A PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

An effort will probably be made by. our
representatives at the next session Of the
Legislature to have the time for holding
Court here changed from June to July.
This would perhaps require correspond
ing change in the February and September
terms, but March, July and October we be-
lieve would suit the convenience OF our
farmers much better Winns6oro Ne,cs.
Very like. But what about suiting the
convenience of the farmers of Lancaster,
Chester and York? And also the conven-
ience of Judges, suitors and witnesses:
We presume they will be given hearing
before the proposed amendment' of the
Ne,cs is put into effect. The present ar
rangement in the order of holding the
Courts on this circuit was made with spec
ial reference to having the circuit close in
York, it being larger county than either
of the others, so that if the business de-
manded, the session could be continued be-
yond two weeks allotted to each of the
other counties. The Spring and Fall terms
in York usually require four weeks and
never less than three.

seems, has been known to the county au.
thorities for week past, but they failed
to make the robbery public, and employed
detective to endeaYor to recover the pa
pers. The detective, after hearing the de-
tails, refused to take up the case for the
compensation offered, and has given the
theft away. The indictments were. for all
classes of crime, but principally against sa-
loon keepers and wholesale liquor dealers.
Miss Julia Jackson, daug hter of the late
Gen. T. J. c'Stonewall') Jackson was mar.
ried at Richmond, Va, on the evening OF
the 2nd inst, to VIM. E. Christian, OF that
city. The ceremony took place in the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Moses
D. Hoge, D. D., the pastor, officiating. lie
was assisted by the Rev. w: II: Christian,
the father of the groom. The bride was born
about six months before her distinguished
father received his fatal wound at the pat
tie of Charlottesville on May 10, 1868.
Mrs. Jackson was summoned to her hus-
bands side Immediately after he was wound
ed and carried with her the babe whose
nuptials were solemnized as above stated.
The mother and little Jalia remained by the
bedside of Gen. Jackson at Guinea Station
until his death. It was there that the in
FAINT received its baptism.

THE REVENUE CHANGES.

D. F. Bradley, the newly appointed Col
lector of United States internal revenue
entered upon the discharge of his duties on
Monday of last week. Among his first Off
cial acts was the appointment of the follow
ing deputy collectors for the nine divisions Of
the State: At Charleston, R. S. Cathcart
Beaufort, James M. Rhett; Florence, j. E.
Schouboe; Edgeieid, J. II. Brooks; Fair
field, Amos f. Davis; Cheraw, c. A. NAL
10y Greenville, John l.. Black; Pickens
R. A. Child; Abbeville, G. L. Smith.
The new appointees will take the places
of the following: w. F. Myers, James NJ
Croufut, M. F. Hewson, Paris Simpkins,
E. A. Webster, R. E. Evans, c. j. Stolbrand,
E. F. Blodgett and J. F. Lopez. NJ. F.
Hewson resigned on the 18th and +. A.
Webster on the lst of May.
The salary of Deputy Collector is 81 100,
with $500 allowed for the travelling expen-
ses of those in the sections of the State
where liquors are largely manufactured and
$500 for those in the other divisions. Mr..
Brayton has recommended that the travel
ing expenses allowed the first mentioned
deputies be reduced to S40O. Any deputy
exceeding the amount allowed by law does
so at his own expense. When deputies
were allowed salary of 81, 400 very little
travelling was done, hence the reduction IN
salary and the allowance of travelling ex-
penses, and every item of travelling expense
must be accounted for. Seven of the nine
divisions of the State contain no distilleries,
and there are now only three licensed dis
tilleries in the State. This falling off is at
tributed to the scarcity of grain.
The collector has determined to change
the boundaries of the divisions somewhat,
so that the territory occupied by the new
deputies cannot yet be stated. Under the
present arrangement, York is in the third
division composed of the counties of Spar
tanburg, Union, York and Chester.
The manner in which Collector Bradley
proposes to execute the revenue laws may
be inferred from the following editorial
paragraph in the Pickens Sentinel of which
paper he is one of the editors:
at will be a mistake to suppose that, be-
cause Maj. Bradley has condemned the
Laws, that he condemns the law itself or is
in sympathy with the law breakers. The
laws will be firmly but fairly enforced,
and we trust that every good citizen will
lend their influence towards the suppression
of all violations. If there are any engaged
in this illicit traffic they might as we'll
know, once for all, that they cannot es-
cape punishment, if they violate the law.
We may have more to say upon this subject
in the future, but at present will only adj
wise all, if there are any, engaged in this
business, contrary to law, to desist before
they get themselves into trouble"

The prisoner then sat down. To all out

The prisoner then sat down. To all out
ward appearance he was as unmoVed as At
any time since his arrest.
When the verdict became known outside
there was some clapping of hands and a
few shouts, but this was stopped by the p0-
lice. Judge Atkins asked the prisoners
counsel if they had any motion, but Judge
Crump requested that the Court be adjourn
ed until Friday morning, so that they might
have time to decide upon course OF action;
This was accorded, and the Court adjourned
verius was brought into Court and through
his counsel made motion for a new trial.
Judge Atkins postponed hearing argument
on the motion to Monday and the prisoner
was recomittted to Jail. He showed no
signs of depression, but on the contrary ap-
peared brighter than for some time past.
There was large crowd in and about the
Courtroom, but no disorder was noticed.
On Monday, after argument by counsel,
Judge Atkins over-ruled the motion for
new trial. The prisoners counsel then en-
tered 2 motion for an arrest of judgment
and asked that the hearing be postponed
until next Tuesday, in order to give them
time to examine the record as to the pre-
else point to bring to the attention of the
Court, and propose bills of exception.
The verdict is regarded as just one by
the people of Richmond generally. The
testimony as published in the telegraphic
reports of the trial, was meagre, and much
of it was unfit for publication. AS the pub
lished testimony was read at a distance
from Richmond, however, there was SEEM
ingly enough to point to Cluverius as the
guilty man. The most fatal break in the
defence was the utter failure of the accused
to account for his whereabouts between the
+, hours of and IL o'clock on the night the
deed was committed, and the hours in which
it was done. He was accounted for at all
hours, and all times, except at the very
period most essential to establish an alibi or
to prove his innocence. Another strong cir
cumstance to his prejudice was the watch
key found near the reservoir, which was
almost conclusively identified as the pris-
oner's, and which Identification would no
doubt have been complete had the counsel
for the defence consented for the jeWeler
who had repaired it take it to pieces to ex-
anime if it was his work. The Richmond
papers say the testimony for the defence
was weaker than was anticipated, from the
boasting of the prisoners counsel previous
to the trial !; and that his counsel anticipated
conviction is clearly shown in the course
of their action by objecting to nearly all Of
the testimony for the Commonwealth, and
taking so many exceptions to the rulings Of
the Court with view to securing new
trial with possibly better chances for success

RECENT DEATHS.

Mrs. Louisa OH. Dickson died at the residence
of Mr.. John R. Ashe in this place, at whose
house she was boarding, on Monday last, in the
S6th year of her age. She was the step-mother
of the late Rev. Henry R. Dickson, formerly
pastor of Yorkville Presbyterian church. Mrs.
Dickson was greatly esteemed by her acquaint-
ances as pious lady, and was loved and respect
ed by all who knew her. Her funeral took place
on Tuesday afternoon, in the Presbyterian
church, Rev. T. r. English officiating.
Mr.. A. J. Davinney, Superintendent OF the
Poor House, died suddenly at halfpast u o'clock
on Monday. He was subject to dropsy of the
breast, which, however, rarely incapacitated
him from his regular duties, and on the day of
his death he eat hearty dinner, and sat down to
enjoy an afternoon smoke While thus engaged,
sitting in his chair, his organs Of respiration
were suddenly checked by the peculiar action of
his disease and death ensued in few minutes.
Mr.. Davinney was aged 70 years. He came to
Yorkville from Rutherford county, N. c., about
the year 1858, and afterwards settled near town.
He was an industrious man, unostentatious, but
had the confidence of all who knew him, and
long enjoyed the reputation Of being valuable
citizen in the community. He was member of
the Presbyterian church in this place. Last fall
he was elected by the County Commissioners
Superintendent of the County Poor House, the
duties of which position he filled in satisfacto-
ry manner. His funeral also occurred on Tues
day afternoon, Rev. Mr. English officiating.

ssFOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY"

In his address before the Merchants Ex-
change, of St. Louis, on Wednesday of last
week, Secretary Bayard said:
''In my mind the Mississippi valley occu-
pies as important position as the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. have always tired TO
do as much for this section of the country
as for any other. I appeal to every Con-
gresham and every Senator, every man
with whom I have been associated in pub
lie life, to prove that nobody has, done
more than I have done to advance the in
terest of the great valley. I have seconded
the interest of your great Capt. Eads to
open not only Memphis and New Orleans,
but also st. Louis to the commerce OF the
world through this great river. This is not
my desire alone. As one of the advisers
of President Cleveland think am justi-
fed in saying that the administration will
make every endeavor to allay every rem
nant of sectional feeling in every particular.

MAY YET RECOVER.

Charlie Booker, or Charles Fair, as he is known
on the railroad, the colored fireman who made
the fearful leap from his engine on the 18th of
last April receiving severe injuries, is recover
ing slowly, and the chances are that he will yet
be fully restored. It will be remembered that
on the above day, as the train was approaching
the trestle at Crowder's Creek on the G. q L..
Railroad, two wheels Of the tender went off the
track and as soon as Charlie discovered the ac-
cident he jumped from the engine, which was
then on the trestle, and landed on his head some
thirty or thirty y-five feet below. The engine was
not on the highest part of the trestle when he
jumped, as was enormously stated at the time,
but it was sufficiently high to give Charlie
severe shaking up on his sudden concussion
with the ground, and he was picked up for dead.
He was brought to his home in this place, and
the railroad authorities telegraphed to the agent
here to secure for him the best medical atten-
ton. He was placed under the care Of DR.. Fl. G.
Jackson, and now at the end of ~ days since he
was hurt, he is able to walk about the hplfse,
with assistance, though he is much emaciated
and quite feeble, and his mind continues i'm
paired. DR.. Jackson attributes his recovery so
far, in great measure to the careful attention
and tender nursing bestowed upon him by his
faithful wife and daughter.

WHAT CONSTITUTES AN ACCOMMODA-
T1OS TRAIN.-The Railroad Commissioners
having been requested to define what trains
are Accommodation trains" under Section
1451f, General statutes as amended at the
last session of the Legislature, define trains
as follows:
1st. Trains carrying passengers only,
whether they stop at all stations or not, are
not accommodation trains.
I'd. Freight trains carrying passengers
are accommodation trains; except that on
roads or branches whose passenger business
is done by mixed train, such trains are not
accommodation trains.
The carrying of express freight or mails
does not change the character of the train

THE GALLows.-Foster Chase and Robert
Williams, both colored, were hanged with
in the walls of the parish prison in New
Orleans last Friday, in the presence OF tif-
teen witnesses. The crime for which Chase
was hanged was the murder of his cousin,
Marie Louise Provost, April 6, 1884. He
was in love with the girl, and after shooting
her he attempted to commit SUICIDE by
shooting himself in the head. Williams
crime was the murder of Charles Deyes on

pany of his (Williams) paramour on the
Street, he stabbed him to death.

tally murdered Abram Gurnee, the well

EX-PREs1DENT ARTHUR.-A gentleman
who met ex-President Arthur at Fortress
Monroe during his recent visit to that place
says that he was apparently as unhappy
man, during his entire visit, as could have
been found. He seemed to be interested IN
no one or anything, avoided society, and
was even Indifferent to his meals. The be-
lief that he was in poorer health than he
would admit was forced upon several per-
sons who knew him. The National Repub-
1icou says: GA prominent physician who
has lust returned from New York is quoted
as saying that ex-President Arthur is suffer-
ing from Bright's, disease. MIR; al Arthurs I"
visit to Fortress Monroe was not for mala-
rial troubles, says the physician, but was to
obtain relief from kidney troubles, with
which he has been suffering for over a year.
Mr. Arthur, he says, is looking badly, and
seems to be suffering intensely. Mr.. Arthur
is preparing for sea voyage.

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.

Recent rains have greatly improved the
crop prospects in Southeast Virginia and
East Tennessee, especially as to OATS corn,
clover and grass. In a few sections wheat
has improved, and the yield will be in
creased over that heretofore predicted.
Estimates based upon reports from the
heavy wheat-groWing States give the prop
able spring wheat yield, with continuing
favorable weather, at 130,O00,OO0 bushels.
The total wheat crop in the country, there
fore, from the present outlook will be from
1920, 900 900 to $4,000, 900 bushels, against an
average yield for the past five years OF 1884,

Allston is still probable, there is new pro-
ject on foot to run road from Georgetown,
s. c., through Sumter, to Lancaster, Ches-
ter, Hickory Grove and Blacks to Shelby
and thence to Cranberry. This route would
pass through rich country, able and anx-

Richmond and Danville company and a
northern syndicate are both willing to un-
dertake the construction of the road, if rea-
sonable amounts are voted by the counties
through which the route is to pass.

be fully discussed at the meeting. Delegates
