HOW SOUTH CAROLINA VOTED.
A Solid Democratic Delegation Returned
to Congress.

CHARLESTON, November 6.-The
election passed off quietly all over the
State as far as can De learned The
fourth Brigade Of State troops was
under arms all day, under the command
of Adiutant General Bonhanl, in the
expectation Of their services being
needed i'll the interior Of the State to
preserve the peace and protect the polls.
4 special train was kept at the disposal
of the State, but up to this hour IS p.
M. no call has been made for their
services.
AdyiccS received here indicate the
election of . clear Democratic delega-
ton to Congress. The only doubtful
district is the seventh, but Elliott is
very popular in Beaufort, and Berkeley,
the other black county, IS divided up
by two Republican candidates, Miller
and Simmons. 1t is thought that
Elliott will get from 800 to 1000 plural
ity.
The Democratic County ticket in
Berkeley is elected by handsome ma
iority, and the latest advices indicate
the election of the fusion County ticket
in Beaufort, as against the regular Re=
publican ticket.
GEORGETOWN ELECTS THE FUSION
TICKET.
GEORGETOWN, November G.-Returns
come in very slowly, but as far as IN
show that the majority for Harrison
and Miller will not be more than 800.
The fusion ticket is elected by small
vote.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. There was
very quiet election throughout the
State. Very few Republican votes were
polled. The Democratic electoral ticket
is elected by about 10000 to 30, 1000 ma
jority. No opposition.

AN OUTRAGE NEAR CENTRAL.

News.]
CENTRAL, S. G., November IA
dastardly outrage was committed upon
Mrs. Nj. Nav, who lives in retired
spot about four miles north of this
place. On Saturday her son and
daughter-in-law, the only ones living
with her, came to town, leaving her all
alone.
About - O'Clock young copper col
lored negro, about eighteen or twenty
years of age, came into the house and
seized her. She creamed for help, but
no help was near He then ran his
hand into his pocket and told her that
if she screamed again that he would
blow her brains out. He dragged her
from the house across a cotton patch,
into the woods about one hundred
yards from the honsn end assaulted
her, a1rer which he fled, leaving her to
drag herself back to the house.
The news spread like wild fire, and
soon bands of armed and determined
men We're searching the country for the
man.
Just before night the parties came
into town and from Information gained,
suspicion fell upon u young negro Jim
Williams, who had been a kind of
waiting boy" and drummer" for the
"Injin Doctor" since he has been here.
He was at once arrested and kept in
close custody until morning.
During the night another negro, J oe
Mayo, was taken in charge and another
Williams, the brother Of the first was
arrested this morning.
At about nine o'clock a. m. a crowd
took the negroes to Mrs. Maw's for
Identification. She cleared Joe Mayo
and Jim's brother at once, and said
she was almost sure that Jim was the
man.
Jim Williams says that he can prove
an alibi, but he will remain in custody
until tomorrow, when a preliminary
examination will be held.
Since returning to town another trail
has been started south of town, but
have not heard from it. ROVER.

EVERYTHING NOT Lost!
New Jersey Will Give Democratic
G. S. Senator Connecticut, Virginia,
Observation-Disclosures, West Fir-
ginia, New York, Indiana, Still in
Doubt Official Count Required.

Special to The Herald and News.I
COLUMBIA, $. G. November 80
D. IN. Latest news from New York
says there is nothing to change.
Special says that Harrison carried the
State.
New Jersey has undoubtedly gone
Democratic. The Democrats carry the
Legislature on joint ballot for the first
time in ten years. This assures ihe
election of a Democratic Z. $. Senator.
Virginia probably Democratic by q
few thousand.
West Virginia is in doubt and may
require the official count to decide.
Fourteen cou mites out of 81 cast one
third of the vote of that State. Repub-
lican gain of 1862.
Complete returns from Connecticut
give Cleveland 74,904, Harrison 74,5l9
Fisk ISL. Cleveland's plurality 3S7.
Returns from Indiana come in slowly.
Twenty-seven counties out of 90 show
net Republican gains of 1855. The Re
publican State Committee claim that
Harrison has carried the State by 5000
plurality, while the Democratic Com
uittee claim the State by three to six
thousand.
California is also in doubt and is
claimed by both sides.
Upon the whole it is almost certain
that Harrison is elected President and
that the Democratic majority in the
House has been materially reduced.

preparations of the Farmers Club be
true, their exhibit will be something
wonderful. But Carolina is mistress of
the main building so far, even over
shadowing in the present stage Of finish

supremacy recalls Calhounism in its
most transcendant era. But those who
imagine that South Carolina, which
was the first figure in the secession
drama, is also the last to recuperate
from the tragedy, have only to walk
the floor Of the main building. She
has erected a monument more durable
than brass and loftier than the pyra-

between Carolina and the rest of the

Anderson County has a Criminal Sensa-
finn

WILLIAMSON, Nov. 5.-On Friday
night last, the famous Indian Doctor"
Floyd Stafford, was robbed of about
nine hundred dollars all in nickels,
dimes, &c. The parties under arrest
are Gus Poore, Mute Richey, (col, and
Ben Robinson, also colored. Mr.. Poore
has been going to the doctors house
great deal pretending to be very friend
ly, and on last Friday night, came for
the doctor to go to Il corn shucking, but
the doctor refused to go, and after
awhile he came back and told the doc
tor he was feeling bad, and wanted to
lie on his bed, and in few minutes
jumped up apparently to vomit but, it
is said, for the purpose of ofwhispcring to
his comrades. The doctor went to sleep
not thinking that his money would be
gone. About twelve o'clock the thief
crept in and got his money, but was
caught by the doctor before he got very
far, and carried to Mr.. Math Cox,
where he was when your correspon-
dent saw him this morning Poore re-
fused to tell anything until the trial,
which will be held at Belton to-day.
The doctor seems to be doing very
we'll where he is. He has two nice
horses and COW, and did have nine
hundred dollars, but where it is now
nobody knows.

Four Girls at a Birth.

WORCESTER, November Mrs.
Frank A. De Croft Of Milbury gave
birth to four girl babies this afternoon.
Mother and children are doing nicely,
but the father is badly broken up. The
children are all bright and active, and
cry with as much spirit and in as good
voice es any we'll regulated baby ought
to do at their age. The smallest weighs
nearly three pounds, and the others
nearly six pounds each. The attending
physician says there is no reason why
all the children should not live. The
occurrence is the talk of the town, and
general interest is manifested in the
young woman who has so unexpectedly
increased the population Of the town.

An Explosion in a Dentists Office.
lSnecial to the WOrld.l


ORANGEBURG, November 3.-An ac-
cident occurred at the dental office Of
DR.. l.. S. Wolfe this morning which
came very near being quite serious. DR..
Fred Rickenbaker had set the vulca-
nizer at work and step from the work
ing room into the parlor to see pa
tient, forgetting the fact that the vul-
caniZer could not stand much more
than 3l3 degrees at which point he left
it. DR.. Wolfe came in the office a few
minutes after his assistant had left, and
went over to where the vulcanizer sat
upon the table. Just as be got in about
two feet of it the vulcanizer exploded,
part of the sopper boiler passing within
a hairs breadth of his head and striking
the opposite wall. Had this missile
struck the Doctor upon the head it
would doubtless have been his fate to
rest awhile before resuming his work Of
dentistry again.

1Condensed from the Lutheran ElsltorJ
Last Sunday, Rev. w. c. Schaetfer,
pastor of Lutheran Chapel, Newberry,
preached his first anniversary sermon.
\ large congregation was present, every
seat in the church being occupied. Inc
pastor spoke in an earnest manner oi
the need Of holy living and separation
from the world and its allurenlents that
VIC might press forward toward the
prize Of the high calling i'll Christ
Jesus. He eXhorted his congregation
TO be more faithful and harmonious III
the coming year, inasmuch as the pas,
toral year just closing had witnessed
much progress in the spiritual and tenn
poral affairs of his people.
AS result of the work III the nfst
year of his work in Newberry, ReV.
Schaetter stated that he had preached
102 sermons, made fl lectures, received
II members into the church, performed
marriages and made 893 pastoral vlsltss,
The congregation contributed TOR all

eign missions, and education, the sum OF
81, ,76S.7l. This is a splendid showing,
and eXcels the record of former years.
All the obligations Of the congregation
have been met, and everything is NOV
ing along harmoniously.
The Common Service was used for
the first time at this service. The con-
gregation united heartily in It's intro
duction, and its beauty and solemnity
impressed every one.
THE REFORMATION FESTIVAL.
The anniversary of the Reformation
was celebrated at the evening service.
The exercises of the evening were
opened by chorus Of twenty-five
voices in Holy, holy, Lord" etc., with
cornet and organ accompaniment. The
Scripture lesson was read by Rev. Prot.
4. q. Voigt, followed by prayer Dy Rev.
Prof }. B. Fox.
Luther's battle hymn. "a safe strong
hold our God is STILL" was sung with
splendid effect by the chorus. 1t had
never been rendered so well in the
church Oh any former occasion.
Hon. Geo. B. Cromer then delivered
an address appropriate to the occasion.
The scenes in the life of Luther were
forcibly portrayed: and the address, on
account of its conciseness, sparkling
sentences and departure from beaten
paths, could scarcely be excelled. The
earnest attention OF the audience was
directed to the speaker throughout its
delivery. -,
The exercises were closed by the
singing of "Giorious things OF Thee
are spoken
\ large audience was present, the
seating capacity of the chnrch being
taxed to its utmost.
The music Was very good.

RIOT NEAR ANDERSON.
Armed Negroes Fire Into White Men al
Starr Station-Story of the Affair.
Especial to the vyur1u. I

ANDERSON, November 4.-Seven ne
groes, Peter Hall and five of his sons,
and John Sadler, were put in Jail here
to-day charged with riot, assault with
intent to kill, etc. The difficulty oc-
Cured at Starr Station, on the Savan-
nah Valley Railroad, about ten miles
from Anderson, yesterday afternoon.
The Farmers Alliance and Masons
held their meeting there yesterday, and
there We're a goodly number Of white
men present. \ white man named
Bowie got in a row over an old feud
with a negro named Hall. Three of
the Halls got hold of Bowie, and he
fired, missing them. The negroes then
opened fire on every white man that
made his appearance. They emptied
their pistols and fell back to where they
had their guns in hiding. Then they
returned and opened fire on the white
men, who had to get behind wagon
body to save themselves. The wagon
body was literally filled with bullets.
The negroes then returned across the
railroad, reloaded, and defied the white
men, daring them to cross tie railroad.
When the firing first commenced, Mr..
J. G.. Hamlin, with whom most Of the
negroes lived, stepped out of a store,
when three of them deliberately fired
on him with pistols.
The negroes were arrested at the
house of Peter Hall. Early this morn
ing Trial Justice Bryan went to the
house and asked them to surrender.
They refused and slammed the door in
his face. He then called up some thirty
special constubles and as ain asked them
to surrender, which they refused to do.
The men outside could hear some of
the negroes scutfiing with others to pre-
vent them from opening fire on the
trial justice and his constables. Fire
was applied to the house, and they sur
rendered, but even then refused until
certain officers promised them that no
harm should be done them, and the
law should take its course.
Ten negroes, five shotguns, one mus
ket and one pistol were found in the
house. Some of the guns were cooked
when turned over to the officers. The
negroes slept Oh their arms all night.
One white man was shot in the leg,
one negro was shot in the leg and
another injured by being struck on the
head with a rock. The negroes fired
more than thirty shots, and it is
miracle that no one was killed.
The train left there as the fight was
going on. The engineer reports that
after leaving Starr he saw other negroes
running towards the fight armed, which
shows they were anticipating fight.
The negroes here are excited, and
claim that it was all done to frighten
them before the election. Mr.. Press
Allen, one Of the special constables, ac-
cidently shot himself in the hand to-
day.
