a SOUTH BOUND RUMoR.
The Barnwell, and Barnweli, Alston
and Newberry May be Leased.

The Barnwell, and Barnweli, Alston
and Newberry May be Leased.
The Charleston World published an inter-
view yesterday with a gentleman from
Blackville, in which il was stated that the
South Bound railroad would probably
build TO Barnwell instead of Graham. on
the South Carolina railway, as had
been previously contemplated 1t said:
"Should this be accomplished the Barnwell
railroad, together with the Barnwell, Aston
and Newberry, will be leased and utilized as
a main line toward either Columbia or Sum-
ter. From some point on the latter road a
stem will be built through Edgeheld county
to Greenwood, connecting Vith the Green
vile, Columbia and Newberry.n
The result of this move would save the
South Bound the building of some thirty
miles of road, and would form a competing
system to the Atlantic Coast Line.
The president of the Savannah Construc-
ton Company was seen last night and was
arked If there was any foundation for the
story, but ne would neither deny nor affirm
IL, saying he knew nntniag of it, and il he
did he would say no hing about it, as he did
not consider it a matter of concern to the
public.

Editor Morning Netes: In view Of the
rigid enforcement of the Sunday closing
law, it may be of interest to the general
public to know that they can employ their
Sundays at home in rejecting on the beauty
and elegancs Of the magnificent stock o:
Diamonds, Fine Jewelry and Silverware at
Sternberg's, and the very low prices ruling.
Whenever the occasion arrives, such as a
birthday or other anniversary, or say q
presentation to some friend or other person
OF a piece or set Of silverware or fine
gold headed cane or umbrella it will be
well to remember that Sternberg's is the

The Ouintette Concert.

The Mendelssohns, who have always been
favorites with Savanpahians, come this
year moro highly indorsed than ever. The
papers everywhere speak in highest terms
of their performances and are particularly
enthusiastic on the singing of Miss Marie
Barnard, the prima donna, of whom the
San Francisco Cal says: Miss Marie Bar
nard Is California girl, who has received
all her training in her home In San Fran
cisco. She is highly cultivated lady, with
beautiful voice, sKillfully trained. She
has an extensive acquaintance with all
styles of music, old and new, and is great
favorite in her own city. She creates a
genuine furore wherever heard.
The reserved seat diagrams will open this
morning at Buffers pharmacy, and as
Masonic Temple is not large the perform
ance on Wednesday night will probably be
well attended. Subscribers for the entire
concert season and who also hold their cou>
pons for this concert, can get reserved seats

GAMBLERS CAUeHr IN a GAME.
Policeman Smiths Raid On an Old
Fort Meeting.

@O34CSmhu SmiLhs EalQ OQ an Ola
Fort Meeting.
Officer James Smith, assisted by four
young men, Oscar Hansen. James Feay,
Peter Smith and William Mcdonald, raided
house on jackson street, near Reynolds,
yesterday afternoon shortly after O'Clock,
and captured five negro gamblers. At the
barracks the gamblers gave their names as
George Lamb, Joe Lucas, Hannibal Fagins,
William lawson and Luther McCahan.
Mamie Watson and her family occupy
the house, and according to Mamie's story
she rented a back room to George Lamb
recently. For several Sundays she has
noticed that Lamb had quite a number of
male callers, and on investigating the mat
ter discovered that he and his companions
did nothing but gamble on the Sabbath.
She warned him that if he didn't stop it she
would call in the police. Lamb made all
sorts OF promises, but yesterday things were
going on as usual, and when the men be-
came noisy in the afternoon Mamie quietly
slipped out and informed Officer Smith of
what was going on.
The officer asked the young men TO &C
company him, which they willingly
did. The officer posted his assistants
outside while he entered the house.
He found the men busily engaged
In gambling when he opened the
made break to get away. He captured
two Of them In the room, and the other
three reached the street, only to be gobbled
up. The prisoners offered no resistance,
and they we're escorted to the barracks by
big crowd of people, many of whom
thought a small-sized riot had been in pro-
gress, on account of seeing citizens with
prisoners.
The gamblers must have been running a
rather modest game, as none of them we're
very flush with money when searched at
the barracks. Lamb had only 80 cents, Lu-
cas- 30 cents, and Lawson and Fagins were
without cent. evidently having lost in the
game whatever money they had.
hemently denied that the money was
winnings, saying that he worked for his
money. and had just gore into the house to
pay visit to Lamb, when the policeman
entered. OF course, he did not gamble, and
didn't intend to stay. but, unfortunately
for himself, he tarried just long enough to
be caught in the game
Negro meetings at different points in the
Fort and Yamacraw Sundays has been a
practice of long standing. 1t is only re
Gently, however, that the police
have made any determined ef-
fort to break it up, and
they have been quite successful. Two raids
were made last Sunday, one resulting in
the killing Of one of the gamblers and the
arrest of several others. Officer Smiths
raid yesterday, however. returned the
greatest results, the officer getting every
one engaged in the game.
Some OF the prisoners wanted to send out
for bondsmen, but Sergt. Lingg informed
them that 1t would be useless, as no bail
could be taken for their offense.

BEATEN UP IN THE FORT.
Julius Blacks Encounter with a Crowd
White "Jemboreers."

Julius Blacks Encounter with q Crowd
White "Jemboreers."
Julius Black (colored) is lying in a serI-
Gus condition at his home in Bay lane. near
Houston street. as the result of beating
given him yesterday afternoon about
o'clock by several white men.
The story Of the trouble, as told by coll
ored eyewitness, is that two white men
partly under the influences of liquor were
nl-treating a negro at the corner of Hous-
ton street and Bay lane, when Black inter-
fered and asked them TO desist, saying that
they ought 20 be arrested for such actions
The men then turned from their victim and
started for Black, who picked up a
rock TO defend himself. A crowd had been
attracted by the row, and several joined
the first asSailants Black was knocked
down before he had time to use the rock,
and the crowd began kicking him in the
body and head, and using umbrellas and
sticks on his skull.
After satisfying themselves the assallants
dispersed, leaving Black on the ground in a
bleeding and insensible condition. He was
picked up by friends and conveyed to his
home, where DR.. Wegefarth attended him
and dressed his wounds. Black had q Sc
we're cut in his head, besides being severely
bruised about the body. At z o'clock last
night his wife said he was then unconscious.
A white man, who claimed to know all
about the row, denied the negro's story,
and said that Black had himself to blame
for the beating he received, and that he
didn't get any more than he deserved.
Black and the other negro, who got out
OF che way while the former was being as
saulted, he said. had attacked some small
white Logs for some cause or another and
when the white men interfered Black picked
up sharp pointed rock and tried 10 brain
them, when others went to their assistance.
There will probably be some arrests made
to-day, as Blacks friends said they knew all
the parties engaged in the assault and
would take steps this morning to have
them punished

RUN BY ELECTRICITY.

The Morning News Press es and Ma
chinery hoved by the New Power.
Less than twenty years ago, If one had
been told that in place Of ponderous boil
ers and steam engines an ingeniously con-
trived apparatus, smaller than a modern
cook stove and fed by little copper wires,
would exert the same power. the idea would
have been laughed to ridicule.
The MORNING NEws, alive to all that is
progressive, has adopted electricity as
motive power. The change was by 10
means q matter of necessity it is simply an
auxiliary. The boilers and engines were IN
duplicate. The establishment now has a
third contingent against accidents, far
more safe and economical than
heat through the long summer
and still running day aud night with twenty
horse power. The fire and smoke, the hiss
ing steam aud snorting engines have given
place TO electricity, aud in their stead are
two little innocent looking electric motors.
The study of electricity is indeed inter-
esting. AS yet it is to many a matter Of
conjecture, and for that matter will ever
remain such, but to the thoughtful student
1t is as simple as falling Off a log. The idea
OF generating electricity is but the express
sion or human ignorance. All that hos
ever been done, and indeed all that me-
chanical science can do, is to control and
direct the subtle force.
In the basement of the MORNING NEWS
are two electric motors. running at the rate
OF ], 800 revolutions per minute aud doing
the work Of twenty horses, all with power
that is invisible. These electric motors,
manufactured by the c. 81 C. Electric
Motor Company of New York and put in
and operated by the Brush Electric Light
and Power Company, are truly a wonder
full triumph of mec ecnanical science, running,
as they do. with precision and regularity
akin to perfection. The MORNING News
Publishing House, heretofore ahead of any
thing else in the south. is now more than
doubly equipped.

There is freshet in the river and the
water has risen very high. 1t has been

ten days and has given the river steamers
considerable difficulty in landing freights.
In fact, at some landings they have been
unable to land the freight and have had to
bring it back, as the landings were over

Carolina side of the river.
The high water also impedes progress on
the steamer Katie, sunk near the Charles

very likely that work will have to be- dis
