NcDOW's HORRIBLE sTORY.
Ths slayer of Captain Dawson Cody
Describes the Murder.


CHARLESTON, S. c., June 27.-Dr.
Mellow told the story of his killing
Captain Dawson twice to- day-once
on the direct and again on the cross
examination. He was on the stand
for two hours. He presented a bag
gard appearance and was as white as a
sheet when he began to testify, but
before his story was told became per-
fectly calm and apparently indifferent
| He testified to just what his counsel
wished. There were several spatS be-
| tween counsel for the state and de-
| Tense as to the leading character of the
Termination. but the court generally
sustained the defense.
Mellow said that Captain Dawson
came to his Office, rang the bell and
was admitted by him. Dawson was
domineering in his manner and warned
| him that he must not speak to the
| French maid or come upon his pre-
| misses. He replied that he would speak
to her whenever he chose and until he
| (DaWson) could show his author
ity for fOrbidding him to speak to her
Dawson then said that he would pub
lish him in the papers, whereupon ht
| (McDOwl denounced him as an infer
nal scoundrel and ordered him out OF
the Office. Upon this Dawson STRUCK
him upon the head with cane and fol
lowed it up with two blows from hi!
hand, when he (McDow) believed him
self to be in danger of his life, sho
him. Dawson exclaimed in half artic
ulate tones, You have killed me-
and Mellow replied: ''Yes.-you
You came to kill me, but l have killed
you" Dawson died almost instantly
Mellow sailed that he was so appalled,
by the effect of his shot that he los
his reason and would have rescuscita
ted him if he could. He then tried t.
bury the body in the closet under thu
stairs, but failing, dragged his victim
back again into the office, wiped tn,
blood from his face and finally, afte
two or three hours, surrendered him
self.
The witness was not excited in givinI
his graphic account of the tragedy. AL
together it wasa horrible story. What
effect McDow's statement will hav
on the case no one can tell.
The state will take up the case to
morrow 1t will probably consume tn
rest of the week.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Washing-
ton dispatches to several papers dated
June oath, quoted the president as hav-
ing spoken as follows in a recent con-
Yention with southern delegation.
Perhaps / comprehend this race
question better than you gentlemen
think. and Sympathize with your feel
ingS in regard to the colOred people
more than you know. Certainly in
your place l should feel as you do. Per-
sOnai contact with an alien race in so
cial, political and professional life
would not be agreeable to me. l would
not like to see negro mayor or post
master of Indianapolis, nor represent
ing the power and authority of the
United SataeS in fiscal or admins
trative capacity. at my own home,
it would not be agreeable to me to prac-
tice my profession before a federal
Judge, or to meet negro at the bar
as United States attorney. l do not
intend to impose upon the people of
the south, conditions which / would
think rather hard if they were i'm
posed upon me-"
Senator Bruce and auditor Lynch
called at the Associated Press office
| and requested as wide a circulation as
| possible be given to the following
statement made by them in relation to
the above. They felt fully authorized
to say that the report of such a con-
versation is erroneous. They have
had occasion to call on the president
several times, and on each occasion he
freely expressed himself on matters
pertaining to the colored race, and
they do not hesitate to say that his
views upon that subject are fair and
just and will commend him to TIT
appreciation of the colored people
throughout the country. The las
time they called on him was on Wed
nesday, when they presented the ad
dress recently adopted by the confer
ence of colOred men held at jackson
Miss on June 18th. That address
among other things Ddeclares, ''Tha
Mr.. Harrison is president not of on
} section, but of the whole country
of one race, but of all racss of whic
our citizenship is composed. His am
bition is to destroy rather than pre-
!, mote race prejudice and sectional an
mostly. The president assured tn
, delegation that his own position upo
: that subject could not have been moi
accurately stated. Colored men, h
! declared, should not ask to be appoint
ed to Office simply on account of the
? color, nor should the color be a groun
; of objection. In view of all thes
facts, it is the opinion of Messrs. Lyme
and Bruce that if the colored poop
will only be patient and confide in tt
{ president, they will not be disa
pointed in their just and reasonab
l expectations. Besides, the appoin
ments already made by the presidel
o ought, they believe, to satisfy ever
|. body that he entertains no such sent
t ments as those he is alleged to ha'
i expressed in the above dispatch. Th'
Il assert positively that he entertain'
no such sentiments.

VVannmaker D1Tends Removals.

New YORK, June 26.-The Mail and
Express tonight prints long inter
view with Postmaster General Wanna
maker, in which he says: Removals
are not made rapidly. There has often
been much criticism simply because of
the politics involved, when the real
cause of the removal has been drunken
ners, neglect of duty and clearly proven
untitness to hold the important Office
of postmaster. In some cases post
masters have returned to their business
occupations and allowed their offices to
drift. The people who are drawing
their pay from the government ought
to be compelled to give faithful service
or resign, and if they do not. the de
partment will recommend their remov-
al. no matter how much criticism and
misrepresentation of the fact may be
made"

CHICAGO, June 2s.-The Chicago Il
Alton is growing more and more ag-
gressive. It has sent it's agents into
Kansas and is soliciting live stock bus
mess at points on The Rock Island
road, and on shipments thus obtained,
it proposes to pay the Rock Island its
local rate to the Missouri river and
take the traffic itself from there to
Chicago, accepting as its proportion of
the through rate whatever remains af-
ter deducting the Rock Islands local
rate west of the river. The Alton has
on it's war paint and should the Rock
Island resent this move, there seems
certain TO be lively row.

Reduction In Commodity Rates Enev-
liable

CHICAGO, III, June Pit is now
pretty generally conceded that the Jaw
commodity tariff which goes into effect
on business to St. Paul, July 5, VIII al
so be extended TO the Missouri river.
The Central Iowa s. st. Paul and Kan
sas City roads will carry the low rates
as far as MarshalItoWn. Moreover, the
Sioux City merchaHtS are already de-
manding that they be placed on an
equitable basis as compared with st.
Paul. and the Illinois Central is DIS
posed to favor the reduction of rates
demanded by its Sioux City patrons. A
general reduction in commodity rates
10 Missouri river points seems there
fore inevitable.
