Governor Eosg Very Mad.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, April 17.-Bad blood
has generated between Governor Hogg
and Several members of the Legislature.
Itis all because the Governor went home
to Tyler to vote last Monday, instead of
voting at the Capital.
Yesterday afternoon aresolution was
passed, with a preamble setting forth
that the Constitution requires the Gov
ernor to reside at the Capital during the
session of the Legislature; that this
made the Governor a legal resident of
Austin at the late election; that, instead
of voting here, he voted at Tyler, and
he was therefore subject to prosecution
for illegal voting. The resolution itself
is as follows:
"That his Excellency, Governor Jas.
Stephen Hogg, be and is hereby author
lied to reside at the city of Tyler during
the term of his Office, and his said resi-
dence there shall begin and date from
the 9Th day of January, 1891, and that
his residence at said place be, and the
same is hereby validated from the said
9Th day OF January, 1891, and that this
resolution take immediate effect"
This was meant to be insulting. and
is so considered by the Governor. He
has notified Senator Johnson, who wrote
the resolution, and Senator Harrison,
who introduced it, that be 'holds them
personally responsible" The lnterven-
ton of friends only prevented a person
al encounter last night, and it is gener-
ally believed that there will yet be seri-
Gus trouble.

A Bustle for a Bank.

GREENsBURG, Pa, April 23.-Miss.
Maggie Schutt, of Derry, this county,
died last week. Miss. Schutt's relatives
had been puzzled to know what she did
with her money. She lived like a per
verse old maid, and INDUCED in no lux
uries or frivolitleS. Three days after
her funeral two of the young women of
the house concluded to clean up the
room occupied by Miss. Schutt.
Mrs. Jennie Bennett unearthed a
large, well-made, heavy hustle of tick
ing. With the remark. "Well, here it
goes, Kate" Jennie thew it into the
flames. Taking a second thought she
pulled it out again. ut seems awful
heavy for hustle" said she; lets rip
it open." When turning it over to In
sert the scissors piece of green paper
was seen sticking out OF d hole IN the
seam. The green paper was bright
$50 bill. Scissors were thrown aside
and deft fingers took their place. The
whole thing was ripped open: There
was feminine scream. There lay tens,
twentles, fifties, and nesting IN the bed
of greenbacks were shining gold eagles
and double eagles, and some silver
coin. The find netted $4,000.
The money will be divided between
her two sisters, with a neat reward to
the girls who discovered 1t. The OLD
hustle will be covered with tinted SATIN,
decked with ribbons and handed down

The Cleveland Interview,

ST. LOUIS, April 23.-State Treasurer
Lou. Stevens returned from New York
last night. When asked this morning
about the published interview between
himself and ex-President Cleveland in
reference to the position of Cleveland
on the silver question and the next
Presidential campaign, Stevens said:
II regret very much indeed that so
much has been said about the matter,
and that l have been placed in so un-
pleasant a position in regard to it.
had not the slightest idea that Cleve-
land would have any objection whatever
to use being made Of what he said IN
the State from which l came or else
where"
Stevens was asked if the reports that
have appeared we're accurate. He re-
piled: "Not by any means did not
write a line of the interview that ap-
peared in the New York papers, nor did
I see it after it was written until 1t ap'
peared in print. If it had been submit.
ted to me would have struck out fully
one.half of it. It contained much that
Cleveland said, but also what he did not
say, and if I had known just what its
tenor was to be l would have removed
many of the embellishments. Cleveland
did not announce himselfas candidate
at all, but spoke as a private citizen

case he was President and free coin.
age bill was presented to him, he laughed
and turned the question by saying that
it was a long time until 1894. I would
prefer not to particularize the mistakes
in the cccount of my interview with
him further than to state that if it had
been submitted to me | would have
struck out about one-half of it.

T M'Cants Stewart.

New YORK. April 23.-Mayor
Chapin, Of Brooklyn. appointed L. Nc
CAMS Stewart, the colored lawyer, a
member Of the Board of Education. in
place of DR.. Philip S. White, deceased,
who was also leading colored citizen.
Mr.. Stewart was born in South Caro- ina
about thirty-siX years ago, and was ed
ucated at the Howard University at Ed
inburg, Scotland. On his return from
Europe he became professor in col
lege in South Carolina. and subsequently

Formerly he was an ardent Republl-
can. but he became a Democrat a few
wears ago, and during the last mayoralty
canpaingn in Brooklyn he worked hard
for the election of Mr.. Chapln. He is
in great demand as a stump orator. 1t

Much Ado About Nothing.

LAURENs, April Ex-senator Irby's
irritation at the invitation extended by
Prof Evans TO Col Haskell to make
literary address before his school in June
has not been previously mentioned in
this correspondence because it was
thought that subject might injure
Laurens's chances for getting the girls
industrial school.
In conversation this morning Col
Irby stated to me that his sympathles
had been enlisted with the town to geS
the industrial school and that he had in
tended to work for it; that the town had
asked him to use his influence and that
he was doing so. but, feeling that the
town endorsed the action Of Nr. Evans,
he had given notice that he had with
drawn his influence and would have
nothing more to do with it. He further
said that he does not intend to fight the
efforts to get the school, and that all
differences between the town and him.
self III regard to the matter had been
healed, declining, however, to state the
grounds of the treaty.
1t is presumed, therefore, that Senator
Irby will work with the citizens generally
to get the school located here.
While politics will of course be en-
:irely ignored, Col. Haskell has hosts Of
friends who will give him an enthusiastic
welcome when he comes to Laurens.-

Thare is No Shortage.

CAMDEN, S. c., April 16.-The buga-
boo OF shortage in the school com.
missioner'S Office has proved to be a
farce, as predicted in this pond
ence. The vouchers in the Office of the
clerk have all been compared with
warrants or school claims, paid by the
treasurer, and everything has been
found correct So it there is anything
wrong up to date it is the compllca-
tion which have been in existence for
several years, and which are said to be
nothing more than that the school
funds were not kept strictly separate
from other moneys. There is no "short-
age" anyhow. It is pretty hard for a
young officer, vino has always tried to
do his duty. as ex-Commissioner Clark
has, to be accused unjustly of having a
shortage in his Office. and the accusers
should be more particular next time.

Preparing for War.

ST. PETERSBURG, April l5.-In spite
OF the peaceful utterances of govern.
ment officials everybody knows that
Russia is making extensive preparations
for war, and that her rivals are, on their
side, making counter preparations for a
great struggle which must sooner or
later take place. Russia has been spend
ing enormous sums il construction of
strategic railways, anu in this and other
ways arrangements for the transporta-
ton of large bodies of Russian troops to
the Austro-Germ frontier is almost
completed. This movement of Russian
forces towards the frontier OF Germany
and Austria would, four years ago have
required six months time, while by the
use of the new strategic railroads a
months time is all that is necessary for
the vast concentration of troops, which
is looked forward to in possibly the near

Mecca Killed Nine Mon.

ROCKINGHAM, n. c., April 16.-This
morninga rather startling story comes
to light about John B. Mecca, the Ital-
ian storekeeper, who was murdered in
Charlotte Saturday night. The story
was told by DR.. J. D. Westervelt, Jr.,
of Gahney City.
Mecca lived there for several years,
and consequently DR.. Westervelt knew
him well some years ago. Mecca told
HMM fact, he made no secret of it
the reason be came to America was be-
cause his hands were stained with the
blood of nine of his countrymen, ard he
came to America to seek rest and quiet
ness.
Mecca said that twelve years ago he
was a merchant in Italy, and late one
night, when the streets were almost de-
serted, ten men came in his store to rob
him. He defended himself with his still
letto, and killed nine of them in the
room where they attacked him, the tenth
one fortunately escaping.
Mecca said that the sight of nine dead
bodies lying in blood upon one floor was
such horrible sight although he killed
them to save himself it was ever before
him. There was no case made against
him and public sentiment generally en-
dorsed and applauded him for ridding
the country of the murderous thugs, but
he closed out his business as early as pos
Sible and left the scene.

The Weather and the Crops.

The following weekly weather crop
bulletin of the South Carolina weather
service, in cooperation with the United
States signal service, was issued Satur-
day:
The following has been compiled from
the weather crop reports received 1t this
station: The weather for the past week
has been very favorable for farming
operations, and in nearly every section it
has been all that the farmers could wish.
The temperature and sunshine has
been above the aVerage-the nights have
been warm, and therefore beneficial and
conducive to the growth of all crops.
There has been but little rain and con-
fined to a few localities. No disasterous
results reported except in the Johnston
section of Edgedeld County, where a
heavy rain and hailstorm occurred,
doing considerable damage to the fruit
and vegetable crops.
Farm work has progressed rapidly
since last report, and the larger proper
ton of the corn crop has been planted,
and that portion up is growing and IN a
healthy condition.
A considerable area of the cotton crop
has been planted, and if the present con-
dition of the weather continues few
days longer nearly the entire crop will
have been planted.
The small grain crops never looked
more tlourishing at this season Of the
year, and the prospects now are that the
yield per acre will be unusually large.
All apparent danger from cold weather
having passed, the fruit crop, which was
somewhat injured by the recent cold
snap, will be an average one, as the fruit
in those sections producing the largest
and finest quality have not been materi,
ally injured. The truck farmers have
experience little or no damage from the
cold. Vegetables of all kinds are in a
satisfactory condition; the yield of Irish
potatoes will be decreased, caused from
imperfect stands.
The season has been so backward that
farming operations have been greatly re-
tarded, but the weather is now so pro-
pitious that farmers are working with a
will and hope to have their crops planted
| in due season

TITLE Rock, Ark April 2l.-News
has ust reached here from Baxter
county that family of tive campers,
named Baldin, from Tennessee, en- route
for Texas, died in awful convulslons.
The citizens suspect that a band of
Gypsies who had been poisoning catt!es
in adjoining counties, had poisoned the
spring near which the family had
camped, and lynching of the band has
been imminent and only postponed by
the counsel OF the cooler-hesded; who
insisted that they must wait until they
had proof positive This wise counsel
prevented a deplorable tragedy, as yes
terday morning the remains of large
centipede was found in the coffee pot
out cf which the campers had drank,
and this deadly poison undoubtedly
caused their death.

Beats His Wife to Death.

WHITE PLAINS, April lG.-Jesse
Lockwood is one of the Oldest residents
of Purdy's Station, and during his three
score years here he has been greatly re-
spected. He has been afflicted with the
grip Of late, which is said to have made
him temporarily insane. On Saturday
last he took a club and bsat his wife so
severely as to cause her death. Believ-
.ng that he was commanded to DO so by
the Lord. She is sixty-one years ofage.
lockwood is sometimes called rellgi-
Gus crank. He is said to have rung the
church bell of the Methodist Church a
few days ago, at the same time pro-
claiming that the Lord desired him to
make human sacrifice of life by killing
his wife.
