I It' Richmond, Va., December 4.?By | ; agreement of counsel the Chesapeake p & Ohio railway and W. R. Johnson & Co. pleaded guilty to rebating before Judge Waddill late to-day and were fined by the court, the Chesapeake & Ohio $9,000 and Johnson $4,500. The railway was fined $1,000 each on nine counts and Johnson was fined $1,500 on the first and $1,000 each on three other counts. In view of this voluntary proceed- j ings, other counts in the indictments j were nol prossed, on motion of Judge | L. L. Lewis, United States district attorney, and John H. Marble, counsel for the interstate commerce commission. Counsel stated to the court that their principals knew nothing of the violation as alleged, but that the law was so broad they thought conviction was certain on the indiscretion of their agents and H. O. Gates, and therefore adopted this course. This action follows the verdict of the jury in the same court yesterday, finding A. P. Gilbert, assistant general freight agent, not guilty. Gilbert had been on trial for 10 days, H. O. Gates, clerk for Johnson & Co., grain dealers, having secured immunity from prosecution by turning State's evdence, his statements in reference to Gilbert being denied and the jury taking only six minutes to reach a verdict of /not guilty in Gilbert's case. ilUilU^UI/ IV OVIIV1V Wi UVI O* The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the ,case of the State against L. R. Small, of Pickens county. Small as representative of the liquor house of Shuman & Co. of Salisbury, N. C., solicited whiskey orders in Pickens county " and was tried and convicted before the mayor of that town. An appeal was made on the ground that while Shuman & Co., through Small, had made the sale the purchase was not completed until the goods were delivered and the money paid for the shipment. The court holds, however, that the sale was made on the admission that Small accepted the order for whiskey and therefore the order sent in was a purchase. # The supreme court had the matter up once before and the case as announced in the lower court was affirmed. The petition came up on the last appeal for a rehearing. This, however, was refused. W. H. Mitchell, a wealthy white man, was tried in Thomasville, Ga., last week and found guilty of assault and battery. He was charged with attempting to kidnap and assault Miss Lucile Linton. The presiding judge sentenced him to serve twelve months in the penitentiary. He protested his innocence, saying he was a victim of circumstances.

I ? \ Champ Clark Minority Leader. Washington, December 5.?Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, was chosen minority leader of the house of representatves at the caucus of the Democratic members of that body to-night. Clark was elected unanimously. His name was suggested to the caucus by the retiring minority leader, Senator-elect John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi. Resolutions were adopted thanking Mr. Williams for his services to the party on the floor of the house. In accepting the leadership Mr. Clark said in part: "I am profoundly gratified for the honor just conferred on me, an honor doubly prized because of the unanimity with which it comes. I hope to discharge the numerous and difficult duties of the position so as not to cause you to regret the action of this hour, but I cannot do it, and no man can, without the cordial co-operation of his fellows."

It is alleged Swollen Arkansas River Swallowing Up Streets and Houses. Pine Bluff, Ark., December 7.?The Government dyke at at the foot of j Tennessee street gave way late to-day ' and to-night the waters of the Arkansas river are fast eating their way toward the mouth of Hardings bayou, which crosses the city. A little further and the river will strike the east end, recently rebuilt, where, because of the nature of the soil, which is sandy, the natural resistance will be but slight. Houses are being rolled to places of safety and others are being demolished and the lumber and i furnishings carted away. To-day five dwelling houses and the ware house of the Arkansas Packet company were swept away, and the greater portion of the Cady Hardwood Mill was destroyed. Barracque street for a distance of five blocks east of Georgia street, has been completely destroyed, and the buildings on the south side of the street are being moved back as rapidly as possible-with the water following closely in the wake of the workmen. tnat wniiiora, unaer tne name 01 Winteroth, married a Mrs. Mobley, who, by the way, was passing herself off as Miss Mobley, and after a few weeks induced her to mortgage her home for $1,500 and turn the money over to him to be used for the benefit of both, but that shortly afterwards he disappeared and when located again was living in Columbia under the name of Carl Davenport. He was arrested and gave bond. Thereupon, his latest wife indicted him for bigamy and adultery and on this charge he was sent up to the January term of court under a $2,000 bond. Williford has a wife and several children living in Sumter and claims that Davenport was only his stage name. He says the cases were trumped up against him by designing people. Cotton Ginned to Date.

" '"<1-17 ?# WILL DRAFT PROHIBITION BILL. Conference in Colnmbia Last Week. Plan of Action Decided on. Columbia, Dec. 3.?The conference of prohibitionists, held in the senate chamber this afternoon, decided to ask the general assembly to pass at the coming session an iron-clad State prohibition law, and a committee consisting of Senator J. C. Otts, of Cherokee, Representative Jno. G. Richards, of Kershaw, Charles A. Smith, of Florence, and Mendel L. ! Smith, of Kershaw, was appointed to draft the bill that will be submitted to the legislature. Rev. C. E. Burts, of Edgefield, president of the Anti-Saloon League of South Carolina, presided. The conference was behind closed doors, and the announcement of its action was made by Rev. J. L. Harley, secretary of the league. It was intended originally to hold a mass meeting to-night in the hall of the house, to be addressed by Dr. P. A. Baker, secretary of the National Anti-Saloon League, but Dr. Baker could not be here and the meeting tonight was called off. The open convention set for tomorrow was also abandoned, as several of those present this evenng desired to return home. There were about thirty-five present this afternoon. Secretary Harley stated tonight that every county would be organized for the prohibition fight. "Night Rider" Cases to be Tried, j Union City, Tenn., Dec. 6.?In j preparation for the second special | term of court, called in connection | with the recent night rider attacks j in the Reelfoot lake region, a con-1 ference of the State attorneys was held to-day and plans to be followed by the prosecution perfected. No announcement as to the result of the conference was made. Another grand jury will be empaneled and more indictments re-! turned. It is not improbable that | the men indicted by the outgoing I grand jury will be reindicted because j of the contention of the defense as to i the legality of that court, it being i asserted that a failure properly 10 publish the fact in advance of its convening invalidates it. The State will announce itself ready when the first cases are called and it is probable that the work of securing a jury will begin on Tuesday or Wednesday. Engineer Dies at His Post.

White Girls Ordered Not to Appear Before Negro Audience. Inspector Sullivan, of the city assessor's office, refused to allow the Cox family, white vaudeville actors,, composed of a man, a youth and three girls, to appear last night on the stage at "Dreamland," a moving picture theatre for colored patrons in King street. The Cox family had been showing in Charleston for several weeks before white audiences, but the proposition to have them appear before negro audiences was too much for the j local license authorities to stomach. I Cox,, the manager of the family, said he did not realize tne sentiment that he was stirring up here when he proposed to put his girls upon the stage of the negro theatre. The police will back up the city assessor's department and will not allow the Cox family to appear before colored audiences, unless the present sentiment of the authorities changes decidedly.?Charleston Evening Post.
