HOVSE DESTROY ET) BY FIRE.
Albert McLeod, the parter lor the
I>. J. Chandler Clothing Company, suf?
fered a severe loss Thursday morning,
w ien his house on South Sumter
street was destroyed by fire.
The fire commenced shortly after
live o'clock and the whole place was
ablaze when the department reached
the scene, although it turned out
promptly. The hoUM was near the
Southern limits of the city and the
nearest hydrant was several blocks
away, so that it was found useless to
stretch the hose, as it cot.Id not reach
the fire in time. The chemical engine
was used to extinguish the tire on
an adjacent house and preventing it
from burning. Much of tho furniture
and household goods were also de?
stroyed.
AN UNUSUAL CASE.
St. George, Nov. 2.?Suit has been
brought in the court of common pleas
for Dorchester county by Calhoun C.
Hilton aginst John W. lnllnger to re?
cover $10,000 damages for tho alleg?
ed alienation of the affections of Mrs.
Emmie 1). Hilton, the wife of the
plaintiff und for harboring the wife
of the plaintiff in the home of the de?
fendant. The plaintiff is represented
by Attorneys Joseph Murray and St.
Clair Muckenfuss of the St. George
bur, and in the complaint of the plain?
tiff It is alleged that the plaintiff was
married to Miss Emmie D. Suells
September 3, 1911, and that since that
time the plaintiff has lived happily
together with his wife; that she has at
all times been loving and affectionate
to him; Cint she was a great comfort
to him and that about October 22,
1913, the defendant John W. inflnger,
maliciously and wilfully entered the
home of the plaintiff and by false in?
sinuations against the plaintiff, and
other insidious wiles so poisoned her
affections from him as to Induce her
to leave her husband.
This is the first case of its kind ever
brought In this county ami possibly
the first of Its kind ever brought In
the State. It is stated that no case is
on record where the supreme court of
the State has ever passed upon such a
case. This case has already attracted
wide attention throughout the county
where both parties are very' popular
and well known.
gets money but no apology.
Walter J. McCarthy Sues Hull road
Man Whom he Mistook for "News
Butch."
Lexington, Nov. 11!.?A verdict for
$200 was returned by a Lexington
?ounty Jury In common pleas court to?
day in the case of Walter J. McCartha
against the Southern Railway com?
pany. This was one of the most un?
usual eases ever tried in the courts
of this State, according to attorneys
interested in tne case. The plaintiff
alleged that he was insulted by the
ticket collector, when he asked to
purchase a paper, taking the ticket
collector for the "news butch' by
mistake. He said that the collector
cursed him and otherwise humiliated
him In the presence of both white and
negro passengers. Mr. McCartha said
that after he had been insured and
when the colleetor approached him
for his mileage he stated to the train
man that he was honestly mistaken;
that he thought that he was the "news
butch," and that he thought that he,
the plaintiff, was due an apology from
the collector, whereupon the collector
again abused the plaintiff and refused
to make the apology. The plaintiff
testified that he then refused to al?
low the collector to "pull" his mileage
and later gave it to the conductor.
The ticket collector denied that he had
intentionally or otherwise insulted the
plaintiff; that the plaintiff did ask to
purchase a paper and that he told him
he was not the news "butch," but that
tho news butch would be around
shortly. George B. Cromer of counsel
for the railroad gave notice of a mo?
tion for a new trial, which will be ar?
gued later. The plaintiff asked for
$1,900.
rebels seize much money.
Mexico City, Nov. 12.?The rebels
last night began a campaign directed
at the lnerruptlon of traffic between
the capital and Vera Cruz. The first
efforts were highly successful, for
they seized silver bullion and currency
estimated to be worth nearly one mil?
lion pesos.
A train was held up on the main
line of the Inter-Oceanic Railway,
about one hundred miles from Mexico
City. Tho engineer and train crew
were beaten, but the passengers were
not mistreated to any great extent al?
though they were robbed of all their
valuables. From the express car the
rebels took a large quantity of silver
and currency which had been shipped
by the government, and a big silver
bullion consignment by the Real Del
Monte Company.

Intends to Call Meeting of Statesmen

ment.
Peking, Nov. 12.?President Yuan j
Shi Kai intends to summon an "ad f
ministrative council" which, in addi?
tion to transacting state affairs, will
draft regulations governing the new
parliament. The council will number
71 members, consisting of the cabinet
officers and others appointed by the
president, and the provincial govern?
ors who already have been appointed
by him.
Yuan Shi Kai considers the pres?
ent house of deputies an unwieldy
body and desires its reduction to 300
n.embers. The original number of
representatives was 596. The powers
of the parliament also will be ma?
terially curtailed and the senate gives
place to the administrative council.
The programme probably will be j
carried into effect if the president's
opponents are not able to bring about
its modification.
In the meantime the remnant of
parliament is permitted to continue
holding informal meetings but can do
no business because of lack of a
quorum.
S. C. SENATORS ON GOOD TERMS.

Washington, Nov. 12.?Both of the
South Carolina Senators were callers
at the White House to lay and saw
the president, but at different times.
The personal relations between the
senators axe now quite pleasant, ond
there is no doubt that Senator Smith
i
is gratified at the statement recently
made by Senator Tillman, declaring
that the junior senator baa served his
State well and ought by all means to
be re-elected .
