NEW RIVER AND NEW LAKE.
The Arizona Wonder Continues to Cause
Intense Excitement.

YUMA, Ariz., July THE water IS
still rising two inches day. The lake
is fifteen by fifty miles. Three times
as much water is coming into the lake
as three days ago. .
The water in the current is fresh, at
1O5 degrees heat, caused by the sun, not
sands and width of exposure. Excite
ment is intense.
An Indian Just in from the South
and West says an immense spring has
broken out, and that a big river runs
from it into the lake. Tracing the
Indians story, the outbreak of water
is thirty miles west of North Indian
wells, in the ancient bed of Carson
creek on the north side of the run that
separates the two great basins. This is
theory from the start, that water sank
into sand holes, ran under the river
and came to the surface down near ID,
desert.
Near Threnberg, report says an i'm
mense whirlpool exists IN the rVer;
that the water is sinking fast; that the
river is falling at that point. Just be-
low there the water is twenty feet,
having fallen six inches in three days
The railroad company is exhausting
every source to get at the facts. its
engineers say they cannot protect the
tract across the desert for two months
from the present rate OF rise. COM
petent engineers compute to to-day
that it will take two years to I'LL the
great basin.

THACKsToS,s STATEMENT.

The Herald and News publishes this
week Mr.. Thackston's second chapter
Of explanation. He says now he was
mistaken as Mr.. Mayfeld says he was.
When it is remembered that he is Sec
retary of the State Board of Examiners
in whose hands the official proceedings
of the board ought to be, it looks little
strange that he should be so badly mis-
taken in the actions of the board es-
pecially in a matter so nearly concern
ing him. Then too, how is it he should
write that first defence Of his and yet
not know that the board never passed
the resolution subsidizing his publica-
ton. But then we do not care to be
hard in ourjudgment of Mr.. Thackston
and will have to take it for granted,
we presume, that he was only "mls-
taken" But how much better 1t
would have been if he had gotten the
facts before writing his first explana-
ton and just admitted then that he
was mistaken.

SENATOR IRBY GIVEN TIE LIE.
Ex-Supervisor McEl-oy Draws His Pistol
on Hiui-An Encounter Prevented.
[Special 10 the State. |

LAURENs, S. c., July,,3.-In the ALI
ance convention to-day in the court
house, the work and words We're red
hot. McElroy, the lately beheaded
supervisor Of registration, intimated
that Senator Irby and Congressman
Shell inspired the Evans-Haskell letter
and failed to back him later. They
denied the soft impeachment. McElroy
gave the lie to the senator. Both ad
vanced, NcElroy with drawn pistol,
announcing that ne was ready for the
fray. Men of peace prevented an en-
counter. There was much excitement.
In reference TO his charge against
Senator Irby, McElroy's statement is
about as follows: That Senator Irby
rallied him and said that the invitation
to Haskell was an insult to hinlselfand
the Tillman party: and requested him
(McElroy) to write the original anti
Haskell article, which appeared in the
Herald; that Col. Irby told him that
he had much of the brains of the party
and welded facile pen; that he then
wrote the article. On the evening Of
the Evans explanation, after Evans
had demanded it, McElroy went to
law office where Irby was. 1t is said
that he asked the senator for pistol or
the loan Of money to buy Que with
which to defend himself, and that the
senator declined to oblige him. Nc
Elroy then went to Roland's store
alone, and the dramatic incidents oc-
Cured which have already been pub
lished.
The part of this dispatch relating to
the visit to the law office The State
correspondent did not get from Nc
Elroy, but the facts are given us they
are current here. There seems to be no
doubt that Col. Irby was in the law
office on the evening mentioned, and
that Immediately after Mr.. Evans
demand for retraction Mr.. McElroy
paid the alleged visit.
The issue seems to be simply one Of
veracity between the senator and the
ex-superVisor.
| have not been able to learn the
groundes of the charge against Shell.

AN EDITOR MURDERED BY TOUGHs.
Stabbed to Death at Sumter Plc NC
While Trying to Stop Row.

CAMDEN, July 5.-Some particulars
of the death of Editor J. D. Shaw, Of
the Bishopville Eagle, at a picnic at
Kings mill, in this county, have oeen
obtained, although neither the coroner
nor sheriff, who went to the scene
Immediately on receipt of the first news,
have returned.
About D. N. the ladies and gentle
men were dancing under gin house,
when Del and DOras Kelly came up,
cursing and apparently drunk. They
were so offensive that several persons,
among them J. D. Shaw, Robert A.
Baskins and J. w. Gardner, tried to
get them to leave and walked off with
them. When they were about fifty
wards from the gin Doras Kelly and
J. D. Shaw clinched. The crowd soon
gathered thick around the com6atants.
When they were separated ShaW
walked off, saying hew cut: ana o1ed
in a few moments. DE Lad oeen
stabbed in the eftside of his back with
a rocket knife. Baskins was bleeding,
and was, found to be cut in nearly the
same place by Del Kelly, and the
wound is feared to be fatal, J. w. Gard
ner received severe bruises Oh the arm.
Del Kelly was captured and securely
tied to a tree, and was threatened with
iynching at the time my informant
left.
Dozier Kelly ran fast, got agun out OF
a neigh hboring house, and haa not oeen
caught when my informant left, VINO
thinks that the crowd was terribly IN
earnest, but it is thought that some
cool men would prevent the !ynchlng
until the arrival Of Sheriff Halle.
Del Kelly had little or nothing to say
except to request to be turned loose.
He was tied hard and fast to tree.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Kellys were drunk and trying to oreak
up the pleasures of the day, and Shaw
and others were trying to get them TO
leave peaceably.
The governor has offered reward OF
$3.50 for the missing murderer. There
a.e yet fears oflynching.
DEATH OF ROBERT BAsK1Ss.
BIsuoPvILLE, July 6.-Robert Bas-
kins. who was stabbed in the melee IN
which Editor Shaw was killed, died
this morning. D. O. Kelly, brother
of Doras Kelly, has been arrested ana
lodged in Camden Jail as an accessory.
Doras Kelly is still at large.

THE JURY QUESTION.
Judge Hudson Does Not Agree with Judge
Frazer.

YoRKvILLE, S. c., July 2:-Court of
general sessions convened here Mon
day, Judge Hudson presiding. The
case which excited most interest at this
term of the court was the case of the
State against DR.. John May, ;lr., TOR
selling liquor without license. Verdict,
not guilty. DR.: May was represented
bv Mai. j. F. Hart, Thos. +. Mellow
and J. S. Brice.
When the case was called, the de-
fen6ant's attorneys moved for a con-
tlnuance on the ground Of the absence
of material witnesses for the defence.
This motion was refused, and the case
ordered for trial.
Counsel for defendant then moved to
ouash the venire for grand and petit
Jurors drawn for the present term OF
the court. ,,.
In presenting the motion, Maj, }. r.
Hart made a most clear and admirable
argument. At the conclusion OF the
arguments of Solicitor Mcdonald,
Judge Hudson Immediately rendered
decision refusing to quash the venlres
on the grounds that informa!ities are
not sufficient to vitiate legal proceed
ings.

vEsUy1Us GIVES TIMELY WARNING
a Great Eruption Believd to Re lmpend-
1ng-The Inhabitants Terror Stricken.

LONDON, July IA dispatch from
Rome says that the villagers in the VI
cinity of Mount Vesuvius are abandon
ing their homes and their vineyards,
fearing that one of the greatest erup-
tions in the history of the mountain is
impending. The earthquake shocks
that have always preceded destructive
out-bursts of the volcano in the past
have been felt in several parts of Italy,
and of late in close proximity to the
mountain. The authorities of Naples
are keeping a close watch for signs OF
increasing danger, and visitors have
beer warned not to approach too near
to the crater, and to avoid the path OF
the lava.
Since the death Of a Brazilian jour
nalist few days ago by falling into the
crater, several travellers have shown a
morbid desire to gaze into the pit Of
moulten lava in which the unfortunate
man disappeared. In such cases, should
another fatal accident occur, the guide,
the perfect OF police has stated, will be
prosecuted.
1t is the opinion of Italian scientists
that the earthquakes now affecting the
peninsula will increasein violence until
Nesuvius breaks out in a serious erup-
ton, and that then the earthquake
visitations will for the present sub
side.
