That Aiken Muddle. The Statement of The Comp? troller General. Comptroller General Norton has re? turned from Aiken where he has re? cently been to make his annual settle? ment with the county officials, and to examine the condition of affairs io that, county. The result of this examination has beeo awaited with interest, in view of the recent presentment of the grand jury of the county. Mr. Norton says that he found that there are irregularities in the office of I the county commissioners, such as let- j ticg contracts for roads, bridges, etc. I He does not, however, think that there has been any benefit accruing to the individual members of the board He j says that it is also true that the ex penses of the couuty show an increase i 'of $7,000 or $8.000 over the expenses ; of last year and previous years. While j this is true, he says, the county oom- j missioners are not entirely responsible j for if, and a comparison of the ex- j penses for the years previous to this year shows that the county commis? sioners had spent no money for the construction of roads and bridges. This part of their duty had been neg? lected aud finally it became a public necessity this year to begio the work. This required an expenditure which seems to indicate that the present com? missioner? have spent more than they ought to have done. The main increase io the expenditures is to be found io the court expenses, owing to the in? crease of the number of criminal cases, and the money that had to be paid witnesses and jurors. It was something that could not be helped. Io regard to the charge of the grand jury that Supervisor Sawyer had used public funds to pay his private debts, Mr. Norton says that Sawyer did pay some private debts on a claim he had I against the county for money owed him. As to the charge of forgery against Sawyer, Mr. Norton says Sawyer did j sigo the name of Major Champion, the clerk of the board to a certificate v. ,e j Champion was sick aod needed the i money, but he did it in the presence of th? board, and with the board's con? sent. The Comptroller states further that so far as his investigation went, there was no politics in the report of the grand jury. It was composed of twelve Reformers ai>d five Conservatives, and the special committee which investi? gate., all these things was composed of 'rjree Reformers and two Conserva- j liv?"*. While the irregularities are apparent, Mr. Norton says he believes that there i has beeo no defalcation, and thc irreg- i alarities have resulted from alack of! knowledge of the law more than any thing else Train Robbers in the Far ! West. Use Dynamite to Stop a Train. GRANT s PASS, OKE., July 2.-The j Southern Pacific overland northbound j train was stopped last night at 10:15 o'clock by three highwaymen near Rid dies, about thirty miles south of Rose-1 burg and thoroughly robbed. Sticks of ! dynamite were placed on the rail which j disabled the eugine by blowing off the flanges on the pony trucks aud brought thc train to a stop. Taking the fire mao, two of the highwaymen proceeded to g?> through the train and every car I from the express to the rear Pullmau vtas searched. Nothing was obtained from the express car for there was no ! treasure on board Oo the mail car . better success was met with, and the Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Victoria, B C., registered sacks were rifled. 1 The passengers were also searched pretty thoroughly, but what success was met! with is not known. One highwayman took a hasty shot at Couductor Kear? ney, who was in charge of the train, but no damage resulted. Superintendent Fields of the South? ern Pacific, in an hour after learning of tbe hold-up. had two parties ou the way to the scene of the robbery. A posse of officers was hastily made up ; in Roseburg and another of rough and ready mountaineers started from here, j Every effort will be made to capture tSe robbers The men of the party starting from here are thoroughly fa? miliar with every foot cf ground in the neighborhood of the robbery. The train was delayed several hours, having beeo compelled to turn the engine around and go into Roseburg back ward. The robbers, io going through the : train, passed all who had the appear? ance of being workingmen, but made others hold up their hands while they went through their pockets. The sheriff of Klamath county was on board with a prisoner. Thc robbers appro? priated the sheriff's pistol. None of the ladies io thc car were molested dur-; ing the time the train was held up, one boor and forty minutes being cou- . sumed. The robbers outside kept firing sticks of dynamite to intimidate the passen gers. After the chief robber had se? cured his booty, be ordered the cngi-1 ueers to proceed north for one hour. He then shot out the headlight, and, firing five additional shots, which were signals to his companions, disappeared in the darkness. It cannot be determined yet how much the robbers secured, but it is thought the amount is small. F Plot ner, H Western Union lineman, had ?50 or $60 in bis pocket, but. talked the robber out of searching him He de scribes the robber who went through the car as a slender man, about six feet tall. He wore a white silk hauk kerchief mask, blue overalls aud jump? er. He had a large bag slung over his shoulder and carried a com mo? grain sack in his hand. His hands were rough and cracked. He had a deep, coarse voice, which could easily be recognized if heard again It was too dark to see the other robbets The engine was so badly disabled that it rook three hours to reach Riddles, four miles distant. Upon the arrival of the train here the sheriff and a posse left for the scene of the robbery. ?- ? mt -QI - Stricken by Lightning. Special to The State.

"Flowed Like Water." ______ The Way if Was With Some Dis-; pensary Whiskey Yesterday Why ? There was a great fall in dispensary whiskey yesterday morning. The long tongue of one of the dispensary way- : ous ran out and collided with a tele? phone pole, and many other tongues of an unofficial character were wet with the whiskey that consequently "flowed like water." One of the dispensary two horse I teams was standing in front of the State dispensary yesterday mnruing loaded with six barrels of corn liquor. 1 An open umbrella rolied in front of; the mules and off they dashed They came up Main to Lady, turned down Lady, then goiog south on Assembly till the corner of Assembly and Gervais was reached. There they drove the I tongue of the wagondeen into a tele- ? phone pole and it stopped very sudden- . ly. One barre! of liquor fell out and the corn trickled out in a good sized stream. Negroes of all ages detected ; the pleasant odor aud they came with hats and pans and gracious knows what, aod there was a great consumption of corn. In a short while thc head dropped out of the barrel and the contents ran out into the rock drain with a rush. Theu there was a scramble for it. Hats were instantly changed into ladles and thc stuff was scooped up and swallowed regardless of ?iirt. Ooe negro got so thoroughly delighted with the situation that, after drinking all he could well staud, he stopped and soaked his head in the "hot stuff.Another negro picked up a handful of the wet sand aud sucked the whiskey out of it. Thc damaged to thc wagou was slight. State. In Darkest Ireland.

TON, ADJUDGED GUILTY OF CONTEMPT FOR VIOLAT? ING AN INJUNCTION BY SELLING WHTSKEY. John Wynbam also Charged With the Same Offense But Deci? sion Reserved. When Judge Buchanan WHJ hoiding court in Charleston he signed injunctions- against a number of men who were charged with sell? ing liquor in violation fe the Dispensary law. Among the number we-e John Wynd? ham nnd W. J. Bowen. These men were served with the injunctions on June 10th Since that date, a member of the Charleston police force, one L. Meyers has made affidavits charging that they have continued selling liquor in defiance of the injunction and in contempt of the court. Judge Buchanan acting uoon tb.^se affi? davits issued an order for Wyndham and Bowen to show cause before him in chambers, to-day, why they should not be ruled for con- | tempt. The cases were heard to-day by Judge Buchanan in his office at hi? residence. Assistant Atttorney General Townsend was i present to represent the State and George S. Legare, Esq., of Charleston appeared in be- ' half of Wyridham. Bowen was not represent- ? ed, nor were either of the principals present at the hearing. . j The case of Bowen vas fir3t taken up. Mr Townsend read the affidavits in support of i the charge that Bowen had violated the in- j junction and was therefore guilty of con tem ot. As Bowen was not present and made no defence, although served with a notice to ;. show cause, he was adjudged guilty of con- ' tempt by Judge Buchanan. The order will he prepared and the penalty fixed by Judge : Buchanan.this evening. The case against Wyndham was then taken I up. A general denial was put in by Mr I Legare, who was armed with a mass of affi davits from reputable parties, who take their meals at Wyndham's restaurant on Meeting' Street in rebuttal of the charge that liquor j had been sold on the premises. These parties ? swore that not only had no liquor been sold io the place since the injunction was issued, but that none had been sold there at any . time to their knowledge. Thur they had asked Wyndhan at different times to servi? j them with beer and other liquor, bat that ; he had refused. Io Wyndham's personal \ affidavit it was stated that his place had i been raided an4 searched repeatedly, but no 1 liquor had been found at any lime, except : on one occasion, a small quantity which : belonged to the owner o? the building which Wyndham rented, and that this fact i had been proven at the time. Lieut. Jas. ? H Fordhan, of the police force, corrobo- ; rated this statement in an affidavit. The State based its case on the affidavit ' of the policeman Meyers, previously men- > tioned, who swore that he bought a glass t beer from Wyndham's clerk on Jun* 25th ! and p*id for it in the presence of T. T. Fuicb. An affidavit from Detective.T?ales was intro duced to prove' that Wyndham had sold liquor nt some time, hut it was not clear that the liquor referred to had neen sold sub- j sequent to June loth The arguments of the a?orneys were 1 confined to questions of fad Assistant Attorney Genem! Townsend spoke first and m?de the most out of his side of the case. He laid great stress upon the .ncrs that Wynd? ham kept a restaurant and ?hal his boarders hud applied to bim for liquor. Both circum-. stances, he claimed, were suspicious. The first, he said, because it is generally accepted in Charleston that a restaur?M is but an ad? junct to a bar. Mr. Legare closed the argu "-nt by a clear presentation of the facts n nebalf" of his client and succeeded in maki ._ * strong case for him. Judge Buchanan reserved bis decission, '? but stated that he would render it as soon as he could thoroughly examine the affida- 1 vi ts laid before him THE CONTEMPT CASE. The Order Against W. J.
