MRS. HARRIsoN's PARTY.
Charleston Shows the Ladies Every
Attention Possible.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 14.-Mrs.
Harrison and her party reached here shortly
after IL O'Clock this morning. They were
met at the station by the mayor of the city,
the collector of the port, the postmaster and
a committee of distinguished citizens, and
escorted to their hotel. The stars and
stripes and the state colors fiuttered to the
breeze all over the city. The visitors were
taken to Fort Sumter and We're shown
around the harbor. In the afternoon they
entered carriages and were driven
around the city, and tonight
Mrs. Harrison and her friends
held a reception, which was attended by the
elite of the city. Later in the night the
visitors were serenaded by the Vanderbilt
Benevolent Society, of which President
Harrison is an honorary member. 1t is ad-
mitted that the visit of Mrs. Harrison and
her party has been a most delightful social
event. Democrats ana republicans WED
with each other in paying their respects to
the first lady of the land. There are very few
white republicans here, but they were all
present, and for once there was no distinc-
ton in politics. or courss, the colored re-
publicans kept in the background. The
party at midnight returned to their car,
and will leave here for Florida in the morn
ing.
AN EDITORIAL UTTERANCE.
The Neios and Courier will say edi-
torially tomorrow:
The people of Charleston who had the pleas
ure of meeting the Presidents wife yesterday
were very much charmed by her gracious pres
ence and gentle dignity. The day was all that
could have been desired, and the dis
tinguished visitors saw Charleston under
the most favorable conditions. Regret is
very general that they could not
remain with us longer, and the hope is ear
nestly expressed that they will all come back
again. The reception extended to the visitors
was as simple as it was perfect in al its arrange
ments. There was no elaborate banquet nor
any speech-making, nor yet a display of fire.
WORKS. OF these things our guests have long
since grown weary, but there was genial glow
OF sincere hospitality, and that unaffected
simplicity which is ever the most
come. Thank heaven, there was no politics
''on this auspicious occasion" :" and for one day
there was a truce TO the bitterness of party
strife and to the uuchristian manifestation of
sectional feeling. The old flag fioated over us
all, the flag that was planted upon tha ramparts
of Chapultepec by South Carolina soldier, the
flag under whose folds Benjamin Harrison
fought during the war between the states, the
flag which now floats proudly over the capitol
at Washington. Mrs. Harrison's flag is our flag
and the flag of our common country. It was a
day of cordial, earnest greeting, and Charleston
was delighted to pay properrespect to the Presi-
Charleston strangers. They left Charleston
friends, and more than friends, for Charleston
reserves to itself under 'the general welfare
clause" of its social constitution the inaliena-
bic right to adopt into the family all such as are
well pleasing in its sight.

SHOT DEAD BY HIS SON.
THE MAN ABOUT TO SHOOT HIS
WIFE WHEN SLAIN.

He Had just Administered a Fearful
Beating to His Slayer-Two Bullets
Fired Into His Body Then His
Daughter Hit Him in the Head With
an Ax-No Arrests Made.
PALATKA, FLA, March 14-Lady Lake,
on the Florida Southern railroad, was the
scene to-day Of a most horrible murder. J.
H. Burchfield is the name of the murdered
man. He was known all over the country
as a desperate and dangerous character.
He was the man who several years ago
attempted to kill Maj w. G. Cooper of
Palatka, and came very near being success
full The Palatka Herald learns tnat
Burchheld had always been cross with and
several times attempted to kill members Of
his own family.
CAUSE OF THE KILLING.
Wednesday he tried to get his
son to 60 with him to Oxford, a
town a few miles Off. but the hoy
did not want to 60, and his mother put in
plea in his favor. This angered the father.
In the meantime the boy got on a horse
and went down into the field Soon after
he was followed by Burchfeld, who, going
up to his son, knocked him from the horses
Dack and then laid the lash on until the boy
had reached the house. The mother came
out and asked that mercy be given her son.
ON THE POINT OF KILLING HIS WIFE
Buckfeld then picked up a gun, and.
leveling it at his wife, was about to pull the
trigger when the son whipped out from his
pocket pistol and shot the father dead,
putting two balls in his body. While the
man lay dying on the floor his little daugh-
ter picked up an axe and struck her father
in the head twice. This is one OF the most
tragic deaths heard of in Florida for long
time. The dead man was a bad character
and had threatened the lives of many peo-.
pie around Lady Lake, and was often seen
carrying gun with which to kill some one.
As husband and father he was brutal In
the extreme and every member of the fam
lily lived in dread of their lives, as he had
threatened and fearfully beaten them all.
No arrests have been made.

ley once more posed before the House COM
mittee on elections to-day as the lover of
pure and undefled politics, and especially of
honest and independent elections; but it was
in his professional capacity as counsel for
Miller, the colored contestant of Elliott of
South Carolina, and not in his official capac-
ity as Indiana member of the republican
national committee. 1t was in this latter
capacity that Col. Dudley wrote the In
diana county chairman in the last campaign
to take care of the foaters in "blocks
of five," but the committee on elec-

sentiments SO often now that it has ceased to
smile at it. Either because of his promin-

Dudley has been retained as counsel by a

by the Impending War.
CHICAGO, March 14.-Rumors were ripe
to-day of an impending strike on the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois railroad, which, it
was said, would involve all kinds of labor
on the road, except the locomotive engi-
neers. The trouble, it was said, was the
result of the dismissal of William Meyers,
a locomotive fireman at Danville, H.
Meyers was the chairman of the grievance
committee Of the fremen's brotherhood and
was an active, aggressive member of the
organization. About mouth ago he was
dismissed from the service of the company,
as the men allege, without reason, and his
request for an explanation was refused.
The local committee was not given any
more satisfaction than Meyers himself was
accorded, and the matter was referred to
the general executive committee. There
are as many denials as affirmations that a
strike impends, and no end of rumors but
no statement of fact from any authentic

The demand was made to-day upon John

tions, which were received to the effect that
the timber must be held until further orders.
1t is learned in this connection that the
owners have been advised by their attor-
neys to disregard the Iharshal's orders and
take possession of the timber. This advice
was given in accordance with the recent
order issued by Judge Pardee in New Or

watched with much interest The recent
rains have caused the river to rise suffi-
ciently for the floating of timber, and large
quantities are being received at Ferry Pass
