Special to STATE CHRONICLE.
FLAT Rock, April 18.-A horrible
murder was committed here this even
ing at $50. j. P. Jones, promi-
nent young man, shot and killed
Mike L. Brookshire, we'll
known and prominent citizen. The
shooting occurred in the postofice.
Brookshire came in and transacted
some business with the postmaster and
was walking out when Jones came up
and fired two shots at him, one enter
ing breast near heart, the other going
into the temple. killing him in
stantly. The trouble is supposed
to have originated from Brook
shire having been too intimate
with Jones wife several months ago.
Brookshire was tried at the last term
of court charged with raping Jones
wife, but was cleared. Bad blood has
existed between the two men since.
The parties are well-known. Young
Jones is Brookshire's nephew.

CONFEDERATE RONDS.
HE u. :. Supreme Court Renders a
decision in Case of Sage vs..
LOuisiaua


BY Telegraph to the State Chronicle
WASHINGTON, April lS.-A case
involving the liability of State to
take up Confederate bonds issued by
1t during the war was decided by the
United States Supreme court to-day.
The case was that of B. F. Sage,
plaintiff in error, vs.. Board of Litiga-
tion of the State of Louisiana. Sage
brought suit against the board to
compel it to refund certain bonds of
the State held by him and to
exchange them for its consolidated
bonds issued under legislative enact
ment in 1874. The Supreme court
decides that the case does not present
any Federal question. The only ques-
ton before the lower court, and which
was decided negatively was whether
the bonds were sold by the Governor
of the State within the authority
vested in him by the law under
which they were issued by being
exchanged for sugar and were there
fore valid obligations of the State
which could be founded under it's
statute. The court says there is in the
consideration and determination of
this question no resort to any federal
law; it is purely a question of the con-
struction of State statute of
power, which was conferred by
it upon her agents. The Governor.
acting in their disposal, was limited by
the language of the statute. He could,
says the court, sell the bonds or ex-
change them for treasury notes, State
or Confederate, but he could not dis
pose of them in any other way. The
court dismissed the writ of error. The
decision was rendered by Justice Field.
The Flood Crisis Over in Manitoba.
By Telegraph to the State Chronicle
WINNIPEG, Man, April lS.-The
flood crisis here seems to have passed
Saturday night and yesterday morning
the water kept rising and extinguished
the furnace of the Northwest electric
light company's power house, throwing
the city in partial darkness. Only
yesterday morning the ice commenced
to move below the city, and in order
to relieve the pressure on the Louise
bridge, the Canadian Pacific railway
used dynamite freely. This started
the ice to moving in front of
the city and for six hours it
poured past in great volumes,
sweeping everything before it.
Boat t-houses were crushed to match
wood, telegraph poles were snapped
off like pipestems, switch boxes were
torn away and portions of the piers of
Broadway bridge were swept down
stream. The breakwaters above the
bridge did good work in smashing the
immense ice foes, thus minimizing the
pressure on the piers. Unless the ice
jams farther down the stream, it is
probable that the worst has been seen.
Last night the Northern Pacific track
along the river front were rapidly be.
coming visible again.

TRIED TO GET $4,000.
d crate Attempt to Rob a
Wagon Train.

EAGLE PASS, Tex. March 11.-Word
has just reached Eagle Pass of an at
tempted robbery and the killing of one
of the would-be robbers near Durango.
c. M. Britain, of the Las Vagas
mines, left Durango City on the night of
Feb. 20 for the mines some twenty miles
away. He had with him $40, 0,000in Mex
lean silver in safe in his wagon. This
fact became known to six desperate
characters and they, proceeding a few
miles out on the road to Las Vagas be
fore daylight, lay in ambush ior Britain.
Brittain's party consisted of four per
sons heavily armed, and when the am
bushed bandits saw the teams they at
once charged upon them. using pistols
and Winchesters freely. The Others,
howe made a vigorous resistance,
while ,nrrying into Constantia, and
though one of their number, Antonio
Costana was killed, the Others with the
treasure made safe entry into Con-
stantia.
The robbers finding pursuit useless and
dangerous turned toward Durango, and
have not been caught.

STATE POLITICS.

1t has been alleged that Capt. Alexan
der had no desire to run for governor.
He has good place, with promotion
ahead, and it is whispered that he may
succeed Ransom as senator. 1t is alleged
that Harry Skinner aspires to be the
nominee for the lieutenant governor.
Captain Alexander, speaking from au-
thority, says that the New York Sun in
terview about German entirely misrep-
resented Senator Vance. Collins also
learned that Ransom is dead set for
Cleveland and against Hill, while Vance
i, for Hill. He talked with twenty or
more congressman and all were for Hill.
He says that in Washington it is not
considered that anybody is in the race
except Hill.
While Col. Polk was in Raleigh he told
several persons that his third party did
not wish to interfere in state politics in
the south, and would not antagonize
the democratic administration of the
state affairs; in other words would not
have state tickets. But he said it woulc
have an electoral ticket in each stat,
and would concentrate all it's power OF
electing it. He wants to elect presi
dent; that is it. But how can he pre-
vent the third party people from putting
state tickets in the field?
There has been SOME "e-y sharp tall
in some of the papers regarding Char
man E. c. Smith and his alleged "deliv
cry" of the democratic vote of Mort
Carolina to David B. Hill. Mr.. Smit
, was asked what were the facts in tn
case. He replied: "You can say tina

it appears to me that Hill is the stronge

yet the people will have to determin

DEAD IN A MINE SHAFT

BRUSSELS, March 11.-An accident oc-
Cured today in colliery near Charleroi
which, it is feared, will result IN great
loss of life.
Three hundred miners were employed
in coal pit when there was a terrific
explosion of fire damp. The pit mouth
was rendered unavailable, and up to the
present the tate Of the imprisoned work
men is unknown.
Efforts are being made to rescue any
of the men who may have survived the
explosion.
The explosion waa at Andertius col
liery and tremendous excitement pre-
vailed in the vicinity Of the pit. Men,
women and children have assembled in
an enormous crowd and are wild with
fear, for it is thought that when en-
trance is made to the colliery the loss OF
life will be found to be appalling.
OF three hundred men at work only
three have thus far arrived at the mouth
Of the pit in safety. The effect OF the ex-
ploson was terrific. The cage and ven
tilator were shattered. The destruction
of the ventilator adds an element OF
great danger to the situation. The men,
if any survived the shock of the explo-
sion, are apt to meet their death from
choke-damp as, with the destruction OF
the ventilator, is impossible to rid the
mine of gases.
A large number of miners are married
and their families are at the pit mouth
frantic with grief. d. lie worst is feared
and the mine officers and gendar mes
have the greatest difficulty in preserving
space sufficient for the rescuing party
that has been organized. Volunteers
are plenty and almost super-human
efforts are being made to clear the shaft

what of surprise. 1t was stated shortly
after the execution of four of the anarch-
list leaders who were garroted i'll the plaza
fronting the Netes Jail, that none OF
the remaining anarchists would be ex'
ecuted, but it was thought that num-
ber of them would be sentenced to im
prisonment. Comment is made upor

said that the anarchists have tared bet

been tried in the criminal court.

pRny Out ON a strike.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 11.-The strike
of the employees in Pennsylvania railroad
company's shops here which began three
weeks ago now seems likely to affect the
entire system. Several carloads of
men, brought here from the east
since the time Of the strike, were per
suaded not to 60 to work until vester-
day. The company succeeded in getting
into the shops thirteen men brought
from Philadelphia. The executive board
of the machinist's union is in session and
is thought probable that strike on
the entire system against piece work will
be ordered.
