m. JOHN BRATTON. The Gallan* Old Warrior Passes Over the Mystic River, y " v . ;.V. v , SpecUl lo CoforobH Register. ; Winnsboro, S C., Jan. 12.-Gen V- eral John Bratten died at his home at Winnsboro at 9 30 o'clock to night, from a severe attack af heart : tron?le He was recovering from a similar attack a few days previous, and his family boped he would not have a return His son, Rev T. D Bratten, of Spartanburg, was with r him The funeral will take place at Winnsboro on Friday at 10 o'clock io the forenoon. - - Gen. Bratton was one of the most g./.' distinguished gentlemen of the State, ::.. and the descendant of a family that p bas been identified with the develop f menl of South Carolina since i:a r?? ception into the union of the states. From time to time its members have bee? honored by the people with im? portant traste, and during the r?volu t?os none fought more valiantly for the independence of government than they. Col William Bration, the progeni tor of the family in this State, was a Virginian and came to York oo un ty previous to the revolution. He was among the first pupils at Mt. Zion college at Winnsboro. from which he v. graduated. He made that town his home and spent the remainder of his life there. He became a physician. I He was twice married, the first time ? to a daughter of Gen. Winn, and the second to Miss Isabella Means To this latter marriage four, children were born of which the subject of P'. thia sketch was the youngest. He attended Mt Zion and gradu? ated at the Sooth Carolina college. He later graduated io medicine at the medical college ^Charleston and ; practiced his profession in his native county until the outbreak of the war. He enlisted as a private, ? was soon made captain and served in that capacity at the bombardment of Fort Sumter. When his company was called on to enlist in the Confed? erate serv?c? they refused, and Brat ton, with twenty others, enlisted as privates and helped to fill up another company of the Sixth regiment, which did enli?t. The regiment was ordere^ to Virginia. There was some trouble about the re enlistment ; of the regiment, but finally a new battalion was formed which finally become a regiment and he was elect ed the colonel On the battlefield of the Wilder? ness he conducted himself with the greatest valor and brilliancy, and was made brigadier general Gen. Lee "sent a telegram to the war depart ment at Richmond ou the night of the second day's fight, requesting the < immediate promotion and confirma? tion of 4Jol Bratton His request was fully complied with the next day i When Lee surrendered at Appomat ox. Gen Bratton commanded the ; largest brigade of the surrendered ] army. At the close of the war he return-- \ ed to Fairfield and since that time i his history has been coextensive with < that of the state He was elected to ' the stat? senate in I860, and was a i delegate to the taxpayers convention. i In 1876 he was chairman of the state < defpgatrtn to the national democratic ; convention and was for a number of yeats the chairman of the party in '. his county In 1880 be was chair- ? man of the state -democratic execu- < trve committee, and in 1881 he was j elected comptroller general to fill a I vacancy In 1884 he was elected to congress to fill the unexpired term of Congressman Evans deceased.

F??rk ?mitb. Ark , Jan ll.-One of the most destructive storms that evf-r struck this section of the coun? try tore through this city shortly after midnight last night Everything is in confusion as a resnlt of the great destruction of life and property, and it is impossible to give anything Kke aa accurate estimate of the number of killed or injured Fifty persons are reported dead and many more are missing Homes have been wrecked by the score, and hundred of smaller houses have been swelt off the face of the earth by the terrific wind Tb day scores of dead and wound? ed were dragged from the ruins of wrecked buildings, and throngs of people are searching for the dead, and consternation, anguish and de-, .pair is plainly read io the blanched faces of all. The greatest loss was between Eighth street and the Catholic church, and in that locality not a building is left standing. Several brick buildings at Ninth street and Garrison avenue j were crumbled like egg shells, and j as the second stories were used for living purposes, it is thought that there will be found the greatest num? ber of dead. But little effort has been made to search the ruins of the residence portion of the city that was io the storm's path. Amid the horrors of crashing buildings, the roar of the storm and the cries of the wounded, fire broke i out in a number of places, and the department was unable to cope with the new danger, and it is known that a dozen or more bodies were ere mated. The storm came np suddenly from the southwest, striking the city at 11.15 o'clock p m , and in almost the twinkling of an eye a large por tion of the ?city was in ruins Every physician in the city was summoned and all are now busy at work dress ? ing the wounds and binding up brok? en limbs. The dead are taken to the most convenient places and left with the living, the searchers returning in quest of other bodies After leaving Fort Smith, the storm traveled to the southeast, and while re? ports are meagre from the country, sev? eral fires have seen burning along in its wake, and the town of Alma, nine miles to the southeast, reports several houses blown down and it is thought several have been killed there. Hundred* of persons have been in? jured, some fatally and others badly The damage to property will roo into the thousands of dollars, as many fine residences were razed to the ground CONDITION OP POOR PEO? PLE OP CUBA. Washington, Jan. . 13 -United States Consul General Lee has re? ported to the .state department from Havana, under date of yesterday, the facts connected with rioting there yesterday. While the state depart? ment officials do not divulge the text of the dispatch, it is said they cor? roborate the news that at 10 o'clock yesterday morning about. 100 army officers, incensed by the violent at? tacks made by some of the local pa pers on the general in chief and thc principal officers of the Spanish army in Cuba, went to the/ printing offices of the offending journals and began smashing the windows and destroy? ing the printing outfits, as well as cuffing the employes. A mob of thousands followed, shooting, "Long live Spain," "Long live the army/' "Long live the volunteers." The riot? ers were finally dispersed by the gen dannie. According to General Lee's report, the disturbance has been quelled, for the time being, but he was apprehen sive of another outbreak at any mo? ment. Nothing has been heard >from he consul general to day, so it isVs sumed at the state department that the situation remaius unchanged in Havana. < General Lee did not ask to have a warship sent to Havana, and in the 1 opinion of the state department offi cia I s that is a sufficient reason for the assumption that there is no occasion for sending one? The officials are 1 evidently not apprehensive of any ! trouble in the immediate future that 1 will require the forcible intervention 1 of our government. The disquieting feature of the situ- 1 ation is the horrible condition of the 1 poor in Cuba. According to General 1 Lee's advices, no less than 200,000 1 people on the island are in the last 1 stages of destitution sud are wholly 1 dependent upon charity To feed ! these people on a ten cent ration a 1 day would cost ?20,000 daily, which I Rum is double the amount so far re ' ceived in contributions during the * past ten day? by the state depart ' ment. In the opinion of General Lee. no less than 20 per cent, of these 1 poor people are teally doomed to ; death from starvation and disease Fn such a state of affaire the exis? tence of any form of organized gov- * ernment commands little attention -ti al- ' A. Bill to Keep Children in Door8 at Night. A curfew Kw was introduced to the ' generali assembly on Thursday. What ibey will do with it ?3 conjectural, of course. It may remember its excellent ' results io some Western towns and pass it ; they may think it an infringement upon personal liberties of the citizens ' and file it in the yaller dog hill box The bill was drawn in (he superio dent's office, where it should have been. It is aa educational matter, hepkicg to build a bel?ge on the opposite side to * the path that the educational depart? ment has solong been Fe king to open to the children ?;f the ?ta??* The ?nao?ii g words of thc bill reads as foiluws : That authorities of rach village, town and city in thin state be and are hereby authorized to pas? an ordinance requiring all persons under fifteen years of a?o, unless attended by an adult, oe provided with 8 permit, to absent themselves from the streets of such vil? lage, town, or city by such times at night as they may fix or be subject to such punishment as they may prescribe. This leaves the city councils plenty of latitude to pass or not pass. They may fix a time to be indoor? soon or late The discretion in punishment, limited of course by their conferred power, is in their hands. It barely more than calls attention to an author? ized method of promoting good cooduot ia the towna and cities A Greenwood man contributes this stcry to carrent small pox literature In 1867 bis family lived in Edgefield District, A 3 tr ay cat came to his house, broken out with postules and in a short while bis family took smallpox He is sure that the cat brcnght them the dif eise, as they had no other opportunity to contract it. j The Legislature. -__ The House Went ail the Way Througb its Long Calendar.

Everything went along smoothly-as smoothly as if nearly a year had not elapsed Knee the last session was adjourned. The members showed tbat they were entirely familiar with the brought-over bills Tbe house had hardly met at 10 o'clock before it tackled the heavy calendar of 64 bills. Before the body left off it weo/entirrly through the calendar.

Mr. Haselden's bill to equalize the railroad fares of tbe students of the Winthrop college wa9 killed after brief debate The last measure on the calendar was Mr. Pol? lock's joint resolution, introduced on the opening day, to exteod the time for the payment of taxes to Feb 20 ; there was a lively debate over it, but the bouse by a large vote declared in favor of it and ordered it to a third reading. Mr Mishoe withdrew bis marriage license bill; Mr. MoWhite hi* dispen? sary proit bill ; Mr. de Loach bis .bill to .allow the borrowiog of money in York county, and thus a number of other bills were disposed of. Mr. Thomas1 alien ownership of land bili was killed as was Mr Lancaster's bill to create the office of State geologist, Mr. Cushman's bill to prevent railroad companies from employing night opera? tors under 18 year of age and the same gentleman'^ bill to regulate the speed of railroad trains pushing certain sta? tions Tbe house amended the senate r?so? lution fixing tbe time for the judicial elections so as to have tbe elections on Tuesday, nest, instead of Monday, to have nominations without speeches and to have the election for chief justice come Us.;.

January 14. The house di^ net accomplish as much yesterday as it did ou the sec oud day of the session, but it put in a hard day's work, and among other things passed the committee's sub 8titute to the Reynolds' public print? ing bill, which provides that the con? tract for the State printing shall go to the lowest bidder Some amend? ments W2ie made enabling the gen ! eral assembly to award the contract j for the next two years at the present : eession There was quite a fight j over the bill of Mr. O P Goodwyn directed against all kinds of labor on ! Sunday. When it was shown that ; servants could not be reqoired under the bill to woik in the household on Sundays the bill was kilhd There was quite a lively racket on the third reading over the joint resolution pro? viding for the extension of the tim? ofr the payment of taxes. It did not amount to much in the end, however, for the house passed the measure and ordered it sent to the senate There were quite a number of new bills introduced, among them being Mr W. S Smith's bili to repeal the metropolitan police act and Mr. Rey? nold's bill to provide for the reorgan? ization of the engrossing department The last hour of the day's proceed ings were devoted the memorial ad dresses upon the late PX Governor Gen Johnson Hagood.

Dorn Mine to be Worked Again. The old Dorn gold mine, at Mc Cormick, which in now owned by the McCormick family, of Chicago, is to be worked again The mine has been leased by a company of northern capitalists, who have been prospecting on the pro? perty for several months They are so well pleased with the ore they have taken out that they have order? ed a lot of machinery and work wil! commence on an extensive scale as soon as the machinery arrives and can be put up They have a five year lease on the property. The Dorn mine was at one time the most valuable gold mine in the South Overa million dollars' worth of gold has been taken from its veins Be fore the war William Dorn, ihe then owner and the discoverer, was offer ed $1,500,000, but refused it Ile held out for $2,0(M>.Q00 Mr Dorn lost heavily by the war, and a few years later became so heavily involved in debt that he was forced to sell the mine at ? great sacrifice, and when he died was really a poor man. One of bis sons is now driving a dray for the State dispensary at Columbia Afer the mine passed into the hands of the McCormick family it wa? worked for several years, but waa abandoned about 1S67 on account of the difficulty experienced in separat? ing the gold from the sulphurets and and in keeping the deep bhafts and tunnels of the mine free from water Great improvements have been made, however, in raining machinery in the past twenty years, as in everything else and thr$e difficulties can easily be, overcome The old miners arouud McCormick are confident that the mine-*can be made to pay as well as in former yeats, and the lesses seem to have confidence in it. too, as they are spending a lot of money on machinery to begin operations wjth. -Greeewood Index Will Resume Practice.
