HAvEFAIrH.-There is but one consolation
that accompanies the present disagreeable
condition of the weather and that is, that in
the pature of things it can't last very much
longer. We are rushing along rapidly towards
the first of April, and this must bring us clear
skies and bright sunshine. Like all blessings
that come after the endurance of trials. the
balminess of spring will be all the more well
come because of the barrenness and discom-
forts of winter. We have been drifting under
the clouds for SO many weeks that the eyes
fairly ache for u sight Of budding trees and
verdant lawns. But these will all come in
due time, in very short time, too, for the
season Of snow and ice is fading fast away
and the blooming spring is at our very doors.

A MIDNIGHT MURDER IN YAMA-
CRAW.
A Quarrel Between a Negro Man
and His Wife Results I'm HIS
Death-She states He Fell on
knife and Killed Himself.

Shortly after midnight Policeman Kelley
encountered colored woman at the corner
of st. Julian and West Broad streets who
was covered with blood and appeared to be
very much excited. She was aceompa-
MED by small girl named
Emma Walker. The woman, whose name
is Anna Williams, stated that she had
difficulty or quarrel with her husband. he
fell upon an open knife she had In her
hand, and received wound that resulted In
his death a short time afterwards. The
tragedy occurred in an clubhouse on Bryan
street, between Lumber and Farm streets,
at the rear of a house occupied by Venus
Walker, colored From the infor-
nation that could be obtained, 1t
seems that William Randolph
and Anna Williams, who was living with
him as his wife, got into quarrel about
midnight, the origin of which is not known,
and a scuff1e ensued. Or table IN the
room lay large pocket knife,
the blade of which was opened. In
the scuffle Anna seized this knife
and was Iripped to the floor by Randolph,
who fell upon her, and rough and tumble
ukuJ Iu6 uOOA. IL paL4C
shanty lived negro woman, Louisa Lam
drum, who was aroused by the noise, enter
ed the room, and states that she then
saw Randolph sitting on Anna Williams,
endeaVoring to take the knife from her.
He was apparently cut In the breast near
the heart, and the blood gushed over his
person, and in few minutes he tumbled
over dead.
Venus Walker, the woman who occupied
the main house, also heard the noise, and
stated, 1t is said, that "she bet that woman
had killed William" but she knew nothing
whatever of the occurrence.
The woman Anna Williams and Louisa
Landrum were arrested and lodged at the
barracks, the former on the charge of Kill
ling William Randolph, and the latter as
witness, as it is believed from her inco-
herenJ statements, made at the barracks,
that she knows more about the affair than
she has yet dtvulged.
The Coroner was notified, but in conse-
quence of the late hour and the difficulty Of
obtaining any information the inquest was
postponed until to-day.
the above comprises all the particulars
in regard to the tragedy that could be as
certalned.
The woman, Anna Williams, when
brought to the barracks, appeared to be
utterly unconscious of the magnitude of the
crime with which she was charged. She as
serted positively that Randolph fell on the
knife, and that she had made no attempt to
cut him. He must have bled profusely, as
her clothing was literally saturated with
blood.

AN ABSURD STATEMENT.
The Import Duties at savannah.

Ia yesterdays news appeared q tele-
graphic dispatch from Washington stating
that certain gentlemen interested In Port
Royal, and DESTROYS Of having a naval sta
tion at that port, had represented to the
President that the import duties at Beaufort
were in excess of those at Savannah and
Charleston combined. The absurdity Of
this statement is apparent, and we were in
clned to let It pass, as it seemed
probable that the gentlemen had been
misunderstood. As, how ever, it was an
Associated Press dispatch, and has hence
circulated generally throughout the coun-
try, and as our special cores
pondent from Beaufort, during
the session OF the South Carolina
Press Association, mentioned that similar
assertion had been made by the Mayor of
Beaufort, It is but proper to give 1t prompt
and emphatic contradiction. A reference
to the books of the Collector of Customs at
Savannah shows that for the year ending
the Both of June, 1880, the receipts
from duties at this port amounted
to SO, l54, while. for the same period at
Beaufort, the duties were only 50, f6a. The
duties collected at Savannah from July LIST,
1880, to May 10th, 1881, amount TO 1906, SSl.
AS these figures are official their accuracy
cannot be questioned. a dispatch correct
ing this Misrepresentation has been sent
through the Associated Press.
