in the I city. The French captain, Toreaux, has arrived within two days journey of Battambang, a village on the Gulf of Siam, to the southeast of Bangkok. He is ia command of the party that is conveying the rebellious Annamites, who were recently captured by' the French at Rhone, on die Mei-Khong river* i & i j _ . : ? PROTESTS FILED. Against the In^reaw in Loral Freight IUU>m Asked by Kail road. Col. D. P. Duncan, chairman of the Railroad Commission, is in receipt of numerous letters protesting agaiust the i increase in the local freight rates which ! were asked for recent! j by the rail- j roads. So far the protests have come j from the cotton mills and fertilizer I companies. One of these protests states the through rates to foreign points are ridiculously low, while the local rates on cotton are entirely too high now. One factory bought .r>00 bales of cotton and had it hauled a distance of eleven miles by wagon and saved $65 by the operation, The reason given by the railroads for asking for an increase in local freight rates is that the roads are not paying. Colonel Duncan is of the opinion that the railroads should not attempt to make up for losses on low through rates by raising the local rates. One reason why the railroads are not paying, as stated by Colonel Dun can, is the high salaries paid to the officials. For instauce, the salary of Sol Haas, traffic manager of the Rich mond and Danville system, 820,000 a year, and there are a numl>er of other officials whose salaries range from $6,000 to $10,000 a year. The proportion that the South Carolina division of the Richmond and Dan ville Railroad has to pay toward the support of the general offices of the system is nearly $22,000, and this does not include the expenses of the legal department of the system in this State. These officials roll over the country in magnificent private cars* which are operated at a heavy excuse. J. Colonel Duncan is of the opinion that while the officials of the roads enjoy such luxurious salaries they should not ask for an increase in the freight rates to make the roads pay interest on the stck. The Atlantic Coast Line, which is run on business principles, is making a fair return on the money invested. ? The Railroad Commission will ap point a day before long to hear the dailroads on their petition aud the jrotests against it. WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. Showing the Condition of the Crops in South Carolina. ' . The following is the weather- crop bulletin for the week ending Monday, July 10, issued by Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture for this State: The temperature for the past seven days has ranged unusualy high over the State, Cheraw reaching 104, Florence 102, Columbia 101, Young's Island 100, Batesburg, Blackviile, Spartanburg, Kingstree, St. Matthews, knd Holland's Store 98. ? With the exception of July 3d and 4th, few showers have occured of any consequence, aud crops are parched and famished for lack of rain. A general cry comes from all sec tions for rain, and unless showers oc cur shortly great injury will result. Cotton is reported late from one to two weeks, and while slight improve ment is noticed, it is not suffiently j wide-spread to warrant much consider- 1 ation. The majority of reports concede the plant to be small, with bottom ! leaves withering and turning red, with | few blooms, deficient in fruit and badly i hurt by being worked clean of grass { during the hot weather. Where showers have occured cotton ! has almost immediately started to ! grow, and where the moisture was sufficient it has done well. Corn has been laid by in good con- ! dition in the majority of counties.] Theie are many complaints of its I being badly fired in some sections. (iardens are failing fast. Potatoes are about the only thing which has derived any great l>enefit from the i weather of the past week.

He proceeded at once to that town, and, upon investigation, found at Sam Laney's house a valise which contained a five gallon keg of corn whiskey. Dooten, Blackburn and Laney were arrested. They were brought here last night for a preliminary hearing l>efore I nited States Commissioner ('. J. Pride, who required each to give bond. Dooten, failing to secure bonds men, was taken to Vorkville jail to await his hearing here Wednesday. Blackburn and Laney gave bond for their appearance Tuesday. It will be remembered that Dooten. with several others, was arrested about one mile above here for violating the internal revenue law oik* year ag<> and sentenced to three months imprison ment in York county jail.

SEVERAL WORLD'S FAIR VISITORS CREMATED. S*1 Scenes on the Exposition tiroun<t?-A8. sen Jon ? of the Columbian Guards 1' roved Correct- Stranger? ' WVll a-H Firemen Caught by the Kail of the Huge Cold Sto r?ii? Wain house. Faik Grounds, Chicago, July 11. ?Ten thousand people - crowded around the debris of the cold storage structure, destroyed by fire yesterday, eagerly watching the" search for the dead bodies. Early this morning, three more bodies were recovered from the ruins. They were so ba^ly char red and disfigured as to make recogni tion absolutely impossible. One thing is evident, however, and that is the bod ies are not the remains ot firemen. 1 he locality in which they were found seems to preclude this possibility. All the firemen who lost their lives were huddled up in one place in the dreadful fire trap at the top of the shaft, and fell the victims one by one to the flames, their bodies naturally fell somewhere within a small circle surrounding the smokestack. The jjodies recovered to-day were -evident ly not the remains of any who jumped ?'or fell from the shaa, because thev were found at a somewhat remote dis tance from this point and under the mass of steam pij*? aud machinery fallen from above. On one body was a leather belt to which was attached a pair of steel pin cers, thus providing the remains to be those of a lineman. The discovery gave fresh color to the fearful appre hension that the firemen were hy no means the only ones who were the vie- > tims of the flames and the public at once became disused to doubt the declaration made yesterday that all the visitors and employees were out of *? the building before the conflagration reached a dangerous stage. 1 he total number of dead bodies re covered at this time has reached fit teen. The Columbian Guards on du ty \esterday at the scene of the disas ter constantly maintained that several of the World's Fair visitors and elec trical men and other Workmen were caught in the flames and the unex pected discovery of the bodies under the ruins this morning and the feet that one is undoubtedly that of a line man, gives credence to their declara tions Certain it is that there were a num ber of visitors and workmen in the building when the fire broke out and it has been decided to make a minute examination, foot by foot, of the pyra mid of ruins and debris before the day is out. . \ It has been definitely ascertained that but eleven firemen lost their lives. 1 here are three other bodies found. They are not recognizable, but are known not to be firemen. The Hercules Iron Works Compa ny, owner of the cold storage wiutt houses at the fair grounds, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors this morning. The Chicago and Title and Trust (Company is named as as signee. The assets are estimated at $400,000; liabilities estimated at 8200,000. ^ esterday's fire caused a loss of $200,000 \ money easier. Tb- New York Ranks Receiving L?rg? Amounts of currency. Nku York, July 12. ?
