SH .ToN, March 20.-Chief
Jus'.e Fuller seemed surprised and
shoched when a dispatch announcing
his caughter's marriage was shown
him. He said he bad heard nothing
of t'.. matter before. He read the first
par' "f the story, and then thanking
the informant, retired to an inner
rooM.
i -esponse to a question he said that
he I ..d no statement to make.
N rs. Fuller received all wvho called,
and C.ays the marriage is a matter of
sur .?se to the family, as well as regret,
but thiat they will accept the situation.
She t.iso said the manner in which the
m riage took place was more a cause
ofr- ;-vet than the alliance itself.

AFTIER TWENTY-NINE YEARS
D. F. Jeter. of Union County, to be Tried for
Murder.
Co..MnMiA, March 21.-On the 20th
of June, 18i60, D. E. Jete-, of Union
County, killed his brother-in-law,
James W. iusby, and fled the State.
Twenty-nine years have passed away,
and yet that man is held to-day for he
crime committed a generation ago, and
will be brought to trial in the county
which he left "before the war." Here
is one case where justice, if not as
"sure" as the proverb makes it. is cer
tainty "slow."
(ovei nor Richardson tc-Jay for
warded to Sheriff J. G. Long, of Union
County, a iequisition on the Governor
of Tennessee for the delivery of Jet er,
who is now held in that State, and the
sheriff will present it in person and
bring his prisoner back to Union.
Little is known here of the details of
the crime. The following article from
the Evening Times, of Jackson, Tenn.,
published on the 14th instant, will ex
plain the circumstances under which
the crime of Jeter was revealed to the
law officers of that city:
"For some lime trouble has existed
between D. E. Jeter, who lives about
two and a half miles north of this city,
and his stepdaughter, Mrs. Ira Lee, a
widow, who has been living with him.
Jeter is said to have abused Mrs. Lee a
few days since in an outrageous man
ner, calling her all sorts of names and
accusing her of the most offensive con
duct imaginable, and drove her away
from her home, the place, we under
stand, belonging to her, Mrs. Lee
came to this city to seek protection
and escape from the brutal conduct of
her stepfather, who, to add to other
things, was drinking deeply. She
spent one night at the residence of Mr.
H. L. Palmer, another at the residence
of Mr. Baker, and one night at the
residence of Mrs. McBride.
".In the meantime a detective under
the name of B. A. Oats was doing some
nice detective work. It had been ru
mored here that Jeter had shot and
killed his' brother-in-law, Busby in
Union County, S. C., in 1861. Tele
grams were sent to the sheriff of Union
County, the first being sent last Tues
day, inquiriog if D. E. Jeter was want
ed there for a murder committed in
1S61. Other telegrams were sent on
Wednesday. Replies were received
stating that the murder was being in
vestigated. Yesterday a telegram was
received from the sheriff of Union
County to A. B. Oats to arrest Jeter
and notify him at once. Upon receipt
of the telegram the authorities here
had Mis. Lee to swear out a peace war
rant against Jeter, they having put her
off from time to time until the investi
gation could be made authorizing hold
ing him for the offence in South Caro
lina.
"Last night Mr. A. D. Dugger and
Deputy Sheriff Waiter Person went
out to arrest Jeter, Sheriff B. A. Per
son following later. Jeter was 'known
to be a desperate man and would~ resist
to the last any attempt to arrest him if
he knew what the real cause of his
arrest was. Messrs. Dugger and Person
drove up to the house in a spring
wagon. Mr. Dugger went into the
house and was told that Jeter had gone
out about the premises. He went out
to look for him and found him in the
yard. He approached him in a jocular
manner and when they entered the
house Jeter displayed a pistol. Mr.
Duggrer told hinm that Walter Person
was out in the wagon and had a peace
warrant for himi. Jeter consented to
go with them and got in the wagon and
caime to town, saying he would make it
hot for Mrs. Lee.
"He took supper with Sheriff Person.
The latter told him that Mr. Dugger
would not go on his bond and that he
would have to spend that night in the
jail, and he was jocked np. This
morning Sheriff Person received the
following' dispatch from J. G. Long,
sheriff of Union Cougty, S. C.:
-. 'B.1oid Jfeter till I come with re
quisition papers. Will have to get
them from the Governor.
J. G. Long.'
"Jeter is, therefore, held to await the
requisition from the Governor of South
Carolina. Jeter has the reputation of
being a desperate character. He has
told Mr. Dugger prior to this that he
killed his brother-in-law in South
Carolina, and also told him and Sheriff
Person last nighti that he was arrested
in Tyler, Texas, for the offence, but
that he shook a red flag at the sheriff
and made his escape."

A comminee of citizens ga.hering
help :o build a home in Texas for dis
abled Confede,ate soldiers is, we are
very glad to see, receiving letters of
encouragement from such eminent t
Union soldiers and sailors as (ene;al
Sherman and Admiral Porter and c
others. That is rigbt, and we hope
,he needed subscriptions w ill flow in t
to the committee.
It i' now twenty-four years since the d
war closed. The men who served in it t
on either side are growing old fast. t
Those who were crippled by wounds or a
disease are already feeble old men. e
The animosities which grew out of t he f
strife between the sections have so far C
died out, at least among those who
fought, that Union and Confederate a
survivors have more than once pro- C
posed to decorate the graves of their l
comrades on the same day together. n
in many Southern States the people,
by their Legislatures, are supporiing t
bomnes for disabled Canfederate sol- '
diers. That is right and as it ought to
be. But why would it not be a kindly n
and gracious.act for Congress, when it f
reassembles, to apropriate money for li
the construction and maintenatice of c
several soldiers' homes in the Southern V
States? Why would not President a
Harrison do well to recommend this to e
Congress? p
There is money co spare in the federal t
Treasury. The sum required would not b
be great, and the Southern people, a
who pay their share of the taxes out of
which Northern pensions and Northe o a
soldiers' homes are provided, wo'ld 0
see in such a deed, done as it would be n
by a republican Congress, the most 1a
conclusive proof of good will-the best s
evidence that those politicians in the d
South who continue to gabble about ti
Northern ill will are mere demagogLes I
and do not tell the truth. D
If soldiers' homes were established in ih
Southern States by an act of Congress g
these would not, of course, be exclu- a
sively for disabled Confederates. Union b
and Confederate men would gather in ]
them to spend their few remaining v
years in comfort together. Many men s
now in Northern soldiers' homes suffer t
from t he rigors of our Northern win- v
ters, and as the old soldiers in these il
places are now by law allowed to t
change from one home to another, a
under proper regulations, many of a
them would be glad of a winter in a s
Southern home-where, besides, they t
would be made aappy by change of C
scene and by the opportunity, dear to 0
every soldier and sailor, of talking over 9
battles with former antagonists. a
Moreover, a large number of Union li
soldiers now live in Southern States. e
When, by reason of poverty and a dis- F
abled condition these become entitled 'I
to entry in a soldier's home, they must s
now go North. For these, who will in- r
crease in numbers from year to year, f
soldiers' homes at well selected points f
in Southern States would be a boon. d
The country can afford to do thiss
thing, and we believe it would have '
the hearty consent of multitudes of I
Union soldiers. We should like to seet
the question taken up in the Grand ~
Army assemblies and in the Loyal 1
Legion meetings. Possibly there might
be some opposition at first, but we be-t
lieve it would melt away before sensible 1
and kindly counsels. The Union veter- r
ans would do well to ask themselves
whether the time has not come, nearly
a quarter of a century after the close of
the war and when they themselves 1
begin to feel keenly the burden ofyears,
when it would be well to make a pub
lic provision of homes, not for the
wealthy, the educated, the influential t
Southern leaders in the war, but for the I
poor fellows who were deluded or I
forced into the Confederate ranks, and
who are now crippled and poor, desti- I
tute and suffering.
They were the victims of designing
or mistaken leaders. They did what
they supposed their duty-for they had
bEen taught for a generation to stand.
by their States. They are Americans,
fellow countrymen; ad we believe
Union veterans, while they may dis
trust the Southern leaders in the war,1
cherish no animosity-bave nothing
but the kindest feelings for the men
who faced them in the ranks.
Physicians Form a Trust,
[From a Bonhanm (Texas,) Special.]
A few dlays ago five or six doctors in
the vicinity of windom, a village in the
eastern part of the county, formed 1
themselves into an association and
raised the pri.ce on their services. Last
night the citizens held an indignation
meeting to protest against such pro
eeedings and to take steps towards
importing an M. D. who could offer
his services at a reasonable rate. One of
the physicians who had joined the
Trust appeared before the citizens and
offered his services at a price lower
than thbe scale agreed upon by the
Association if the people would bestow
all the custom upon him. This made
the citizens wrathy, and it was only by
Strenuous efforts on the part of some of
the cooler heads that the physician was
saved from summary vengeance.

trict. In the stirring days of the "gold
fever" the blood of the whole nation
seemed bubbling with excitement, as
the thirst for gold became fiercer and
fiercer. Men left shops, and counting
houses, and offices, and rushed for the
clippers that were advertised to carry
gold-seekers round the Horn. The
scenes on sailing days are said by old
residents to remind them of a rush for
a harbor steamer on a hot Summer
day. Everybody wanted to go to Cali
fornia, and there was always somebody
late, who cursed the unkind fate that
kept him forever in the race for the
mines. Of course the fever was mild
here as compared with California. Gen.
Sherman says that at one time 600
ships were anchored in San Francisco
harbor without crews. The sailors had
deserted and joined in the rush for the
mines. Soldiers in the garrisons at
tempted to follow the example of the
sailors, and it required the utmost ex
ertions of officers to prevent regimental
stampedes. Those were the days when
servants commanded $300 a month;
rough board rooms, roofed with canvas,
rented for $1,000 a month, and every
thing else was high in proportion. The
golden days of California were not al
together Igolden for those at a distance
from the mines.
A Silver Wagon Road.
[From the Philadelphia Press.]
"You may talk about nickel-plated
railroads," said Vice-President L. T.
Stanley, of Walnut street, "but what
do you think of a solid silver wagon
road? The Horseshoe Mine, in Colora
do, has one, although when it was built
they didn't know it would pan out
that way. They had to have a road
from their mine, a distance of three
miles, over which heavy loads were to
be drawn. They took the rock that
had been taken from the shafts they
were sinking, and which lay around in
the way, and macadamized the road
all~ the way through. The wagons
passing over the road ground the rock
down. One day they had a heavy
rainstorm, and when things got dry
again after the rain the wind blew the
dust off the road, and all through the
road-bed, every which way, they could
see big streaks of silver. Well, maybe
they didn't collar on to the rest of that,
loose rock that lay around those shafts!
They sent away a lot of it to be assayed,
and when the report came back they
found that their roadbed was worth
$200 a ton. It was a little expensive to
drive over, but they had to have the
road, and I suppose they've got it yet,
if their mines have held out."

Children and money.
Seemingly children are trained in al
:)rauchcs of education but this, yet fron
earliest childhood they should bi
taught to value money, not only as g
power to be duly respected, but thal
its accumulation is a positive duty, it
order not only to provide for old age
but as one of the great motivP
of advancement and " zation.
Some may " ey do not care foi
mono et as a wise woman said
no, they do not care for money,
but they want very badly what money
will bring." I know of several fami
lies who, with the means of starting
well in life, with intelligence and ad
vantageous surroundings, are now
drif irg ito absolute poverty for want
of this early training. In one instance
oli age is harassed and weighed down
by i he aspect of the "wolf at the door,"
whic;h, with an early training of thF
line t:: tents possessed, would have kept
him forever at bay.
Li another, parents in their old age
were obliged to leave a lovely conntiy
home, and went to join the struggling
hundreds in a neighboring city with a
half dozen cbildren as untrained
as themselves. Yet training in the
saving and expenditure of money would
have kept them by industry comfor
table and thrifty. The person occupy
ing the farm previous to this family
supported quite as large a family and
made enough money beside to buy
another farm.
As an instance of what can be done
we will draw from the experience of
aaother family. While very small the
mother taught her children to count
by using articles about the home, such
as table and chair legs, windows, doors
and so on. By this means they very
soon learned the rudiments of arithme
tic. As soon as possible they were sent
on errands, and to market, and taught
to look sharp after the value received
for money, to be exact in counting th(
change so to have justice for both par,
ties, and if anything was wrong they
were sent to rectify it, and were mad(
to take the responsibility. They alsc
had tasks about the house, and under
stood that they were to attend to them
without their attention being called tc
these duties. They were kept busy,
and formed habits of industry, and
grew up to be execllent business men,
and at an early age had the offer o1
several advantageous situations.
Two boys of the same family were
each given a child's bank of metal and
an account book. In their own hand
writing they entered in the book all the
sums of money they received as gifta
or which they earned by extra work
etc. The money received was divided
into three parts, put into several re.
ceptacles, and lodged in the bank
One portion was to be saved, the re
served for gifts of charity, and the lasl
they were to expend as they pleasd
with the exception of a restriction s tc
candy and cakes.
All these boys were encouraged tc
take pleasure in some natural taste fo,
mineralogy, stamp collecting, ete
Such tastes are strong protections tc
boys, and they gain valuable know
ledge with the habit of research,
Parents should show respect forsuek
occupations, and the continued efforj
required to follow then thoroughly,
which should be insisted upon as a
matter of education, and as forming
property in the form of valuable know
ledge, that always has its use if only it
elevating the taste.
In another case a young:lady teacher
whose father being one of the enlight
ened kind taught his daughter how t<
transact various kinds of business, hoi
to value and purchase property, etc.
so that in the savings of some years shi
at different times made advantageoul
purchases of small properties, the rents
of which would have supported he:
had her health or powers failed, as thea
did in after years thrcugh deafness
How much more real love of his cil
dren has such a father than one wh<
says : "Oh ! let them enjoy themselve
while they are young," and then send:
them forth totally unfit for the contest
of life and labor.

His Scheme to Gobble All the Soo';e
Road@ Checked by a Leaal Deeintn
(From the New Ye Herald.]
BIRM NGU:AM. AI., March 20,1889.
About oD-e ago the minority stoc
hold' of the Memphis and Charlesto2
oad filed a petition in the Chancery
Court at Huntsville, Ala., praying for
an injunction restraining the stock
holders of the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia Railroad from voting the
stock of th e'ormer road. The petition
was filed and the injunction granted
about thirty days before the annuai
meeting of the stockholders of the
Memphis and Charleston road.
The petition and allegations of the
pIlaintiffs set forth that the Menmphis
and Charleston Railroad had been
leased to and operated by the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia road to the
injury of the stockholders of the former
road. It also alleged; that the stock
holders of the Last Tennessee. Virginia
aNd Georgia road had bought up stock,
anticipating the annual meeting of
stockholders, until they secured a bare
majority. The bill further alleged that
the stock held by the East Tennessee.
Virginia: and Georgia company was
mortgaged to the Central Trust Com
pany of New York, and that therefore
under the law that company could not
vote it. The billfurther alleged that
under the law the East Tennessee com
pany could not vote the stock of the
Memphis and Charleston road, and
that the lease which they expected to
renew was in violation of the charter of
the road. ;
In December last the case was argued
before Chancellor Cobbs, in this city,
on demurrers filed by the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia company.
Some of the best; legal talent in the
country was engaged and the argument
consumed more than a week. Chan
cellor Cobbs has had the case under ad
visement since that time, the briefs and
papers in the case requiring weeks for
examination.
In his decision Chancellor Cobbs sus
tains every point made in the petition
of the pisintifi's. He holds that while
one corporation may own the stock of
another, they have no right to vote it
under the law of Alabama. The Chan
ceilor also decided that the control of
the Memphis and Charleston road by
the 'East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia is a violation of the charter of
the former road.
It is reported here that this decision
will'result in the filing of several simi
lar suits against the Richmond Termi
nal companyand other railroad com
panies seeking to obtain control of all
smaller roads in the South.
THE NEW SOUTHERN NAVY YARD.
Port Royal Agreed Upon by NavalOslcers
-as the Best Kocation.
NEw York, March 20.-The Times
says: It is learned that the Board of
Naval Officers detailed to exmine -
Southern cities for the best location for
a new navy yard are pretty well agreed
on Port Royal, and in consequence
Port Royal is being studied in a very
thorough manner by those who are
aware of this fact.
A prominent naval officersaid yester
day that for convenience of water ap
proach and harbor security Port Royal ~ -
was well adapted for a navy yard, but
in his opinion It was anything but an
advantageous position for such a pur
pose. This seems to be the opinion
also of several other naval officers of
~prominence. The main point argued
against Port Royal Is its lack of rail
road communications,'and for a navy
yard the existence of rapid transit lines
having a terminus on the government
ground is absolutely essential. New,
Orleans seems to be in great favor with
those who are in a position to speak
understandingly of what is really
needed.
