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

Devon roil by Animals.
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. As it is tho only
oombination of all tho natural digostants
evor devisod tho domand for it

J. W. 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

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.

After biing asked which of tho two

Ho was then askod to givo particulars,

Tho Planet Uranus, |
Astronomors are turning their tolosuopos
in tho direction of tho planet
Uranus, whioh has booomo interesting
of la'o by reason of tho faot that it
has assumed Buoh a position in tho sky
that its four moons, rovolving about it
liko so many little goldon shuttles, are
at prosent in a piano at right anglos
with tho lino of vision from tho oarth,
says tho Saturday iOvoning Post. Uranus
is a vory intorosting sort of a world
in moro than ono rospeot. It is about
sixty timos as big as tho oarth, and
ono of its years is equal to eighty-four
of ours. Prom tho viewpoint of its inhabitants
tho sun rises in tho west and
sots in tho oast, whilo all of tho four
moons havo tho samo poouliarity. 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.

I TRAINS COLLIDE.
Ten People Killed UiftrTwetVj'f I v?
Wounded

It I* BelUved that Soma of
the Wounded Ware Burned
to Death In Subaepdent
Fire.
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.
James Birmingham, baggage master
of tho local train
