Poison.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan IA.
At Prosperity, S. c., Laura Kinnard,
white, was found dead in her fathers
house January s. She had apparently been
sitting in front Of the fire place and had
fallen forward on her face into the fire.
Her arms were burned nearly of and her
face charred beyond recognition. As soon
as it was known in the community her
friends and relatives went to perform the
last rites, but the father refused them adj
mission to the rooms and would allow no
one to enter. The Coroner was driven Off
by him on Saturday, but afterward return
ed and forced his way into the room and
held the inquest. Her father refuses to all
How her remains to be inferred. At the in
quest Kinnard admitted that he had given
his daughter some medicine the day before,
but refused to tell the jury what it
was in the presence of the physicians who
had been attending at the inquest. After
She physicians had retired he said it was
.aa infusion Of baybery, skull-eap and al
der. This created a suspicion in the minds
OF the jury, and they had the stomach
taken ont and semi to Charleston for analy-
sis. The father beers rather bad repu-
aafion in the community as root doctor
and among the negroes as "conjurer.1
He now permits negroes to enter the room
where the corpse lies, but strictly refuses
white people admission. Laura was Kin
mard's only Child and she was expected to
come in possession of q large sum of money
shortly, hence foul play Is suspected.

The Tombstone Strike.

Tho Epitaph, Of Tombstone, has this
to say about the great strike at that
place, in which the merchants of Los
Angeles are largely interested. The ad-
vice is wholesome and well expressed
and might be used in many other places
nearer home with profitable effect
The Tombstone merchants are growing
weary. the miners are getting tired of
fasting, and the mine owners are enjoy
ing themselves at the summer watering
places, ready and willing to start up the
mines at 80 per day on twenty four
hours notice. During the enforced idle
ness our city has suffered to the extent
OF $751; 900 which would have been paid
out in wages even at the SO rate. The
price is low, all must acknowledge, but
II the companies cannot afford to
pay more, no sensible man can
blame them for ceasing work.
II miners cannot work for that price, let
them yield for time until they have
saved few dollars. and go elsewhere
where higher remuneration is paid.
There are many miners here with fami.
lies, some of whom may be destitute, and
50 a day may save them from want. Let
young men who are loudest in their de-
mands for a long strike consider this
matter. They can "rustle," as it is call.
ed, but women and children cannot; and
every day a settlement OF this question
is delayed makes the situation more
alarming. Men of sense do not
6ght after their struggle is hope
less, as this now assuredly
is. For nearly two months they have
held out, aud yet the mine
are as strong as ever in their determine
ton. The day has passed when even
compromise at So so could be effected;
now the only salvation for the Tomb-
stone camp seems to be to accept the
situation. hard rs II may be to bear,
with the other alternative, ruin and
starvation staring us in the face.
These words are written not in the in
terest of the mine-owners and superin-
tendents, who have left us to our fate,
but for the lenefit of the miners and
business men of this camp. There is no
denying the fact that there is not one in
ten of us who can last month longer.
Then why not accept the situation at
once, as gracefully as possible, and go to
work. Let the harsh words be forgotten,
and in more prosperous times, when the
bonanzas below the water are developed,
and the mines are again paying divi-
bends, tho chances are favorable that
the old rate of wages will be established.
Think this matter over calmly and dis
passionately."
