4 TRAIN WRECK ER's CONFESSION.
He Caused the Richmond and Danviile
Diaster Last Fall.

ATLANTA, Ga. January 3l.-A negro
teamster named Boyd has been arrested
and has confessed that he caused the
accident on the Western North Caro-
lima division of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad last September, in
which twenty persons were killed and
many others hurt.
The railroad Offered $1,000 reward
for the capture of the train wrecker.
Detective Honey went to work and
learned that Boyd had left Il package
containing 81, 800 and valuable jewelry
with a man at Statesville. With the
aid of this man Boyd was led to con-
fess his crime and the confession was
repeated before several Others. Then
Superintendent McBee was let into the
case, and caused Boyd's arrest Oh the
charge of cattle stealing, the belief
being that others were implicated.
Boyd says his motive was the rob-
berry of passengers and that while en-
gagged in rescuiug the dead bodies he
stripped them Of valuables. He de-
liberately selected Il train which he
knew would have good list Of pas
sengers departing from the North Caro-
lima resorts, people who would haye
money, ard about half an hour before
the train was due pulled the spikes of
q couple of rails leading on to the Bos-
toms bridge. He watched the crash
and in the confusion Of people rushing
to the rescue Of the victims took his
place among them.
Superintendent McBee has III MS
possession the implements with which
Boyd drew the spikes, having found
them where Boyd declared they were
hidden.

Soldier and Civilian"

Our contemporary, the Charleston
Sun, stood for Tillman and his move
meut just as long as decency would al
low, but of late there has been drop
ping Of scales as it were, and the Sun
is now showing one some of the rugged
spots of the reformer's (?) nature.
The Sun of Saturday says:
"The correspondence between Cap
tain Z. a. Darlington, of the regular
army, aud Governor Tillman, which
has so unnecessarily been given the
press, exhibits the Governor in his
smallest aspect.
Captain Garlington-who is an ap-
proved and gallant Caroliuian in the
regular service, having been wounded
in the Wounded Knee battle at which
Wallace, aoother Carolinian, was
killed .as- ,-ear-wrote the Governor a
proper and dignified application to be
commissioned as a Colonel from his
native State in the active service, in
the event of war with Chill, which, at
the date of the letter, January "a, was
believed by every one to be highly
probable.
The act Of Captain Darlington was
in every way right and proper, and ex-
hibited due and proper respect for
the civil head of the military Of the
State from which he is accredited.
The rapid development Of events,
however, pu. :. in the way of the
Governor. who is as fond of ridicul-
ing others as be is sensitive to the lash
ing of satire himself, to say smart
thing at the expense of his position and
dignity, and then give the correspon-
dence for publication. His persifage
WITH regard to the gallant captain
"snuffing the battle affair."" and "de-
string a place in the picture as a COM
mander of South Carolina troops' is
entirely uncalled for, and does not
exhibit the commauder-in-c of
South Carolina troors favoTably as
compared with the tone Of the profess
siona. soldiers letter.

ALLIANCE FINANCIERS.
Their Unique Plan for Promoting the Sub
Treasury Scheme.

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Alliance
members of the House Of Representa-
tives have had another conference, at
which all were present except Messrs.
Simpson aud Otis of Kansas and Wat
son of Georgia. \ number of Alliance
measures were discussed, and one or
two bills that are being prepared We're
read and considered, one Of which will
be introduced within a day or two.
The members og"eed fully upon their
plan of action in this Congress, and it
is certainly a most unique one. They
will introduce a flood Of bills, putting
on the free list pretty much every
thing that the farmer consumes. Their
endeavor is to urge the passage OF such
bills as will decrease the revenues and
insure deficit.
A deficit having been created, it
would be necessary in some '"ay to
meet it, and this could only be done,
the Alliance people contend, by the
issue of Treasury notes. With these
launched, the Alliance men think the
Sub-Treasnry idea would be enacted
into law.

that the big fellow had to be carried

land
We own land of plenty, flowing as
never Judea of old with milk and
honey. Where in this broad world is
there, as in the upper valley OF the
Mississippi, combination of natures
riches for the up building of mighty
empires? Under the earth's surface and
upon it, in the air over it, and the
waters coursing thrugh it, we find all
the elements of health, wealth and So
cial happiness.
Well may we love our land. In no
other age but this could its resources
have been so rapidly developed. The
genius of the Roman had not har-
messed to its service the wild forces Of
nature as man has done in the nine
teenth century; hence the Romans
achievements are not to be compared
with ours. Steam and lightning obey
our behests; remote places are brought
near; the labor Of years is finished in a
day.
Mind is sovereign: it commands and
matter becomes the willing servant.
The American people have responded
TO the inspirations of the age: indeed
they have largely created the age.
Their spirit Of intercourse, their acute
ness Of mind, their generosity of heart
built the Republic and all its parts to
the enviable lofuness among the ma
lions which rivets all eyes upon her.
Our free institutions have formed an at
mosphere in which men grow to their
fullest statues, and the sweetness and
yigor of which attract to our shores the
millions from their countries.

GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!
Veins Of Much Richness in GreenyiIle and
Spartanburg.
1Greenville News

WILLIE, S. c., Feb. 2.-For some time
a rumor concerning certain important
discoveries of gold in Greenville and
Spartanburg Counties has been whis-
pered about quietly. When the Wolfe
and Tiger mining company was organ
lied recently in Spartanburg it was sug-
gested that that incident would be soon
followed by important developments.
Such is the case. This company,
which is composed Of L. w. Jordan, Of
Seneca, D. A. P. Jordan, of Greenwood,
and the Messrs. Sullivan, Of Anderson,
have discovered veins ofore here which
surpass the widest dreams of gold
seekers. They have spent many thous-
and dollars in developing the property,
and before the schemes they have al
ready inaugurated nave been perfected
they will invest many thousand more.
So far they have traced and located by
sinking shafts to the water level twelve
veins of ore which assay in New York
as high as 1887 per ton. One Of these
veins have been traced fully Two miles,
the ore yielding handsome results
throughout. The company has built
and is now operating an improved ten
stamp mill; aud only lacks water before
others are to be set IN position.
George Ladshaw, of Spartanburg, is
now on the ground making the neces-
sary surveys to bring large stream of
water to the summit of a hill which
commands the whole gold belt, and in
a few days a large force of workmen
will be engaged in constructing the re-
quired canal. The gold yielding belt
extends for about four or five miles at
least, that is as far as it has been traced
at present In this district, prospectors
have located and staked off some three
hundred acres of gravel which pans
truly enormous quantities of gold. The
company's operations are being pushed
with great rapidity, and there will
shortly be some startling developments
il this section.

Perpetual Motion Secured.
| From the Industrial World. !

\ moter is running at the Patent
Office in Washington which seems to
fulfill the conditions of perpetual mo-
ton. Perpetual motion is said to exist
in a machine that when once started
will continue until worn out This
machine operates by the power given
out in different expansion of metals
under varying conditions, and is so
small and carefully constructed that, if
there was absolutely no change in tenn
perature Of the room it would run when
once started thirty-eight days before
stopping. If it were possible to put it
in some place for this length of time, as
the center Of the earth, where the tenn
perature would constant, it would
stop, so it does not fulfill the condition
of perpetual motion; but that cannot
be done where the machine now is, so
it has run for great many years with
out stopping, and probably will con-
tinue to run until it wears out.

One other point I wish to notice, be-
cause the subject matter has never
been treated before in this State except
by nondescript sheet in Charleston,
nearly ten years dead. In December,
1881, when I was the Washington
correspondents Of TheNews and Courier,
Smalls, the negro congressman, was
offended by certain article had
written for that paper He was man
enough to resent i to my face, and
used language to me in the street one
night which compelled me to strike
him several times. He did not strike
me, and left before the arrival of the
police. was not especially proud of
the affray and made no mention of it
in my correspondence, although north
ern journals stated the facts; nor did I
care to take notice of any account which
Smalls or his friends might choose to
give Of it.
I have nothing to say to or of r. F.
Perry. He manifestly believes that l
insulted him by my reference to his
habitual untruthfulness He was in
Columbia when the last article he OBJ
jects to was published in the State, Of
which journal be knows me to be the
responsible editor. He chose to resent
the insult by waiting until be got back
to Greenviile and abusing me and my
people in an obscure newspaper over an
initial. He has chosen his own position
and fixed his own status, and 1 will
leave him in them undisturbed, except
to correct, as they appear, any further
falsehoods be may see fit to utter or
print. \. 6. GONZALES.
