The South Carolina Liquor Law,

mans liquor law received another
black eye to-day when Judge Bond of
the U. S. Circuit Court signed an or
der restraining the South Carolina
State Railroad Commission from en-
forcing the latest issued schedule OF
rates on liquors. Hugh L. Bond, Jr''
representing the receivers of the klch-
mond and Danville Railroad and the
liauor dealers who are testing the con-
stitutionality of the law, in his petition
saws that the commission CONSTITUTES the
South Carolina legislative act OF De-
cember 1892 as allowing them to make
arbitrary rates without permitting the
railroads q hearing thereon. Such ac-
ton would, it is claimed, be in viola
ton of the constitution of the United
States. Argument on the question OF
permanent injunction will be heard

The Eodeavors Stoned.

The twelfth annual convention ofthe
United Societies of Christian Endeavor
closed at Montreal on Saturday night
with grand meeting in the great drill
hall, which was attended by fully 10i-
600 persons. The assertion made by
Rev. S. Y. Karmarthe, of Bombay,
East India, one of the speakers at the
Christian Endeavor convention Friday
afternoon, that the Roman Catholic
worship was a new form of old Hindoo
worship, brought out a reply from La
Presse, French newspaper, declaring
the speech a deliberate insult to the
French people. On Friday night some
of the Colorado delegates were stoned
in the neighborhood of the convention
hall, one of their number having stated
in a loud voice that the mother of
Christ was an abandoned woman. A
member of the delegation who heard
the remark made q strong speech in
disavowal. Three hundred French stu
dents and quarrymen marched up to
the door of the hall bearing couple of
French flags. The police thumped the
fag-bearers' heads together and took
away the flags, whereupon their COM
panions raised a great howl. but were
driven of. The proceedings in the
hall were not interfered with, as the
delegates inside were unaware of the
presence of the rioters on the outside.
A crowd of fully thousand persons
surrounded the hall when the meeting
adjourned at 10 o'clock Saturday night,
but no collision took place.

BUTCHED His FAMILY.-The most
horrible murder and suicide that has
ever shocked the people of Wausseon,
Ohio, was committed Saturday morning
at the home of Frank Bayes, a we'll
known young farmer, living about four
miles southwest of that place. The
victims of the deed were the husband,
Frank Bayes, and his twenty-sl1-year-
old wife. Their four-year-old daughter
narrowly escaped the Ire OF the muir
cred in a horrible manner, her throat
being cut from ear to ear, her arms and
face fearfully hacked and her right leg
almost severed from the body. The
neighbors arrived in time to see the
father shoot himself. Insanity caused
by family trouble, is believed to be the
reason for the act.

Enlisted men in the navy will now
have the privilege of purchasing their
discharge. Secretary Herbert to-day
issued an order establishing rules and
regulations for the purchase of dis
charges as authorized by the late naval
appropriation bill. No'man is to be al
lowed to purchase his discharge while
in debt to the government, or until he
has served three months. The price OF
a discharge during the fourth month Of
enlistment. will be twenty-five per cent.
of the yearly pay of the applicant; dur,
ing the fifth month thirty per cent. and
SO on. increasing five per cent. per
month until the fourteenth month,
when the maximum price is reached !;
during the fifteenth month the price
will be ninety-ive per cent. of the maxi
mum price, in the sixteenth month
ninety per cent. and so on, decreasing
five per cent. per month, until the thir-
tv-fourth month, when he may apply
for discharge without payment. No
man is allowed to purchase his dis
charge second time, and those proeurr,,
inc discharge by purchase forfeit all
benefits due to continuous service or
honorable discharge. Discharge by
purchase is not an inherent right, but

THOMAS FORTUNE, a negro lawyer
in New York, in letter to the Herald
of that city, says the absorption and
assimilation of the negro in this coun-

result in the extinction of the negro
race here, and be the settlement of the
negro question in the United States.
Such a settlement might be satisfactory
to the race to which the writer referred
to belongs, but as man can not join
together what providence has put asun-
der, it will never be made.

When the commission of the crime re-
ferred to shall cease, the lynching OF

enormous increase of that crime since

other evidence of the fact that the negro

A QUEER DIVORCE CAsE.-One o
the queerest divorce cases on record
in the Supreme Court of Rhode Island,
was heard on Saturday beforeChief JUS
tice Malleson. The parties were Rufus
F. Henick, of Boston. and Lillian K.
Henick, New Hampshire girl. They
were married in 1891. After the mar
ria2e Mrs. Henick told her husband
that he ought to have mistress that
she believed in platonic love, and that
she must above all else preserve her
form, her complexion and her face, and
that her voice must not be wrecked by
matrimonial results. Henick appealed
to her in vain to abandon her notions.
He had some of the female relatives OF
the family plead with his wife, but ali
to no purpose. Mrs. Henick said t.
each one that she was firm believer il
platonic love, and that she would never
have married had she believed that u
woman must become a slave to any but
the purest of love. Henick'l witnesses
in court told the same remarkable story
and Boston medical expert said that
the unnatural views of the wife had
been enforced so rigidly that Henick's
health had been broken down and ruin
ed thereby. When he had convinced
his wife apparently that her ideas OF
pla.onic love were all foolishness she
then declared that her form and figure
would be injured and her voice ruined
for choir singing if she discarded her
views. The lawyer who appeared for
Henick and the chief justice said the
woman had imposed upon Henick in
not telling him of her strange views be-
fore marriage, and that the one single
charge that Mrs Henick was devotee
of the platonic love theory was sn0i-
cient to give any person an absolute
divorce and such decree was or
dered,

A SCANDAL AND A TRAGEDY.-4es-
terday evening George Pricketts, aged
so years, ofMount Union, w. Va, was
shot and instantly killed by Alfred
Kloss, also resident of Mount Union.
Both men were the head of families,
and the cause leading to the murder
was the alleged intimacy of Pricketts
with Kloss' wife, who is an unusually
attractive woman The shooting oc-
Cured at Lucy Furnace, just across the
line in Mifflin county. A son of Prick
etts was carousing at the furnace with
a number of boon companions, and the
elder Pricketts had gone there to in
duce him to come home. Kloss, who was
in the crowd, renewed his quarrel with
the elder Pricketts and accused him of
showing too great attention to Mrs.
Kloss. Kloss infamed with drink,
and drawing a revolver, fired three
bullets into Pricketts' left breast.
Pricketts expired almost instantly.
The murderer fed to Jacks Mountain
and has not yet been captured.
