BOOTY L?ST IN GAMBLING ROOMS. SAD STORY OP A YOUNG HAN. The State OD last Saturday contained somewhat a mysterious account of a young ma? who was taken io haod bj the police of Columbia on Thursday night before. He bad been drinking heavily, aod was endeavoring to commit suicide wi h laudanum - He had been spending money lavishty. and on his person several large checks, aggre? gating over $4,000, were found. The following sequel to the story esme out in Saturday's State : When the young mao referred to in The State yesterday morning recovered his senses during the forenoon tbs mystery of the appearance on his person of the three checks, aggregating in valwe shoat $4,000, was solved He gave the ezpiauatioa by making a clean breast of everything leading to his downfall sod attempt at suicide, and revealed the fact that he bad taken the checks sud $1.800 io easb beside fr em the Southern Express Company's office in Charlotte, N. C The story also showed that tbe case was one of the saddest ones that *e ver occurred io the Sooth. It told of the leading astray of a most worthy young mao by evil associates, the quick step to drunken ness, the entering of gambling rooms, leading on to the dolling of his moral sense, then robbery and, finally, when the inst card had been played, to tbe attempt st self destruction. Indeed the -story, told with frankness and with true remorse, was one more calculated to excite the pity rather than the resent? ment of fellow men. sod to awaken the ? pu bl io feo s sense of its duty toward th oser who are liable to yield tb such temptation The yoong mon proved to be, as be had registered, Money Order Clerk Myers," of Charlotte'. He frankly related the whole story, snd ts so over coco by tho realization of what he bas dwan that be is still quite siek io his room, and officers are with bim to prevent soy firtber attempt st suicide. The yoong man is only about 28 years ol? age He was in Colombia as money order olerk for about a year and so won the esteem oF the officials hy his scrupulously oorreet work that ; ho wast promoted, and gi veo the posi? tion of money order clerk io Charlotte. Ie made a Soe record there and stood sigh with his superiors. Some time io kevern ber be Strock Op with a fast set and began to drink and gamble oo the e^eiet. Time wore on, and on the night ef December 3d, a Southern Railway remittance came io from Union. He took the package and the way biil ; the next night another package came from the sams point. These packages con? tained, 009, two checks and the other ese, nod both bad oasb io them aggregating $1 OOO He knew it was the holiday ru?b season and be could not be checked up for some days On the 5*b be voluntarily resigned hip posttioa. 5**?2? he began to plunge, it seems, j for a few days in Charlotte, and lost 1 about $200 gasobliog, according to his j swa story. Theo he oaoo to Coiembia i and lost some more money here. In a few days he weet to his home io sooth? er part of tho State to spend Chri^-na?. He kept the checks and package?, the latter being intact eave for the broken seals. He bad them in bis valise He says that upon sobering up he realized what bo had done, and his idea then was to get here, wio enough money to replace tbe cash and take the package? back to ?he express eompaoy He Strock Colombia's gambling booses and dollar after dollar went Early Thurs day morning he found himself, crazed with drink, with only $15 left He went to the hotel bnt was urged by bis "gambler friends to go out aod start again eJ! the time, to tbs very last it seems, he hoped te win back the money. Shortly before the two gentle men referred to yesterday interested themselves in his sad condition leading to the noezpeoted discovery of the "theft, tbe yosug man had gotten back to tho hotel with only 45 ces of the original $1,800, and the bottle lauda? num with which he intended to *nd his life He bielteve* that he lost in this city ne lees than $1.600 of the stolen money The Southern Express Comp&ij lose? nothing, as the young mid had a bo:c in a surety company which eovere the j loss Tte express company will DOT prosecute in the circcrnstacces ot tbs oase. It is the firs: robbery of the kind j that the company hos bad io a long time, and in no event coo'd any loss have O2osrred to the shippers or lie company, a* discovery sod capture were inevitable. A representative of th? sorety com? pany is now on the way here, a? d it is not knows whether prosecution will follow or not. While no formal arrest bas been made, the young man is guarded by an officer in bb room at the hotel to keop bim from destroying him? self and bis papers and the checks are in Ihe hotei safe. It ie truly a sad, sad etory-one carrying with it lessons aiike :o way? ward young men, the public and puolio officials. Thc noezpeoted discovery cf the checks* io the mauner heretofore described makes tho oas-e one of tbe most remcrkabio and peculiar ones ever chronicled io real life or fio:ion. No Arrest Yet, From The State, D?o 3K Though the representative of tho surety company giving the bond for young Myers arrived here yesterday, there has been no formal arrest. This representative is consulting snd looking most carefully into the case. Io the meantime the yoong mao, whose down? fall has been described sufficiently, is { still in his room a] the Columbia hotel, j ander the sarveillaooe of the police ciS cer detailed to see that h? does not oom mit suicide. The sad story was mach talked of yesterday At II 30 last bight it ras anocaooed that tba yoong mao was to be taken to Sumter this morning by Speeiai Agent Hassell of tho surety company. Other ruooey located shows that the actual amount missing is only about ?1,400 Mr Myers has retained Mr Jao T i Seibles as his attorney. The object in taking him to Samter is to allow bim to ?raake good the amount taken. In view of the pitiable circumstances cf j the case, it is believed that the surety i oompaay will act very mach as the Southern Express Company has done, ? and the yoong mao will bo given an opportunity to make a fresh start in life. Many who have discussed the ease hope that each will be the outcome. Demand for Investigation of Dispensary Robbery. Sioee the big robbery of the dispeo sary at Kiogstree. a fall story of which has appeared ia The State, the gover nor bas received a number of telegrams and communications calling apon him to deal summeri.y with the dispenser and the eoanty board. Yesterday be said that all he could do was to offer a reward for tba capture and conviction of the robber or robbers This he did io the sam of $200 He states that the dispensary law provides that the county board most be appointed by the State board apon the recommendation of the legislative delegation, and he merely is authorised to go throogb the form of signing the commissions without ques? tion He gays the law gives no power whatever over these officials. The governor reoeived the following telegram yesterday : Kingstree, Deo 29-Don't allow old board here to take action an til yoa can have it investigated thoroughly and appoint new county board ; the people demand it. W H. Kennedy, Intendant. Mr. Geo Barr wired on Friday to the governor: "See my letter of to? day -Stanseli and Wesley have ar? rived." Mr. Barr's letter reads as follows : Kiogstree's S. C .

Three Men Killed in Abbeville. ONE BEING SHERIFF JUST SWORN IN. Greenwood, Dec 30-At Abbe ville last night; as a result of a druukeo man's spleen and malice, three men were killed, one of whom was the sheriff bf the county The story ot the triple tragedy sounds moro like an account of au occurrence in some western border town than anything that bas occurred in South Carolina within recent years. About 9 o'clock last night io the office of the Miller hotel, several gentlemen were baviug a social game of cards One of the * players was William Kyle, a northerner, who has been superintending the building of the addition to the Abbe? ville cotton mill: While the game was in progress John Dansby, a somewhat notorious character, enter ed the room Ile was drinking and in a quarrelsome mood It is said that be bad a difficulty with Kyle in the afternoon In a few moments Dansby managed to hare some words with Kyle and applied a vile epithet to bim KYLE REMONSTRATED According to the story of witness? es. Kyle got up from bis chair and remonstrated with Dansby. but with? out making any demonstration of violence, Dansby drew bis pistai, a 45 calibre Colts, and when a by? stander grabbed bis arm he quickly changed the gun to the other hand and fired, the ball striking Kyle io the abdomen. The shooting occurred so quickly that those present hardly realized who bad happened DANSBY DEFIANT. Dansby then backed out of tbe room, declaring be would ?hoot any man who attempted to stop him, and started to the homo of bis father in law, Tom Cresswell, who lives near the cotton mill. The news of the shooting quickly spread, and Policemen Johnson and O'Brien started in pursuit of the murderer. They overtook him ?esr Cresswell'* house, but Dansby stop? ped them with his pistol and said he wonld shoot if they sdvsnced. The police then went to s nearby honse and telephoned up* town for assist once. Ins short time Sheriff R L Ken nedy with several citizens responded to the summons Tbey surrounded the boase, tho policemen being stationed at the windows and Ken? nedy going to the front door. Ken nedy called to Dansby to come out and surrender. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER Dansby cerne out, closing the door behind him, and with the remark "Well, we'll, goto bell together," commenced firing Dansby was shot twice, once in the leg and once full in the chest Kennedy was struck once in the left breast near tba heart Both m-n emptied their pistols Kennedy foil as* soon as he was hit, but Dansby walked some 50 steps and waa reloading his pistol v*heu one cf the policemen ran up and grabbed him, end took the gun out of hi* hand Several others o? the parly were firing at Dinghy at the time and there is nome uncertainty &s to who fired the ?hots that struck him, but it is thought that they \*ere fired by Kenned* Handcuffs were placed on Dau?by and he was carried to the jai!, but died soon after reaching there, about an hour after the abcoting He did not speak after being shot Kennedy waa carried to the jail and expired within a few minutes after Dansby, Kyle, who wa3 first shot, lived until 2 o'clock today, wheo be breathed his last. This, in brief, is th? story of tho The coroner today held sn inquest and the jary returned a formal verdict in accordance witn the facts HAD KILLED OTHERS bloodiest tragedy Abbeville county has ever known.

He was a j man without regard or respect for i himself, and naturally cared nothing I for his own life or the life of others He had long been a terror to many j who knew him There are no tears being shed on his account, but the regret that Sheriff Kennedy lost his life io the attempt to arrest such a man cannot be expressed A. M. C. CHINA ACCEPTED TERMS OF POWERS. Pokin, Deo 30 -The Chinese pleni? potentiaries have been un expectedly or? dered to sign the preliminary joint note and have no^ifiek the foreign envoys to that effect. ; The Chinese themselves were greatly astonished st receiving the imperial in? structions. Neither Li Hong Cbatg nor Prince-Ching had expected sooce i in porsaadicg the ooort under 10 days. The emperor's instructions are to agree folly to the oote, bat to endeavor to get tbo best terms possible, parti? alariy io the matter of limiting tba number of legation gaards and also as to tho placee where these are to be located. The plenipotentiaries are iostrocted to ecdeavor to limit the number of army posts along the line of railway to as few as possible and finally tc request the the powers oot to destroy the torts, bot merely to disarm them.
