THE WEEKLY LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. O., JANTJARY|9, 1896. News Notes From All Parts of South CarcKna. Utah Starts OffWith the Prom ise of a Bright Future. INTERESTIITO, IMPORTAITT ITCIII THE SPATE OFFIOrALS INSTALLED A Workman a Morrlble IJcatli at Charleston — Twenty-K.ght Cillzons ol Abbeville County Arrt>sta«l For Violat ing the Dispensary Law—A Murderer Hanged at Haruwell, Ete. Columbia, Jan. 8.—The phosphate mining industry in this state, which was long one of the largest in the world, and which was a great source of wealth, appears to be doomed. The depressi m has reached the climax, and with dull ness in the business and the sen >us coin- petition in this and foreign countr 's, no way for the early revival of the business is in sight. The state gets a royalty of 50 cents a ton on all phos phates mined in the navigable rivers, and $75,000 from this source is pledged as a sinking fund for the payment of the state debts. It is not thought that the business will get so depress '< l ;is n <t to bring in this amount, but that will be about all, whereas the sum coming into the treasury from that source has amounted to from §-.’50,0J0 to $000,000 in former years. Phosphate Inspector Jones, in his an nual report to the legislature, win di has just been made, says the outlo >k 1 <r the business is gloomy in the extreme. Prices have sunk to a figure never b ' ore known, and the greatest discouragement { revails, b >th iu Florida and this state, t is impossible to get in Europe now even as high as 6 pence a unit; the prices vary from 5 to 5% pence. At these prices, after paying th > royalty, and with the most favorable freights, the mining companies are unable to make more than $1 per t >n for their rock. This does not enable them to live. Violated the Dispensary Law. » Columbia, S. C., Jan. 8.—Twenty- eight citizens of Greenwood, Abbeville county, were arrested by the deputy sheriff of that county on the charge of Violating the dispensary law. The affi davits were sw< >rn to by C unstable La- far, who figured so prominently in one of the dispensary shooting scrapes and in the Columbia club case.

Chicago, Jan. 7.—In the United States circuit court the assessment of the board of equalization of the county of Floyd, lud., of $.’03,099 on the Ke i- tucky and Indiana bridge connecting New Albany with L misville, wa; af firmed.

POLK WELLS. a new state, with her vast resources, started off with the promise of a bright and glorious future. The city was crowded with people from all parts of tho state. Acting Govern r Richards had, by proclama tion. declared the day a holiday. All bu inoss was suspended and the build- in is along the principal streets were deci rated with the national colors. The day was ushered in by the ring ing of bells and sounding of all the steam whistles in tho city. At 11 o’clock the street parade, under the direction of Grand Marshal Burton r moved from tho corner of -finm and Third street^^ TTe'^irade included > ^il«£i<TTr^P('iiroso and rt. T, federal tro ps and the National guard of Utah, members of the legislature, civic socie- *tie-i and citizens.

The Troop# Are Falling Back Before the Triumphant Rebel Army—Spanish Mili tary Authorities Outgeneraled—Conspir acy to Destroy Government Buildings at Havana Frostrated. Havana, Jan. 6.—Unless all indica tions are misleading, the end of the Cuban insurrection is at hand, and tho result, it would seem, must be in favor of the insurgents, whose armies, under Maximo Gomez, Antonio, Maceo and Quintin Banderea are nearing this city from three different directions. News Via Key West. New York, Jan. 6.—A special to The Herald from Key West, Fla., says: Startling advices have been received here from the city of Havana to the ef fect that the whole province of Havana is up in arms against the government. While no netails are given of .actual en gagements, tne reports say that the gov ernment troops are falling back every where in the disaffected western re gions before the triumphant rebel army. To allay as much as possible the panic excited by this condition of affairs, the chief officials in tho capital are sending out in every direction false dispatches about the situation. That these at tempts at stifling tho facts are far from successful is sfiown by the wide eurreu- cv which has been given to the rumor that the actual crisis in tho revolution has arrived, aud that far from holding tho insurgents in chock the Spanish military authoritios have been outgen eraled, have allowed their foes to turn tho flank of their main position and have thus found themselves in a mili tary dilemma of tho most humiliating as well as serious character. Not only are highly imaginative re ports of Spanish victory disseminated, the Havana advices state, but the vigi lance of tho censor has been redoubled and letters, as well as telegrams and cable messages, are subjected to rigid examination, that the furnished by the authorities palace may not be alarmi^r'C'contradicted by the reci- ^.tloii of actual facts relating to tho ‘crisis. Another report received hero at a late hour is that a conspiracy to destroy tho government buildings in Havana by dy namite has just been disclosed aud the plot of the conspirators frustrated. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. A Drunken Row Results In a Double Mur der lu Virginia —Woman the Cause. Sargent, Ky., Jan. J.—Information has just been received here from Don key, a little hamlet near Pound, two miles from Pound Gap, in Wise county, Ya., of a terrible battle and double murder there, the result of a drunken row over a woman of bad character. It seems that Bill Weils aud Gas Os borne, always known as good citizens, with Jim Cox and Ab Williams, two d'-sperato mountain outlaws, met on the public road half a mile from Donk ey, heavily armed with Winchesters, for tho purp >se of lighting it out. Fir ing was immediately begun and it con tinued for more than two hours. Short ly after the firing commenced a deputy sheriff of Wise county, whose name has n< t been learned, appeared on the scene, but could not stop the fighting. Soon Wells and Orborne lay lifeless on tiie r lauside, with Cox seriously wound ed, being shot twice. The deputy sher iff also received a serious wound in tho left leg. This was the most fatal fight in that section sinee the Mullins family, five in ! number, were killed at Pound Gap on May 12, 1892, by Doc Taylor aud tho Flemings. An Klevator’s Fatal Fall. Chicago, Jan. 4.—By the falling of a freight elevator, B. Linde was killed, Samuel Breit fatally, and Henry Sha- fero seriously hurt.

Plant, the Florida railway magnet, says that the Florida orange groves suffered hut little from the recent cold wave and that there will be a good crop of oranges, notwithstanding contrary re- purls (brought the country. No Truth In the Report. Nashville, Jan. 4.—A dispatch from Know die, Tenn., says there is no troth ill \ii a buttle between moonshiners ui.d officers on North Carolina soil, near the Tennessee line. GOVERNMENT ALERT. American Interests Will He Protected In Case Havana Is Attacked. Washington, Jan. 6.—The campaign in Cuba is being closely observed by tho administration, in view of the reiterated reports of insurgent successes iu their operations near Havana. In the event that they actually attack the capital of the island in force, it is possible that the North Atlantic squadron may be or dered to Havana iu order to bo in posi tion to guard American interests during the disturbed conditions that may be expected to accompany a siego. It is not probable that exception could be taken to the presence of our vessels in such case by Spain, as it is customa ry for powers having large interests and many citizens in a city so beset, to have some naval force present for their pro tection in an emergency, as was the case at Rio de Janeiro, for instance. Garza Joins the Cabans. New York, Jan. 6.—A special from Tampa, Fla., to a local paper says: Cat- arino Garza, the famous Mexican revo lutionist, has joined the Cuban patriots. He succeeded Hernandez in the com mand. Garza, owing to his daring au4 experience, may have command of the rebel department of the Rauehuelo dis trict. Catarino Garza is a bold aud un compromising fighter. He will cause much trouble. Bad News For Spaniards. Barcelona, Jan. 6.—News most un favorable to the Spanish government has been received here from Cuba. It is understood that the insurgent forces are pressing around Havana LIVES CRUSHED OUT. Four Men Instantly Killed In a Pennsyl vania Mine Accident. Shamokin, Pa., Jan. 6.—While four workmen were being lowered into tho new shaft of the Luke Fidler mine the “billy” which balances the elevator and which weighs about 1,000 pounds fell upon them without warning. They were instantly killed, their bodies being crushed so horribly as to make them al most unrecognizable, Tho victims were: James Merritt, aged 25 years, of Springfield, Pa.; leaves a widow and one child. Stephen Merritt, aged 28 years, of Springfield, Pa.; leaves a widow ana one child. Patrick Lynch, 38 years old, of Spring- field, Pa.; single. Peter Robert, 28 years old. of Spring- field, Pa.; leaves a widow aud one child. The men were engaged on the night shift in sinking the new shaft and were hoisted to the top at 4 o’clock to eat their breakfasts. An hour later the two Merritts, Lynch and Robert stepped into the shaft bucket and were being lowered into the workings, but when tho bncket had descended about 800 feet Engineer Bowen noticed a jarring of the rope and immediately stopped tho machinery. The workmen on top found that the bncket was no longer attached to the wire rope aud they rigged up another bucket and were slowly lowered to the bottom of the shaft, where they found the other bucket splintered and the mangled and bleeding remains of their ill fated comrades scattered over the rocky floor. All of the poor follows were dead. Minister Ransom la Washington. Washington, Jan. 6.—Hon. Matt W. Ransom, United States minister to Mex ico, is in Washington on leave. News from Aigood.
