 LAURENs, s. O., July 4.-John Milain, passenger agent of the East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia railroad, went to Water loo, Laurens county, to get six negro women who wanted to go to Texas to join their hus- bands who had preceded them.

They then forced him to walk out of town till he dropped from sheer fatigue, when they left him lying in the woods and dispersed The leader of the mob is member of the State legislature. This is the second occurrence of the kind in the same place within two months, the other person mobbed being Charles Walker of the Western Atlantic rail road The men at Waterloo say that they determined to prevent the oolored people from leaving the county.

FENIANIsM IN IRELAND.
Earl Spencer Says There Are Thirty
 Thousand Of The Class.

Thousand Of The Glass.
 LONDON, July 24.-The Liberal banquet tonight to Earl Spencer was largely attended by members of both houses of Parliament. Earl Spencer declared in his remarks that he believed that there were thirty thousand Fenians in Ireland alone and that they re- ceived material assistance from the members of Fenian societies in England, Scot land and the United States. It was this that made the crimes act necessary. Ulster, the stronghold of the Parnellites, was the scene of incessant sedi- tious meetings. Nothing would be more dangerous, he thought, than to attempt to govern Ireland as a crown colony. The ab- sence of representative institutions would produce continual discontent

SALT LAKE. July 24.-This is the thirty eighth anniversary of the entrance into Salt Lake Valley by Brigham Young and one hundred and forty-two Mormons who made the journey from the Missouri river by OK teams. Usually the anniversary is observed with much display, but the half -masting of the flag on the Fourth of July and threat ened collision between the Mormons and the Gentiles should there be any interference with the flag, as well as the death of General Grant, put stop to all organized celebra- tlon. The day passed quietly. Business was entirely suspended and saloons were closed by order of the Mayor.

A YOung Married Man NesIects His
 Business And EIopes With The
 Comely Mother Of Three Children.
 BOSTON, July 24.-Eight years ago Thom- as Davis, young married man, set up in Jersey City horse shoeing business that prespered in his hands and enabled him to accumulate considerable property. His wife was thrifty and their home was for years 8 happy one. Three children were born to them, of whom one is now living. Three months ago Davis made the acquaintance of a eomely widow named Mary Brown, who with her three children lived at No. 52 Greg ory street. This acquaintance soon ripened into intimacy until Davis, neglecting his business, devoted much of his time to en- tertaining the widow Mrs Davis soon learned of her husbands inconstancy, but be- ing shrewd woman made no complaint un- til she had so ordered her husbands busi- ness affairs as to provide for her own future, She brought over from Germany her brother Harford McGu1nness and gave him $500 with which to buy an interest in the business, which interest he straight way , set about developing into controlling one. This scheme aided by Day- is negligence was accomplished month ago and then Mrs. Davis spoke. The winged -words flew with notable vigor and brouoht matters to an immediate climax Davis se- cretly collected a bill of $25O and eloped with the widow and her children. The fugitives were traced to Boston and on Tuesday night were found living as man and wife They were arraigned Wednesday, Davis being charged with adultery and Mary Brown with fornication. The case was continued till to- day, when the woman, out of consideration for her children, was allowed to go on pro- bation, while Davis waived examination and was held in $500 for trial in the Superior court.

about nine miles. The ship took the ground at
the top OF the tide, and was obliged to remain un-
til another flood when she was with difficulty
taken off by the steamer Mount Vernon, after be-
ing lightened by throwing overheard part of her
cargo. All the circumstances Indicated that the
ship was Intentionally run on shore, and the cap
tain was delivered Of his command and put under
arrest If the ship had not been taken off the
shoal at the first flood she must have been lost
with all on board, because there came up during
the night furious gale with heavy sea. which
would have knocked the ship to pieces in half an
hour. She was put into Hilton Head in south

been made in her hull near the stern by the an
