LIQUOR FIGHT REACHES CLIMAX Prohibitionists of Tennessee Have Bill to Prevent Manufacture of Liquor. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 17.?By coincidence the trial of Col. Duncan B. Cooper and his son, Robin, for the murder of Former Senator Carmack, which murder was caused indirectly by the prohibition question, comes up for hearing just as the fight for Statewide prohibition is at its height. Prohibitionists, by breaking the Democratic caucus,, forced a Statewide bill through the legislature last week and the bill now awaits Governor Patterson's action. The Prohibitionists are now trying to have another bill passed, prohibiting the manufacture of alcoholic, malt or "vinous" liquors in Tennessess. The measure;. known as the State-wide law* simply prohibits the sale of liquor ikithin four miles of any school house, v The Prohibitionists say that 1 * ? -* QfofA TTtV&4/"?!> II lilt:re is a spue m me uia TW U1VU I is not" within four miles of a school house, they will see that a school house is built there. . ?. . ' , vi .? Wonderful Rescue. < ; . Ainarvelous rescue of a woman and a bahy from the cabin of a capsized vessel came to light on the arrival of the liner Oceanic at Plymouth. While 12 miles from Ruatan Island the "British schooner Annie, commanded by Capt. C, M. Decker, was capsized by a whirlwind, accompanying a waterspout, which formed immediately over the ship. . When the vessel turned over, Capt. Decker and the crew climbed. over the side and clung to the keel. Mrs. Decker was in the cabin, and her baby was lying in its cradle at the moment of the accident. She was thrown down, and pitched through the door of her cabin into the companionway. Although severely cut and bruised, she managed to crawly , back to the crib, and threw her hus- . band's oilskins over it to protect the , child from being hurt by the debris. By that , time her husband and the , crew had climbed around the broadside of the sinking vessel. Disentangling the two boats as quickly as noasible. they went through a small porthole to the rescue of Mrs. Decker and the infant. Meanwhile Mrs. Decker, with admirable presence of mind, hurriedly knotted a rope out of an oil-coat and , other things and for a few moments ; there was a desperate battle for the , lives of the two imprisoned ones. The vessel was rapidly filling with 3 water, and the cabin was half full, . when, the plucky mother managed to make a rope basket for the baby and ; saw that-the infant was safely hoist- \ ed through the aperture. , Then her husband and the others , succeeded in pulling her, more dead than alive, from the cabin.?London j Chronicle. *v - ' Kern Charges Treachery.

P 1 CHARGED WITH MURDER. i Sovereign Lowe and Lee Boyd Lodg-j ed in Aiken Jail. Aiken, Jan. 17.?Sovereign Lowe and Lee Boyd were placed in the county jail last night, charged with the murder of Rainey Lowe, wife of Sovereign Lowe, at the home of Lowe about 20 miles from Aiken, in the Sleepy Hollow section. The arrests were made as a result of an inquest held yesterday afternoon by Coroner Johnson and a post mortem examination conducted by a physician. Mrs. Lowe died last Sunday night and was interred on Monday, but on the request of Mrs. Counts, of Augusta, mother of Mrs. Lowe, the authorities had the body disinterred yesterday and an inquest held. The evidence at the inquest showed that Sunday night Lowe came to his home, accompanied by Boyd, both in a drunken condition. During the night Alfred Glover, a negro, heard a woman scream in Lowe's house and beg for her life. Glover lives about 200 yards from the ;house. The screams were also heard by otner parties. Next morning the woman was found dead. Mrs. Counts came over from Augusta and says that she found bruises on Mrs. Lowe's throat and body and was not satisfied as to her death. After th^ burial she became so convinced that something was wrong that she came to Aiken and asked an investigation. Boyd and Lowe both testified to coming to Low's house after drinking. They said they retired soon after arriving. During the night Boyd said he went to Lowe's bed and called him and told him to get up, that he had a long ways to go to his home and that he must have an early start. Lowe got up and when he looked at the clock he saw it was 3 o'clock and they went back to bed. Early Monday morning, Lowe said, he called to his , wife, who was sleeping with him, and she did not answer. He shook her , and found that she was cold. He , said he called Boyd and they found her dead, with one arm on the back of her neck. When testifying Lowe is said to i have almost broken down. The examining physician found bruises on her j throat and body and found that there ] had been sufficient external violence j to have produced death. The verdict of the jury of inquest ; was that the deceased came to her ] ieath from choking at the hands of j Lowe, as principal, and Boyd, as ac- ] sessory. 3 The two men to-day staunchly maintained their innocence. Lowe is about 25 years of age and Boyd some ? * - i. J pears younger. i*oya is unmarnea. Mrs. Lowe was the mother of four lit- : tie children, the youngest of whom is j anly seven months old, and was her- 1 self about 22 years old. ] The case has created a good deal of < interest here, and any further de- : velopments will be closely watched. 1 A. 11 the parties are white. ] 1 A Scandal Brewing. , -.1 Columbia, Jan. a 5.?Some highly j sensational reports have reached the members f the legislature regarding 1 the state hospital for the insane, in- j rolving some wom en inmates and hos- 1 Mtal male emploj-ees.

Evans, after being shot five times, dlled his brother, J. G. Evans, with a latchet. The head of J. G. Evans was literally hacked to pieces, being split open n more than a half dozen places. J. G. Evans, a brother of J. H. Evans, came to talk over a business settlement. The two brothers had recently been engaged in the mercantile business. The older brother, J. H. Evans, about three months ago, sought out his brother, but. had not, t is supposed, settled with him for lis interest in the business. The men were alone in the home of 1. H. Evans. The conversation grew ? svarm and very exciting, and J. H. Evans says his brother sprang to the bureau and seizing a pistol, shot him 5ve times just over the heart, in a place three inches square. J. Ii. Evans, after having been 3hot, seized a hatchet, so he says, and buried it in the head of J. G. Evans six times, spliting it open in several places. After this tragedy, J. H. Evans o noicVihnr'c hnmp aftpr his I H VX&b VV U u\/4^u VVfA M AAVMLAV _ wife and brought her home this morning. He is in a dying condition. J. G. Evans was killed instantly.
