Revising Railroad Rates. The New Commissioner Is? sues Startling Circulars. COLUMBIA, January 14.-Special : The newly organized railroad commis? sion has started out at revising rates. Two articles have been affected by special rates just issued. Buggies and carriages and wagons will receive a very considerable reduction in freight rates, and the cotton seed hulls of the South Carolina manufactories can. after the 20th of the month, be shipped at a much lower rate than at this time. Perhaps the most important and general reaching circular is that mak? ing the joint rates from local stations OD one road to another station on an? other line 20 per cent less than the sam of the bcais. It will be seen that this circular exempts the rate now in effect between the Soutt.ern and Coast lines, and that it should not supersede any other joint rate now in force. It is understood that this agreement as to joint rates bas just been effected between the Southern and South Carolina and Georgia Railroads. It is said that this regulation is in "the neighborhood of what is desired r There is no ques tion that the circular is about as far reaching as anything ever yet done by the cohuna issi DO, aod no doubt wiii bc antagonized by some of tbe lines, but the larger systems seem to be agreeable to the arrangement. THAT FAR-REACHING CIRCULAR. The circular (No. 34) reads : OFFICE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS, ) COLUMBIA, January 14, 1895. j Oo and after February 20, 1895, joint rates from local stations on one road or system to local stations on another road or system shall be 20 per cent less than the sum of the locals of each road or system : Provided, that such rates shall not apply to roads which may have adopted joint rates oo or before the date above fixed, which rates shall be on the basis of the joint rates now io force between stations on the Atlantic Coast Line and stations on the Southern Railway and the Rich? mond and Danville Railroad ; Provided farther, that such rates shall not super? sede aoy other joint rates now in force. By the board, W. D. Evans, Chairman. M. L. Bartlett, Secretary. The Rock Hill and Yorkville buggy companies wilt no doubt kick their heels in delight over the reduction io rat? ou their products. The rate on rcl-a^d budgies carriages, etc.. has been ?t?i^ced from one and a halftimes first to first-class. This is a consider? able reduction. The circular (No 33) reads. OFFICE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS, j COLUMBIA, January 14, 1895. j Supplement No 9 to Exception Sheet No. 3 of the South Carolina rail? road commission. ? The toilowiog change to take effect February 20,1895, is made in classifica? tion, viz : Now reads ; Carriages, buggies and trotting wagons, K. D , boxed or well crated, value limited to ?15 per 100 pounds. L. C. L Class D, 1 ; if I released, 1?. Changed to read : Carriages, buggies and trotting wagons. K. D., boxed or well crated, value limited to ?15 per 100 pounds. L. C. L. Class D. 1 ; if released. 1. By the Board. W. D. E^ans, Chairman. M. T. Bartle':. Seeretary. The rate on cotton seed hulls has been reduced to 20 per cent higher than Class L, the lowest rate given in this State. The old rate was what was known as Class D, which is the same rate as on hay and grain. The cir? cular (No 35) reads : OFFICE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS, | COLUMBIA, January 14, 1895 j Supplement No. 10 to Exception Sheet No. 3 of the Scuth Carolina railroad commission. The following change to take effect February 20, 1895, is made io classi? fication, viz : Now reads : Hulls, cotton seed, L. C. L., Class D, same as hay and grain. Changed to read : Hulls, cotton seed, L. C. L., 20 per cent higher than Class L. lowest shipped. By the board. \V. D. Evans, Chairman. M. T. Bartlett, Secretary. It will be seen that the commission has this time taken the precaution of giving thirty days, notice before the new rates and regulations are to go into effect. A professor of the Wesleyan Uni? versity claims to have discovered the bacillus of "June" butter. There is a flavor about the butter made io June that is not possessed by the butter of any other month. The professor says L other butters may be inoculated with the bacilli aod become as sweet as the sweetest, aod as pure as the purest. Futhermore, flies will not light on the inoculated butter. Thirty-three fatalities have beeo re? ported for the last season in the Alps, ' which is less than the average. Four persons met their deaths by avalanches or falling stones, six by exposure to the weather, fourteeo missed their footings and fell down precipices, three were killed by lightning, one fell into a glacier fissure, one was lost while seek? ing edelweiss, and four cases are unex? plained. The Butte Castrophe. Acres Strewn With Dismem? bered Human Limbs. BUTTE. MONT., Jao 17.-When tbe smoke caused by the successive explo 8?0O8 of giaut powder at the hardware i warehouse last night had cleared away | the sight which presented itself to the survivors was sickening in the extreme. The ground for a block around the scene of the accideut was strewn with quivering flesh of the dismembered men and horses, pioned down by frag? ments of fire engines and burning ? brands from the demolished warehouse. The warehouse was literally blown to pieces and a hole seventy-five feet deep was excavated in the ground by the | force of the explosion. It is feared ! that some bodies were thrown into this j chasm by the force of the explosion and ! and that they have been cremated. Owing to the nature of the fire and its dangerous locality, the entire fire force were called out to prevent the spread of the flames to the adjoining buildings Three policemen had been detailed to keep the crowd back and they were also killed. Many of the spectators were instantly killed and several were hurled back for some dis? tance from the scene of the fire, and i were rendered unconscious by the force of the shock. Numerous persons liv- j iog io distant parts of the city have lost the power of speech from force the shock. The list of tbe dead will pro? bably reach 75 *3nd the damage done ! to property will be more than $1,0UU, 000. In all, three car loads of powder exploded. At 2 o'clock this morning forty-three j dead dies had been found and re- j moved to the morgue. Many of them were shockingly burned aud so muti lated as to be totally unrecognizable. A small boy, whose name is not known, rbout ten yeers of age, was found dead in the street a block and a half away from thc scene of the ex? plosion. Ooe woman was killed io a j boose half a blocks away by ao anvil thrown through the roof. Human heads, legs and arms were scattered for several blocks from the scene of the greatest of three explosion. It is be? lieved that the complete list of the dead cannot be secured for several clays. The first explosion was caused by nito glycerine stored in the private warehouse of the Kenyon-Connel Com? mercial Co., which was burned. The second came from a car load of powder ! on the railroad track and the third from I the warehouse of the Butte Hardware Company, which adjoined that of the ? Kenyon Connell Company. At ten o'clock this iorenoou tl?2 | known number ot the dead was forty- ' seven. This list will undoubtedly be increased when the debris of the explo- j sioo is removed, as it is almost certain that bodies lie hidden io the ruins of ; the demolished warehouse. Of the dead thus far recovered, twenty-six j have been identified either wholly or partially. In some cases the identifi? cation bas been by articles of clothing or jewelry, the bodies being defaced | and blackened so as to render personal ; identification impossible. It is not im? possible that in some cases mistake*, have been made, but, io general, there is little doubt as to the identity of the bodies. Some of the bodies or portions of bodies, wiil never be identified, be- ! cause of the frightful mangling they '? have undergone. Headless trunks without a vestige of clothing adhering to them, dismembered limbs and pieces of flesh are in some cases all that is : left. The dead are now distributed ] among tha various undertaking estab lishments, but some time to-day or to- ? morrow all will bc collected in one i place so that identification may be fa eil- j itated. No arrangements have been ! made for the funeral, but it will be a public affair and union services will be held by the clergymen of all denomina? tions. The families of the firemen and policemen who died io the performance j of their duty, will be taken care of by j the city. Public subscriptions will be | started for the relief of others Reorganizing the Militia. ! Adjutant General Watts is now at his office busy preparing for the re organization of the entire military force of the State under the new militia i law passed at thc last session of the State Legislature. He expects to issue a general order ' in a few days applying to the reorgan? ization, changing certain companies from one regiment to another, aod re? arranging all the regiments, battalions, etc. This work is already well uoder way. Gen. Watts says he finds that the militia men throughout the State are taking more kindly to the enlistment pian than they did at first before they understood it. A general order will also be issued this week instructing all companies to prepare for inspection at once, as the Adjutant General intends to make the j inspections much earlier than usual this year, most companies being com? posed of farmers, who would otherwise have to leave their crops at critical times. The Adjutant General yesterday for- i warded bis annual report to the Adju? tant General of the United States, as required by law.-Thc Stute. The Georgia Cracker, in the column j contributed by Lecturer Ham, quotes a distinguished citizen on the subject of "Provincialism Strange Impromptu Duel. Evans' Brother And Till? man's Nephew. It does seem strange to bear of members of the Tillman and Evans families popping away at each other with revolvers at short range in an impromtu duel, especially when one considers how intimate ex-Governor Tillman and Governor Evans have been in their political life It was therefore a matter of keenest surprise j to many yesterday when the news I reached Columbia that Capt. James I H. Tillman, the nephew of ex-Govern or Tillman, and son of ex-Congress- ; man Geo. D. Tillmau, and Mr. Bar-1 nard B. Evans, the youngest brother ; of Governer Evans, had had such a j duel in the law office of Attorney S. McGowan Simpkins, in Edgefield, j and that both the combatants had been wounded. The shooting had taken place ou Monday afternoon j about 5:30 o'clock, yet no news of it i was sent out from Edgefield by wire. ! None could be obtained yesterday in i that way. The first news of the affair was im- \ pated to Governer Evans by a rela- ; live, who came from Edgefield on Monday night, and the Governer ? went over on the early train yester? day morning. During the day several gentlemen : went cann; in from Edgefield-friends j of both parties-and from them sev- j eral stories of the affair were obtained, j The stories on opposite sides conflict i in most material particulars Last night Thc Stn tr. received a story by wire from Edgefield, the information in which is incorporated below. The State endeavors to present below the j substance of all these stories, with-! out prefudice to either side, lt is a j difficult undertaking, but then if there be shortcomings, none but j those in the room when the shooting took place can give a true version, and doubtless the version of each ! man present would vary greatly. For a long time there has been bad blood between the two young men | It originated during the holiday sea son 1893-94, over a year ago, at a ! German given in Edgefield by the ? club of which Mr. Evans wa6 the ! president and Capt. Tillman a mem? ber. This trouble was purely of a j personal nature. And it was ; the direct cause of thc shooting, the feeling having grown more intense, on account of utterances on the part: each, since the affair occurred. The young me!) were brought to? gether thus: Prim* to the affair mentioned above Capt. Tillman had entered into a financial obligation to Mr. Evans He had very nearly discharged the obligation it seems, when he failed to meet a certain date. ' Mr. Evans then placed the matter in Attorney Simpkins' hands, instruct? ing him to bring suit. Capt Tillman signified his desire to discharge the obligation and end the matter, pro? vided Mr. Evans were present. Mr. I Simpkins on Monday afternoon went ; to Mr. Evans and informed him that Capt Tillman was at lu's office and ! said he was ready to end the matter, but insisted on Mr. Evans being present. So far al! the stories agree, except that one says that Capt. Till? man "was asked" to meet Evans in Mr Simpkins'office. Several stories agree that when j Mr. Simpkins went to Evans and 'told j him of Capt Tillman's statement, j Evans said that there was bad blood I between them, and it would be best that they should not meet. They I say, too, that Mr. Simpkins said that j it was only a business matter and j that alone was concerned. Anyway j Mr Evans went to the office. While j Mr. Simpkins and Capt Tillman were ! talking, it seems, Capt Tillman, so j one story goes, remarked that the ? thing would have been settled sooner, j but Evans had insulted him a year j ago and had acted the d-u scoundrel i all the way through. This story then ! ' goes that Mr. Evans, who was behind j Jillman, fired, the ball entering the j cheek and coming out at the chin. Other stories say that Tillman ; brought in the reference of the old | difference, when Mr. Simpkins said : that was not the matter to be settled. Evans said that if Tillman felt he had been insulted, he was ready to give him satisfaction at any time, but that j this was another matter and he had ; come there to settle it. According 1 to these accounts Tillman then whip- j ped out his pistol and with the remark that if Evans was ready to I give satisfaction, the time and place I was immaterial, and they might as j well settle it, fired a shot, the ball going through Evans' hat. Another story is to the effect ih?t j when Tillman made his remark about J the scoundrel, Evans gave it the '< "?-n lie," and thereupon the shoot-, iug began. it is hard to tell much about the shooting itself Some say each man shot four times, and some say three. Some say Evans fired the first shot and some say the contrary The first story was to the effect that Tillman fired first ; that Tillman was going out of the office when , Evans fired his last shot, hitting him j in the chin, and Tillman turned and 1 fired his last shot, hitting Evans in ! the shoulder. Another story goes that Tillman, says Evans shot him from the rear when he was not expecting it ; that Tiliman'6 first shot went through ? Evans' ?jut ; that Tillman7*? next ran along Evans's arm and came out back of ihe shoulder; that Tillman was shut in the chin and had his pistol hand disabled ; that each fired four shots ; that George Evans was in the same building in another office, and when the shooting began, hurried into Simpkins' office, but no further shooting took place : that Tillman stood at the door for some time after he left' the office, declaring that Evans had tried to shoot him in the back ; that Tillman was out on the streets yesterday ; and that both men had been placed under arrest by the town marshal. Another story is to the effect that Evans first shot went through Tillman's cheek, coming out at his chin ; that Capt. Tillman turned and fired, the bullet entering Evans' arra ; that the two next shots were fired simultaneously, Tillman's bullet piercing Evans' left breast, ranging around the body and lodging under the left shoulder blade, while Evans' ball entered Tillman's right hand and ranged up the arm ; that on the third fire Tillman's bullet entered Mr. Evans' hat at the band, and had not Evans dodged, the shot would have been fatal ; that the ball from Evans' pistol passed through Tillman's trousers ; that Mr. N. G Evans fired a shot or two harmlessly as he came upon the scene, the bullets finding resting places in the wall; that (.'apt Tillman was at his law office all day yesterday; that Mr.! Evans was in bed last evening and physicians were probing for the ball in his shoulder. THE WHY AND WHEREFORE. Now these are the several stories of all sides obtained yesterday, and they aie given for the information of j the public, and in order that justice j may be done to all the parties, so far as the means of obtaining information are productive of results. Considerable of a stir was created in Columbia by the affair.- The State, j _ _ i - ? - ?in Died Suddenly. The "Wife of Judge R. C. Watts Passes Away at Her Home.

Tile President o? the French Gives up His Office. Offended at the Censure of the Government by the Vote in the Chamber of Deputies Monday. PARIS, Jan. l5 -M. Casimir Perier has resigned his office of President of France. He announced his resignation this evening at a specially summoned meeting of the cabinet, having pre? viously informed M Challemel-Lacour, the president of the Senate, of hit* in? ability to solve the problem presented by thc resignation of Premier Dupuy. The news nf the Presidents resigna tico spread like wild fire throughout Paris, and was received everywhere with consternation amounting almost to paralysis. In toe newspaper offices the first report was considered absurd, but was soon confirmed. Almost sim? ultaneously crowds began gathering in front of the uewsparer offices and in the public places, inquiring for further particulars and discussiug thc situa? tion. The following official communi? cation, dictated or written by M Sasi mir-Perier, was made public before midnight. : "The Pr?sident of th* Republic has taken a resolution to resign his official functions. Yesterday 's proceedings an J vote in ?he Chamber of Depnties are in his eyes but <ec'>ndary incidents of the struggle that has begun against parliamentary regime and public liber? ty. He had honed that the President of the Republic, being unprovided with meaos of actioo, would remain outside the lines of party struggles, and that the political coofidence of all parties would give bim the necessary force and authority. He had hoped that those, who in spire of himself, bad placed him io a position where he can? not defend himself, would undertake the defense of the first magistrate of the State. He has requested the min? isters :o withdraw their resignations, provisionally, io order to assure the regular traosmissioo of bis powers to his successor. Monsieur Charles Du? puy, president of the council, has in? formed thc President of tbs Senate and Chamber of Deputies, of the decision of the President of the Republic and they are goiog to coovoke Parliament with urgency." M. Challemel Lacour, president of the Senate courteously allowed himself to be interviewed by the Uoited Press correspondent late this evening, not? withstanding the great pressure of busi? ness >uddeoiy thrust upon him by the presi-ient/s resignation. He said it h:*d not been decided whether to convoke the national assembly to elect a succes? sor to M. Cassimir-Perier for ISth or 19th inst. He will probably announce thu dato to-morrow on tho meeting of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies Casimir-Perier's reference in his pub? lic communication to hi? inability to defend himself in the presidency may be explained by the fact that as he was a sub-secretary of State io the cabinet which concluded the railway conven? tions in 1893, he regards the adverse vote on the subject in the Chamber, Monday as a personal reflection upon him, although he had no vote in the cabinet wheu the conventions were made. Whether ibis be the reason of his resignation or not, it proves to what length he is prepared to go against the Socialists, whom he regards a.s aim? ing at a revolution. When the United Press correspon? dent left the Chamber of Deputies at 7.30 o'clock this evening not the slight? est suspicion ot M. Cassimir-Pc.ier's intention to resign had been remotely suggested, so that the announcement, when made, came like a thunder clap from a clear sky. Extremist newspaper men received the Haws with jubilation. The editor of La Petite Republique was wildly elated, but considered it certain that M. Cassimir-Perier would be re-elected if he would be a candidate again. Oth? erwise there is a consensus of opinion that Henri Brissin is certain to be elected to the presidency of the Repub? lic.

Christina Georgina Rossetti, the English poet, who died the other day j was the third of the gifted children of i Gabriel Rossetti. She was born in London 1830, was a deep student of early Italian poetry and her later verse is permeated by religious senti? ment. "Provincialism is the curse of the age. Ooe-half thc people do not know how the other half live, and when they find out do not benefit by the knowledge. I know a bright aod well educated man who has been away from home a great deal, spent eight or ten years in northern and eastern cities, aod yet the mold of the northeast Georgia soil is on him yet, and he will never get over it. Of course we are all provincial at first, just a3 every tadpole is boro with a tai!, but some of us shed it and some of us do oot. ? I wish there were some way io make every man shed the tadpole tail of j provincialism, and learn that the little spot where he happened to be born is not the hub of the earth. It would 1 save lots of trouble." 1 Seeking the Old Age Germ. Aa Italian bacteriologist h?.s to some estent startled his professional bn-thren with a proposition which he defends with warmth and skill, it ts to the effect that old ?ge is due to ? specific bacillus, and that that bacillus may be discovered and it?? evil office> counter? acted. ID simple terms, the Italian asserts that perpetual manhood, if not perpetual youth, is a rea.-onabie end to be aimed at by scientists. Ho shows and his professional brethren sgree with j hito-that the ? issue changes of 3d : vatjc.'d life may he traced indirectly to germs. In the body there are pro? duced ptomaines, or poisons, and these poisons set up various degenerative : processes in the vital orgaus-the ' liver, the kidneys, tue blood, etc. The ptomaines are geoerated Dy bacilli. : The professor thinks that science should . be able to run through the series of : causes and effects until the specific : germ of old age is fouud and dealt with Hts theory is so far-reaching and ap ; pareotly impossible that it finds few i adherents.
