Here's 3 Sad Warning.

BRUNSWICK, GA, May 29.-Rumors
of the horrible end of young girl well
connected in Brunswick has been
brought to light by the recent conVen-
ton of the funeral directors. Reared
by indulgent parents; given the benefits
OF a good educational course, this girl
soon developed into womanhood, and
was early allowed the privilege of re-
ceiving callers. Prominent among her
visitors was a young man handsome in
features, but devoid Of all moral sense
of right or wrong. Influenced by his
persuasive tones, promises of marriage
and her intense and growing love for the
man. the girl soon lost her virtue. She
endeavored GSelesSly to compel this
man to make her his wife, and Satur-
day last, unable to longer hide Ler
shame, she fled from loving home and
sought the companionship Of fallen
creatures. In their house she died
Wednesday, it is rumored, from the et-
fects of q horrible debauchery Saturday
night, the details of which are too
sickeDlng for publication. Her body, it
is said, was procured as subject for
demonstrating the new process of
embalming before the undertakers' con-
vention Thursday morning and there
recognized by persons who had known
her in better days. The cause of her
death has created volumes of talk, and
rumors o. an investigation by the grand
jury are lying thick.-Augusta Chron-

Tissue Ballots in Rhode Island.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 2.-In an
election in Lincoln yesterday for town
officers and councilmen, the Republi-
cans charge the Democrats with cheat
ing with tissue ballots. The Republi-
cans were ahead on the count, but be-
fore the enumeration of ballots was COM
pleted pile OF them was discovered
that had not been counted.
The pile contained l08 straight Dem
ocratic ballots, printed on tissue paper.
They were rolled together in piles, con-
tanning about ten each, and looked as if
they had been deposited together. The
town clerk and the town solicitor INSIST
ed upon having the lO8 ballots counted.
The moderator compiled with the re-
quest which materially changed the COM
pleXion Of the election.
The moderator sealed the ballots up
and requested the town clerk to take
them. The town clerk refused to do
this, saying the Republicans had charged
the Democrats with cheating last year
while the ballots were in his custody.
The moderator took the ballots home
with him, and this afternoon each party
appeared before the council, when a
long and tedious wrangle ensued over
the recount. The town council counted
all the ballots, tissue ones and all, there
by counting in the entire Democratic
ticket. The Republicans will carry the
matter to Court.

They Burned Hin TO Death.

New ORLEANS, June 3.-Not until
TO-DAY did Governor Nichols receive the
facts as to the lynching of the negro
named Hampton, in Clalborn parish.
Last year Hampton was suspected by
his white neighbors OF completely in a
hog stealing case, and they went IN a
body one night to his house to chastlse
him. He warned them of, and when
they persisted in the attack he shot and
killed one of the members Of the party.
This dispersed the crowd for the
night. The next day Hampton was ar
rested for the killing. An attempt was
made to enter the jail and lynch him,
but the plans of the mob were thwarted
by the prompt action of the Sheriff.
Hampton got q change of venue and
stood trial for the killing and was ac-
Quilted. He was Immediately rearrest-
ed for hog stealing, and fearing that be
would be lynched If he remained IN jail
pending trial, he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to one year in the penisenti-
ary, and the lynchers again were pre-
vnented from doing violence to him.
They were determined to avenge the
killing of their friend, and waited an
til Hampton had served out his SEN
tence. They had him arrested on an
affidavit sworn out before justice of
the peace on the day of his discharge.
Upon his arrival in Claiborn he was met
by an armed mob, who took him from
the constable and burned him to death.
The next day nothing could be found
of Hampton except heap OF ashes and
a pair of handouts.

Drowned Herself in the Pee Dee.

GEORGETOWN, S. c., May 29,-Mrs.
Staples the wife of Capt. George W.
Staples, drowned herself at Smiths Mill,
in the Pee Dee. on last Saturday-at
least this is the only legitimate conclu-
sion to be drawn from her disappearance
and the circumstances attendingi it.
She left her house about 10 a. M. Sat
urday. The servant, who saw her leave.
says she was weeping, andremarked that
she was going for short walk" Be-
tween II and y a little negro saw her in
the graveyard, where she was still cry
ing. This was the last seen Of her.
About o'clock her husband became
alarmed and instituted a search, in
which he was generally assisted by a
number OF friends and acquaintances.
A note to him was found, bidding him
goodbye and asserting all intention to
commit suicide. On the river bank be-
low the mills her hat, shoes and hand
kerchief were found, henging on small
bush. Footprints were observed lead
ing down into the water and under the
water. These prints showed more plain
ly as the water receeded.
No other cause for the rash act can
be assigned than that of temporary ab-
Grafton of mind, growing out Of contin-
ued illness and brooding deSponden-
cy. She left no Children The State.

Almost q Riot.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June 3.-An ex-
traordinary scene of wild confusion
and excitement was witnessed in the
lower house of the General Assembly
this afternoon when the Worlds Fair
bill, which as passed by the Senate ap-
propriated one million dollars for the
Illinois exhibit, was acted upon. Eff
forts to reduce the appropriation to
S5OO,OOO or 100000 were successiyely
defeated, but on the motion fixing the
amount at $4,000 it was apparent that
the vote would nearly be a tie. Then
Speaker Crafts (Democrat) voted for
the amendment, and ignoring Repub-
llcan member who wished to change
and vote in favor of the bill hurriedly
announced that the vote had been
closed. Then the House became bed.
lam of shrieking, blaspheming and hur-
rahing men, while Crafts coolly de-
clared that the S7500O0 amendment
had been adopted, 76 yeas to 73 nays.
In the face of a terrific storm of pro-
test the Speaker would listen only to q
motion to adjourn and calmly declared
the motion carried. Members were
now yelling and running about like SO
many Comanches. Halt a dozen made
rush for the speaker to drag the
"Czar," as they called him from the
chair, but were forcibly held by his
friends. More than one legislator
reached for his revolver and riot
seemed inevitable. McInery, of Chica-
go, Democrat, at this moment jumped
to the Speakers stand and shouting:
"We'll reconsider it tomorrow" finally
succeeded in bringing about truce.
It is expected that another outbreak
will take place tomorrow.

EutcI,ered by Red Men.

Los ANGELES, CAL. May 29.-Infor-
nation has been received at army head
quarters from military sources at Fort
Bayard, n. NJ, to the effect that rumors
of Indian hostilities are again current
in that quarter. 1t is reported that a
man named Whitton was killed on Blue
River. Before that family was killed

White Caps at Cheraw.

CHERAw, S. c., May 30.-On last
Wednesday a white man by the name Of
Taylor. hailips from Kansas, arrived IN
Cheraw accompanied by a young colored
woman, whose name or home cannot be
learned. The couple secured board at
negro restaurant.
Last night between u and O'Clock
band OF White Caps broke into their
room, took them both out and in most
unmerciful manner applied the cowhide
to their bare backs. Taylor plead that
the women was his wife and begged for
mercy, but the White Caps continued
their whipping as long as they thought
the pair could stand it.
Taylor threatened to bring suit against
the town this morning, but he has since
tied to parts unknown. The woman has
also left town. Taylor is fine look
ing man and trestle builder by trade.
It's thought that the White Caps came
from Marlboro, as Taylor and his alleged
wife came from Belnettsvil!e to Cheraw.

a SERIOUS CHARGE.
Made Against the South Carolina Peniten-
tiary Authorities

SUMTER, S. g., June 3.-The sersibili-
ties of the citizens Of Sumter have sell
dom experienced greater shock than
they have to-day upon witnessing the
condition presented by a squad cf sixty
seven convicts which have been lying
over at the Coast Line depot here, en-
route for Columbia. In the whole
batch there is not a single decens suit
of clothes. Jackets, shirts and panta-
looms are in tatters, and nearly all are
bare-footed. Fortunately it is warm
enough for the prisoners to escape ac-
tual suffering on this account.
The squad arrived here from Dar-
lington about II o'clock this morning,
by way of the e., S. & n. r. r. and will
have to remain till they can be trans
ported further by the Coast Line.
These conyicts have been working
down on the Pee Dee in the construc.
tion of the g., S. & n. road. Their work
being finished for the present, Capt. G.
E. Wheeler, who has had charge of
them, broke up the stockade at l p. m.
yesterday and came over to Darlington.
The sick prisoners were brought in a
wagon; the others walked.
Mr.. r. II. Baker, bookkeeper for
Louis McLane, who has charge of the
construction of the road, came along
with the guards. and informed The
State correspondent to-day that one of
the prisoners. William Gray, died on
the road to Darlington. of typhoid few
er, with which he had been sick for
some time. He was wrapped in a blank
ct and buried on the roadside.
The State correspondent learns that
the prisoners were fed just before ieaY-
ing the Pee Dee, and after their arrival
in Darlington in the evening, but since
then have been given no food by the
State authorities. They left Darling
ton at this morning without having
eaten since the night before, and have
had nothing here either for dinner or
supper except what was given in chari-
ty by the citizens of the place, who had
learned Of their condition.
The convicts, it is stated, usually get
meal and bacon furnished them, and
sometimes beef. The food is cooked by
the prisoners, the pots, etc., being kept
IN the stockade, and meals are dished
out IN pans three times a day. These
things have not been forwarded yet,
and there will be nothing for the men
to eat as long as they stay here, except
what is given in charity.
Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Weeks each gave
one of the conyicts so cents and sent
him up town to buy dollars worth of
bread. This made the midday meal for
slxty-seVen negro men.
This evening some negroes in the
neighborhood of the depot cooked some
victuals and sent them over.
The people here are Mortified at such
state OF things. Nothing of this kind
was ever heard of year ago, when the
superintendency of the penitentiary
was in other hands, though the same
squad lay over here for some time.
The people in Sumter believe in econo-
my, but not in starvation.
One of the men is paralytic, and has
been for months, yet he has been kept
at work on the road; two others have
dropsy, and one has a severe wound on
the knee.-The State.

Clearing the Town.

CHICAGO, May 2S.--A dispatch from
Crawfordville, Ind, says: Wayeland
is in a ferment, and time of greater
excitement was never known there.
Yesterday morning a committee Of
:wo OF the strikers called upon Pay
master Parkhurst and informed him
that he must leave town at once. He
was escorted to the suburbs by the
committee and the last seen of him he
was ploding along the road toward
Ladog. Soon after the master mechanic
of Midland and three comrades were
told that they had five minutes in
which to leave, and were likewise es-
corted to the edge Of the town by a
crowd of strikers and started down the
Eandalia road. Sheriff McCluskey Is
cOnferrinp with the strikers.

Politics and Passwords.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 28.-The Grand
Lodge of the Knights Of Reciprocity of
the United States will convene here
next Tuesday. Steps will then be taken
for extending the Order with a view
to making it power in the campaign
of 1892. The Order now has two hun
dced lodges in Kansas and it's proposed
to organize in all other States where
the Peoples party has strength.
Only Republicans whose fidelity to
the party cannot be questioned will be
intrusted with the work Of extending
the Order. The success of political
work by secret societies has aroused
the Republicans here to the necessity
of taking some steps to offset the work
of the Alliance. The party, however,
is divided on the adviSabllity of con-
Quoting campaign by secret societies.
The Peoples party has been denounced
as Un-American because of its secret
work and some of the leaders declare
that the Republicans cannot be con-
sistent and work through the Knights
of Reciprocity, who have signs and
grips and passwords.
