Mr. Blnglfain ?of Pennsylvania, who was in charge o the Ylouso for the confidence shown it the appropriations committe?. l! re quired about throe bonis for the clerl to read tho bill. No other business was transacted.

Eighth Day?The debate on (he wai rovenuo reduction bill opened in th< House and was confined to speeches by Mr. Payne, of Now York, chalrmai of the ways and means committee, ot behalf of the majority, and Mr Swanson, of Virginia, on behalf of tin minority. The speaker Appointed the follow ing committee to investigate the death of Cadet Booz. at West Point. Messrs Marsh, Republican, of Illinois, cnalr man; Wagner, Republican, of Penn sylvania; Smith, Repuuiican, o- lowaj Driggs, ,Democrat, of New York, anr, Clayton, Democrat, of New Yort^, A tfilxstltute resolution was reported m>m tho military affairs committee re questing the Secretary of War to re port tho result of the investigation lie is now making of the Poo?, case to fhe House of Representatives, togother with such recommendaiions as he may see fit to make. Mr. DrigRS. of New York, the authoi of tho original resolution, protested vigorously against the adoption of the substituto resolution, as It did not in elude provisions for an investigation of the geneial subject of baaing at West Point with a view to putting a perma nont stop to such practiccs. Ho declar ed that the practice of infamously haz ing "plebes" at West Point was noto rious. He cited the case of Whkaker, who w?? hazed In 1880 and whose case led to a oongveasiona- inv??UgatW>i?r Mr. Drigga declared that he would he in favor of abolishing the Academy il these brutal practices could not be stopped. (Applause). Mr. Wagner, of Pennsylvania, who i appointed Cadet Booz, insisted on a 1 congressional investigation. The giost outrage known to have been commit ted at the Academy in tho past, he zeald, Uad aroused tho conviction that tho^nicers of the Academy and oi the -afmy were so Jealous of the fair name* of tho Academy that they guarded it as indiscreetly as the officers al .Franc* did in tho' Dreyfus case. Only a con gression invostiga?on would bring out the facts and lead to action which would forever prevent hazing in the fu ture. Mr. "Wagner had read a lettei from an official of the town of Bristol where Booz resided, which testified tc tho young man's high standing, phys ically, mentAlly and .morally, which re cited the charges of brutal treatment and which*called for an investigation. Mr. Clayton, of New York, a gradu ate of West Point, t>aid the Academy fears no investigation. "The son of a washerwoman and of a millionaire ar? on the same fooling wM%n they enter the Academy." From his porsona! ex perience Mr. Clayton said he knew that the reports of halting were terribly exaggerated. HARVESTING.

Irby, former United Hates Senator, prominent Hwyer and distinguished citiv.cn of tliia county aud S:atn, died at ills homo in thh< vlty, aged 4tf yertrs iUid u months. The end came Sunday morning a< X O'clock afU'J. ua i>LL**oJf.'*f' t-asfc.* irVas known tluveral days ago that hi* condition waa extremely criti cal and woveiy very doub.ful. s-1 i51 the announcement of his death was a nho -k to a majority In thin section and is the occasion of manifest expressions of sympathy and regret. Col. Irby was ?; man of remarkable lino physical devel opment and battled against the deadly inroads with all the tenacity of his b v iiiK but he had to yield to the griiu monster. , John T?aureus Manning Irby was but 46 years,.old, having boeu born in Lau rens, Sept. 10, 1Sr>4. Ills father was Col. James II. Irby, a distinguished South EX SKKATQlt J. I.. M IHJiY, Carolinian, who for years represented Laurens county in U?m ?State senate an?! was later lieutenant governor, at tli'f time Jolin L. Manning -was governor. On account of the friendship of these two, the lieutenant governor named his son for Gov. Manning. The younger Irby's mother was MIkh Henrietta Earle, a daughter oL another distin guished South Carolina family. Sena tor Irby was thus a near relative of his successor in-the United States Senate the late Judge Joseph II. Earle. Roih of tfcese who immediately Bncc.eerieri Wa<f^ Hampton ' have passed away white the grand old Confederate chief tain survives them. Sena-tor Irby spent his boyhood at the old Irby homestead in Lauren*. The deceased was a man of superior education as weU'jaji-*^ keen judgment and strong intellect. He was prepared for college at the local schools and af terwards attended the University of Virginia and Princeton. ' In 1876, a memorable year in Stflte, his-tory, h was admitted to the bar after reading law uii'ler Hernry M'cf^er of Cheraw.lhc present chief justiee of the supreme court of South Carolina, and Joshua H. Hudson, ex-Judge. . ' His first venture In the pra-.'tiee of law wus in the city of Laurens with W. J/. Cri'Hv. Esq., as -his pHrtii?*r. Late* was associated with Joscpli T.

Young Irh/ eriteredr with eVt}?*l**tri!nto the caiiipKTgn whlcnoroke down the rule of the robber hrfrtms of t)ie radical p ?r ty and placed wa'de^Hampton at the bead of the State government. He was a lieutenant colonel on Gov. Hamp ton'*) staff. In 1878 he practically g**ve-up the-law to look after his ex tensive farming inter'eat. Irby took no active part in State pol ities until 1886 when he was elected to the house. This was at a seaon of po Uieal tllequ (etude. Cfto*? B. R. Tillman having the summer before sowed i :.?< seeds of discord In hi?~,jpemorable spcech at IJennettsvllle. In fS?8 Irby was returned to the house, and again In 1890. His political career may b? said to date from that lattpr year. For it. was then that the refoi*n movement was inaugurated and with^pl Irby it could not have been as successful aa it was. . He was the motive power in the March convention oHSflO which nomi nated Tillman for governor. A biographer In writing of Tulg period orhla life says: "All the forces which contributed to fhia political upheaval were $on<Atrated at lfce March con vention! ^ fals cnfaventlon was a prac tical declaration of war upon existing political Institution*. ^sgverythln* that could secure sttc Wd WM prweot wid all that w&a neoded wm that all the ale wale aheuld be fused crystal ixed, It van at (he most critical mothwt in the proceed inn of the March conrvatton that Irby flrot appeared as a matter of fact and organiser of victor*.

J. Hryan was sworn Into the house of representatives, and like Hryan, he was an advocate of the free coinage of silver. In 1 Si?2 he wvs fi delegate at Inrge to the national Democratic convention at. Chicago, which nominated CJrover Cleveland for president. Sonator Irby was a member of the constitutional convention In ISO.".. There, as in the State legislature, lie declined to take purl In partisan and foolhardy legi-dtttion, and was engaged jt times In spirited debates with other leaders in that body. It was his fito to cause the displeasure of Senator Tillmah, and In 189ti ho did not stand fop--wwolectlon. In the summer of that year, there was a heated campaign betwwen Oov. John Gary Evans, Judgo Joseph II, Earle and Mr. John T. Duncan. Judno Karle won the nomination ijj the pal mary. but had. hardly taken his sp'at when ho was cut down by death, and a careor of usefulness ended and a llfq full of promise fell short of Its possi bilities. John T>. McLaurln, congress man from tho Sixth district, was ap pointed by Gov. Kllerbtx to temporari ly supply the.vacancy causod by Sen ator ICarle's death. An election was held. Evans was again a candidate, ah was McLaurin. Irby this time became a candidate, but ho lost and McLaurin was chosen. " . | This was jrby's first acknowledged political defenf. and ho then retired to the practice of law at I/iureni. About four years ago he became in terested in the ancient order of Mason ry nnd at the time of his death was high priest of Rising Sun chapter. No. 0, Ko.val Arch Masons, of Laurens. It was his purpose to go higher in Ma sonry. He was interested In a number of .en terprises in Lnurens an<1 was a whole souled public spirited man. In that community he w?us personally very popular, having a magnetic charm | which brought friends to him and his fidelity toward others kept his friends truo to himself. A friend In writing! of him several years ago said: "The salient characteristics of Irby aje a keen and clear insight into men and measures and the ability to take a conyjreTiensive view 9f a situation or ?in. emergency. Although of an impet uous nature, he is cool and deliberate In tho fam of danger. His sagacity nnd prudence in political emergencies, hie unswerving devotion to Tillman and tho cause. and his ability as a speaker have qualified him both as a cabinet officer and a field marshal. His advice around the. counsel board Is always heeded, and his victories in the field speak their own praises." , Senator Irby married Miss Nannie Macfarland. of Chcraw, a woman or, much grace and loveliness of charac tei^and of raro physical beauty. To tfieni seven children were horn, five sons "and two daughters. The oldest son, Mr. W. C.
