With an officers Mace.
Yesterday morning, about IL o'clock, =
bUrly negro named Perry Weller, went into
Rosenheim's dry goods store on North Col
lege street, and inquired the cost of sundTy
articles. Il is said he tried to get out Of
the house with a bolt Of calico, for which
he had left no equivalent, and that the
clerks caught him and got the
goods away from him. They also
attempted to detain him till
an officer could be sent for, but the negro
proving too strong for them, jerked loose
and fed. Officer Pitts happened to pass by
about this time, and on receiving infOrma-
ton Of what had occurred, at once started
of in pursuit of the negro. When Weller
ran out Of RUsenheim's store he bent his
course up College to Gay, and on reaching
that street turned into narrow alley. He
ran through a dwelling and hid himself in
a small house standing in the corner Of the
yard.
When officer Pitts came up an old color
ed woman admOnished him TO be on his
guard, as Weller was dangerous customer.
On advancing to the house in which be
was concealed, Weller swore be could not
be taken, and refused to open the door.
Officer Pitts, however, GOT inside, and then
A desperate struggle cOmmsnced. They
were in such close quarters that neither had
much advantage, but The officer get a chance
70 use his mace, snd he hit his antagOn-
list a staggering blow between the
ewes. He followed up this advantage 10y
Jerking the negro out into the yard, where
he still showed fight. The officer againTe-
sorted to the use Of his mace, aud had to

would suffer himself to be handcuffed.
Having put the nippers on his prisoner, he
marched him of to the wOrkhOuse, where
he was locked up until taken before JUS
tice Baskette in the afternoon. The trial
resulted in Weller being required to give
bond in the sum Of 500, for his appear
ance before the Criminal Court. In de-
fault Of this he was committed TO Jail.

A New Constitution Being Framed.
At the last session Of the Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows of this State, held in this
CITY last October, Messrs. e. Z. Gomez, Of
Livingston, Ii. W. Woodland, Of Fayette-
vile, and DR.. w. A. Smith, of the Column
bia Atheneum, were appointed a committee
to prepare new constitution for the Grand
Lodge and subordinate lodges in this State.
This committee has been in ses-
sion in this city since Tuesday
and will probably conclude their labOrs to-
day. They have made some charges which
will be quite an improvement upon the old
constitution. The new constitution will
be submitted to the Grand Lodge at its
next annual meeting for its consideration.
The changes that have been made are said
TO have been badly needed. The constitu-
ton will be printed when it is adopted by
the Grand Lodges.

THAT OLD BIRD PUGSLEY.
Where the Wickedness of the CagiDg
business Comes In.


business Comes In.
Dick Pugsley, the veteran hooking bird
dealer, sends US for publication the follow
ing open letter to "Lavergne:''
"Sympthathizing Layergne'; l see in the
issue Of the 29th inst your great sympathy
for the mOcking birds, which 1 was glad to
see, but hope that you will use that great
heart of sympathy in a difernt direction t
what you did in the bOve issue. For you
say it is a shame full and wicked business
to cage * buy * sell bird. But Sir Cor
miss, or Mrs, as 1t may be- l am bird
raiser & cage maker IL a minister Of the
gospel. q l Know by the teaching of the
holy bible that is rOng to cage IL COntind
old bird Of any kind: for they Know What
1t is to be in the forest d when Gagged crave
to be out. But not So with the bird that is
raised in the gage, for they are happy when
well treated: q will return to its cage a
gain if let out: So then cind Lavergne read
the y chapter q verse Of Deuteronomy
q greaye nOmOre Il Oblige yours.
"REY. r. PUGsLEY,D
We have no protest TO offer against the
enforcement of any kind of law, but we
wish to say that it does not look well for
the officers Of the law to sbounce" a mere
bird dealer, while they neglect to ferret ont
and punish crimes both habitual and he
nous IN our midst. Our doctrine is to COM
mence at the top and bring to Justice the
great before the small offenders, where it is
necessary to make any discrimination.
This remark has reference, of course, to the
arrest and lining OF Pugsley the other day.

IOry-A Capital OF $4,000 Invested
The Establishment Soon 10 be IN
der Full Roadway.
A UNION AND AMERICAN reporter
strOlled over into Edgetield yesterday and
took a look AROUND the Southern Pump
Factory. The company has erected On the
bank OF the river, a short distance north of
the railroad bridge, a building two hun
dred and eighteen feet in length by fifty
feet in breadth, and two stories in height.
On the first floor are the machines for
making lathS, shingles, etc, and portion
of the machinery used in the manufacture
of pumps. The second floor is used as
saw mill, and also contains q part of the
pump machinery. A brick addition ninety
six feet in length by tTenty-Seyen feet in
breadth and one story high, constitutes the
engine room, boiler room, fuel room, and
machine shop.
The engine is a Lane S BOdley, and Of
about one hundred and forty horse
power.
The company has bought thirteen acres
of ground surrounding their factory, and at
a safe distance from the present building,
they will soon begin the erection Of COM
IOQlOuS bIDIb lUODsJ LlliCC utALlutcu lCcL
long forty feet wide, and two stories high.
They will also construct track running
from the railroad to their stOre-rOOms.
This work will be commenced during the
coming fall. Ali the Improvements made
by the company will cost upwards OF
$4,000.
When the factory is in full operation it
will consume nearly fifteen thousand feet
of lumber per day and give employment to
between fifty and seyensy-dVe men.
The factory is now in Operation.but will
not be 10 full blast for a month. a con-
siderable amount Of machinery is already
on the ground, and will, ere long, be put
in working order. Pumps are the leading
article TO be manufactured, but the COM
pauy viii also make laths, shingles, water
pipe, etc. If anyone will go over to the
factory and see the energy and vim with
which the work is pushed forward he will
be easily convinced that such men are
bound to succeed.

LOST A LEG AND HIS LIFE.
Horrible Fate Of a Young Man Tending
on a ThreSher.
The Limb Ground Entirely on.


James Gaddis, a young man about
twenty-One years Of age, met with fatal
accident last Wednesday, while working. on
a thresher, on the farm Of Mark COckrill,
four miles from the city on the Charlotte
pike. About o'clock in the afternoon
while greasing a portion Of the machinery,
he got his left leg caught and pulled into
the opening into which the wheat is thrust
by the feeder. His leg and the greater part
of his thigh were ground of. Not parti-
Gle of the flesh could afLeTWard be found,
but only few small pieces Of bone.
His whole body would have been torn to
atoms had it not been for the fact that the
thTesher was running very slowly at the
time. Il was being run only fast enough
To regulate the machinery while waiting for
some wagons to arrive with wheat. james
Cockrill, who was running the thTesher,
heard Gaddis' cries aud stopped the ma
chine as quick as possible, which was done
almost in an instant. The unfortunate
Young man was taken a short distance from
the thresher and a tent hastily erected over
him. Benjamin COckrill prevented hem
oTage by tying a cord around the bleeding
stump. Two Church street surgeons
were Immediately sent for, and
they at once repaired 10 the
scene Of the accident. But the
sufferer never retracted from the shock to
his system and an amputation could not be
performed. Gaddis fingered till 4 o'clock
the next morning, when death relieved him
Of bis suffering. The deceased bore an
excellent neral character and was very
much liked BY all who knew him. He was
engaged 70 . young lady living in the COM
muuity and was 10 have been married in a
month. She with some relations Of GadGis
came out to where he was lying in the
field, and their mOUrnful lamentations
would have awakened sympathy in the
hardest heart. GaddiS expired very peace
fully, was rational almost up TO the time Of
his death, and said ne was willing to die.
Every attention was shown him, but all to
no purpose.
