vast number of people Of Ill classes.
1t gives the local authorities Of any place
the right to order the closing Of the bars Of

A FATAL FEUD.
FOUGHT QUE HH EEsGEFHEAEs, A. g.
DHEsE RESULTS or A FAMILY
QUARREL.
Three EEen Killed, One MOrtalHy wounded
and SIX others More or Less gHurt.


COLUMBIA, Aug. 13.--An old family feud In
Edgefield county eliminated last evening III
the violent death Of three men, the mortal
wounding Of another and more or less mutt
lation Of six others, tho latter Of whom be-
longed to that large, unfortunate class OF in
nOCentS known us spectators, always on hand
to catch stray bullets.
The feud had it's origin eight or ten years
ago, in the accidental killing Of g. young rnan
by the nnme Of Luther Toney, at the hands d
N. J. Booth. Ioney accompanied by several
members Of the Booth family, was on b hog-
tile visit to ono Abram Jones, and In the
course Of the quarrel, he was shot in the buck
and killed. TOney's relatives believed that
he had been fOully dealt with, prosecuted the
Booths, both OF whom they succeeded In hay
ing convicted OF rnanslaughter and sent to
the penitsntiary for o number Of years.
There has been bad blood between the two
families ever since, aud o quarrel resulted
some time ago in @ general fight, which, how
ever, was not attended by any fatal RESULTS
Both sides went armed on all occasions since.
Benjamin Booth, his brother James and
his nephew Thomas met Brooker Toney and
several Of his friends Ia O. barroom In Edge
field, and the quarrel was renewed, pistols
were drawn on both sides, and within D few
minutes twenty or thirty shots we're fired.
Brooker Toney was shot once through the
bowels, twice through the chest and three
times in the body and instantly killed. The
wounds were made by assailants In his rear.
and died within 81 few minutes. Thos. Booth
received one shot through the lungs aud was
killed instantly, and BENZ. Booth was shot
twice ln the chest and thigh, badly beaten
about the head and m0rtally wounded.
Mark Toney was shot In The side and badIy
wounded; W. L. Coleman, friend Of Toney,s,
was shot In the abdomen; s.. 5. Ryan wtss
wounded In the foot, Wade Lott In the arm
and Clarence Zeigler in the hand. The three
latter were lookers-on. Three others were
slightly wounded An the persons engaged
were whites.
Brooker Toney recently killed negro
United States marshal, Gus HARRIS In the
same village, but q few yards from where he
himself fell, for which offense he was under
bond for trial at the time OF his death. He is
said also to have killed another negro several
years ago, but the crime could not be fastened
on him
The participants In the bloody fight were
all ignorant men Of the lower class of farmers,
whose passions had been strained profoundly
by quarrels Of many years.

Vigorous Measures for the Mexican Bor.
der

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia morning paper
says: There is no longer any doubt In we'll
informed circles that the administration has
determined upon most vigorous measures re-
garding the Mexican border troubles. It is
measures will precipitate conflict between
the American forces on the Rio Grande and
the Mexican forces on the south side of that
river. It is shrewdly surmised that Gen.
Shermans trip to New Mexico may be ahan-
where in the vicinity of the border after Gen.
Mckenzie shall have returned from his next
sortie into Mexico It is not apprehended
that any difficulty that may ensue viii be Of
long duration, and the War,i 0ne ensues, will
be short sharp and decisive.

British Protectorate of Asaasie Turkey

sSEII&5M RF0EeCGOFaEE On ABaA91E turkey
James Bryce from the summit of Mount
Ararat had the largest prospect that ever
filled an English eye in Western Asia; and
from his library in London, owing to his
travels in the East, he now commands COM
prehensive view Of the scheme for second
Asiatic Empire. In q letter to the Daily l9esgs
he lays bare the holloWness Of the assumption
upon which the British protectorate is based.
The first assumption is that protection Of AR
menia and Mesopotamia is essential TO the
safety Of India, He contends that the road
from Russia to India does not lie through Ar
nenia, but through Northern Persia, or
through Iurkestan. The possession by Rus-
sia OF the whole Euphrates Valley from Ere
rOurn to the Persian Gulf would not bring her
q yard nearer to India, nor place Persia more
absolutely at her mercy than it now is. She
commands the Caspian, and II she wishes to
march to PeshaWur will start from the south
ton is that Russia seeks to annex territories
in Western Asia. Mr.. Bryce shows that the
probabilities are all against it. The country
is poorly and thinly populated; and The IN
habitants, whether Mahamnedan or Chris
tian, are alien to Russia in blood, speech and
faith. Besides If the lust OF territory for fhe#
sake OF territory possesses the Cars thev can
gratlfy 1t to their hearts content i'm Eastern
and Central Asia, where there is nothing ia
interfere with them. The conclusion fs that
Persia IS more vulnerable point than Ar
menia, and that II it Was really necessary to
prevent any province OF Turkey from falling
INTO Rus5lan hands, England could have done
tnat 1ar better by acting when the time came
than oy absolutely pledging herself FIJI ad~

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia committee OF Re
publcans from the second (NorfoIk) district
Of Virginia to-day called on the President and
requested the removal of Collector Braxton,
OF Norfolk, on the ground that he Is a Demo-
crat and appoints only Democrats and ex-
Confederates to office under him. They say
that the Republican party can make no fight
in the second district If Braxton is not re-
moved. The President said that he would
have the charges preferred against the col

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The United States
government, through Minister Foster, has
notified the Mexican Foreign Secretary, that
while not at all desirous of resorting to force,
the reluctant conclusion has been forced upon
it, that only by such an agency can the
border troubles be effectually settle. This
does not necessarily mean war; the resort to
force will be put off to the very last moment,
there will be no notifications whatever of
this determination.

CentripetaI Railway system.

The New York Board of Trade and Transportation has issued a pamphlet
 describing the centripetal railway system devised by MT. Albert G. Buzby. This consists essentially of a substan- tial permanent way, composed of a center bearing rail and two outer or steadying rails, combined with distance or brace pieces so as to form one con tinuOus structure. The cars and loco motives have double f1anged bearing wheels adapted to the center rail, and side steadylng wheels without ffanges adapted to the outer rails Each set of wheels has separate and independent axle, and all are arranged so as 10 have a swinging and lateral as we'll as per- pendicular motion, each independent of the other. It is claimed that the load Is mainly carried on the center rail, and that there is no grinding action in passing over curves. The center rail may have a face of any width, and thus the adhesion of the locomotive wheels is materially aug. admitting of heavy gradients Curves of fifty feet radius are claimed to be possible under the system.

COmmatation Of Sentence.

His Excellency, John P. Hoyt. Gov
 ernOr of Arizona, has commuted the death sentence recently passed upon J
 A. Lewis, the wife-slayer, to imprison- ment for life. The Governors reasons for so doing were given in last Satur- days Enterprise. The copy was re ceived so late on that day that we were then unable to comment upon the act
 We now, with all the light we have upon the subject, publicly declare our conviction that the Governor could not have done otherwise, and have done right. He was asked to do so by some of the citizens who sat as jurymen, upon Lewis case; by hundreds of citi- zens who professed to know something of the merits and demerits of the case : by the Judge who tri-d the case and by the Supreme Bench. For the Gov ernor to have disregarded the wishes and opinions of so many people, would not have been right, especially when he did not know anything, per sonally, about the case, save what he learned by reading testimony and from hearsay. It was for him deli cate duty. He met it like a man. If Lewis has escaped just doom, that is not the fault of Gov. Hoyt, and the men who last night dIsgraced them selves, and tried to give Prescott a bad name, by certain effigy work, must, by this time, feel heartily ashamed of themselves.-Enterprise.

THE CITIZEN.
Really an Elegant Thing.

The new Rocky Mountain Tourist, just from the press, is indeed an artis. tic gem. In point of engravings, printing and descriptive it is beyond all question the han lsomest publica- ton of the character ever issued in the United States. There are in this work no less than sixteen of Thomas Moran's exquisite drawings, and among them his famous reproduction of the Mount of the Holy Cross. Of Moran's other matchless drawings are those of Grand, Glen, Marble, Knab and Bould. CT Canons, Twin Lakes, Teocally Mountain, etc. Joseph Beard is repre- sented by characteristic hunting sketch es, Bisbing by several exceedingly attractive mountain sketches, Lancelot by spirited drawings of the remarkable rock-sculpture on White River, and Henry Worrall by fullpage. views al Veta Pass and Wagon Wheel Gap, as well as a large number of other very finely executed sketches in different portions of the western country. The engravings are for the most part large, the full quarto pages of the Tourist enabling the showing to the finest advantage of plates seven by ten inches The book comprises sixty-four pages, exclusive of the cover, and printed as it is upon supersiZed and calendered paper of the richest finish, the effect throughout is superb. While a very model of typographical beauty, the Tourist is none the less practical in its range of information, time, distances, railroad and stage fares, hotel and livery rates being noted with uniform accuracy and in so easy and pleasing "a manner as 70 entirely relieve the work of everything approaching the tedious detail of the average guide book. Containing no advertisements of whatever character, the new Rocky Mountain Tourist is fit companion to Picturesque America in any gentle mans library. Specimen copy may be had without cost by writing to W. F. White, Topeka Kansas.
