The Pensioners. The Total Number in Each County Which is Not as Large as Expected. The comptroller general has finished making ont the pension rolls for all the counties. Class **A" will take prece? dence, each member receiving his ?96 per year. Between classes '*B" and '*C" the remainder will be divided so that every member of the '"B"' class will got ?1.50 where the 4*C" pension? ers will get $1. In this way every one in the "B" class will get about ?28.50 per annum, while the "C" class gets about ?19 per year. The appropria? tion was not sufficient to give each mao what the law provided. The total number of pensioners in the different counties are as follows : Sol- Wid diers ows.

Cabea, Crete, July 14.-The Chris? tian delegates in the Cretan assembly here withdrew from that body yester? day, stating that they had resolved, to formulate a declaration setting forth their claims and demands, and to unite in a special assembly from which Turks should be exclndded from membership. The insurgents at Apokorona, a day or two ago killed the crew of a Turkish bark Toe Turkish troops pursued tor insurgents and in their pursuit fired upon everybody they met along the shore making no dis? crimination in favor of women and children, of whom they killed a great many The action of the troops has caused intense excitement and indig nation a.:d the foreign consuls have made a protest against it to Berovitch j Georgi Pasha, the newly appointed j ffovernor of the island. Prof Walker in London. LONDON*, July 13.-At a meeting pf the Bimetallic League held here to day an address was delivered by Prof Francis A Walker, the American political economist and superintend? ent of tin* census of the United States in 1870 and 1880. Prof Walker was cheered as he arose, and was frequently interrupted by bursts nf applause He declared that no gold monometallist party existed in the United States, and that he would stake his honor that if a bimetallic convention was proposed to the United States by the principal sound money men of Europe . he A mrricans would tumble head over li^ls in welcoming the proposal. Senni^r Gray. Prof Walker said, would find very few men to join him in opposi? tion to a proposal for a common ratio batween gold and silver What the ! silverites really desired, be continued, j was silver inflation. Widely separa-1 ted from these meu were the real bimetall?8ts of the United States. Nothing, Prof Walker declared, could be more uufounded than to say that the Republican National Con? vention held in St Louis had pro nounced in favor of gold monometal- j lism Mr McKinley, he said, had never been a gold monometallist ; he could not be one if he tried. He had always been uniformly a bimetal list. The maintenance of a gold standard in the United States was not rendered a whit less secure by reason of anything that was done at the Convention held in Chicago, but | despite much friendly advance from this side of the ocean, the United States were not going to pull other people's chestnuts out of the fire, and would remain devoted to the re? habilitation of silver as a money metal and always ready to make sacrifices to that end. The bonds of the United States, he added, would continue to be paid in gold or its equivalent, and the credit of the United States would continue to be as high as it had ever been since she had triumphantly vindicated her nationality in the war of Seccession. Prof Walker was vociferously cheered as he resumed his seat at the close of his address.

Tne Gold Democrats Will Confine Their Opposition to Electing Sound Mon? ey Congressmen. NEW YORK, July 13.-The demo? cratic gold standard leaders have not yet decided on the date and place of the conference at which, it is expected, a manifesto will be is? sued defining their attitude towards the national ticket nominated at Chicago William C. Whitney is still at his country home on Long Island and Senator Hill had not ar rived in the city up to noon to day. Carlos French, the Connecticua mem? ber of the Democratic national com? mittee, was at Murray Hill Hotel this morning, but he said he was going borne today. He did not know just j when the conference would be held, | but he thought that it would not take place before Wednesdry. Mr French denied emphatically the report that he declared in favor of nominating a third national ticket He said he bad not committed himself one way or the other and would not until the gold standard men had conferred and decided on some course. One of the Tammany leaders said to-day that the conference would probably be held at Long Branch on | Wednesday, and that it would be at tended by Democratic leaders from j New York and several other States From the talk of the Tammany j leaders and the followers of Hill up the State it appesred to day that the organized Democrats are gen? erally opposed to the nomination of a third ticket Some of the Tam ; many men talked of making a cam I paign for the Efryan ticket. Others j said they would vote as they pleased, j but none of them seemed to think j that it would be wise to name a gold standard ticket. Hill and Whitney are believed to be opposed to a bolt and the machine men, in their talk.appear to be reflecting the sentiment of these leaders. According to a statement made this morning by a friend of Mr Whitney the conference ofNew York leaders is likely to result in a deci? sion to ignore the national ticket as far as possible, and call on sound money Democrats to help to elect Congressman opposed to free silver coinage and to join in the effort to carry New York for the Democrat? ic State ticket. By refusing to bolt, it is said, the State organization can maintain its regularity and at the same time work effectively against Bryan and Se wail. The organization men seem to fear that a bolt would result in the establishment of another State organization, which would be recognized as regular by the Demo? cratic national committee and make a great deal of trouble for the pres? ent State leaders THE THIRD TICKET Chicago, July 14 -The gold Democratic organization of illinois will reopen headquarters to-morrow in the Palmer House and the exe cutive committee does not doubt that there will be enough favorable responses to the manifesto issued last night to guarantee a new national convention fairly representative of j the country before the end of Sep ? tember Chairman Robbins admitted i that he had not received any ad ditional telegrams to day from promi tient Democrats offering to support the third ticket proposition, but the assurances he had received led him to expect delegations from eastern and southern States even if the party machinery of the State was opposed to the plan on the supposi? tion that two Democratic tickets would mean the election of McKin? ley rn* --^mmW Another Homicide In Green-1 ville. GKEENVILLE, July 16.-La9t night j about ll o'clock Kinch Styles shot and killed Abner Pearson near Sandy Flat, | about 12 miles north of the city. Both j are young men, friends aod neighbors, j Styles was passing Pearson's house ou j his way home walking A large and vici?os dog belonging to Pear?ou rau j out and attacked Styles, jumping ai bis throat. As the dog snapped at the throat of Styles be drew his pistol and shot the brute. Pearson, who was in bed, heard the shot and howl of the dog, jumped oat of bed. ran out with his pistol in hand, bridled a horse io the yard and rode dafter Styles, and,; overtaking bim, he abused bim for j shooting the dog. Styles offered to pay for the dog, but j Pearsoo refused to hear him and open ed fire on him. After firing two shots | Styles drew his pistol and fired, the shot entering the breast of Pearsou, j who fell from his horse, and after he was OD the ground fired two more shots j at Styles. Pearson died in a few min i utes Styles is now in jail, and will j apply for bail SYDNEY, C.

The hostility of tbe Constitution to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland by the Democratic party in 1892 is well re? member? d. lt was active and earnest in the support of Hon. David B. Hill, believing bim to be a more available man, and end trom whom the party could expect more in maintaining the 8upremancy of Democratic organization than from Mr. Cleveland Tbe Con? stitution lost and Mr. Cleveland was nominated. Early in July, 1892, immediately following Mr Cleveland'.- nomination, Mr Clark Howell, writing bim as a member of the national committee from Georgia, and for the Constitution, ex? tended the assuance that from that time on the Constitution, yieldiung to tbe expressed wishes of the majority of the party, would support him tor elec rion as zealously as it had opposed bim for the nomination From the day of the nomination until the close of the campaign the Constitu? tion led the fight for Democratic success in Georgia and in other Southern States, and the overwhelming majorities re? ceived io every State within the Consti? tution's rctoh, and especially in Georgia, gave at least partial testimony to the ef? fect of its work. Following is the facsimile of Mr. Cleveland's reply, and his essay on the ! "principles of party organization" so j thoroughly fits the situation to-day, that it is presented with the hope that it may be of service now in pointing .-hose Democrats who are inclined to accept the President as their political oracle, to the path of party duty. Followieg is Mr. Cleveland's letter : Gray Gables, Buzzards Bay Mass., July 16, 1892 - Clark Howell, E*q My Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent letter has gratified me exceedingly, lt has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is prevaded with the sort of Demo? cratic frankness which is very pleasing. I think the- underlying principle of parry organization is wbat you so admir? ably express as an acceptance of the arbitrament of tbe oati?oal convention. On the other band it is as folly the duty of one opposed to sbut his mind and heart, tu any feeling of irritation or resentment tbat might be allowed to grow out of opposition, based upon bon? ete judgement and a conscientious de? sire for party success. 1 am not hurpiised, though I am gratified.by tbe announcement that from this time to the close of the campaign your service and the in val?ale influence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fight for Democratic su^ce^. It honestly seems to me that Democrats wbo are not at this time oyal to tba. cause are recreant to their country. Personal advancement of tuan is noth? ing : the triumph rf principies we advo? cate is everything. Hoping that we may congratulate each otberon a glorious result in No? vember. I am, yours sincerely. Grover Cleveland. Maceo Dead PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-Cables reached here to-day from ('nba confirm tbe truth of the story of the killing of General Jose Maceo, brother of General Antonio Maceo, the Cuban insurgent leader From the cablegrams received the killing of Mace?) was nothing more i or less than cold-blooded murder. It. would further appear that a race war bas broken out in the insurgent ranks between the whites and the blacks-, and that, the shooting of Maceo is the first, incident ot this unfortunate conflict. Since the arrival in Cuba of General Calixto Garcia he leader and Maceo hav^ not been friendly. Maceo resented the superior authority conferred upon Gar? cia by the Cubau junta in New York, aod Garcia bas determined to assert his superior rank. When the last, cargo from the filibustering steamer Bermuda was landed Jose Maceo seized all arms and ammunition. Garcia pre? tested against this confiscation. When the last cargo from the steamer Three Friends was landed on the coast otar Jurago, Maceo marched to the seaboard with 150 men and took possesion of the arni* and ammunition. He was am bushed and shot to death by men whom it iv asserted were from bis own army The trouble between the blacks and whites has been further accentuated by the recent shooting by General Gomez after a court martial of Manuel Gonzales, provincial treasurer, bis secretary and severa! subordinares for the alleged shortage of ?15,000 or more in cattle I tax fund>. Gonzales aud other men shot by Gomez were negroes. Endorsed by Populists WASHINGTON, July 14 -Mr. J H. Turner, secretary of the national committee of the Populist party, is? sued a manifesto today advising all Populists to ratify the nomination of Bryan at the Populist convention at St. Louis on July 22nd next In the course of his address he j says: .'The truth of it is that the only j point the Populists now have to de- J eulo is whether or not they will take I Mr. Bryan, whom every gold biitf in j the country has denounced as a Pop j ulist, for our next President (ri the j United States, or whether they will j take Mr McKinley, who represents' everything thal the Populists have denounced and just thc- opposite of everything they have advo cated since they ha\e been a party." Evans in the Sweat Box. He has to Answer Questions That Does not Relish. DUNCAN AND EARLE BOTH AFTSR HIM. LANCASTER, July 15.-The cam paign meeting at Lancaster to-day w?s the liveliest cf the series ; it was something altogether out of the usual run. While there has been considerable crimination and recrimi? nation at previous meeting it was a decidedly more personal meeting than any that has yet occurred. Two years ago at this place there was a sensational and bitter meeting, and to-day there was another such meet ing, but whatever animosity there was was exhibited by the candidates themselves instead of among the auditors. It was here two years ago that the celebrated "Pass No. 1'' came into evidence, or was at least alleged to have beet? shown, and it was here to day that the three Sena? torial candidates first met and, in popular parlance, made the fur fly It was anything but what these meeting are alleged to be- 'educa? tional meetings " It was anything but a meeting that will leave a favor? able impression, and when the good people of Lancaster go home they will begin to ask themselves whether it would not have been better to have remained at home "instead of hearing insiuations and innuendoes, with a brief smattering of national questions Governor Evans, by the questions of his two opponents, was placed on the defensive, and although he tried very hard to avoid making any show of-recognizing these questions and intimations therein contained most of his speech was an effort to eradicate the bad impressions that the questiot 8 and insinuations weie likely to make. Judge Earle had the opening argu? ment, and devoted himself entire'y to a discussion of national issues, which he presented in a forcible manner, and he reserved what inquiries he had to make until Governor Evans got up to speak, and between the questions of Judge Earle and the in? terruptions by Mr. Duncan the forty five minutes' talk of Governor Evans was made quite lively. Judge Earle is evidently paving the way for some? thing to come, but his present ques? tions were : "Whether there has been any meeting of the State board of control during the past year ?" "Whether the policies on the insu? rance property had not been cancell? ed and the most of it placed in the agency of the Governor's brother ?" and "Whether the renewal in Ander? son was not al a higher premium than the original policy that had been can? celled ?" Judge Earle also asked other ques? tions incidental to these. Then Mr Duncan extended the idea that Gov? ernor Evans had used his position to help his family by intimating that after Governor Evans's message, which was specially directed against the Southern Railway, his brother,1 George Evans, went on to Washing? ton with a view to employment as counsel, and that he returned to ! Columbia with the position of coun? sel of I hat system When Governor Evans stated that some insinuation in reference to the bond matter was a lie Mr. Duncan re? plied that no brave men made use of such expressions, especially since he had paid men going around protecting his cowardly bones This reference was supposed to have been meant for Special Officer Newbold, who has been accompanying the party to all the meetings. There was a lively time betweeti Judge Earle and Gov- j ernor Evans, in which both insisted that they were men enough to stand j by whatever they said and assumed j full responsibility for whatever they undertook to be responsible for ? From what occured to-day it appenrs j that from now on Governor Evans , will be forced to answer or ignore intimations about his administration | as well as that of the dispensary. ! As tn the bond matter there was the j customary difference of opinion I Mr. Duncan insisted that the j questions that he had asked had | not been satisfactorily answered ! Col. Larry Gantt was brought j into the discussion, and may j figure later on in the cou-1 tention Anyway, the flatness and ! insipidity of campaign seems io j be about at and end and spirit ie be- ; ing injected inte the Senatorial fight. The people hereabouts are pretty well settled on national issues, j and if may be a good thing that some | light is to be had on State affairs, j about which there is anxiety -News j and Courier Everybody eovies envies Judge j Earle. He ?as golton up on a high nlaoe. It is said to be very cold up i there. Others perspire in these [lower regions along with John Gary Evans I and John T. Duncan.-Charleston : Post The New York Herald's correspond? ent at Chicago says : "The audacity of this young man hus no bounds, and I he proposes to begin thc light right io ! New York Ile told me in St. Louis; :hat, no matter who was named in Chi- , ace, be would like to make his first speech iu Wall street." What Gantt Says. _1 I To the Editor of Tbe ?tate : I see fha* io his sneech at Lancaster, ! Mr. Duncan, candidate for \Jmu-d I States senator, seeks to draw my name j intn bis attack on Govornor Evans. I Now, I wish to say that. T have nevfrr ! seen, nor in any manner coin m anica red ; with Mr. Duncan since the auoounce ? ment nf his candidacy, and even de? clined to reply to a letter he wrote me, as I desired further light on the cam? paign issue? before espousing tho cause of any candidate But when the charges against Gover? nor Evans in connection with the bond sale were first made public, I did SOP Mr. Duncan's i"ather-in law, Secretary of State Tompkins, and who is my per? sonal friend, and after he had told me j that Governor Evans acknowledged to him that be was to receive a fee, I stated that while en route to Greenville, in company with the governor and other gentlemen, the latter afterwards called my attention to a conversation in which Governor Evans said he was going north io a few days tocnlleet a iee for tho bond sale, and he understood him j to say it was to be ?15,000 I was paying but little atteoticn to I the conversation, and while I remember that the bond matter was discussed, have no distinct recollection of what tb?' Governor did say On my recent trip to Chicago I asked Governor Evans about this conversa? tion, and he said be had been misunder? stood, aod no sum was named. It was j clear to my mind that had the governor thought he was doing wrong in taking a fee, it matters not what be the j amount, that be would not have made it a ?opic o! open conversaron I then saw Mr Tompkins, stated to him what Governor Evans had said, and told bim I had no positive recol? lection nf the conversation, and so it w^uld be unnecessary to use it So tar as the senatorial race is oon ! cerned, ? am free to say that I want j nj"re light upon that bond matter, and the people also want more light But from the evidence thus far pro? duced, I do not see that Mr Duncan has made out any case against Governor Evans. When the time comes The Headlight will be heard from iu no un? certain tones, and you may rest assured that this paper will not support, any man wiih tbe slightest blot upon his record. But as to that, I at the same time recounted to Mr. Tompkins a very damaging report against Mr Duncan, and advised that, he clear it up. Respectfully, T. L. Gantt. Spartanburg, S. C., July 16. Scared Out of Their Boots Mr VV J Roddey returned Sun? day from New York, where he spent the last week. He says there is great consternation among the capitalists of the city. They are startled at the au? dacity of the action of the Democrats at Chicago They seem to be more afraid of Tillman and Atgeld than all the other leaders in th?* parly. They are so much frightened that if either should say "Boo I" every capitalist in the great city would dodge They say that Tillman holds the South in thc hollow of his hand and that At geld ia complete master of the entire West and Northwest.-Rock Hill Herald. A Double Tragedy. CHAKLKSTON, July 17.-A terrible tragedy < ccurred on the fishing smack Leonora, lying at Middle Atlantic wharf at 8 o'c'ock this morning. Two Italian sailors, named John Gasparri and John Gonsalvez respectively, be? came involved in a difficulty, which rt resulted in the death of both. Ezact.y how tb >w between the men started, or what it was about, is not known. They were heard to quarrel and a few minutes later. Gasparri came out of tbe cabin and reported that he had killed Goosalvfz. A policeman arrived on the sceue in a few minutes and told Gasparri to come with him. The man said be wtmld do so as soon as be got his bat, and be stepped into the cabin again ostensibly for this purpose After waiting for him to return, the po-j liceman went to tho door and looked in. j He was just in time to see the Italian take a long OHS? kni/e and cut his own j throat from ear ro car The bodies of i both the men were- transferred to the j hospital, where an inquest was held and a verdict rendered iu accordance with these facts X"Ray s Of severest trial and test prove in regard to Hood's Sarsaparilla 1st, Greatest Merit Secured by a peculiar Combina? tion.
