* t * VOL. XV. A HOT TIME. A Sensational Debate in H us<? cf h v. 0 Representatives. PHILIPPINE WAR DISCU8ED x S ., Lentz Begins Action'With Defective Ammunition. nnH i? tin. equal to the Ta?k f R. palling the Attsck There was a hot timo in tho ILu o of Representatives last Wednosday. Mr. Lontz, an Ohio Democrat, furnished Honsation of tho day. Ho usod a news paper pragragh recounting thejloth of Oharlos Lyland, territorial judge of New Moxioo, who had boon a momber of tho logislaturo whioh olootod 8ona tor Hanna, as a text for charging corruption in that olootion. This oallcd forth a sovoro romark from Mr. Cannon Gon. Grosvenor of Ohio attempted to roply and tho two Ohio&n \ wore anxious for tho fray, but Mr. Cannon would not permit it. Ho thrught if "dirty linen" was to bo washed tho gontlomcn should hiro a hall. La or M?. Lontz mado a sooond onslaught of a more sensational ohataotor of tho troops in tho Philippines and br ught down uiou himself tho whole Kopublioan sido of tho houso. Mr. Lontz attacked corruption in high and low plaoos oharg ing that a judicial phee had had boon ?iven Mr. Lyland in roturn for his vote or United States senator. Mr. Steclo of Indiana mado tho point of order that Mr. Lcntz was not speak ing to tho subjcot under consideration, but was "jumping on a doad man." "I am not jumping on a doad man." rcpliod Mr. Lcntz, "but on a man who is so alive that ho will rido down Ponn sylvania avonuo with tho president ono woek from Monday." Mr. Grosvenor sought to roply to Mr. Lonlz, who rofused to allow him to do so. Mx. Grosvonor thon angrily do clared that tho gontloman from Ohio, Mr. Lontz, had been guilty of a rn&li oious falsehood. "And ho knowB it." added Mr. Grobvenor. A very sensational opisodo ooourrcd when tho paragraph providing that not ovor $50 should bo paid for tho appro honsion of a desortor from tho army was reached in tho appropriation bill, whioh was undor discussion. This para graph waB seized upon by Mr. Lontz forabasofor an attack, llo dcolarcd that roports wore ooming back from tho Philippines that our soldiers were kill ing prisoners and said that ho know of a lottor roooived by tho fathor of a soldier in tho Philippines telling of how a native had beon buriod alive by his oap tors and thon bohoadod. If that was tho sort of oivilization that was being oarriod into tho Philip pines Mr. Lentz deolared that it would take $5,000 to prevent our soldiers from deserting. Again and again ho shouted that thev wore justified in deserting. Mr. Lentz's remarks aroused the house to fover pitoh. Mr. Graham, Ropublioan, of Pennsylvania, ohal lenged Mr. Lontz to produeo tho lottor he had roferred to, whioh Mr. Lontz replied oould not bo produooi without getting the boy in to trublo. Mr. Cannon in impasBive tones do olared that a gontloman who would riso in his place in tho Amorioan congress and adviso mon who had onlistod under tho Amerioan flag to desert might bo safe here but if they should say tho samo things in tho Philippines they would be tried by drum-hoad court martial and shot. This statement brought forth a round of applauso from the Republioan side. But Mr. Lentz returned to tho assault. He read a rewspaper aooount of a letter alleged to have been reoeived by tho father of a soldier saying that the soldiers were ordered to shoot every man and beast they found. Mr. juontz ueoiaroa that he oould net bo "brow-beaten." If such orders had been issued, he said, this congress collectively should bo ashamed to face (be world. He obarged that our soldiers were guilty of murder and ssid that the time had oomo when the country was entitled to know the facts and not to rely upon a "oensorod press." Mr. Cannon said the gentleman was lashing himself into a passion while the men ho slandered were busy in the per formanoe of their duty. Mr. Cannon said tlat in his lifetimo he had heard more elcquent men than the gentleman from Ohio enoourago desertion. "When the lifo of tho nation was at stake," said he, "men all over the north stood behind the firing line and enoouraged detertion. 1 leave the gentleman to tho oonteropt. of an indignant people," onoluded Mr. Cannon amid a whirlwind of applaum. "Was the gentleman on tho firing line?" oried Mr. Lenis "It matters not whero 1 wa?," re torted Mr. Cannon. "I was not disloyal then, nor now." (Renewed Republican applause.) u. I? w U1I * 1 luti iunuuU) xtupuuiiuau UI rOQOByi vania, challenged Mr. L ntz to bring in a resolution to ask thoseoreUry of war whether suoh orders as he had referred to ever had been issued. The result, he said, would show the report to be a falsehood. "I have heard suoh specohes as the gentleman delivered before," he continued. "They are but a revamp of tho oopperhead specohes from 1861-65. The copperhead oha.ged every sin in tho oalander to the Union soldiers. The boys in the Philippines are deserting beosuso you enoourage them to desert and the man who enoourages them is worse than the deserter. During the rebellion I thought if 8,000 or 18,()00 of the oopperheads had been shot we would not have been troubled with de , i ?. \ sortion. Somo of thoao mon still live? thank God vory few. (A.pplauso ) Thoro aro neno in my Stato. Noithor tho pooplo or tho press of my Stato oould bo paid (o make such ohargos as tho g< ntlomau has mado.

"I was defeated, ' ho oonoludcd, "you aro wol cotuo to the glory and satisfaction of it " Mr. Qrosvenor of Ohio also paid his respects to Mr. Lcntz for terming him ho'f a followor of Jefferson and L;n ooln, and Mr. Moody, lDpuhlioau of Mapsachusotts, almost brought bis side of tho houso up standing by reading an uttcranoo of Linooln condemning moro tho "wily agitator who induocd tho soldior to do>ort than the sollior himself " 'Has Massachusetts ahot Senator Hear?

A current roport of tho govornmont of India shows that during tho year 181)1) tho numbor of deaths among hu man beings attributod to wild animals was 2 966 Tigors oau-md tho death of 891), wolves of 938 and loopaida of 327 human boings, while boars, olo pbants, hyenas, jaokal* and orooodiles wero aooouotaM-j for a largo propor tion of the romaindor. Tho loss of human lifo fro n snakes roaohod tho high total of 24 621, a greatt r mortality than in any or tho four proooding yoars. Noarlv half tho deaths ooourrod in Bengal, -whilo tho northwostcrn provinoos and Oudh oamo nozt, with noar ly ono-fourth of tho total. In Bengal tho rolativoly high mortality is attrib utod to floods, which drovo tho snakos to tho high lands on whioh villago homestoads aro built. As will bo observed, snakes aro rnoro dostruotivo of human lifo than aro tho wild animals; but tho rovorso is true of tho dostruo?ion of oattlo. In 18911 no loss than 89,238 oattlo wero doitroycd by animals and 9,449 by snakes. Rcoont experiments show that all olassos of foods may bo oomplotely diposted by a preparation oallod Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, whioh absolutely digests what you eat.

TOLBERT STIOTT Returned to Town from Which Ha Had Been Expelled MET THE FATE HE COURTED. Both P^.tles Used Pistols. Innr cent Visitor Said to Have Been Wounded. Tolbert Is Badly Hurt. A dispatch from Grconwood to Tho Stato says Jamos W. Tolbort has uiot tho fato ho oourtod. Ho was shot Thursday on tho streots of MoCormiok, whoro ho had boon told that ho must not go or olso ho would havo to dio. Beforo ho waB shot down ho fired two shots at a young visitor to tho town of MoCormiok?a roan who had nothing to do with tho row going on botwoon Tolbort and tho oitizons of MoCormiok. Both shots took cffcot, ono in tho body and ono in tho hip. This young man, a Mr. Martin, was visiting his brothcrin law, M L. B Sturkoy, and was simply walking by whon Tolboit, aocording to tho statements of thoso presont, pullod out a pistol and firod at him. Immediately a fu?ilado bogan, with Tolbcrt as tho targot for all tho avail ablo shooting irons in and arcund that vicinity. Tolbort owns quite a lot of land around MoUormiok and somo roal es tato in tho town. Ho has ncvor at tond?.d to tho ronting of this property in person until this year; ho will likoly never do bo again. About a wook ago ho wont down to MoCormiok dotorminod to stay. In a fow days ho roooivod an anonymous lotier advising him to loavo. Ho rofusod to attaoh any importance to tho lotier and wont on about his businoss of looking after nn iarui lands. Thursday ho was ap proaohcd by a crowd of mon and told to leave. Aooordiog to tho statomont of tho beBt men present ho attempted to arguo tho matter and to lot it bo known that ho intondod to stay. Just about this time young Martin passed by tho orowd on tho othor sido of tho street, and seoing him, Tolbort pulled out his pistol and fired twioo at Mar tin. As statod abovo, tho shooting at Tolbi rt thon oommonoid, only two shots taking effect, both in tho body. Martin was hit in tho hip and in tho body. Thoro woro no more shots firod at Tolbert after ho foil. Ho was carried to tho homo of Mr. Piok Hollings worth, and a hoavy guard had boon placed around tho houso. Young Martin was oarriod into tho storo of his brothor-in law, M. L B. Sturkoy, and his wouods immodiatoly attondod to by Dr Molldau. Kvon if Tolbort's wounds do not prove fatal, his life is still in dangor. Tho general opinion is that if Martin should dio thero would be no ohanoo for Tolbert. Late Thursday afternoon a 'phono mossago from MoCormiok statod that a good many people from tho country woro ooming in town, and the universal opinion was that Tolbort had hotter bo moved. His physician said that ho oould bo moved, and his | brother, II. K. Tolbert, oxpoots to have him moved to Augusta or somo plaoe of i safety. Jim Tolbert, as he is known, has boon j obnoxious to the people of MoCormiok i ovor sinoo (ho Phoenix riot in tho fall 1QOQ II- -?J J >-i " j. 11 u> iu,;u iiu ruuuuruu mmseu aouDiy i so by the oolebratcd "oonsipraoy oaso" ] against some of the very best oitisnns of the plaoo in the spring of 1899. Ho has mado several attempts to go back there, but every time he was told quietly but none the loss firmly that he oould not stay in the town of Mo j Cormiok. Dospito these warnings he has persisted, and it soomsnow that ho will give up his life for his rashness. The people of MoCormiok are very oool and very determined. He has been told to stay away, and all would be 1 well, but to try to oomo baok thore j would moan trouble. The trouble has oomo. THE HOVKUNOH CALLED ON. Thursday night Gov.

Whoro is Ilonry Saxton, tho man who it is said, war dragged from .1. II Green's homo Monday night by a crowd of (ifloon angry men for tho purposo of boating hiinV This is iho question that is puzzling tho minds of overybody in tho neighborhood. Baxton has n;*t bcou found. Diligont sraroh was mado for him yostcrday. Mossagos woro sont to his homo at Fairmont, Spartanburg county, but his paronts 1 are no knowlodgo of his whorcabouts, not having seen him sinoo ho loft for Uroonvillo a fow days ago Tho swamps, woods, fic.ds, ditohes in tho neighborhood of tho mill have bcon thoroughly diligently search cd but in vain. Tho supposition is that Baxton has boon muricrcd and his body thrown in ditoh a or porhaps in a pond near wluro tho shooting toik plaoo Monday night. Tho pond at tho mill will bo dragged today in searoh of tho body of tho missing roan. Tho shorilf is dooply intorostcd and is determined to oapturo tho guilty parties.

To them tho sun looks only one four-hundredth as largo as it doos to us, inasmuch as thoy aro 1,800,000,000 milos away from that luminary, and daylight is proportionately dim, though bright onough tosoo by oomfortably, inasmuch as at midday it iB equal to tho illumina tion of fiftoon moons liko ours. Uranus has a diauiotor of 35,000 milos, and its distanoo from the oarth is 1,700,COO milos. r Different ViowH.

Ooo of tho worst collisions in the history of tho Auiboy division of the Pennsylvania railroad o mured about 5:3 0 o olook Thursday ovoning at Kusie's Biding near Bordenton and about ten milos south of Tronton, N. J. The "Nolly Illy" exproas from Now York for Atlantio City collided with passenger train No. 330 running from Camden to TreDton. Tho number of dead so far as known is ton and tho number .of injured upward of twonty fivo. A speoial train about 9 o'olook from tho socno brought four dead bodies and eightoon wounded persons to Tronton. Tho woundod woro distributed among tho throe Tronton hospitals. Other woundod passongors woro takon to Coopor hospital at Camdon. Among tho killod was Waltor Karl, onginoor of tho ozpress, and James Birmingham, baggago master of the looal train. Most or tho killod were Italians. Frank Boland, a passongor on train No 330. an omployoo of tho Pennsylvania Railroad oompany, had both legs out off. Tho doctors say ho will die. Miohaol MoGraw, fireman on the "Nollio Bly," is badly injured but is expected to rooovor. | Frank Thompson, onginoor of No. 330{ had a 1 ? brokon and is badly bruisod. Ho is in a prooarious oondi4jpn. Kdw&rd Garwood, fireman on No. 330. was hadfy bauisod by jumping, but will rnnnvnr Edward Happ. oonduotor of No. 330, wan alno injured by being thrown forward on tho floor of tho ratf- oaf of hia train. - His wounds aro not belio'Vod to bo tenons. ' -tr Most of tho romaining dead and injured aro Italians. The Italians wero riding in tho smoking oar of tho express train. Thoy woro boing taken to Atlantio Uity to do oanstruotibn work for tho railroad oompany. Tho two trains collided at full speed and both onginos were oompletely demolished. The forv^rd oar of tho expross train, ia both ltotanoes, a combination baggage and'ftmoker, were entirely demolished, and to add to the horror the wreokage took fire. The second oar of tho "Nellie Bly" turned over on its side and tho passengers had to olimb out through the windows. In this thoy were assisted by passengers from tho oars that did not leave the traok. Tho traok at this point is so olosse to tho Delaware, end Haritan oanal that tho passougers in getting out of tho ovor turned ooaoh got into the oanal and many bodies of the dead and injured had to be taken from the water. Thomas Lawrenoe of Trenton said he saw ono man buried beneath the ruins and orying for assistance. He tried to pry turnout, but found ho oould do nothing to help him. He believes the man perished in tho flames. The soene of the wrook was far outsido assistanoe. and when tho wiooking train arrived from Trenton it was after dark and the work of oloaring up the debris and removing tho bodies was nooessarily slow. The "Nollie Illy" was running in three sections, and it was the third section with whioh No. 330 oollided. Tho local train bad taken the siding to permit the express to pass, and it is believed that through some misunderstanding or mistake the local oame out on the main line traok after the second seotion had passed, mistaking it for the third seotion. The latent information shows nine persons killed outright besides Frank Boland, who is expected will die from his injuries. Kght bodies have been brought to Trenton and at least one is known to be undor the debris. Tho doad identified are: Walter Karl, ongineer of the express train.
