Con ML PI NAVY OPPOSES BRIDGE. ' J. > Reports Unfavorably on tne Amend- . ed Bill. Washington, Jan. 29.?A sweeping ! report against the amended Cooper ] l River bridge bill was received to-day 1 by the senate committee on com- < [ merce from the navy department. < i As the war department reported 1 r against the first bill on account of i , the opposition of the navy depart- ] ment, it is to be taken for granted 1 that the two departments will stand 1 s together again. j While no detailed statement could t > be obtained from either the senate 1 [ committee or from the navy depart- ( ment as to the matter, it is under- ( stood on reliable authority that the t report just received condemns the < j idea of any bridge whatever between ( the navy yard and the sea. s As the subject now goes to - the 1 sub-committee of bridges, of which < j Senator Martin, of Virginia, is chair- 1 i man, the latter was seen and asked ] ! ft there would be any action by the 1 commerce committee in the absence i ' of Senator Tillman, who is attending t the Corn Show at Columbia.

Fort Mill, Jan. 30.?Jealousy and revenge for the alienation of the friendship of two women of their Dwn race in whom they were interj&ted is the motive which prompted Will Gregory and Ned Wilson, young . aegro men, to burn a barn on the ^ plantation of the Lee S. Nevins estate, in Fort Mill township, three fveeks ago, according to the confes>ion which the men have just made. :o a detective and Police Officer Col:harp. Both men are now in York county jail charged with the serious irime of arson. Gregory must face i second equally serious charge, that pf .attempting to poison the family pf Burt Nevins, to whicft he is also v said to have admitted his guilt. For some time prior to January 1, Gregory and Wilson are said to have ived with Viola Rogers and Martha Bucks, respectively. The women :hen left Gregory and Wilson and noved to the Nivens estate, on land c :enanted by A. C. Wallace. On the light of January 5, the barn used by C Jr. Wallace burned, the loss amount- E ng to.more than $1,000. Burt Knox, negro, being unable to a rivo q pnhpront nrpnnnt nf hi? where ~ " ' ' ~~ - " - -J ibouts the night the barn was destroyed, was arrested a few days af- 11 ;erwards and has been in jail charg- s id with the crime. But according to c ;he confession of Gregory and Wil- a son, Knox had nothing to do with ^ turning the barn and he probably will be released from jail. 11 When the trial of Gregory and Wilson takes place some rather un- 0 savory revelations involving the lames of two or three, more or less ^ r vell known white men of the townQ ship are expected, unless the prison- ^ >rs plead guilty and the trial is in D consequence brought to an abrupt t rnding. * a Urges Liberal Use of the Rod. - v New York, Jan. 29.?An instru- t( nent that would improve the New a fork public schools, says Prof. Frank U.McMurray, of the Columbia Teach- 4 ?rs' College, is the rod.
