WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19. Important and Significant Railroad Deal. Receiver Ghamberlain7s Cheerful Views?What he Thinks of the Southbound & ?. Special to the Green ville News. Charleston, S. C, Not. It.?The news of the rail-road deal between the Sooth Carolina and East Shore Ter minal companies has been confirmed and has caused great excitement in business and rail road circles. Receiver Cham berlain in an interview this afternoon confirmed the news of the sale. He said : ? ?The East Shore Terminal has now a valuable property in Charleston and three valuable feeders and allies of the South Carolina Road, the Cumber* land Gap, the Barn well and the Black rilfe, Aleton & dewberry. If the Terminal people with others interested in the welfare of the South Carolina Railway will reorganise the latter in the interest of its creditors and of the State the rea alts will be more valu able to the city of Charleston than any thing that has occurred here within many years. As to the motive of the deal Mr. Chamber?a?o said : "The South Bound Rail Road has always been looked upon by mo as a movement hostile to the interest of the South Carolina Railway. It is.in trnth hardly a rail road enter prise. It is a construction company enterprise and I do no: think any rail road man can be found not interested in the enterprise who really believes that the rail road itself would ever pay its running expenses. It will be a costly road and the only profits in it will be to the construction company. "Still such a road having no value can be made the more expensive to the roads that are doing a good and legiti mate business. I have promoted the pnTcnase of the Bara well and lack vili?, Alston & Newberry roads by the Terminal Company for the purpose of securing these sections of country as far as possible for the South Carolina rail way when it shall be reorganized. ' I have no doubt," continued Mr. Chamberlain "that the interest of the purchased property and the South Caro lina Railway and the Terminal will one day be identical The interests of the Terminal Company are now so closely intertwined with those of the South Carolina Railway that it is inevitable Utat they should be run in connection from this time -vu." Mr. Chamberlain was asked if he thought the South Bound project would be continued to completion. *I can't tell," was the reply, "but I am informed that a good many of the subscribers to the stock of the con struction company would be very glad to sell out their interests and to sell them at less than they cost. I bave heard so repeatedly in New York, Baltimore and here. Still the road may be built by the construction com pany as it has ' an interest q :;ite apart from the interests of the road after it ?8 built. It certainly ought not to be built for legitimate rail read pur poses." It is an opeo secret here that the Louisville & Nashville people are back ing up the East Shore Terminal in tue new deal and it looks now very much like the ?ld Reliable will eventually fall into.the hands of the Louisville & Nashville and East Shore Terminal. The last named company is now pre paring to extend its tracks from Market Street, its present terminus, down to the battery. It is expected next season that the emiro cotton business of this port will be re vol etioniied and that every ba?e of cotton coming into the city will be landed from the car directly alongside the ship. The New Coast I?ne. The following report from the rail road committee was read by the chair ana, Mr. Hastie, at a meeting of the Ex. Committee of the Charleston Cham ber of Commerce, on November 12tb, and on motion it was unanimously adopted and its publication authorized : Gentiemen : The railroad committee, to whom wae referred the prospectus of the Charleston, Wilmington and Nor folk Hail read, which it is proposed shall be built between the points indicated in its title via Georgetown, S. C , respect fully Tepori that the benefits and the increased wealth to be derived by this community from materially shortening the time and distance to the Northern centres ani the establishment of mod ern modes of communication between Charleston and a large aad exception ally fertile contiguous territory cannot be overestimated. In fact the field is so broad and varied that it is quite im possible to realize all of its advantages at this time. The prospectus, .hieb appears to be correct in its essentials, shows so clearly that this project is abreast of the age that this committee have only to sug gest that, for obvious reasons, the inter ests of this will be best served if it can be arranged to have the section between Charleston and Georgetown constructed and operated before the completion of the Northern sections. The committee ' bave no longer to consider whether it will be expedient or otherwise to advo cate the building of a railroad between this city and any other point There was a time when tbo superior commer cial advantages of ajacent por.s made it apparent that many such ventures would decrease our receipts instead of improving them, but Ihe present cer tainty of the success of our Jetty system and our new and unrivalled terminal facilities bave entirely reversed the sit uation. We beg to congratulate you that Charleston now holds the position so long and persistently contended for by her Chamber of Commerce. She not only commands the business of the country naturally tributary to her, but is also a strong and well-equipped com petitor for freights from all points seek ing entry or shipment through Southern j ports. With her standard w?.c houses and new and powerful compresses, with ber railroads reaching to the wharves, and her wharves in sight of the sea, Charleston once more stands before us as the commercial city of the South At lantic coast. The Republicans are beating about trying to find some explanation for their overwhelming defeat all over the country last week. Mat Quay takes a short cot in the matter; be says "lack of votes'7 did it. Miller Gives Up the Contest Beaufort, November 12. The com missioners of election for this county for the Federal boxes, consisting of Messrs W. 0. Prent?ss, H D. Burnett and J. B. Walker, and the commissioners for the State election, consisting of Messrs C. S. Johnson, W. N. Barnes and W. H. Townsend, finished the canvass of the election at the several precincts to day, and have made their returns ready to be transmitted to the State board of canvassers. After a most careful and impartial comparison of the ballots none of the Miller ballots attained the requisite standard according to tho law, and the commissioners had nothing to do bat to stick to the law and throw out all illegal votes. The most prominent Rep?blica s io the county admit that there is sufficient cause for throwing out Miller's ballots for the reasons assigned, and the characters of the gentlemen on the board is a sufficient guarantee that they are not to be influenced by public clamor and have done nothiog but what the law prescribes for the protection of Republicans as welt as Democrats. Mr. Reynolds, colored, and Mr. Julius, J. Washington, of the Charles ton? Custom House, who has been in town for the past two weeks represent ing the Republican party in this county and Tom Miller's interests, have signi fied their intention of suing the printers of the Miller tickets for damages for having printed the tickets upon colored paper and for having made them too short and too carrow to pass muster. Mr. Reynolds, a colored lawyer of this town, thicks that Miller will have cause for damage against the printers in every county in the district in which Miller's ballots fail to be counted. He calculates that Miller will make as much by suing the printers as if he undertook to contest the election, and will institute suit immediately. The result of the Federal canvass shows that 685 votes were cast, of which Elliott received 644, Brayton received 32, and scattering 8. Miller received no legal votes The Fusion ticket was elected by a very handsome majority, about which there was no dispute. Two Body Snatchers COME TO GRIEF, AND NOW A FEELING OF RELIEF IS FELT BY ALL. MURFREESBORO, ? ., Nov. 4.? Two negroes, Charles Catchey and A. Childress, were arreste at Evergreen cemetery, a few miles irom the city, for grave robbery, Sunday morning. Catchey is ?rom Nashville and Child ress is a resident of Murfreesboro. Grave-robbing has been practiced in Rutherford county for years, bat all attempts to effect the capture o? the guilty parties were fruitless until now. Catchey, being suspected, was closely watched. At a late hour two officers drove to the cemetery and discovered the corpse of Laura Doment, a color-1 ed girl, lying insule the grounds. The officers cou cea led themselves and soon afterwards Catchey and Childress arrived, and halting at the cemetery secured the body and placed it in their buggy. They were about to drive away when the officers called upon them to surrender. Catchey attempted to draw a pistol, but the officers presented arms and the two | negroes threw up their hands. The prisoners were brought to this j place, where they gave bond for their appearance, two local physicians signing the bond. Catchey, however, concluded to leave town, but his in tention being anticipated he was met \ after going a short distance by three citizens of Murfreesboro, who disarm ed him and took him to jail. The body taken* from the cemetery was reintered at Catchey's expense. There is a good deal of excitement, especially among the colored contin gent, as they have a great horror of body-snatchers. In fact, everybody is glad that a check has been put to this nefarious business. The McKinley Bill Denounced. Adolphus Busch of St. Louis, one of the largest brewers in this country has just returned from Europe. He denounces the McKinley bili in un measured terms, saying, among oth er things : 'it is an outrage ; nothing less. It doubled the price of barley and advanced hops enormously. Now, I haven't asked the government to protect me in the manufacture of beer. I want to be free to trade with the world, and can't do it on account of our tariff laws. The mar ket for American products is grow ing more limited every day. I do not think there will be any direct re taliation by the European govern ments for the McKinley bill, but the retaliation will nevertheless be most effective, although exercised private ly. There is a widespread feeling against American products among the people abroad. It will result in a great decrease in the consumption of American products everywhere, and will seriously lessen exports.' Even Chicago Shocked The advertising business is fre quently carried beyond the bounds of good taste. Every one who has watched a procession?and who has not?has seen at the tag end many and many a time some wagon display ing an advertisement o? some wares or other, and the shouts from the crowded sidewalks were ample testi mony that the cheek of the scheme had met its reward. :! climax oi forbearance was reached the other day, however, when following a solemn funeral cortege, at a little distance, it is true, but near enough to be associated with the sad proces sion, the very thing desired by t he perpetrator, was a wagon bearing the sign painted in large, flaming letters: 'Cure for consumption.'? Chicago Herald. Street Cars in Mexico. The street railway system of the city of Mexico is one of the best managed in the world. Ir. was or ganized some years ago'with a capi tal of ?5,000,000, and is now paying a divident o? * per cent, per annum. The cars arc built by the John Stevenson Company of New York, and are hauled by mules. The cars are graded as to class. Yellow indi cates first class, fare 12 cents ; green, second class, with a slightly reduced fare, and blue, third class, fare G cents to any part of the city. Smok ing is permitted in every class of street car, as it is, in fact, every where in Mexico, excepting only in the churches and in the Pullman sleepers on the ra ilv* s. A Horrible Story. a south dakota mother made a maniac by what she saw. Lead City, S. D. Nov. 8.?August Cartwright, his wife and little child lived in a cabin about six miles from Rockford, where they owned a placer claim at which the husband worked. The family had recently got a New foundland dog, of which they thought a great deal. While the husband was working at the claim yesterday the wife had oc casion to punish the dog, and immed iately thereafter went down to a spring, which was about 100 feet in the rear of the house. She leit the baby and dog in front of thehouse. What was her horroron her return, to discover that the dog had attacked the child in her absence and literally eaten its head off, and was still crunch ing the bones o? the skull. The dog was still fiercely growling. The mother gave one piercing i shriek and fell senseless to the ground. I The cry was heard by the husband, who hastened to the cabin, and seizing an axe, killed the dog on the spot. The mother i? a raving [ maniac. The Cost of Gala Week. I what charleston paid for her fun I and what she made from it. j Charleston, Nov. 3.?Gala week was a big success socially, financially I and otherwise. The railroads brought to the city nearly 25,000 visitors. At I moderate estimate these averaged $10 each spent in the city, or a total ! of $250,000 put in circulation in one week. Now. as to the cost of the ! festival. The finance committee, at ; the head of which is hat born hustler i Mr. L. Arthur O'Neill, the owner of the Grand Opera House, collected about ?5,000 for expenses. This .amount was subscribed by the mer j chants, hotel men and railroads. They engaged Payns's Last Days of Pompeii upon terms which turned to be most profitable to both the con tracting parties. Five performances ! of Pompeii were given, the receipts reaching $11,000. During the week, at a moderate estimate, over 15,000 bushels of oysters were taken by the restaurants ami eaten by visitors. No such a rush has ever been seen in Charleston before. Killed With an Ax. a man found ly'ng in a boarding house yard with his skull crushed. Greenville, S. C, Nov. 4.?Aman named Connelly was discovered lying in the rear of Reese's boarding house on Washington street about 1 o'clock a. m. He was unconscious when found, and an examination revealed an ugly wound on his torchead with the skull crushed beneath it. He was carried to the station honse, where his wounds were dressed by a physician. His condition Is very precarious, and the physician thinks ? his wound certainly fatal. It appears ! that Connelly was found opposite the door leading to a negro servant's house in the yard of the boarding house, and by him was found an ax with blood on it. It is supposed that he tried to enter the negro woman's house and was struck either by the woman or some one else who was with her at the time. The woman has been arrested and lodged in the station house to await the result of the wound. The New Discovery. You have heard y?ur friends and neighbors talking about it.
