Apoplexy In the Water.

ATLANTIC Cry, July 6.-Rev. Father
Kelly, of st. Michaels Catholic Church,
Philadelphia, died in the surf hele just
before noon to-day. He had been stop
ping at the Wyoming House, and while
bathing With company of ladies was
seized with an apopletic fit, and died al
most instantly. He vas an expert swim
mer. and his feats in the waves attracted
large party. Suddenly he threw bis
hands up and his head fell back on the
breakers. Immediate assistance was rem
dered, but he was dead before be could be
taken on shore The body was sent to
Philadelphia on the afternoon train. Ru-
mors that he was drowned are without
foundation. His head at no time was
under the water, and he was not over his
depth when he died. His neck was great
ly discolor,d with purple and green bands.
He was ABOUT 80 years old, and was well
known in the northern part Of Philadel-
phia.

Important from Cuba.

The New York Sun says: The following
important information has just reached
us from Havana
Captain General Pieltain, at meet
ing which he summoned of the colonies
and lieutenant-colonels Of the various regl-
ments Of volunteers Of this city, addressed
these representatives of the volunteer or
ganizations as follows Gentlemen, 1 have
called you together fora most serious pur-
pose. I am instructed by the Government
of Spain, which I represent in this island,
to suppress the revolution now raging here
by every means at my disposal. Spain
can send here no more soldiers. She has
already sacrificed the flower of her army
in vainly endeavoring to suppress this
Cuban revolution The forces at present
in the field are clearly inefficient Tor the
purpose They are decimated day by day,
and there remains but one method Of sal
vation. call upon you, upon the officers
and members of every regiment Of volun-
teers OF this city except those absolutely
indispensable for the garrisoning Of the
forts, to come out with me, and together
we will, once for all, terminate this wicked
rebellion. Ny horse is ready saddled, and
/ am prepared to lead you at any moment.
Tomorrow shall receive from New York
three thousand Remington rifles, with am
pie ammunition. which shall be distribu-
ted to arm every man in your ranks, and
on the following day We will start for the
campaign
"The officers, in reply, stated that the
volunteer organizations had been formed
not for the purpose of taking the field, but
to afford TO the Spanish government means,
by garrisoning the cities Of the island, by
which all other forces could be set at lib
erty for use against the rebels in the field.
" At length Captain-General Pieltain.
seeing that no arguments that he could
use would induce the volunteers to 90 out
and face The enemy, said: well, gentle
men. since you, the only possible means
by which can hope to suppress the revo-
luton, fail me. must comply with the
instructions CT the government provided
for such not unforeseen event. These
instructions are that | at once put myself
in communication with Carlos Manuel de
and accept from him whatever
conditions he may dictate, except the in

Tbee Ra,lroad convention In Abbeyille..


Six weeks or two, months ago, our es-'
teemed contemporary, the Beaufort Re
publican, proposed that the citizens of
Beaufort, Barnwell, Edgefield, Abbe--
Vile and Anderson should unite in hold.
ing Railroad Convention at Abbeville
Court House, in behalf of the contem-
plated route between Chicago and the
Seaboard of or State. In seconding and
upholding this proposition. we named
the 18th of August as wise and availa-
BILE day for the meeting of such Con-
vention, and our friends of Anderson
and Abbeville having adopted our sug-
gestion, the Convention will assemble at
the said time. The Anderson Inleltigen-
cen and the Abbeville Press q Banner
cordially approve the meeting and pledge
the earnest cooperation Of their people
in the enterprise.
In another column will be found call
to the people Of our own County TO as
semble in our Court House on Saleday
next, for the purpose of choosing dele
gates to this Conventions call which
should set the citizens of Edgeield to
thinking very seriously. rs regards the
ultimate and even speedy completion of
the great railroad line in contemplation,
there can be very little doubt; but as re-
CARDS Edgefeld being embraced in the
said line, there is no such certainty.
Such a glorious consummation must
depend upon Edgefeld's energy, enter
prise and liberality. Therefore let us
meet in full force in response to this
call, and send to Abbeville men strong
in intellect, in speech, in will, in spirit
of enterprise. and in love Of their native
section. And let these men fight for
Edgefeld, and be empowered to pledge
Edgefeld's hand, heart, and money!
We must not allow this grand Road to
be completed and Edgeield to be left out.
If we do we sink into eternal stagnation
and insigniicance.
And in conclusion, let us warn our
people that if ,be do not build oar owo
portion of this line, no one else '0iU proba-
5ty build it 10, as.

@- Woman suffrage has met with a
decided repulse. After rising to the dig
nifty OF caiIa debate; after escaping the
period of ridicule, 1t tried q practical test
and has been defeated in the courts. This
is bad for Susan B Anthony, and bad for
the cause apparently; but tho reaction
may set in strong enough to establish it
on firm basis at no distant day. One
thing is serta!n. whenever the true wo
men of the colintiy i4aite il asking for
the privilege OF casting the BALLOT they
will be certain to get it. Hitherto they
have not done it. The request must come
from more influential sources than few
old maids and long haired reformprs with
more spectacles than common sense.
