VALUE OF TIE SIGNAL SEEv1cE-The Glou-
cester Advertiser says: "Not long since,
On perfectly calm day, with clear sky,
about S1ty vessels were seen lying at anchor
in one of our harbors, on account of a
coming storm predicted by the weather bu
reau. How many lives were saved by this
single prediction it is impossible to say, but
one such occurrence alone, is sufficient to
justify I'll the expense the Government has
incurred in establishing and maintaining the
service. 1t ms been clearly shown that, if
we had had cable communication with the
Island Of st. Thomas and a signal station
there, we should have known of the cyclone 3
recent visit to the Florida coast three days in
advance of lis coming, and most of the yes
sells which encountered it would have taken
refuge in time in some harhor. The service,
as it is already organized, is OF incalculable
advantage to farmers ami seafarers."

was some business affair between them. Did
not know Of any il-feeling or unfriendiness
between them. Clinebell was across the road.
Do not know whether anybody searched his
pockets before did OF not.
.. 3. Zimmerman called =: I was with the
party. First knew Of the matter was the
report Of a pistol. Looked around and Car
son was in the act OF shooting the second
time. lie then started to run. | went to
him, took the pistol, and took him to town.
l brought the pistol to town. being shown
the pistol the witness identified it, I eX-
amincd the pistol and found three barrels
loaded, two discharged, and two caps ex-
ploded.
r. A. Palmer called: I was about fifty
wards in the field with Miss Smith. Heard
two reports and saw Clinebell fall. Heard no
other noise than that coming from the pistol.
Saw Carson in the store before; did not see
Clnebell He was going to school in
Grecnvilc.
Stuart Mcclure called: 1 was about fifty
yards distant from the parties at the shoot
inc, in the direction of Greenville. Saw
Clinebell when he was shot. Did not see
Carson until he came up out of the bars.
saw Clinebcll in town about ten minutes
before he was shot. He rode up the road in
front of me. l went to school,, and school
was out. Clincbcll rode slowly down the
street, and asked me if had seen Carson. /
told him / thought he was i'll Vines shop.
He went in there, but Carson had gone with
Fitch. He then mounted and rode up the
street. When shot he had lis right arm
through his bride rein. l think only the
first shot took effect, rs at the second l saw
the dirt rise in the field as if q bullet had
struck there. I remained with Clinebcil
until he was removed to town. Do not
know OF anything being taken from his body.
Cl,nebell could have ridden up to Vines
shop. In hitching his horse and going there
he went farther than he would have had to
go if he had ridden up to the shop. When
Clinebell got on his horse he asked boy to
hand him q split to whip his horse with. /
went out to play croquet. Did not know OF
any difficulty between them. I do not re-
member that amy one told Clinebell that
Carson had gone up the road. I did not
speak to him as he went back. He went up
the road towards his home.
Miss Annie Smith called: was next to the
first couple. Mr.. Zimmerman and Miss
Hutcbeson were in front. do not Ieme,n-
Der the time the party started from Green
