Vienna journals tell Of a panic
caused by thieves in theater in the
Italian town Of Brescia. The curtain
was about to rise upon the play,
when suddenly somebody turned off
the gas. The whole building was
plunged into darkness, and at the
same time the cry Of ''Fuoco" (ire)
resounded from various directions.
CONSERVATION seized the audience,
who sprang to their feet and rushed
madly for the door. Many fell and
were injured, but the exits were for
tunately SO large and numero Is that
Notwithstanding the frantic terror a
blockade was impossible, and the
whole audience succeeded in effecting
an exit. After while, no flames APP
pearing, many returned, on y to find
that during the whole panic number
Of thieves had been coolly rihing the
treasurer's box of its contents. They
had started the alarm to enable them
to execute their scheme of plumber,
wholly regardless Of the human lives
that they were exposing to destruc
ton.

4 London daily newspaper, in re-
cent editorial on the death of Mr..
Chabot, the expert on handwriting,
says: brothers frequently write
singularly like each other, and any
one who has paid the slightest atten-
ton to the subject cannot fail to notice
the broad peculiarities which the CALI
graphy Of certain people possesses in
common. There is no installing the
plain, expansive, clearly formed letters
Of those who have been taught to write
in the schools of America. The adj
mirable handwriting of the Scandina-
vians are so much alike that experts
will be able to pick out from hundred
examples almost everyone executed
lya Dane, Norwegian, or Swede.
l he italian handwriting is also SO
marked that it is one of the styles
affected by writing masters, and the
pretty seratchy characters ola French
man, with their hourishes and sudden
redundancies, inevitably suggest the
gay, volatile, tickle character of the
race to which he belongs

Pedestrianism is becoming fashion
able-if the number of people who
walk daily between Haley and Bull
Ion, aud between Haley and Belle
vue, is any guide. The trail is in fine
order to both places, ard the walk to
Bellevue is made i'll just one hour.
Persons just down from Vienna say
that the thermometer has been as low
as "a degrees at o'clock in the morn
ing, recently, and that it SHOWS almost
every day. The snow is very light
and feathery, however, and packs to
such an extent that there is not over
two feet on the level.
The road to Bullion is in excellent
condition, with the exception Of where
the water flowing from the Mayfower
jigger, at Bullion, spreads in the road
and makes sheet of ice almost 100
yards in length. This compels all the
teamsters hauling to or from Bullion
to have their horses rough-shod.
Probate Judge S. b. Dilley will
leave January Is for Wlsconsin-his
former homeland visit his relatives
and friends He will also visit Chi
cago, remain there some time on bus
mess, and return to HALEY April l
when he will have a brick residence
built on his town lots and settle here
permanently with his family.

WEDNESDAYS EXCITEMENT.
Hunting Bear, and Finding an Eagles
Nest-A Good One on w. +. Hall.

Nest-A Good One on w. T. Hall.
Last Thursday afternoon w. T.
Hall, citizen of Haley, while look
ing at the mountain side on the west
bank of Wood River, quarter of
mile above town, witnessed large
body moving along among the crags
on the location of the Chief Of the
Hill mine. Mr.. Hall stood observing
the object for moment, and, discov-
ering that it was monstrous bear, he
gave an alarm which spread through
the town and hundreds of eyes were
soon scanning the motions of the var
mint. a score or so of huntsmen
rushed for their rifles, swung on their
powderhorns and bullet-pouches, and
started across the river for the intru-
der, to give him a warm reception.
The idea of a big bear stalking about
the outskirts Of the town while all the
innocent little children were at play,
could not be tolerated. The hill is
exceedingly precipitous, and the brave
huntsmen were some time in getting
within range; but no sooner did they
approach within 500 yards than volley
upon volley Of rihe-shots resounded
through town, and the bullets were
seen to strike and make the dirt fly
in all directions. Mr.. Hall and his
dozen companions, including a rising
young attorney, were greatly excited
at the prospect Of hauling to town a
monster bear, and at presently being
hailed as heroes, but after repeated
assaults and gradually drawing nearer
after each volley they began to see
that they had not been firing at a
bear, at all, but at large, round hole
in the rocks, which, owing to the pc
culiar dark and light shadows on the
hill, had aided in presenting a startling
likeness to bear. The brave party
finally held consultation, and made
a charge. They were not rcpulscd,
and, arriving at the spot, discovered a
large opening in point Of rocks
which was filled with twigs, grass, and
feathers, and surrounded by bits Of
bone and other evidences of many re.
pas,s. 1t proved to be an eagles
nest, and has, from appearances, beer
the resting place Of one Of these glor.
ious birds for the past two or three
years.

The Germ Theory in Consumption.

DR.. Tuholske of St. Louis, thinks that
the recent discovery of Kock of Berlin,
concerning the germ theory in consQmp-
tion will soon revolutionize the treatm. mt
of consumptives. He says that this dis
covery, while it may not enable the pro-
fession to cure consumption as yet, it will
enable them to prevent it in a great
measure. He uses the benzoate of soda,
discovery, to control the disease in it's
incipiency with good effects. The diff
Guilty, he says, "was to find remedy that
would kill the germ in the human system
without injuring the tissues or acting as a
poison. Benzoate of soda apparently does
this to degree We cannot promise to
cure confirmed consumptive. l believe
the discoveries of recent years regarding
tubercular diseases are of more value to
the human race than the discovery OF vac
cination. Probably the most important
result is the knowledge how to prevent
the spread of the disease. We know now
that no one should sleep with consump-
tive nor inhale the breath nor wear the
same clothing. The remedy that will
eradicate tuberculous germs has to be very
skillfully applied to escape doing mischief.
We are all Investigating according to our
opportunities, and we are sure that the
most important results of the discovery OF
Kock are to come."-Enchamge

PARTIES who are desirous of ascertain
ing the political status of North Carolina
candidates IN the coming campaign, will
find an avalanche of testimony so conflict
ing as to infer that each individual rep
resented every known party, democrat,
radical, liberal, republican, and any coali-
tion that can be formed of these. Accept
ing the nomination of one party and claim
ing to belong to another, and highly i'm
pressed with the Importance of a change
in the party with whom they have alway s
affiliated, that change the acknowledged
ruin of that party, are some of the incon-
sistencies of our candidates. They hope
to obtain the suffrage of the people by
protesting they are actuated solely for
their good, while peep behind the cur
tain will reveal the talismanic word
"ofice." Not till they were taken aside
into some quiet retreat and told of the
great honors in store for those who would
renounce their party allegiance, and be-
lieving this the opportunity to reach that
haven to which they have SO long strug
gled, did they find their party fealty op
pressive. The allurements OF a prospective
Office and the fattery of the willy enemy

Four ON THE GALLows-Kingstree,
S. c., June 2s.-Anderson Singleton, Lu-
cinda Teasdale, Abraham Anderson and
Boston Singletary, all colored, were
hanged to-day. The first two were con-
victed of the murder of Phoebe Teasdale,
wife of Anderson Singleton and the half
sister of Lucinda Teasdale, on the 18th of
January last. Singletary and Anderson
were convicted of robbery and arson on
the 9th of March last. The execution
was conducted within the Jail enclosure,
but crowd of about 1000 persons were
in the town. There was no disorder, and
everything passed off quietly. ALI the
prisoners protested their innocence ex-
cept the woman, who said she killed her
sister in self-defense. Singletary, in bis
last speech, said the rope had been put
around his neck by witchcraft, and named
voudoo doctor, who,' he said, had be-
witched him. The execution occurred at
twelve M. All the prisoners died easily
except Singleton, who struggled violent
ly and had to be pushed away from the
scaffold.

The Democratic Convention of the Sixth
judicial District to nominate a candidate for
Judge and Solicitor of this District, met in the
Court House on Wednesday. Col Ham. G.
Jones called the Convention together and made

nently organized with Col. H. c. Jones in the
Chair, and the members of the press, Secretaries.
On motion of Col. Paul B. Means one person
from each delegation was selected to form the

tired and on returning reported that they had
discharged their duty, and submitted as their re-
port that all of the counties of the District were
represented by delegates in the Convention, 1.-THE
county of Polk by proxy)
Two hours time was consu med in discussing
the plan to be pursued in ballot ing, and it was
finally decided that the two-thirds rule should
prevail The chair announced that the conven-
tion was ready to hear nominations for candi-
date for Judge of this District, and Mr. j. H.
Wilson proposed the name of Judge VIM. M.
Shipp. Col. Means proposed that VIM. NJ. Shipp

was unanimously carried and Judge Shipp " as
declared the choice of the Democratic voters of

and recommended the convention to vote for MIR
Frank l. Osborne. Mr.. Arrnistead Burwel

lowed and when Union, the last to vote, was
counted, the result stood Osborne 17s; Adams S3

greatest enthusiasm and applause. On motion OF
| Mr.. G. E. Grier, committee was sent to bring
| Mr.. Osborne forward. He thanked the people
for the honor conferred upon him in a short, bu
appropriate talk, and assured them that he would
do his duty to the fullest extent of his ability.

How TO Cure SunstrOke.

For an effective cure for sunstroke the
following is especially commended: Re
move the patient to shaded spot at once
Place the body in sitting posture, the
back against wall, with the feet and legs
resting upon the sidewalk and extended
in front of the body. Get ice water and
bottle of some essence of ginger. Pour
the ice water over the head, copiously
never mind the clothes. Then pour two
or three tableespoonfuls of ginger iu about
halt "a tambler OF water aud make the pa
tient swallow it quickly. Keep the head
cool by using little of the ice water, and
in case there is not much glow upon the
body, give more ginger. If the directions
are followed there will be no occasion for
the services of an undertaken. Ginger ia
far the best to use, but where it cannot be
had quickly, two or three good drinks OF
brandy will answer.

AN examination of the japanese indem-
nifty bit reveals a curious senatorial blum
der. AS amended, by striking out and
inserting various words and lines, it is left
so that he President is directed to paw
Japan $765,OOO out of his own pocket.
The original bill provided for the restora-
tion of the fund to Japan, it never having
been converted into The Treasury. This
fund, under control of the Department Of
State, was the money to be returned. The
Senate struck out the words 'sfund under
control OF the Department of Srate," and
the amount inserted was simply the new
sum, $3.50, O,OOO," which the President was
directed to turn over to Japan through
our Minister to that government. The
Senators evince good deal Of sensitive
ness about the matter, and would evidently
like chance to recede creditably without
an open confession of stupidity. The
House will be made to fix the matter mn in
conference under the guidance of Mr.. Will
llams, Chairman of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs.

Warsaw, N. Y.-The dairymen are agi-
tated by the presence of a new weed,
known as "Long John," believed to have
been brought in western grass seed. 1t
grows three feet high, has the appearance
of species of mustard, aud blossoms with
small yellow flower. Cattle are extreme
ly fond of it, eating it in preference to
grass. The milk from COWS feeding upon
it is rendered worthless, the butter made
therefrom bring worse than rancid, and
utterly valueless for anything but common
grease. The managers of cheese factories
are watchful lest batch of this milk shall
spoil the whole make of cheese. A ship
ment of butter made to New York by one
farmer was returned by the retail dealer
as worthless.

ALF. DOYLE of Georgia, who killed
officer Hancock, when sentenced to be
hung the soth of June, requested Gov.
Colquitt to change the date, as he did
not wish to be hung on the same day
with Guiteau. This was read by some
humane person who has written to Gov.
Colquitt to have Doyle's sentence COM
muted to imprisonment, adding that the
sentiment expressed shows self-respect
that is commendable, and as such enti-
ties him to some mercy. The petition is
likely to be successful, as parties are in
teresting themselves in the matter, and
most probably Doyle will live some time
after Guiteau swings. His sentiment has
saved his life.

22.-Yesterdsy the police arrested Canon
Leon Bernard, Belgian, who detrauded
various Belgian religious societies to the
amount of 100000 francs. Bernard was
about to embark for St. Thomas. An
examination of his trucks and a number
of porket-books in his possession before
the Belgian Consul revealed bills of ex-
change, shares, and United States com
and ba"k notes amounting in value to
10000 francs. Thirteen keys were also
found, apparently belonging to boxes de-
posted in various banks. His capture
was due to the activity of the Bel gian

The interruption of business in New
York city, by the strike of the freight
handlers, causes much suffering to the
people. The -ailure to move trains loaded
with perishable articles has caused them
to become entirely worthless. This en-
tails loss upon class of people who are
in no manner of way engaged in the strike.
1t is estimated that the interruption to
shipping alone entails loss of 5000, 200
per day. Some of the Northern philan-
thropists who have hitherto expressed
SO much sympathy for our colored labor,
should devote some of their time and at.
tention to their own over worked and
poorly paid workmen. There is vast
need of some reform.

Opposed to a Reprieve.

The President has been appealed to in
behalf of the assassin Guiteau, to grant
reprieve for short time in order that
the question of his insanity might be more
fully investigated. The President called
meeting of the Cabinet to consider the
matter, and it was decided there was no
possible reason for delay. 1t is under
stood that the Cabinet was unanimous in
its decision against the petition. There
was quite an excitement in Washington
superinduced by the possibility of a
respite being granted, which might have
eliminated in evil consequences it abated
on the announcement that the President
declined to interfere, and there was a
general manifestation of approval at the
decision. When the result was told
Guiteau he sent the following bias
phemous message to his spiritual adviser,
the Rev. Mr.. Hicks:
"Go and see Arthur and shake your fist in his
face. Tell him / made him President by my in
spiration, and he must give me an unconditional
pardon; and if he does not, God Almighty blast
him forever I tell you, Brother Hicks, I am
Gods man, and God takes care of his own"
The preparations for the execution are
all completed and ready for the fatal
work for which they are destined, and
to-day Guiteau pays the penalty of bis
crime.
