TSE EXPECTED BAS HAPPENED.
I Giange of Venus Oranted in the
Tillman Trial. .
THE SENSATION OF THE DAV
Was Ex-Judge 0. W. Buchanan's
Tirade "Against the Press,
The Commercial Interests and the Peo?
ple generally of Colombia."
Colombia, S. C., Jane 24-Argu?
ment on the motion for a change of
venue in the case of James H. Till?
man, indicted for the murder of N. G.
Gonazles, was concluded at 5 o'clock
this afternoon, and Judge Townsend
at once-, announced, his decision that
the change should be grnated. Coun?
sel disagreed concerning the county
where the case should be sent and this
?as left"undecided for-the present
The "day's proceedings opened with
tae argm#nt [ot Mr. Andrew Craw?
ford, for the prosecution, against the i
motion. Be spoke* for an hour and a;
?alf, and ins presentation of the law
was hrgrrry compiim<mted. He wasj
followed by Mr. P. fl. Nelson, for
the defence, who also devoted himself
largely to the law of the case. Mr.
G. Buncann Bellinger, formerly At?
torney Generai, ; next addressed the
Gourt foi the., prosecution, nrst ans?
wering the arguments on the other
side. Solicitor Thurmond closed for
the prosecution in a clear-cut speech.
The sensation cf the day followed,
when Ex-Judge O.- W. Buchanan, the
?defendant's brother-in-law, addressed
the Court?. It was not thought that
Judge Buchanan would speak, especial?
ly as the defence had left only about
iifty minutes of the time allotted that
?ide, wMcfr, it was presumed, would
fee occupied by Congressman George
"W. Croft, Tillman's law partner. But
Judge Buchanan spoke for thirty min?
utes ancl delivered a bitter arraign?
ment of the press, the commercial in?
terests and the people generally of
Colombia. He asserted that com?
mercialism had supplanted the old
Southe rr. standards, and that the press
was now at liberty to abase and villify
any man who spoke his honest convic?
tions. 7 He charged that the State had
goaded the defendant to desperation by
its abuse of him, and said the State
??d now cracked its whip and lashed
the citizens of Columbia into signing
.affidavits for the prosecution under fear
of the State's power. He charged
that the capitalist interest and the
press were allied, and that men had
tieen intimidated into signing those
affidavits, lest their position or their
?business be injured.
"By grabs," exclaimed Judge Buch?
anan., "if they don't like this let them
lump it"
Judge Townsend interrupted the
speaker to say that he was consuming
the time of the defence and leaving
none for Mr. Croft.
.Mi; Buchanan then took his seat
ana Court adjourned for dinner with
fifteen, minutes remaining of the al
jtSotted time. This was extended, and
^ 35c Croft closed the argument, after
. dinner, in a strong speech of about
- twenty minutes.
At ??& dose the Court announced its
-decision to grant the motion and ask
-ed counsel for suggestions concerning
? ^he place to which the case should be
cransfened. Mr. Croft suggested
i Saluda, Sat to this Solicitor Thur
j22ond objected on the ground that
Siftnda Court House is fourteen miles
r^from the railroad and accommodations
..areioo in?agre to entertain the two
Jaemoxe? witnesses who would have
*?to*nf ttsTB"usported there.
Crawford also spoke in objec?
tion to Saluda, saying that the defen?
dant's father, the late Congressman
George I). Tillman, was the father of
Saluda County and that until recent
jyears Saluda was a part of Edgefield,
the defendant's home.
Mr. Nelson spoke strongly in favor
of sending the case to Saluda, alleging I
?hat the defendant was entitled to a
sheedy trial and this could not be had
sinless it was sent to either Saluda pr
Edgefield, as Court for this term has
been held in other counties of this
circuit-.
Mr. Bellinger replied to the remarks
-of Messrs. Croft and Nelson with much
vigor, asserting that to transfer the
case to Saluda wonl ? be unwise and
unjust to the prosf-oution as well as
inconvenient. Be said that the defen?
dant had waived his right to a speedy
trial by asking for a continuance at
the last term of Court, when the pro?
secution was anxious to proceed. There
.were several lively tilts between
Messrs. Nelson and Bellinger.
Mr. Croft closed the argument, as?
serting that there were ample accom?
modations at Saluda and that it is
not a Tillman stongbold. Judge Town?
send then instructed the attorneys to
draw up an order for a change of.
renae and leave the county blank for
the present. It is supposed he will
announce his decision on that point
tomorrow.
The case must be tried in the judi?
cial circuit, in which there are five
ceunties. This county, Richland, is
saew eliminated bj' today's decision.
EdgeSeld is the defendant's home and
counsel for defence admittd that they
.did not expect it to go there, al
?hough counsel for the prosecution
preferred Edgefield to Saluda. Saluda
is a ?>w county, cut off seven years
ago from Edgefield, and George D.
Tillman, father ol the defendant, was
instrumental in having it formed.
The other two counties in the cir?
cuit are Lexington and Kershaw,
which are on opposite sides of Rich?
land. Lexington adjoins Edgefield,
.but has close business interests with
Sichland, and it is Lexington that the
counsel for the prosecution seem to
prefer, It is believed that Judge
Townsend will either name Saluda or
Lexington, and in either case the trial
will not take place for six weeks or
two months.-News and Courier.
Tillman to Be Tried in Lexington.
Special to The Daily Item :
Columbia, June 25.-Judge Town- ?
send announced in court this morning
that having granted the change of
venue applied for by the Attorneys of
james H*. Tillman, he would order
the tiial removed to Lexington county ?
?t the fall term of court.
The removal to Lexington is some?
what of a surprise as it was generally
-believe that the trial would be held
ia Saluda county.
GR??T BANK FOR NEW YORK.
Biggest Financial institution in
the World Being Organized
With $100,000,000 Capital.
Washington, Jnne 21- New York
city is to have the largest bank in the
United States and in the world. It
will be larger than the Bank of Eng?
land or of any of the famed financial
I institutions of the old world. This in?
formation is brought to Washington
by an agent of one of the large finan?
cial concerns of the metropolis. Just
how soon the big enterprise is to be
launched is not decided, but overtures
have been made to see if the govern?
ment will raise objection to the
capitalization ?nd to the organiziation
of the bank under the national banking
laws. The refusal of the .government
to sanction the venture is the only
thing that will prevent carrying out
the scheme. It is not deemed prob?
able that any obstacle will be met as
the same safeguards will be insisted
on and the same precautions taken by
the government after the organization
as are taken now in the smallest bank
of the United States. The capitaliza?
tion is to be $100,000,000. This will
equal the government's gold reserve
and will be " much larger than the
capitalization of any banking or finan?
cial institution in the world.
Although the time has not come. to
make known the men who are to be
associated in the new enterprise it is
understood" that the recent consolida?
tion of the National Bank of Com?
merce and the Western National Bank
in New York city is the first step in
the direction of the new bank. These
banks have united and have a
capitalization of $25,000,000, making
them now the largest bank in this
country. The name of the new insti?
tution is the National Bank of Com?
merce.
As a majority of the stock in the
new bank is owned by the people con?
trolling the Western National Bank,
it has not been generally understood
why the name of National Bank of
Commerce was chosen. It was ex?
plained today that the National Bank
of Commerce has a charter, which is
different and more valuable than any
other bank in the country. No such
charter could possibly be secured from
the government now. At the time
when the national banking law was
passed, it . was the desire of the gov?
ernment that State and other banks
should take advantage of its terms. In
consequence organized banks were per?
mitted to retain their charters, except
where they were in open conflict with
the provisions of the national banking
law. The National Bank of Commerce
has a charter which is not duplicated
anywhere. One of its advantages is
the limiting of responsibility of its
stockholders to the amount of their
investment. Another is that the
directors themselves fill vacancies in
their own body, and not the stock
holders generally. The charter has
many more practical advantages in
that it is more liberal than charters
since the banking law went into effect.
The great advantage of organizing a
new bank with a capitalization of
$100,000,000 is to finance great enter?
prises. Financiers have seen the
growing tendency among the people of
the country to engage in new and big
enterprises. In former years, when
the country was younger, few schemes
were luanched which contemplated a
term of more than a few years to work
out. Now financiers are launching
enterprises which, they believe, will
be in existence, and by their very
nature cannot be worked ont for sev?
eral generations. These require im?
mense amounts of money. Now, when
a big enterprise is launched a financial
syndicate is organized. Into the
syndicate a number of banks and fin?
ancial institutions are drawn. If one
of the big banks drawing to itself
millions of dollars of capital is
organized, it is felt that there will
not have to be a division of profits
with other members of a syndicate nor?
win the largest enterprises along
conservative lines have to enter into
negotiations with any but the one
concern.
Suicided With Dynamite.
Brunswick, Ga., June 25-Friends
of George Coates, a former prominent
railroad and club man of this city,
learned today of his suicide near Ur?
bana, a suburb of Brunswick. Mr.
Coates used dynamite as a means of
self-destruction, and his body was
mangled into an almost unrecognizable
mass. The body was discovered today
in an unfrequented location in the
woods. The time of the suicide is be?
lieved to have been Monday night,
when a, loud explosion was heard by
mill hands near Urbana.
Up to two years ago Mr. Coates had
been for years general agent of the
Plant system in this pity. He after?
ward became attached to the Bruns?
wick and Birmingham Eailway as
auditor. The reason for his suicide is
not definitely known.
A Colony For Georgetown.
The sinking fund commissioners has
sold five thousand acres of public land
in Georgetown County to T. J. Doyle,
of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Com?
pany, the price being $1.25 per acre.
Mr. Doyle intends to colonize the
tract and experiment with the raising
of sugar beets and cranberries, the
land, it is said, being suitable for
both.
New London, Conn, June 25.-For
I the first time on record Yale today
triumphed over Harvard in all three of
their boat races in the annual regatta
on the Thames. The wearers of the
blue won the eght-oared "Varsity" by
three and one-half boat lenghts, the
freshmen eight-oared race by two and
a quarter lengths and the "Varsity"
four-oared race by one and a half
lengths. In all three races Harvard
put up a memorable fight and went
down to defeat after gallant straggle
in which her boys rowed out the last
ounce of their strength.
"Tillman Fears Columbia Jury" is
The Atlanta Constitution's headline
on the report of the effort to secure a
change of veune for the trial of Gon?
zales' slayer. It is not a Columbia
I jury especially, we think, that is
I feared, but the facing of any jury and
the application for the change of
[ venue which has availed-is merely an
undertaking to postpone the evil mo?
ment as far as possible.-Charleston

MILITIA RULE IN RICHMOND.
Power of State Used to Protect
Street Cars and Other Prop?
erty of Trolley Company.
Richmond, Va., Jnne 25.-Street
cars were run on three of the city lines
this afternoon, and are running to?
night, so far without serious molesta?
tion. On each car were four, six or
eight militiamen, with rifles loaded
and bayonets fixed. Strong guards
of militiamen were on duty today at
all the power houses and car barns,
including the west end barn, in Hen
rich county. Stringent orders were
issued by the authorities today. For
the purpose of maintaining order, wo?
men and children were asked to re?
main at home as far as possible, and
the troops were specially directed to
shoot promptly and to kill, if neces?
sary, to prevent destruction of prop?
erty, or peril to life or limb.
Arrests are made on the slightest
provocation, and altogether what is
very nearly martial law is being en?
forced. There were some slight out?
breaks of disorder. A volley was fired
over the heads of a riotous crowd by
a squad of troops on a car, but at 10
o'clock the cars are running over the
whole extent of the several lines and
no rioting of any consequence has
been reported from any part of the
city.
Just before midnight unknown per?
sons in ambush, a little outside the
west limits of the city, opened fire on
passing cars. A motorman and two
soldiers were slightly wounded. Troops
and county officers are scouring the
fields for the attacking individuals
and so far have made two arrests.
The cars continued their trips steadi?
ly during the night and, beyond the
shooting mentioned, there has been no
disorder of moment. The number of
passengers carried, however, is very
small.
Late tonight it was reported that
the bridge on which the Seven Pines
line, a part of the Richmond trolley
system, eroses a run, but a mile and
a half from the city, is in flames,
having been set fire, it is alleged, by
strike sympathizers.
One of the men arrested in West
End for firing on the cars, is a former
employee of the street car company.
Bullets were found on his person cor?
responding in size to the wounds made
by the shots.
APPROPRIATION FOR S. G. MILITIA.
The United States Works Sub?
stantial Improvements for
State Militia.
m --
Columbia, June 25.-Gen. John D.
Frost returned this afternoon from
Washington where he went in connec?
tion with militia affairs, and he brings
with him good news for the militia.
There has been set aside for this
State, and will be soon available, $31,
399.25 for encampment purposes, besides
an equipment fund of $24,063,29. All
of the latter fund is now available,
and an equal sum will be later on.. A
requisition for, these funds will be
made by some officer of the militia to
be appointed byvtbe Governor, who
will probably" announce the appoint?
ment tomorrow. He will have to give
a bond for half the amount and will
be responsible for its disbursement,
taking receipts and keeping vouchers
in all respects, as is done in the
regular army. He will receive the re?
gular army pay of his rank while on
duty. Up to a year ago this State re?
ceived $8,000 from Uncle Sam for
military purposes, but hi? liberally
now has hardly been realized. The
equipment fund of $48,000 referred to,
does not include the equipment of
magazine and carbine rifles, which
are to be furnished free, nor does it
include the encampment fund mention?
ed. The encampment fund is to be
used for the transportaton and subsist?
ence of the officers and men of the
militia, who participate in the en?
campment and who will receive re?
gular army pay and receipt for it.
Those who do not participate will not
receive any pay.
A meeting of the field officers is to
be held here next Wednesday to con?
sider the matter of the encampment..
They will consider the location of
camps, the water supply, lights, etc.,
of any place desiring the encampment.
Requisition has been made for an
entire field equipment of a regiment,
consisting of tents, mess outfits,
knives, forks and various other things
needed by a regiment while in service.
A requisition for an equipment of
Krag-Jorgensens and carbines has also
been made and tbey will be shipped at
once. Gen. Frost feels that he will be
able to accomplish great things for the
militia under the circumstances, and
he will devote all his energies in that
direction. The Anderson chamber
of commerce has already made in?
quiries about the encampment, with a
view of getting it there.
TOBACCO IN TEXAS.
Government to Establish Big Ex?
perimental Station to Test
Weed Grown in State.
New Orlean, Jnne 25.-It is stated
the United States Department of Agri?
culture has decided to make Nacogdo
ches, Texas, just north of Beaumont,
on the line of the Southern Pacific, the
biggest tobacco experimental station
in the world.
In August a plant for the curing of
all the tobacco grown at experiment
stations in the Southern States will
be opened with leaf tobacco exports
of the Agricultural Department in
charge.
Government tests have demonstrated
that tobacco can be grown in the soil
of East Texas, equal if not superior
to the costly tobacco of the Venita Abaja
district of Pinar del Ri, Cuba, known
as the finest in the world.
Senator J. A. McDermott, of Horry
county, has resigned to Jfill the office
of county treasurer, as a result of a
recent meeting of the delegation of
that county. The office was made
vacant by the death of Mr. L. D.
Long. The governor will order a
special election to elect a successor to
Senator McDermott, and the election
will probably be held on the second
Tuesday in August. ^^^^

LIGHTNING'S PRANKS AT WEDGEFIELD
Narrow Escape From Death of Several
Negroes.
Wedgefield, June 26.-We were visit?
ed yesterday afternoon by another
heavy rain accompanied by a good deal
of lightning which did some damage.
Stephen Taylor's (colored ) boys were
leading his horse and mule out of the
field when the lightning struck near,
killing horse and mnle, but not injur?
ing the boys.
Thomas Taylor who lives about three
miles above here, had his house also
struck. He and a girl in the house
were stunned, the girl receiving sev?
eral burns. The floor where Taylor
was sitting had two holes in it, where
the bolts passed through killing a
dog underneath the house.
WOULD STOP FREE SEEDS.
Dealers Want Government to Quit
Distribution.
Washington, June 24.-It is expect?
ed that during the convention of
American j3eed Merchants'Association,
which began at Atlantic City yester?
day, the matter of free distribution of
seeds by the department of agricul?
ture will be thoroughly discussed and
some measures adopted with a view
of stopping it. It is said also that
the seed merchants will take some
action regarding the establishment of
the seed-testing stations by the depart?
ment in different parts of the country.
When asked about the matter one of
the officials of the department who is
close to Secretary Wilsen stated that
any action by the merchants which
would have the effect of discontinuing
the free distribution of seeds by the
government would be welcomed by the
department. For years the department
has been trying to rid itself of this
work, but Congress annually appro?
priates money for the purchase of
the seeds and causes to be distributed
throughout the country 57,000,(03
packages every year. These packages
represent every variety of seed. .
As to the other proposition; regard?
ing the testing of seeds, it was said
that the merchants would be cutting
off their own heads if they took any
action regarding this. The depart?
ment merely seeks to learn which are
the best seeds for certain localities
and to protect the farmer, as much as
it can, from the unscrupulous mer?
chants who would foist on him seeds
that would not germinate.
"Tony" Aste, the king of New
York bootblacks, attended the Rancho
del Paso sale of yearlings at Sheeps?
head Bay recently and secured the star
of the sale. A black colt, by Water
crest-Inquisitive, was knocked down
to him for $7,100, after spirited bid?
ding, in which some men of money
took part. When Tony landed the
prize the auctioneer said : "Mr. Aste,
I hope you have another Nasturtium
in this horse." It will be remember?
ed that Aste sold this horse for $60,000.
Aste is the Napoleon of the shining
profession. He formerly manipulated
a brush in the Equitable building and
now owns an extensive string of "par?
lors' all over the city He has over
800 men in his employ, all Italians
He has been in this country only
fourteen years, but in that time he has
distanced ninety-nine and nine-tenths
of the natives in the race for wealth.
Wilmingtn, Del., June 25.-The ex
citement and disorder following the
lynching of George B. White for the
murder of Miss Helen Bishop, has en?
tirely disappeared, and the city and
surrounding country is now quiet;.
The police force, which has been call?
ed upon frequently during the last few
days to disperse crowds and put down
incipient riots, had little to do today.
No arrests were made and the authori?
ties give no intimation that any will
occur. Arthur Corwell of Indiana,
who was arrested in connection with
the lynching, will be given a hearing
tomorrow. At the hearing the charge
will be changed to that of manslaught?
er. Corwell's bond of $5,000 was re?
newed.
Russell Sage is in his 89th year and
is generally referred to as a " veteran

quarter of a century longer on change.
Mr. Wesley began speculating when
only 0 years of age, his first venture
being in pins, when he made a profit
of about a dollar. From that day to
thi3 he has made his living as a
speculator. Five days in the week
he is in regular attendance in Wall

atism began to bother him, he never
was ill a day in his life.

The use of fumes from leaves of the
eucalyptus in the treatment of pul?
monary consumption, which is now
attracting the attention of the Medical1
Society of Berlin, is new in America, I
Danelius and Sommerfield of Berlin
nave made satisfactory tests if it in a j
combination of the powdered leaves, !
flower, sulphur and charcoal impreg?
nated with oil of eucalyptus named
Sanosin. It is vaporized on an eartfien
dish by a spirit lamp. Dr. Engel, an
eminent bacteriologist, who examined
daily*the expectoration of each of the
large number treated with anaosin,
says that under no other treatment
has he seen the sputum change so
rapidly through disappearance of the
tubercle bacilli and the elastic fibers
peculiar to the disease.
fi GREAT DEBATE IN SUMTER.
