clined to divulge anything about their
plans beyond what had been pub

section Of the chain by which the en-
CINE at Newberry had been fastened to

ative mood yesterday afternoon. He
admitted that ne was disappointed in

what to do about the $500.
Sheriff Gaines, Of Anderson, and
Sheriff Tyler, Of Aiken, being at home
on account Of illness, Sheriff Riser, of
Newberry, is the only one left in the
city. He said yesterday that he would
not purge himself and does not yet
know whether he will pay the fine.
He is waiting on developments.
THE ADMINISTRATION sTUMPaD.
Especial to News and Courier
COLUMBIA, February 20.-The State
officials are to-day working hard
in conference to evolve some scheme
to carry the railroad contempt
fight into the United States Supreme
Court. Attorney General Townsend,
when asked about it, said that the
matter would surely be carried to the
higher court, but he stated that he
could not yet say what shape it would
take or what means will be employed
to take it there. AS matter of fact the
State has been unable, so far, to decide
upon its course of action.
The conference to-day was attended
by the Governor, the officials Of the
Attorney Generals office, Judge Sam
uel w. Melton and w. A. Clark, Esq.
It is stated on good authority that
Judge Melton has been employed as
associate counsel in the case. The
Governor has absolutely nothing to say
about the case. 1t is understood that
ne has been advised by nearly ali his
ardent lieutenauts to leave we'll enough
alone. But be has doubtless gotten
Senator Irby's views and will work
them out in connection with his own.
A leading railroad attorney who ar
rived in the city to-day says that the
decision of Judge Golf knocked the
pins completely from under the State,
and it is we'll nigh impossible for the
State to make any move save by an
appeal He says he really cannot see
how it can be carried to the higher
court, az the best thing for the State
to do as he sees it is to have the origi-
nal case pushed to hearing on its
merits.
