A MARROW ESCAPE.
A Houseboat Strikes Against Pier OF the
Union Bridge.

About ten o'clock yesterday morning IA
trading boat, which had taken on some
glassware at the Northwood and Buck
eye factories, was floating down the
river, and the strong wind which was
prevailing rendered useless the efforts
of the men on board to direct the course
OF the boat. When it was apparent
that the boat wbuld strike against the
shore pier Of the Union bridge, one OF
the men took skiff and rowed to the
Ohio shore, leaving eight persons on
the boat to perish.
The boat struck the pier with crash
but remained whole, on account OF its
strong build. The cries of the men and
women on board brought large crowd
ON both sides of the river. The Terry
boat "Climax" was crossing the river al
the time, and after landing her pasSen'
gers. went to the rescue Of the people
ON the houseboat, and succeeded IN res
cuing them from their perIlouS position.

sorted to income taxes, and resorts at
the present time to internal revenue
taxes. If we, in South Carolina, could
substitute in the State the power of
collecting just the taxes that are now
collected by the General Government
on the article of tobacco alone within
the borders of South Carolina, or on
Whiskey, our income would be so assur-
ed and the burdens of our people so
much lightened that we would have
comparatively no financial trouble at
all, and with the revenue tariff proper
ly adjusted there never would be
any danger that the Government in
time of peace would have TO resort to
any OF these extraordinary and irregu-
lar methods Of taxation which were in.
tended by the Constitution to be eXer-
cised only in times of war and other
emergecies Of a public nature, and we
would all be in amuch better condition.
Therefore, that doctrine which has been
announced and m iintained by one class
of statesmen from the days of Jeffer
son down, that the tariff for revenue
should be levied In such manner as
to furnish the resources of the Govern
ment economically conducted, is in the
direction of low trade rather than high
trade, because, as has been demonstrate
ed by the operation of the Mckinley
bill, high tariff cuts off revenue, and
by a low tariff the revenue would be in
creased, and therefore, be ample for all
the demands OF the Govornment. In
the same manner that an excursion
train IN the railroad will realize larg-
er amount at low rates than they would
ut high rate because of the greater
inducement to travel which the low
rates affords, so the reduction of duties
cheapens products. increases their i'm.
poItation and the amount of revenue
raised therefrom, and gives to the States
field where they can resume somewhat
the old Importance of States in this
Union, or at least of having the power
OF raising revenues untrammelled by
the General Government entering into
what is peculiarly their sphere of taxa.

No Money In Melons

The Aiken Journal and Review, of
last week, says: THE melon growers
have come out at the little end of the
horn this year, receiving, in IA manner,
nothing for their melons. Whether the
failure In price is due to over prOduc-
tion or combination on the part OF
commission men North to swindle them
we know not. One fact is pa int,
there has been no money made on the
melon crop this year. A number of
cars have been shipped from this point,
from which nothing has been heard.
Some have shippe.i and the commission
men have brought the shipper out in
debt for balance due on freight, while
others have received returns allowing
only few dollars over and above ex-
penses. Mr.. Andrew Burckhalter ship
pea car load Of magnificent melons
ITO In number that weighed $1,000
pounds. He refused $85 90 cash at the
depot. He received the return of sales

penses. Mr.. Duncan, the Auditor of

In discussing the financial policy of
the Uniten States he charged that un-
der the banking system money was
loaned to rich corporations at per cent,
while they were allowed to charge the
farmers per cent. That is John Sh.r.
mans craftsmanship, said the speaker,
but the Alliance do net want any of it
in theirs.
He argued that "upless the people
arose in their might and wiped ou the
existing monetary system of the Gov
ernuient, there will come financial
crash such as this country has never
witnessed" Further he said, 1--WE do
not propose to keep up this sectional
issue in the South and be scared by the
negro. We are not begging for support
of charity, but justice, aud by the help
of God we will have it. He declared
that the Alliance was fighting for the
principles of government as exempt fed
by Washington and Jefferson.
He urged the members of tn. Ali.
ance not to be misled by the politicians s
cry OF the sub-treasury bill. That bill
had teen killed by the Last Congress,
but, said he, there will be another one.
Il any man can tell of one Act passed
by the last Congress for the benefit of
the people let him hold up his hand.
Mono went up. Discard the lawyers.
and send men to Congress with brains
at one end and boots at the other"
He graphically pictured Gen. Grant
looking for a weak place in Gen. Lees
lines during the war, finding it at the
crater, and Grants forces being en-
quilted there. Thus ne compared the
fate OF the two parties who were now
attempting to find weak place in the
Alliance lines
Continuing. he said: "If it be abso.
utely necessary to wipe out both polit-
ical parties In order that we may obtain
relief l would do So" He disclaimed,
however, any intention in the Alliance
forming Third Party, and argued
that il 1T were done the Democratic or
Republican party would be respo 1sible
for 1t. lie closed with the words,
what we need is a higher type of
moral manhood in high places"
Col. Polk spoke about two hours and
at times held the audience spell-bound.

CLEANED UP a COUNCIL.
Forcible Protest of Tax Payers of Kansas
CITY.

CITY.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE
mayor and city council OF Kansas CITY
barely escaped vengeance last night at
the hands of Il crowd of about 800 tax
payers. The excitement rose over II
proposition of the city council to pur-
chase the plant OF the consolidated
eiectric nc light and power company for
S3lO,OOO. There was much public indig-
nation over the proposition, it beng
believed by many that improper in
ducements had been offered to the mem
bers of council to pass the ordinance
authorizing the purchase. The indi2-
nation eliminated last night when Il
mass meeting of tax payers was held to
protest against the proposed purchase.
The meeting was in charge of Hon.
j Ohm Is. ScrOggS, the head of the Kan
aas City bar. Several intcmperate
speeches were made and finally Mr..
Scroggs addressed a crowd from the
bitter language the proposed action of
the council. Finally a committee of
fifteen was appointed to call at the coun-
Gil chamber and present q protest be-
fore the ordinance could be passed. The
crowd, by its own motion, joined the
committee and the march TO the city
hall was taken up. AS the march pro
ceeded the excitement grew until the
mutterings of the crowd became more
loud and bitter and finally eliminated
in shouts Of Lynch them" and "IIang
them.'
The crowd had worked itself up to a
high pitch of indignation when the city
hall was reached. In the mean time
the council had been informed OF the
progress of the mob and a hasty all
JOurnment was taken. The last alder
man had barely beat a rapid retreat
when the advance guard of the mob
rushed into the chamber to be disap.
pointed at finding it empty. The crowd
resolved itself into Il mass meeting
again, and more speeches were made,
the mayor and council being denomin-
ated us towards and thieves. Finally
the mob dispersed without doing any
damage.

from San Francisco says: A train con-
sisting of an engine and twenty-five
cars on the Greenwood Railroad, in

on bluff and disappeared in the Pacif7
ic Ocean. The crew escaped by jump
ing and swimming ashore.
AT the point where the train went
over, the road runs along the side of q
cliff. from which there ~ a sheer de-
scent of about fifty feet into the water
The track is perfectly secure and the
trains run over II at good speed at ali
times. The ill-fated one which yester-
day WIS lost Is not heavier than those
which daily make the trip, nor was 1t
running at q greater rate of speed. The
cars were loaded and sank rapidly,

Apiece.
ALBANY, Ga, Aug. 19.-A remark
able tale comes from Worth county of
the depravity of a young mother on one
hand and the kindness of Il mtn and
wife on the other.
For twelve years Ranse Afford has
been happily married, he and his wife
living most Of the time in East Dough
erty, where they worked on a farm.
This year, however, Afford and his wife
moved to Acrce, where they set up on
small farm for themselves. They are
Industrious negroes, and enjoy the re-
Spect and confidence of all who know
them. But the union OF this couple
has never been blessed by issue, and
they have always felt a loneliness that
they could not describe on that ac-
count. Affords wife though now has
two children on whom to lavish her af-
lection and to whose training she may
devote her life.
She learned recently that negro girl
living near Isabella. had given birth to
twins, but to this she attached very
little Importance until she heard that
the young mother cared nothing for
her offspring and wished to dispose of
them. At once Affords wife repaired
to Isabella, and going to the home of
the young girl at once began u negotia-
ton for the babies. a trade was soon
made, and the mother demanded 80
cents apiece for the children, the price
was quickly paid. and the adopted
mother marched off triumphantly wlih
her new charges
