Notable FunoraI Sermon.

JACKSON, MISS, Feb. 0.--BshOp
Charles b. Galloway, Of the Methodist
Church, yesterday pronounced an elo-
quent fu eral Grafton over the remains
of teX-CoEgrcssman EthciberL Barksdalc,
which fact, perhaps, furnished the first
case on record where the obituary of the
funeral orator had been written By the
man at whose funeral he was officiating.
In 1888, Bishop Galloway, then minis
ter in Charge OF church at Vicksburg
was reported dead, and before that report
was contradlcted, Maj. Barksdale had
written and published, with mourning
olumns, highly eloquent tribute to
the man whom he supposed to be dead,
but who yet preached his funeral grafton.

THE STATE WINS.
Judge Aldrich Decides the Fort Royal
Case In Her Favor.

BEAUFORT, S. c., Feb. 49, Tho
Railway case, over the lease Of that
line by the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company of Georgia, which has at
tractcd such keen interest IN the State,
was signed by Judge James Aldrch in
Aiken Yesterday. The orders resulting
from the decision were possibly not
wholly unexpected, and will be received
with great satisfaction by all persons
ever remotely interested in Port Royal
and its future. In both cases Judge
Aldrich decided in favor of the State and
plaintiffs, appointing j. II. Averill per-
mancnt receiver, and deciding that re.
moval OF the case to the United States
Court is not proper.
AS the decision was not received here
until a very late hour last night, it is not
vet available for verbutum quotation,
but the terms of the decision have be-
c"me known on excellent authority.
,dge Aidrch rehearsed at great
;ngth and with minute detail the his o.
y of the case and the arguments made
and the bills filed upon both sides.
Taking up the points at ISSUE seriatum.
he discusses their merits with great force,
and suhioins copious quotations from
the best authorities, both State and Ma.
tional.
In coTcludir & the review of the case,
which contains probably five thousand
words, he orders that the reccivership
Of Col. j. II. Averlll be made perma-
nent. The answer of the defendent s
overruled, as being insufficient, in each
pastcular, and the re roceiver8hip granted
formerly Is sustained in the fullest terms.
Col. Avcrill is in structed to continue
his application before the United States
Court for the possession Of the property.
The State, as plaintiff, is instructed
to deposit $500 tJ cover da nages in case
the action of the court is not liually sus-
tanned. and Col. Avcrlll will be rcquir
ed to furnish bond IN amount of &l0, 600
as guarantee of his equitable adminis-
tration OF the powers Invested in him as
the receiver Of the road.

BONden'S Predictions

COLUMBIA, S. a., Feb 23.-There is a
great deal of interest being taken by

button Of patronage, and surmises as
to what he will do about the gift Of Of
fiCers are multitudinouS. MIR. J. w.
BoWden, Of Third party fame, yester-
day gave his opinion as to Mr.. Cleve-
lands present conduct and the future
OF the politics of this country as they
will be shaped by the Presidents poll
cy. Mr.. Bowden says that it appears
very clearly to him that the President
elect IN making his appointments is
not going 10 recognize the party ma
chimes III any State in the Union, and
IL the party machine in South Carolina
expects much from it it will be pretty
badly mistaken. He thinks that Mr
Cleveland, by appointing Judge Ores
ham and l1Oke smith in his Cabinet,
has amply proven this. MIR. Bow den
predicts that Cleveland's policy VIII be
to leave behind him set of party prin-
ciples that Will 90 down into history
along side of those of Andrew Jackson
and Thomas Jefferson. lie predicts
that the administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land Will witness the greatest political
revolution the world has ever Known

lie thinks President Cleveland will

"A new party which Will draw forces
from other parties and be very broad
III its scope. If this is done, Mr.. Bow

support and that of thousands of others
who are not now his followers. He
thinks that in the next campaign there
Will be but two parties. Inc new one
to be created by President Cleveland

about as follows: Cotton seed hulls

per ton IN different parts of the South !;
cotton seed oil GO cents per gallon; cot

COLUMBIA, $. c., Feb. 22.-As was
annOun ced in the Register some weeks
ago the Union Store Company, which
has been running several stores in this
State under Alliance influences, has
determined to withdraw its business
and all the stores will be closed. Stores
have been conducted in Marlboro,
Marion, Lexington, Newberry and
lIaurenS Counties. 1t has been learned
that the stores in South Carolina have
not fallen behind like similar institu-
tiOnS in Otner parts of the country, but
on the other hand have been doing
very well. 1t appears that one of the
objects of the moneyed man of the con-
Germ was to sell as much as possible Of
binding twine. he being the president
of the National Cordage Company. He
didn't know that binding tWiHe was
not used in the South to any consider
able extent and consequently was dis
appointed about the sales made in the
South. The stores have, however, done
a good business in South Carolina and
the managers Of the company would
continue them but for the fact that
| they had determined to quit business
in the South altogether. 1t has been
said also that the credit business Of.
| fered was more than the company
thought safe, but about this no definite
information could be obtained yeSter-
day.
| The Union store Company has done
a big business in this State and offered
very liberal credit prices to it's custom
erS. That it has found it necessary to
withdraw its business from the state
is Il matter that must be deplored by
the many patrons of the stores. 1t is
understood that the company Is gener-
ally selling out TO its managers and
that they will continue the business
heretofore conducted by them as
agents. 1t is reported fact that all
the stores will be closed at once except
those in Marlboro and Marion Coun-
ties, which Will ba run some time fur
ther under the direction Of the com.

The Kansas Republican Speaker Opens
the House Doors.

TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 16.-A blood.
less but exciting battle took place be-
tween the Republicans AMI Populists
house at the entrance to the representa-
tive hall yesterday morning. Tho Pop
ulists, who have had possession Of the
hall in the afternoon, adjourned yestcr-
day until this afternoon, and as has
been the custom since the beginning OF
the session, the Republicans expected
TO hold their regular morning session
today, but last night the Populists
swore III large number of assistant
sergeants-at-arms, who were placed on
guard and the doors and entrances to
the hall were locked this morning.
No one was admitted to tho hall cXcept
ing the POpulists and members Of the
press, and they were required to show
pass and run the gauntlet OF dozen
guards. The Republicans were fully
informed of all these preparations to cX-
clude them from the hall, and last
night hundred men were sworn in as
officers OF the Republicans, and at 9
O'Clock the members Of the Republican,
house, with their officers, started from
their headquarters to the state house
The march through the long corridors
leading to the representative hall was
unimpeded.
The little column forced its way
through the line of guards stationed at
the foot OF the stairs in the west wing
and started upstairs. On the first land
ing was crowd OF PopLllst house OFF,
GERS under co nmanC. OF Adiuiant Cen

advancing Republican crowd were met
with muzzles of revolvers and Winchcs-

them to halt, but no stop was made anI
the advanced guard pushed into Tie
crowd Of Populsts. Three or four Of
them succeeded in passing the door
keeper after brief stru yylc and getting
INTO the hall, but the populists succeed
ed in closing the door and barring it.
The Republicans on the outside de-
mandcd admiItance, and when 1t was
denied them Speaker Douglas swung a

and took possession of them withou

IN THE THEATERS.

Robert Mantell presented his new
play, 1.-The Face in the Moonlight" at
the Metropolitan Opera house last night
TO very large audience. Mr.. Mantell's
admirers, to judge by the applause that
his acting evoked, are just as pleased
with this new departure as they have
always been with him in the serious
roles in which they have been in the
habit OF seeing him. The plot of the
play has been so recently printed it is
unnecessary to recount it.
Mr.. Mantell in playing the double
character makes some startling changes
of costume that constitute very strong
feature of the play. This is especially
true of the scene in the last act where
Rabat in the prison poisons himself
while awaiting the coming of Ambrose.
The body is placed on bench, and so
quickly as to be scarcely seen, double
takes Mr.. Mantell's place. he disap-
pears through slot, and appears in a
minute as Ambrose, the soldier, for
whom all are waiting.
The story is very interesting one.
and the two characters are PLAYED to
perfection by Mr.. Mantell, who in the
changes he makes from the courtly
soldier to the coarse ruffian, which are
simply marvellous, demonstrates very
thoroughly his ability.
The support is very good throughout,
and particularly may be mentioned Ii.
a. Weaver'5 impers0nation of Munier,
and Miss Charlotte Behrens' of Lucille.
As Marguerite Miss Kathleen Kerrigan
was indeed charming, and William
Slulrt as Capt. NarciSsc Millehears was
very strong. Taken all the way through
the play, while it lacks strength a.
