SPARTANBURG, S. c.. Sept. 27.-This
it'll city. situated on the Charlotte &
Atlanta railway, branch of the Il. &
ID. system, was the scene of a tragedy
at p. IN. to-day. j. Henneman, the
mayor, was shot down without a mo-
ment's warning, and the murderer is
now in Jail in momentary expectancy of
being lynched. A Ourly negro, by the
name of John Williams, was making a
disturbance at home with his
wife. Cries of all sorts were
heard from that direction when
Mayor Henneman went to the house to
find out the cause. He arrested Will
Iams and was trying 10 prevent his es-
cape until the police came to his as
sistance. Williams succeeded in push
ing Henneman out of the door, and,
while he was falling, shot him in the
back. killing him instantly. To say the
town was excited does not begin to eX-
press it. Groups of excited men are
gathered all over the city talkin g
of nothing else. At p. m. the
Jail is surrounded by howl
ing mob and lacks only a leader
to procure the prisoner. There is no
doubt but that South Carolina will add
another lynching TO her list tonight.
Mayor Henneman is the same man who,
some time ago, prevented mob from
lynching Murderer Turner, an infiuen-
tial farmer who murdered his brother
ln-law. Henneman on this occasion
mounted cannon, which the mob
placed near the Jail, and, with pistol
in his hand. shouted that he would kill
the first person who approached the jail.
BY his GOODNESS Turner was saved.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Sept. 81. Yesterday
the ralnmakers made their first expert
ment here and it was complete sue
cess. Broken cumulous clouds had been
floating overhead all the morning. and
at p. m. Messrs. Ellis, Castor and
Fairchild entered carriage and drove
out OF town, accompanied by County

two boxes in the carriage containing
two dozen twenty-pound bombs. When
the outskirts of the town was reached
the mortars were set up on a small hill.
Three rounds were fired, four shells
being exploded at each vol
ley, while broken clouds were pass
ing overhead. No rain was falling any,
where in the vicinity when the firing
was begun, but after every report a
sharp shower fell, and, as the clouds
passed away to the southwest, the rain
was to be seen falling in torrents over a
limited area. By the time the last shot
was fired the party were drenched, and
returned TO the hotel. The rain could
be seen spreading off TO the southwest,
which was general over the entire city,
ana continued for half an hour. Mr..
Ellis was seen at the hotel this evening.
and said: 1.-THE citizens committee OBJ
jected to our making experiments on so
small scale this evening, believing
that it would not be successful, but |
knew the conditions were favorable,
and wished TO show them how easy a
rain could be started at such time"
The final experiments here will be made
next week, then the party will operate
at the points OIL the Mexican National
railroad, finishing their work at San
Diego.

EJACULATION.
A Remarkable Case oft Reported
From Tennessee.


BRISTOL, Tenn, Sept. 27.-Dr. B. F.
Bell, of ParriOtsville, Tenn, Saturday
read before the East Tennessee Medical
society paper Oh a wonderful case of
exfoliatlon, or the election of bones
from the human body. The victim of
the peculiar disease is a lady named
Sarah Heas, seventy-one years of
age, residing in Caney Branch. About
twenty-one years ago the doctor was
trst called to his patient and since that
tlme he has given her ailment close at
tentlon. During all these years more
IMAM 600 bones have been expelled from
different parts of Miss Heas' body. This
exfoliation, Doctor Bell said, has taken
place without pam and inflammation,
and after the election of bones sores
would quickly heal. The disease first
began in the index finger of her left
hand. Every bone in that hand disap-
peared and new ones took their places.
The next member of the body
attacked was the arm. Then the Shout
der blade and then the lower jaw bone.
Some of the bones worked out through
the throat and others penetrated the
ear. The doctor said the process worked
SO rapidly that he had sat near the
patient several times and watched the
bones as they came out without any as
slstance except that of nature itself.
Some of them were six inches in length
and one inch in diameter, while
others were smaller. They were
of every conceivable shape When
the doctor presented them to
the fraternity for examination it ap-
peared to be the contents of an I'M
earthed coffin, but few of those present
thought that they were any,
thing else but bones from some lower
animal. The doctor says he will send
the collection to an expert for an exam
lnation. 1t has been six months since
the first paper was read to the society on
this remarkable case. During this lapse
of lime the election has been going on
at rapid pace. In the latter part of
his paper the doctor said:
Three weeks ago | called to see a
patient While was present She began
to complain of severe pains in the
regions of the coronoid process and ex-
tending to the ear. In less than FIVE
minutes from the beginning of the pain
a section of bone from the lower Jaw,
one inch long and oue-fourth of an inch
wide, passed through the intervening
flesh and teguments and presented itself
thus entirely disengaged in the external
left ear. simultaneously there was a
similar section in the right ear accom-
panied with thin bone"
The doctor concluded his paper with
the following statement: The lady
has resided at the same place for the
past twenty-one years. She is visited
by many persons who come to learn the
real truth of the case. and they all go
away declaring that it is the most WON
derful phenomenon that they ever heard
of in this or any other land. The
woman travels but little, and has never
been on train. She is we'll connected,
having relatives i'll different parts of

PARIS, Sept. 27.-When the chambers
resume legislative work next month the
efforts of Mr.. Reid, the American
minister, for the withdrawal of the
pork prohibition are certain to be
crowned with success. The COM
mittee of the senate will give
Immediate attention to the bill
passed by the deputies. In official cir
cIes the opinion prevails that the res
ending of the German pork prohibition
was accelerated by the vote of the
French chamber; that Germany, seeing
that the French government had re-
solved to withdraw the French pro-
hibitiOn, seized the chance afforded by
the postponement of the French bill to
get ahead in complying with the Ameri-
can demands.
The Brazilian government has APP

The Steamer Circassia Run Into
by Schooner.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The Anchor
liner Circassia returned to port to-day
with large hole in her starboard bow.
She had collided on Saturday night
about 10 o'clock with the schooner Day
light, bound from Boston to Philadel-
phia. The Circassia was in charge of
Chief Officer Balston at the time. He
says the steamer was going along
slowly. The night was dark and hazy.
Suddenly, he said, the men on the look
out saw a light ahead. He was in a
a quandray as to what action
should be taken when a green
light appeared OH the other
side. The CircassIa ported her
helm, and in moment the unknown
showed her red light and was directly
under the steamers bow. The engineer
reversed, but before it had any effect a
crash came, and hole four feet square
was smashed into the Circassia's star
board bow. The jibboom and bows of
the schooner were carried away. The
Daylight proceeded on her way. The
Circassia returned for repairs. There
was no little commotion among the 100
passengers when the crash came. They
will remain on the vessel while she is
being repaired, which will take a day or
two. She will not go on the dry dock.

three assistants went to English Bay, in

writ of ejectmente on Samuel Greer.
The latter, however, barricaded the
house and refused to admit the
officers. An attempt was made to
force an entrance, whereupon Greer
fired a shotgun, severely wounding
the deputy sheriff and slightly injuring
one of his assistants. The party then
left and warrant was issued for Greer,
who was taken in custody this after
noon. Previous attempts had been
made to serve the ejectment writs, but
they were unsuccessful through Greer's
refusal to vacate and the forbearance of
the officers, but to-day it was finally re-
solved to force the courts edict, with
the above results.
