MURDER and ROBBERY.
A CLUB or NEGROES ORGANIZED
TO STEAL
Cotton, Provisions, Whisky, ETC., and
II Detected Sworn TO Kill the
Informant.

CHAR -EsToN, s O., December ID
A week ago the News and Courier pub
lished dispatch from York county,
s. O., reporting that a white man
named John Lee Goode had been 70
beaten and mangled that he soon
died, and that four colored men had
been arrested as the murdereTs and
committed to jail. L. was stated that
the theory was that some OF the ne
goes had been detected by the boy in
the act OF stealing cotton from his
fathers field, and that to prevent their
arrest they killed him. There wss
great excitement in the county Ia Coz .
sequence, and several more arrests
were made. The Neps and Courier, to
get at all the fscte, sent special C )r-
respondent TO York, and will publish
tomorrow the result OF his investigs-
ton, There is evidently an alarming
state OF affairs In York county, and it
is proved conc.usively that an oTg-ni-
Eation exists among the colored peo-
pie which conIemplates murder in the
event of the detection OF any member
accused OF crime. Twenty six negroes
are now under arrest. The inquest on
the body of the murdered COY be.
fore a discreet jury brought out all
the facts. One OF the negroes
turned States evidence, and another
admitted that he killed a man who
was murdered in the county eighteen
months ago. Several Of the colored
Witnesses at the inquest swore dis
tiDctly that they had club or clau in
the county for the purpose OF etssling
cotton, provisions, whisky, etc. The
members were to steal whatever they
wanted, and If detected, were sworn
tn kill the person who detected them.
The club hsd different names, but was
generally known as the Rising Star
Lodge No. "a OF the Grand United Or
der OF National Laborers and Protect
i've Society OF North America"
The charter came from Charlotte,
N. O., and is dated December, 1884.
The charter however, would seem to
show that the society had only benev-
olent and maternal objects. Among
other things revealed at the inquest
was plot to waylay Mr.. Il iss Inman,
who was thought to have money, but
the assassin missed him.
0ne of the witnesses gave detailed
account of the murder of the poor
boy, John Lee Goode, and also the
namesof lis accomplices in crime.
The talk Of a general lynching has
abated, but the indignation and un-
rest are intense.

galls's Resolution.

WASHINGTON, December 14.-The
Secretary OF the Treasury transmitted
to the Senate report prepared by Mr..
Miller, Commissioner OF internal Rev.
enue, in answer to Senator Ingalls's re-
solution calling for information in re-
gird to the operations OF the oleomar-
garine law. By this report 1t appears

which the law went into operation,
special taxes provided for therein
have been assessed ON thirly-four
manuisc OF oleomargarine; on
204 wholesale dealers and on 20,4'5
retail dealers. The number Of pounds
OF oleomergsrine assessed at 2 cents
per pound is 4,430,l40. A table
Is given, showing the number of per-
sons and firms who have paid the
special taxes imposed and the quantity
of oleomarGariue assessed in each
collection district OF the United States.
This shows that tho principal collec'
tions were in the First illinois Dis
trict, where 2,6l3,700 pounds were
taxed. The other districts where the
collections were above the average
were as follows: Colorado, 10l, 95l
pounds; Kansas, 27S,551; Third Mas
sachu5etts District, 165, 1894 First New
York District, 1911 ,079; Second New
York District, 255, 454; Rhode Island,

lishments, 10 are in the First Illinois
District, in Ksnsas, 3 in the Second
New York District, 8 in the Eigh-
teenth Ohio District and in
Rhode Island. None of the
other districts contain more than
two factories. The wholesale dealers
are confined principally to the follow
ing districts: First Illinois, second
Massachusetts,, first Michigan, Rhode
Island and Louisiana. There are not
more than four Wholesale dealers IN
any one Of the other districts. TIE 10.

All Medical Authortties

Agree that catarrh is no more nor less
than an Inflammation of the lining
membrane of the nasal air passages.
Nasal cStarrh and all catarrhal afec-
ton OF the head are not diseases OF

to treat them rs such, No conscien-
tious physician ever attempts to do 30.
1t is held by eminent medical men
that sooner or later specific will be
found for every disease from which
humanity suffers. The facts Justify
us in assuming that for catarrh al

very few people in the north have any in

proceeds to enlighten the readers OF his

ing Florida produces much less than one
tenth OF the oranges consumed in the
United States. The crop OF one year ago
being eighty millions and worth two
million dollars.
Now as a matter Of fact, the Florida
crop for the year i6S4-5 was about double
the above named number, and did not to
net the owners over one.tifth the sum per

Of all foreign oranges in all the United
States is generally lees than ESQ. 900, 900

been ruinously low for the foreign fruit
Florida's little crop OF one million boxes
has in the past two years thoroughly
giutted every important market in the

HARDSHIP AND HONESTY.

A case of peculiar hardship, COM
bined with honesty, about as follows,
has been reported to this office =
A Portuguese. family, consisting of
husband, wife, and some children,
recently came from one of the other
islands to Honolulu, in order that
the husband, who was very sick
man, might. have the benefit of me-
dical treatment. On arriving here
the man was in weak condition,
and consulted physician. The
consultation fee and medicine
amounted to $500, which the pa
tient had not the means to pay, and
said so, at the same time stating
that he would liquidate the bill as
soon as able. This was satisfactory
to the physician; but not to the
wife of the patient, who was so
anxious TO discharge the liability,
that she went at once and procured
the amount by selling portion OF
her husbands clothing, and with
the proceeds thereof paid the bill.

CApTa,N CUTLER TALKS.

The 70 lowing notes are CLEANED
from an interview with Captain Cut
Ter, of the harkentine Klikitat.
Said the Captain, we left this
port some hours ahead of the Mary
Winkelman, not long ago, and after
travelling distance to leeward, we
entered a calm. Towards evening,
the Mary Winkelman hove in sight.
She came down on us with spank
ing breeze. Her sails were trimmed
for the wind, and when we got it we
shot ahead like kite, and the next
morning the Mary Wlnkelman was
astern, mere speck on the horizon.
We had q brush with the Amelia, on
our last trip. She left ahead of us,
but we overhauled her on the second
day out. We were close together
for some time, SO near that Captain
Newhall got out an empty sugar
barrel, with no head, for fender.
No tenders were needed, however,
as we did not bump. What sur
prlsed me most was, that the Kliki-
tat being light, held the wind so
nicely. The Amelia being loaded,
laid very close to the wind. In a
heavy wind we can walk away from
the Amelia, but with light breeze
we get left. During the last trip of
the Klikitat going up, she made be-
tween 245 and 800 miles day, and
you can say what you will about the
Consuelo, w. G. Irwin, Discovery,
Mary Winkelman, and other clip
pers, but in rough weather and
strong winds, give me the KIikitat.

INSUFFICIENT CAUSE.

The Honolulu Police Court pro-
ceedings do not represent, by many,
all the cases of arrest that are
brought to the Police Station. In
stances are numerous in which the
Marshal, Deputy Marshal Station
keeper exercises wise discretion in
dismissing persons arrested, not
finding sufficient cause to lock them
up for trial. A case that occurred
last Saturday evening is cited as a
sample A young, thick set native,
apparently from 1S to 20 years old,
and four Cinnamon were brought to
the Station-House by a policeman,
who explained that the Cinnamon
"hauled in" on the native because he
was rubbing them down" with his
hands rather roughly, the evidences
of which rubbing were distinctly
visible in the faces of two of them,
and he (the policeman) took them
all in charge for disturbing the peace
of the streets. The native admitted
the truth of the accusation, but
pleaded in justification that the
Cinnamon were ''poking fun" at
him, and would not let him alone,
and he considered it his duty to
teach them manners, which he was
engaged in doing when arrested.
One of the Celestials was candid
enough to confess they were in the
wrong, although it was meant for
play, and deserved all they got
Whereupon the whole caboodle were
dismissed with caution. The same
evening another native was ''run in"
from another quarter, followed by q
Chinaman, who was his accuser. AS
soon as the arrested man appeared
under the Station-House light, his
accuser looked him in the face, and
said, 'sHe no right man; me mis-
take" He, too, was set at liberty.
