Wrecking Train to Replace Can ami Repalf Damage. Atlantic Const Line train No. 14 from Columbia to Florence was de? layed about one hour and a half Sat? urday morning on aecounl of a wreck to pari of the tr iiit at the Junction with the Southern Railway near the w. stern part of the city. No one was Injured ami comparatively little damage was done. A new engine was attache! to the train and other bag? gage and express couches taken on before lue train could leave town. The wreck occurred about T.iio When Iba train was coming into the cits from Columbia. The cause of the wreck had not been ascertained Saturday morning, although i* was thought that it could be found out when the wrecking train succeeded in putting the cats Lack on the track. Tin passeng? "s were in no was alarmed by the occurrence and -as.' for a slight jolting up suffered no inconvenience. The wrecking train arrived from Floren? e about 1 o'clock and went at once to the scene. It was learned that the derailed oars might have been replaced on the track without the aid of the wrecking force, but it was feared that they might be dam aged and to avoid the risk the force was ordered. As soon as the tender of the engine and the two cars are replaced the track which was torn Up for about thirty feet will be re? placed.

Governor's Montage Criticising Find? ings in Peabody Fund Probe starts Discussion In Houso, Daring which Member from Rlchland Raises Question of Quorum ? Only it; Present* Columbia, March <"?.?The House "blew up'* today, it was entirely un? expected and unnecessary. Time and auain the House has adjourned when it had finished up its work, without calling for a roll, which fixed the status of the membership In attend? ance. The S?nate followed the House s action, both deciding to meet again al 10 o'clock tomorrow morn? ing. When the House met this afternoon at 3 O'clock Mr. Vender Hoist moved that a Committee be appointed to wait on the Governor and advise him that the House had completed its work and was ready to adjourn. The message was not sent and this is the reason why: Two message! or communications were In hand; one was read, without any trouble, It was ordered printed in the Journal and that was the end of that communication from the Gov? ernor. In this lir.^t message he pointed out that there was likely to he trouble about the magistrate's bill, which was handed him on the last day before the recess. He pointed out that In one place a magistrate was to be paid $500, but it was not stated for how long this was. It wa?s also suggested that the magistrate's bill may give the Governor the right to appoint new officers and on that he was not quite certain but he wished to advise the General Assembly of the possibility of appointing other magistrates in certain counties, than those confirm? ed. This was all plain sailing. Then there was a message in which excep? tion was taken to the expression of the Mitchell investigating committee to the words that the Governor had been "misinformed." The Governor Insisted in the special message that he had not been misinformd and that everything he had said about Dr. Mitchell had been verified, in that he had signed tho petition that was in? corporated In the published minutes and report of the majority commit? tee. The message suggested that a white? wash brush had evidently been used by the majority of the committee to mark out the petition and then to paint it hack again, and altogether U appeared to be a joke if there was not such an Important issu*?white su? premacy?involved. The finding of the majority Of the committee?Sena? tors Watson and Young, and Messrs Nicholson ami Welch?did not suit the Executive and he insisted that it was unwarranted by the testimony as he viewed it. Mr. Ashley, who had filed a minority report and one in line with the VleWI of the BXeCUtlVOi moved that the message be printed in the Journal. Mr. Bvans, of Marlboro, moved that the message lie referred to the com? mittee on education and therefore not be printed, for the present at least Mr. Ashley then insisted that the Gov? ernor was exactly right and that the majority of the Mitchell committee was wrong and he thought the com? mittee had either used the white wash brush or was itself mistaken ami he saw no Impropriety in print? ing the message. Mr. Bvans, with much feeling, said that he was unafraid of "down? stairs" and that he was not going to stand such methods any longer. He said he had SSjt and stood it for tWO or three years, but when the Gover? nor reflected on members of the j House and said they used whitewash I and did not deal justly with the facts, that he for one would protest and in? sist upon a record being made of those who agreed to such opinions. it looked as if there was ^oing to be legislative trouble and Mr. Brice Suggested that the message in- printed Jand that tin- committee be given leave to print a reply. Mr. Bvans said this was not what be wanted, ami he for ono protested agalnsi the House agreeing to record such a message in its Journal. Mr. I Ashley Insisted that the Governor had as much right to say what he did as the committee did to say that the <; ?vernor had been misinformed. Just as a < iack of thumb r from the sky ami without any special reference to the pending discussion, Mr. Miller, of Columbia, said: "I raise the ques? tion "I 0 t|Uorum, Mr. Speaker." In a minute a dosen members were at hl> nlde and begged htm to withdraw his motion, as Mr. Kvans, Mr, Ashley ami others were about to get together, it was thought. Mr. Miller said he was oppo ed to trying to work without a ?(Horum and Insisted Upon his call for I 11ill?1 am.

He would not permit the motion to be withdrawn, after the vote had been taken and been record? ed, nor would lir entertain any mo? tion other than one to have the ab? sent members sent for, and this was done. Mr. Mayes and Mr. Tillinghaat were directed to telegraph the absent members and tomorrow at 10 o'clock the House will make another try to see if sixty-three members are in attendance, otherwise another day will have to be devoted to finding the members.
