Mayor Bossard refused to grant per? mission for the bose wagons to race on tbe streets as ibe cou o ci! is opposed to needless ronni* g of tbe teams on tbe principal thoroognfares.

It begins to look as if tbe evidence against George Eliiott and Wallace Brown is becom ! i og stronger, and there seems to be more rea I soo for the belief that they murdered Mingo ! Thompson. The latest information is fur? nished by Mr. J. M Reames. On Saturday night he was retuning home from this city j in company with bis wife, and when be ar ; rived at tbe place where thc dead body of ! Mingo Tfcompson was found next morning be ! passed a wagon turned half around in the ! road. His horse shied as be passed the wagoo \ sod caused him to observe it more particular? ly than be would bave doue otherwise. Two negro men were standing in the road by tbe side of tbs wagon, and they were dressed as Elliott and Brown were proven at the inquest to have been dressed on Saturday night. Sheriff Pierson arrested Jake Jackson on Friday in consequence of information lodged with him o the effect that Jtckson had made statements that be knew wbo killed Mineo Tboropsoo He was taken before Magistrate Welts next morning and ?-xamir.ed. He de? nied making the statements attributed to bim and claimed to know nothing of the murder except what bad been told him. He made certain statements wbile under examination, however, ?har were known to be false, and be was remanded to j-u! until additional inform? ation can be secured tn respect to th? state? ments he has made.

One Hundred Men Start to This / City for the Purpose of Lynch? ing Charles Williams Wheo W J Lee was brutally murdered by Charle? Williams nu the night of NOT. 22d, there wa? some talk of lynching the morder??, bet Magistrate Scarborough, who held the inquest, hurried him to this city and turned bim over to Sheriff Pierson for safe keeping in the jail Since that time rumors bare beer* sfioftt that there existed a desire in some qcar? ters to take tbe law into the bands of a mob and dispose of Williams in a summary man? ner. Not much attention was paid to the ru? mors, as it was not thought probable that auy crowd of men would be so rash as to make tbe attempt to take Williams from the jail. On Saturday nigbt Sher:ff Pierson received tbe following telegram : Bisbopville, NOT 27 -Crowd hts jon left here to lynch Charlie Williams. JAS. H SCARBOROUGH, Magistrate. The telegram was placed in Sheriff Pierson's hands at 8 SO p. m , and he decided that the best thing to be dooe nuder tbe circumstances would be to take Williams to Columbia on the 9.10 train. To get the prisoner from the the jail to the depot in time to take tbe train required quick work, hut it was accomplished. Williams is now in tbe Richland county jail where he will be kept until there is no dan? ger frr>m the .yncbers. Nothing was heard of the lynching crowd on Saturday nigbt and it was thought that they had abandoned the purpose, bot Sunday Dich? a crowd of about one hundred men assembled near DesCbamps' mill pond and Bent ei:c men into town to re? connoitre These mea learned that Williams had been sent to Colombia, and wheo they teported this fact the crowd dispersed. It is stated by those who claim to b^ve reliable information ?bat the rnnjority of ?be crowd o' would be lynchers came from the eastern and sooth eastern portion of th s county and from Clarendon and Williamsburg counties and that very few of them were from the Bishop Tille section. This statement may or msy not be correct, but there is no doubt about tbe crowd baring come to the vicinity of thia city with the ?vowed intention of storming tbej*il and lynching Williams, and only the timt-ly warning given Capt Pierson by Magis? trate Scarborough nrevented serions trouble, fur Williams would not have bean surren? dered to the mob withDTt a struggle.
