BONHAMS LITTLE BREAK.
CoLORED COMPANIES OF CHARLES
TON COMPLAINING.

Not Cent of Last Years Appropria-
ton Yet Received by Any of Them.
The Colored General Goes to Column
bia to Inquire Into the Matter.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 16.-Has there
been a discrimination against colored SOL
diersi Charleston is very much agitated
over the remarkable bombshell which to-
day came from Columbia about the &C
counts OF Adjutant and Inspector NJ L.
Bonham. Being an officer Of the recent ad-
minlstration, bright young man of
distinguished family, he has many firm
friends here who cannot understand the
situation, and why Gen. Bonham allowed
the checks to 20 to protest The money was
all supposed 20 be drawn against state funds
which had been appropriated for the sup
port OF the military.
A LOCAL BoMBSHELL.
To-day, however, a bomb has been ex-
ploded right here in Charleston over the
same matter. Gen. S. j. Lee of the colored
military of the city claims that not one cent
OF last years. appropriation has been re-
celved by the negro companies. What
seems TO be fnexplicable is that in the an
nual report recently submitted to the legis-
lature, in which is given the itemized dis
bursement of the Office, the amount of
81, IA is credited TO captains of the colored
troops. They claim that they have received
nothing whatever.
LEES VISIT TO COLUMBIA.
Gen. Lee says that he recently visited
Columbia to see about the money for the
colored troops, and that he received assurs
ances that the money would be sent. He
claims that subsequent letters have been
fruitless. The white military companies of
Charleston all acknowledge the receipt of
their money, aggregating So, 40. What is
the other side Of the case. regarding the
colored funds, can only be ascertained from
Columbia. But as things stand it is great
surprise. aad the Tilmanites are gloating
over the affair

A BLIND DRU MINER.
His Daughter Accom- panied Him @
Els Visits to Iradespeople.

His Daughter Accom- panied Him on
Els Visits to 1radespeople.
From The Kansas Ciiv Times.
"There is one of the best tobacco drum
mers in the country" reporter, as an
elderly man, with a long gray beard, in
company with young women, passed up
Wyandotte street.
The gentleman walked arm in arm with
his companion, and no one would have no.
ticed ything peculiar about him until he
came to a crossing, and then his companion
spoke to him, his step faltsred, his foot was
put out as if afraid to advance. His ewes
were turned straight ahead and never
sought the ground. They were sightless.
The man was James Harrison of Rich
mond, Va, and the woman was his daugh-
ter. Mr. Harrison travels for a plug to-
bacco factory, and is regarded as one Of the
best drummers on the road. For more than
twenty years he has made the rounds with
two daughters.
First one of them grew up from girl to
woman and was married. The second one
then took her place and has since been his
constant companion. She goes about with
him from store to store, helps him with his
samples at the train and the hotels, attends
to the tickets and baggage-in short, does
everything that tender, loving woman
could do for the blind. She is his ewes. The
two are known in every city in the country.

RABIES RORRORs.

About TO Become q Mother and
Writhing in the spasms of hydro
phobia.
From tie Cincinnati Enquirer.
CHICAGO. Jan. 1L--Mrs. John Wagner.
q comedy Polish woman, the wife Of tai
lor at No. 992 Racine avenue, is dying in
all the agonies Of hydrophobia and to add
to the horror Of the distressing situation she
would soon become a mother. Her hus-
baud is nearly crazed BY the calamity, and
policeman has been detailed to see that he
does no. harm himself. Another officer is
assisting the doctors in holding the dying
woman to her bed. In November Mrs.
w agner attempted to part two dogs which
were fighting. and was bitten on the nose
and upper lip, the flesh being badly LAGER
ated.
She went to the Pasteur Institute here,
but, it is said, tho physician there refused to
treat her for less than 500. A local doctor
attended her, and to all appearances she
recovered entirely. Last Thursday night
she was attacked with spasms, which have
continued uninterruptedly ever sincs, and
the end can not be very far away. The sit
ustion in the little cottage is distressing in
the extreme, but nothing can be done for
the woman now.
