A Governors Danger.

GALVESTON, August 22.-The report
ed arrest of Governor Ireland at Houston
is false. Governor Ireland, accompanied
by Hon. Barnett Gibbs, candidate for
lieutenant governor; Congressman Wei.
born and Miller, together with about one
hundred delegates to the late convention,
arrived at Galveston last evening. Mar
shall Tracy informed representative of
the associated press that he had no in.
tention of arresting the governor during
his attendance upon the State convention
at Houston. The marshal has no fears
that the governor will seek to avoid the
service of the warrant, and hence he has
selected another time and place for the
arrest of the governor under the Fran
co.'s afidavits. The famous miscegena.
tion case of Emil Francois originated
here in 1879. He was tried under the
State law of 1858, which makes it a
penitentiary ofense for a white person to
marry negro-the negro not being
amenable. The case was appealed to the
supreme court of Texas, and was there
affirmed. It was then carried before
United States District Judge Duval, and
the ground urged that the law under
which conviction was had was in conflict
with the fourteenth amendment. Judge
Duval concurred in the decision of the
circuit court. Ex. United States District
attorney O. G. Garland, who was then,
as now, connected with the case, appeal.
ed to Circuit Judge Woods. That official
thought the writ of habeas corpus should
issue, and instructed Garland to lay the
matter before DuvaI, but Duval died and
Judge Turner was appointed to the va
cancy. Turner declined to take action,
inasmuch as Francois had then been in
the penitentiary long enough for the
question of jurisdiction to arise. Garland
then sent the papers to United States
Judge Morrill,, of the eastern district at
Galveston, but they were returned to him
without action. Upon the appointment
of Sabin the application was again made
but refused. Subsequently the matter
was brought up by Judge Sabin, who
called Garland homo from Connecticut
for the purpose of prosecuting the case.
The question involved is the validity of
ante bellum statutes since the adoption
of the fourteenth amendment, snd all
decisions so far of both State and federal
courts have been that the State law does
not conflict with the federal constitution.
The question has never gone to the
supreme court of the United States. It
is held that the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments were to prevent discrimina.
ton against the negro, while this law
discriminales against whites. AS to the
suit brought by Garland in behalf of
Francois, charging Governor Ireland with
conspiracy to defraud Francois of his
citizenship, it is regarded by Governor
Ireland as of trivial importance, and by
the federal authorities here rs mere folly.

Killed by a Thunderbolt.

BRUNsoN, August 22.-On the after
noon of August 20 three boys, (Youmans
by name went out to shoot an alligator.
On returning from the hunt cloud came
up we'll charged with electricity, and be-
fore they could reach their homes the
rain began to fall. Tie parents of two
of them seeing that they would be caught
in the rain sent another of their sons
with an umbrella to meet them. Two of
the boys, brothers, took shelter under
a tree while the other, cousin, ran on.
The brother who had gone to meet them
had not reached the tree when the light
ming struck the tree mangling the tree
considerably and prostrating the boys to
the grouLd, where they laid as if they
were dead. They we're carried home i'm.
mediately and physician was called in,
who did all that medical skill could do
to revive the unfortunate lads. The
younger of the twain, who is about ten
years of age, soon revived, while the re.
covery OF the older, aged fifteen, was
slow aud doubtful. During the follow.
ing night he was at times rational, and
then he would relapse into state of un-
consciousness. Each of them was burnt
and SCARED dreadfully. In many places
the skin was pealed off and little hole
or dents left in the flesh. The older boy
died from the effects of the shock on the
afternoon of the 2lst. The other boy is
still suffering great pain, but hopes are
entertained of his recovery. The dead
boy had gun in his hand when he was
struck. A piece of wood split from the
stock was the only damage done to the
gun. It was not even discharged by the
Stroke. Mr.. J. A. Youmans, the father
of the boys, is our town marshal.

Maud S. Sold to Robert Bonner for
100000.

NEW YORK, August 19.-Ihe Turf,
Field ind Farm tomorrow will publish
the following: Probably no prominent
man ever paid another prominent man SO
marked compliment as w. II. Wander
bilt has just paid Robert Bonner.
"Maud S." as all intelligent horsemen
know, has made the fastest record of any
trotting horse in the world. She is the
only animal that has trotted mile in
less than 2:l0. Her record is 2.O94.
This figure few years ago was deemed
beyond the reach of trotting horse.
Vanderbilt was lately offered 100000
for the great chestnut, but he declined it,
preferring to sell her for less than half
of that sum to Mr.. Bonner, who he
knew would not trot her in public races.
Last Friday Mr.. Vanderbilt sent friend
expressly from Saratoga to inform Mr..
Bonner of these facts, and on Saturday
Mr.. Bonner sent his brother David up to
Saratoga to confer with Mr.. Vanderbilt.
The result was that Mr.. Bonner pur.
chased the mare on Monday evening,
paying $4,000 for her. Of seven great
trotters which in succession have beaten
the record-Flora Temple, Dexter, Gold
smith Maid, Rarus, st. Julien, Jay Eye
See and Maud S.-Bonuer now owns
three of them-Dexter, Rarus and Maud
s. What trio! Mr.. Bonner was asked !:
"Suppose Jay-Eye-See should beat the
record of Maud S., what would you do
then ?" His answer was characterisllc:
"Buy him, too, if I could, or put Maud
S. into training at some good track like
Charter Oak, at Hartford, and give the
public free exhibition of speed.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1884-08-28
Horse Evolution.

Let US see what distances have been
gained by this 16t seconds of faster trot-
ting speed. In 1874 Lady Suffolk made
mile or $3.50 feet in minutes 271 Sec
onds. This was at the rate of &c feet and
j inch every second. The whole distance
gained therefore in the 16i seconds by
Maud S. in 1884 was 5S5 feet St inches,
or little over 1-9 of mile. This is q
tremendous gain in speed and would seem
to practically examplify Or. Woodrow's 3
theory of progressive evolution. Horses
by training have been graded up in
swifter trotting. TO do this many good
things have been needed in the horse,
greater muscular power, harder endu-
rance, more Jealous spirit, higher train
ing, more practiced skill in the trotting
PAGES, the fullest capacity for sustained
exercise at the very limit of strength,
and absolute physical health and perfec-
ton of frame; in the man every scien-
tifc appliance for developing and aiding
the animal, breeding with correct
knowledge of the laws of heredity, as
sisting nature, repressing the bad and
the weak, developing the good and the
strong, skillfully using every advantage
of improved track and judicious driving.
The result is wonderful. 1t is the
vindication of the divine laws of nature
and progress. It is the triumph of SCI
ence. It is the superb Test of the great
principles of improvement.
