Not Enough Engineer Officers,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The annual
report of Commodore Melville, Engineer
in-Chief of the Navy and Chief of
Steam Engineering, shows that during
the pastsis cal year work has been done
on the machinery of almost every vesse

corps. Commodore Melville says that
he is again compelled to report that the
number of engineer officers is nsufficient
for the proper performance of the duties
belonging to them and to emphasize the
fact that unless measures are at once
taken to remedy this condition and to
stop the steady decrease in numbers we
shall before long have a painful awaken
ing by a serious accident on some of our
vessels.

sengers aboard, which was wrecked 30
miles north of this city at 10 o'clock
Saturday night, was deliberately de-
rallied. One man, the fireman, named

crushed to death. Baggagemaster An
derson, Express-messenger Pierson an
three passengers were seriously injured
The wreck was skillfully planned by
train wreckers. One of the fish bars
joining the rails was ,loosened, the bolts
having been drawn. and the spikes thu
held the rail were also drawn. All evi
dence points to the fact that this was
the work of an experienced railroad
hand.

The Cherokee Strip Deal.

TAHLEoUAH, L. T., Nov. 30.-There is
a well founded rumor that the two com
missions appointed by the United States
and the Cherokee Nation have come to
an agreement and the trade for the
Cherokee Strip has been made subject
to the approval of the Cherokee Legis-
lature. The rumor says that the price
to be paid is So, 500, 900, or $1.4O per
acre. In addition to this the United
States commissioners agree to all the
points asked for by the Cherokees.

Grain Blocka lie Being Broken,

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov, 30.-The harbor

the fleet somewhat in spite of many OBJ

grain afoat here ready for the elevators
to begin work to- day. Ii they were all
free and the boats at liberty to go where
they pleased there would be short wor k

outlook is anything but encouraging.

Governor Hampton also Attempted to
Torture Il Confession.
: Ne,rS u,d C0lu';o'.

The torture to which David Jacobs and
Mary Johnson were subjected on the GAL
lows at Chesterfield last Friday was not the
first incident of the kind il the recent his
tory Of South Carolina, although it is SIN
cere,v to be hoped that it will be the last.
In 1878 jeff David, I colored nan who had
been convicted of the murder Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin. two old white people, who
had lived for many years in AbDeVliie
county, WAS taken to the s;.llows. lie was
accompanied by co!orcd minister who
sang and prayed with and for him. Davids
hands and feet were pinioned, the rope was
placed around his neck, the knot being
pulled around until it pressed against his
right ear, and the last farewells were spok-
en-. when just as the trembling wretch felt
that he was about to be swung off into eter-
nitv, the sheriff announced that the gov
elnor, in his mercy. had granted him lit
tie longer lease Of life. David made no
confession, and was finally discharged
free man, his case having gone the rounds
of the courts. The David case should not
be followed, however, as q precedent, and
it is to be hoped that the better sentiment
of the State will never again be shocked by
such an exhibition as that which took place
at Chesterfield court house last week.

An Act Unworthy 4 Governor.
1GqrlestOn World.

Governor Tllman's course in the Jacobs
johnson case at Chesterfield is disgrace to
civilization, an insult to the machinery Of
law in South Carolina, and the most horri-
BILE, eold-blooded specimen of the quintes-
sence of refined cruelty ever displayed by
any governor in this country.
His act was more horrible, it seems to us,
than the tortures Of the inquisitlon, for then
it was only the fear of great pain which was
relied upon to extort confession from the
hapless victim, but in this case, We behold
the disgracefQl spectacle Of the governor OF
one Of the thirteen original States attempt
Ing, in the latter part Of the Nineteenth cen
tury, to wiring confessions from two wretch
es, by leading them to the very doorway OF
eternity.
The governor has the right to reprieve a
prisoner, to commute his sentence, or to
pardon him outright, but he has DO moral
right to degrade the almost divine privilege
of sparirg life, by attempting sensational,
dime-novel climaxes, at the moment when
two weak and wretched mortals are stand
ing upon the scafold, with p0lseless hearts,
and bursting brains, awaiting the giving
away sensation that is to launch them into
the presence Of the Dread Judge of all man
kind.
To say that the proceeding was a most
unusual ard extraordinary one would be to
couch in commonplace terms, "a outrage,
Of the enormity of which the English Ian
guage is incapable of conveying any ade-
quate idea.
The example set, too, by this Napoleon of
pardons, Will encourage other criminals
sentenced to death, to go into eternity with
lies upon their lips, in the hope that par
don may reward their mendaclty
1t is the most unique and coldly d:aboli-
cal conception Of which we have ever heard
as having been born in the brain OF the
chief executive of State which has gener-
ally been considered to be civilized.

4 Suggestion From a Foreston Citizen.

Foreston, August II, 1891,
EDITOR MANNING TINES: s:-The crop
prospects remain as good as could
be asked for, both corn and cotton.
There was q gentleman here Saturday
who had Just returned from trip
West. liz was through Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and he
says he saw nothing to compare with the
cotton in this vicinity he remarked it
was worth ride of fifty miles to see it.
was amused at reading an account of
your Summcrton trip over the W. Il S. R.
e. I will venture TO make a suggestion.
AS the Atlantic Coast Line has built q most
elegant depot in ali its appointments and
as it was suggested some months ago, that
the old one hcle be sent to Chicago, rs 4
curiosity, at the Worlds $ Fair. I now think
that the most profitable investment that the
stockholders Of the ". & S. +. L. conld
make, would be to send their road there,
too, and to run a line around the grounds
of the exhibition, and manage it in the
same way as now l know of nothing that
would be there that would be Of more inter-
est to the people Of the world than the W.
l. s. railroad and the old Foreston depot

Deputy Sheriff Watson, of Sumter, SHOT
n Negro who Resisted Arrest.

SUMTER, August l7.-Yesterday negro
named Thomas Nickens, living on the plan
tation of the Rev. E. 7. Hodges, about eight
miles above this city, attacked his wife, in
hictinc severe wound over one eye and
another in the back of the neck, from which
it is said the woman will Gle.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Watson
went out to arrest Nickens. When he ap-
preached him he noticed that be had an axe
in his hand. When the deputy sheriff got
within speaking distance he told NlekenS
that he had q warrant for him. The negro
began to curse Mr.. Watson, defed him, and
said he would kill him before he would be
arrested, at the same time advancing on Mr
Watson. Mr.. Watson told the negro that II
he came toward him with the axe that he
would kill him. The negro, however, kept
advancing, and struck at the deputy, who
lodged the blow, and shot the negro III the
head, who fell as if dead. The deputy re-
mained there about ten minutes, and, stH
thinking the negro was dead came back to
Sumter and reported the matter to Sheriff
Carson.
4 jury of inquest was summoned ana
went out to hold an inquest but when they
got there they found that the negro was not
dead but had gotten up and gone nearly
back to his house, about three hundred
wards. Stimulants were administered and
the negro was revived and was able to talk.
He was then put on q mattress and brought
to Sumter When seen in jail this after
noon he was in a stupor and breathing
heavily, his hands and feet We're growing
cold, and the prospect is that he will die to-
night.
The negros brother-in law was with the
deputy when the killing took place, but he
ran when NickenS made for the deputy
with the axe Ever since Nickens chopped
his wife in the head yesterday he has said
he would kill anyone who attempted to ar
rest him. Deputy Sheriff Watson regrets
the affair very much, out be had to shoot
the negro in defence of his own life.

Plan of the Straight0ut Democrats.
1Ah.en Journal md Reuielc. |

We heard prominent Allianceman pre-
dict that at the next State Convention the
Alliance platform would be adopted, and
that upon that event, "a party calling them
selves Democrats, would bolt the conven-
ton and appeal to the negro" The signs
of the times point to some such calamity.
There has been too much boiling in South
Carolina, conventions already. Let all par
ties 60 slow, keep cool, and use their rea-
son, and all good Democrats, in and out OF
the Alliance, will keep together.

Bradstreet's for the week ending
the 9th inst: "The past week has
witnessed a slight but important
change in the tendencies of the Ne W
York loan market. While gold ship.
men.s to Europe have continued, the
steady receipts of currency from the
west, where New York exchange is
generally ut premium, the remark
ably favorable nature of the last bank
statement, and, above all, the limited
demands for accommodation, have
created easier conditions. This is
particularly noticeable IN connection
with time loans. Funds are offered
on mixed collateral at 44@54 per
cent. for GO. days to three aud four
months, and 5a@6 per cent. for six
to seven months. Commercial paper
is in such limited supply that the
nominal rates of 5t@6 per cent. for
best double names scarcely signify
anything. Call money has been
at 2@3 per cent. through
out the week"
