to hold au inquest over the dead bodies
of Il young white woman, who. 1t ap-
pears, had been led aStray Ivy tho over
lures Of railrOad contractor from tho
west, and her infant. A jury was EN-
paneled and after number or wit.
Eesses had been examined, including
several leading physicians, the jury rem
dered verdict holding DR.. Todd guilty.
DR.. Todd is brother of the late PreSl-
dent Lincoln's wife. lie came to South
Carolina from Kentucky several years
before the war, and settled i'll Barn

sive medical practice, and has ever
since enjoyed the confidence and esteem
Of the entire community. lie served

and won much distinction. 1t is said
that he amputated no less than 700

THEY HAVE FJJSED
An Appeal for Aid.

WELLlNoToN, Kan, June 2,--The
for the suffers by the recent cyclone
to-day issued an appeal to the people
Of the United States. The people, says
the appeal, are met on every side with
want, discouragement and depression.
All that could be done to relieve dis.
tress has been done by those citizens of
the town who suffered NJ loss, and still
the amount of aid yet to L- rendered is
very great. A few thousand dollars Of
aid now would accomplish more than
many thousands at more distant day.
"We need money most of all" says the
appeal; "but would be greatful for any
thing valuable, especially household
furniture"

ia ally injured and his brother was pain:
fully hurt. Both men were knocked
unconscious. Ifrobbery was the object
of the crime the men did not get any

some on his person. 1t is believed that

New YORK, June 2.-The bark Libe-
ria, Capt. Rogers, which arrived today
from M0nrovia, and Sierra Leone, COM
pleted the round trip in the unparallel-
ed time of seventy-tive days. This in
cludes the time of discharging and
taking on cargo at two West African
ports. Among the Liberals passen-
gers were the Rev. a. Mccullough, of
the International Missionary Society,
and his wife, whose ill-health induced
him to return to America. He spent
fifteen months in Sierra Leone. He has
not acquired high opinion of either
the American negro or the educated
African there. Several Of the Liberals
colored steerage passengers are native
Africans coming here to be educated,
and four are returning Americans. Mr..
Mccullough says that much rum is i'm
ported into Sierra Leone, and that, as
the natives absorb it with the doctrines
OF the missionaries, the results of tho
conversions are not always agreeable
TO contemplate. Many Of the colored
Americans who stay in Sierra Leone
called themselves Europeans, and when
Ihey get prosperous buy slaves to in
crease their wealth. The Portuguese
ana the colored Americans treat their
slaves with greater harshness than any
o!her slave owners. The natives AT
rlcah Is usually spoiled 10y a European
euucatlon. The Liberia brought sew
eral boxes OF pythons and monkeys.

ThS PariSiSn Fashion ,JOurnafs

"La Mole de Paris" and "Album des
Nodes" SO Well-knOWn us the publica-
tions giving the choicest Paris styles
one month in advance Of :tll other jour
mails, appear to be growing just little
too popular. The demand for them is
growing SO rapidly that the publishers,
n. Mcdowell IL Co., 4 West 14th Street,
New York, have found it difficult to
keep up with the increasing demand
each month. They claim that the
American ladies' are now buying their
journals to such I'm extent that most
Of the newSIealerS are entirely out of
them by the fifth Of the month. AS all
the plates are made in Paris by the best
artists, the publishers claim that it re-
qnireS considerable time to catch up
with such an increased demand. We
agree with our lady friends that these
are superior fashion journals. Wesug-
gest to them to become regular sub
scribcrS, thus making sure OF receiving
their journal each month, and securing
that valuable book, "DreSsmaking SIM
plilied," that is given us a premium to
each subscriber paying $3 50 in advance
for either ola Mode dc Paris" or al
bum des Modes" for one year. You
may place the order through your news
agent, or send direct to the publishers.

Iiurrah for the Governor,

COLUMBIA, 5. g., May 81 Governor
Tillman has been working very quietly
but eilcctually to break up an evil that
has been inflicted on the citizens of
Hamburg by reason of the strict en-
forcemcnt of law in Augusta. 1t APP
pears that since the change in the city
government Of Augusta her citizens
who did not carry home Il "tickler" on
Saturday night were as dry as a bone
on Sunday. Hamburg, across the river.
was very pleasant Sunday walk and
thither the thirsty crowd hied them
selves on Sunday in order to wet their
dry and parchcd lips, and in conse-
qucncc the Sunday liquor traffic grew
into such an open violation Of the law
as to make it disgusting to decent peO-
pie. The laW-abiding citizens could
obtain no redress, as the mayor, alder
men and even the chief Of police, who
also fills the office Of Trial Justice, had
all gone into the liquor traffic and were
violating the law. So the law abiding
people appealed to the Governor for re-
lleI. The Governor was determined
that tho business should stop, so he
quietly sent Messrs. Hartin and Iol-
loway to the scene and they went to
work in quiet but etfectual way to
break it up. They had the legal knowl-
edge of Assistant Attorney General
Townsend who made several visits to
Hamburg to assist them, and yesterday
Governor Tillman received a telegram
from him announcing the fact that
twenty-five arrests had been made for
violation of the law. Further develop
ments will be watched with interest.
Governor Tillman is determined that
South Carolina shall not supply Au-
gusta's drinkers with liquor on Sun
day.-Register.

DEATH DOES NOT discriminate. Tn
the terrible disaster at Wellington dan
Gers at the ball and worshippers at the

would probably have preferred going
TO the great beyond from the prayer

Love and ar.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April S.-J Muir
ply, a Monroe county farmer, attempted
recently to clope with a daughter of
Frank Midland, a neighbor. Midland
drove Murphy away and a few hours
later was shot from ambush and instant
ly killed. \ neighborhoOd row followed.
Mrs. Dave Moss, participant, has just
been fatally injured and her husband
badly crippled. George Bailey, another
of the combatantS, has been shot full Of
lead. Excitement runs so high that the
coroner Is afraid to hold an inquest over
Midland's body and officers refuse TO
make any arrests.
For some time the mountainous re
giOn in Tennessee and Eastern Kentucky
in which this feud has broken out has
been circled by a dead line" 1t en-
braces parts of four counties and was
laid out some months ago by Berry
Turner. The object in surrounding this
mountainous region with a dead line
was to keep negroes and revenue officers
out. Since the establishment of this
rural graveyard a number of colored
men have crossed into it and never re
turned.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Long Search nded.

PITrsEUKC, April PA Dunbar, Pa,
special says; The long search for the
remains Of the twenty-nine miners who
were entombed in the Hill Farm mine
on June Is, 1890, was completed this
afternoon by the finding of the last three
bodies. Two bodies were found yeSter-
day, and one, that OF Barney Maust,
was found week ago. All the bodies
except that of Maust were found in the
slope beyond the fatal bore hole, 5000
feet under ground. The men had re-
treated ~ far rs they could get and were
probably the last of the twenty nine VIC
TINS to succumb 10 the effects OF the
smoke and poisonous atmosphere
Mau-t was found within twenty-five feet
Of the mauhoIe and had evidently made
a desperate effort To escape. He was
probably the only one OF the twenty
nine who attempted to get out. The
bodies of five others are badly Gec0m-
posed and cannot he identified. They
viii be inferred tomorrow: Their
names were Peter Reagan, Milton Turn
er, Joseph Biglcy. Barney Maust, James
McCunc and William Hayes. All were
married and had families bat Hayes.

An Experimental Car.

PTTTsBURG, April II. An experimental
car, designed for use in transporting pas
sengers to and from Chicago during the
Worlds Fair, is being built at the Pan
Handle railroad shops at Columbus.
The structure is that of gondola freight
car, but the springs and the upper por-
ton Is that of a passenger coach.
Should the car prove suitable in every
respect 1t Is the intention to construct a
large number of the same pattern. Just
how many will be needed has not been
decided upon as yet. The idea ia secur-
ing this pattern of rolling stock is to
avoid having an unusual number of pas
senger coaches on hand after the great
exhibition is over, for which use could
not be found. With but little expense
the gondola passenger coach could be
converted into simple freight car for
which there is almost always a demand.
The new car is designed to seat forty
five passengers. Its length is thirteen
feet shorter than that of the regular
coach

Drowned.

MOBILE, Ala, April l1.--The Tombig-
bee river has not since 1917 had so sud-
den a great flood as at present. The
farmers on the river were wholly uuprc-
pared and from Columbus, Miss, to Full
ton, the loss OF hogs, cattle, mules and
cottonseed has been unprecedent sd
Much fencing has been swept away and
many persons rendered destitute. \
great deal of land planted in corn and
cotton are under water. Mules. horses
and cattle are seen daily floating down
the river. About Is feet additional rise
is expected.
Reports Of heavy loss Of life come
from Columbus, Miss, on the TOmbig-
bee river, the number Of drowned being
placed ut from 20 to 80, mostly negroes.
Such reports, however, are exaggerated,
though there Is no doubt several persons
have become victims OF the Hood.
New ORLEANS, April 11---Later news
from Columbus, Miss, indicates that
the loss by the flood Is greater than AT
first reported from points below, where
the country Is fiat and devoid OF hills,
thus giving no refuge to the panic-striclS
en- negroes. 1t may therefore be expect
ed that at least 100 negroes have been
drowned IN one county alone.
