- Carp culture has not proved popu-
lar in California. They breed as fast as
English sparrows, and their numbers
have become a nuisance. Tho demand
for them as food declined, for they are
inferior in flavor to that of tho favor ito
local fish, but the carps voraciousness ac-
o,1ired for it the reputation ofa scavenger.
Breeders abandoned the work Of propa-
cation and turned their carp into the
dearest water courses with the result
that the waters of the State were in a
short time infested with the greedy
fsh. Now, it is said, they swarm in ell
the tide sloughs adjacent to San Fran
cisco. and shoals of them are to he seen
in the San Joakin and Sacramento rivers.
One fishing club, indeed, is so heartily
tired of the carp as to talk Of draining its
lake and. killing all the cbnoxio9s fish,

1t Is eminently proper that we as
Christian people and g God fearing nation
should suspend al, business for one day
and return thanks to The Divine Author Of
the Universe-to Him in whose hands are
the destinies of the'nations-for the man
ifold and varied blessings bestowed upon
us as nation and as individuals. This
day (Thursday) is being observed gener-
ally by the citizens of the United States
as Thanksgiving holiday. If any nation
under the sun should be thankful for the
distinguished rights, privileges, prosper
ity and pleasures they receive and enjoy
ours is prominently that nation. 1t is
not day for excessss in eating and
drinking, nor should it be devoted entire
ly to the transient pleasures Of this world.
From ten tho asand temples Of God a
grand chorus of praise and thanksgiving
will ascend to heaven, and every citizen
should join this godly multitude and
swell the anthems Of praise and the
chorus of thanksgiving and prayer to a
volume that will testify alike to our ap-
probation of the blessings we enjoy and
our sincerity in our dcvotions. AS stated
last week, business generally will be sus-
pended in Anderson, thus giving every
one an opportunity to attend the worship
that will be held in the Churches and to
spend the day in such way as conscience

THE coMPrRoLLER-GENERA1 ERRED.

Judge Hudson has, decided that the act
Of the Comptroller-G General in ordering
an auditor to assess bank stock at its
market value for taxation after it has
been returned by the president at it's par
value, which valuation has been accepted
by the township board of assessors and
the County board Of equalization, is
without the authority of law and therefore
is illegal and nuga.ory.
The Newberry National Bank returned
its stock for taxation at s10O per share, or
at its par value. Comptroller General
Ellerbee ordered the auditor to raise this
return from 800 to Sl6O per share, the
market value of the stock, which order
was obeyed. The Bank petitioned the
Court for writ of mandamus compelling
the auditor to reduce the assessment to
the returns made by the Bank and ac-
cepted by the local board of assessors and
the county board of equalization. The
Court granted the mandamus, thereby
granting the relief sought by the Bank.
The Comptroller-Genera! will carry the
ase to the Supreme Court for final settle
ment.
Judge Hudson's decision has nothing to
do, as we understand, with determining
whether bank shall return its stock at
its par value or at its market value, but
simply means that the Comptroller-Gen-
eral acted illegally in setting aside the
action of the local board of assessors
and the County board of equaliza-
ton in this matter, and ordering
the auditor to assess property at
figures which he (the Comptroller-Gener-
aD may think is its taxable value. In
other words, it means that the spirit eff
our laws is hostile TO Capitalization of
power, and that the authority Of the
Comptroller-Gen General is not 80 supreme
that he can override the decision of local
and county boards, and therefore assess
property at such value as his individual
judgment may direct. 1t is an unmfstak-
able intimation to the Comptroller-Gen-
eral that South Carolina considers "two
heads better than one' in assessing the
property of her citizens for taxation.

THE SLEEP-FASTING MATCH.

The Two Contestants Will Either Go
 Crazy Die.
 DETROIT, Mich, April 6.-No sporting event in years has attracted the attention of the sleep-fasting match during the past 24 hours. Up to 9 o'clock to-day two men, Cunningham and Townsend, had fought sleep with success for 16O hours, and 10000 people saw them con- tinue the fight.
 Netherlands turnstile clicked and clicked all yesterday, and the house was not big enough to hold the crowds. Old man Townsend is wreck. He dares not sit down or stop his racing up and down the platform for a single minute for fear he will fall asleep. Cunningham is crazy and likely to drop out at any minute. He says the whole thing seems like dream, and half the time he does not know what is going on.
 Two doctors are in attendance ready to take charge of the man that fails. Doc tors say that neither man is entirely sane, and that when the fast is up this after noon they will require the closest watch ing. They think the men will either go crazy or die, if allowed to sleep more than 15 minutes at time. and have prepared place for their reception the minute the fast is oyer

PLOTTERS ARRESTED

 RObertsOn's Millions.
THE BOGUS WIDOW CONFESSED.
Receiving No Money from the Oonspirators
 She Exposed the Scheme.

The Conspiracy Was Matched at Stamford, COnn.-Lawyer Cohen Instructs the Woman How to Act Her Part-Drilled
 Peculiarities-To be Arraigned To-day.
 NEW YORK, April 6.-For some timA Inspector Byrnes has been endeavoring to get at the bottom of a conspiracy con- cocted several months ago to obtain pos session of the estate of the bachelor mil lionaire, Loring A. Robertson, who died at the Hotel St. George on October 10 last, and has just bagged five, the whole number of persons who were party to the plot.
 Their names are Cassie Helen Brooks, Byron w. Cohen, lawyer of this city; James Daskam, of Stamford, Conn.,; Ed ward L. Studwell and Mrs. West.
 The conspiracy was matched in Stam- ford, in which place all of the implicated parties originally lived. The scheme originated with 'Daskam, who shortly after Robertson's death asked Studwell to secure a woman to impersonate Robert sons widow. Studwell procured Mrs. West and took her to Cohen's office to make the necessary affidavits. It was de- cided by Daskam next day, however, that MrS. west was too ola ana unattract1Ye, and Cassie Brooks, who better answered the requirements, was substituted for her. Cohen liked her appearance and instructed her in her role. She was thereafter to call herself Helen Robertson and was fur nished with photograph of Robertson and drilled into 8 recital of that gentle mans conspicuous peculiaritiss,
 Cohen then took Miss Brooks before Max Moses, notary, and obtained her signature to affidavits alleging that she was Robertson's widow, having lived with him as his wife at various places mentioned. Subsequently she petitioned for letters of administration on Robert sons estate. and was taken by Daskam to Philadelphia to keep her out of the way of Evarts, Choate 6 Beaman, coun- sel for Robertson's heirs.
 Receiving no money from the conspira- tors and becoming alarmed at the in- creasing complications, Miss Brooks sought the advice of friend, upon which she communicated the details of the plot to District-Attorney Nicoll, resulting in the arrest of the plotters, who will be ar raigned this afternoon.

Completed His Mlake-Up.

An anecdote is going the rounds in Australia, says the Sheffield Telegraph, concerning the manner in which a we'll. known leading actor supplied the acci- dental absence of a necessary item of makeup" He was playing Macbeth, and when he came to the murder scene he asked in vain for the blood with which he had intended to imbrue his hands. After abusing the property man roundly for his neglect, the actor, struck with happy thought, suddenly hit the functionary on the nose, so that good supply of crimson fluid was obtained and in this the actor bathed his palms.

Curious Effect of Political Excitemenrs on
 the Markets and Theaters of Paris.
 An observant Parisian once said that he never permitted a mushroom or a shrimp to be eaten in his house during periods of political excitement, because at such times the attention of the marketmen was diverted from their legitimate avocation and poisonous fungi and unfit crustacea were per mitted to find place with the whole some delicacies. According to statistics published by the Assistance Publique in Paris there are other things besides mushrooms and shrimps affected by politics, and that there is a curious bond of sympathy between politics and the box office of theaters. In the stormy times of 1s4S the annual receipts from the Paris theaters and concert cafes were only S1, 100, 900; in 1858, how. ever, they were $2,3o0, 900. The Crimean war caused a falling of of S120,o00 but the exposition year, 1855, raised the receipts to S2,so0, 900. In 1857 and 1858 the receipts were S2, ,540,- 900 each, but they fell in 1859, the year of the Italian campaign, almost S1oO,. 900 lower. In the exposition year, 1887, NhC e1AS6OC1S tOOA HI VESzOOpOOOS III 1OtCa g, CSC, ,00o; in 1869, S3,04o, ,0oO. In 70, with tho plebisoite in May and the declaration of war in summer, but S1, 500, ,0o0 was received. In 1871 even this shrank away to $1, ,125, ,O0o. In 1872 the clearing of the political atmosphere was indicated by the rise of receipts to $3, 21o, 900 and In 1876 to S4,S1O, 1000. Tho parliamentary troubles and the cleo tions of 1877 brought about falling of of $40, 900, but the worlds fair of 1878 caused an enormous increase to S6, 130,- 900. For the four or five years before 1887 the receipts were about 5000, ,ooo annually. Then the Boulanger intrigue sent them down to S4,o4o, ,0o0 and in 1888 to $4,50o, ,o0o. The exposition year, 1889, brought the figures up to S6, 4oO,- 900, followed by another reaction to $4, ,b00, 900 in 1890.

Two Youngsters Cut a Child's Face in Q
 Horrible Manner.
 WASHINGTON, N. J., April 6.-Mrs. James MacNerney, of Karrsville, left her three children, aged 9, and 8, at home, while she went to the store, and when she re- turned she found the youngest lying on the floor covered with blood, with a razor by her side. The child was very weak from the loss of blood, though not dead. Her little face was one mass of cuts, and in the neck was 8 huge gash that came within very little of cutting the jugular vein.
 The other children were finally discov- cred in a closet half asleep, their little hands covered with blood. They ex- plained to their mother that they had been playing barber and trying to shave the baby, who would not keep still and so was cut. They became frightened at the blood and hid themselves.
 The baby's wounds were dressed and she will recover, though she may have 6 three bad scars on her face

A Preacher and Prize Fighter Hacks HI
 Wife to Pieces.

JERSEY CrrY, N. J., April 6.-Edward W. Hallingar, colored, who, it is said, has been a preacher and a pugilist, mur- dered his wife in q most brutal manner yesterday. The woman had recently left him on account of cruel treatment.
 Hallingar, while besotted with liquor, forced an entrance into the house where his wife was stepping, and began beat ing her on the head with a lather's hatchet. Again and again he sank the weapon into the woman's skull. Even after the woman was dead the infuriated brute kept striking her with the hatchet and when he finally 6esisted the woman's skull was crushed to a bleeding mass.
 Both her arms were nearly severed from the body, these having been cut while she raised them in an endeavor to ward off the blows.
 Hallingar then endeavored to kill him self. He had cut himself severely about the head when the police arrived and disarmed him.
 The refusal of the woman to again live with him was the reason given by the murderer for his terrible crime.

 WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary Blaine Is keeping secret his latest correspondence with the Marquis di Rudini, the Italian Premier. regarding the New Orleans tragedy, A State Department official said this forenoon that he thought the text of Rudini's ca blegram and Blaine's reply might he given to the press to-day.
 Just why MT. Blaine withholds the correspondence is not explained, except on the ground that it is a custom of his not to make public State matters until assurances are given that those to whom letters or dispatches are addressed have received them. It is hinted that the Sec retary of State may have embodied in his reply a recital of the facts regarding the murder by Italians near Wilkesbarre two years ago of Paymaster Bernard Mcclure and Stable Boss Hugh Flanagan.
 He has received the necessary docu- ments from District Attorney Darte, giv- ing details of the crimes committed by 'Red-Nosed Mike" Giuseppe Bevivino and Vincenso Villali. The last two es- capped to Italy, with $12, ,000 belonging to Contractor McFadden. It may be that Mir Blaine has mentioned the money as an offset to the present Italian indemnity claim A demand for the surrender of Bevivino and Villali has either been made in Mir.

Trouble for American Fishermen.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 6.-The re- ported action of Captain Jacobs, of the fishing schooner Rrunhilda, who, it is alleged, escaped giving bonds for viola tion of Newfoundland's fishing laws by a breach of good faith, has caused good deal of adverse criticism here. Captain Jacobs action is greatly to be regretted, especially as Newfoundland has granted to American fishermen many privileg ges, which she has withdrawn from the Cana, dians and the French. These privileges may now be withdrawn, and serious trouble for the American fishermen in those waters may follow.

 PEsrBINA, N. D., April 6.-One of the bloodiest tragedies in the history of Penn pima County occurred near Bowermont yesterday at the residence of Robert IT. win, where Frederick Bartlett shot and mortally wounded Thomas Mcconnell and H. G. Hill, shot Irwin in the abdo- men, and an hour later blew his own brains out. Mcconnell was shot five times and Hill twice.
 It appears that Fred and Thomas Bart lett, knowing that Mcconnell was at IT. wins house, went there for the purpose of killing him, claiming that he mlsled their sister under promise of marriage, and then married an other woman.
