Hitles. Albany, May 16.— Promptly at 8 o’clock this morning the United Trac tion company begun preparations to | move its cars. At that hour General Barnes, in command of the Twenty- third regiment, brought out before the Quail street baru his eutire regimeut. At the same time the Tenth battalion started down town, droppingont details at the street corners along the Traction line running to Broadway. One com pany of the Twenty-third, Company A, started to clear out the mob massed at the curve on Central avenue. Per- suasiou was of no avail, and back went the company a dozen paces. “Charge bayonets!” shputed Lieuten ant Colonel Brady, who was near by. Down went the gleaming points and on a rush the men started for the crowd. Just as they reached them there was a quick reverse of the guns aud the butts smashed against human bodies. With a howl the croWd started back, some with bloody faces aud some with broken bones. The mob was not allowed to stop until it had been driven three blocks away. Saloons Closed Up. Then every side street for blocks around was cleared aud details began the work of closing up the saloons aud houses. In two corner saloons they found surly groups, aud in one the sol diers had to club the men with their ri fles. General Barues then ordered win dows in the houses closed. Usually a riflo pointed was sufficient, but in one or two cases details had to enter the houses and close them, the womeu defy ing them. All the time inside the barn doors were live open cars, manned with non union men, ready for the word to start. On each car were two motormen, two conductors aud two Pinkerton detec tives, the latter with loaded rifles in their hands. Orders to Fire. “The men are ordered not to fire ex cept it is absolutely necessary,” said Superintendent Fassett of the road. At 8:30 the first car emerged from the baru and rounded the curve to the spot where the crowd had wrecked two oth ers Tuesday. General Barnes was on tbfc car and when it reached the obstruc tions a coupling was made and the dam aged cars removed to the barn. The crowd was too far distant to even see the operation, aud if a window went up A guardsman soon shut it with an order. YVhile this was going on, the street corners along the State street route be gan to assupit the conditions of mili tary posts. Details of soldiers in every prominent square kept people moving so that no large crowd could gather. At 9:20 a second car left the stable and started over towards Madison ave nue, a thoroughfare dot guarded. Ou board it were Lieutenant Brady and a company of the Twenty-third regiment guarding two motormen aud two con ductors. They proceeded over Quail street, stopping to remove flagstone obstruc tions from the track. The car was an open one. Householder, Warned. When the road officials were rea'dy to move a car word was sent to Colonel Lloyd, in command of the Second regi ment at North Albany, and he immedi ately began placing his men along Broadway at points where the trouble was feared. Householders were warned that a brick thrown from a housetop or a window would mean the arrest or all the inmates, aud stragglers on the street coruers were notified to keep moving. It was 19 o’clock when the first ear reached the last of the obstructions, and' then it was run up to the end of the line. In the meantime the company ran out seven other cars and got them ready for business. Ou each was a full com pany of militia. The first car moved out aud met with no trouble. Oar No. 2, with a trailer, followed a few min utes after. There was hardly a ripple of excitement as the cars moved down the hill to take different routes. There yrere hoots and hisses at several points, but up to the time the various cars reached the foot of State street no se rious trouble had occurred and there was no great crowds at any point. Evi dently the great display of military force aud the way the crowds were han dled had awed the riotous element Mob Charged Again. As numerous cars kept coming down the hill the crowd near the postoffice in creased in numbers and began to get excited. The militia charged upon the crowd aud drove them two blocks away from the junction of State and Broad way. The cars ran up the roadway al far as the company’s baru, andaltbougfi there were several thousand people, the hostile demonstration was limited to jeering of thoie on the cars. Following the procession of cars, the repair wagons, guarded by 70 mounted signal corps men, came down the street and turned up Broadway, where there was some repairing to bo done. The United Traction company has added to its five rewards offered yester day for information as to who hurt the non-union men five more rewards of $100 each. The strikers have called a confereucs , for 3 p. in. to discuss the situation. Striker* Gained 1 heir Point. Tampa, Fla., May 16. —All the facto ries resumed work this morning.

Newsy Items from Other Counties Oronped Together. The thirty-fifth annual session of the Marion District Conference has been in session in the past week. A celebrated robbery case is being tried in Orangeburg. Bartow War ren, a prominent white man, is the defendant. The robbery was of an express car on the South Carolina Railway a year aud a half ago. A jury was secured without trouble. Mr. Jackson Powell, who died a few days since at the poor house in 1 Union county, was said to have been 100 years old. When be was eighteen years old be was hired out to the manager of the poor house at that time, the same place where be died. Monday morning an accident oc curred at Mr. Creecy’s saw mill, five miles from Eastover. John Williams, colored, an employee at the mill, had the misfortune to come in contact with one of the saws. His right band was caught near the wrist and almost severed from the arm. Governor McSweeney has received a letter from Mr. A. M. Gordon, of Kingstree, stating that smallpox had broken out at that place and asking for a health officer. The Governor promptly telegraphed Dr. James Evans, of the State board of health, to take charge of the matter without delay. Mary McDaniel, a colored girl about eleven years old, was killed by lightning at Lykesland, in Richland county, Monday. She was with her father and some brothers and sisters in an open field. It was remarkable that all of them should be so close together and that no one else was hurt. The others were not even shocked. Governor McSweeney has received a letter from Ambassador Choate, in London, from the prime minister, stating that the South Carolina reso lution upon the death oi Queen Victoria had been communicated to King Edward, and that he appre ciated the attention and desired that thanks be extended and returned for the same. A negro stole J. H. Hunter's horse from the stable near Clinton a few nights ago, and was overtaken and shot by a posse of negroes hunting for him and the horse. The negro is said to have turned out the cotton seed oil at Gray Court some time ago. He died ou Hunter’s place Tuesday morning from the effects of his wound. Arthur Jefferies was sentenced to the chaio gang in Cherokee county for one year on th$ charge of larceny of live stock. The county physician and county supervisor report to Governor McSweeney that Jeffries is in bad health, that be la unable to work, and that he is a charge to the county, and ask for his pardon. The pardon was granted Monday. The Buffalo trestle ou the S. C. A G. E Railroad, where the wreck oc curred a few weeks ago, has been re built and trains will cross again in a few days. The work is nearly com pleted and very soon the bairel bridge across the river which has been used for the transportation of passengers and freight, will be done away with, and the trains will re sume their old schedule runs. Governor McSweeney has refused to pardon George Dickey. It appears that Dickey was wanted as a witness by Solicitor Sease, who asked for his pardon. Dickey pleaded guilty of obtaining money under false pre tences and a long petition, signed by hundreds of citizens at Clifton, pro tested against the granting of the pardon. They say that Dickey is a bad negro and that he ought not to be pardoned, and ought not to be used as a witness. A young white man named Scott, from Union, reported to the police in Columbia Tuesday that he had been drugged and robbed the night before. When be came to himself be was in rear of a Gervais Street house. He claims that.be lost a silver watch, a ring, $10 in cash and a check for $20. He has no idea bow be came to lose the money or how he happened to be where he found .himself. The police are investigating but no arrests have as yet been made. Monday night at Johnson Leslie Martin, colored, was shot by Jim Mobley, also colored, the shot taking effect in the left arm above the elbow and penetrating the left aide. Mar tin died Tuesday morning. They had some difficulty during the morn ing and Martin made for Mobley with a knife, the latter taking to his heels, and Martin afterward threat ened to kill him. On Monday night Mobley, armed with a shotgun, ap peared in Martin’s door, which was open, and after some' words, fired on Martin, who was sitting in a chair, resulting as stated above. Mobley made his escape. There has been a great deal of dis cussion about the decision of Attor ney General Bellinger on the beer privilege matter. The decision In ef fect is that beer dispensers stand ex actly as do county liquor dispensers. They are, under the decision, elected in the same way, they get their sup plies in the same manner and they are under the same rules and laws. County liquor dispensers have no right to allow the drinking of liquor on ths premises and beer dispensers have no more right to allow the con sumption of beer on the premises than do liquor dispensers.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, May 14.—Our last let ter cloBE^fl amid the reunion festivi ties and I promised to give in full what I consider the most interesting address on the occasion—the address of welcome to the Georgia veterans— which was made on Wednesday night by Miss Lizzie Lumpkin, who is a Georgian by birth and a South Carolinian by adoption. She was dressed plainly, yet tastefully. She wore a white lawn dress with a black velvet belt and white aud red roses in her hair. She made a graceful appearance on the stage and was loudly cheered when she came for ward and was introduced by Major General C. I. Walker. She spoke plainly aud distinctly and could be heard in all parts of the hall, except when the cheering drowned her voice. Her demeanor and gesticula tion were absolutely faultless. . She wore a pleasant smile, except at times when she threw her head back and with eyes and hands uplifted she appealed* to the Great I Am to bear witness that the aentiments she spoke came from an honest heart. She spoke substantially as follows: “Most honored veterans:—They have asked me to welcome those of you who have come from the red old hiiU of Georgia here tonight. I am to welcome you—I whose baby eyes looked first into the mother eyes of Georgia and, meeting their splendid tenderness and beauty, smiled back and lay content. Ail of you emiled with unutterable delight into Geor gia’s eyes at first and Georgia’s mother lips shall give you the last lingering kiss of life. Old Aunt Nervy Ann sayi: 'Taint big houses, 'taiot lands, 'taint fine clothes that make quality. It’s a long line of graveyards, yards stretching away back to Virginia, and even farther, w.tb a whole heap of graves in dem, whar dare is a heap of folks in dem what knows how to treat tother folks right.’ You know how to treat 'tother folks right. I know you do, for I, too, am a Geor gian. They tel! me I must welcome you to the home of my adoption. Wel come you, welcome you! How can I find words to give you a proper greeting? W'elcomejyou! when every thrilling heartbeat says I love you, you grand old men who guarded with your lives the vlifcln whiteness of Georgia. It was little to you that you gave those lives; you would have given them piece by piece if it could have availed anything. The cannon swept you down, but you went forward with a yell across the dead and dying, and those of your number who died gloried in giving their lives, and we who are left to glory yet more cry our eyes full of misty tears. Farewell loved ones! We give you to the greater glory of God’s presence, and yet we weep because your place with us today is empty, and not be cause you gave your lives to your country’s honor. They’ll meet no more at Richmond. The men who fouKht with Lee, Who met the marching Legions Ot Sherman to the seu. Who blazed the way with Stonewall. And carved their glorious names On the battleflelds of Richmond, Of Richmond and the James. They'll meet no more at Richmond where every little clod, liore red immortal roses As messages to (Jod. Where brave and bright they faced the fight Where Lee and Jackson led, And left the dim vale glorious. With the ashes of their dead. They'll meet no more at Richmond— The long night shadows fall On the divided ramparts where phantom captains call; And farewell echoes down the lines Where rang the glorious blades, A long farewell to Richmond From the boys of the brigade. I cannot thank you enough for coming, you Georgians. They call me a “Georgia cracker,” but little do they know how proud I am of the title. Give, me a horse and the knowledge, that I am a Georgia cracker and I’ll ride the world down for you. South Carolina said to me, Welcome those heroes for my sake—the brave, splendid boys. Give them a right royal welcome, tell them that my temple doors are waiting for them, that the flowers are reuly for the plucking and a State of noble men and gentle women stands ready to receive them with open arms.’ More than this, the Legions of Hampton give welcome to the Legions of Gor don, and above all stands South Caro lina herself who gives you her bene diction of peace and good will. Although marred and furrowed by the rude plough-share of a rough ag riculture aud by the still rougher and ruder wheels of wsr, how beauti ful is the face that South Carolina lifts to the akies and bow serenely and benignly do the bright blue skies and golden sumiet and soft breezes smile back upon this favored child. Yo«4«r in softlwA tofdtr »r$ her mountains with leaping rivulets, rich valleys and imbedded ore; and yonder by the pea are hei broad Sa vannah’s alluvial bottoms, her rich sea islands, while between these two the great heart of the State beneath her broad girdle beats and throbs with rich blood coursing through her arteries and veins, springs and rivers enrich ths soil and climate that has no equal. Here no Sinai, nor Pisgah, nor Carmel, nor Zion, nor Calvary stamp Almighty, stepping on the soil to make her a holy land. But -from every hill top and valley the church bells are ringing and little children are taught to lisp the Saviour’s name. This is a goodly land and may the Great I Am bless the dear old State. Ho does bless her and she smiles on all her children and on you, too. Of Georgia, one of our great men has said: 'Come, spirit of our Em pire State; como from your rivers that seek the sea, come from your waves that wash your shores and run up and kiss the sands, come from the air that heaves over your mountain tops, come spirit of a glorious ances try, from beyond the cedars and the stars, come from history that wraps you in robes of light and let me make the memories that hang around you line the Mantle of Elijah and that shall be the ascension robes of your new destiny. Touch the chords of your people’s hearts that they may rise up in the majesty of your love and clasp you with a brighter and holier reverence and build monu ments to you higher than the tower of Babel. May they glow with the fires of intense love and brighten with the light of a more resplendent glory May they swear around thcr altars to be still fonder and prouder that they are Georgians. As a daughter who has felt the sunshine of your skies, I Jove the majesty of your glory and. to your spirit I will breathe out the fondest affection and pour blessings on your pathway. I will clothe you with the light and bathe you in a rain of meteors. I will crown your heads with laurels and place palms of victory in your bauds. I would lift the shadow from your hearts*and make rejoicing go through your valleys with siuging Would that it was my destiny to in crease the flood-tide of your prosper ity as it will be mine to share your fortune, and when my years shall be ended at last, I would sleep beneath your soil where the drip of* April showers might fall upon my grave and the sunshine of your southern flowers might blossom ab6ve my breast. The greatest thing a man can do is to fulfill a woman’s hope of him, and the sweetest thing a woman can do is to wear the crown that a man in his inmost soul places upon her head, aud when she docs wear it as she wore it in the past for you, the light of its eternal rays shall shine out aud make the darkness bright. Confed erate, heroes! the old Stars and Bars torn and battle-rent,are folded forever. All the bravery, all the fame, ail the glory is yours until the last Confed erate shall have closed his eves and folded bis hands forever. The story, the song, the triumph, the defeat at last, all yours until not one of you shall be left. Then the memories shall belong to your sons and your daughters, and we pledge you now that though we bring the cypress and the cedar and the roses to place upon your last resting place, the memories of your deeds will grow brighter and holier, they will last through the days, and the years and the centuries. We do not think that your sons will fail, but if they should 1 assure you your daughters never will. As the women of the South were true and steadfast in the past, so will the women of the South in the future be be true and loyal forever. History may tell of conquerors, It may tell of triumphs of men and of nations, it may tell of deeds of daring and re nown ; hut of all nations, and the manhood of all nations that have ever been, there is one thing that can be said of the South and of the men of the South, of the men who wore the grey, that they had mere respect for womanbcoi aud have more re spect to day (those who are living) than any race of men on earth. Your battles, your scars, and your years we love and honor, but for that knightly hand which you have al ways extended to womanhood we bathe your name in a sea of splendid glory and girdle you the cheviliers of the earth.” It is unnecessary for us to say that the fair speaker was cheered at al most every sentence. And when stepping to the front of the platform she leaned forward with her arms ex tended full length, folding them aa if she would clasp the old soldiers to uer besom, ti e gx'ieries went wild with applause while the old soldiers raised that terrific “rebel yell” which gave emphasis to their feelings, We would not have ednsumed so much, tpice but we believe the read ers will appreciate it most heartily, we hope so however.

GRIM REAPER IS NEAR President at the Bedside of His Dying Wife—No Hope of Her Recover)’—All Social F unction^ la Honor of Party Abandoned. San Francisco, May 16—10 a. m.— President McKiuley is at the bedside of bis vae, without hope that she will ever recover. After a comparatively easy night, she commenced sink rapidly at 5 o’clock this morning. Dr. Rixey, who has been in attendance . mst without relief for several days, hurriedly summoned Drs. Hirschfelder aud Gibbous. They ar rived at tbe Scott residence before 7 o’clock and everything that their knowl edge and skill could suggest was done to keep Mrs. Me. vinley alive. Access to the ouse for the firsi time was denied newspaper reporters. Guards were posted at tie door aud every one except the doctors were turned away. Barely Alive. At 9 o’clock the physicians held an other consultation, and at 9:30 Secretary Cortelyou gave out a bulletin annoauc- ing that Mrs McKinley’s condition had become more alarming, owing to the sinking spell at 5 o’clock, aud that the president hud caucell id all engagements. Later it was learned by the Associated Press that Mrs. Me Kiuley was barely alive aud was liable to expire at any moment. The distressing news was spread rap idly over tbe city, and he crowds gath ered about the newspaper bulletin boards, awaiting further information. About the house on the hill where Mrs. McKiuley lies groups of people gathered aud discussed in low tones the illness of the president’s wife. Every body who left the bouse was eagerly questioned for information, but every body was referred to Secretary Cortel you. As that gentleman was invisible to those who called, nothing definite could b@ learned. The Scott mansion is on the crest of a high hill, overlooking LaFayette square, and there is very little traffic in thnt neighborhood. When It became known how dangerously ill Mrs. MKin- loy was, even the few vehicles that pass that way stopped aud tbe streets on all sides of the house were kept free from noise. ■Social Functions Abandoned. It is very probable that the local com mittee in charge of arrangements and banquets for tbe president and the vis itors from Ohio will abandon every thing. In the event of Mrs. McKinley’s death, it is likely that the launching of the battleship Ohio, planned for Satur day, will be postponed. The members of tbe president’s cabi net called at the bouse early this morn ing, but they could be of no assistance aud they returned sadly to their hotels. From there they kept in constant tsle- phone communication with Secretary Cortelyou, who even to the members of the president’s official family was very reticent. The president was with Mrs. McKin ley constantly during the night. At his request nil relatives have been noti fied of the extremely critical character of her illness. She is unconscious most of the time and is just hovering between life aud death. Artificial heart stimu lants have been resorted to and three physicians are in constant attendance. The Knd Near at Hand. Thousands of telegrams have been re ceived, not only from all parts of the country bnt from all over the world. As far as possible, they are being an swered with the information that Mrs. McKinley’s condition is very critical. At 10 o'clock Mrs. Morse, the presi dent’s niece, arrived at the house. Everything at that hoar indicated that the end was approaching. REACHED A RIPE~OLD AGE Death of Negro Preacher at Age of 101 Years. New London, Oonn., May 16.—Rev. Wm. H. Connor, believed to have been the oldest negro preacher in the coun try, died at his home in this city today, aged nearly 101 years. He was born in slavery in Whitmarsh township, in what is now Baltimore county, Maryland. In 1829 he escaped, and for years was employed in a hotel in New York. He came to New London in 1840. He began preaching before 1850, and though never ordained, was at the head of the negro religious socie ty here and was affectionately known as Father Connor. His powers were remarkably preserv ed up to a short time ago. For Relief of Jacksonville, New York, May 16.—The Jaekson- ville relief committee of the chamber ot commerce and merchants association have received a dispatch from Jackson ville annonucing the rscipt of four car loads of oots and mattresses. These cars left New York on Saturday. An api>eal was also made by the local relief committees to tbe pastors of all oh arches of Greater New York, asking thsm to oo-operate in raising funds for paying laborers for removing the debris. The theatrical managers havt also been ap pealed to. Tried to Cheat tbe Hallows.

Columbia, May 14 —Daring the week ending Monday, May 13th, the temperature wae lower than during the previous week, but averaged slightly above the normal. The maximum for the week was 92 de grees at Allendale and Blackvilie on the (5th and 7th, respectively, and the minimum was o() degrees at Greenvili? on the lltb. Beginning on the Gth and con tinuing to the close of the week, there were numerous light showers over the entire State, running from a mere trace to over an inch of rain fall, but nowhere was there enough rain for the needs of crops that in places are suffering for want of mois ture. The ground is hard and cloduy in places, and in sections there is not enough moisture to germinate recently planted seeds. The drought is especially severe in Charleston county, where truck yields have been materially diminished. Hail fell at many points, but only in portions of Bamberg and Barnwell counties to an Irjurious extent, and there in places cotton and melons were totally destroyed and will have to be re planted. Cotton planting and replanting finished, and most of tbe replanted is coming up to good stands. The first planting, where not replanted, has poor stands, but some of it con tinues tocomejup. Cutworms injured stands in Marlboro county. Chop ping out and cultivation have begun over the eastern counties. A general improvement in the condition of cotton is noted. Corn has improved in color,although stands are still unsatisfactory. Tne plants are unseasonably small, but recently have begun to grow. Culti vation is now general, and about all has been planted, except on bottoms where the work is underway. Re planting continues in places. Tobacco transplanting is practically finished, and the young plants are growing nicely. Rice has come np to good stands, and lands, where dry enough, are being prepared for June plantings. Melons have poor stands, in sections where the crop is raised on a large commercial scale, but late plantings are coming up better. Cane is also in an unsatisfactory condition. Wheat continues to look well and is fully headed, but oats have deteriorated, have short straw, aud are suffering for rain. Colorado beetles are numerous ou white pota toes; in the southeastern counties potatoes are being dug, with poor yields. Sweet 'potato draws are scarce. Peaches are dropping in places, but over the western counties the fruit prospects continue {Jromis- ing. All crops are from two to three weeks later than usual. A SENSATION. The Storr of a Little Baby and its Un feeling Parents. (Correspondence or The Ledger.) Spartanburg, May 16.—-A child about a week old was found in the woods near Fairforest, a small town six miles from this city, Monday aiternoon. A young man and woman, strangers, were seen to leave tbe baby near the woods. They drove rapidly toward the city. Early in the afternoon a man of tbe same description, young and hand some and well dressed, hired a turn out and drove off with a woman with a bundle in her lap and went toward Fairforest. 'After 8 o’clock the same man came in hurriedly, asked for a notary public, said a couple at the Southern depot wanted to get mar ried. Two notaries refused to marry them and the stranger hurried away, saying he had to catch a train for Asheville. The afternoon trains were all gone when messengers came from Fairforest with the story. The baby was brought here to-night. Tbe couple came here a week ago and registered as Gus Shaw and wife, ot Asheville. On Sunday, the 5th Inst, two days after their arrival, tbe baby was boro, Dr. F. L. Potts being the pbysicisn in sttendsnuce. Tbe psr- ties are unknown here except in con nection with these facts. A telegram from the chief of police of Henderson- rllle, N. 0., says that Gus Shaw sod an unknown woman had been arrested there. Tbe pair were brought bkek to Spartanburg Tuesday night. The mao was sent to jail, but the woman gave bail and was taken In charge by J. R. Bain, her surety. Yesterday when the time for invea- tigatlon of tbe case of Gus Shaw and Sue Clarke, came up io Magistrate Kirby’s court there was a large crowd present. After the trial Shbw went to tba bouse of Mr. Bain on South Dean street and was united in mar riage to Sue Clark by Rev. Lewis M. Roper. The father of the bride was a witness to the oaremony. After the marriage the groom was relodged in jail. Whooping Cough. A woman who has bad experience with this disease, tell bow to prevent any dangerous consequences from It. She says: Our three children took whooping cough laat summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they iost none of their plumpnees and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this ^remedy.
