Victor* Col, June 8.-A pitched battle between the military and anion miners was fonght at Dunnville, the mw mining camp, 13 miles ont of Vic? tor, shortly after 3 o'colek this after? noon. Joh a Carley, ? union miner, was killed,and.fi ve others. . The troops returned te Victor at S o'clock tonight, .bringing with them li captives. Before v .-^special .?rain left Victor bearing il? ?orce. under Gren. Bell it was reported that the miners in , the ??j^n?ville numbered about men, an? that it was their intent to march tinto Victor tonight in a body aa? a?topi to liberate, by force inmates; ? of the temporary "bull [* in, Victor. That the force ac ly consisted of but 21 men is the mt-o? one of the 14 who were \by the militia, train.proceeded in the afternoon to thaimmediaie vicinity of Dunnvijle without unusual incident, t When about a quarter of a mile distant from the Dunnville temporary station the eiscers could see the camp of the min? ers. It included one cabin and six or seven tents. The officers leff; the train;, at the command of Gren. Bell and pre? pared to advance upon the camp of the unionists in regular skirmish or? ejee. As they emerged from the cut in which the train bad come. to a stop they were greeted with, a volley of shots which came from points of vant? age surrounding the hills.. The deputies .returned the fire and J $m>jniscu3 shooting was indulged in for a period of ten minutes. From the cbaractre of the shooting from the hills Gem. Bell immediately recognize ?ed the fact that the strength of the miners bsd been greatly over estimat? ed and that, he had. sufficient force ucder his command to make an im? mediate roundup and capture the en? tire opposing force. The captured miners include John J James, charged with shooting John j Davis in ta> riot at Victor. Among -the dead was John Carley, a union miner of Cripple Creek.* Great ex- ? -citernes? prevaled in this city upon the receipt of the nows of the battle. The deputies secured the arms and ammunition^ of part of the miners. As the spacial train hearing the deputies drew np at Dunnvilie the un- i ion miners? entreached in the neighs! ?xirhoodt opened ?re. Gen. Bell got his men out and stormed the en-j ?renetmeat,.capturing 15, the arms .and ammnni-tion being captured. In the fierce, fight .which followed six ?nion miners were killed. At 4.50 the battle was still, in prog? ress, "the union miners fighting stu h l>Grn]y. The miners occupy weil en? trenched position in the hills and are Hooting down at the soldiers and guards at every opportunity. The surrounding country is favorable to the miners, and it seems that Gen. Bell will have to take every defense separately.. WRECKED NEWSPAPER OFFICE. Victor, Coi, June 9-Eight un? known men armed with pistols, rifles, .shotscns and sledge hammers entered the office? of the Victor Record last sght, ordered the men to throw up their h h nd?, broke the machinery and then tola th men to get out of the dis? trict as fast as they could. There is to clue to the identity of the men. George Kyner? proprietor of the paper, was at lunch, and Foreman Walter Sweet was in charge cf the men. The workmen obeyed quickly. The unknown men thee wrecked two linotype machines, several job presses ?and all the equipment of the office and smashed the telephone and a type writer. When their work of min was .completed they marched The Record employes out ou the sidewalk and told them to get out of town. The Record lias been known as the organ of the Western Federation of Miners in this section. Victor, Cola, June 9.-Adjt Gren. Sherman M. Bell, COM mander of the Teller Countv mili tr.. \ district, today ordered the Portland mne, which em? ploys union mei?, i-icsed down. The order asserts that the min* has been harboring dangerous and lawless men, who have aided and encouraged those guilty of recent crimes and outrages in the district. The Portland is the only large mine in the district ti at has co?tinued ia operation since the explosif n at Inde? pendence on Mo: dav, which killed or maimed more than twenty non-union miners. The Portland Gold Mining Company, through its president and manager, James F. Burns, who is not a mmber of the Criple Creek district Mine Owners* Association, conceded the demands of the. union, when tie. strike was inaugurated last August, and has steadily given employment to five hundred men. Gren. Bell also it-sued a proclamation, calling on all persons to refrain from violence and to resume their usual occupa tiona The commission appointed by Gen. Bell to inquire into the records of the miners under arrest, reported to him today a list of ninety-seven union miners, with the recommendation that they be deported. Gen. Bell accepted the report and announced that the mes would be sent out of Teller Coun? ty as soon as a sp?cial train crew conld be arranged for. "DEATH TO UNIONISM I" ' Cripple Creek, CoL, June 9. * 'Death to unionism in the Cripple Creek district" is the new slogan of the Citizens1 Alliance, which has sent a decree broadcast that every person connected with any union here must either sever his or her connection with such organizaticn or leave the dis? trict. Try son S. Dines, a Denver attorney, and one of the executors of the Strat tion estate, is here in conference with Citizens* Alliance leaders, and it is ?kononneed that he is preparing a forra when will be presented to every mer? chant and business man and all other employers of labor in the entire dis? trict, pledging them not to employ any person who is affiliated with labor union. This is considered the most drastic step yet taken by the Al? liance since it secured the upper hold 1 in the district, and its enforcement will affect three thousand men now affiliated with the Tarions unions. Gen. Bell issued a statement today regardine the raid cn the Victor Rec? ord office last night, in which the newspaper plant was destroyed, caus? ing a loss of $8, COO. Gen. Bell em? phatically condemns the act and says the perpetrators will be landed hhthe bull pen if apprehended . Editor Ty ner, of the Record, said today that he did not believe union miners wrecked his office because of his editorial ad? vising that the strike be called off. He said union miners approved his course. The Mining Exchange hall is being used as a bull pen in addition to the Victor'Armory. Armed deputies are placed in the galleries of the Ex? change, the prisoners occupying the pit of the call room. Several guards are as the door, each carrying repeat? ing shotguns that* contain buckshot. Families and wives of the prisoners constantly endeavor to see and talk with the husbands and fathers incar? cerated, in most cases permission be- j ing refused. Five of the six members of the Goldfield city council are in the bull j pen, so that the town is without an executive body. The committee on safety has made a demand upon District Attorney Henry Trowbridge that he remove his deputy, J. C. Cole, and also request? ed that S. D. Crump be appointed to fill the vacancy. Crump is the attor- j ney for tne Mine Owners' Associa? tion. Sheriff Edward Bell today appointed L. F. Parsons, bf Cripple Creek, un? der sheriff of Teller County, and the appointment was confirmed by the county commissioners at once. Mr. Parsons is secretary of the Cripple Creek Mining Exchange. Coroner George Hall, who succeeded j Coroner James Doran, who resigned ' under compulsion, today empanelled a new jury, which will hold an inquest over the man murdered at Indepen? dence with an infernal machine. Marshal Naylor and his squad cap? tured George' Gridley today neaT Ca? non City and returned with him to Victor. He is charged with having killed Roxie McGee in Victor on Mon? day and with having attempted to shoot C. C. Hamlin, secretary of the Mine Owners' Association, when he - as addressing the meeting in Victor last^Monday. HUNTING THE MINERS. Victor, Col, Jone 9.-A squad of mounted infantrymen left today in pursuit of fifty-five union miners said to be encamped in the Beaver Creek region, east of this city. The troops have orders to shoot the men when found if they resist arrest Victor, Co.L, June 10.-The mer? chants and all other employers of this district are signing an agreement not to employ any union men. There is a desperate determination to break up unionism in this distric or to drive out all union men. Colorado Srings, Colo, June 10. Anting under the orders of Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell, of the State National Guard, a special train was made up shortly after noon today in the short line yards at,Victor for the deporta? tion of sevenaty-six union miners. The train was composed of a combina? tion baggage car and two day coaches. Almost immediately the work of load? ing the men bega P. . They were j marched to the tzain between heavy lines of military and deputies. A crowd of fully 1,000 people had col? lected to see the men placed on board. Among the spectators, were wives and listers, -lathers and mothers of the deported men, and the scenes were very affecting. Mothers, sisters and sweethearts cried eood-bye and tried to push through the lines for a part? ing hand-shake. Mayor Harris, of- this city, had been informed of the decision to de? port the men, and immediately took steps to see that none of them landed in Colorado Springs. Tbe train stop? ped long enough at this place to give the soldiers time to eat. The deported men had rations of beans and bread on board. Another party of exiled men will be sent ont of the district tomorrow. Sixty men confined in the Cripple Creek bull pen were taken to the county jail, and charges of murder were placed against them. WORE THAN MOLLIE MA? GUIRES. Cripple, Col., June 10.-Clarence C. Hamlin, secretary of the Cripple Creek District Mine Owners' Associa? tion, gave out a statement todav in reply to a telegram from a New York newspaper, asking him to present his 'side cf the labor troubles here. Mr. Hemlin says the strike was not fer an eight-hour day, which already pre? vails, the miners getting from $3 to $4 a das but*'to compel every miner in tb is district to join the Western Fed? eration of Miners, or leave the coun? try. Tb s organization has a record of lawlessness, murder, arson and dynamiting in Coner D'Alene, Butte, Leadville, Idaho Springs, Telluride, Cripple Creek and elsewhere, extend? ing over a period of ten or fifteen years, which should appall humanity. These outrages culminated here Mon? day, when fifteen men were blown into eternity and nearly as many more maimed so that death would be a mercy. The only parallel to this organization can be fonnd in the Mol? lie Maguires of Pennsylvania, and their members were law abiding citi? zens compared with the organization which we have to deal with. Tho peace and quiet of the State demand that this organzation be exterminated root and branch. The responsibility for the above outrages is so well fixed that no person can belong to the Fed? eration and pretend to be a law-abid? ing citizen." APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT. Denver, Col., June 10.-The execu? tive board o? the Western Federation of Miners decided today to appeal to President Roosevelt to investigate t'3e condition in Colorado. Secretary W. D. Haywood was instructed to send the following telegram to the Presi? dent: "A duty devolves upon you as Presi? dent of the United States to investi? gate the terrible crimes that are being perpetrated in Colorado in the name of law and order. We will render every possible assistance to the proper authorities in such investigation, to the ?nd that the people of the country may realize :he outrages that are be? ing inflicted on innocent persons by tpose in temporary offical power." Lee County Court Solicitor Wilson drove through from Sumter and got here Sunday night in order to be fresh for the work of the ~ourt. Judge Aldrich telephoned that ne would come on the noon day train. Solicitor Wilson found only three cases to be given to Grand Jury but there are several cases brought over from last: court John W. M a han indicted for rape, Ed Li ty violation of Dispensary law and Edward Miller burgiay and lar? ceny. Judge Aldrich and Stenographer Lathan came in on the noon train and court was called at once. Judge Al? drich is just getting over a severe at? tack of f rip and the physicians in Sumter advised against his taking the long ride through the country from Sumter to this place. He lost no time in having the court called, tho solicitor handed the bill to the grand jury and the judge's charge was a brief, plain statement of their da ties. He stabed that jurors and witnesses must stay in the court room or in calling distance, or else they would be fined. Firm, yet courteous in his rulings, livery one soon learned to re? spect and obey. True bills were found in each case and Ed Lity plead quilty to violating the dispensary law and was given 90 days on chain gang or pay $100. He chose the latter. Ed Miller was found not guilty of burglary and larceny. The or ly case tried, that was brought over from the last court, was that of Logan McCaskill for assault and bat? tery with intent to kill and carrying a concealed weapon. . The Judge said he would be lenient with him and gave him 90 days or $75 fine. He paid the fine. The case of Will Mahan was set for Wednesday and was of such a charac? ter that the Judge ordered all the boys to be put ont the court house. The Solicitor was assisted in this case by Mr. J. B. McLauchlin and the d?fendent was represented by Messrs. T. G. McLeod and F. F. Herndon. All of Wednesday was taken np with this ti i ai and the case was given to the ju ry - about sundown and at ll o'clock Thursday the jury was dis? missed and a mistrial ordered. No common pleas court except a few appeal cases and orders. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. To His Honor, James Aldrich, pre? siding Judge June term Court of General Sessions.

The technical name of the new vegetable is solanum imper soni, but it is now beginning to be called the Uruguay Irish potato, as it comes from the banks of the Mercedes River, in Uruguay. The yield is said to be enormous and it appears to be immune from any disease. This potato is cultivated like the common potato. A Great Ruler. One of the greatest of rulers is the liver.

Wedgefield, June 9.-The county is indebted to the telephone for the can? didates famished the chain gang last week. Section master G. S. Hinson telephoned that three tramping ne? groes had taken his and bis hands' dinner buckets. Constable J. C. Nunney was notified and was ready for them, and carried them over to Magistrate W. J. Kees where they were given a speedy trial and in a few hours they were on their way to serve thirty days each on the chain gang, where they can have time now for reflection on what course to pursue hereafter on passing a hand car. Oat harvesting is in order now and many wished this afternoon to see the cloud that was approaching pass around without rain, but it came. Corn and cotton are both looking well now. Misses Dell Thomas and Lee Moore, are at home from Winthrop College. Messrs. F. M. Dwight, Jr., and F. E. Thomas, Jr., are at home from Clemson college for the holidays. Drawn From the Woods. A sylvan coolness blows from'The Wooden Works of Thomas Anony? mous," printed in Baltimore and bound, or said to be, at the Backwoods Bindery, Sumter, S. C. In these periodical sprees of the mercury, poetry from the wood is refreshing. The mystifying1 ' Thomas''has returned to' the wooden age of books. He prints on wood. He binds in wood, genuine boards. His wooden slabs and their exterior wooden walls are held together by tin rings, connected by an ornamental brass chain. He might have added a couple of wooden clasps, but what's the use of finding fault with a genius and an original? "Thomas" is thoroughly enjoying' himself; and, if merit is appreciated, his poems will be hanging by the chain from a peg or hook in hundreds of happy homes. He admits facetiously that he "took to the woods" when his brain was big J with poetry. Wooden as the book \ looks, he thinks "it will be necessary to peruse the contents fully in order for any one to appreciate fully how thoroughly wooden it is." Mock modesty ; the book is fine gold. What joy are these god-like lines to us who have long insisted that tho art of poetry is merely a carving of prose into assorted lengths and hunks : The undulatory theory which assumes that ether is An elastic aud sensibly imponderable fluid pervading All space, the motions of those parti? cles in the form Of waves transmit light and heat, is untenable for several reasons. If there anything wooden in that it is the rustle of immemorial elms? Sleep drips from every line. You hear the murmur of straws in oceans of sher ry cobblers. This is a man to set Ganot's "Physics" to music and com? pel the "Principia" to "ragtime.", Now for a more jovial vein : Miss Luna spends the change she makes for trips around the world she takes: she must through all her quar? ters run, yet silver change can count upon ; in silver Luna rolls and she suggests the silver coinage free: for minds the moon can change and churn -with moon and men the tide will torn. On earth's affairs and human sense the moen exerts an influence. She sets-her duty 'tis to batch those theories that moonlight match. The setting moon like setting ben is mad, and mad she makes the men. This poet is nobly wild, not mad. Behold a glorious rhyme, of unimagin? able beauty: And I dreamed I was greens and that coons grazed me o'er. And of wild men with limited litera? ture. lu this woodhouse there is unlimit? ed literature, infinite riches in a little room. The works of "Thomas Anony? mous" are illustrated xylographically in the grand manner. Who is this j True Thomas the Rhymer? Our old Gopher friend, Jadam Bede, used to put his poetical legs into birch-bark 1? pants. ' ' Has he now enshrined his feet in wood?-The New York Sun. Our Cemetery. i A visit to our cemetery will reveal a very marked improvement, since the administration of Mr. Freeman as superintendent. The drives have been carefully tended, and evidences on all sides of care in all matters ap? pertaining to those attentions which should be- bestowed on this sacred spot by the association are clearly evident. There is nothing which marks with more unerring accuracy the character of a community than the manner in which their "God's acre" is cared for, and it is very evi? dent the lot holders of our cemetery too are trying to claim the privilege of tenderly not only keeping up but beautifying those hallowed squares where rest their dead. This is most gratifying, and we feel the earnest effort on the part of the association to do their duty should stimulate even greater, effort in this direction. The flowers wheh are laid upon the newly made mound soon fade and wither; but where shrubbery and flowers are planted, each retruning spring the hand of nature places them afresh upon the grave. Nothing shows a more constant thought of those who sleep that dreamless sleep beneath those flower-clad mounds than the shrubbery neatly trimmed. Here there is no law as to fence or no fence. It is alone the unwritten prompting of the heart and affection which suggests the ever green enclosure. There has been for some time a small assessment levied by the association to assist them in carying out their work of permanent improvement : and also, if necessary, to be aproppriated in purchasing additional ground when needed. The necessity of such a fund is very obvious, and the obligation should be cheerfully met by all. Are Your LiiDgs Weak.

A letter from Health Officer Rear? don was read presenting a resolution adopted by a joint committee of the Board of Health P.nd City Council asking that a sun cy for drainage be made to Green Swamp and Rocky Bluff Swamp, as the engineer's report shows that drainage cannot be suc? cessfully accomplished though Turkey Creek.

The Mayor stated that he had learn? ed from Mr. D. G. Zeigler, architect, that certain companies that had made offers to furnish fire escapes to the Opera House desire to have Council come to some decision in reference to the matter and he referred che ques? tion to the committee of public works. Recorder's report for May was re? ferred to the finance committeee, as also were the following claims : L. B. Durant, $18.20; Sibert's Drug Store, SL50: W. B. Boyle, $39.75; Marshall, Wescoat & Co., $30.00. Council then adjurned.. Hampton's Sword Returned to His Son. The sword of a chieftain returned by a foe ! The stainless blade of him who sleeps 'neath the giant oak in peaceful Trinity churchyard-the knightly Hampton. This sword, which has been obtained from Mr. Jos. Major of Eureka, 111., is one long missing, but the one in whose keeping it has been known to be for some time. Mr. McDufiae Hampton, learning in March of this year that the sword was in possession of Mr. Major, communicated with him and received in reply the follow? ing' letter: "In regard to the sword of which yon ask, I have a sword that probably once belonged to your lamented father. "As for the particulars as to how I came to get it. I will try and inform you the best I can. "About the 15th of February, 1865, our corps, the Fourteenth, being then on the extreme left of Gen. Sherman's column, as a battalion of mounted in? fantry were passing through our camp at night, one. of them offered fer sale this sword, and having lost my own I booght it. He said about noon as theil command was some distance from the main road, on nearing a farm house they saw four or five officers leave hastily in the opposite direction, and he being the first to reach the house found the sword lying on the bed in the room adjoining the dinner room. He said that everything appeared as though the officers were eating dinner, and being surprised left hastily, leav? ing the sword. I did not know this man and at the time did not believe one word of it. I only thought he had taken it from some private house. I regret to say there was much of that done. "The sword is not like those in gen? eral use in either army, more like a dress sword used on civic occasions. The belt is such as used by guard officers, of light material, with emblem of C. S. A. with what appears to ba like silver chains fastened to belt to hold sword in place. "The carved ivory hilt is moulded with ancient helmet, with small chains in place of guard. "The sword is of usual length and thickness and is engraved and stamped thu3, 'Ames Mfg. Co., Chicopee, 1 Mass., and has a silver scabbord. After I got this sword I covered the scabbord with leather, not to hide, but to avoid theft, the belt and chains I did not use at all. I did not see the engraving on the scabbard until I was mustered out cf the service. On the scabbard is engraved, 'Lieut Gen. j Wade Hampton, C. S. A.' "This sword is in very fair condi? tion considering wear and usage. I was not a staff officer, simply of the left line. As I recollect we were on that day about 15 miles southwest of1 Columbia. I was not in Columbia at i all j "In telling yo" how I came by this j sword, I say I bought it, a simple fact, but do not for one moment infer that I would sell it to you or any living creatore. God forbid I "But if you, as representing the late Gen. Wade Hampton, are satisfied and certain that this was your father's sword, I will cheerfully return it to you at once; but I want satisfactory evidence that you are the person you represent. ' ' To this letter Mr. Hampton wrote Mr. Major again, thanking him for his courteous letter and generous im? pulse. He suggested that the sword be delivered to him through Gov. Heyward as a matter of formal and easy identification. This was done, and the governor received the sword on Friday last and handed it to Mr. Hampton on the following day.-The State.
