Commissioner Arrested Col. Mix?on and Constable Beach in the Net. Tbs dispensary ia? aod if? violation ts io the United States C*>urt again and all day long yesterday there were interesting proceedings. Io fa*r, the latest move caused some what of a sen? sation, tod Br. Pope was the moving attorney again. It TO hard to tell now what move? tn the dispensary ?nd reg? istration laws will develop any day Every day there seems to be a new, case. This time Commissioner Misson and Constable Beach are in it. it was surmised when Dr. Pope came down here the day previous, bringing United States commissioner Reid, of New berry, along with bim, that he was about to make another and a new move, bat it wart not known from which quarter he would proceed. He did not leave anyone in doubt Wednesday morn? ing as to what he nroposed doing. It was about 9 30 o'clock when Com? missioner Reid'? portly Unite ri States deputy marshal walked into the State dispensary and perilla? a warrant from bis pocket, arrested State Liquor Com? missioner Misson, demanded the deliv? ery of certain seised goods, and weiut ahead and arrested Constable George Beach also. Milson told him to con? sider the seized goods ia his possession for the purpose r-f the case. He then allowed Commissioner Milson to re? main at large upon his word rb*f he would appear at the United S?'a??s court boase at the appointed hour to stand hts preliminary examination Beach he took along with him The commissioner and the constable were arrested on two separate though simi? lar cases* each being charged with con? spiracy to interf?re with the operation of the interstate commerce law. It was more along the line of the Debs case than any legal proceeding that, has yet developed io the dispensary troubles. The first ease was brought by Dr Pope for Mr? C. J. Beck, one of the most widely k*>own citizens of Colombia. Here is the affidavit he made before the commissioner. The United States of America, District of Sooth Carolina, Richland Cooa Personally came before me, Charles J. Beek, a citizen of the State of Sooth Carolina, residing io Richland County, tn said State, who, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he ordered from the Angosta Brewing Company, a cor? poration doing boara ess io the city of Au eu?ta, in the State of Georgia, one cask of beer (ten dozen) Augusta Ex? port B .??aid he had not asked the commissioner to return the liquor Assistant Attorney General Townsend tried to make him answer a question as to whether be had ever hauled any contraband liquor, but Dr Pope objected. The quent ton was not answered, though Mr. Beck said he was willing to do so. Mr. Muller was then examined. He ordered some beer from Augusta last i Friday, from the Augusta Brewing j Company. It arrived at tbe Southern Railway depot on June 4th. The beer was seized. He sent for it. The wagoner brought word back that it was seized. I went to see Mr. ;Mixsson I told him that they had a barret of beer of mine, boogbt for private use. My wife was sick and ? wanted it for her to take as a touio. Rs told me I'd have to go before a trial justice and f-wear it was for my own privare u^e He said he didn't know whe.'ber be had it yet or not I didu't get it There was another party who had some of the beer in the barrel. Cross examination : He didn't hear anybody say at the dispensary that it wa? not iu the house. He told mc to make an affidavit and swear that it was for my own use. I couldn't swear to that. Mr. T. F. Baxter, deputy United States marshal, testified that he served the papers in the case of the United States vs. F. M. Mixson, and be admit? ted to me that he had both packages in bis possession. THK COURT'S DECISION. Commissioner Reid then stated that he would very much like to be excused from passing upon these cases. He said that he had. beard hundreds of oasesv argued in his experience and be had never yet been a ec used of showing partiality in rendering, his decisions, j These were very peculiar cases. The | taws of South Carolina of recent years had been very oppressive. This dis- j peosery law bad been brought up be fore Judge Simonton and he bad de dared it unconstitutional, and that ?? citizen bad a right to have liquo. ; brought into the State for his own use. The dispensary authorities were main? taining that- the borden of proof that a mau bought the liquor fdr bi's own use was upon the party, buying the liquor. In his opinion the law did not con-1 t?mplate any euch thing. If was never intended that a man would have to I submit evidence that he bought the j liquor for his own use This decision J of Judge Simon too gave to every citi zen the right to get ali the liquor be j wanted for his personal use without in-1 terferettce from anybody. My opinion 18 that the people have rightly inter- j .prated Judge Simontou's decision I think that those parties are entitled to ; their liquor without interference and I shall bold that the defendants are in j contempt of Judge Simon ton's order of injunction and shall require them to give bond for their appearance for trial. I shall require also the order of search and seizure to be carried out and I will ask Commissioner Mixson whether he will turn the property over j according to his agreement with the deputy this morning or whether I must enforce the order. Mr. Mixson said that he would do whatever his attorney advised him to do. Later, he announced that the prop- ! erty would be turned over to the United j States deputy marshal as soon as be j called for it. THE BONDS FIX?D. After a good deal of talking, Con- ; stable Beach's bond was fixed at ?*250 ; in each case and Commissioner Mixsou'e j ?500 in each case Coustable Beach stating that he was a poor mao, be j was allowed to give bond in "his owu | recognizance" and go his way. Col I Mixson was also allowed to give his bond in this manner, although he j stated that he could give a bond of a j million dollars if necessary. The j bonds are for the appearance of the j men at the uext term of the District j Court to be held in this city in Novem- ! ber. In the afternoon, after the hearing had been concluded, the deputy went j to the State dispensary and the seized ; packages were turned over to him. He ; delivered them to their owners. Dr Pope seemed to be thoroughly satisfied with the result of the proceed- ; ins?. The Butchery of Clavijo. Gen. Primo Rivera's Assail ant Shot to Death. MADKID, June 5.-Maj, Ciavijo, the assailant of Capt. Gen. Primo Kivera, was shot this morning At 2 o'clock Clavijo was awakened hy rhe guard and the sentence of th? ?ourt martial aod the war minister's confirmation of the finding "of the court, were read to bim. The condemned man listened to j the reading without showing any signs of emotion. He complained, however, that be bad not been allowed to get a good night's sleep. At 5 o'clock he was conducted to the prison chapel, where i he attended mas* and made confes? sion. He wa3 then informed that his execution was fixed for 7 oVock on the field of San bidro. A carriage awaited him at the prison entrance, and as he stepped inside the vehicle it was sur? rounded by an infantry guard and the march began. On arriving at San Isidro, Clavijo descended from the carriage with the air of a man who came out for a pleas nre drive. As he alighted he was sur rounded by the priests of the Brother? hood of Penance and Charity, whom he saluted gravely. One of 'he priests stepped forward and veiled the con? demned man's f-yi*s wi h a nandercbief and then withdrew, leaving Clavijo standing alone awaiting the fatal mo? ment. The splendid military bearing of the condemned man aroused the sympathy of all present, the officer in command of the guard being notice? ably affected, and there were traces of deep emotion io his voice as be gave the order to fire. A* the order was given to fire, there waa a roar of musketry and Clavijo fell with three bullets in his bead, but be was not yet dead. Seeing that be moved, the order was given to fire an? other shot, which took effect it* the chin, and as there was still motion in the body another shot was fired into his heart. Clavijo being theo pro? nounced dead, the troops marched past the body and returned to their quar? ters. The large crowd which had assem? bled in the square groaned with hor? ror at seeing the soldiers fire three times upon the unfortunate officer, twice ioto his prostrate body. Cotton Futures.

Maids Made Mad. Rebellion in a Female Col lege in Georgia. ? ? j AUGUSTA, Jone 4.-A special fo the Chronicle from Milled^eville, Ga , say?: \ "There was a senaatiou to-day dorins: j the commencement exercises of the ! Georgia Normal and industrial College, ? growing out of the conflict of the au ! tbority between the trustees and fac ? ulty. The case of one of the students expelled for breach of discipline iuvoiv I ins: the integrity of ber examination, the faculty decided that she was not entitled to a diploma. The trustees de I cided otherwise, as previous to exauxi I nation in question the young lady had been found to be entitled to a certificate ! as a graauafe. I After a full hearing of the case, tho I trustees decided to reverse the action j of the faculty and issued a diploma I When the youug lady's name wan an j nonnced among the graduates, Presi? dent Chappell arose and protested on behalf of the faculty against the action of toe trustees. Governor Atkinson held that the case had been investi? gated fully and that the trustees had derermined in accordance with the law of the college tn issue the diploma and to a?sutuf all responsibility for its ac? tion There is no question as to the authority of the uoard of trustees or as to rh?' right of a studeut to appeal from th? faculty to the board. When Gov? ernor Atkinson announced that the trustees would deliver the diploma, the students, the faculty and the audience were amazed. After President Chap- j peil made his protect, Governor Atkin sou stepped forward before the ap? plause had died away, and with a face white with rage and in a voice ? choked with anger,, Le turned to Pro? fessor Chappell and ottered theae words amid a death like silence: 'I have known Professor Chappell a long time, but I never thought he could be guilty of an act unbecoming a gentleman and so unchivalrous as persecuting a defenceless girl.' "He waited a moment to give bis words effect and then be said further : 'The hoard of trustees were guided j solely by justice in this affair and they j have stood between a gross wrong and the most absolute justice/ Again there was silence. 'The teachers in this institution,1 be said, 'cannot confer di? plomas. Their terms eod with this commencement and they have no right to do so under the law.' "Io the pause that endued, every teacher on the stage and every student present rose en masse and accompa? nied by nearly the whole audience, started to leave the room. The gover? nor stood in amazement at such a spec? tacle, a blush mantling his cheeks. \ Gray-beaded men present never renaem ! bered such a spectacle of silent indig ! nation hurled at the ohief executive Prof. Chappell stepped quietly forward and in a few words called the audience back, the Governor meanwhile uttering some remarks, the purport of wbich was not clearly understood. "Theo Fleming BuBignou asked the privilege of a word and stated that tbe trustees merely wanted to do justice to the young lady The benediction was pronounced and the exercises were over. "But the most humiliating expe? rience yet remained for Georgia's chief executive. Here Governor Atkinson has been the idol of tba college. The students enthusiastically supported him in their own way in bis race for Gover? nor and when be was inaugurated, they moved heaven and earth to get permission to attend the exercises in a body. But to-day, as the Governor stepped from the stage, be was met by *200 angry, tearful faces, and, ignoring all rules of courtesy, the young maids hissed him to the echo. The senior class immediately held a session and unanimously refused to receive their diplomas from the board of trustees " The college has 310 students. - ? $ t i a The Government Gets its Gold. A Woman Betrays Pickier, Who Stole S80.000 in Gold Bais From the Carson Mint. CARSON, NEB. June 5,-The ?80, 000 io gold bars stolen from the Carson mint was recovered yesterday in a most unexpected way when the Government officers dug up the treasure io the wood shed of Wm. Pickier, an employee in the melters' and refiners' department, whe had not even been suspected. Pickier was betrayed by a woman with whom he bad been living, and whom he bad abused. She came to the officers on Monday night and told them that she would disclose yesterday the hiding plaee of the missing bullion. True to her promise, she appeared and gave minute directions for dtff^inc in one corner of Pickler's wood shed. There the bars of gold were unearthed just as they had been stolen from the mint This discovery bears out the case which the Government experts had formulated against the employees in this depart? ment. If any one of the gang now turns State's evidence tho whole truth will come out. Bucklen'g ArnlcH Salve. The liest Salve in the world for Cut?, Brutees Sores, Ulcer.?, Salt Rhcuiu.

The Conditions Have Not Been so Favorable as Last Year. NEW YORK, Jane 6.-Tire Chronicle has. issued its aouual statement of cot fou acreage, eland and condition. The estimated d?cre?.se in acreage by States is as follows : North ( karolina, 20 per cent.; South Carolina, 10 per ceut ; Georgia. 13 per cent.; Florida, 5 per cent ; Alabama, ll per ceut ; Missis? sippi. 10 per cent.; Louisiana, 14 per cent.; Texap, ll per cent.; Arkansas, 12 per cent.; Tennessee, 9 per cent; other States and Territories, 12J per cent. The average decrease is 11.6 per cent. The acreage is 17,767,663 against 20,410,247 acres last year. The smali decrease in Florida is due rn larger planting of sea island cotton. The crop is unquestionably late. The weather up tn May 2 was not favorable. It is not certain whether permanent injury has resulted or not. Probably serious harm has resulted iu only limited areas. Cultivation has not been as thorough as it was a year ago. There has been very heavy decrease io the takiog of commercial fertilizers, but of home made fertilizer a slightly greater use t? reported. The condition of the plant was less satisfactory at tbe close of the month than at the same date last year. The States of less promise are the Carolinas and Georgia, but the plant is late almost everywhere and so is farm work. The condition is not ne? cessarily unpromising, but more de? pends upon future development than has been the case in other productive year?. "Country Come to Town " Chicagoans Go to Springfield and Get Hobb9d. CHICAGO, June 6.-The delegation of Cook county Democrats who went to Springfield to attend the monetary con? vention, or as interested spectators, re? turned this morning and admitted that wholesale thefts had been committed at the capital, the victims in most cases being prominent Republicans who had attended the convention. Three local politicians, two Democrats and one Re? publican are suspected as be being the leaders of the gang. An afternoon paper says that seven pickpockets who were taken from Chi? cago to do the ingrafting were arrested at the capital last night before the Cook county delegates left for home, and the Chicago politiciaos only re? mained behind to see them out of their trouble. Other delegates aod visitors from Chicago aod country towns were robbed of money, watches, chaios. dia? monds aod clothing Maoy are known to have had valuable property stolen, would Dot admit the thefts. Numerous hats, coats and canes were taken" from the hotel rooms. In many instances the Democrats who were robbed had their property returned, and they were charitable enough to call the affair a de? plorable joke. An afreroooo paper accuses certain Democrats of forming a conspiracy to rob Republican aod "gold Democrats" so as to pay the expenses of the trip.
