A SHOTGUN SENATOR.
A Sketch Of the Career Of Wade Hamp-
tons Successor.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec 10 Although a
young man Col Irby has history, and
not very savory one He has the reputa-
ton of being "a bad man." although il is
said he has since reformed and Joined the
Baptist church. Back in the seventies he
was outlawed by the Democratic governor,
Simpson, who succeeded Hampton, for
numbering a man named kilgore in
Laurens county. A reward of $50 was
offered for his arrest. but he fed the state
and remained away until the thing blew
over, when he returned to Laurens and
with the aid of g. ". Shell, then clerk of
the court and now Alliance member Of
congress, secured An acQuittal.
Irby's next exploit was to arm himself
with shotgun while he was painting the
town of Laurens red and defy the town
authorities to arrest him. He paid fine
for this Then some decent man offended
him in some way, and lrby took one of his
negro friends to the offenders plantation,
gave him a horsewhip, and, catching his
enemy unawares, held pistol to his head
and one to the negro's head and compelled
him TO horsewhip the man. His next ex-
plot was to 90 with his brother into the
town after a justice of the peace who had
offended him, and between the two of
them they slashed the justice TO pieces.
He was never punished, but he is an Ali
ance man now and Is a member of the
church.
The election Of Irby to the United States
senate has brought the blush of shame to
the cheek of every decent South Caro-
linian. From every section of the state
come expressions of indignation at the
outrage and regret at the defeat of Hamp-
ton. Should Hampton live till 1892 he
will be put up for governor by the Democ-

A FEMALE EXPLORER.
A Woman Resolves to Undertake an Expe-
dition to the Dark Continent.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 13-Visiting in this
city. at the home of Roland Conklin, is a
lady. who. while already known in the lit
erary world, is in n short time to undertake
an enterprise in literature and investiga-
ton, which will without question, place
her on an individual plane, and one never
yet occupied by woman. The lady is
Mrs. May French Sheldon, wife of Mr.. f.
Sheldon, who represents the -COnk-
lin Mortgage Trust company, in London.
The undertaking in which she is about TO
engage is a trip into the widest portions
of Africa-not as a member of an exploring
party, but as the head of it.
Mrs. Sheldon has lived most of her life
in London, although she is n native of
New York She has devoted much of her
time to literature, and has given great at
tention to African exploration. Her home
in London has been the rendezvous for
African students She has been for long
time an intimate friend of Henry NJ. Stan
ley. Mrs. Sheldon SAYS that her venture is
no missi nary work; it is not in the inter
est of any institution or government; it is
not 20 attack anything or anybody-she is
going simply because she wants to, and is
going to run the expedition TO suit herself.
She goes to Africa for the purpose Of
learning the ways and customs, legends
and folklore of the natives, and incorpOr-
ate them into a book. She is to sail from
England in February, and will go first to
thence to MOmbasso, and then
will begin the worst part of her journey.
In telling of her proposed travels, Mrs.
Sheldon said:
The expedition shall be entirely my
own; the honors. if there be any. shall not
be divided, and the criticisms-and Of
course there will be many-must be aimed
at me alone. l shall take my stenographer
only to the starting point in Africa, and
from there on I shall be the only white
woman in the party. | shall be attended
by several black women Of course. | will
also have several Arab attendants, and

party would have good chances for their
national ticket in 1892. In this connec-

tie Fish, the wife of J. p. Fish, miller at
Ottawa. Kan, who recently figured in a
scandal in which the Rev. E. c. Boaz. of
the First Methodist church, was involved,
appealed to the police this morning for
protection. She pointed TO an old man in
the Union depot, and told apollceman that
he had been following her for two days,
and that she wanted him arrested. The
policeman questioned the stranger about
his conduct. He said he had been en-
ployed by Mr. Fish. the husband of the
woman, to follow her. He was not arrest
ed, but was advised not to bother Mrs
Fish. Speaking to a reporter, Mrs. Fish
said:
Il believe Mr.. Boaz is godly man, and
