The Three C's Railroad Invites Union to
Vote More Money.
Especial to the News and Courier.

Especial to the News and Courier.
The managers of the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago Railroad have Civ
en- the town of Union and the neigh
borhood of kelton's another bid for the
contemplated line between Black Sta
ton and Augusta, via Union, Newber-
ry and Edgefeld. After subscription
of fifty thousand dollars by Union
Township the town of Union is now in
vited to vote Il tax of thirty thousand
dollars, and Black Station and Kelton's
are invited to vote twenty thousand be-
tween themselves in addition to what
they both have already voted, to secure
knock-down to them in the great
auction for this "devoutly to be wished
for" railroad. This town will no doubt
vote this additional tax, for there is a
good majority of the freeholders who
have petitioned the town council for an
election.
While it is evident that majority Of
the voting free-holders of the town are
ready, willing and waiting to vote for
the additional railroad taN," yet it is
evident that the patience ofthe patriotic
but tax-ridden public, has almost been
exhausted. Still, this voting majority
honestly believing that the redemption
of Unions prosperity lays in the con-
struction of this contemplated line Of
railway, and that the end will justify
the means, are willing to entail upon
their posterity this heritage, burden
Of taxation.
There is no doubt that the road will
be great addition to the town, and a
great convenience to the travelling pub
lie. 1t will add a million dollars in
taxable property to the county, and
may be the means whereby Union
County can capture the country trade
which would otherwise 60 to adjoining
counties. There is still less doubt, that
if the vote of more taxes is all that is
needed to capture the Three Cs branch,
Union will get it. Ifthc managers will
be as prompt in building their road as
our people are to vote taxes for their
construction, then Augusta should have
cotton buyers here son time" next fall.

THE TOMB OF A MILLIONAIRE.
How the Stanford Mausoleum will Eclipse
any Tomb Of Modern Time.
From the Pittsburg Press. I

From the Pittsburg Press. -.
A San Francisco correspondent thus
describes the great mausoleum now in
course of erection by Senator Stanford:
The structure will be in the form Of
temple and will be twenty-five feet
square. There will be a double row of
massive granite columns supporting the
roof of the portico at the front. On
each side Of the entrance will be ma
jestic sphinx carved from asingle block
of granite Heavy bronze gates close
the entrance and within are solid doors
of polished granite and are to be built
in the most substantial manner.
The interior Of the mausoleum will be
done in white marble. The ceiling will
be single arch of marble, with a span
of twenty-five feet. There will be no
crypt or vaults, and provision will be
made for the remains of only three per-
sons-those Of the Senator and Mrs.
Stanford and the son. These will oc-
cupy sarcophagi placed on the three
sides of the chamber. The body of the
son, over which DR.. Talmage preached
the funeral Grafton nearly two years
ago, is now in areceiving vault in San
Francisco, awaiting the completion OF
the tomb. The sarcophagi are being
made in Italy. Each one will be hewn
from a single block of the purest white
marble. The lid will be made Of a
separate piece and the exterior orna-
mented with the most exquisite cary
ing. The casket containing the bodies
will be enclosed in leaden casing be-
fore being placed in the sarcophagus.
Each receptacle will contain an appro-
pirate inscription and the name "Stan-
ford" will appear over the entrance.
The mansoleum will be completed
during the coming SUMMER, and when
finished will be a fitting abode for the
remains Of one of the most successful
men of the day-a railroad magnate, a
millionaire and a philantropist who is
building university that will cost be
tween sl5,OOo,OOO and $4,000, 900; a
man who lives magnificently, with
wealth and friends and everything thai
makes life worth living, yet who has
had the great sorrow of losing his son
his only child, and when he and his
wife are called to another world anG
their remains occupy their stately tomb
the family history will end.

CHINA's GREAT EARTHQUAKES.
Chasms Yawn, Engulfing Thousands, aud
Water Red as Blood Comes Forth.
From the New York Herald ]

from the New I Ork Herald.
LONDON, April AN Oriental mail
brings some particulars of the earth
qake in China just before Christmas. 1t
proves to have been of appalling mag
nitude. Fifteen thousand people per-
ished in the course of the four days,
during which at uncertain intervals the
shocks continued. This estimate is, of
course, to some extent suppositious, be-
cause it is scarcely possible, after so TIRE
mendous visitation, to ascertain for
long while the exact loss of life. How
many have been injured appears to
defy computation yet.
The capital district of Yunnan is alb
soluteiy one mass of ruins. More than
five thousand persons We're killed by
the falling of houses.
At Lainon, another Chinese town,
the effect on buildings has been almost
as terrible, with the additional horror
of the earth yawning till a frightful
chasm was produced, from which red
colored water was elected. The shaking
of the earth seems to have been follow
eddy subterranean CONFUSION of the
most awful kind.
Further north, at Lo Chan, where
ten thousand met their doom, the as
pect of the country has been complete
ly changed. Large tracts of land sud-
denly disappeared in the course of the
visitation, and in their place lakes
formed.

APRETTY WOMAS'S VENGEANCE.
She Tries to Prevent Confirmation of the
Man who Deceived her Husband.

WASHINGTON, March IS, lSSS.-For
several months past q pretty little wo,
man has haunted the corridors Of the
National Capitol. Sheis seeking revenge
upon the man whom she claims has in
iured her husband. She may not sue,
ceed in her object. In fact, the chances
are greatly against it. But no one
will deny that she has made a plucky
fight, and that if her cause were more
just she would carry with her the bless
ings of half the people of Washington.
The pretty woman, to be more eX-
plicit, is Mrs. lie Breton, Of San Fran
cisco. Sheis trying to defeat the con-
firnation of Major Rathborne, the pres
ent United States Consul General at
Paris. Mrs. LIE Breton claims that one
of the conditions of Major Rathbone's
appointment was the selection of her
husband as Vice Consul. This agree
ment, she says, Major Rathborne de-
clined to carry out until confronted by
the possibility that his nomination
would not be confirmed. Then, and
not until then, did Major Rathbone do
Mr.. LIE Breton tardy justice. When
the appointment was finally made Mr..
LIE Breton refused to accept it.
SEEKING HIS REJECTION.
Upon the assembling Of Congress
Mrs. lie Breton came to Washington
and set resolutely at work to secure
Major Rathbone's rejection. Her high
social standing, her youth and beauty,
together with an energy that may we'll
be described as indomitable, insured her
respectful hearing from all with !'hom
she spoke. She succeeded in enlisting
the sympathy of such prominent demo-
cratic Senators as Morgan, of Alabama,
Butler, of South Carolina, and Voor-
hees, Of Indiana. These gentlemen
have delayed action in this matter for
the past four months. Meanwhile
Major Rathbone's friends have also
been at work, and the result is that on
Thursday of this week the Commerce
Committee, before whom the nomina-
ton is pending, will report it favorably
to the Senate.
This action on the part arises from the
fact that recent developments have
shown that in delaying Mr.. LIE Breton's
appointment Major Rathbone was act
ing under specific instructions from
Secretary Bayard, who wished the new
Consul General to become familiar with
his duties before any changes in the
personal Of the office were made. Sew,
eral members of the Senate committee
said to-day that a great injustice has
been done to Major Rathbone in so long
Withholding his confirmation. The six
Senators from the Pacific slope will
vote in his favor, and it is believed that
the opposition to his confirmation Will
be comparatively insignificant.

WHOLESALE MASSACRE.
King John of Abyssinia Slaughters all the
Inhabitants of Malental.

[Cable to the New York Herald.
ROME, April 3, 1sSs.-The Abys-
sinians have captured the village Of
Malental, the inhabitants of which
were friendly to the Italians, and have
massacred all the men, women and
children in the place.
Scouts learn that Ras Alula is leading
the Abyssinian retreat in the direction
Of Ghinda an Asmara. King John slept
al Ghinda last night. 1t is supposed
that the King ordered the retreat be-
cause he feared to lose prestige by the
conclusion Of a public treaty of peace.
Signor Viale, Minister Of War, con-
sidered, however, that the negotiations
for peace between General San Maria
no, commander of the italian forces,
and King John of Abyssinia have col
lapsed, and that an engagement be-
tween the two armies is imminent.
General Sam Marzano estimates the
Abyssinian force at seventy thousand
men, most of whom are armed with
breachloaders.
TIE SITUATION AS REPORTED IN LON
DON.
LONDON, Apri! 3, 1SSS.-Massowah
adviccs say that the Abyssinian troops
have disbanded, with the exception Of
10000 men, who are watching the
frontier. The Abyssinians neither ex
pect that the Italians will attack them
nor intend to attack Italians unless the
Italians advance to the plateau.
The heat in Massowah is intense
and others have been frequent cases O
typhus among the Italian troops. The
sanitary condition of the place is de
plorable. 1t will be necessary for the
greater part Of the Italian expedition tt
re-embark for Europe.

RAPID PROGRESS.
The Present Century-What Will the Twen-
tieth See:
ALBANY Evening Journal.

1t is not to be wondered at that in
the olden times men lived slowly,
though the stage coach was fast enough
and that two days was quick time for
journey from New York to Phila-
delphia, and four days from New York
to Boston, journey now made in lit
tie more than four hours; that public
libraries were unknown and the an
nual almanac took the place Of the
daily newspaper. We live III differ
ent world from that of our fathers.
No other race has ever known its like.
It has witnessed transformations sur
passing the greatest Of miracles. 1t
has seen cities spring up on the prairies
and become magnificent centers of
business and population in less than a
score Of years. It has seen one Of the
greatest cities Of the world, the rival Of
the greatest cities of the world, the
rival of the oldest and grandest centers
of foreign wealth, rise in its might at
the ocean gateway of the empire State.
What will the twentieth century see?
Will its restless people be satisfied with
present means of communication and
intercourse? Will electricity, with its
marvellous development, continue to
unfold it's weird resources and afford
the vital energy that shall Danish time
and distance altogether? Will nations
learn to leave the arts of war to the past
and submit to the arbitrament of peace?
Will the cry of human liberty ring
around the world without once reach
ing the ear Of the slave? Will the
divine dispensation be sufficient to
bring unity to the Christian churches?
Will poverty be banished, ignorance
and superstition give way to the march
of ofcivilization and Christianity, and will
the millennium dawn? Whatever may
be the future, mans position to-day is
truly one of unparalleled grandeur.
The night that ushers in the new year
of 1900 will witness the most magnif-
cent celebration of modern times. The
whole world will unite in welcoming
the new year and the birth of the
twentieth century. May all our read
ers be spared to witness the scene and
participate in its unpictured and un-
written glories.

NEW JERSEYS MILK LAW.
Farmers Complain that 1t is Too Sever,
and the Standard is Too High.


The milk producers of the lower New
jersey counties are enlisted in a movement
to amend the present milk law, which they
claim to be harsh and calculated to drive
people out of the business. There are two
, points in the law which are strongly OBJ.
jected 20. These are the standard require.
ments of u per cent. of solids in milk and
the omission to compel the prosecution to
prove an intent upon the part of defend
ant to adulterate milk. As it now stands
the State has merely to prove by analysis
that the milk is below the II per cent
standard to obtain conviction. The de.
sire is to lower the standard to lis pei
cent, which is the standard of England
| and France, and which is contended by
experts to be the proper one.
DR.. Newton, the State Milk Inspector
states that the average result of his
analysis is per cent. below the present
| standard, which is also taken as proof that
the law shonld be amended. President
Burroughs, of the State Board of Agri-
culture, says that the u per cent. standard
is too close to the line, and does not allow
for the conditions of poor pasturages from
| droughts, the scarcity Of food, or bad
water george ABBOTT, the largest milk
producer in South Jersey, who became en-
tangled in the milk law last summer, in
| the preparation of his defense secured an
| analysis from thirty-seven different daries
and these nearly all showed a decline OF
from to 5 per cent. from the II per cent
| standard
The two amendments in question to the
] present Act have been recommitted to the
Senate Committee on Agriculture, and or
Wednesday hearing will be given the
farmers and milk-producers in its behalf
President Burroughs states that he desire:
to see as large representation as possible
on that occasion.
One result of the high standard set W
by New Jersey is that the milk of thai
State is preferred in Philadelphia to the
