A COMPLICATED CASE. Veteran Wants to Get Back Into Soldiers' Home. Columbia, July 13.?Another complication has arisen in connection with the effort of veteran F. Douglas Walker to secure re-admission to the Confederate home here. < Indefinitely furlonged by the board of commissioners on May, after a hearing, for "unbecoming behavior and disturbing the peace of < the institution," this sentence taking the place of a previous one car- i rying sixty days' suspension, Mr. Walker has supported himself dur- < Ing the past two and a half months < by working as night chaingang guard for Supervisor S. H. Owens, of Rich- ? land county. When that position was i abolished Mr. Walker took his savings and went to Charleston to get : , up a petition which is now before the board, praying for reinstatement and saying that unless this is granted he will have to spend his last days in tie county almshouse. Mr. Walker/says that he regrets his indiscretion and is ready to make ' all possible amends. His friends say 1 that his offense consisted in saying ' % in the presence of the matron, Mrs. ' W. D. Starling, inadvertively, "He's . too damned deaf," in explaining why ' J a comrade could not understand what 1 she was telling him. The complication by the fact that ( the present inmates of the home have 1 \ signed a counter-petition, which will 1 be presented to the board also, pray- 1 - i^g that Mr. Walker be not reinst^ted. Friends of Mr. Walker say this 1 netltion is not to be taken seriously. ] They point out that the inmates, be- ? 7 v . ing under the complaint's discip- ( line, would hardly risk the displeas- ' ure of that officer by petitioning for * the reinstatement of a^man he had J caused to be discharged. * Thrown from Mule. 'Fountain Inn, July 12.?Thrown from his mule and becoming entanEy.'?': Sled in the gear, Stewart Jones, a 1 well-known farmer, suffered fatal in- 1 gjv.. juries to-night about seven of eifgh 1 juries to-night about 7 or 8 o'clock, 1 v ; V near his home five miles out from t jp Simpsonville. Mr. Jones, had been at work in his 2 field, and was riding home at the * close of the day's work. As he was J Bearing the house, the mule became c ||/ ,' * frightened and made a plunge, and ] " Mr. Jones was thrown from the back 1 ^ ' : ? of the ahimal. Parts of his body be- c came entangled in the plowing har- 2 r . ness, and the man was dragged and ? ^ stepped upon by, the mule, receiv ^ V ing injuries from which he died with- 1 iPpiffir in a short time. Must Pay Liquor Tax. i bs ' . Washington, July 15.?Sections of I kvN.. the country which receive their intox- 1 |p; ? icating stimulents in the guise of per- c ?fk- fumes, essences, medicines or drugs, r have been delivered a body blow by 1 fr ^ Commissioner Cabell, of the internal c revenue bureau, who has given out a t list .of more than 200 preparations * Ev which hereafter may be handled by Ikk ' drug stores only after the government t IfBR-'jy liquor license is paid. 1' - : Treasury department officials said E g?f-V" they believed that many of these ? I'k/ ^ preparations were concocted mainly r for sale in "dry" territories, where a the prohibition laws make it impos- cl Bp*; v sible, legally, to obtain anything with a liquor flavor.- t ?v s ' . It is estimated there are 40,00^ 1 druggists in the United States, slight- r ly more than half of whom pay the t $25 yearly tax* which permits them e to sell the preparations involved, d Other stores which continue to sell p these mixtures will now be required ''' tp pay the tax and the United t ! States treasury will be enriched ac- a cordingly. ' f |Father's Death Avenged. n New York, July 14.?Joseph Man- r zella, an Italiah, proprietor of a saloon f & and grocery at St. Phillip and De- c catur streets, fell a victim to the so- i |jf called "Black Hand Society" here to- s day, but his death was avenged a iew v seconds later, when his seventeen- j year-old daughter shot and killed the b, ' assassin as he was attempting to escape. ? Manzella had recently received i jfc . many letters demanding money. They were signed "Black Hand Society." s ? Y Shortly before 11 o'clock to-day an Italian, apparently about thirty years j old, caHed at the store and asked if i any money was forthcoming. When ordered out he shot Manzella in the g breast. j As Manzella fell he drew his revolver and fired at the assassin b^it it t has not been definitely established j that the bullet found its mark. Young Josephine Manzella had rushed into ( + + n* +V>?> firct c-Vionrl Hraxi'-I , i>. 11IU OIU1 ^ at ViiV OAAVV* MMV4 ?**% if I ing her revolver, gave chase to the I' assassin, firing at him as she ran. i When the police arrived the girl < was bending over the dead body of her father weeping. The dead body 1 ; of his slayer lay in the gutter outside s ^ with three bullet wounds near the heart. The assassin was identified ] as Guiseppe Spennazzio, said to have i emigrated from Sicily very recently. < CHARGED WITH FORGERY. W. L. Monley in Jail to Await Trial for Alleged Offense.

"}Vork on the Panama canal in its magnitude would surprise any man vho saw it for the first time," renarked W* M. Hood, of Virginia, rep esentative of a Cincinnati house, at he Raleigh. "I spent two months there this ear and my first view of the big litch almost took my breath away. The efforts of the French to dig the anal were pygmylike compared to vhat our people are doing. This is llustrated in the difference in size >f the cars and engines used to haul iway the dirt. It would be possible ilmost to place one of the French mgines in the cab of an American ocomotive now in use. "We have 35,000 men at work, tnd the payroll is $1,500,000 a nonth, or 42 tons of mohey. No >aper money is used to pay the men, >ecause of the fear that it might arry germs of disease. The dirt is lying so fast that it is marvelous, rhere are 380 engines and 3,400 ars at work, and the time required o unload 40 cars is less than 15 ninutes. "The great work, of course, is in he Culebra cut, which will take onger to complete than any other art of the ditch. It requires digging down through 85 feet of solid ock, to a base of 400 feet. They ire using a ton of dynamite every lay on this work alone. "I have not the slightest doubt hat the canal will be completed by .915, Colonel Goethals is the best nan that could be found to superinend the work. He is on the job very minute, and can be seen any lay at 6:30 in the morning at some art of the canal. "One of ^he most surprising hings to me wjis the perfect climate nd sanitary conditions. I was there or nearly eight weeks, and in all hat time did not see a mosquito. ?hey have grass-cutters who go ound every day, and grass is not ermitted to grow within 100 feet >f a house. The entire Canal Zone s as clean as an army camp made 0 by Colonel Gorgas, who cleaned lp Cuba and Manila."?Washington ^ost. What to Teach Girls.

R. P. Waller, of Norfolk, Va., who : is at the Imperial, says that he watchl ed through a spyglass the whole fight , between the Merrimac and the Federal fleet in Hampton Roads and l the contest between the former and i the Monitor. i "I almost got into a row here in New York a few years ago on account of it," said Mr. Waller yesterday. "I > came up here especially to see a cy. clorama of the battle which was be5 ing exhibited, and the lecturer made a lot of false statements which I I felt called upon to correct. He bei came angry, but when I explained that I had seen the fight itself he I apologized and said he didn't know anything about it, but was speaking the speech his employers had given him. "I was only a boy at the time of the fight, but I had several friends on ' the Virginia, as the Merrimac had been renamed after they turned her J into an ironclad. There was young Doming, for instance, a midshipman, ' whose father was an officer in the 1 Federal navy. Everybody in Norfolk had relatives and friends on the boat, and when the news spread that she was going out to attack the ' Federal fleet people began to flock early in the morning of March 8 to the waterfront. I was at the end of Main street, which was fully fourteen miles from the scene of the fight, but with the spyglass which I had taken from the house near by I could watch the things pretty closely for a time, until the smoke got so thick you couldn't see anything over there at all. "The Virginia wasn't much for looks. Her boilers and engines were of the kind that are used in saw mills and she could make only about four miles an hour. It was a beautiful morning when she got around the point and headed for the Federal fleet, which was lying off the mouth of the James river. I could see that the first gun she fired was to leeward and was not aimed at anything?a sort of challenge. Then she was lost in a cloud of smoke and we could hear the big guns going for what seemed to be hours. Then the smoke lifted and we could make out the Cumberland beginning to go down by the head. The cro^d almost went wild cheering. "But it was a brave show she made as she went down, with her guns firing all the time until they reached the water's edge. Some of them we could see explode as the water got to them. "But the Congress did not make any attempt to stand her ground. She just made lickctsplit for Old Point so as to get near Fortress Monroe, but she struck on a bar as we watched and then there was more cheering. Well, I stayed down there until it got dark, and you can imagine everybody in Norfolk was pretty much excited. I wsa awakened about midnight by an explosion. It was the Congress burning up. She ^ A z-v 4- V? y ar\ V\*?i rrV? f VA11 nAII 1 H llldUC uuugo 0\J Lfiigui, luai. ;uu vuuiu read a newspaper where I was. "Of course nobody in Norfolk knew anything about the Monitor, and when the next morning word spread about that there was something over there near where the fight had taken place the day before that looked like a bean on a chip people flocked out to the waterfront. "The Virginia went out and the two got busy as soon as the Virgina got within range. Once in a while w*e could not tell anything about how the fight was going until the Monitor drew off, her turret machinery disabled, and went over and lay under the guns of the fort. "When the Virginia got back to Norfolk her funnel looked like a sieve. There wasn't a piece of it as large as your hand which was not riddled, but the only-serious damage was that one of her guns had been disabled. They fixed her up and she mi+ tTTTi'no oftop that fn tr of a ? cm, uui imvv luuw w quv ? whack at the Monitor, but they never got together."?New York Sun. Saloon Now a Church.

Colics of Horses and Mules. One of the most common and alarming diseased conditions occurring in horses and mules is that of cone, rne term is a very loose one, being generally used to denote any abdominal pain whatever, and it may readily be inferred that it therefore occurrs in a great variety of diseases. It is however only necessary here to consider it under two heads, viz., spasmodic colic and colic due to impaction or obstruction of the bowels. Spasmodic colic is probably of the most frequent occurrence and consists of a violent contraction of the muscles of the intestines causing intense pain. It is usually brought on by giving large amounts of cold water to a horse over heated; by exposing such a horse to chilling rains after a hard drive; sometimes by giving a heavy feed of green succulent feed; and in horses that are predisposed to it, a sudden change of diet may be all that is necessary to bring an attack on. The condition is recognized by the horse suddenly showing symptoms of intense pain following some of the causes above mentioned: stamping violently with one hind foot; looking around at the flanks with an anxious expression; sweating; lying down suddenly and rolling in agon/, and with occasional periods of freedom from pain followed by similar attacks. Colic from impaction; as the name indicates, is a condition in which there is a partial or complete stoppage of the bowels, and may be brought on by overloading the stomach when in a tired-out condition and particularly with dry, innutritious feed. A faulty condition of the teeth may also be ?a predisposing feature on account of imperfect mastication of the food. This condition is accompanied by constipation and the animal shows evidence of a continuous dull pain as compared with that of spasmodic colic,, moving stiffly, lying down occasionally and groaning due to absence of violent movements. It also runs a longer course usually than spasmodic colic. While it is always advisable to consult a qualified veterinarian when possible, this is frequently impracticable on account of the small number of veterinarians in this State, and every horse owner ought to have some intelligent idea as to how to recognize and treat the condition. In spasmodic colic it is evident that a sedative or narcotic treatment should be resorted to in order to overcome the violent contraction and relieve the pain. One of the best remedies is fluid extract of Cannabis indica, or Indian hemp given in doses of six drams by the mouth. This brings on drowsiness and as a rule by the time the drowsiness has worn off the colic has disappeared. * Another good remedy is chloral hydrate given in doses of one ounce dissolved in a pint of water; or if a hypodermic syringe be available, two grains of sulphate of morphine may be dissolved in a little water that has been boiled and allowed to cool and injected under the s"kin. With impaction colic, entirely dif -? _ .n - J - J i.1.^ lereni remedies are ueeueu, iue uuject being to unload the intestines of the offending material. For this purpose five drams of aloes dissolved in sc quart of hot water and conbined with one ounce of oil of turpentine and one dram of fluid extract of nux vomica may be given or if this is not conveniently at hand, one and a half pints of linseed oil may be given, and if there is evidence of much pain three drams of canabis indica may also be given. Copious rectal injections of soap suds are beneficial also. These remedies will usually suffice, but if more drastic treatment is necessary it should be entrusted to a veterinarian. Much can be done in the way of prevention and by referring to the causes mentioned the methods of prevention will suggest themselves. .DR. E. BARNETT, S. C. Experiment Station Veterinanian.
