ST. JOSEPH'S COMMENCEMENT. Interesting Exercises at ihe Close of the 38th Year. The 3Sth annual commencement of St. Joseph's Academy '.vas held in the Opera House last Thursday evening, there being a large audience present, in which were a number of the clergy and many of the friends, patrons and graduates of the institution from other towns and cities. The exercises were interesting from Srst to last and were throughout of j that high order of excellence that has ever characterized St. Joseph's Acad? emy in all its work and for which it has always been esteemed as a model institution for the education of girls and young ladies. The music, both instrumental and vocal, was particularly good and the young ladies acquitted themselves SQ, creditably of their difficult tasks that they more than merited the liberal applause given them by the audience, and the many beautiful floral offer . ings that they received from their friends and admirers. Miss Sara Beesley was the salutato rian of the class and she discharged the pleasing duty of welcoming the large and interested audience most gracefully. The Valedictory was delivered by Miss Pauline Jarecky the subject of her essay being "The Light of Other Days." The essay was marked by thought, happy phrasing and clear for? cible English, while the delivery was all that the most exacting teacher in elocution could have wished, and teachers of the Valedictorian have reason to be not only satisfied with but proud of their pupil. There were but three young ladies in the graduating class, Misses Jessie Blitch, Pauline Jarecky and Sara Beesley, Miss Blitch having attained the highest percentage in scholarship was awarded the class medal. The following medals were also awarded : Amiable Deportment-A gold medal v donated by Rev. A. J. McNeill, Miss Marie Cobb. A gold medal donated by Rev. D. J. Berberick, Miss Annie Bawls. Politeness-A gold medal, Miss Jes? sie Gibson. A gold medal donated by Rev. J. D. Berberick, Miss Daisy Dixon. Hygiene-A gold medal donated by Dr. Van Telburg-Hofman, Miss Jes? sie Blitch.

Serious Fire Prevented by Good Work of Fire Department. At 10.45 o'clock last Wednesday night Policeman McKagen noticed smoke issuing from Frank B. Grier's Racket Store on the corner of Main and Republican Streets. Making a hurried investigation, he ascertained that the store" was burning on the inside and he then gave the alarm. The fire department was on the ground within a few minutes, and by quick, systematic and intelligent work the fire *was soon gotten under control and what threatened to be a serious and costly fire in the heart of the busi? ness part of the city was nipped in the bud. The fire was fought from all sides and from the roof. The fire start? ed near the floor on the side of the store adjoining L. W. Jenkins _ store. When the fire was discovered it had extended to the shelving, up to the ceiling and was burning in the ceil? ing under the roof. The firemen soon located the fire under the roof and cutting holes through the tin poured a stream on the fire. The flames were kept from spreading and were soon extinguished. The fire within the store was also quickly extinguiished. The stock of goods was badly damag? ed by smoke and water and a portion of it was burned. Mr. L. W. Jenkins, next door suf? fered considerable loss from smoke and water damage, the two stores being under one roof. Mr. Grier values his stock?t 810, 000 and had it insured for 85,500. Mr. Jenkins values his stock at 87,000 and it was insured for 82,900. The build? ing is the property of Capt. John Reid. The damage to the building is fully covered bv insurance.

The warm weather of the last few days seems to have been instantly felt by" the natatorium, as was evidenced by the full appearance of the register. "This book looks like you have been doing a good business Mr. Sanders. ' ' "Yes sir, the warm weather is run? ning them down to beat the band. All during the cool weather I had a snap though, read dime novels to a finish, but gee whiskers ! yesterday and to? day, they haven't given me time to eat my meals." In a talk on the street with the manager this morning, we learned that the installation of a swimming professor is to take place in the imme? diate future-probably by next Mon? day. This will be a fine thing and one especially appreciated by the ladies who have been for some time asking for one. Mr. Winburn, the photographer, was at the natatorium this morning when we arrived there. He is making vari? ous inside views and outside for the purpose of sending them to New York city. There cuts will be made from them and the cuts will be printed in the shape of a little 8-page booklet and in that shape they will be distri? buted as an advertisement.. It will be something neat and elegant. The Telephone to Camden. The South Carolina Telephone Com? pany is fast completing its line of long distance wires from Camden to Colum? bia. The poles are up as far as Blainey, S. C., about twenty miles north of Columbia. It is claimed that connection will be perfected with? in the next two weeks. WRECK AT EAST0VER. Trains Delayed Last Night and Today. A freight train loaded with rock was .wrecked near Eastover in the early part of last night and blocked the track. The passenger train passing this city at 9.15 p. m. could not go through ^ to Columbia last night nor could this morning?s passenger due at 8 o'clock come through from Colum? bia. The train last night was held up at Eastover and the passengers and mails were transferred. The passen? gers and mail on the morning train from Columbia were transferred and the delayed last night's train backed in to this city more than an hour later than the regular morning schedule. The Charleston-Columbia train No. 52 was sent through to Columbia this morning over the Southern Railway. The extent of the damage resulting from the wreck at Eastover is not known, but there is no report that any of the train hands were killed or in? jured.

The situation is regarded seri ously here.as Denmark cannot dream of undertaking th?' erection of fortifi? cations and the maintenance <>f garri? sons which would cost several mil? lions. BIG FIRE IN GREENVILLE. Said to be the Most Disastrous in its History. Greenville, June IS.-The most dis? astrous fire that has ever occurred in Greenville started at 11.55 'this morn? ing. A conservative estimate of the loss is 8125.000. eight of the most prom? inent stores in the city, located in North Main street, having been total? ly destroyed. At half-past 2, after an hour of fierce burning, it was feared that the fire would leap across the cor? ner of Washington and Main and be? gin on a fresh block, either with Lewis ? Hartzog's building or the Windsor Hotel. It was reported at that hour that an offer had been made by the Southern Railway to take a car to Spartanburg and bring back as many fire companies as could be obtained, but this offer was declined. It looked then as if there was danger of destruc? tion of the entire business section of the city. The roof of the Beattie building had crashed four stories to the basement, through a vortex of flame, and the sparks had been sent showering over the buildings. The Greenville Light Infantry was called out at 1 o'clock, for the stocks of jewellers, haberdash? ers and other merchants were being stacked in the streets and a great crowd of all sorts and conditions of men was gathering. Every policeman in the city was on duty, but these were not enough to handle the crowd and protect the goods from sneak thieves. The soldier boys were put on duty in side arms and with bayonets fixed and were assigned posts through the burning district. CROSS-BRED FOWLS. A correspondent makes inquiry as to the advisability of crossing white Leghorns and light Brahmas. This is a cross that I have never tried, but it ought to be a good one, as the two breeds are alike in color of legs, skin, etc., both being of the de : sirable yellow tinge. They also har? monize to a good extent in color; but not in the color of their eggs, as the light Brahma lays a deep yellow-color? ed egg, and the Leghorn a white shelled one. This is a minor differ? ence, however, of no special conse? quence. The females of such a cross would doubtless be nice, plump fowls, of the Plymouth Rock type, and most excel? lent layers. Taken as a whole, the cross bred fowl would.be a better all round chicken than the thoroughbred of either variety from which it should come. The Brahma is rather too tall and sinewy, and the white leghorn too small for the table, where weight is desired, together with plenty of breast meat. The chicken bred from the two would doubtless be a good medium, where the parent stock is radically deficient. I have tried the partridge Cochin brown Leghorn cross with satisfactory results. But the progeny, after all, was just what the Brahma-Leghorn cross would be-a mongrel outside the pale of the standard of perfection. So, the question naturally arises, why cross-breed any thoroughbred varie? ties? For we have them now bred down to most any type desired. In the Ply? mouth Rock and the Wyandotte classes we have in an advanced state of perfec? tion varieties that breed true to color, and possess at the same time the meaty qualities that one might obtain from the crosses mentioned in the forego? ing: while the breeder would,, in breeding the standard breeds, be within the scope of the standard and so have the double advantage of good table fowls that are at the same time thoroughbred, and hence worth much more than the cross-breeds. Crossing pure-bred males on common hsne is advisable, because the breeder by so doing gains much and loses noth? ing. The common flock may be ad? vanced both in table and laying quali? ties by so doing: The mere introduc? tion of new blood is of itself advan? tageous. While a fixed type and simi? lar characteristics may be attained by the selection of a rooster of the same variety for two or three years in suc? cession. Thus, any common flock may be bred up pretty close to the Leg? horn, or the Brahma, Plymouth Rock, or any pother standard variety by this system. But in cross-breeding thoroughbred classes of distinct type there is noth? ing in it but "projecting" so far as I can see it-H. B. Geer in Southern Cultivator. SUICIDE IN COLUMBIA. Mr. J. Frank Clyburn, of Lancas? ter, who has been in business here for nearly a year and a half, commit? ted suicide early yesterday morning, selecting as the place Elmwood ceme? tery. There were no witnesses to the shooting. The coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death by a pistol shot from his own hands, and assigned as the supposed cause melancholia. Such are the cold facts in one of the saddest tragedies that Columbia has had for a long time-a young man of promi? nent family suddenly bringing his promising life to a close, apparently after due deliberation..-The State June 22.

Fla., June IS.-Judging j from the present prospects, there will I soon be almost as much excitement in the lower part of Florida as eixsts in Texas. Within the last few days the reported discovery of oil around With lacoochee, about "fifty milos from this city, has developed into a positive fact. The section is thronged with pros? pectors who are locating all possible tracts of land where a "gusher" might be bored and buying options at fabulous figures. And there are still more prospects of some persons "striking ile," and that almost within the limits of the city. Places have already been located where bodies of water are thoroughly impregnated with petroleum, so much so that animals will not drink the wa [ ter, cloths have been dipped in the water and wrang out and oil of con? siderable quantity detected by igni? tion. This has caused still more inve tigations to be made, and the re? sult will soon be some very important announcements. In almost the same territory there will soon be announcements made of large iron ore beds. One place has already been located with an area of 18x12 miles which is declared to be a bed of the finest ore from which Bes? semer steel is made. Land almost within the city limits of Tampa is now known to be impreg? nated with iron ore, where it is found upon the top of the ground in consid? erable quantities. These iron and oil discoveries have been kept a profound secret, and only made known by an accident on the part of the writer, who stumbled upon the news in an unexpected manner. While the oil discoveries may cause great surprise, yet the discovery of iron will not be quite so much of a surprise. It is a well known fact that during the civil war iron was mined in Florida, from which the Confeder? ate government made many of its shells and munitions of war- The ore which has been located this time is believed to be the outcropping of the same vein, and is thought to exist in largely paying quantities. Capital will be at once interested in the development of these iron and oil discoveries. There is no doubt about the existence of these things although many will perhaps scoff at the idea and "feel that it is a great joke to hear of such things coming from Florida. The State is already rich in phos? phate mines. Fuller's earth and many other valuable clays, and there is no reason why iron and oil should not be added to the products of this most wonderful State. It is expected that development in j oil and such matters will begin in a short time and that there will be great excitement over the development of both. The Withlacoochee developments are considered splendid so ,far and new ones will be in keeping with the best that has been announced from any sec? tion. How British Soldiers Fight. Washington, June 21.-Capt. S L. H. Slocum, Eighth cavalry, who was military attache with the British army during the early part of the Boer war, has made his report to the war department. At the time of the British defet at Colenso, December 25. 1899, Capt. Slocum said he con? sidered the situation of the British most critical. They had been defeat? ed all along the line, and had the Boers assumed offensive operations the English army with long and thinly guarded line would have been placed in great jeopardy. Capt. Slocum also was with Lord Roberts, and describes in detail the movement toward Kimberley. He says that Roberts was confronted with a crisis which would have staggered and been the undoing of many com? manders-in-chief. His advance to Kimberley and beyond was successful? ly carried out and the surrender of Gen. Cronje changed the situation and relieved the critical position of the British army. Speaking of the Boers. Capt. Slocum says they were splendid on the defen? sive but did not consider offensive movements as part of their proper tac? tics. He speaks of the British people as a nation exemplifying the phrase "brave to a fault," and adds: "If they were less brave, there would have been many less faults and more victories in this war. Caution they have not, but just bunt ahead, and* take the consequences. Lord Rob? erts is a shining and glaring excep? tion to this rule, All in all, I con? sider him to be remarkable man and general. He says the English artillery had tremendous preponderance over that of the Boers, who rarely ever used their artillery. Capt. Slocum says smokeless power enables an army to conceal itself, although artillery may be located by the flash. Balloons and powerful telescopes must be used to locate the enemy. Speaking of the march of the Brit? ish army from Bloemfontein to Preto? ria he dwells on the indifference of the officers to enforce order for safety and the reluctance of the soldiers to entrench themselves. The infantry never rush in their attacks, but march calmly forward. Capt. Slocum saw mounted men waiting for orders to advance, sit erect, making perfect targets for the rifles at short range. He adds: "They have not the individuality and resources of our men, but for in? domitable courage. uncomplaining fortitude and implicit obedience, they are beyond criticism." Molteno, Cape Colony, June 18.

Three Millions are Offered by Wannamaker for the Privilege the City of Philadelphia Has Given Away. Philadelphia. June 2L-Following his offer to Mayor Ashbridge last week to pay 82.500. OOO for the street railway franchises granted to certain capital? ists in this city by the city council, to which he received no reply, ex-Post? master General John Wannamaker to? night sent a communication to Con? gressman Robert H. Foerderer, one of the capitalists to whom the franchises were granted, offering him a half mil? lion dollars for the franchises in addition to giving to the city the sum already offered. A few days ago Mr. Foerderer, in a newspaper interview, is al? leged to have stated that Mr. Wanna? maker's offer to the Mayor was not sincere, and that it had a "string to it." Mr. Wannamaker. in his letter to Mr. Foerderer, denies the imputation and continuing, says: "I therefore renew the offer which I made to the mayor to pay, as therein stated, to the city of Philadelphia, two million and a half dollars, and in addition thereto I will add a half million dollars as a bonus to yourself and your associates personally for the conveyanace of the grants and corpo? rate privileges you now possess. There is^ surely no string to this proposition. When you and your associates assign to me the capital stock, ownership and control of the corporations you now possess, with the engineers' plans. I will pay to you the sum of 8500,000 and I will pav to the citv of Philadelphia the 82,500,000 under"the conditions stated in my letter to the mayor. In addition to this I will agree on the surface roads covered by your charters and the ordinances that 3 cent fares only shall be charged be? tween the hours of 5 a. m. and 8 a. m., and 5 and 7 p. m., and not over 5 cents for the other hours : and I will further agree that any time within ten years the city of Philadelphia may resume the franchises upon the pay? ment of the actual money expended and invested in the varions enter? prises covered by the charters and. or? dinances, with 6 per cent, interest. It is not my desire to enter upon the busi? ness of railroading or to make any profit out of any municipal franchise. I merely desire the people to see how badly they have been wronged and the magnitude of the value of the proper? ty of which they have been despoiled. If you should accept the offer of this letter, I will cheerfully put the fran? chises up to auction and give the city any sum bid for them in excess of that which I shall pay under this proposi? tion. " Here is a story credited to Pierpont Morgan concerning Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Schwab: * * Mr. Schwab astounded me by telling me that he was receiving a salary of SI.000,OOO per year as presi? dent of the Carnegie companies. "I know no man can be worth that much salary," said he, "but I'll tell you how it happened that such a salary was given me. About a year before the reorganization of the Carnegie in? terests or about two years ago, I refus? ed astonishingly liberal terms to sever my connection with the Carnegie in? terests and take charge of some large manufacturing interests in Germany. It came to Mr. Carnegie's ears, and one day I was astounded to receive from him a contract assuring me of a salary of SL 000, OOO a year for five years. "I told Mr. Schawb," contin? ued Mr. Morgan, "that I had never heard of any such salary as that and that to assume the contract along with the other obligations of the Carnegie j interests might in all probability be ! impossible to the new corporation. 1 He drew a paper from his pocket and said : 4 ' Mr. Morgan here is my con? tract. It has been in force for two years, and in that time I have drawn only 8200,000 against my salary ac? count. I am fully aware of ? the fact that sentiment and not business, led Mr. Carnegie to draw that con? tract. I appreciate now that it offers an obstacle to the con summation of a project which is vastly favorable to the Carnegie in? terests. " " Thereupon, ' ' continued Mr. Morgan, "Mr. Schawb tore his contract to pieces before my eyes. I told Mr. Carnegie of the matter. He said: "I shall send him my check for the amount he lost when he destroyed the contract." Mr. Carnegie drew his check for 84, SOO.000 and sent it to Mr. Schwab. APPELT ON BUCHANAN. Judge Buchanan was very severe in his criticisms of Magistrate Youman's ruling in a case of Andrews Manufac? turing Co., against X. C. Stack, in i which the company had brought suit against Stack for a small amount, a part of which the defendant held a re? ceipt for. The case was set for a cer? tain time, and neither of the parties appeared, and Magistrate Y'oumans dismissed the case. The attorney for the plaintiff appealed. In sending the matter back to the Magistrate, the Judge spoke very sneeringly of the boldness of the "little fellow" who had the nerve to dismiss this case, and went on to express himself in lan? guage which, in our opinion, was un? necessary and totally unjust. Not? withstanding Judge Buchanan's tirade calculated to mortify a man, good law? yers say that Magistrate Youmans did right. We do not think it proper for a judge to indulge in sneering and sar? castic remarks about an officer with inferior jurisdiction, even if that offi- j cer did make a mistake in his ruling, j A magistrate getting a salary of 8300 ; a year cannot be supposed to know as much, law as a judge who gets 83.000, yet .the records of the Supreme Court show that the magistrate's decisions are confirmed about as many times as the decisions of some of the judges. It is not smart in one clothed with authority to speak in a manner to humiliate, when he knows that the party spoken of cannot tiefend himself, j We heard Judge Buchanan's remarks ' concerning Magistrate Youmans and we are surry that he spoke as he did. i if he continues in that line on all of j the circuits his judicial career will not Inst very long after the next ses- ! sion of the Generally Assembly, be canse people will resent an injustice. -Manning Timts. PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED. Accident on Charleston and West? ern Carolina Road. Special to The State. Spartanburg. Jane 20.- This after? noon the passenger train from Augusta on the Charleston and Western Caro? lina, Conductor Colcock. jumped the track this side the trestle over Tyger river, two miles from Roebuck, while turning a sharp curve at the rate of about 30 miles an hour. All the cars save the Pullman coach were thrown off the track. The locomotive turned over and the cars tilted. There were about 25 passengers on the train. En? gineer Henry Zeigler and Fireman R. P. Turner, both of Augusta, were the worst hurt, the former having severe cuts in head and internal injuries. He has been unconscious for hours and his recovery is extremely doubtful. Fireman Turner's face bruised, left arm and shoulder burned and thighs badly injured. W. E. Schauefele, news butcher, 15 years old, . had left leg broken between ankle and knee : face slightly bruised. Wm. A. Wal? lace, of Laurens, baggage master, was internally injured, right foot bruised and face scarred up. M. J. O'con? ner, of Augusta, a veteran express messenger, was bruised on the head. Ben Nance, colored postal clerk, bruised somewhat. Washington, June 18.-The Russian ambassadaor, Count Casini, has com? municated to the state department that in consequence of the action of the American government through a treas? ury order of March 9, last, applying tariff restrictions against Russian pe? troleum imported into this country, the Russian minister of finance, M. de Witte, has issued an order, dated June 7, imposing the high tariff rate of the Russian schedule on certain American products. London, June IS.-Former Governor Hazen S. Pingree, of Michigan, is dead. Mr. Pingree died at LL35 to night. His son was the only person present. The body will be taken home. The fatal disease was a cancerous af? fection of the intestines. TOO MUCH FOR BEANS. A good many years ago I was con? nected with a morning newspaper in an Illinois city, and our custom was to go to the restaurant in the railroad station for our midnight lunch, that being the only place open at that time of the night. There were three morning papers, so quite a number of the newspaper boys made the place a rendezvous, and we used to sit and talk over the things that had happened and a good many that had not. This restaurant was run by a man named Cull, and he had held up enough trains with his lunch counter to make himself pretty well fixed in this world's goods. One night when we were all gather? ed there the 12.07 train* pulled in and among others was a passenger who re? galed himself with a plate of beans. The lunch counter, in Cull's ab? sence, was in charge of a young man who had his eye distinctly on the main chance. The conductor called "All aboard!" and the man in great haste asked what he owed. "Fiftv cents." "What! Fifty cents for a plate of beans?" "That's the price." "'You're joking-how much?" "Fifty cents goes." "Well," said the man as he paid the money in with little evidence of tem? per, "that's a thundering price for beans. ' ' And again as he went through the door he turned and said impressively "a thundering price for beans." Cull's troubles began with that mo? ment. While we were still sitting here the railroad operator brought in a tel? egram to Cull, who had come in in the meantime, and was chuckling over the profits of those beans. Cull read the telegram. All it said was : " A thundering price for beans. John Q. Smith," but on the envelope was the significant inscription "Col? lect 25 cents." This was the opening shot. From every station between that town and St. Louis came the wail to Cull, "a thundering price for beans,'" and each time Cull got madder and madder over the "collect 25 cents." In the morning Cull notified the boy not to receive or pay for any more telergams, and also read* the riot act to the tele? graph company. The next day our friend John Q. Smith started* on a new game. He would pack a dozen choice brick in a box with the same old message inclos? ed and ship them to Cull. This he did by both freight and express, "charges collect," until Cull was fairiv frenzied with rage. Now, at that time Cull was playing the market through a Chicago broker and it happened that there was a sud? den and severe slump. The broker wired to Cull to put up more margins. Cull's boy under instructions, declined to receive the message. Getting no answer to his telegram the broker closed Cull's account at a whopping loss.
