A War Incident Recalled.

The publication of the letter Of Arch.
81. Rowand jr., Of Pittsburg, to the Odd
Fellows Lodge OF this city, created much
interest. In consequence Of its publica-
ton q war incident has been recalled in
letter to Mr.. Rowand, and the lotter is
published in the Pittsburg Leader. The
following is the article and the letter:
The father Of Arch II. Rowand, jr.,
who died last November, In his younger
days, in the early forties, was q promi-
nent Odd Fellow at Philadelphia and
going to South Carolina, instituted Odd
Fellow Lodges at Greenville and Laur-
ems. His regalia worn by him at that
time was sent by his son, Arch, as q
present to Mountain Lodge No. Is, I. O..
o. E., of Greenville, s. G. A publication
being made in the papers OF that place
brought forth the following letter:
BRoYLEs' P. O., ANDERSON, s. c.,
October 81, 1892.
"Mr. A. H. Rowand, Jr., Pittsburg,
Pa.-Dear Sir: After reading your letter
In the Greenville Ne,us concerning your
fathers regalia and jewels which you
have sent to the Greenville Lodge, and
noticing your signature to be almost
identical with that of kind hearted
enemy who wore the blue, have decid-
ell to write you ana nnQ OUT II you are
the man who approached mo at the camp
fire near General Sheridan's headquar-
ters, when was prisoner, on the 9th
of April, 1865. Standing with our backs
to the fire, was saluted with fire Of
questions about people in Greenville,
with whom was at the time very we'll
acqusinted, and after some time asked
my questioner's name, and und srstood
his reply to be, 'ArchY Rowand.' 'Archy'
asked the guard to turn me, the prisoner,
over TO him, and was treated to good
breakfast, the first for week.
"Although nearly thirty years have
elapsed since that time, a feeling of graf
itude still fingers with me, and have
desired for some time to become better
acquainted with him. II you are the
man, please accept my sincerest thanks
for kindness which will never be for
gotten, and if you had brother by that
name, please do me the kindness to send
his address so that can write to him.
Hoping to hear from you soon, am,
"Yours sincerely,
II. o, FARMER"
Mr.. Rowand has answered the above
letter and sent his photograph to his
Southern friend, informing him that he
will take the return square meal when 1t

tould do. He says that it would be a
beds were only leased for the securing
of the paym ent of the interest. The levy,
he says, is now two mills on all assessed
property in the State to meet this inter-
est, and the payment Of that much would
greatly relieve the people, while the State
would have ample funds to run the gov
ernment. If the debt could be refunded
at per cent, and then such q move be
made, it would be all the moro advanta-
geous. He said that it would not hurt
the State to part with the beds for ten
millions, or even eight milliona.
One of the most prominent members
Of the Legislature, who is most intimate
with the finances Of the State, was also
queried on the subject. He seems to
think that if the scheme is practicable, 1t
would be the best thing that could be
done for the interests of the people. He
seems to think that the matter will reach
the Legislature in one form or another,
but cannot foretell what action would
follow in case it did.
It is ascertained on very good authority
that Governor Tillman since his return
to the city, has received an offer for the
refundment of the bonds, which he failed
to get while in New York, and is now
considering it. The parties making the
offer and its terms are known to certain
outside parties, but it is impossible to
give any other facts at this time.-Colun,-

A Maniac in a Pulpit

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 8.-Charlel
M. Emmons, gunsmith in the nationa
armory and monomaniac on religion
broke into Olivet Congregational Church
last night, provisioned the pulpit for 6
week, and armed with revolver and
fantastically draped and yelled in black,
held the whole congregation at bay from
q. m. until p. m.
The Police Department was summoned
to the scene, but did not dare to arrest
him, and the intruder held the pulpit ir
solitary majesty until he finally drowsed
off and was captured after short strug.
gle.
The strange occupant of the pulpit was
first discovered by the janitor, Mr.. Dick
inson, who took the weird figure to be
the old Nick himself, and was flying
from the scene with his hair on end whom
he heard the intruder say, II am Alpha
and Omega" Then he knew it was not
Beelzebub, but only Emlnons.
He started to put him out, but was re-
PEELED by the sudden production of q
revolver. The police were summoned,
and marched in boldly till they were
within fifteen feet of the pulpit, when
Emmons told them to 60, an6 they re-
treated in haste. An attempt was made
to attack him from the rear, when be
fired two shots through the floor, and
the officers retreated again.
Various expedients were DEVISED. The
firemen wanted to turn the hose on him,
and one sharpshooter offered to MAIN
him. Others proposed to smoke him out,
It was finally decided, however, to lay
regular siege to the church and starve
him out. About 2 o'clock he got 30
sleepy that he could not keep his eyes
open, and officers Haynes, Atkins, and
Mr.. Vesey seized and disarmed him.
Emmons had been crazy for at least
he created sensation by lying in her
grave and refusing to get out. He has q
mania for getting into pulpits, and was
tried for lunacy year ago, after similar
break, in which he did not, however, use
arms.
Last week lie went to Trinity church
before the services, entered the pulpit
and took his shoes off, and had to be
elected by force. He has also mania
for reading the Bible at prayer meetings,
SO that he has had to be put out several
times.
He had in the pulpit when arrested
two pistols, two night lamps, bag Of
crackers and cookies, two pounds of
gunpowder, large supply Of red fire,
rockets, and Roman candles, breech
block of rife for a candle stick, two
wooden troughs with which to shoot
rockets, bottle of alcohol, can Of kero-
sene, tin funnel, five tins of prepared
chicken and turkey, a pail Of water, and
q tin cup.
He was we'll supplied with ammuni-
ton, and, after firing FIVE shots, he care
lessly reloaded his weapon from o long
row OF cartridges in the pulpit. he was
wrapped in yellow rug taken from the
altar chairs and had his head shrouded In
black veil.
At least 1000 people stood In the streets
from 9 till 2 o'clock waiting to see him
put out.

We suppose Weaver will get some
Esotes in this County next Tuesday-not
Emany, surely. Can those who may cast
their votes for him tell what be repre-
Esants that reasonably promises any good
E1or our people? Does he favor reform
sf the iniquitons and oppressive tariff
Etaxaa1 Does he disapproye of the indis-
Ecsiminate distribution of the S143,000, ,00O
|annnally among the pension leeches Of
EthesNorth? ? Is he not in sympathy with
Esne spiriS Of the Force Bill-"black heels
Eon white necks?" Does the tyrannical
and thievish commander of Pulaski, and
This kind, deserve anything from the true
ESoutherner but polite indifference and
manly contemptf But why argue the
matter? Good Democrats don't need
any logic to get t:lem to vote for Cleve-
land. Those who are going to vote for
Weaver won't listen to reason. Their
error Is one Of the head rather than of
the heart. But they could know and do
the right If they were not blinded by
their folly. The scales will some day
fall from their eyes.

Whiskey on the Brain.

A writer in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat tells the following grim story:
81 was present at the autopsy of noted
old 'rounder' Of my town a few weeks
ago." said John A. Holiday, OF Troy, N;
Y, at the Lindell, "and was startled
and shocked at what I saw. The dead
man was about so years old, and had
been the town drunkard for forty years.
The doctors had surmised that when they
cut his head open pronounced smell OF
alcohol would issue from the skull.
thought it only only one OF those grim
sort Of Jokes the Aesculapians INDUCED
in sometimes when they are carving q
fellow man to mincemeat in the interest
of science. But SOON learned that it
was no Joke, for when the surgeons cct
of the mans skull the odor of alcohol
that filed the room was strong enough
to sicl n one. Then one of the surgeons
struck match and held it close to the
brain. Immediately blue fame On,
yeloped the entire portion Of the cerebral
organ exposed, and the quivering flesh
sized as if on a gridiron. That expert.
ment and disclosure set me to very seri-
Gus thinking about the error ofmy ways.
: am no temperance lecturer nor pro-
hibition politician but must respectfully
and firmly decline your invitation to
take something. don't want'my brain
10 float around in sea Of alcohol, as did
that of the poor old town drunkard OF
Troy. There is no telling how many
other mems brains will reveal tho game
condition if an autopsy Is held upon
them."

For Our Legislators.

have just bought two ten dollar suits
of wool clothes for my boys and stake my
pen in hand to figure out the thing to
see who got all the money.
The two suits that come to $1,000 con-
sumed Of cotton AZ cents, wool 81. IL,
making $2.G raw material produced by
the farmer. After deducting the usual
profits by our home merchants (no point
of objection here) there Is at least $l1 .46
of the S17 46 that goes to tue New England
manufacturer and jobber as tariff. This
$1l.46 was driven out Of this State by
worthless high tariff cur dogs that are
owned by Republican negroes and fed by
the Democratic white men. These dogs
drive this trade into the hands of the New
England protectionists. How this thing
works is about 30: A few years back, be-
fore the dogs and negroes got 30 thick, !
kept from ten to near two hundred head
of sheep and exchanged wool with the
tories, for jeans and, cashmere cloth ind
had these suits made at home. This gave
employment to more of our white boys
and girls in the factories; the tailor q
town cut the suit and some industrious
and needy white woman made this Cloth
ing, and took the money she got for this
work and gave it to the merchant at home
for something that she could not make
ut home.
7 can now count eight OF my near neigh
bors that used to keep from ten to thirty
head of sheep each and lad wool to either
exchange for cloth or work up at home
and fine mutton to eat at home and to
sell, that are now, like myself, haye not
one sheep to their names, in fact the bad
dogs have driven the unprotected and de-
fenceless sheep ont Of the country. have
some children that never saw sheep In
their lives, and there are thousands more
children in the State who are in the ssme
condition, for the dog nuisance is about
the same from one end Of the State to the
other.
Now, come all ye tariff reform Legisla-
tors, and let as commence and fight the
New England protectionist, with protec-
tion for South Carolina by passing law
to protect our poultry, partridges, sheep,
and improve our dogs, give more profita-
BILE employment to our poor white chill
dren in factories and to our industrious
white women. Enact law OF this charac.
ter and We. can keep at home SIT .46 OF
every $4,000 in this line and divide The

Don't Be In q Hurry to Sell.

NEW YORK, October 29.-Riordan &
Co. in their circular to-day say: "The
developments of the week have been
distinctly favorable to higher values for
cotton. The killing frost on the 26th
instant was certainly more severe and
general throughout the cotton belt than
any October frost in recent years; and
although opinions differ widely as to the
degree of damage done, those who con-
slider it triHing do so only because they
believe the crop to be already made,
nearly picked and wofully short. Every
thing that we hear from the South tends
to confirm the expectation Of short
crop, and many, who until recently have
laughed at the complaint, are now taking
more serious view OF the situation.
"The receipts continue to lag behind
those Of last year. The visible supply
has been further reduced, the amount Of
cotton that has come in sight since Sep
tember being already nearly million
bales less than during the same period of
1891. Unless there should be very
decided increase in the movement, the
present crop can hardly be much if any
over 100000 bales. Why, it may be
asked, under such circumstances does
the market halt9 II is because spinners

shortage in the yield, while speculators
are all on the long side, nobody caring
to be short Of cotton. Butevery advance
brings out sellers who want to realize
profits, and so, until there shall be fur
ther developments about the crop, the
market drsgs,
"Liverpool to-day was lower. Some
attribute this to tbs Financial Chronicles
figures Of the weeks receipts, which, on
account of Friday. the 21st inst, having
been a holiday, included eight days.
Other cables reported that the slump was
caused by an alleged estimate by Neill,
of New Orleans, of the seasons yield at
100000 bales. But telegrams from New
Orleans say that Neill denies having
made any such estimate. Whatever in
huenced Liverpool her weakness caused
many longs here to sell out.
"January sold soon after the opening
at e,le, rallied to 1928 and closed quiet at

moro confident and the trading was ut
somewhat higher prices. Until moro
shall be definitely known about the crop
prospect there may be no material ad-
vance but we cannot share the opinion
of those who think that the short crop
accounts are simply huge aggregation
Of falsehoods, and unless such is the case
it seems certain that sooner or later we
must have higher prices"
