Tolbert In the Tolls.

N1NETY-SIX, Sept. 4.-Mr. A. McNee
Turner was appointed postmaster at this
place early in June. His blank bono
was forwarded in due time, which was
filled out by Mr.. Turner and returned tC
Washington, but never reached the de-
partment. Soon thereafter, duplicate
bond was forwarded, but never reached
Mr.. Turner; nor could Mr.. Turner gel
anyletters from Washington except un-
der cover.
On August 10 third bond was regis.
tered to Mr.. Turner, which he received
on the 2Sth.
To-day Postofice Inspector Fred D.
Peer arrived here. Before reaching
Ninety-Six he placed two decoy. letters
in the mail pouch, directed to Mr.. Tur-
ner. After Turner had gotten his mail
from the postoffice and failed to get the
two letters, he was sent by the inspector
to inquire for the letters, but j. w. Toll
bert, the postmaster, said that there was
no more mail for him.
Inspector Peer then went to the post
Office and demanded the letters, which
the postmaster produced from under
some rubbish. Mr.. Peer also found sew
eral other letters addressed to other par
ties which had been withheld. Tolbert
was placed under arrest, and will be sent
to Spartanburg tomorrow for hearing
before United States Commissioner CAL
vert. Tolbert's books are in quite tan
gle, but it cannot be ascertained tonight
what the shortage will be.

Here's O Hero.

Albany, GA, Sept. 1.-The Cannon
Ball train which left Montgomery for AL
bany last night met with an accident
which came near proving disastrous.
The train was No. II, in charge Of Con-
ductor Wightman, with Engineer John T.
Taylor and Fireman Ed ScoYill on the en-
gine.
Just this side Of Georgetown is Mercer's
creek, which Is spanned by trestle for
ty-five feet high. During the night por-
ton of this trestle was undermined and
washed away, fact which was not known
until Engineer Taylor discovered 1t when
only q short distance from the last span.
He realized the great danger instantly and
telling his fireman to jump for his life,
applied his air brakes and brought the
balance of the train to standstill lust
as he and his engine went through the
hole and fell f0rty-tive feet to the creek
below.
1t was terrible leap that Fireman
Scovill made, rolling and tumbling down
the EN- bankment, but that was nothing
compared with the fall of the brave en-
gineer, who stuck to his engine in the
face of death and saved many lives by
his heroic action and best of all he was
rescued two hours later without serious
injury. Fireman Scovill was not hurt
either and assisted in cutting the
debris away and in releasing his brave
chief.
The trestle through which Engineer
Talyor and his engine went Is said to
have been in bad condition for quite q
long time. When the passengers learned
what narrow escape they had made
they were Mortified and devoutly thank
ful at one and the same time and lavished
unstinted praise upon the man whose
bravery had saved their lives. The train,
less the wrecked engine, reached this
city to-day about IL o'clock having been
taken around by Coluinbus.-Atlamta

: Here Is the Way Out.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 4.-Secretary
Carlisle this morning declined to either
affirm or deny the story widely publish
ed that the administration is iavorably
considering q plan to abolish national
banks and substitute State banks in their
stead under government supervision. He
said his time would be almost wholly oc-
cupied if he undertook to pass on the
various articles appearing in the newspa-
pers as to what the administration was
considering or was going to consider.
The only affirmative fact that can be as
certained at the treasury department was
that Secretary Carlisle and congressman
Hall and Warner did have q talk by ap-
pointment with Secretary Carlisle at the
treasury on Saturday. The statement
that the President went secretly to the
treasury department and was party at
the conference is, of course, not true.
Chairmand Springer, of the banking and
currency committee, called on Secretary
Carlisle this morning presumably in
connection with the former conference,
the subject matter OF which would natu
rally have to come before his committee.
A cabinet officer is authority for the
statement that the administration at this
time is committed to no currency meas
ure to be presented to congress. 1t is
interested only in the passage of the re-
peal bill before the Senate. A general
measure to carry out the democratic
platform as to the currency relief will be
considered later.

Charleston Herself Again.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 4.-Charleston
wishes to announce to the world that she
is ready for business again. A sufficient
number of wharves have been repaired TO
accommodate all ships in port, and all the
railroads are running trains on regular
schedules. Telegraphic communication
has been restored to all parts of the coun.
try the electric lightning and telephone
service are working without break, and
the streets have heen cleared ofall wreckage
of the storm. The city health officers say
that the comm unity is remarkably free
from sickness, and The streets and e1chan-
ges have assumed their normal appear
ance Everybody is at work. There are
40 unemployed people here except those
who will not work. Merchants speak
cheerfully of the situation and prospects,
and the recovery from the paral! sis of the
storm has been as quick and thorough as
the destruction.
Labor day was spent here in hard work.
A committee was appointed for relieving
the storm sufferers on the islands, and are
pushing work with splendid results. Dis
patches to-day from Beaufort announce
the arrival of the first train OF provisions,
Charleston's generosity. The committee
have another train load of provisions for
shipment tomorrow. aud to-day car load
of clothing and bedding was contributed
by the people Of Charleston. There will
be other carloads in a day or two for ship
ment.
Everybody in Charleston has gone to
work in earnest. The subscriptions to-
night of money, provisions and clothing
aggregate about 1000, and the can vassiug
is still going on. To-day Mayor Ficken
received an offer Of carload of clothing
from the mayor of Kansas City. Other Of
fers of aid from distant places and from
points in this State have been received,
and all been accepted and yet what has
como and what is on the way is only q

to ten thousand people without anything
to eat or wear. The destitution is absolute

Depleted Again.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-The Uni
ted States treasury is depleted. But little
over tue gold reserve remains. Funds
must, therefore, be raised at once.
President Cleveland and Secretary Car.
Isle had a conference yesterday aDd
agreed that of all the plans proposed the
best was to coin the seniorage of silver
now in the treasury. That amounts to
$50, 100000. Mr.. Carlisle talked with the
leaders of both houses Of congress about
the matter to-day and found them all in
favor Of the plan.
Whether or not bill providing for this
will be adopted at once or delayed until
after the passage of the repeal bill by the
Senate has not been decided. Senator
German is inclined to the opinion that it
had best be delayed until after the pas
sage of the repeal bill. Secretary Car
Isle and several Senators whe rank
among the leaders think such action
would facilitate the passage of the repeal
bill, it being just what the silver men are
crying for.
The President has been urged to send a
special message to congress urging the
immediate passage of such bill In order
to provide for the deficiency in the treasu-
ry.
whether the ProS1QenC SonQS Sp peclal
message or not, the plan has been agreed
upon and bill providing for the imme-
diate issue Of $50, 100000 of silver certiti-
Gates and the coinage Of the $52, 600, 900 of
bullion to be held in the treasury for the
redemption of these notes will probably
be adopted within less than two weeks.
Everybody in both houses will favor
this bill. There will probably not be
score of votes against 1t. This Is cer-
tainly further recognition of silver as a
money metal.-SpeciaI atlanta ConStitM-

Curi0sities Of Insurance.

The announcement that various citi-
zens in Charleston hold cyclone insurance
policies to the amount of Sl,000,OOO calls
attention to the recent growth of new and
strange forms of insurance.
In these days we not only insure
against death and fire, but we have liYe
stock insurance and plate glass insur-
ance. We insure against cyclones, fooGs,
accidents and burglars, and other evils
and it is now suggested thet company
be organized in which parents may in
sure college education for their child
rem. The scheme is for the parent to
pay the company certain sum, begin
ming with the third year of the child's
age, the company guaranteeing to pay the
child 3400 annually from his eighteenth
year.
The history of accident insurance is
full of queer Incidents. A New Jersey
man got up in the night to close the win
dow and while walking across the room
struck his shin against chair, Inf1am-
nation set in and the mans leg had to
be amputated. The company held that
the man was negligent as he had failed
to strike light before crossing the room,
but the court decided otherwise and the
policy had to be paid. Our courts are
very liberal in their construction Of the
word 'accident." In England it is diff
ferent. An English court held that man
who was killed by bull while crossing
q field had not shown reasonable caution,
and his death was not due to an accident
from an insurance point of view. A sim
liar decision was made in the case of a
man who swallowed corrosive subliinate
by mistake in the dark.
Men who take out accident policies as
safeguard against their hazardous occu.
pations meet with many surprises. A
steamboat pilot took out a policy as he
was afraid of being blown up or drowned.
He died from spider bite. A gripman
on cable road thought his occupation
dangerous and took out an accident poll
cy. A cookie burr in glass of water
killed him.
The insurance field is rapidly widen
ing, and the time is near at hand when
men will be able to insure against nearly
all Of the disastrous and unpleasant
things in this life.

AN authority on bees says that the
estimated queen trade of 1892 was not less
than 10000 queens. The estimate is upon
queens raised in the United States alone.
AS the profit of the apiary depends large
ly upon the quality of the queens used,
queen rsisers should try and maintain d
high standard for the queens placed upon
the market. Poor ones are dear at any
price. Never crowd the capacity of the

The Proud Palmetto Tree.

WASHINGTON, August 30.-The Com
missioner of Patents rendered decision
to-day in the matter of the appeal to him
of the State Of South Carolina from the
refusal of the examiner to register q
trademark applied for in the name OF the
State, consisting of the word "Palmetto"
to be printed on its liquor labels, togeth-
or with the arms of the State and the
name of the liquor. It was stated to be
the intention Of the State officers Of
South Carolins to enter markets outside
of the State and outside Of the Union ss
vendor of liquors for profit, and that
the authorities had sold case OF
its liquors bearing the trademark
in Canada. It was claimed by the ap-
pellant that the State possessed the full
rights of q trading corporation, and that it
might undertake business of this char
acter to be conducted outside as we'll as
within the State limits, and that authori-
ty for this was found in the provisions
offs recent liquor legislation. The ex-
aminer held otherwise, and therefore re-
fnsed registration.
The commissioner, after reviewing the
monopolies enjoyed by France and Bel
can union, having all the powers Of an
those surrendered to the Federal gov
ernment, has the inherit right as a
State to engage in trade, domestic or
foreign but the commissioner also holds
that lawful trade in liquors outside the
State must be established in some eff
fectual manner before the State can be-
come the owner Of a trademark, which
would be entitled to registration in its
name in the Patent Office under the law
of 1881. He construes the South Caro-
lima law as q measure for the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic in South Caro-
lima by private individuals, and to SUBJ
stitute therefor its complete control by
the State, through local public dis
pensers; and holds that only by
strained construction could any phra-
ses in the act be held to look to tho
establishment OF an outside traffic Of
any kind, excepting in the purchase of
the liquors to be dispensed; that there
was nothing in the general or special
objects of the Statute to show that the
State intended to descend to the level
of a trading corporation outside its own
limits.
The commissioner closes his decision
by saying: 1T is considered that the
State of South Carolina, notwithstapdi
the acts of its Governor and State hoard
of control, has no authorized trade in
liquors outside Its own limits; IS not the
owner Of any trademark; has not, at this
time, the right to use the trademark
sought to be registered; and, therefore,
the application is denied"

The general expectation Of an era of

Representative Fitch, of New York
"The letters and kilograms | receive in

law will be repealed soon: and I think
things are ready to boom up again as
soon as the law is repealed" Reprssen-
tative Walker, OF Massachusetts, said :

= The London Times, in the course of
long leader on the dismal agricultural
prospects of Great Britain, says that for
eign competition depresses the price of
cattle and corn. The imports of the ami
mails and meats, it says, will swamp the
markets this year. Great Britain will be
more than ever dependent on foreign
supplies and will require at least % s.0O0,-
O00 quarters of wheat from abroad.
France, it adds, must import more than
twice as much as she usually does. AS to
Germany, that country has already begun
to draw on the American market for sup
plies. When nations thus bid against
each other, the article says, there Is a
fair chance that prices are bound to ad-
vance.
