BLOOD FLOWED FREELY. n Excursion to Augusta Scene of Many Rows?Men Shot and Cut. S The thirty-two coaches of the exe cursion train over the A. C. L. road n from Sumter to Augusta yesterday ' housed many rows on the return trip s last night which caused the flowing y of much blood. The train passed t this city yesterday morning carrying n 1,500 people, and it reached the city d on the return trip at 1:30 o'clock 1:1 this morning. The train was in two y sections. n Aocordins: to reDorts received in " this city, there was little disorder on y the trip to Augusta, but on the return trip, what was lost in going over was amply made up, in the way of drunka enness, rows and shooting scrapes. n One probable fatal shooting took y place on the return trip which oc> curred in Denmark in which one Aidy '? Spires was shot three times by one Sam Dukes, so it is alleged. The > reports as to this shooting vary, but the story which seems to be correct s is to the effect that Spires had ^ caused some trouble on the train. s The wounded man In company with his brother was on the train, and e earlier in the evening it is alleged 1 Dukes got into a difficulty with one d of the brothers, James Spires, in t which Spires was severely cut in the abdomen. When the brother who e was shot learned of the injury done 5 by Dukes, he went in search of him. e It is claimed that he advanced on e Dukes with a knife, and Dukes told 3 him to stop. He failed to do so, and Dukes fired three shots into his body, 1 all three of the balls passing entirely t through him. It is stated that Dukes then ran through the coach and 3 jumped off the train, and was purB sued by someone, who fired at him as he fled in the darkness. > The brother who received the cut got off the train at Cope, while Aidy B Spires who was shot was in such a critical condition that he was brought B on here for medical attention. The 3 train was stopped here for two hours B to have the wounded man's injuries attended to and he was then unconscious. A physician was secured and the doctor had grave doubts if the 3 man would live until morning. He > was taken to Sumter for treatment s at the hospital. Reports received in the city this r morning as to James Spires who was " disembowled, are to the effect that B while in a critical condition, he is " still alive and resting. B Reports from Sumter were also se1 cured here to-day as to Aidy Spires the man who was shot, saying that he f was still alive, but in a dangerous e condition. An operation would be s performed on him to-day. r So far as is known, Dukes has not 5 yet been apprehended. In addition to this row, there were 1 numerous cutting scrapes among the * negroes reported. Several of the ne* groes were seriously cut, one woman B having been cut across the breast and " about the head. Many who got off 5 the train had blood stains about ? their clothing, and many were report3 ed on the train in the same condition. 1 There was no little drunkenness * among the passengers, there being fcun/trprl rPrinrtPd intoxicated. oc vex ai uuuui vu ? = Many were drumk before they left 3 Augusta, and many arrests were reported in that city, and it is also 1 stated that a negro was killed by a 1 policeman at the Union station in 1 Augusta before the train left that city. Two arrests were made here when r the train arrived in this city on the charge of being drunk, and for shooting a pistol on the train. A railroad detective was on the i) train, and it is said that he was kept busy from the time the train left Augusta until it reached Sumter.? Orangeburg Evening News. Woman Cleverly Robbed. g Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 17.?A clever robbery was committed at the ' - ? -?i union station to-aay wneu .vn&. Charles A. Hawley, a wealthy resi' dent of thet Rochambeau apartment house on fashionable Connecticut ^ avenue, Washington, D. C., was robbed of approximately $3,000 worth of jewels and other valuables in the e main lobby of the station. Mrs. Hawley had just stepped off a Pennsylvania train and stepped up to the bureau of information to inquire when she could get a train to Galion. She had a gold mesh handbag grasped 0 [ tightly in her hand. In the bag was a $10 diamond brooch, a watch set with a large diamond, $50 in money, a check for $25 and check signed but not filled out. She insists some one e t robbed her, although she felt no one seize the bag. Doctor?Have you consulted any one else? Patient?I went to see a chemist It and he told me? '?

Arkansas Man Seeks Relief From Sister's Meddling. Stuttgart, Ark., Sept. 18.?After kissing hos baby and his step-son good-bye, Fren C. Blohm, 43 years old, walked to the barn in the rear of the home to-day and committed suicide by swallowing carbolic acid. He left a note accusing his sister with meddling with his domestic affairs.

The county Democratic executive committee met in the court house here last Thursday to declare the result of the second primary. A quorum was not present in the morning, so an adjournment was taken until that afternoon. A recount of the vote for congress was made, with the result that Byrnes lost two votes and Patterson gained three. B. W. Miley, Esq., represented Mr. Patterson, and H. M. Graham, Esq., represented Mr. Byrnes. The official count varies from the figures published last week only in the congressional race, therefore we do not republish the table. Servants Accused of Poisoning. Stamford, Conn., Sept. IS.?Pierre Heritier and his wife, Honora, arrested in New York Saturday on warrants charging them with being implicated in the poisoning of the family of William H. Searles, of Darien, will waive extradition papers and return to this State, according to William H. Brennan, chief of the Stamford police. Mr. Searles, who is a retired woolen manufacturer will accompany Chief Brennan to New York to-morrow and make an identification of the prisoners. When arrested both disclaimed any knowledge of the poisoning On September 7, the Searleses entertained a party at dinner for which Ida Pinnow, the family cook, made tea biscuit. Soon after eating, the Searles family and guests were taken ill. Mrs. Searles gave to Mrs. Mary Robinson, a servant, the biscuits left from dinner to take home with her and she too was taken ill. The cause of the illness was traced to the biscuits and the flour from which they were made was analyzed by the State chemist, who found it contained arsenic. Steps were taken to apprehend Heritier and his wife, who had been discharged* by Mrs. Searles after being in her employ for two weeks. Denies 111 Treatment of Babies. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 18.?Dr. 1 Douglas Snyder and wife of Pittsburg, who were arrested last night following the death of three incui bator babies at' the State fair here, ! were released on $500 bond early to day, Mrs. Snyder putting up her jewelry, valued at $2,000, as security. The cases will come up in a magistrate's court Monday morning. The three tiny victims were buried to-day in Cave Hill cemetery at the expense of the doctor. The physician and his wife were arrested on twelve warrants sworn out by Scott Bullitt, county attorney, charging "unmerciful exposure of a child" and "exhibiting for gain or reward an infant under 16 years of age." Dr. Snyder was arrested in Jeffersonville, Ind., while he was awaiting an answer to a telephone call for his wife at the fair grounds in Louisville. He is the owner of the patent rights on the incubators and represents an incubator company. In explaining his position in the matter, Dr. Snyder said to-day: "My arrest has come entirely through misguided sentiment. I am not exhibiting these babies for the mere pittance that I ask an admission for; I would be a fool to do so. "I have bought this machine and am trying to introduce it to the public. - * x. "As far as'the babies navmg uecu mistreated or neglected, that is all foolishness. Anyone who nows me in Pittsburg will tell you that I am not the type of man to abuse any one. I always have treated these children with the utmost care and have constantly had an expert trained nurse to watch after them. You see I got these babies from the Maternity hospital in Pittsburg. Although thej were normally born infants, yet they were afflicted in some slight way and I believed that they would be benefited by treatment in the incubator. They are all charity patients and it has always been my plan that after laising the babies I would turn them over to some good family for adoption. "The only possible cause for the death of these babies is that the electrical current at the State fair was not sufficiently supplied to me." See me before trading your cotton seed. W. G. HUTTO at Copeland's store. SMITH SAYS HOLD. Junior Carolina Senator Wants the Farmers to Hold Their Cotton. Florence, S. C., Sept. 17.?E. D. Smith, United States Senator from South Carolina, in an interview given out to-day advised the farmers of the South to combine and hold their cotton for a fair price, which he estimates at 20 cents a pound. Mr. Smith also sharply criticised the framers of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and censured Attorney General Wickersham for his prosecution of the so-called bull clique in the cotton market. In regard to holding cotton for higher prices, Mr. Smith said: "I shall not attempt to dictate to the farmers of the South what they shall do. But under the circumstances, I would be delighted to see them combine and hold their cotton from the market wherever it is possible for them to do so, until it shall bring such prices as shall measure the artificial price placed upon manufactured articles by virtue of the tariff. "My honest conviction is that 20 cents a pound for the present crop is none too high, in view of the supply, the cost of production, the comparative value of cotton with other textiles and with the artificial prices that now obtains on manufactured goods." THEY NEVER SPEAK. German Workers in African Monastery are Strange Men. The Trappist Monastery at Marianhill, South Africa, is a German centre, says a writer in the Wide World. The community consists of the fathers and the brothers. The fathers wear white serge habits tied with ropes and are tonsured. Their vows are for life, and one of them is that of everlasting silence. It can only be broken by special aispensauuu from Rome. The vows of the brothers are for life, but their rules are less strict than those of the fathers, and they are not pledged to eternal silence. Their habits are of course brown serge, with rope girdles, and they wear sandals. They do all the work of the monastery in and out of doors, and ply the trades practiced in the various shops of the settlement bookbinding, printing, engineering, saddlery, tannery, mill work, bakery, and so on. The monastery is entirely self-contained, and manufactures everything it consumes. The wool from the sheep's backs is transferred to those of the monks?milled, carded and woven within the monastery gates. Outside orders from Durban and elsewhere, are also filled in the various departments, and the moneys so earned are devoted to the up-keep of the settlement. The monastery is virtually a mission for the instruction and conversion to the Roman Catholic faith of young Kaffir boys and girls. In this work the monks are aided by a community of German nuns, the Sisters of the Bleeding Heart, who are located in a convent in the settlement, with a mother superior, but are not recognized by Rome as an integral - ?i. brancn or tne moLasiery. men cooperation, however, is evidently regarded with fuv>'- at- headquarters, and considering the cla.-s of work undertaken by the mission, their services could hardly be dispensed with. They teach all kinds of needle work, lace-making, spinning, weaving, and so forth, as well as household work, to the Kaffir girls in the schools, which are entirely separate and apart from those of the boys. The children educated by the mission are mostly picked up in the fields or on the roads, having been abandoned by their brothers. RAILROAD TO SALUDA. Now Definitely Determined to Build Line to Wards. Saluda, Sept. 17.?T. C. McNeely, who has in charge the building of the railroad to Saluda, was in this town yesterday and stated unqualifiedly that actual construction would be begun next week. It is practically certain that the road will be built from the town of Wards, which is midway between Columbia and Augusta on the main line of the Southern. The profile shows an admirable line and the distance from Wards depot to within 200 yards of the court house in this town is a fraction over ten and one-half miles. The impression here has always been that Johnston was nearer to Saluda by at least two miles than Wards, but the survey shows that Wards is two miles nearer than Johnston. The , Independent Construction company, recently granted a charter by the secretary of State, it is understood, will build the road. It is unofficially stated that it is the purpose of the construction company to complete the work within lour II1ULLLUS. Watch the date on label of your paper and renew promptly.
