VIM. Ebbert Punished by the Party he
Organized to Ndnap His Wife.
WESTMINSTER, Nd, October 13.-Wm.
Esbert of Mindleburg district, this
County, received lesson. last night that
he will not soon forget. About six
months ago he married a young girl.
They had lived together a short time
only when the young wife swore out a
peace warrant against her husband.
Ebbert was arrested and committed to
the County Jail. The wife, however,
failed to prosecute, and Ebbert soon
obtained his release. Meanwhile Mrs.
Ebbert had returned to her father, and
though appealed to by her husband tn
return to him, she remained obdurate.
She had had enough of married life for
the present. Ebbert then determined
to compel her to come back to him, and
organized a posse with the view of raid.
ing the house in which she had sought
refuge and carrying her off by force.
Having brought his friends together, he
communicated his intention, and they
agreed to assist him. Among the nun.
ber, however, were about a dozen who
were friendly to Mrs. Ebbert, and,
while they outwardly professed friend
ship for the.revengeful husband, deter
mined to thwart him.
Last night the band met at the ap-
pointed time and proceeded on their
mission. When within short distance
from the house the alleged friends pro-
posed to go forward and act as pickets.
When veil out of hearing they donned
white masks and, armed with snake
Whips, lay in wait for the rest of the
party. AS Ebbert passed they sprang
out into the road and charged him with
horse-steahng. Without giving him a
chance to explain they proceeded to
give him severe fogging. He was
lashed until his clothing almost hing in
shreds. Finally Ebbert broke away,
and escaped by jumping into a stream
and swimming to the opposite side. Ii
is believed that the rest of the party
with Ebbert were in the scheme, for
they calmly looked on while he was
being fogged

FIGHTING FARMERS.
BLOODY AND FATAL RIOT AT Do
THEN, ALABAMA.
Alliance Men Refuse to Obey Town
Ordinance.-A Riot Ensues Between
Farmers and Town People-Seven Per-
sons Shot-Two Killed Outright.

ATLANTA, October 15.-At 10 o'clock
last night the Constitution started out a
special engine from Bainbridge, in
charge of Colonel B. E. Russell, to in
vestigate rumored riot at Dothen, in
Henry County, Ala. The engine reached
that place at l o'clock this morning.
The facts were found to be as follows:
The Farmers Alliance of Henry
County had established a warehouse at
Dothen. The town authorities sought
to collect license from the drays which
they employed as from the drays en-
ployed by other business houses. George
NJ. Stringer, manager of the farmers
warehouse, lc test the law, undertook
to drive one of the drays himself, when
he was arrested and his trial set for
yesterday. The Alliance men attended
the trial in force, and B. Strlnger, a
relative of George NJ Stringer, the man
to be tried, hourished knife and made
for the marshal. This started the
trouble, when fusilade of shots took
place.
George N. Stringer and jeff Walker of
the Alliance force fell dead, and Peter
Tew, Green Stringer and B. Stringer
were seriously wounded. Marshal j..
L. Dominges and Deputy Marshal Park
Powell, and a town man named W. B.
Craddock were orally wounded.
The terror which reigned the rest of
the day was indescribable. The people
were in fear all night of a renewal Of
the attack. The farmers claim that the
town people treated them wrongfully,
and that the riot was inevitable under
the prorocation given.

SpARTANBURG, October 17.-[Specia

SpARTANBURG, October 17.-[Special
to The Register. The State Expert
mental Station in this city, under the
management of ex-senator Wofford,
was burned to-day at 3 o'clock. The
large two-story house was used by Mr..
Wofford as barn and gin house. When
the fire was first discovered it was small,
but everything being very dry the spread
was remarkably rapid, and before any
thing could be done the whole hause
was a mass of fame. A few head of
horses in the barn were by quick work
saved, but the other contents, with the
exception of few bales of badly DIM
aged cotton, were complete loss. The
house contained 1,500 bushels cotton
seed, 80 bushels peas, 40 bushels wheat
and large amount of provender.
A fact especially noticeable was that
the jute bagging burned much more
rapidly than the cotton bagginS. Good
authority says that had several bales
been packed in cotton that were wrapped
IN jute, they could have been saved.
Ittook hard work to save the resi-
dcnce of Mr.. Wofford, and had not the
wind been blowing from the opposite di-
rection the house would have shared
the fate of the experimental station.
The loss is estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000; insurance $500.
The house being on the outskirts of
the city, the fire department was un
able to render assistance. The amount
of insurance, it is believed, will re-
build the house.

was counting the days receipts in his
little general merchandise store about
$50 o'clock, when he heard a rap at the

A NOVEL SPECTACLE.
Doc, the Dog Trotter, Gives an Exhibi-
ton Of His Speed.

KANSAS CITY, October 14.-The spec
tacle of dog, harnessed to wagon,
trotting upon race track as fairly and
squarely as any horse, is certainly a
novel one, yet that is what was wit
messed by 100 curious persons who
gathered at Exposition Driving Park on
October 9. When Mr.. Ketchum first
announced that he had a dog which
could trot like horse, and make faster
time on the track than some horses, his
statement was received with a great
deal of incredulity, especially on the
part Of the horsemen. But that his
statement was correct in every particu-
lar was amply demonstrated when Doc,
pulling load weighing twice as much
as himself, trotted half a mile in / :52 on
a track that was rough and bumpy.
Doc is d handsome red Irish setter, 2
years and months old, and weighing
Just ffty-three pounds, and was brought
upon the Gack harnesSed to two
wheeled cart weighing thirty-six pounds,
and driven by little Willie Ketchan, a
lad weighing ffty-fve pounds. Mr.. J.
E. Riley's horse Loafer was sent with
the dog to make the pace, and at the
word they were sent away together.
Doc gave one jump to start his load,
and then at once settled into fast
square trot, which took him over the
ground in an amazingly rapid way. His
action was perfect trot, and he went
without skip or a jump. Without
urging the quarter was made in 0:55.
Around the turn, where the track was
lumpy, the pace was not quite so rapid,
but when the straight was reached the
little driver let Doc out again, and ne
came to the wire with a great burst Of
speed, finishing in the fast time Of 1:52
Doc did not seem at all distressed after
his performance, running and leapins
playfully after be was taken from the
wagon. The performance was a sur
prise, and elected much applause from
the spectators. Doc has been carefully
trained to trot, and has given frequent
exhibitions of his powers in trials and in
races against horses in various cities.

''No statement in support of Mahone's

Perhaps it is the teacher they fear.

In all soberness and truth, it is simply
Infamous for the faculty of the Colum-

officially that Professor Woodrow is
unfit to teach any student mineralogy
in the State University. He is minister
in good and regular standing in the
Southern Presbyterian Church, heartily
accepting all her standards. He is a

offense is that, unlike his traducerS, he
is student of Gods works as well as of
