We learn irom the O1ser-er, and iom the Hon. S. Pope himself, that he will go o:t of politics, and will, under no considerations, be a candi date for office next year, but expects to devote his whole attention to the practice of his profession. Dr. Pope has been a member of the Legisla tre for two terms, and has ably represented his county. He was a faith;J, able and conscientious mem ber. We 'vor'd like to ask why the au thoriiies of the Colambia, Newbei. and Laa?ens Railroad, in leaving Colombia, crossed the river so near the mouth of Saluda and followed along the barks of the river so far? We thought one of the avowed ob jects of this road, and the great ar gument in favor of it, was to get off from the river and follow the ridge between the two river-s. And then by following up the Saluda they flank one of he richest sections of Lexington. To be sure, by follow ing up the river. even, the road is not far ::om this section. But it seems to us it would have been bet ter to strike the ridge at the veiy earliest plac possible. Over in the Fork, about six miles :om Columbia, would have been a good place for a nice little town, if the road had got ten. away Ilom the river. During the early pai of the pr s ent week we had the pleasure of a vis.t to Columbia, and while there went over in the Lexington Fork. Tb crops from here to Columbia are looking well. but the Brest cotton we have seen this year is over in this Lexington Fork. This is a fine coun try any way and the Huffman's, Nynamakers, YounQginers, Leitz sevs and Haltiwangers always have good crops, but this year they are especially fine. They were needing rain when we were there, but this they got on Tuesday. The heat in Columbia was yeiy~ severe. On Monday there were several pros tations 2:.om the heat and fort- or five deaths. Mr. H. N. Emlyn. of the Evening Record, died on Monday afternoon and was bii-ied on Tuesday. His funeral was largely attended, show ing the high esteem in which he was held by the people of Columbia. He leaves a widow and several chil aen. Our sympathies are extended the family in their bereavement. We publish elsewhere a commauni cation from '-Dutch Fork" in reply to the card of Capt. Sligh, of the penitentirry, in regard to working on Sundar. We would not have more to say of this matter at this time, but some time since we noticed an item in the Regis-er to the effect that the statement made by us in regard to the violation of the Sabbath by working the convicts had been in vestigated by the Board of Directors, and found by them to have no found ation in fact Possibly if their in vestigation had been extended a little farther they could have found out the facts in the case. The statement never would have been made by us, if we had not been assured by the gentleman who gave us the informa tion that the facts were as we stated them, and had we not had confidence in the truthfulness of our informant. The card of "Dutch Fork" is written from the scene of action, and in it will be found an endorsement of the facts as we stated them. We have no personal feelings in this matter whatever. We only think it is wrong to violate the moral and civil law by working on Sunday and so stated. The penitentiary is a State institu tion. and we do not think it necessary t;> wor-k the convicts on Sunday in order to keep it uip. We have no doubt the institution is well man aged and that the convicts fare well, somae of them possibly better than if at home. The Christia Neiyhbr has the following to say of the mat ter: --f the information of the HE.nAL .AM NE ws is correct we agree to all it has said. except that about 'the repeal of our laws' and closing the --Rather. et the guilty ones be pun ished straightw~ay-be made an ex ample.

Let the law stand and let the pulpits, including that of the chaplain to the peniten tiary-, speak out with no uncertain sound." The Hon. R 3. T.

The Engineers Inspecting the Route Between Augusta and Newberry. Special to the Atlanta Constitution. AUGUSTA, Ga., July 17.-The Three "'C's" will build the Georgia and Caro lina Midland to Augusta. This is what the chief engineer and principal attorney b"th say, or what they said to one of the two engineers sent to Augusta to go over the route from here to Newberry, lowering the grade for standard gauge purposes and changing the route in one or two sectiohs between Augusta and Edgelield. The engineers have arrived and start out over the line Tuesday. They are Messrs. Butler and Whitner, of the reg ular corps of engineers o fthe Three C's. company. The engineers will complete their woik on the line between Augusta and Newberry by the time that an ex tension is located in the direction of Yorkville and Gaffuey City. Both places want the road, and it will be built straight to Augusta and connect, when completed, at this point with Charleston, over the South Carolina railroad. Freaks of Lightning. A son of E. I. Harris, of Good Hope, Ill., while walking in a thunder storm, saw a blinding flash of lightning, and the next instant found that the brass ferule at the tip of his umbrella had been burned away. He was not injured. Lightning struck Miss Adeline Slaton, of Augusta, Ga., and deprived her of her voice, but did not seriously injure her. Two red spots on her left cheek showed where the electricity entered. Since she was struck Miss Slaton has not been able to utter a word. A party o' young people from West Liberty, Ia., went tishing recently, and, a rain storm coming up, they sought s-helter under a large tree. The young women sat in a wagon from which the horses had been unhitched. Some of the young men, by way of a joke, sud denly seized the wagon and dragged it out into the rain. They had scarcely left the shelter of the boughs when the tree was struck by lightning and a large part of it reduced to splinters. The two horses were killed, and several of the young men were stunned. Lightning struck the chimney of Wil lis Cruslman's house, at Soeth ';larks ville, Tenn.. passed down into the bed room and shocked Willis and his wife, who were.sleeping there, killed a dog which lay at the foot of the bed, darted out through the kitchen into the hen roost and completed its work by killing seven chickens. The chickens were picked entirely clean of feathers, the skin being left smooth and white. Lightning struck Charlie Spencer, a little Milwaukee boy who was fishing in the lake from the Government break water and killed him instantly. The electricity entered his breast and passed down his left leg and out through the shoe on his left foot, leaving a faint line s if traced by a blue-pencil to mark its course. .The suit of clothes he wore was ut clean in two, that on his left side being stripped off his body. James Smith, of Marin, Ind., took refuge from a heavy storm in his barn. He was standing between two horses and three pigs, when a blinding fiash ame and all the animals dropped dead. Smith was entirely unharmed, and there was no indication that the building had been struck by lightning. Ex-Prime Minis:er Gibson. Hariwell (Ga.) Sun. The Hawaiian monarchy, of which Eapiolani, who is visiting the United States, was queen, has been practically :verthrown by a popular uprising of the people. The prime minister of the king dom, who is an American named Gibson, was born and reared in AndersonCounty, S. C. We saw him while on a visit to the city of Anderson, probably fifteen or twenty years ago. He was accom panied by his daughter, who was said to be a princess. Gibson was the Bismarck of the Sandwich Islands. This man Walter Gibson, as he was known here got his start by teaching an old field school in Hart County. He lived in a one-room cabin at the old "Burnt Store Forks" of the road on A. J. McMullan's place. While there he added to the comfort of his family by building a kitchen with a dirt floor. Afterwards e sold goods, carrying only a very small stock. He was a man of educa tion and refinement, with a gift of gab. He interested his neighbors with stories of his travels and adventures; but they could not swallow all of his yarns. Lit tle did his Hart County auditors think that their garrulous Munchausen would ever become prime minister, high exe utioner, et cetera, of the Hawaiian kingdom. After the dleath of his first wife (we presume he has another), and which is said to have been from cold contracted on the dirt floor of the kitchen, Gibson left this country, and was not heard of until he turned up as prime minister at Honolulu. It is said that he managed the affairs of the government to the very best advantage for W alter Gibson, and as he grew great he grew rich. A cor responding growth in poverty upon the part of Kalakaua's subjects is said to be the prime cause of the revolt. Murder of a MIissionary. SAN FRANCIsco, July 18.--Informa tion arrived to-day from Onulaska that Bishop Seghers, a Catholic Missionary, was murdered by his companion one night in November last. The scene of the traged y was on the bnsof the Yokone River, about five hundred miles from its mouth, and fully sixty miles from any habitation. The murderer is Frank Fuller, a young man from Port]and, Oregon, who accompanied the Bishop as companion and servant. He gave himself up. No cause for the deed is given. The Bishop was formerly of Baltimore, Md., and prior co being named as Bishop of Alaska was Archbishop of Oregon and Washington Territory. He left for Alaska last summer to perform mission ary work among the Indians, but was allowed by the Papal See to retain his honorary title as Archbishop. A Cool Ian. Dr. J. F. Eves, of Welborn, Texas, is the coolest man on record so far during the hot wave. The other day he was making a prohibition speech in answer to a fellow-citizen who had just preceded him. He was very severe on his opponent and that worthy took up his rifle, deliberately aimed at the doctor, and fired. The ball penetrated a tree close to the speaker's head. Dr. Eves continued his speech, remarking, by way of parenthesis, "Now you see, gentle men, how unsteady are the nerves of hese anti-nrohibitionisf-s." A SWELTERING CONTINENT.

The Ontario Railroad Horror. DETnOIT, MIlCH., July 16.-A special from St. Thomas, Ont., in relation to the railroad disaster there yesterday places the number of killed at 19 and 40 injured. En gineer Donnelly was found in the cab with his hands on the lever still. To add additional horror to the al ready sufficiently appalling affair, the section of the freight train into which the engine of the passenger plunged consisted 'of two cars con taining tanks of oil, and almost be fore the passengers heard the crash it was followed by a tremendous explosion. A pyramid of red fire and black clouds towered up in the air, 'and in a moment sheets of fire reached out and enveloped the cars, dwellings and warehouses in the vi cinity, causing a loss of about $50, 000. Herman Ponsfo.rd, of the fire department, was literally encircled by fire and was burnt from head to foot. His injuries are horrible. A number of others were fatally burned. A. Francis, United States consul, was sruck by a hose reel and terri bly injured. His recovery is doubt ful. As soon as the crash camne the utmost confusion prevailed. s.nd-the shrieks of women and children were heartrending. LATER.-ThIe total number of casualities so far reported is fully 100. Twelve persons are known to be dead. Other deaths are probable. Many who were seriously injured by the explosion are lying at their own homes or those of friends, and it is almost inipossible to learn their con dition. An investigation will be held in regard to the cause of the accident and to discover upon whose shoulders the blame rests. It is re ported that the engineer had been drinking, but it is claimed that the main cause of the disaster was the failure of the air brakes to work.

JAKE SHAR"S SENTENCE. The Great Eriber Se.t ' S-n-Sing for For:. Year NEw XoraK. July 1-4. Jacob Sharp slept bettor last night than for some nights previous, but it seemed to be the sleep of utter exhaustion and he seemed to be but little rereshed by it when he arose at 9 o'clock this morning. His wife sat by his bedside through the night fanning him while he was asleep and giving him cool ing drinks when he awoke at inter vals. After he arose from bed she assisted him to dress for his second trip to the Cotut of Over and Ter miner, to receive sentence. Mr.'Sharp and the rest of his f am ilv, like the prisoner himself, were silent. The excitement was becom ing quite feverish, when a sudden hush came over the room as three raps on the door announced the en trance of Judge Barrett at exactly 12.15. The clock was indicating exactly the hour of 12 when Sharp was al most carrie3 into the Court-room. His suffering wife and son-in-law were cl)se behind him. and deep. lines of weariness and sorrow over spread their faces as they seated themselves beside the convicted inrmi and fanned his livid face without bringing anything like a semblance of color back to it. Mr. Martin, of the' defense, moved for a new trial, but Judge Barrett, denied the motion. I District Attorney Ma: ine then stood up to move the' Court to sen tence the prisoner. Hie st-ted that he considered it his duty to ask the Court to app)oint physicians to look into the prisoner's condition of health and read some certificates from Drs. Allen. Hamilton and Jane way to the effect that the prisoner's health was very bad and that he was suffering from diabetes, inflammation of the kidneys and organic disease of the heart, which were of serions import to a man of his years. He then read Dr. Hamilton's rep)ort on the condition of Sing Sing and the arrangements for the care of the sick, which. he said, were of the most excellent character all around. Mr. Mitchell then stood up to make a last appeal for the defence. He said he did not wish to delay the Court, but would ask the Judge to temp)er justice with mercy. Judge Barrett then proceeded to deliver THE sENTENeF.( He said that he had never per formed so delicate a task in his whole professional career. He had received many letters from many people pleading mercy and otherwise, but the Court was not appointed to be merciful any more than was dicta ted by the laws of justice. A judge is appointed to award the penalty in accordance to - the offence when all the circumstances connected with the commission of the offence have been duly weighed and considered. The defendant here, in his appeals for mercy, can give nothing as a plea fo lmnyhtage and sick ness. On the merits of the case he certainly is entitled to none. It is ab surd to state that he was not guilty of giving a bribe, as he was unmis takably the leader of the whole af fair. 'We have not herein, as in the case of the aldermen, any attempt to prove the defendant's good charac ter. The crime itself was an enor mous one. The raising of half a million of dollars to.corrupt half the Legislature. Judge Barrett re viewed the corrupt action of the do fendant in forming a bogus comp)any1 to contract with the Seventh Avenue Railway, of which he was a director, and alluded to the dlefendanit's so curing a mtillion dollars (of profit and the sheer larceny for which he could have beeni indicted just as well as for bribery. What is there to excite pity or m;:rcy except the age anid ill health of the p)risonler and the mourn ing condition of his family ? With over one million dollars in bis pocket he clamors for mercy without offer ing to pay back a penny of the mo nev stolen, so that should he die in prison his family has a vast fonune to fall back upon. At this Mrs. Sharp buried her face in her handkerchief and wept silent ly, while the prisoner himself didanot lift his face from the table. The Legislature, continues Judge Barrett, does nout allow us to go be low the mininmum penalty in such a grave offence as the present is. All I cannot be satisfiedl-those who clam or for the prisoner's receiving the full p)enalty of the law and those calling for a reprimand. All things j have been considered, and the judg ment of this Court is that the pris oner be confined for four years at hard labor and that he pay a fine of 5,00.
