CHASING THE SPECTATORS

About 60 Warrants Issued for Some of
Those Who Saw a Mckee's Rocks Fight.
The move against the participants in and
spectators of the prize fight in Graham s
barn, short distance above McKee's Rocks,
on Charities creek, promises to break up an
extensive industry and source of pleasure
to many people of McKee's Rocks and
Mansfield. Sixty warrants have been
sworn out before Alderman Madden
for the arrest of people present, and
some Of them are persons who had rather
forfeit considerable sum than have their
names go in this connection before a cold
and unsympathiZing public.
1t is said that Mr. Wagner, the tenant
occupying the premises, AYERS that the
mill came off without his consent or even
knowledge, but all the same, resident of
Mckee's Rocks says that not a month
passes without a mill somewhere in the
vicinity.

DOING QUIET WORK.
Factory Inspector Watchorn's Mysterious
Movements,

Factory Inspector Watchorn's Mysterious
Movements.
"Quiet work is the best work, said Fac
tory Inspector Watchorn yesterday. He
has been in the city nearly all the time for
two weeks but refuses to state his business
He admitted that 1t was official, however,
and then tackled on the statement that he is
not taking brass band with him when he
visits factories.
"I do not enter suit against any person, Z"
he continued, 'funtil all other means have
been exhausted to get obedience for the
law. j have sent circular to the manufac-
turers in the State calling attention to the
laws am expected to enforce, and asking
them to cooperate with me in doing so.
The greatest trouble L have met
is in enforcing the semi-monthly
paw. 1 have induced number of firms to
obey the law in this respect, and 1 think
the few who still hold out for monthly pay
will soor fall into line. If they will not do
so peacefully, 1 will be obliged to bring
suit, but as 1 said before, all pacific means
will be exhausted before such step is
taken"

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
MRS. S. A. NETTLES.

CUErA1Ns.-Cretonne, chintz and
muslin make the most appropriate
curtains FOR bedrooms 1t is now a
popular fancy to finish curtains OF
this kind with frill of the material.
Fawn colored crctonne figured with
gold chrysanthemums and lined with
pale-yellow or buff silesia is exceed
ingly dainty for draping bedroom
windows, the soft nredominating
shades having most soothing effect.
Red brown and pale-blue also form a
pleasing combination. \ pretty dec
Grafton will consist OF fiat box
plating three inches wide applied to
the curtain with a row Of stitching
made half an inch from eacli hem Of
the plating; and bands formed of
similar plating stitched to equal
widths of the sllesia may be used to
draw the curtains aside.
A bow-window should be draped
with two curtains, one over the window
at each end; and in addition an over
curtain, which is in reality only a
deep rut1ie, should extend all round
the top of the 'bow,'' being arranged
to fall gracefully over the other two
curtains, and forming the only dra-
perry of the middle window. The
over curtain should be at least twenty
one inches deep and should be deco
rated on the bottom and ends with a
box-plaiting.
Perhaps The most difficult windows
to drape when the housewife has to
depend mainly upon her OWL re-
sources in the matter Of mechanical
contrivances, are those having inside
blinds. Slightly convex poles are
now obtainable upon which to sus-
pend curtains for windows Of this
kind, so that the blinds do not tear or
disturb the draperies; but when these
cannot be procured, rectangular
wooden frame built oct from the win
dow six or eight inches and support
ed by brackets at the sides may be
used; or shelf placed at the top of
the window and similarly supported
with brackets will answer just as
we'll. The curtains are fastened with
small tacks to the shelf OF frame be-
fore the latter is placed in position,
and box plating is added to conceal
the tacks and the woodwork.
Paint and, indeed, almost any kind
of grease may be removed from cloth
ing with mixture Of equal parts of
turpentine and ammonia. Apply the
liquid plentiGully to the spots until
the paint OF grease is well softcned;
then cleanse with strong soarsuds,
aud brush thoroughly with a stiff
whisk- broom. The mixture should be
kept tightly corked when not in use.
EXCELLENT RoLLs.--Scald Ole pint
of new milk and add to it one table
spoon sugar, one-half cup of yeast,
and enough flour to make quite stiff
batter. Let it rise over night, and in
the morning add half cup Of butter,
one teaspoon salt, and the well-beaten
whites Of two eggs. Mix this stiff,
knead it well and let it rise, then
knead it again and roll it out until
three-fourths of an inch in thickness.
Cut it with a biscuit cutter, spread
butter on one half and roll the other
half over it. Let it rise until very
light, then bake it. Try this once and
YOU will trv 1t AGAIN.

Sufferer Insists on the Last Word.

EDITOR TIE MANNING TIMES:-In the
communication wrote calling attention to-
Mt. Hope Swamp had no thought Of any
controversy, and only did what l or any
other citizen had right to do. Mr. Way
took it up, and tried to screen himself and
lay the blame on another. The commits
sioners may divide their work, but if any
part is neglected they are all equally re-
sponsible Mr. Way in his second article
abandoned all argument as to the matter III
q lestion and entered new line (black-
guardism) in which he appears to be more
efficient: I;Sll pass over his slang to the
last Paragraph.
He says: while at Foreston some talked
to me and put me on my guard for fear Of
this swamp critic" Here I will say was
not aware that an honest man ever feared
criticism. He further says: Il learned
more of Sufferers general character than l
had ever known before, as Sufferer ond
had been very slightly acquainted, but I
found him most universally disliked. Par
ties told me he was meddlesome old fel-
low" l have no doubt he heard all that,
but here challenge him to give their names
so the good people of Clarendon could know
his informers He heard it all, but it is
SANDER on the best people here unless he
gives their names He won't do it.
As stated above know I have enemies
here, and man who has no enemies IS CT
no use to himself, his family, or country,
for any man trying to make an honest liv.
ing will have enemies. AS stated, have
them here, though have never wrcnsed
them of cent or told falsehood on them.
One of them has gone so far as to say on
different occasions that ought to have
stick broken over my head. A friend asked
him why he didn't do it. He said my age
prevented him. will here remove that bar
rier, and ask him not to consider that any
further; and if he does it the law shall not
be enforced for the act. SUFFERER.

FATE OF A FLORENCE LAWYER.
8eItOn O'Neall Townsend Burnt TO Death
in His House During the Absence OF His
Family.

FaMlly.
FLORENCE, February 27.-Belton ONeall
Townsend, prominent young lawyer OF
this CITY, well known and connected IN
Charleston. is believed to have been burned
up in his residence tonight Fire was dls-
covered in the house about 10 O'Clock. The
house is on the edge of town and the fire
was considerably advanced when discover
ed. It was impossible to search the house
thoroughly, but every door was found un-
locked, except that Of the room known to be
occupied by Townsend, where the fire orig
mated.
Townsend was seen by neighbors on the
piazza at 6 o'clock in an intoxicated cond!-
ton. His wife and children left him sev-
eral days ago and he was alone. He was
thirty years of age, and considered very
bright. He came here several years ago
from Darlington and had 4 good cllentaSe.
FLORENCE Feb. 2S.-The body Of Bolton
O'Neall Townsend was discovered in the
ruins of his residence about midnight. The
engines played on that part known to be his
bed room continuously until the hremen
could go into the runs and search for the
remains. He was discovered almost burned
to q crisp. One arm was raised above his
head aad one knee was bent upwards. The
left hand and feet were completely burned
off and the skull broken. The sight was
dreadful.
Coroner Burch was summoned and took
charge of the body. The jury Of inquest
was impannelled to-day. The examination
of witnesses showed that at half-past six
o'clock Townsend was in his room on the
bed reading, with pistol under his head.
The boy who waited on him left him there.
Neighbors noticed that the light went out IN
his room shortly after. Later on explosion
like pistol shot was hecrd, and in few
minutes the flames burst out. Mr.. Theme
ran to the house when he heard the explo-
sion and entered, but he could not get to
Townsend's s room for the fire.
Townsend had told friends that he had
carefully considered suicide. His life was
very unhappy He bought pistol several
days ago, and later denied having a pistol
at all. He told the dealer not to mention
his having bought it. The conclusion Of
the community is that he set fire to the
room, probably having first saturated every
thing with oil, because of the rapid spread
of the fire, particularly in his room, and
then shot himself The pistol was found
IN the ruins this morning.
The jury agreed this evening upon the
verdict that the deceased came to his death
from burning up n his house. He will be
buried here tomorrow with masonic and
military honors.

Beware Of OintmentS for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole

table physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls catarrh cure, man

contains no mercury, and is taken inter-

What is lacking is trnth and confidence.
Ifthere were absolute truth on the one hand
and absolute confidence on the other, 1t
wouldn't be necessary for the makers Of DR..
Sages catarrh remedy to back mp plain
statement Of fact by a $500 guarantee. They
say-"If we can't cure you (nake it person
al. please OF catarrh IN the head, IN any
form OF stage, we'll pay You $500 for your
trouble in making the trial. IAN advertis-
ing fake" you say. Funny, isn't il, how
some people prefer sickness to health when
the remedy is positive and the guarantee
absolute. Wise men don't put mon%y back OF
fakes" And taking" doesn't pay.
