Kingstree, Dec. 6.?John Rose, a negro less than 20 years old, charged with an attempted criminal as ? ? ~ suit tms morning on a n-year-uiu white girl several miles above here, was secretly brought to town this afternoon and is now in jail. -It is reported that the negro admitted intercepting the girl this morning as she was on her way to school, but denies having attacked her. He was caught a short time after the alarm was given and quietly brought to the jail. Up to this time no demonstration has been made though it is reported that an attempt to take the prisoner will be made tonight. It is hardly probable, however, that these rumors will materialize. This being salesday there was an unusally large crowd in town, but very few knew of the attempted assault until the prisoner had been placed in jail. Everything is quiet now. ECHOES OF LYNCHING BEE. Illinois Court up Against Stone Wall of Silence at Cairo Investigation. Cairo, 111., Dec. 6.?As a result of the recent race riots in Cairo, when Judge Lynch presided, the regular term of the circuit court commenced to-day, will be the most important in Cairo history. Arthur Alexander, accused with the negro James, who was lynched, of having killed Miss Anna Pelly, will be tried during the term. What investigation of the lynchers was made will also come up for a legal review, but there is little prospect of securing the conviction of the men who led the mob. General sym pathy is with tnose wno tooK tne law into their own hands, and the authorities have found themselves up against a stone wall of silence. While most of the citizens regret the reign of terror which was inaugurated by the mob, a majority now consider it best to let sleeping dogs lie, and forget the whole matter as speedily as may be done. LAUGHTER KILLED HER. Tragic Incident of a Concert in Birmingham. Mary Ann Betridge, aged 61, was said at an inquest held at Birmingham, England, a few days ago to have died from the effects of hearty laughing. Charles Betridge. the woman's husband, stated that she had suffered from an affection of the heart for some time. They went to a concert, and while a comedian was giving his performance his wife laughed heartily and collapsed. She was assisted outside, but died almost immediately. Dr. Fowler said that death was due to heart failure, and the jury returned a verdict of "Death from natural causes." \ -? es ai i) many Horses a High for our cui Mr. Bamberg is or two car load le meantime we its.

Wash Hunter, against the * State of South Carolina, now on ap- r peal in the Supreme Court of the t United States came before the Court ? this morning on a motion for a writ f of certiorari to complete the record ^ in the case, strangely called in legal phrase, "For diminution of the rec- a ord" by the addition to the record of the opinion of the Trial Court at ? J -t ?VUk *TJn nfor " ureeiiwuuu, at wuitu piauc uuu^i was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary. Blease & Dominick, of Newberry, and Richey & Richey, of Laurens, are local counsel for Hunter, and Jno. G. Capers, who perfected the appeal of the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, v represents Hunter here. Mr. Capers, for counsel, made no t objection to the addition of the rec- f ord suggested, but was unwilling that 0 the record should be further added to by matters which had not been j in the printed record of the case E considered by the Supreme Court of E South Carolina, unless in turn, mat- c n Tt'V?{rtVi >10 Hociro^ nut in thp Lf I O nUlV/U A.X\* UVW14VU |/uv ? ?? ? record were also allowed to go in. * Attorney General Lyon and Mr. Ca- t pers could not agree about these additions to the record and it was, e therefore, agreed to allow it com- c pleted only in the way requested by ^ the writ of certiorari and to take up a later on, as an agreed statement of a counsel, such matters, if any, as are to be hereafter added. It is probable that it will be sometime before the case will finally be heard by the Supreme Court of the United States. ? o Arm Lacerated in Gin Saws. d Aiken, Dec. 6.?On Friday J. H. * Adams, one of the most prominent citizens of Sweetwater section of the j3 county, suffered a most painful acci- * dent, which will probably necessitate N the amputation of his left arm. ^ Mr. Adams, while at the Toole gin- ? nery, near Hamburg, was assisting in i ginning a bale of cotton. The ginnery was short of help and Mr. Adams volunteered to help out. The ginnery is operated by a gasoline engine, which had stopped, and while the gin was not running Mr. Adams was cleaning out the moats under the ^ gin board. While he had his hand in the gin saws the engineer started; the engine, catching the shirt sleeve j of his left arm in the gin saws. The i n entire left arm was quickly drawn. e into the gin, and besides being brok- i p en, the arm was terribly lacerated, j a But for the fact that the belt was [ d loose his arm would have been; f ground to pieces, but the belt slipped, I r thus stopping the gin saws. Mr. I a Adams was quickly carried to the j C Augusta hospital, where he is now j v receiving treatment. It is hoped that g his arm may be saved, but it is s doubtful, as it was severely crushed, d Mr. Adams is widely known 'and i: his many friends are grieved to learn t of his severe misfortune. u * Sftl id M aid Mules this s stomers.

New York, Dec. 6.?That indusrial prosperity rules throughout the j Jnited States, and that the business j pen of the country expect it to con- ( inue, is shown in reports from 3,- t '00 representative firms, compiled by ] tie National Association ui jnauuacturers and made public here tolay. John Kirby, Jr., president of the issociation, summing up the result if the reports received, says: "It is [uite within the bounds of conservaion to say that to-day, practically wo years after our so-called panic, he country has reached a condition >f normal prosperity. By normal irosperity is meant to be understood i satisfactory state of manufacturing, elling and collections. "This statement is not based upon msupported optimism, but upon uch trade barometers as the agriculural output, bank clearings, manuacturing, movement of freight and ither well known indications." A majority of the manufacturers, n making suggestions as to the best neans to maintain a condition of iormal prosperity throughout the ountry. urge that it is necessary to ko^n down the Drices of raw ma erials, and avoid further tariff agiation for the present." It is further said that all interred in the general welfare of the ountry "preach conservatism and Ight wild speculation in real estate ,nd business enterprises in general, s well as in Wall street."

It is proposed t Duild a tunnel fourteen feet in d imeter nearly the entire length c Manhattan Island, with a branc "nnol nnilor tho TTa ct Rlvpr t 3rooklyn and Queens.
