On last Saturday, October 8th, Mr. John F. Oxner, of Maybinton, was shot and instantly killed by William Murphy, a negro who had been working for Mr. Oxner during the year. Mr. Oxner and Murphy had had sone misunderstanding. Murphy had been in dicted by Mr. Oxner before Trial Justice Dickert for violation of contract. and last Thursday was appointed for the trial, but Mr. Oxner did not appear and the case was dismissed. On Saturday Murphy got a wagon and went to move from Mr. Oxner's. He seems to have armed himself well, as he had a new pistol and a shot gun. He was accompanied by Judge Glenn, Jr. He was not molested while at Mr. Oxner's. After going about half a mile from Mr. Oxner's he and Glenn stopped their wagon and began shooting at a mark, for what pur pose they do not explain. Mr. Oxner, hearing the shooting. got on his mule and took his gun and rode down to see what it meant, and was shot. The only living witnesses as to what took place there are Judge Glenn, Jr., whose testimony was taken by the Coroner, and is published herewith, and William Murphy, who did the shooting. The Coroner beld an in guest Saturday night, and we give in this ,onnection the testimony taken by him. tHE TESTIMONY BEFORE THE CORONER. Judge Glenn, Jr., sworn says he saw T. F. Oxner killed between his house and Maybinton. William Murphy killed him with a doubled barreled shot-gun belong ing to Ike Glenn. Judge's people told bim Will Murphy got Ike's gun to go hunting. Deponent went with him to Mr. Dxner's. Said he hoped Mr. Oxner would aot bother him. Mr. Orner came up and sked who shot the pistol. Will replied, "me." Mr. Oxner asked Will if he did aot tell him he would shoot him. Will said, "No you d'd not tell me so." Oxner said "you lie, you heard me say so, and I nean to get you and old man Reighly to lay." I said to Mr. Oxner, go back home md let him alone he is nothing but a boy. Mr. Oxner stopped then, afterwards he ,ame up in a galop and pointed his gun at Will and shot, and Will shot Oxner. Will said nothing after he shot Oxner. I topped the wagon when Will shot Orier. Ee fell from his mule. I went up to him. aun was loaded with No. 5 shot. Iloaded t a few days ago. Will was sitting on Left hand side of wagon over wheel. Shot rom Mr. Oxner's gun struck wagon body md left hind wheel. Don't know how far Dxner was when he shot. Both shots were close together. Had one gun and ,un barrel Will had a pistol.. Oxuer was sitting on his mule with gun in right hand. Oxner was on right side of wagon when he shot at Will. Will's gun was rovered up under a quilt when Oxner shot t him. Had to uncover his gun before be could shoot. Will and myself shot at a tree five times. Did not see Will re load his pistol. After Will shot O.er he ran down the road and I called him and bold him to go to Newberry and give him self up. Will Murphy is a yellow boy about twenty years old, has no beard, straight legs, about five feet ten inches high and weighs about one hundred and afty pounds, has rather l:rge eyes. Heard Will and others say that Mr. Oxner and Will had a difficulty before. Said no harm of Oxner the day of the shooting. He hoped Mr. Oxner would not bother him. Said if Oxner run up on him he would shoot. Will did not shoot first. Both shots were about together. Told Dr. Ruff this morniing that I thought Will was gone to hunt him. Will was sitting not very far from corner of wagon where Orner's shot hit. Turned Mr. Oxner :ver on his back after he was shot and Irossed his hands. Did not touch his gun. Wagon did not stop when Oxner shot. I thought Will was shot. Never bold anybody he was. Oxner was not :lead when I turned him over. Said sothing. Saw him move his hand. Told Mrs. Oxner not to go where he was shot. Don't know who brought him to house. Wagon was about stopped when Will Eurphy fired. Amor Buff says he heard the shots fired and they were close together. Never beard Will threaten Mr. Oxner. J. M.'Henderson testified that he heard M4r. Pressley tell Will Murphy that he was just now fixed to get into trouble as he tad just bought a pistol. Will Murphy said Mr. Oxner had run him from his wife's house and he had nothing to defend Eimself with, and he had bought a pistol .for that purpose. W. E. Presslev testified that he had sold Will Murphiy a' pistol on Friday. Said he wanted something to kill rabbits with. Sold him a 38 calibre pistol and sixteen catridges. Dr. J. M. H. Buff certified that he had axamined the body of J. F. Ozner and found that. he had died from the effects of a gun-shot wound penetrating the -left side of the chest. The jury of inquest found in their ver liet that Mr. Oxner was killed by William Murphy and that Judge Glenn, Ir., vo s accessory. Glenn was at once arrested and brought to jail. If Murphy had been captured Saturday night it is ikely he would have been summarily :lealt with, but he isnow in jail and it is much better that he was not caught. Trial Justice C. P. Dicker t managed to lapture Murphy on Sunday' night and :aried him around through Union and odged him safe in jail Monday morning. Mr. J. F. Ox.ner was a highly respect able farmer of the Maybinton portion of ouir couxgty, was about 41 years of age and leaves a wife and four little girls sur riving him. The whole affair is deeply to be re gretted. The negroes charged with the homicide are now in jail and will have a fair trial, and a Newberry jury may [be counted on to do its duty. Hallow, Charlie !

IE DEATH OF ROBERT D. 3IAF FETT. ie Faculty and Students of Erskine College Pay a Tribute to His Memory. For the Herald and News. At 1 o'clock p. in. on Saturday, Oct. 1887, Mr. R. D. Maffett, a student in rskine Colleg', from Silver Street, ewberry County, S. C., died of con stive malari:: fever. He had returned college from his summer vacation :ly one week previous to his death. Oa1 Monday morning, Oct. 10, the tcuhy and student; held a memorial rvice, before the corpse was removed his home for burial, to take the usual licial notice of the death. The following resolutions were offered Profe.sor McCain: WHEREAS, One of our number, Mr. D. 31affett, has been taken from us death; and whereas we wish to give rmal expression of our feelings in ference to this sorrowful occurrence, erefore be it resolved by us, the facul and students of Erskine College: 1. That we recognize this affliction as )t coming out of the dust, but from im who has said, "What I do thou oweth not now, but thou shalt know reafter." 2. That we hereby make known to e family and friends of the deceased r heartfelt sympathy with them in is their time of trial and sorrow. 3. That we express our regret that the easant association which we have had ith our friend, some of us as teachers id some of us as fellow-students, is ns broken up so suddenly and so (Ily. 4. That we request the papers of New rry County to publish these resolu )ns in their columns, in order that ey may be seen by the friends of Mr. affett in his own county. Professor Hood seconded the resolu >ns (Uis remarks are printed at the quest of the mother of the deceased.) Professor Hood said: MR. PRESIDENT: When we meet to ,y the last tribute of respect to a de .rted friend, is probably the time that e saying is truest that, "The heart ls most when the, lips move not." it there is, on such an occasion, a so anity in silence that overcomes the art, and it must seek relief in tears or )rds. It is w%ith sorrow we bid final ie.us to the living; but then there is me comfort in the thought that them may meet again. How shall we ke a innal leave of the dead! From e eternal hojne whither our young end has gone, no one ever returns. ie past of such an one'is all that time 11 ever give us. His memory, indeed, may cherish, his worth record, and virtues imitate. These the resolu ns propose to do; and, in giving them second, I wish to express my own lings of personal loss in the death of is young man. Intimately acquainted I have been with his father during e last quarter of a century, in all the Irtial and civic phases of life expe hced by our country and Stafe within at period, I felt a peculiarly strong at ehment for the son from the first time appeared in our Campus. This at ehment had continued to grow stronger as years and intercourse extended.1 ie life of none of his companions was are certainly fulfilling my expectations at, with maturing years, he would de lop the highest type of manhood, able, generous, and noble. It is, wever, one of the saddest mysteries life that no friendship however true, attachment however strong, no rem ies however potent,-nor hope, nor ars, nor nursing,-not even the ten r and exhaustless ministrations of the e of father or motlier or any other n stay the execution, when disease mes commissioned of death. We must :n, as we do here this morning, hum y submit to the will of Him whose ys are truly not as man's ways.I raceful and handsome of'person; cour ous in his intercourse with others, he deared himself at once to all around mn; and no one more welcome thani he er entered our recitation rooms. Al ays polite and gentlemanly, he was me to be loved by teachers and students ike. Docile and tractable, no one ac pted friendly counsel more kindly; id in none shown more conspicuously, all the relations in which we knew m, the warmv impulses of a true and merous heart. As in his life, we have slessons, its unfading and sacred emories, so in his death as well we ive its lessons. TI'he arrow is set again. iwards whom of us is its barbed point rected? While we therefore, enshrine s name in our hearts, and deeply ourn with the bereaved family, let us irselves expect the summons, and be so ready. As we pass these resolu ns in the nmidst of this' surrounding rrow, let us resolve that, by the grace God, we will also be ready to enter when the bridegroom cometin. After these services, the corpse was >nveyed to the railroad station, accom nied by his family, and a long pro ~ssion of teachers, students and citi. ms, to be taken to his home for burial. WM. M.

From a Chicago Newspaper. It was a unique and at the same time t pleasant welcome that the. Chicago Daily News gave to President Cleveland apon his arrival in that city. A wel ,ome to the President was written in ilmost every known language and printed in a conspicuous position on one 2f the most important pages of the pa per. A vote of confidence in the Presi lent's Administration came from every tate in the Union. Interviews with prominent citizens fron every State were published to show the high appre :iation of his honesty and integrity that prevailed all over the country. From South Carolina, Governor Richardson, Congressmen J. J. Hemphill, G. W. Dargan, J. S. Cothran and Dr. Andrew Simonds gave their opinions. Governor Richardson said : "I have to say that President Cleveland's ad ministration has been, in my opinion, in the highest degree wise, conservative and patriotic, and has given universal ati4action to our people." Congressman Hemphill said: "Mr. (levelnnd's administration has always had my confidence in his ability; in tegrity and patriotism, and this, I am satisfied, is the feeling of the great ma jority of the people of thi: State. The best thing for the Democratic party and the country, in my opinion, is to renom inate and elect him for another term." Congre.ssman Dargan said: "I heart ily endorse President Cleveland's ad ministration." Congressman Cothran, said : "The administration of Mr. Cleveland has been in all respects most acceptable to the people of this State, and I have not the slightest hesitation in . ssuring you that as matters now stand, his renoni nation would be practically the unani mnous desi e of the Democracy of South Darolina. We have no personal prefer mce for the second place on the ticket, )ut for the sake of availability think one rom the great West or Northwest should )e selected." Dr. Andrew Simonds said : "Civil ;ervice and such issues are secondary to Rie great financial problems of unlim-, ted silver coinage and the locking up of imndreds of millions of dollars in the :reasury vaults, which, if allowed to con :inue, may bring widespread ruin. On >oth of these questions Mr. Cleveland tnd his able secretary of the treasury, 1Ir. Fairchild, are absolutely sound, Lnd their policy commands the approval >f every financial man in this section." .amentable State of Affairs at Willis ton. Special to News and Courier.
