Oharnley, formerly president of the Presbyterian board of aid for eolleees and academies, disappeared last summer ■hurt some $00,000 of the tunas en trusted to him. This weighed heavily on the sou’s mind, and it is said that for some time the young man had been ill. The sister and brother of young Charuley, both of wnom are out of the city, were notified at once of the second disasser that had come to them. The brother, Charles, is in New York, uud the sister, Miss Constance, is at fannth college. This second chapter in the first sorrow comes with crushing weight, as young Charuley had assumed the place at tne bead oi the family which ins lather had •o recently left vacant. During the ilavs when the story of Mr. James M. Charuley’s shortage was being exploited in the papers, young Charuley had remained in this city and borne the brunt ot tho crimination, no toriety and disgrace. For months pre- Tions to his father’s d snnpearance, it is said, the impending disas er, whicu had hang like Damocles’ sword, by a single thread, like.y at any time to be broken.

Count tblft* Urnce Mini Mat Am by %ioV«5fntM Columbia, S. C., Nov. 19.—While the wholo state is in a stir over tho killing of J. H. Turner by btate Detec tive Newbold, and about the fi^ht of New bold, Governor Eilerbe has stepped in and granted a inii parnoii to Liquor Constables J. H. Bruce and J. A. May. who kihed John T. Sims in the ••Darx Corner” section of Spartanburg county, on Dec. 16, 1893. The constables wore pat ou trial in Spartanburg comity in June la«r, amt both of them wore convicted of man slaughter, the sentence of the court be ing two years in tiro state prison in each case. Crawford, the other constable who was present at the time of the kill ing. was also charged with murder, hut his case was mispressed by the solicitor. After tiie conviction the attorneys representing the constables at the ujai gave notice of an appeal to the stale supreme court, and pending that appeal the two men were released on bond. They have been out ever since. Tbs clerk of tho supreme court has within the last few days, it is understood, been notified that the appeal has been aban doned. Sims was a moonshiner, and tho raid in which lie was killed, was the last upon which the constables ventured in the Dark Corner section of that state.

SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOLS. Kook* I ikp ThArn **Vi I He \t»ry iatmi LnM K<»r Mr*, Uiuiitui*. YorkVILLS, S. 0., Nov. 23 —The at torneys of Mrs. Lota Williams are be ginning to four that the lady will never VNiliz i the full amount of the verdict ‘ she secured in the court of common j Jiious for this county last spring against M. R. Reese, for the murder of her hus band, Charles T. William*, at Blacks- j burg, on Feb. 0, 1893. '1 he verdict ren dered in favor of Mrs. Williams was for fti.oOO, but before the trial it seems the property v as attached at the instance of Hart & Hart and E. A. Trescott. who defended Reese on the trial for his life and also at tho instance of Mrs. Jennie Roberts, a sister of Ret.so. Counsel for Mrs. Williams sought to enjoin the prosecution of their claims ou the ground of collusion ami fraud. Tho afiidai its in connection with the in junction proceedings made some lively reading on both sides and at one time during the hearing it looked as if it was abont to be a personal altercation. In deed, hail if not been for the interven tion of Judge Bennett and Sheriff Lo gan, £u#h would have been the case. The judge refused to enjoin tho prose cution of the claims and in trials, in winch there was no special effort to de feat them, ail of the claims wore sus tained. At the time of the killing of Williams the estate of Reese was estimated to be worth between $15,000 ami $20,000. Much of it has been disr-’puted since that time, however, and after the col lection of the jungmeurs just awarded, it is not thought that there will be very much left for Mrs. Williams.
