sCHARFER ACQUITTED.
The Negroes Excited but the Accused
Not Harmed.

MOI harmed.
CHARLESTON. S. c., Oct. 19.-Fred Schar-
fer, the white boy whose careless handling
of firearms came so near causing a race
war at Mount Pleasant in August last, was
to-day tried in the Berkely court on the
charge of murder. In the woman's dying
statement she said she never had
hard feelings with the accused,
but that he shot her intention
ally. This last statement was ruled out
by the court on motion of the counsel of the
accused, and the jury returned verdict of
not guilty. There was some commotion
among the negroes in court on the heannounce-
ment of the verdict, but Scharfer was
finally brought safely TO the city.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS.
All the evidence showed that the shoot
ing was accidental, but there seems to be
no doubt that the boy was exceedingly
careless, not to say reckless, in handling the
f1rearm and public opinion is that he
should be punished in some way. This esca-
pade caused the calling out of two compa-
MES of state troops, to protect him from the
incensed negroes of Mount Pleasant on the
day of the killing.

The Governments Assistance in the

WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-Senator Ransom
of North Carolina has obtained the marine
band from the war department and flags
and bunting from the navy department., to
be used in the cen tennial celebration at
Fayetteville of the ratification by North
Carolina Of the federal constitution Nov.
81 17S9. The fact that jefferson Davis is
announced to be there on his progress
through the south has stirred some repub-
lican partisans to ask why the marine
band and flags should have been promised
by the secretaries of the navy and war de-
partments. In this connection attention is
drawn to the fact that Secretary Tracy re-
Gently refused to permit the marine band
to go to Philadelphia. Secretary Tracy
said to-day that the marine band was going
to Fayetteville because that was a state oc-
casion, and had been refused to Philadel-
phia because that was private occasion.

Scale in the Election.

Scale in the Election.
MANCHESTER, Oct. 19.-Mr. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, in a speech here
tonight denied that home rule was the real
motive power in deciding the recent cleo
tionS. The Gladstonian successes, he de-
clared, we're due to the socialist agitation.
The Irish tenants wanted home rule in order
TO get power to appropriate somebody's
property. Mr.. Gladstone might not look
beyond home rule, but Mr.. Labouchere and
others cared less for home rule than for
social spoliation. The Gladstonians were
trying to debauch the nation and destroy
tie union. He could not believe that per-
manent power would be secured TO party
that outraged the fundamental principles
upon which every civilized society rested.

The Constitution tells the story Of the
breaking of the news to Judge Guerry, who
was in Atlanta, as follows:
One Of the saddest scenes ever witnessed
in Atlanta occurred at the ssKimball house
last night. Judge James Guerry stood be-
tween his two friends, President duBignon

were in a jovial mood. Life was bright
to all three. To none Of them more bright
at that moment than to Judge Guerry. He
had lately been raised to the judgeship by
an overwhelming majority Of the legis-
lature. He had warm and loyal friends,
and there was not on the horizon q cloud
the size OF q mans hand. All at once the
scene changed, and everything was as black
as IL the sky had turned TO brass above him.
Mr.. duBignon had just bantered him with
a friendly jest when Judge Guerry was
handed telegram He opened 1t calmly,
glanced at the contents, and In an instant
the strength and brightness OF life was
gone. He almost sank 30 the hoor Mr..
duBignon read the telegram. 10 contained
these words: "Claude aud Russell killed
