THE RICYCLE.

The bicycle has made it's appearance on our
streets. Mr.. McIver Law has been practlclng
with one for several days, and is beginning to
show some expertness in it's management.
Two or three other young gentlemen have or
dered bicycles, and, for their encouragement,
we quote the following from the Charlotte o.
serrer, only recommending some other day
than Sunday for such practice
Last Sunday, Messrs Gilmer and Pharr, two
of the best bicyclists in the Charlotte club,
mounted their iron steeds and put out for a
spin through the country road to Davidson
College. The distance is % miles, and they
made it in one hour and forty-eight minutes,
and considering the fact that the road is heavy
in many places and there were hills to pull
over, this is good time. 1t is freight train
schedule.

COMMITTEE.
YoRKvILLE, S. c., June 5, 1892
To the Democratic Voters Of York County :
You find in another column of this issue OF
the ENQUIRER, summary OF what was done
by the County Democratic Executive Commit
tee at it's meeting on the first instant. You

tenn. to provide for an election Of delegates and
alternates on the ''precinct" plan. Each pre-
cinct should be fully represented in the Con-
vention called for the Goth of July, the dele
gates to which are to be elected on the 18th OF
July. At the election, every Democratic vo-
ter may vote-the managers of election being
the judges of the voters qualification The
Convention is to be an important one. 1t will
have to consider the perfecting the precinct"
plan, ii lieu of the ''local club" system thu
increasing the membership of Conventions,
and re-apportioning the same; and the increas
ing the number of the Executive Committee
one for each precinct. 1t will have to elect
County Chairman, and Law Executive Com.
mittee and elect delegates to the State and
Congressional Conventions. 1t will have t.
fix the day for the next primary election, OF
refer that to it's Executive Committee.
1t is to be hoped, then, that the work to be
done will be appreciated, and Convention OF
earnest workers assembled on that occasion.

END OF THE SCOTT-WILsON CAsE-In the
United States District Court at Charleston.
last Thursday, Benjamin +. Scott, colored, and
Mrs. Mary Wilson, white, who were tried and
acquitted in Chesterfield county two or three
weeks ago upon charge of numbering Odom
Wilson, the husband of the latter, and who
were re-arrested and confined in Jail III Charles
ton for trial on a charge of conspiracy to in
timidate United States witnesses and prevent
them from testifying, were brought into Court.
and ex-Judge G. p. Townsend was requested
bv the Court to defend the prisoners. After
consultation with the prisoners, Judge
Townsend announced that Scott would enter
plea of guilty us to the third count and not
guilty as to the first and second counts, and
that Mrs. Wilson would plead not guilty as to
all the counts. The count upon which Scott
pleaded guilty is conspiracy to mtlmldate 9th
er witnesses than Odom Wilson and prevent
them from testifying. He pleaded not guilty
of all connection with the murder OF Odom
Wilson. The district attorney accepted Scott s
plea. and agreed that Mrs. Wilson should be
discharged on her own recOgnlZance to appear
for trial whenever required so to 90. Scott
was then called up and was sentenced by the
Court to two years at hard labor III the penl-
tentiary. In delivering the sentence OF the
Court Judge Bryan impressed upon the cul-
prit the gravity of his offence, telling him that
it was an offence against Justice itself. The
Judge also brought out verystrongly the point
that Scott stood before the Court charged only
upon the count to which he had pleaded guilty,
and the sentence which had been inflicted OF
course did not have any reference to the
charges connected with the removal OF Odom
Wilson. Scott is a very i'll looking, dark mu-
latto, and Mrs. Wilson, while she might have
oJ,o f,ra DV
no means handsome now. She was dressed III
black, with spring bonnet trimmed with blue
and with pink ribbon round her neck, pinned
in the throat by brooch having in it the like
ness of her murdered husband. The oldest of
her children is seventeen, and the youngest
two years. She proposes to return to her for
mpr home in Arson county. Y. &.

An Omeer's Chance.

Chicago, 11.-An army officer here
has prepared q statement from the rec
ords Of the department, showing what
chances an eficer in the regular service
even has of reaching 81 years, the retir-
ing age, to say nothing Of Ga OF forty
two officers entering the service at 19, sll
but four have died before reaching the
age Of 62; OF 199 entering at % years, but
nine survived at 81; Of 120 entering ct %
years, but fur survived st 81, Of fOrty-
six entering at q years, but two survived
at 81; of forty-tWo entering at 20 years,
none reached 81; of tweAty.four who en-
tered ct 80 and Sc years, none reached 81,
Of 1893 officers, whose ages were not
recorded, who entered the service at
various ages from IL to 81, but eighty
four ever attained. the age of62, or almost
exactly sixteen in 100. he then goes on
TO say it will be readily seen the greater
the age is fixed the less benefit accFues to
the service. The ..objsct of compulsory
retirement is to relieve the present stag
nation in promotion. Under q sixtY-four
year law there will be in eight years only
eleven retiremehtsl In the cavalry, nine
in the artillery and twenty-five in the
infantry. He thinks it would be much
better If Congress would make the age
sixty, or an even fifty, especially as far
Is the line is concerned. Such an srgu-
meut ss the above will be used by the
House when it comes to insist upon sixty
two years in the conference committee.

Washington, 12.-PoStofice off ciale
say the surplus of receipts over expen6i-
lures for the past year will foot up in the
vicinity Of $1,000, 600. This fact is ex-
pected to prove q fruitful cause for many
debatable propositions in Congress,
when it becomes known at the end Ofthis
There is largo party in Congress who
argue that the department has 40 right
to be self-sustsining, or at least to DC
made source Of revenue to government,
In anticipation of the fact that the year.
operations will disclose a margin Of re-
ceipts over expenditures, number of
bills are pending looking to a reduction
of the cost Of postage to the public, one
or two to reduce letter postage to two
cents, abolish postage on second class
matter and Introduce secret message
cards, which would take ths place OF
short letters and coat lc. The post
mastsr-general is understood to be favor
able to some kind of reduction, but is op-
posed by many Of the other officials of the
department. Senator Ferry has reported
what appears to be the most practical
measure for public convenience. It au-
thorizes the department to use secret
message card. This is nothing more than
q postal card, with flap gummsd along
the edges, to be sealed like 80 ordinary
envelope, to cover the message. The
card is to COSY no more than the one now
in use, to weigh no more, but could be
used for all private business as safely as
letter. The bill is on the Senate cslen-
dsr. As congressman are getting in q
hurry to go home it is not at all certain
that anything will be done this session.

THE PACIFIC ROADS.
An Attempt to Squeeze Them
More.

Washington, ia short bill was
passed by the Senate, last Friday. which
is of considerable importance to the
Union Pacific system Of railroads, and
especially to the Kansas Pacific Railroad
Company. The Kansas Pacific, al
though in possession of whole grant of
land Of nearly 4. 900, 600 acres, in Kansas
and Colorado, has eVRded payment of
local taxes on more than 3,000,O 900 acres,
by refusing to pay the cost Of survey.
By law, patents are withheld until the
costs of survey have been paid, and there
fore, the title of the land remains in
government, so that state and county
lected. Whenever a farmer buys any
Of the land, and desires q patent, the
company pay all the costs OF survey, and
procures one for him. The Kansas Paci-
fc unpatsnted lands in Kansas are re-
ported worth Sl3, 900, 600, and by the
methods already described the state and
counties are deprived of $240, 900 per an
mum in taxes. The bill passed by the
Senate provides that unpatented lands
belonging not only to the Kansas Pacific,
but to any other Company in the Union
Pacific system, shall, after they hsvs
been surveyed, and after the company
has become entitled to receive patents on
the payment of the cost of surveying,
etc., be subject to state and territorial
taxes, to the same extent as they
would be if completely conveyed
and patented to the companies.
There are no published statistics showing
the number of acres granted 10 other
roads in the Union Pacific system, sur
veyed, but not patented, and therefore
not subject to local taxation.
A little over q year ago the commits
sioner Of railroad accounts reported that
the titles granted 10 the Union Pacific,
Central Pacific, central branch of the
Union Pscifc, Sioux City and Pacific,
and the Burlington and Missouri Com
panies amounted to nearly 1850, 006
acres, Of which there had been patented
by the companies, up to juEe 30th, 1880,
only 8,398, 900 acres. The value OF the
companies unsold lads was estimated at
500, 000, 600. The bill reported By the
House committee contains An important
provision creating a sinking fund for the
Kansas Pacific, Sioux City and Pacific,
and central branch Of the Union Pacific
Companies. 1t proposes to amend the
sinking fund act of 1878, SO that the sum
of 81 200, 900 required to be paid to the
credit Of the fund by the Central Pacific
on February lst Of each year, shall be
paid in two installments, on April 1st
AID October 1st of each year, and the
cum Of $3.50, 600 required to be paid by the
Union Pacific, shall bs in like manner
divided into two installmenfi.

BraefnE Them Up.

Warrington, 12.-Seuthern democrats
in Congress have been in receipt Of let
terS for days FROM prominent democrats
in their respective states conveying the
alarming intelligence that great distrRst
exists in the democratic party south re-
speetinR the fall elections. The impress
sion, they stated, seemed to prevail among
the democrats that the coalition fostersd
by the administration in the southern
states would carry everything before
them. The democrats, they said, we're
becoming disheRrtened. Thereupon
democrats in the House, realizing the
necessity Of resssurinR their party friends
eanVassed among themselves the demo-
cratic chances in the coming elections.
By close calculation and throwing out all
speculative elements, thsy come 10 the
pleasing conclusion that democrats would
have . majority of twelve in the next
House. This statement was sOlemIiy
and formally made up and transmitted to
the chairman Of the democratic state
central committees Of the south. Nothing
has yet been heard of the effect Of this
tonic on the enerVated bourbons.

ments were filled with water. Several
houses near the Platte River were swept
away. The bodies of two men, Ludwig
Mener and Fidel Driver, Germans, who
were in one of the houses, we're recov-
cred. The bodies Of three children
drowned are not yet found. It is feared
other lives besides these were lost. It il
impossible to give the full extent of the
damage at present. The storm will
reach over several miles Of thickly settled
country. At Golden several houses were
washed away. The Csmbrian FIRE brick
works were struck by lightning and
completely destroyed.
