/ FINED FOR REBATING.
i Chesapeake & Ohio Pleads Guilty to
Phawp?. 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.

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.

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."

Former Sumter Man Indicted for
Bigamy and Adultery.

Grand Theatre, Columbia, was arrested
a few days ago in a civil suit,
charging him with obtaining money
under false pretences. 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.

Twenty-five Men Drowned.
Duluth, Minn., Dec. 6.?The owners
say the steel freighter D. M.
Clemson has sunk in a gale. Tugs
are searching the lake. The crew
numbered 25, and it is probable that
all are drowned.
A. B. Wolvin of Duluth, owner of
the steamer D. M. Clemson, has
abandoned hope and admits that the
vsesel is probably at the bottom of
Lake Superior with her crew. S. R.
Chamberlain of this city is captain.
The Clemson is a week overdue at
this port. She was caught in the
terrific gale of last week on lower
Lake Superior. The vessel is 5,000
tons burden and was coal laden.

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.

FORBIDDEN TO PERFORM.
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
