Look up Your tax Receipts:

COLUMBIA. S. c., July S.-Accord-
ing to the reports made to the Secretary
of State the agents Of the sinking fund
and land agents are doing splendid work
in their respective fields. DR.. A. E.
Williams. the agent for Beaufort, Cole
ton and Hampton, was in the city to-day
to make monthly report. His terri
tory is very large and the greater part
ofhis time is spent in making the rounds.
Secretary Tindal made the interesting
and surprising statement to-day that DIR.
Williams had discovered and is now rec
tifying fully three hundred errors in tax
receipts, tax executions, ETC., and in re-
claiming lands to the State. In case
called to attention to-day executions
were levied and collected agalnsta tract
of land in Colleton in which the owners
held receipts hut were not entered on
the treasurer's books. This is shown to
be not the fault Of sheriff or treasurer,
but Of the carelessness of the deputies
who were charged with the collection OF
taxes.
This is only one ola great many OF
the same kind. 1t Is evident that the
State must be out the amount Of such
unretlrned collections. Secretary Tin
dal says that it is paying the State well
to employ these agents, and that the
way they are working is very sat!stac-
tory to the property owners. Williams
left here to-day for Walterbcro and Will
continue his work the following week in
Beaufort.-News and Courier.

ATerrIble Tale of the Sea.

LONDON, July IA dispatch from
Auckland, New Zealand, reports that
the bark Compadre, bound from Calcutta
for Chile, recently caught fire at sea.
After an Intellectual effort to subdue the
flames the captain steered his course tor
Bluff Harbor, a seaport of the province
of Otaga, New Zealand. He had sue
ceeded IN bringing his burning vessel 10
the mouth of the harbor when tremen-
dous hurricane overlook her. The ex-
hausted crew spent their last energies
in attempting to keep down the raging
fire and at the same time force the un-
fortunate bark to face the tremendous
winds and seas which beat upon and
rushed over her. It was, however, all
to no avail. After desperate struggle
with the opposing elements, the Com
padre became waterlogged and was
driven with fearful force upon the rocks
OF the desolate and uninhabited Auck-
land Islands. After incredible suffering:
the crew OF the bark succeeded 10 swim
ming ashore. Here, in one Of the latter
wears of the nineteenth century, the
miserable men were forced to spend l03
days and nights, suffering the EXTREMIST
wretchedness ofexposure and starvation.
On the one hundred and fourth day o!
their being cast away their distress sig
nails were observed by passing sealing
vessel, and the sorely tried sailors were
taken off in safety, but in distressing
condition Of weakness and emaciation.
During their enforced stay on the island
one Of their number wandered into the
bush and was never heard of again. 1t
is supposed that suffering drove the man
mad

Cantwell is still Supervisor.

CHARLESTON, S, C., July 2.-Judge
Wallace rendered his decision in the
Cantwell case this afternoon, speaking
briefly but emphatically on the points
of law. He reviewed the case as made
out against Cantwell, and also tine au-
thority of the governor to remove. 1t
was in the power of the governor to ap-
point, with the approval and consent of
the Senate, and it was also in his power
to remove, with exactly the same con-
ditions. They must be contemporane
Gus. There was special act by which
trial justices, auditors and treasurers
could be suspended, pending meeting
of the Senate, but no general law. On
the letter of the governor about the two
offices, the Judge said that the law had
been decided unconstitutional in the
Supreme Court relating TO appolntive
offices; that the discharge of the duties
of clerk of the county commissioners
did not at all conflict with those of SUI
pervisor; that they were not incompatl-
BILE; and that he must grant the prayer
OF Mr.. Bryan in favor of Mr.. Cantwell.

ROME, July 2.-Vesuvius has renewed
its volcanic activity. and the torrent OF
lava rushing down the mountain side Is

day two Brazilian tourists assembled the

NIT and were standing on the verge Of
the crater when they were suddenly en-

rushed out upon them from the volcanic
depths. When the outburSt had sub

tlemen had become asphyXiated and had
fallen into the mouth Of the crater.
His companion was only saved by the
presence of mind of the guide who had
accompanied them. AS the sulphurous
smoke puffed out from the crater's
mouth he rushed forward and dragged
one of his patrons out of danger, but
was unable to save the other. The vic
tim of the accident was DR.. Silva Jar

ANOTHER RAILROAD DISASTER.
Fifteen Persons Killed and Fifty-EiGht
Iniprad


CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 1.-The
greatest disaster in the history OF this
community was the wrecklng OF Kan
awha and Michigan train at Farm, a
village eight miles north of this city,
this morning. There is a trestle there
thirty-fve feet high, which caught fire
at some time during the night from an
unaccountable cause, probably from a
cinder from an engine passing about
midnight. While the bridge was not
consumed, its foundations were so bad
ly damaged as to render 1t unsafe to
cross. No notification of the fact was
received here, however, and the train,
the first of the day, attempted to cross
it as usual. The engine, tenter and
baggage car passed over safely. but the
two coaches went through. Engineer
Pat Connor seemed to realize the sltua-
ton and pulled open the throttle, in the
hope of pulling all over safely, but 1T
wis too late Both coaches were
crowded, and scarcely any one in them
escaped injury. The station is three
miles from the nearest telegraph office,
but as soon as possible a relief tram
was sent from this city, which returned
about 2.15 p. m, bearing the dead and
wounded.
One of the most pathetic incidents of
the accident was that of the annlhlla.
ton of the Welcher family. Mr.. Welch-
er, his wife and little child were on
their way to Point Pleasant to visit
friends. being their first trip outside OF
the city for years Mr.. Welcher was
instantly killed, and his wife was
brought here few hours later so badly
Infused that she died shortly after her
arrival. Their little child. aged two
wears, was somewhat bruised and bleed
ing, three fingers of its right hand
being cut off.

and poetry, died yesterday in a squalid
hut on Colfax street. lie was worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars, ac-
quired by a lifetime of miserly. But
one child, William kottinger, was pres
ent at the death. When the old man.
in his death throes raised himself in
bed, the son rushed to his side. His
father, mistaking the act, with a frenzi-
ed yell waved him back, and clutching
at the bed clothes pulled them back, dis
closing to view quantity of gold coin.
He mad a grab at it with both hands,
and, with the bright pieces in his I'm
gers, fell back with gasp and expired.

HORRORS OF THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Terrible Work of the Deadly Current on
the Victims.

New YORK, July S.-The Evening
World, in its sporting edition, says: The
body of Murderer Harris A. Smiler was
brought TO this city this afternoon. The
body had been claimed by Smiler's
widow, the woman be married and de-
serted for the woman whom he after
wards murdered. The body was taken
from the train to the undertaking estab-
lishmen5 at 265 West One Hundred and
Twenty-ifth street. Three or four hun
dred people were gathered there to wit
ness the arrival Of the body. By pre-.
vious arrangement with the undertaken,
an Evening World reporter was in wait
inc at the rooms to see the body OF the
executed murderer. The coffin was
taken to the basement by the undertak-
er's assistants, and the lid was quickly
taken off, exposing the dead mans face.
The reporter stood close by, and was
horrifed at the sight that met his eyes.
Smiler's face had been burned and
scanned by the electric fluid until it pre-
sented the appearance Of having been
broiled. The hair on the front of the
head, the moustache and eyebrows had
been s!nged and burned Oft. The face
was furrowed and SCARED as though
with hot IRON. These marks were not
those OF a disaecting knife or scalpel.
They were palpable burLs. Pressing
closer to see the dead mans face PLAIN
er, the reporter attracted the attention
of the undertaker's assistants. and they
seized him by the shoulder and COM
PEELED him to leave the place before any
other portion OF the body was exposed.
In reply to repeated requests to be al
lowed to see the body, the repe rter was
informed that no one but the undertaken
and his ASSISTANTS would be permitted 10
see it until it had been fully prepared
for burial. 1t vas learned through one
of the undertaker's assistants that
Smiler's left lee was burned to the bone
and the eyes were badly burned.
