He left the piazza, went into the house and shut the door. Mixon,with an oath, drew his knife, and swore be was going to kill Best. Woodham called to Best and told him to look out, that Mix on was coming after him with his knife. Mixon went in the house after Best, who retreated out of doors, and started to the lot. Mixon sprang out after him and pursued him with open knife, cusing him and swearing he was going to make “mince meat” out of him. Best had his gun, and when he got near ly to the lot gate, which h e would have had to open, h e turned and begged Alixon to cease his pursuit. Mixon grab bed at the gun with one hand, holding the knife in a striking position in the other. Then Best fired, the load taking ef fect in the abdomen. Alixon died next morning at 5 o’clock. The petit jurors were dis charged Monday evening, their services being no longer needed. The Solicitor )iol prossed the case against Carrie Pompey, colored, charged with larceny. Theodore Ham, a young color ed boy not overburdened with sense, charged with the crime of burglary and larceny, under advice from his attorney, C. P. Dargan, Esq , who was appointed to defend him, plead guilty to the larceny, and threw himself upon the mercy of the Court. The following colloquy betw een the Judge and himself thereupon ensued: “The odore, have you ever been in any trouble of this kind be fore?” “Well, Jedge, I ain’t nuver been in sich a close corner as dish yer.” “If I impose a light sentence upon you, will you promise me that when you return from the Penitentiary, you will try to be a better boy, and keep out of trouble that wdll bring you into court?” “I’ll promise, sah, but I reckon by de time I gits back dey’i) kotJ. me up on sumpiu else.” “Well will you try to do bet ter in future—tell me that.” “Yes, yes, Jedge, I under stand de pint youso at—I’ll try to do right.” “Then the sen tence of the court is that you, Theodore Ham, be imprisoned in the Penitentiary at hard la bor for the period of eight months. Take your seat.” The Grand Jury found true bills in the following cases: J. D. AIcLendon, O. C. Cain and B. H. Payne, each charged with murder; T. W. Norment, charged with assault and bat- etry with intent to kill. All of these cases were continued un til the fall term. The Grand Jury remained in session until yesterday (Wednesday) after noon, when they made their fi nal presentment, and were dis charged. The timeof the Court during Tuesday and Wednes day was occupied with the hearing of such issues in the Court of Common Pleas as could be tried without a jury.

We have examined the jail, court house and poor house, and find them in good condition, their affairs properly adminis tered, and no complaints have reached us from their inmates. We are still engaged in the ex amination of the public offices, and will report more fully on their administration at the next term of the Court. It is report ed to us that some trial justices do not make their reports to the Treasurer and Auditor at the times required by law, and we call their attention to this important regulation. We direct that the bridge over Sparrow Swamp at Reynolds’ Crossing be repaired at once, and that a bridge be built over Lake Swamp on the Sumter road. Our public school system needs re organization. The schools are open only a small part of the year, and even then many townships are in debt, and the teachers are com pelled to discount their salary checks.

Douglass Moore in that town last week, was made before Judge Benet on Tuesday. It seems that the parties were brothers-in-law, Breeden having married Moore’s sister. On the evening of the difficulty the de ceased went to the house of the accused, where some hot words passed between them concern ing a family affair. Breeden left the piazza where they were and went into the house after his gun. When he returned with it, his wife got between her enraged brother and hus band and persuaded them to make friends. They then went into the house and took a drink together, but on returning to the piazza renewed their quar reling. Breeden brought out his gun again. This time Mrs. Breeden was unable to prevent the difficulty which ensued, and which resulted in Mr. Moore’^ receiving a mortal wound in the stomach. He was unarmed The tragedy was of such a na ture as to arouse considerable excitement i n Bennettsville, and on the occasion of the ar gument of the motion for bail on Tuesday, a number of the friends of both barties came ov- er to Darlington. The entire Bennettsville bar was interested on one side or the other, Judge Hudson appearing as the lead ing counsel for the defence. Six arguments in all were made be fore Judge Benet. He fixed the bail for the defendant at $5,000.

Of the seven companies investiga ted the Columbia Volunteers only are exonerated. Captain Capers, with nearly all of his company, the Columbia Zou aves, are found guilty of wilful ly disobeying orders. Captain Bateman, of the Governor’s Guards, is found guilty of diso bedience, with the excuse admit ted that he believed marching his company from the armory would precipitate a riot. The York, Winnsboro and Rock Hill companies were also found guilty of disobedience, in the 1 two latter cases the responsibil ity being attributed to their of ficers. The Gordon Volunteers, of Hampton, are found guilty, the court stating that their refu sal to obey was on account of their business engagements. Major Arthur Metts, of the Pal metto Regiment, is found guilty of conduct unbecoming anofficer, in urging troops not to go to Dariington. The Governor has not determined upon what ac tion he will take. The court has made the fol lowing report as to the Fourth Brigade. That Brig. Gen. T. A. Huguenin was guilty of dis obedience of orders issued by Governor B. R. Tillman Alarch 31. Re issued no verbal or writ ten orders to any officer orcom- E any of his brigade to go to •ariington, or even to turn out, on Alarch 30 and 31. That Alaj. B. H. Rutledge, commanding Second Battalion, was guilty of conduct prejudicial to discipline in attending two conferences of officers of the 4th Brigade and Capt. DuBose of the Navy Bat talion, and participating in dis- cussionV relating to the propri ety of obeying orders. Maj. A W. Marshall, of the Washington Light Infantry, was guilty also as Alaj. Rutledge, he having at tended three conferences. The same applies to the captains of the German Fusiliers, the Mont gomery Guards, the Irish Vol unteers. the Palmetto Guards, and the German Huzzars. Capt. Wagener, Lieut. J. F. Lilien- thel, Capt. J. E. Cogswell, com manding Company B. Washing ton Light Infantry; Capt. Ed ward Anderson, Carolina Rifles, are liable to reprimand and for attending these conferences. Capt. Anderson at first express ed himself willing to obey or ders, and thereafter acted soasto indicate his willingness to obey all orders and his desire to re spond to those of the comman der in chief. That except such as are hereinbefore enumerated no officer or member of the bri gade has been guilty of any conduct unbecoming an officer or soldier. That no member of the gatling gun squad was guil ty of any conduct unbecoming an officer or man. Call amTsee Baird & Smoot’s two rockers for $5.00.

Beatrice, the lion tamer at the Lonuon Zoo, which is giving a wild animal show on the old iron pier at West Brigh ton, had a narrow escape from being mangled to death tonight by a lion. It was just about 10 o’clock and the enclosure on the pier where the animals are on exhibition was crowded with people. The last performance of the day was being given and Beatrice appeared in the hall, climbed up the ladder leading to the wild lions’ cage and entered. There are two big As iatic lions in the cage, a male and a female. The male is a great pet of the tamer and she plays with him for fifteen min utes at every performance. Her act with the wild beast is closed by opening his mouth and kiss ing him. She always succeeded in kissing the brute until to night. While she was making her bold attempt to smack the lips of Brutus to night, the man who feeds the lions made his appearance near the cage with a box of raw beef and in a mo ment he unfastened Beatrice’s hold upon him and sprang upon her. Both had a lively tussle which finally resulted in the lion tamer falling to the floor and the lion grabbing the left side of her face in his mouth. The women and children in the audience screamed and the men rushed around the hall, looking for clubs and sticks with which to beat the lion away from the woman. In a few moments Alanager Farrare and Trainers Bronce and Ordawy rushed with pitchforks. After plunging the forks several times in the head and body of the lion they man aged to make him losen his hold and got the girl out of the cage. She was unconscious and blood was pouring from her face as she was carried into the office. Dr. Hill was summoned and the woman was put to bed. When the doctor arrived the woman was delirious and opiates had to be given to quiet her. Upon ex amination, Dr. Hill found that the lion had succeeded in stick ing three of his big teeth through the woman’s left jaw. Other parts of her face were al so chewed. It took some time for the sergeon to stop the flow of blood. Dr. Hill said tonight that it was the worst case of an imal bite that he ever saw. The woman was delirious at mid night and Dr. Hill says she is in a precarious condition. Mile. Beatrice is twenty years old. Her father was a lion tam er and she went into the busi ness when twelve years old. J. O. Byrd, hi She came from London with the from the Soutghow three weeks ago. A ClemsonCock and Bull. (The News and Conrier.] There was a sensational re port yesterday that a base ball umpire had been shot and killed at Clemson College on Saturday last, but as might have been expected there was no founda tion in fact for the report. As the story went an umpire deci ded a game of base ball played on Saturday between a club from Central and the Clemson College club in favor of the Central club by a score of 9 to 0, whereupon the Clemson stu dents to the number of five him dred attacked the umpire with stones and sticks, and used him so roughly that one of Central’s players drew his pistol and “shot the leader, killing him al most immediately.” The Spar tanburg Herald, which publish-, ed the story, wound up by say ing: “The names of the parties to the shooting are not known here, and all efforts to get them last night failed.” In reply to a telegram of inqury the corre spondent of The News and Cour ier at Clemson College sent the following dispatch last night: “All stuff. No shooting. Only a fist fight. Everything quiet. No one hurt.” How is this? (The News anil Courier.)

[The News and Courier.] Ever since Trial Justice Mil an was dismissed because of his action in the Chicco perju ry case by the Governor, and Ex-Chief Constable Gaillard appointed to fill his place, spec ulation has been rife, in certain circles, as to whether Gaillard would accept the position, as he was reported to be a candi date for clerk of the Conrt of Berkeley County. The question was definitely settled yesterday morning when the ex-chief con stable walked into Justice Mil an’s office and displayed to him his commission from the Gov ernor, which he had brought iu his pocket from Columbia on Saturday night. Justice Gail lard will probably hold court| in the office until now occupied u,,™™: by Justice Milan, and will ap- point his son as constable. If a man has the “rocks” he can make it all right.

In reply, I would say, no one is required to surrender his individuality when he joins the Aliance. The obligation taken when becom ing a member of the Aliance says that it will not conflict with any man’s political or re ligious views, hence I would say that a man may be a member of the Alliance and refuse to sup port the demands.

The question will be settled by Democratic primaries in August. “I will not be a candidate for Governor, but will be iu the race for Sena tor Butler’s seat,” said the Governor, “and I expect to win.” Will “Uncle George" Run? [The Stt^te.] It was stated in this city yes terday on pretty good authority that ex-Congressman George D.
