Bodies of those who were drowned in the Johnstown flood are still being found. Eighteen horses were shipped from Newark, N. J., in an ordi- nory freight train on Thursday and the next morning it was found that fifteen had died of suffocation. The Governor of Montana has refused to give certificates to the men who claim to have been elected United States Senators by the Republican rump Legis lature. The corner stone of the St. Fin- bar Cathedral, of Charleston, which will be a magnificent structure, was laid with impos ing ceremonies on Sunday. Car dinal Gibbon and other noted Catholics were present. A terriffic hurricane struck Ht. Louis and vicinity on Sun day. Houses and stores were badly wrecked and trees and telegraph wires were blown down. Three persons were kill ed and five wore wounded. The walls of a new Presbyte rian Church in Brooklyn gave way on Thursday and crush ed two residences adjoining. Two of the occupants of these houses were killed and four in jured. Fire broke out in the ware- house # of the Riverside Mills at Augusta on Friday. The loss will be about *2(M>00. After the fire was extinguished sixty feet of the wall of the mills fell, bad ly injuring ten of theemployees A bill has been prepared for the consideration of Congress whereby the Government is to appropriate *2.5,000 for the pur chase of the battlefields of Chat tanooga and Chicamauga, the same to be converted into a Mil itary National Park. A caison, within which was being built a pier for abridge oyer the Ohio River near Louis ville, Ky., suddenly gave way and sank into the river. Seven teen men were at work on the caison and fourteen of them, who were carried down by quicksand, perished. There is quite a political sen sation in Florida, caused by the fact that a letter from the United States Marshal of that State has been unearthed, in which he instructs the county deputies to send in only the names of “true and tried Repub licans” as jurors for the trial of Democrats charged with elec tion frauds. Win. P. St. John, President of the Merchantile National Bank of New York, and one of the Vice-Presidents of the Southern Society of that city, has tender ed his resignation as a member of the Society, because it passed resolutions of sympathy on the death of Jefferson Davis. The Southern people of New York are much wrought up about it. Mrs. Campbell, the widow of Hon. John C. Campbell, who represented this district in Con gress from 1841-45, died at Che- raw on Friday at the advanced age of 80. She was considered one of the beautiful society la dies of Washington during Mr. Campbell*s Congressional ca reer. Mrs. Campbell was the sister of Major Alexander Mc Queen, of Cheraw. W. L. Egleston, of Topeka, Kansas, is endeavoring to get a number of the negroes of South Carolina*, and especially those living near Barnwell, to settle in the new territory Oklahoma. Tt is said by those who know him that Egleston wants the ne groes to colonize that country and that ho himself will settle there and become a political leader. Hon. W. D. Kelly, a member of Congress from one of the Philadelphia districts, died in Washington on Thursday. Mr. Kelly had served longer in Con gress than any member ever elected to that body and was consequently known us the “Father of the House.” He was elected to Congress in 1800 * V - returned at every (dection since.

A HORRIBLE SEQUEL TO THE BARNWELL LYNCHING. While William Black, color ed, an ex-convict, who several days ago committed a petty theft in Barnwell County, was being conducted on Tuesday night of last week to Robbins’ Station, in that county, to be examined by a trial justice, he was i/mst foully murdered. A colored man and one or two oth ers, had charge of Black and their testimony is all that could be elicited at the coroner’s in quest. They state that, while on their way to Robbins’ Station, they met up with one David C. Ready, a white man, who was drunk and who volunteered to assist them in carrying the prisoner to the proper authorities. That Ready lead the party to a swamp and there, against their earnest protest, deliberately tied the prisoner to a tree and blew a part of his head off. Ready has not yet been arrested. The reports of the affair are very meagre and come from dif ferent sources, but the only dif ference among them is whether or not there was another white man in the party beside Ready. One thing, however, is certain, namely, the negro was most cru elly and most horribly murdered and, furthermore, there seems to have been no provocation for the cold blooded deed. It is most distressing that we do not rid our State of the perpetration of such crimes and we deprecate it for it strikes a fatal blow at the very vitals of our social and po litical existence. But, before we condemn any one party as the perpetrator of this crime, let us look into the matter carefully. Let us not be hasty. Does it not seem extra ordinary that one man, in spite of the earnest protests of three others, should calmly and de liberately tie a poor, helpless creature to a tree and shoot him down like a dog and the one man, too, so very drunk, hence the more easily to he managed by physical force ? Why did not the three sober men prevent the one drunken man from ac complishing his purpose ? It is unreasonable, to say the least, to suppose that they could not prevent him. We believe that further developments will bring more to light and will show that it was not an affair involving the race question, but that the negroes present were also impli cated in the matter. We do not believe the white man could have done the work alone, had the negroes properly resisted him. Be this as it may, we trust the guilty parties will be con victed and hanged for this atrO' cious murder and that we may forever put a stop to such horri ble work. the emigration of the negro. If there be one question which is agitating the South, at pres ent, it is the emigration of the negro. Every journal is discuss ing the pros and cons ; many of our wisest statesmen are giving special attention to the perplex ing matter ; and on every side we hear the harangues of those who consider themselves the guardians of our interests. And yet wo see no end to the prob- lem. All the plans suggested admit of serious objections and more and more are we impressed with the fact that the negro makes a knotty problem that will require years of experience and patient work to solve. We are. convinced, however, that it will be best for the white man and best for the negro that the two races separate to follow divergent paths. We shall feel the scarcity of labor for a while and the want of field hands will handicap us for a few years, but the vacum, caused by the departyre of the negro, will soon be filled by a more thrifty and energetic class of white labor ers, who are now deterred from coming in our midst on account of that ogie, the competition of the negro : and then shall we have a far more healthy condi tion of affairs than we have yet experienced. But as to how shall get rid of the negro we are not prepar ed to suggest any measures. We abide the time, however, having faith that a practical remedy will be finally produced. There is virtue in the old saying, “The Survival of the Fittest,” and it will be exemplified in the pres ent instance. A free discussion of the question will result in a well perfected plan of settlement, and hence every honest view should be given to the worl<^ j Railroad Racket. [Cheraw Reporter January 8.] A meeting of the citizens of the town was held in the town hall last night for the purpose of ratifying the action of the council in granting to the Char leston, Sumter and Northern R. R. the right of way through the town. Mr. Silver, the president of the company and Mr. How- litt, the president of the con struction company, were pres ent and the former stated that they desired to bring the road to Cheraw, provided the citizens wanted it and would give it a cordial welcome—otherwise an other route would be taken. Resolutions were drawn up by Edward Mclver Esq., giving the council authority to grant the right of way with the usual re strictions. There was a large crowd present and the resolu tions were adopted by a unani mous rising vote. R. T. Caston Esq., presided at the meeting and Edward Mclver Esq. acted as secretary. In the course of his remarks Mr. Silver said that he thought he could say that in a very short time Cheraw would be on a through line between New York and Florida. Both Mr. Silver and Mr. Hpwlitt ex pressed themselves as well pleas ed with the reception they re ceived at the hands of the citi zens and were delighted with the location and beauty of the town. They predict that the road will be a great thing for Cheraw and build the town up very much. Both gentlemen express themselves as opposed to running the road up Kershaw street. The other route would be cheaper for them and at the same time would prevent the beauty of Kershaw street from being largely destroyed. They left for Sumter this morning. Mr. Howlitt expects to return next Friday and bring with him a corps of engineers. It looks now as if it will be only a short time before work will begin on the new road, and we certainly hope we are not deceived in our calculations. At all events conaeeted route from New sonvifle. [Bishopville Eagle.] The route of the Eutawville, Sumter & Northern Railroad is being surveyed from Sumter northward. There are two pro bable routes, the one via Wisacky and Hartsville, the other via Stokes’ -Bridge and Hartsville to Cheraw. Mr. Rollins the general manager of the road, with a committee appointed to cooperate with him, are now canvassing the routes, obtain ing the right of way, &c. From the information we now have it seems that, while the manage ment of the road have money in plenty to build the road, it is highly desirable that the manifest, in some way, w or not they desire it, and the sec tion or sections through which it will pass largely depend upon how the people encourage it. ft is needless for us to remark upon the necessity of its coming here. The road is going to be built either via Bishopville or else where, and the results of its be ing built some four or five miles from us must be apparent to all. It is to be hoped that no one will be so blindly selfish as to refuse the right of way for the road, the enhanced value of their own as well as their neighbors’ lands will far more than com pensate for what they give. [Marlboro Democrat January 10.] Messrs. J. J. Lucas and J. M. Waddill, of Society Hill, were in town on Wednesday, in the interest of the new railroad to Society Hill. Mr. Lucas talks hopefully of thel success of the new move for this line, and if our people want this road now it can be built at once. The books of subscription are to be opened at once, and all who favor this road will be given an opportuni ty of proving it by subscribing or taking shares it the stock. The C’igcrrtte Must Go Among the 266 laws passed at the recent session of the Gener al Assembly is an Act entitled “An Act to prohibit the sale of or furnishing or giving or pro viding to minors of cigarettes, tobacco or cigarette paper, or any substitute therefor, and to provide penalties for the same.’ The text of the Act is as fol lows : Section 1.

It In • Bard Matter Kcm to Tell Them from the Beal Article. Of into years jewelry, and female jewelry, in particular, as it-vere, Has be come very numerous and ostentatious, so to speak. Formerly the possession of a pair of diamond earrings envelop ed the happy female in a hallow of affluence that caused her to be regard ed as a modified female Count De Mon te Cristo. A minstrel troupe, whose perform ance we attended not long since, made a pointed allusion at the increased cheapness of gems. The interlocutor, in conversation with the genial end man, congratulated that dusky humo rist because be had been seen on the streets accompanied by a beautiful young lady. The happy end man in- uires if the interlocutor had observed by no it With reversed thumb the be- elegant sealskin cloak worn laoy. The interlocutor had you see end man intimates that he had stowed it on the attractive female. “It must have cost you quite a large sum of money,” replies the interlocu tor, who for some iuexplicable reason ignores the negro dialect “Yes, sah, (500, and did dem ar torches?” “Those what?” “Dem torches. I mean dems lamps, hanging in her yeahs." “Oh, you mean those large solitaire earrings. Yes, I saw them. They must have cost you at least |1,500.” “Thirty cents.” replies the end man, reaching down for bis bones, or rather the bones with which he makes discord. The shabbily dressed, poorly paid shop girl wears gems that flash m a dozen different colors, while the young boy, who gets |4 a week in a button factory, carries on ; his soiled hand a diamond ring that might be a prince’s ransom in olden times—if it were real. Yet jewelry, which was formerly supposed to be expensive, is now worn so generally as to create a suspicion that the coal deposits are being sub jected to an alarming drain. Not everybody knows that it takes an experienced jeweler to detect the real from the bogus diamond, hence it frequently happens that grown, up C rsons undergo a similar experience that of the little girl who complain ed to her grandmother: “Ma told me it was a diamond, but I have found out that it was nothing but a grindstone.” A member of the famous ‘poker legislature” of Texas once said that the most expensive diamonds were those that staid in the pack when he had four of them in his own hand.— Texas Siftings.

The walls, floors and stalls of a fish market ought, by rights, to be faced with some hard, smooth, non-absorbent material, such as marble or glazed tiles, which will afford no harbor for these microscopic abominations. It seems, however, that at Billingsgate the stalls are mostly of rough wood, the walls of plain brick, and the floors of porous stone, and all are worn, honeycombed and rugged with age. The whole place is consequently impregnated with putrefying filth, with not merely uliarly ar ' ‘ its peculiarly ancient and fish like smell, but also with the most objec tionable results to such wholesome fish as are brought into it For all this we have to thank Gog and Ma gog, who not only keep up this out rage on civilization, but charge rents ranging from 6d. to 9d. per square foot for such accommodation as is to be found there.—London Truth. What la the Moouf But when we loolrat the moon with our telescopes, do wo see any traces of water? There are, no doubt, many large districts which at a first glance seem like oceans, and were indeed termed “seas” by the old astronomers, a name which they still absurdly re tain. Closer inspection shows that the so called lunar seas are deserts, often marked over with small craters and with rocks. The telescope reveals no seas and no oceans, no lakes and no rivers. Nor is the grandeur of the moon’s scenery ever impaired by clouds over her surface. Whenever the moon is above the horizon and terrestrial clouds are out of the way, we can see the features of her surface with distinctness. There are no clouds in the moon; there are not even the mists or the vapors which invariably arise wherever water is present And therefore astronomers have been led to the conclusion that our satellite is a sterile and a waterless desert—Story of the Heavens. Generating Steam. It is said that a new method of gen erating steam has met with remark able success in England. Hie inven tion is adaptable to any ordinary Cor nish, Lancashire or marine Doiler. The apparatus for perfecting the com bustion consists of an air tube placed on the floor of the furnace, perforated on each side, in communication at the outer end with a main air conduit, and at the inner end with a hot air receiver, or air diffusing pipes, where the air becomes highly heated, and delivered by a large number of lets into the escaping gases from the fuel chamber. The air is obtained by means of a fan driven by a small en gine.—New York Telegram. As au example of the spirit which animates the German army, and which doubles in force, Prince Kraft Hohon- lobe tells a fine story. At the battle of Chateaudun a battery found itself without ammunition under a heav fire. What was to be done! The of! sing we wacni am rtaein," "in or der,” as Prince Kraft says, “that they might pass the tin e agreeably while waiting for fresh cartridges.” It is i Halting ttt* College*. i i» gratifying to' see that the lead ing colleges of the country continue to enjoy the favor of men of wealth. The guts to Princeton, Yale and other institutions of learning during the past year run up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yale alone has received over $200,000, and Princeton reports even a larger sum, while one western institution has added to its re- eourccs gifts amounting to $700,000. Indeed, there is hardly a college of any pretensions in the country which has not been the object of benefactions more or less notable. There has never been a time when the sympathy of the nch men of the country—many of whom have never personally enjoyed the advantages of aliber.d education —with the best and high est forms of scholarship was so pro- as now. and the — promise and hope for the future, in which so many grave jmd important questions, involving the beet interests of the nation, if not nlrind. end requiring for adjustment the ripest wis of the Inlbcgrod Crssk. Boone has recorded in his own quaint phraseology an incident of hi* life during this summer which shows how eagerly such a little band of frontiersmen read a book and how real its characters became to their mind. He was encamped with five other men on Bed river, and they had with them for their “amusement the History of Samuel Gulliver’s travels, wherein he gave an account of his young master, Glumderlick, careing (sic) him on a market day for a show to a town called Lulbegrud.” In the party who, amid such strange sur roundings, read and listened to Dean Swift’s writings was a young man named Alexander Neely. One night he came into camp with two Indian scalps taken from a Shawnees' village ho hod found on a creek running into the river, and he announced to the circle of grim wilderness veterans that “he had been that day to Lulbe grud and had killed two Brobding- nags in their capital.” To this day the creek by which the two luckless Shawnees’ lost their lives is known as Lulbegrud creek.—“The Winning of the West"—Roosevelt The Enffllah Derby- In spite of oppositions of all kinds the Derby still bolds its own, and is yet regarded as the foremost race of the year. There are, it is true, other contests of the “Frankenstein Mon ster” species, the winning of which brings in more money to tbe fortu nate owner, and these are, therefore, from a purely business point of view, more important than the Derby, but the latter continues to attract tne at tention of those who care but little for racing in the abstract; it is the oc casion of a great general holiday, and remains what Lord Beaconsfield de scribed it, “The blue riband of the turf.” Strangely indeed the latter day Derbies contrast with earlier ones. Within the memory of those who are now scarcely more than middle aged, quotations for the next year’s race were forthcoming almost as soon as the number of tho winner of the cur rent event was hoisted; and the rac ing man’s winter of discontent was enlivened by no little speculation. All this is now changed, and the ante-post betting is confined to a comparatively small number of persons.—London Sporting News. Antiquity of tho Slot. - Is there anything new under the sun? Now it has been discovered that the idea of the “drop a nickle in the slot boxes” is older than Christianity. In the Egyptian temples devices of this kind were used for automatically dispensing the purifying water. A coin of five drachmae dropped into a slit in a vase set a simple piece of me- portion of the liquid escape. The apparatus is described in the “Spiritalia’’of Heron of Alexan dria, wno lived 200 years before the Christian era, and is illustrated in the Sixteenth century Latin manuscript translations of his work, in which, by the way, is also delineated tbe Egyp tian fire engine of the author’s day, with its double force pump valves, lever arms, goose neck, and probably, too, air chamber—but this is a mooted point—which form the essential fea ture of the machines of the Nine teenth century.—Fire and Water.
