The Past and the Future. Along With a Glimpse of the Legislative Present. At the opening of this, the sixth week of the annual session of the gen? eral assembly the special bill providing for the fiual adjournment of the body seems to be far away at the tail end of the calendar of time. It is simply "out of sight.'' It seems to have been recommitted. The seoate as a commit? tee of the whole is on a quiet hunt for it, but over in the house no search seems to have been instituted. Of course it will be found some time or other, but exactly when noone can with any degree of safety at this stage pre? dict. The first scent of the missing link was found yesterday when it be? came impossible to introduce any more bills in the house exeept through the committees. There was not so much talk about the poor white man during the week just ended, but the new con? stitution began to get in its work in the hands of the legal members of the house and it was oft quoted. ?There bas been very little of genuine importance accomplished during the past week, though a considerable amount of work has been done and there have been some interesting discussions. So Car as results are concerned, however, most of them have been of a minor character. The railroads got through the week without any material damage in the lower house. The senate has gotten up with its calendar and for several days has been waiting on the bouse. It bas killed the thirteen hour bill, the Saturday uight closing bi:l and the bill relating to the prohibition of the organization of com? panies bearing arms, not being a portion of the State militia. The committee has reported favorably on the three-cents-a mile house bill and unfavorably on the Jim Crow car bill, and both have been recommitted to the committee on rail? roads. The senate bas also passed thc adulterated butter and milk bill. The house is where public attention is directed now. It has about one hun? dred and thirty bills still on its calen? dar. Of these only twenty-six are senate bills and resolutions. And nearly all of the general bills are among them, along with others calcu? lated to occasion much debate. The house is now jost ready to get down to work and this week will witness many matters of general interest. The registration bill has been practi? cally disposed of, the provision for an openly conducted examination being stricken out after an exceedingly inter? esting debate. The bill was simply sent baokto the committee for it to incorpor? ate the numerous house amendments. Ail thc other election measures, includ? ing Mr. Manning's Australian ballot bill are on the special order list still awaiting consideration. Of course they will h?.ve to be disposed of. Another interesticg and important matter during the past week waa the question as to the disposition of the privilege tax. Mr. Connor's bill to j abolish it was thoroughly discussed, aod was killed. Mr. Ramsford's bill to allow specific sums to go to Winthrop and Clemson and put the excess into the general fund is still pending with every indication that it will pass. "?The senate bill relating to magis ?OB O D trates has been practically disposed of after a pretty thorough debate, but is still on the calendar. The state fair bill is till under the head of unfinished business on a motion to reconsider the vote whereby the enacting words were stricken out. Another rock on the special order cal? endar is the senate bill relating to building and loan associations. For tomorrow the special orders are the general bill fixing the compensation of county officials, making it uuiform in proportion to population of the seve? ral counties, and Mr. Patton's ware? house bill. The bouse has already wrestled over j the appropriation bill, stumbling on the i ?6,000 Atlanta exposition rock, unde j the guidance of Mr. Williams, of j Edgefield, and having a very interest- : ing debate over it. This was the item which caused the attorney general to be asked for his opinion as to its constitu? tionality, and elicited his opinion al? ready published. This bill has been made a special order for Wednesday. Iii the other general bills not already disposed of are occupying their posi? tions on the calendar. The senate's concurrent resolution fixing the time for the final adjourn? ment has been made a special order for Thursday, but the house will scarcely be able to handle it by that time. It is thus saen that the heaviest work of the bouse is just beginning, and it is not unlikely that Mr. Earle's resolution fixing the five-minute and only-once rule as to speeches will have to be adopt? ed, as well as Mr. Otts" resolution j looking to the appointment of a com- j mittee to arrange the calendar putting I ail the important bills first. During the past week the governor's special message relating to the dispen- ! sary system, and making recommenda? tions as to changes in the dispensary law was presented and read. As yet nei? ther house has a bili before it looking to carrying out these amendments. Another feature of the proceedings of the past week -was the passage of Mr. L. J. Williams' important salary reduc? tion bill. With its provisions all are familiar. As to tbe investigating committees, the Clemson college committee has not yet presented its report to the general assembly, but expects to do so to-mor row or Wednesday. The public prim? ing committee bas not presented its re? port either, but it is at work. This committee ha* the biils relating to the i public printing io its baud:* aud they will cot be considered further until the j report is presented. Of course the ? election of a public priuter is conse- j quently delayed. The uoseating of Messrs Gaston and ; Duncan was another ot' he ^features jo j the week ic the house. They are no looser to be seen on t' s floor. The next day after the action was taken : unseating them, one member pointed to ; Mr. Gaston's empty chair abd remark- j ed, with much sadness. ''There is ao Aiken void." Both the income tax bills have been unfavorably reported and they are far down on the calendar. There if not much prospect, it is understood, of either of them passing. Mr. Floyd's license bill has just made its appearance in the house. It is a graduated license bill, and it may get a diploma. Of course BO one can tell, however, what its fate will be. One thing is certain it will have to get a diploma signed by tbe president of the Senate, the speaker of the house and the governor before it can "practice" Mr. Earle's bill to provide a system of county courts has also just made its appearance A glance over the above partial sum? mary of the matters yet to be considered shows very clearly that the bulk of the work is yet to be done, and it will have to be hard work to make any headway. A good many bills will of necessity have to be left on the calendar at the final adjournment or else the session will be prolonged indefinitely. Such cer? tainly is the outlook at this stage of the proceedings.-State, Feb. 17. In Habana Province. Both Gomez and Maceo Operating There. Habana, Feb 16.-The air is full of rumors. One is that 24 political prisoners in the Cabanas were shot Wednesday night. Weyler says he knows nothing of it. Ii is also said Gomez has notified Weyler that if Cubans in the cities are shot, he will retaliate by shooting Spaniards in the interior of the island. Gomez and Maceo are both in Habana province. The latter moved east after the Candelaria and San Cristobal engagements, crossed the military line south of Guanajay, pass? ed around G?ira de Melena and is near San Felipe Gomez has been a few miles east of San Felipe for sev? eral days. A detached column of rebels moved north and entered Man? agua, 15 miles from Habana, where the volunteers surrendred, joining the invaders with arms and ammunition. ! Other parties came even to the out-1 skirts of Habana, taking the horses of milkrae:; in the Ruburban town of; Guanabacoa, and exchanging shots with the garrison in the blockhouse at Jesus del Monte With Castillo's party of 2,000 from the east and Macao's force from the west, Gomez probably haR 10,000 men : under arms operating in Habana prov- \ ince. Skirmishes between the out- ; posts are of daily occurrence. The Spanish officers of minor grades gen-! erally magnify these into battles, but since the arrival of Weyler tho offi cial reports are much nearer the truth than formerly. Volunteers are being sent from Habana to the field the recruiting of others to take their place is rapidly pushed. Cubans in the city are alarmed over the rumor that Weyler intends to order them tc enlist in the army to show their loyalty. The order forbidding correspond? ents to accompany the column of troops is enforced strictly, making it difficult to obtain reliable news. Very little is given out officially. The American correspondent, Mannix ordered to leave, owing to having publishing obnoxious news, sailed on the Olivette for the United States yesterday. Mannix filed a formal protest with the American consul, Williams. Mannix claims the latter aided the Spanish government more than the American citizens. Wil? liams endeavored to induce Mannix to leave voluntarily. Mannix refused j until served with an official order. Williams then cabled a protest to the Washington 6tate department, which replied that it saw no cause to interfere. Mannix sbojvs the follow? ing copy of an official cable, said to have been sent to the foreign minis? ter at Madrid on Feb. 8 : "Elduayen, Madrid; There ie no American correspondent in jail in Habana, nor has this government threatened any such representatives. There is a party, however, against whom we have received indications that his presence here is prejudical, he having, it is claimed, written ob? noxious news. The matter being laid before the American consul, he suggested and undertook to inform the party that his departure from the island was advisable. No threats were made. The government has acted in full accord with Mr. Wil- i Hams, and as a result the obnoxious party will embark to-morrow volun? tarily and without compulsion on the part of this government, direct or indirect. "By His Excellency "El Secundo Cabo, Suarez Valdez Consul Williams declined to talk, under the rules of his office prohibi? ting the giving of information to the press. Slain With" One Blow. A Twelve Year Old Lad Kills A Playmate. Wheo a 12-year old lad's eDtire life ia blighted and saddened by having taken the life of a human being, that ; lad is an object of pity and sympathy. : Yesterday, however, brought such an event into the life of little 12-year old James Miller, the soo of humble pa-' reots, living in the lower portion of the j city. The a9air is a most unfortunate one in every respect, for a 15-year old : boy was struck over the heart with a small piece of iron and that organ ! stopped forever. The killing caused the greatest excitement imaginable in j the neighborhood of the Congatee mills and much strong feeling exists among the people of that section of Columbia. It will be impossible for anyone to secure a truthful and reliable version of the killing until the facts are clearly brought out at the coroner's inquest to day, which is to be held in the court j house at 12 o'clock. A representative of The State visited the guard bouse during the afternoon, and was kindly allowed to talk with the lad who did the killing, and his story of the affair is given in full below. He id that he was the 12-year old son of r.and Mrs. J. H. Miller. He said that he worked io the Congaree mills along with several sisters and brothers, who supported their parents. A day or two ago, he said, he was playing in company with several little fellows in the factory yards, when two of them gave him occasion to slap their faces. He did so slightly and thought nothing of the matter afterwards, until ? George Dematesl i 15-year old boy, ! approached him and intimated that he j intended to punish bim for slapping the j little fellows. He replied that if Dem i ates was man enough to punish him, he I was able to receive it, whereupon Dem ates replied that he would do so at 12 o'clock yesterday, wheu the factory bands discontinued work for the dioncr hour. Demates, according to young Miller, threatened to cut his throat. At noon yesterday Miller walked out of the factory and met Demates, who asked bim if be was ready to receive his punishment. With Demates were several small boys, one of whom had a knife. These young fellows started to? ward Miller who ran, aod at the corner of the factory he picked up a stout iron roller resembling very closely a dumb? bell. He says be did not use this roll? er theo, but continued running UD til J he had nearly reached home. In the mean? while Demates was following bim and several times threw brickbats, none, however, striking him. When Miller got nearly home he turned and threw tba roller at Dam?tes. The heavy iron weight ftruck the boy just over the heart and he fell to the ground as if killed. Miller says the boy ran fully 25 yards before falling. Mrs. Lizzie Abbitt, a sister of young Demates, gives a different version of the killing. She did not see tho first part of the affair, but says that when she saw Miller coming he had two roll? ers in bis hand. When he reached the corner of thc mill he threw one of them at his pursuer, without effect. Demates followed him, still unarmed, and when Miller had almost reached home he threw the other with great force, and struck the young boy, who immediately fell to the ground, and before his mother could reach him to render any assistance within her power be died. She said that young Miller bad several associates with bim at the time, and that they had threatened to whip Demates. Miller, she said, came from Charleston only a week ago, and the two families lived directly opposite each other Dr. Robert D. Earle happened to be visiting a patient in the vicinity at the time of the killing and be was immedi- j ately summoned to attend the boy. The physician, after a careful examination, j said that death came as a result of par- j alysis of the heart, caused by the thud j of the heavy weight. The boy's body j contained no evidence of a bruise what- j ever. It was impossible to secure a jury for j the coroner's inquest yesterday, and it | was postponed until to-day at 12 o'clock, when it will be held io the court house, j When young Miller was seen at the i guard bouse yesterday afternoon he was lying on the floor of his cell, and at the summons of the police, he came to bis barred doors and talked to the re porter regarding the case in a cool and calm manner. He did not seem at all frightened. When the policemen came to his cell to take him to the scene of the killing and to testify at the inquest, j which they intended to hold yesterday 1 afternoon, he walked steadily out and ! did not seem to appreciate the serious- ! ness of his crime in the least. Several ! reporters accompanied him on his ride through the snow to the factory and he chatted merrily. It was only when the ride was ended and Sheriff Cathcart came out of a nearby bouse to take the lad in to speak before the jury that he ! became frightened. He was 6nally as- ! sured that no one would do him any I bodily harm, which he apparently i feared Dr. Earle in answer to a telephone ' message yesterday afternoon eaid that I it would not be necessary to hold a post ! mortum examination over the boy, as i the cause of his death was plainly ap- j parent.-The State, Feb. 18, The President has pardoned J. J. i Morrison, sentenced in Georgia to 10 years' imprisonment for conspiracy. Fatalities at a Fire. Thirty Young Women Be-j lieved to be Dead. - SEVERAL OTHERS SERIOUSLY j INJURED. TROY, N. Y., Feb. 17.-Fire broke i out in the collar factory of J. Stethei- I mer & Co., River street, this city this ? afternoon. The greatest consternation j prevailed among the 300 girl employees, j Five of the girls jumped from the fourth-story windows. One was caught in a net by the firemen. The other four were killed by the fall. It is be? lieved there are several other girls io the building. The fire at 6.30 o'clock assumed enormous proportions and was beyond the control of the firemen. The furniture warehouse of W. H. Rey? nolds and the Western Union building will be destroyed and the whole block from Broadway to Fulton street, which includes ajlarge number of immense warehouses and stores is probably doomed to be destroyed. The weather is extremely cold and the firemen arc laboring under the greatest difficul? ties. A FURTHER ACCOUNT. The fire started in J. Stetheimer & Co's shirt waist factory and Van Zant & Jacob's collar factory, situated in the same building, at 6*30 o'clock this afternoon. There were 500 girls at work io the establishments. ,;.The flames spread so rapidly that the nar? row stairway, which was the only exit outside of the fire escapes in the rear, I was almost immediately cut off, and ! during the panic that followed five girls I jumped from the windows, three of them to their death, and many others' were injured. Four girls are known to be missiog, but it is believed by everybody, and the proprietors and employees io the shops, that about 20 girls were overcome before they reached the streets and were burned up in the building. People who are familiar with the interior of* the building, and kuow how limited were the means of escape, place the total loss at 30 at least. Io addition to these, nine girls, three firemeo, three policemeo aod ODe citizeo were more or less seriously in? jured by the fire or by falling walls. On girl was driven insane. The sceoe of the catastrophe was at the corner of Broadway and River street, a portion of the city ooted for its immense buildings The structure is known as the Burdette building, is six stories io height aod was occupied by J . Stetheimer & Co., maoufacturers of ladies' shirt waists, whose factory was situated on the fifth floor ; Van j Ziodt & Jacobs, manufacturers of col lars and cuffs, who occupied the three ; floors below the restaurant and saloon on the ground floor. There were also ! minor enterprises carried on in the 1 building. The fire which ended so ; disastrously started in the fifth story ? io the part, occupied by Stetheimer & I Co. ! About 5.25 o'clock this afternoon a ! little boy lighted the gas in the cutting department. Then he threw the match, which was still burning, to the floor, and it ignited a pile of scrap cambric. In an instant there was a crackling of fierce and uncontrollable flames, and the room was filled with smoke. Miss Lillie Krieger, a girl, i2alized the imminence of the peril, ai,d at the risk of her own life rushed through the dif? ferent departments uf the building and warned the employees of the daDger. Nothing but the bravery of a volunteer fireman saved her from death. When the employees In the fifth story realized that the fire was beyond control and was likely to prove disastrous, a sceoe of great panic immediately en? sued. The girls rushed about the room ; some of them found their way down the stairway, others succumbed to the dense smoke and sank in the floor, and some jumped from thc height of the River street windows to the pave- j ment below. About half of the girls j who were employed on the top floor J thought of the fire escape and found their way to the ground in safety. The crush on the stairway was some thing frightful. About 200 men and j girls attempted to make their escape by this exit at the came time. Many were trampled under foot, the ones who were ? in front were knocked from their feet I and thrown to the landings, and some ? are said to have been left unconscious on the stairway. The spread of the flames was re? markable. There was a strong wind blowing, and in less time than it takes to tell it the building was afire from top to bottom. Twenty streams of water | seemed to have no effect, and there was every indication early in the evening that the entire block would be con? sumed. The fire extended into the big structure north, gutting it ; tho Western Union buitdiog was burned out, and it was not until about four hours after the big fire started that is was under coo trol. The loss will probably reach ?400,000. The three meo who were killed by ; jumping from the windows were almost j unrecognizable when picked up, so fearfully ware their beads crushed. Superintendent of Police, Willard, j made a careful investigation this even- ? ing, and reported shortly after midnigh that it is almost certain that 12 girls were burned up in the building. - ? ????? - - Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 12.-Eugene V.

Tennant Dismissed land Bad? ger Appointed. Washington, D. C., February IT.- ! Representative McLaurin called at the postoffice department to day and I recommended the appointment of B. 1 M. Badger as postmaster at Summer? ton, in place of J. E. Tennant, dis? missed. The Summerton case has been pending before the postoffice department since last September, when Mr. McLaurin induced the Postmaster General to withhold the dismissal of Mr. Tennant, who was charged with shortage in his ac? counts. It was represented to Mr. McLaurin that D, E. Keels, clerk to Postmaster Tennant, was the guilty j party, and it was promised that the bondsmen of the postmaster would make good the shortage. The case was held up several times at the in? stance of Mr. McLaurin, but recently he wa6 convinced that the conduct of Mr. Tennant could not be justified, and the postal authorities insisted that Postmaster Tennant should be prosecuted. The investigation by the postoffice inspectors shows that the shortage at ihe Summerton office will reach ?500, and it may swell to $ 1,200 upon closer investigation. It is believed that peculations in the \ office have been going on since the case was reported to the department, ? and Mr. McLaurin upon this showing declined to proceed further in Mr. Tennants behalf. Ile is to be pros-; ecuted to the full extent of the law. ! Mr. McLaurin named as his successo Mr. Badger. Mr McLaurin says he; was misinformed as to the facts in the case by some of the friends of | Mr. Tennant, and in the future he wili decline to intercede for post? masters or other public officers who ! violate their respective trusts. Ile will urge that they be dealt with ac cording to the merits of the case, and if they are guilty of misconduct, in office they must pay the penalty. : He says he was greatly embarrassed j in attempting to justify Mr. Ten- j nant'8 behavior, and he does not in-1 tend to be placed in a similar attitude j again. RUSSIA OBJECTS. Constantinople, Feb. 16 -Miss j White a member of tbe family of the | Rev. G. E. White, an American mis- j sionary at Marsovan, has died from | smallpox. It is reported that Russia alone ob- j jects to the United States having a dis patch boat here. Tho Hon. A. W.

Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 17.-A special to The Advertiser from Tusca j loosa, Ala., says the body of an un- j known white mao was found this morn* I ing at the railroad crossing near Wood-1 stock, this county. He had been ' knocked in the bead, his clothes taken off and his body thrown ic afire. The murder was committed for the purpose of robery, as his pocketbook was found empty near the body. That section j has been overrun with tramps for 6ome I time. The Case of Missionary Knapp. Constantinople, Feb. 17.-The porte j has agroed to comply with the request j made by United States Minister Terrell to suspend action in the case of Mr. i Knapp the American missionary, whose ! arrest upon charges of sedition was re- j < cently attempted at Bitlis, until Mr. ; < Knapp arrives in Constantinople. Mr. Knapp, with his wife aod three other ladies, will leave Bitlis for this city as soon as the snows will permit. PENSION FOR ORPHANS. Mr. Manning Has the Pension Bill Amended in the Interest of the Orphans of Confederate Soldiers. Mr. Thomas E. Richardson wrote to the Sumter delegation in the General Assembly a few days ago in reference to securing pen? sions for destitute orphans of Confederate soldiers ?nd sailor?, and called their atten? tion to the necessity acd humanity of action .eing taken ny the Legislature to provide for these needy children. The following letter ebows ** hat has been accomplished : WAVS AND MEANS COMMITTEE, 1 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, J COLUMBIA. S. C.. February 13tb, 1896. jfr. Thomas E Richardson.

A man named Simmons is said to have declined to become the private secretary of a man named Green for a peculiar reason.
