with deadly effect. The latest report says
that twenty-five of the convicts were kill
ed or wounded. The prisoners ran in q
body and the guards simply emptied their
repeating rifles and small arms into the flee
ing mass. Rumors of an intended mutt
ny in the camp have been rife for some
weeks. These rumors were strengthened
by the fact that many Of the cOnvicts were
serving life sentences and were known to
be desperate characters. Extra precautions
were being taken to avoid an uprising.
Every means possible is being used to re-
capture the thirty-fve convicts who sue
ceeded in eluding the rifles of the guards:
All avenues of escape are being guarded

miles from telegraph office.
In the Mormon tabernacle at Salt Lake
City, on the 4th instant, Apostle Heber j.
Grant, referring to the prosecutions now
being conducted in Utah for polygamy,
said: "Woe be to the judge who sits on the
bench of the Third District Court. we
will not stand his abuse much longer.
He cannot insult honest men and revile
virtuous women with impunity by calling
them bastards and concubines." A few
SUNDAYS ago the same apostle proclaimed
himself bastard and said he gloried in it.
Apostle Grant then warmly lauded those
of the brethren who had refused to submit
to the law and called upon the court to do
it's worst. He continued: Judge Zane has
taken a course that has made him cow
ard and unfit to be called man, and con-
demnation will fall upon him and the
heads of his children. Remember there isa
limit, and this limit must soon be reached"
His remarks were greeted with shouts of
"Amen."

VALUABLE BOOK.

We acknowledge the receipt from Messrs.
Latham, Alexander & Co., bankers and cot
ton commission merchants of New York, OF
a CODY of their twelfth annual publication !:
"Cotton Movement and Fluctuations, 1880
to 1885," This annual is the most widely
used reference book in the cotton trade.
The present volume is printed and bound
in the highest style of the book makers art,
and contains tables of the receipts, exports,
deliveries and fluctuations of cotton in this
country and Europe, all very concisely and
conveniently arranged. Also, a valuable
article on the cotton trade, written express
ly for it by Thomas Ellison, of Liverpool !;
detailed reports of the last crop, and other
interesting matter. In general review of
the cotton market, under date of September
Goth, embodied in the volume, the publish
ers take the following encouraging view of
the prospect in the South:
In the South the conditions for an era of
great prosperity are better than for many
wears past That section has cheap food, less
than usual to buy, and much to sell. Be-
sides the large amount of money that will
be realized there from the sale of cotton,
other products of the seed will add im-
mensely this year to the proceeds of the cot
ton crop as whole. The oil mills in the
South have doubled in number in the last
four years. The cultivation of grain is
greatly on the increase, and manufacturing
in many new lines is making steady ad-
vance.

YORKVILLE, 8. G. /:
THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER Is, 1885.
THE EDGEFIELD TRAGEDY.

DIR. w. A. Cubreath, brother of o. T.
Culbreath, who was murdered in the town
of Edgefeld recently by a band of masked
men, has sworn out warrant for the arrest
of twenty-four citizens of Edgefield, alleged
to be implicated in the murder. The ar
rests of the accused were made without diff
fculty, and all but two or three, who are de-
tanned at home by sickness but report to the
sheriff regularly, have been lodged in Jail:
The prisoners have retained an array OF
eminent legal counsel and will apply for
bail the present week. BY direction OF the
Governor, Attorney General Miles will ap-
pear for the State with the Solicitor of the
Edgefeld circuit in the prosecution. 1t is
shown satisfactorily that Sumter Culbreath,
son of the murdered man, was not with
the band of lynchers, and knew nothing OF
the contemplated murder before its com.
mission. This removes an ugly feature OF
the case, as it was reported that he aided
and abetted in the killing.

did not arrive last week, he intended, owing to
unforeseen causes incident to removing. He
will arrive here this week, however, and though
officiating in the church here and at Lancaster,
will make his home in Yorkville. He comes to
his charge in full orders, as will be seen by the
following, which we take from the Utica o.

Rev. H. M. Allen, of Anderson, was

THE OHIO SITUATION.

The second and last debate between Gov
ernor Hoadley and Judge Foraker, the can
didates for Governor of Ohio, took place in
Cincinnati last Saturday, which closed the
canvass, preparatory to the election on
Tuesday last. Regarding the situation a
press dispatch from Columbus, dated last
Saturday, says:
A prominent Republican who is particu-
larly we'll informed as to the condition OF
things in his party told me to-day that
there was no use concealing the fact that the
Republicans had been sadly hampered in
the conduct of their campaign by lack OF
funds, and by many blunders in the man.
agement. There is certainly no such an
amount of enthusiasm manifested by the
Republican leaders as I find in the Demo-
cratic camp. Every moment of time is
taken advantage of by the Democrats. They
have a we'll organized body of systematic
workers, who are engaged from early morn
ing till midnight in every part of the State.
The reports from every township are most
gratifying.
John Sherman is working for his party
with desperate energy but even he has lost
courage to some extent. On train coming
from Centreville to Columbus last week,
Mr.. Sherman was overheard to say to COM
panion that there were many discourage.
ments, and the Republican party had hard
fight before them, virtually admitting his
fear of defeat. In Cincinnati the feeling
against Mr.. Sherman on account of his seek
ing to revive old war issues, is especially
bitter, for the city has been greatly benefit
ted by the development of Southern inter.
ests. The leading merchants, irrespective OF
party, denounce the circulation OF Mr.. Sher-
mans views as in any way rejecting the
sentiment of the people.

A BLAST AT HE'LL GATE.-The great
explosion for which preparations have been
making for several years for the purpose OF
clearing the distractions in New York har-
bor, was made last Saturday, when "F'lOod
Rockn was blown up by 2S0,000 pounds of
dynamite. A New York dispatch of Sat
urday thus describes the scene:
The two hundred and eighty thousand
pounds of dynamite under Flood Rock, Hell
Gate, has JUS: been exploded. The shock
was plainly felt at the lower end of the
city. Fully $4,000 people lined the shores
of the river when the explosion occurred,
while scores of excursion steamers, their
docks black with people, awaited the shock.
At precisely .13 O'Clock the earth trembled
and the bosom of the river was pierced with
a mighty upheaval of rocks and timbers.
Up, UP went the gltterng masses of water
until it seemed that they would never stop.
At height of two hundred feet the up
lifted waters paused in their flight, trem-
bled aloft and finally fell back again to the
river.
At this moment, when the air for hun
dreds of feet in each direction was filled
with white masses of sparkling water, the
spectacle was grand beyond expression.
The body of white foam presented the ap-
pearance of fantastic iceberg lifted bodily
Newton, the eleven year-old daughter of
Gen. Newton, who as chief engineer has
conducted the operations at He'll Gate since
the start, touched the button that set free
the electric current that exploded the sub
marine mines and shattered the mountain
of rock, lifting it out of the bosom of the
sea and crushing it into a million fragments.
1t was little Mary Newton who, when a
mere baby, touched off the first He'll Gate
explosion few feet from the point where
she stood to-day. The shock of the collapse
was felt only slightly on the Astoria shore.
Immediately after the explosions fire broke
out in the wreck and burned Justify amid
the seething waters. -Four instantaneous
photographs were taken by the corps of en-
gineers from the firing point at Astoria.
AS far as possible to judge from the posi-
tion and appearance Of the wreck, the eX-
plosion was an entire success. The shock
was felt to slight extent only in the city.
