VOL. XXI, NO. 27 DARLINGTON, S. 0., THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1894 WHOLE NUMBER 1,013 THE TALLEY TRIAL It Now Looks as If the Judge May Be Im-oe ached. LATE EVIDENCE RATHER DAMAGING. Much Interest Is Felt In AUbnmn Over ths Trial, and Nothing Less Than a Sen sation Is Being Sprung—Evl. dence for the State. Humvnxx, Ala., July 4.—The trial for the impeachment of J udge Talley, of Alabama, la in progress here. Yester day was spent in the examination of witnesses for the state. The chief wit ness was Whitner, the telegraph oper ator at Scottsboro, who testified that on Sunday February 4th, Ed. Koss, broth er of the murdered cashier came to his office and sent a message to his brother who was at Stevenson, warning him that the Skelton boys were in pursuit of him heavily armed. Ross said at the time of sending the dispatch, that he did not want any one to know that he had sent it. Judge Talley came into the telegraph office before Ross had fin ished writing his message. He then sent a message to William Huddleston at Stevenson which read "don’t let par ty warned get away. Say nothing.” When Talley handed his telegram to the operator, he remarked that it had connection with the one he had in his hand. Judge Bridges testified that he was present in the telegraph office when all the above took place. He said that Talley remarked to him—“What do you reckon that young fellow, the operator, would think if I should tell him that I would put him out of this room before he should send that telegram 7” Bridges protested, but Talley replied “I don't want that telegram sent and I am going to send this one” showing the one he sent to Huddleston. Judge Talley is a brother-in-law to the Skelton boys, who killed cashier Ross of Scottsboro National bank for seduction of their sister last February. He is accused of aiding the Skeltons in their efforts to kill Ross and that is the ground for the trial now in progress. It will in all probabilities last ten days or longer. THE LAST STRUGGLE. Ths Republlcau Senator. Believed to tho Lost That Tariff Would be Defeated. Washington, July 4.—It was no se cret among those who had the confi dence of the leaders of the republican side that they expected to defeat the tariff bill and that they figured on a majority of one vote against it. The first break on the democratic side came when the name of Caffery was called and he responded with an emphatic “no.” His colleague, Blanchard, did not respond to his name at all when it was called. Irby, it was claimed, had promised to vote against the bill, but when his name was called, he respond ed in the affirmative, and all hope of defeating the bill vanished. Caffery then after a brief explanation and a protest against the way his people had been treated, changeil his vote to one in favor of the bill and Blanchard voted in the same way. Had Irby stood by the combination, the two Louisiana senators would have remained firm and the vote would have been 37 to SO against the bill. SHOT DOWN BY A NEGRO.

The crowd returned the fire, completely riddling the negroes body with bullets. Hanks was a son of an ex-sheriff of the county, exceedingly popular and his death at the hands of the burly negro lias created great ex citement. STATIONING THE TROOPS.

Next came the famous "collar* and cuffs" amendment, fi::lng the duty on those articles at 30 cents per do:-, u and 30 per cent ad valorem, and on shirts at 50 per cent, equivalent, accord ing to a statement made by Senator Chandler, to an ad valorem rate of from 80 to 135 per cent.

The longest discussion of the day took place on thie proposition—appeals be ing made by republican senators to democratic senators from the wool pro ducing states to supply even two votes for the amendment, which would be enough with the populist votes, to carry it. But these appeals fell on deaf ears. There was not a single dissension from the democratic ranks on the question of wool. The committee amendment plaoing bituminous coal on the dutiable Hat at 40 cents a ton and coal slack at 15 cents was agreed to by a vote of 57 to 6. All the committee amendments to the leather schedule were agreed to; also all the amendments under the title of "miscellsneous manufactures.” The next reserved amendment was paragraph 575, as to paintings on the free list.

Barbed wire was a subject of some dispute. An amendment had been agreed to in the committee of the whole, that barbed wire for fencing should be admitted free of duty. This amend ment was rejected ; and one offered by Mr. Allen, populist of Nebraska, to place “wire for fencing” on the free list was also rejected—yeas 33; nays 38. And to wire remains on the dutiable list, at rates according to guage. Mica was taken off the free list and put on the dutiable list at 30 per cent, ad valo rem, upon motion of Mr. Ransom.

The amendment was agreed to with out divisions. Mr. Allen then offered the amend ment to the sugar schedule of which Mr. Jones gave notice Monday, but which he did not at any time offer la the senate.

Lexington, Ky., July 3.—A scandal involving a young Iticholaavllle mar and a beautiful Leslngton girl, and also a young Boyle county beau, has come to light here and is causing much talk. Two weeks ago Miss Carrie Self, of this city, and Andrew P. Crowe, of NieholasviUe, wore married here. They immediately went to Nioholaa- ville, where Mr. Crowe assists his father in the care of tho cemetery. According to the statement of the groom alt went well until the follow ing Sunday, when Mrs. Crowe and her sister-in-law went into the villiage aad got up a flirtation with some young men. Mr. Crowe scolded his bride of four days for acting thus, and she promised to do so uo more. All went well until last Sunday, when young Crowe wax assisting his father. He says hs was reliably informed that he had not been away from the house more than fifteen minute* until a Mr. Fox. of Danville, strolled by th* house and back again and Mrs. Crowe joined him. The two went to a beautiful woodland near by known sis Duncan's woods, where they were espied by Til- ford Huarows. Burrows told Crows what he saw and the angry young hus band went and procured a buggy, and when his wife returned home late in the evening he persuaded her to enter the buggy with him and drove to this city, arriving at the home of Mra Erd, an aunt of Mra. Crowe, at 4 o’clock. Mr. Crowa returned home and insti tuted proceedings for divorce. Mrs. Crowe denounces her husband ins trong terms and says he is jealous. Her uncle, Nat Kirkpatrick, refused to take her into her home. BRECKINRIDGE VOTES. Rffeet of the Australian Ballot on the Kentucky Fight. Washington, July 3.-“It ia difficult to figure out in advance what effect ths Australian ballot system will have in Colonel Breckinridge's fight for re-elec tion," said Colonel Bush, oue of the leading citizens of Lexington. Ky.. at the Arlington. “If he is nominated, the new system of voting will have to be taken into account in considering the chances of his success. It is true a man may declare himself in opposition to Colonel Breckinridge and then go to the polls and put in a vote for him. “The reverse might also be true. Take the case, however, of a citizen who had promised his wife, we will say, that he would nut vote for a par ticular candidate. Now, it is very true that he might go home and Ha to his spouse about it without her being a whit the wiser, but my belief is that the average Kentuckian will ett do this, and I think if he pledges his faith to hia wife in thia matter he will stick squarely to hia word.” HOWELL THOMAS' TRIAL.
