WHITE CAPPERS NEAR FLORENCE. j Reported that Well-Known Citizen was Severely Whipped One Night Last Week. ! Florence, October 14.?A rumor has reached Florence to the effect that a well known citizen residing.in the lower part of the county was visited by white-cappers one night last week and severely whipped. The name of the party. whipped cannot i be obtained, but the report is to the 1 effect that he was not what he should have been to his family and a party ( of neighbors went to his home, called < for him and as soon as he appeared ordered him to march ahead of the crowd to a patch of woods nearby, * There, the story runs, he was given a sound thrashing, coupled with the 1 admonition that if his conduct was repeated at his home he would re- t ceive further attentions at the hands ] of his neighbors.

The , brief in the case has been printed ] and it contains 221 pages. The public is familiar with the j killing of the theatrical men of the "Nothing But Money" company in J Gaffney last year by Hasty and the 1 sensational trial that followed. After the verdict had been rendered the j attorneys for Hasty appealed from { the decision of the lower court. In the event the supreme court grants a new trial the case will be heard at j the spring term of the court of ses- 1 sions of Cherokee county. ; Girl Crushed by Train. j La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 11.?Stand- < ing helpless with her foot caught in a cattleguard at Indian Hillcrossing, seven-year-old Mamie Hunt yesterday watched the on rushing freight 1 train which killed her while Dagna 1 Sentad, her six-year-old companion, vainly tried to signal the engineer.

Anderson, October 13.?Word was received here this afternoon from Seneca that Harrell college, a negro institution there, was blown up by dynamite about midnight last night. Rev. J. F. Williams, colored, presided over the college and it was supported by Northern white people. He went to Seneca from Abbeville several years ago, and it is said has made himself very objectionable to the white people since his arrival. He has preached incendiary doctrines, it is alleged, and has advised >i _ i 1 _ j* _ .. _ tne negroes nor 10 worK ior tne white people. On account of all this a letter of warning was sent him several weeks ago advising him to leave Seneca, but it sqpms he paid no attention to it. : Dynamite cartridges were placed under each corner of the negro college building last night by some parties whose names are unknown and when the clock struck midnight the dynamite was ignited, which partially wrecked the building. The buildi ing was not completely demolished, but was very badly shattered and very extensive repairs will be required before it can be used again. It is very probable that Williams will leave Seneca, but up to 2 o'clock this afternoon it was understood that he had not departed. There are two negro colleges at Seneca, but the other one stands well with the people there. Charleston's Gala Week. Military day of Charleston's great, er gala week will be November 7. The guard mount and parade will be held in the afternoon. The truard mount will take place on Marion square and the hour will depend upon the number of squads that enter the contest, but will probably commence at 4.30 o'clock. After the guard mount the line of march will be taken up along the principal streets and after passing the reviewing officers the parade will be dismissed. From replies received from out-of-town companies to the invitation to enter the guard mount it if certain that many of them will send squads to the city to enter the contest, and the success of the exhibition is already assured. All the companies in Charleston will be represented, besides others of the 3rd regiment and some from the other regiments of the State. The prizes offered are worth competing for, and the competition will be keen and interesting. Each company entering the guard *i, i i . *i # mount is required to send a detail 01 twelve men, and shortly before the exhibition the officers will hold an inspection and designate nine who go into the contest. Companies are allowed to furnish a detail for the battalion, and can also enter a separate squad, which will represent the company individually.! Besides the competitive guard mount there will be a grand parade and review, which will be participated in by the companies of the National Guard, the cadets of the South Carolina Military Acaderpy and the Porter Military Academy and the companies of coast artillery, United States regulars, stationed at Sullivan's Island. The parade will be the largest since the Exposition, and will be enjoyed alike by Charlestonians and visitors from other parts of the State and other States. No Religions Bias A certain theatrical manager of Chicago tells of an Irish policeman in that city possessing Dogberry-like traits. On one occasion, at midnicrht. the custodian of the law overhauled a sleep-walker who was promenading a principal thoroughfare clad only in his night rbees. When the officer had awakened the unfortunate man, placed him under arrest, and was hustling him off to the station, the sleep-walker exclaimed, with indignation: "Surely you are not going to lock me up?" "Surest thing you know!" airily responded the bluecoat. ' 'Why, man, I Can't be held responsible for the predicament you find me in! I am a somnambulist! " "Sure, it makes no difference what church ye belong to," sharply returned the officer; "ye can't parade the streets of Chicago in your nighty!'

Lady Addressed in Familiar Manner by Two Negroes Who Were Riding Horseback, An outrageous piece of effrontery 5 was offered to Mrs. W. W. Pearce [ yesterday. Two negro men deliber1 ately stopped her buggy as she was ; coming into the city and spoke to her i in the most violent fashion. ! The incident occurred in Shandon. _ Mrs. Pearce was coming from her home just beyond the Davis place. She observed two negro men mounted on beautiful horses. One lost his hat. The two negroes then rode up to her buggy and the older of the . two turned his horse directly in front , of Mrs. Pearce's buggy. "Say," said the negro in a most insolent manner, "this gentleman says pick up his hat." Mrs. Pearce : was too much frightened^to observe > whether or not the negroes were [ drunk, but she lashed her horse ; furiously and he 'sprang^forward, I brushing aside the horse in front. Mrs. Pearce drove rapidly to the home of her sister, Mrs. H. Shorter Watson, and told what had happened. As soon as Mr. Pearce could be in1 formed he began to hunt for the two . negroes. He learned from negroes 5 in the vicinity that these two men ; had been racing their horses oh 5 Woodrow street. The others were unable to give any description of the, * horses, but Mrs. Pearce says that 1 they are chestnut and sorrel. She was particularly struck with the ap- '< 1 pearance of the animals and thinks 1 1 they may be regular race horses. One of the negVoes was not grown, , H i perhaps about 15 years old.
