Qenrral Round-tp at Bummertou?
IVo ParaoJU in the Ihutch.
S jii,in. i tun. Sept. 17??-There has
bfen "Weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth" among the blind
tigers of this community. For some
long time past they have waxed fat
by reason of their trade. But the
day of reckoning has come, and the
whole crew are sadder and wiser
men us a result.
Some days ago the intendant. ii.
A. Tisdale, sought the services of
a detective agency of this State that
has been particularly successful in
following the trail of the tiger. Two
operators were sent here and quiet?
ly set to work. The tigers had be?
come so numerous and so bold that
It was mere child's play to find them
out. On yesterday warrants were is?
sued for a full dozen offenders, all
aegroes. They were given a hear?
ing before Intendant Tisdale and
heavy tines were imposed in most
caiee. Among those arrested were
some of Summerton's best known ne?
groes including two licensed "preach?
ers." The situation had become
scandalous, and the thanks of the
whole community Is extended to the
authorities for their efforts to break
up the illegal selling of whiskey. The
planters about here Und the utmost
difficulty In getlng hands to pick
their cotton, partly due to the fact
that whiskey waj freelj .-<>id and
freely bought by the negro men,
whose services are needed in the
fields. Fines to the amount of about
$100 were collected at the trials,
there being a conviction in all cases,

WRECK.
This Theory Apparent^ Confirmed
by Investigation of Damage to
Bottom of Siiip.
llabana, Sept. 27.?Six more bodies
were discovered today in the wreck
of the Maine?, making, with the four
yesterday, a total of 84 bodies since
the beginning of the present work.
All bodies v/ere past recognition.
The salient feature of the wreck
! as at present disclosed, is that a huge
section of the double bottom was
hurled many feet above its normal
position and thrown aft from the
bow, anil gives apparent continua?
tion to the theory of an external ex
plosion.
