DEATHS IN COLUMBIA.

Rev. Geo. Howe, D. D., of the Presbyte-
rian Seminary at Columbia, died on Sunday
evening, April Is, 1888, at o'clock. His
death resulted from a fractured limb. Un-
til Sunday last, it was expected that he
would recover, as he seemed to be getting
on so we'll. DIR. Howe was born in Massa-
chusetts, in 1902, and descended from one of
the Pilgrim Fathers, who landed on Ply
mouth Rock. At the age of - he removed
to Pennsylvania, and attended school there
and in Vermont until 20 years of age. He
finally graduated at Andover Theological
Seminary at %; he was elected professor Of
Theology at Dartmouth College, New Hamp-
shire, and his health failing, he came South
in 1880. He was offered the Professorship
of Greek and Hebrew in the Seminary at
Columbia in 1881, and his connection with
that school has remained unbroken until
now. At the time of his death, he was pro-
fessor of Biblical Literature and was also
chairman of the faculty. DR.. Howe was
twice married, and leaves wife and sever
al children. He occupied high place in
his denomination, and his death is greatly
lamented.
The eminent surgeon, and well-known
physician, DIR. E. B. Turnipseed, of Colum-
bia, died at his home in that city on the
18th instant after an illness of eight days.
He will be remembered by many as surgeon
of the Twelfth s. C. Volunteers in the early
part of the war. Ofhim the Columbia Reg
tster SAYS: sIn his death many of the suffer-
ing poor of our city have lost a devoted
friend as well as skillful attendant, and the
profession of medicine member who was
as bold and independent in the maintenance
of his views, as he was thoroughly versed in
tho theory and Dractice of the healing art"

The correspondent of the Rock Hill Her.

Presbytery last week, introduces his re-
port with the following kindly remarks
which we take pleasure in transferring to
our columns, only adding that if the wri-

the Eastern section of York county gener-
ally, the sentiments he expresses toward
Yorkville are heartily re-echoed to our
thriving sister town:
The people of Yorkville received us with
a hearty Welcome-threw open their hous-
es, and they are now giving the visitors the
very best. Their splendid hospitality dis
posed in such kindly way, makes us feel
at home among them. Our sincere wish
is that some blessing may fall upon them
from these exercises in their midst. This
town has long and good history of kind
and noble deeds. 1t is the place where
our forefathers and mothers in days gone by
came for nearly all their supplies, and the
associations Of the past still make us love
to come from time to time and renew our
acquaintance with the spot of so many pre-
cious memories. Time has made great
changes. The country has felt the steps of

Criticism on the Management Of the
Greedy Relief Expedition.

WAsHINGTON. Sept. H.
No additional reports have been received
TODAY either at the war or navy departments
from the officers returned from the Greedy
expedition at St. Johns. 1t is generally con-
ceded BY those who have given the most at
,ention to the subject that the complete dis
|astrous failure of the relief exhibition is
mainly due to the mistake of Lieut.. CARING
tsn in not loading his stores and house at
Littleton's Island or some other accessible
point near the mouth of Smith Sound, before
attempting the hazardous navigation beyond
If he had done this, the destruction of the
Proteus would have been a comparatively
trifiing misfortune and not necessarily i'm
perilled lives either of the crew or of the
party they were sent north to rescue. Carl
ngton and his men could then after the des-
truction OF their ship have retreated to Sc
cure the base of supplies thus established
and carried out the remainder of their plan
for the relief of the Franklin Bay party, by
means of sledge expedition up the coast OF
Grinnell Land. Now there is no party at
che mouth of Smith Sound to cooperate with
Lieut.. Greedy, and no food supply for him to
retreat upon. There would seem, however.
some justification for the course pursued by
Darlington in the orders issued to him by
Gen. Hazen Just before he sailed from New
York.

and British GunbOats.

LONDON, Sept II.
The Standard has long despatch from
Hong Kong giving further details of the
Canton riots 1t seems that a quarrel arose
between a Portuguese half-caste Waterman
on the quay and a Chinaman. struggle
ensued and the Chinaman was pushed into
the river and drowned. a boat of the British
steamer Hankow picked up the body and
carried it on board.
1t also took on board the Portuguese, the
latter being taken out of the reach of the ex-
cited mob, who set fire to buildings. This
took place at A. NJ, and the residents were
for the most part breakfasting. Suddenly
an alarm was caused by the Eruption of the
mob. A terrible panic ensued. Ladies and
children, many half dressed and some in a
fainting condition, were hurried on board
ships through the threatening crowd. No
attack. however, was made upon them, the
mob being more intent on plumber than upon
taking life.
The crowd then began to batter at the
gates of the British consulate. The consul
hauled down the flag and this seemed to in
spire the crowd with some fear of the cOnse-
quences of the riot as they left the consulate
and continued the work of plumber elsewhere.
The consul sent word to the Viceroy of what
was taking place and telegraphed to Hong
I
longs to the Chinese and the messenger who
took the telegram returned with the news
that the officials refused to send it, saying
they had received orders from the Viceroy
not to accept any messages.
At II O'Clock finding that no assistance ar
rived from the Viceroy, while the mob con-
tinued to burn aud piunder, some merchants
who had hitherto abstained from defending
their property, now took to arms. A party
consisting of nine Germans and three Eng
lishmen opened fire upon the crowd. The
latter returned the fire, and five Chinese
were killed and many wounded. When the
fray had lasted half an hour the Chinese
troops arrived and dispersed the mob. They
encamped in the settlement where they re-
manned all the afternoon and night. The ar
rival of two British and one French gunboat
at midnight, restored confidence. There is
still great excitement at Canton. Placards
are posted on walls applauding the action of
of the people in attacking the settlement, and
calling upon them the next time to destroy
the Europeon devils well as their property.
The consuls all admit the situation is very
serious, and that the future of the European
colony is gloomy in the extreme.
There is now almost open war between
them and the populace of Canton, and it will
be necessary to have ships of war there for
their protection for a long time to come.
Ten English establishments, one American.
one French and two German were burned to
the ground, and two English, one German
and one French house was sacked by the mob.
The consuls have sent an identical note to
the Viceroy, holding him responsible for the
destruction.

4 Battle With the Black Flags-The
French Lose 50 and Their Adj
versaries 500 Men.

LONDON, Sept. If.
A despatch from Hong Kong today states
that battle has taken place between the
French forces and the Black Flags, lasting
eight hours. The engagement took place
between Hanoi and Sontay near the Red
river. The French are reported to have lost
two officers and fifty men. The loss of the
Black Flags is estimated at between 500 and
600 men. Hanoi is town where the French
have been holding their garrison since the
previous engagement at Sontay, awaiting re-
Inducements.
1t is probable from the tenor of the above
despatch that the Black Flags, whose head
quarters are at Bacminh, to the northeast of
Hanoi, had determined to recapture Sontay
from the French who have kept a gunboat
there the last fortnight, aud while en- route
from Bicminh across the Delta were met by
French force sent to intercept them,
battle being the result.
