C. Swittenberg's place at Jalapa. The evidence at the Coroner's in quest is very meagre and does not show that there was any quarrel be tween them. They both left the lot together to go to their work, and there was no one present with them when the shooting took place. Mr. Swittenberg, who was in town on Monday, says they quarreled about a plowstock, both wanting to use a new stock. The pistol ball passed through the body of Davis and he died in about one hour afterwards. It was a thirty-two calibre. Davis was about sixty years old, and a very quiet negro. Sligh is a young negro, and his father, in his testimo ny before the Coroner, says at times he was rowdy. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but we are told that he left on Monday on an emigrant train for the West. :Confirmed.

Going to Port Royal LSpecial to the News and Courier.] ('ou-tMIA, February 14.-Col. R. A. Johnson, general manager of the Char leston, (incininati and Chicago Rail road, left the city to-day, having con eluded his eotferences with the con tractors who have heel crowding about his hotel during the several days of his sojourn here. Before he left Col. Johnson told a rep resentative of The Newsand Courier that he had agreed with a firm of con tractors upon the terms and prices for the construction of the lineof the Three C's from Blacksburg to New berry, that a large portion of the line would be completed by January 1, 1S91, and the reiainder in eighteen months from March 1, proximo. The contracts have not yet been signed, and Col. Johnson did not at this time desire to have published the name of the firm who will do the work, but said that the members of it were men of large means and experience. The Bureau understands, from another source, that they are Ten nesseeans. These statements are confirmatory of the probabilities telegraphed by the Bureau on the night of Col. Johnson's arrival. Referring to the interview with a gentleman well up in railroad matters, published in The News and Courier after the appearance of his views in regard to extending the Three C's to Port Royal, Col. Johnson said that it told only the "old, old story" that "there is no place like Charleston," and that Charleston cannot be ignored. He had been very much impressed, he said, by the possibilities of Port Royal's future, and had been led to think seriously of it as a terminus for his road by a consideration of its ad vantages as a port for the South Ameri can and West India trade, which the three C's would have to stimulate in order to secure return freights to the West. The excellence of its harbor, its superior accomodations for vessels, its equal advantages with Charleston as a distributing point for South American and West India trade, the fact that he could get good terminal facilities there free of cost, besides material assistance in building his line there, and the further fact that he would have the local business from Newberry to Port Royal particularly without conpeti tion, while upon going to Charleston he would be in competition with the South Carolina and Northeastern rail roads, were all reasons which influ enced him in considering the Port Royal extension favorably. Col. Johnson said that if the Three C's should be built' to Port Royal a branch would doubtless be extended to Augusta in course of time. The route of the division from Blacksburg to Newvberry would be via the iron mines and the Thousand Islands' water power on ]4road River, and through thbe town of Union, crossing the Geor gia, Carolina and Northern Railroad between the Tyger and Enoree rivers. The contractors would begin work upon it within thirty days. Religious. At St. Luke's Episcopal church ser vices will be held next Sunday and each Sunday until the middle of March, the Rev. Wmi.

A cker's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive cure for the worst forms of DyspIe psiai, Indigestion, Flatulency and Constipation. Guaranteed and Services at St. Luke's Church. Rev. Wm. Hall Williams, of Boston. who is on a visit to Newberry, assisted Rev. Mr. Hanckel in the services at St. Luke's Episcopal church last Sunday and delivered the discourse in the morning. The text was from Thessa lonians, 4: 8. "He therefore that de spiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given us his Holy Spirit." Mr. Williams traced the perverse. contradictory and imipious nature in man from the adolescence of childhood to youth and maturity, in which we become restive of wholesome and salu tary restraint, and rebel against the monotony and quietude of law and order. The child has its "tantrumw"-we alt have them, said the speaker-a species of temporary madness, in which we do unseemly things. The boy reaches the period when his voice is gruff and lie begins to exchange his boyish garb for the apparel of a man. Because he can exercise his judgment about the Sun day-school it is promptly abandoned. He imagines that his parents and pas tor and teacher are arch conspirators, and in league against his peace and happiness; and one of the things he does is to leave the family pew and get nearer and nearer to the door until he finally disappears altogether, and, in stead of coming to church with his mother, he stays at home with his father. He then asserts himself. But "he despiseth not man, but God." And thus the rebellious, indepen dent, inconsistent and iconoclastic spirit, evolved from the very "imp of the perverse" continues to grow and ex pand. So, often, the man of naturer years, who has done. ninety-and-nine things in perfect accordance with law and order an'- the proprieties, goes off at a tangent and does something that is disappointing. The speaker touched upon the phases and the folly of false pride, as found in the foibles of "Mrs. McBride." Whether this folly, which often incites contempt.of others, sprang from social distinction, opulence or su perior intellectual endowment, was equally unfortunate. [The product of true mental wealti is intellectual hu mility, simplicity, gentleness, courtesy and respect for the honest opinious of others.] Mr. Williams has respect for the earnest thinker and devout student who, in the liberty of conscience and 1 the right of private judgment, consci entiously differs from another. But the man who,without argument or author ity-having never investigated a claim -argues from a false premise and upon prejudice alone ignorantly asserts and insolently maintains an opinion is, to say the least, very silly and unwise. They who sneer and scoff at the Sab bath, the sanctuary, the Scriptures, etc., "despiseth not man, but God." In conclusion the reverend speaker eloquently and touchingly urged his hearers to enter reverently upon the solemn and penitential season of lent, with pre-eminent Jove for their conm- I passionate Lord, sweet and gentlei charity toward all men, and devotion to the teachings and duties of their Church. On yesterday, Ash Wednesday-the beginning of the Lenten season-there was an appropriate service at 11 a. m. Divine services may be expected every Friday afternoon, during the season of Lent, at 5 o'clock. R. H. G. smoking and Chewing Tobacco.

Two American Noblemen. d LFromi the Philadelphia Inquirer.] t A few years ago a very warm friend and admirer of the ex-speaker called on Mrs. Randall and informed her that he had determined to make a provision - for M1r. Raridall for the benefit of his family to the extent of $75,000. He did this, he said, after having learned that he was a comparatively poor man. He had been in public life for nearly thirty si years, and was then as poor ns when he a began. He, therefore, had made up his mind to set aside the above sumi as - indicated. He requested MIrs. Randall to broach the subject to her husband in her own way, and hoped that he would get a favorable reply. J Some days after he saw Mfrs. Randall. o She inform'ed him that Mir. Randall v would not listen to any sueh proposi tion at all and requested her to say that under no circumstances would he - accept. This has been Mfr. Randall's invariable attitude concerning all bene factions for his benefit. The gentleman 3 was very much surp)rised at the reply,J as he hoped that he might be per- t, nitted to do this deserved kindness. li The gentleman has since died and left 1. an estate worth several millions. He fi remained up to the time of his death a c devoted friend of the distinguished la Pennsylvanian. A Popular Novel.
