marked down as not for presentation
to the public.
"Why in h-should I notice Fow?

tones, when th< proof sheets of the
Vowler denunciation were handed
him.
However. TJr.ele Joe read every word
?1 It, and h? w need perceptibly at

"To thone who have the patience to
read thlM letter. If any such there be."
he said, It will appear that when in

and Currency, to his mind I became
thoroughly selfish and generally a

"V.'lll you speak specifically of any

"Why In the h- should I an?

DUEL ON KING STREET.
Well Known Cliarlestonians Exchange
shot* at Early Hour?No Casultles
1 twul i,
Charleston, Aug. 26.?Two well
known men had a pistol duel at an
early hour this morning on King
street, near Wentworth, but neither of
the participants was hurt, and fortu?
nately the stray bullets did not strike
anybody or do other damage, as far
as could be learned today. It is un?
derstood that bad blood has been ex?
isting between the men for some tim.
Once before they had a shooting
scrape and this morning the trouble
broke out again, with the result that
they exchanged several shots. The
quiet of the streets at the early hours
of morning alone prevented probably
the death or injury of innocent par?
ties. No arrests were made, the par?
ticipants of the affair getting out of
the way of the police officers on the
beat.

?I*risoners Decapitated.
Lisbon. August 26.?Special dis?

Morocco, saV the fighting is general
on the Moroccan coast. The new
Spanish artillery has wrought terrible
havoc among the Moors, who have
l?st 1,000 men in the last three days
The Spanish casualties amount to 350.
A Spanish column has destroyed three
villages near Restinga.
A Moorish deserter, who has come
into the Spanish lines, declares tluit
Spanish prisoners, after being horri?
bly tortured and mutilated are decap?
itated, and their bodies flung into a
hole on Mount Guruga. This hole is
a mass of decomposing corposes.
Estimates place the number of Span?
ish prisoners at 1.00Q.
The water being doled out to the!
Spanish troops is insufficient.
The officers buy mineral waters, but i
this the men cannot afford to do, and i
f
driven by their overwhelming thirst.,
they have drunk from stagnant pools.
Many cases of poisoning have result?
ed. Already fifty men have died from
this cause, and 170 have been sent to
hospitals.

week tf day when Paulhan, the plucky

Charleston, Aug. 2G.?Chief Con?

today 81 gallons of whiskey to the
seizures of this week, aggregating
about 800 gallons in four days. About
r.n gallona were taken at the foot of
drove street, where the liquor had
probably not long before been landed
fr?m a boat on the Ashley river, and
the rest of the haul was taken in case
g >ls from the office of the South?

ures which the police departmenthae
made, as stated in The State this
morning, the blind tigers ia- ?? been hit
a hard blow this week. It was said
by one blind tiger this morning that
it is not so much the loss of the vaiae
of the liquor, but of the money which
he had been paying for "protection"
money had been paid but there is no
question of the fact that his losses
were a source of some concern to
