PALMETTO POINTERS ANSWER OF THE STATE. It Is Denied That Any Const It utloual truest ion Is Involved. The return to the rule of injunction in the United States circuit court ia ' tbe case of James Donald was tiled by the state at Charleston. This whs a rule to show cause why there should not be issued a writ preventing the constables from making seizures of liquor hauled into this state and intended for private consumption and not for sale or burter. The return was presented to tbe court by Mr. W. Oibbes-Whaley, on behalf of the attorney general. Tn general the return says: "1. That they fthe constables) submit that the bill presents uo questions arising uu<|cr the constitution or laws of the United Btates giving jurisdiction to this honorable court. "2. That they submit that the hill presents no case u pou which the jurisdiction of equity can be founded, as there are plain and adequate remedies at law for the correction of any of th" matters and things allege^l if tho said allegation be tru-\ 'd. That they submit that the bill is defective in its allegations and does not state a ( case coming within the jurisdiction of the court. "4. That they submit that this in effect is a suit against tho state of South Carolina in violation of the eleventh amendment to the constitution oi tm? i niico oiui:s an<i mo cmirt has no jurisdiction." It also domes several allocations, paragraphioally, <?f the order and admits a few which it defends. No dclinite date has been set for the reopening of the ease. A similar ease is (lendinc before Judge GolY, in the same eourt. at Columbia. Memorial Day ut Anderson.

At least fifty people un> believed to have been kilbsl in the terrible cyclone that passed over Sioux City, Iowa, and vicinity, last Fri <lay. No one as yet can tell how much the loss of life is, or how extensive the damage until reports from the outlying districts have been received. The telegraph wires in the devastated section are all down and authentie information is hard to get. Three school houses are known to have been demolished. and two teachers and several pupils killed. The names of those known to be killed or missing are; Mamie S. Haggle and live brothers killed near Sioux Centre; Mrs. John Kerster. near Sioux Centre. H'*r child was blown away and Is not yet found; Anna Marsden, teacher in the Coombs school, near Irou town; Geo. Marsden, brother to Anna, teacher in another school, near Irontowu; Clias.

A-diton, S.bl -v iud L"inar-< were almost directly in the path of the cyeloije. A pitiful feature >! the disaster is the number >f youthful 11v - lost by ill ? cruel winds. Three sehoollioiises near s.ouv Centre were destroyed while school was in progress and at each one from three to ten children were carried from a piarter to half ;? mile before they alight *d. Two little daughters of J no. Hester, a farmer near the Sioux Centre, were picked up a> they were leaving the school house and dashed in a wire I'euoe where both were killed. Cue house was carried over the tops of trees, across the Sioux river and uuwn wIIiiiiiiw tut* aim'^ Trues fourteen inches in diameter were twisted off or torn up by the roots.

The manifest improvement in many lines of general trade has resulted in an increase in the volume of business, notwithstanding the impending idleness of "J.000 llkode Island worsted mill operatives and many in other industrial lines. Industrial unrest now takes th'* form of striking for higher wages. La.-t week about 60.000 industrial employees have struck and the tendency does not seem to be checked. About 3.000 people are reported to have obtained higher wages without striking. April bunk elearings reflect improved demand for staph .- and enlarged speculation in stoeksaud bouds, wheat, petroleum aud cotton in a monthly aggregate, which is, with two exceptions, the largest reported since June, 1803. Total April tourings at ill cities are $4,232,322. 999, a gain over 1894 of 14 per scut, and over March this year of 5.5 per cent. The increase over February is 25 |>or cent. Three-fourths of all the cities reporting show iner -iises over April, 1*94, special improvement being noted iu the Ea.-t-m and Middle States and in the South and Southwest.

The Belt Lino Railroad Tunnel, one of tho most remarkable engineering feats of mod- | ern times, whieh has been built under llalti- . more from Camden station to Bay View Junction on the Philadelphia division of the Baltimore and Ohio Itnilrend, a distance of sev- 1 en and a half miles, was formerly opened for business Friday morning. The llrst train to make tli*< trip under the new schedule was ! the royal blue express, No. 514. Hereafter I there will be no transferring of luisaenger ! trains across the Potomac River. It was intended to have the electrical equipment of the tunuel completed in time for tho inaugural train, but the thna? electric locomotives have not yet arrived and coke burning locomotives will la? used to propel trains for the present. By the use of electric locomotives (which weigh ninety-live tons each) which will probably be in readiness by June 1, th" < t- IIIIII "I t'UIl l)?

The oonvoyan*** of the j our rout to electric locomotives of such great ; power has never before boon attempted or even approached ;uid much interest, there- : fore, attaches to this part of the plant. lu j addition to doing away with the inconvenience ami consequent loss of time in making transfers by steamer at Canton, the belt line will provide other facilities, for which the Baltimore and Ohio Company has greatly felt tli" need and will llgure largely in reducing the annual expenses. There will also bo a great saving of time in passenger train sch sliiles between Washington, Philadelphia and New York. Th Baltimore and Ohio summer schedule, which will go iuto effort on May 1"2. will undertake to run royel blue trains ?<'tween Philadelphia and Washington iti two and a half hours. The tunnel lias been in course of construction nearly IIvu years, and coot $8,000,000. AN KXPKRI FORCiICR. S. C. Dickson, of (1 reenville, S. C., Has I3cen at it For Years. At Greenville. S.

H * turned mortgages on real estate | to secure forced notes payable to himself | and deposited these with bankers and mouey lenders as security for loans. The number of forced aud false deeds will never be known, as he kited, taking up 1 \ forgeries with uew ones, using new names aud imw lands for each transaction. When pressed by ilv- holder.- of ins paper he could always produce new deeds and new mortcac?'s to renew the old. The losses of hold* er> >f his forced papers will amount to from 4 l-2.000 to 420,000. Dickson did not give tho 43,000 i ond required for his appearance at court and pleadiug guilty to the ludictnifcnt, he was jailed. A BLOODY TRAGKDY. An injured Husband Killed Ills Wife and Her Lover.

That is virtually a life term, for See rest is now quite well advanced in years. This is the conclusion of ?>n?? of the most remarkable eases iii the iTimiiml record of that State. It was *20 y^'iiri ntp), wh?n 8<*erest's wife ami child \vi'r>' murdered at Seorc.-t'e. homo, in Burke county. Suspicion at once pointed to 8eerest as tin* murderer, aud lie was arrested.

They wilt now be returned to tin* it rave. Sourest will no to the penitentiary to live out his days, and the last chapter of a famous murder case is closed. INCOME TAX ILLEGALLY PAIR. Justice White's View About the Hun dreds of Millions. The dissenting opinions of Justices Flnrlan aud White, of tho Supremo Bench, in the income-tax decision, were distributed at Waahiugtou on Monday. That of Justice White comprises nearly *20,000 words. After concluding that a tax on rents is not a tux on real estate, he says this on the necessity of strictly preserving the continuity and consistency of judicial decision: "The injustice and harm which must ;ili ways result from overthrowing a long and settled practice, sanctioned ay the decisions of this court, could not he hotter illustrated than by the example which this case affords. I Under the income-tax laws which prevailed ! in tlie past for many years, and which covered every conceivable source of income, rentals from real estate, and everything else, vast sums were collected from the people of the United States. The deeision here rendered announces that those sums were wrongfully taken, and thereby, it seems to me, create a claim in equity and good conscience against the government for an enormous till1 Ml ! 11 i}l III' ?11' > . "Thus, from the change of view l>y this , court, it happens that an act of Congress, passed for the purpose of raising revenue in strict conformity with the practice oi the I government from tlte earliest time, and in accordance with the oft-repeated decision* of this court, furnishestho oceasion for erenting a claim against the government for hundreds of millions of dollars. I say creatine'* claim, heeunso if the government he in good conscience hound to refund that which has been taken from tic; citizens in violation of the Constitution, although tho technical right may have disappeared hy lapse of time, or heeause the decisions of this court have misled the citizen to his grievous injury, the fuputy endures, and will present itself to the conscience of the government. This consequence shows how it is that the courtshould not overthrow its past decisions." Vowder Mills Blow If p.
