FATAL ACCIDENT.

A sad and fatal aocldent occurred on
the Port Royal railroad last Friday re-
suting in the instant death of Nlillard
Seals, son of John II. Seals editor of
the Sunny South of Atlanta. The de-
ceased was one of large party of ex-
cursionists on their way from Atlanta to
Port Royal to visit the fleet, and at the
time of the accident was on tine steps of
the passenger car and while passing over
the trestle work at Salt Water bridge a
projecting piece OF timber struck the step
throwing the young man off, who, it is
thought, in falling struck his head on
some of the timbcrs, the blow rendering
him sense!css. From the bridge he fell
into the river and before the train could
be stopped he was drowned. His body
was found after short search and taken
to Port Royal, from where it was shipped
the next morning to his home. DR..
Johnson detained the train ut the depot
long enough to hold an inquest, the jury
rendering n verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
MIR. Seals, we are informed was an only
son and a yonth of great promise. He
was student in college preparing to
enter the ministry in the Baptist church.
The car in which he WAS riding at the
time of the accident belonged to the
Georgia railroad and the steps being
lower than those Of the Port Royal cars
struck til: timber over which the Cars oil
the Port Royal train pass In safety.

The strike on the rice fields has ended
and work has been resumed at the old
rates, the only sufferers from the fasco
being the laborers Who have lost several
weeks wages and from actual want Of
food were obliged to 60 to work. They

obnoxious tickets which were partly the
cause Of the strike. Representative

A fearful tragedy at the Hotel last
Saturday threw our quiet town into n
state of great excitement and the anxiety
10 know the full particulars soon caused
q crowd to gather around the doors of
the building. At about half past FIVE
persons on the second floor heard noise
AS of something heavy falling on the door
overhead, and soon after cne of the hall
f'oys who had entered the room gave the
alarm that Mrs. Caroline 8. Smith, wife
of Capt. F. r. Smith of the monitor
Saugus, had either tainted or was sick
and was lying on the floor helpless. At
once assistance was sent and Mrs. Smith
found on the floor and on being raised
by her husband, who had been sum-
moned from the lower floor. she was
found to be covered with blood. DR..
Stuart was called and upon examination
found bullet hole through her body
from which her life blood Was fast
ebbing away. The lady fingered few
moments during which she endeavored to
speak but was unable to do so when she
Gied in great agony. A pistol was picked
up on the floor near where she was found,
from which no doubt the bullet had been
fired, which was heavy navy breech-
loader carrying an ounce ball. A coroners
inquest was held by DR.. johnson and
after an all night session the jury returned
verdict that Mrs. Smith came 70 her
death from the effects ofa pistol shot
but whether fired by herself or some one
else they were unable to determine. The
remains were buried on Sunday ID the
Episcopal church yard, she having been
an Episcopalian, the only services being

months old. We hope next week to be
able to give more particulars in regard
to this case, ii, as Is asserted. the grand

TIL E TRIB U N E.

The meeting at Varnvllle last week to
call the attention Of the people to the fact
that the iaboring classes are really in
want, will, no doubt, result in relieving
many destitute and deserving faimcrs
The committee authorized to receive dona
tions as composed Of some of our best
citizens, who will see to it that the relief
rs afforded to the most deserving. Owing
To the drought last year the small farmers
lind their provisions exhausted much
earlier than usual and the large planters
having suffered from the same cause arc
unable to give employment to as many as
usual, and the result is that the small
planter who has planted his crop is en-
t'rely out Of provisions, and should he,
1t this time, abandon his growing crop
to seek for work the result would
I've the entire loss of his labor and much
worse condition of things the coming
year. There are many instances of actual
want where the families are composed OF
women and children and their condition
appeals to the charitable for instant
relief.
Much distress might be relieved by the
payment by the county treasurer of the
balance due on teachers claims, the pay
ment Of which is withheld TOR no reason
that can be found out except that while
In his factors hands it draws a lively
interest. The amount of this fund on
hand amounts at present to about five
thousand dollars and as many of the
holders of the claims are women some
thing shold be done to compel Mr..
Holmes to let go the hard earned wages
of the holders of these claims, and thus
in many instances place many suffering
persons in comparative affluence.

THE STARVING POOR.

YARNvILLE, June 1.-Pursuant to u
public call the citizens of Beaufort
County met at Varnville ON the 3Olh day
Of May, to take into consideration the cx-
treme destitution of the people, ami to
devise some plan whereby an alienation
of the sufferings may be obtained. Henry
Goethe, Esq, was requested to act as
chairman and j. o. H. Sanders as secre-
taIy.
The Hon. James E. DeLoach then ad-
dressed the meetiug, representing in a
feelingly sad manner the dread full results
that may be occasioned by the continu-
ance of the present state of the people,
and introduced the following preamble
and resolution:
Whereas, it has come to our knowledge
that many good, honest and worthy citi-
zens of our county are in starving con-
dition, i'll consequence OF the failure OF
crops the last year caused from drought.
Therefore be it
Resolred, That committee of five be
appointed who shall be stated O COM
mittec on relief, whose duty shall be to
ask aid from all who have charity for
their fellow men and are willing and able
to contribute something to the relief of
the destitute who are without bread,
means or credit, and that the said COM
mittee make immediate application
where they think best and by the most
practicable means to accomplish this end
The preamble and solution were un-
animouslY adopted, and the following
gentlemen appointed the committee on
relief Col. A. McB. Peoples, Rev. II. c.
Smart, Hon. James E. DcLoach, George
Fl. Hoover, Esq, and the Rev. Mr..
Stevens.
subcommittee were then appointed,
consisting of one from each township,
whose duty shall be to receive all appli-
cations for relief In their respective town
ships, and transmit them to the COM
mittee on relief.
The following gentlemen compose these
committees: Capt. W. j. Gooding, for
Peoples Township, James W. Moore ESQ
for Coosawhatchie, Rev. w. II. shuman

Four CANDIDATEs.-The Republican,
party now possesses four dictinctIy defined,
and very conspicuous candidate.
There is Oliver =. Morton, Of Indiana,
the greem5ack, initiation candidate.
There is James G.. Blaine Of Maine, the
hard money, anti Catholic candidate
There is Conkling of New York. the can
ddate of the Republican party in this
State, of Boss Shepherd and of Boss Grant
IN case Grant cannot get the nomina
tion himself
And there is L. 8. Grant. the anti Cath
olc, hard money, soft-money, crooked
whiskcy, straight whiskey, third term can
didate
Besides these, there are several others of
less prominence, such as Gov. Morgan of
New York, the conservative Republicans ::
and B. slI. Bristnw of Kentucky, the can
didate Of moral reform, and anti-stealing
Republicans.
1t is interesting TO consider that the
strongest passion and the most determined
sentiment to which either of these caudi-
dates appeals, is the anti Catholic passion
and the anti-Ca.holic sentiment. In this
respect, and in this alone, Grant and Blaine
are competing with each other but which
of them is the stronger in the support of
the anti-Catholic party time only can de-
termine.
1t must also not be forgotten that in all
the hundrcdth years of our national ex-
istence no member of the Senate has ever
been elected President, although con
sidcrably number Of Senators have much
coveted that distinctions. 1t would be
curious if the Centennial year should see
the first departure fIom this traditional dis
ability Of the Senate through the election
either Of Mr.. Morton or Of Mr. Conkling.

old coins and currency, which are real curl

also exhibited several samples of the Daper

thus:

An ODD HIDING PLACE.-A few weeks
ago Jacob klinck, farmer, near Fox

off close to the ground, and they had cvi-

roots. and the wood had grown over and
closed them. The watch was old fashioned

once stood near by and it is supposed that
the articles in question were buried during
the war Of the Revolution. The watch was

he at once dispat chod an orderly, with the

and escaped with the booty; AS soon as
Pickett heard of the desertion lie immedi-
ately went to Richmond, and by \ mort
gage on his Turkey Island property sue
ceeded i'll borrowing %, 600, which lie car
ried to Tie prisoner with an explanation Of
and apology for the delay. The officer,
when lie learned by what means the Gener-
al had raised the money, declined to accept
one thousand dollars OF it a; but with that
nice sense of honor wich distinguished the
true Southern gentleman, General Pickett
compelled him to do so. The two soldiers
then talked over the brave old days Of the
past, when together they fought under the
same flag, and as the conversation ripcncd
iuto friendly confidence, the prisoner frank
ly told the General that his object was 10
escape, if possible, and that he intended
using some of the money he had given him
in the effort. The General checked him at
once by telling him that lie could not
ccive his confidence in such q matter /; that
the money was his own, and that he had a
right TO do with it as he pleased, but it
would be emproper for him to become a
party to his plans. He then left. The
prisoner did escape. The war ended disas-
tIiously to the South, and General Pickctt's
estate was sold to satisfy the mortgage
which he had executed to pay Federal
prisoner in his hands the money which had
been stolen from him by the connivancc of
