A Human Holocaust.

RICHMOND, VA, March 16.-A special
to the Times from Charlotte, N. c., says:
D. F. Dixon, of this city, has just receiv-
ed word of the fatal burning Of the wife
and two children of his son, Thomas
Dixon, of Rutherfordton, N. C.
The fire occurred last night about 8
o'clock. Mrs Dixon was alone, her hrs-
band being at Shelby. After she had got
ten ready with her little ones to retire
and while sitting by the table with her
Youngest child in her arms the child ac-
cidentally turned over lamp, which ex-
ploded and spread its fiery spray over
the mother and two children. Mrs. Dix
on might have saved herself but fo1 her
efforts for her two children. She lived
until o'clock, few minutes after her
husband reached her, but was never con-
scious after she was first reached by her
rescuers. Dixon is travelling salesman
for Cottrell, Watkins G Co., of Richmond,
and is we'll known all over North and
South Carolina. The house and contents
were burned.
Another account of Che fatal fire at
Rutherfordton is to the effect that
Mrs. Dixon had left the room in which
her children were, and in her absence
the three year-old child upset the lamp.
The child's screams brought the Mother
back. A colored man named Alex. Nc
Entire, who saw the flames and came to
the rescue, bore Mrs. Dixon from the
burning building, at the same time push
ing before him third child whose life
was thus saved. Mrs. Dixon died from
her injuries this morning. Some years
ago Dixon lost a former wife and two chill
dren in one day by disease.

She Gives Black Milk.

CH1LLIcoTHE, OHIO, March 9.-Robert
Hansborough OF this city is tho owner Of
the "eighth wonder of the world" a cow
that gives coal-black milk. The cow is
mixture of Jersey and Durham, and was
raised on the Hansborough farm, as was
also her mother and many sisters, none of
whom exhibited any popularity in the
color OF their milk. Mollie, as this phe-
nomenal creature is called, has
raised five or six calves, all of which
have lived and grown fat on that black
milk.
The milk produces a fair amount Of
cream. This cream is trifle lighter in
color than the milk itself, and, when
churned, makes kind Of butter that re-
selnbles thick mixture Of coal tar. Par
adoXical as it may seem this butter is as
palatable as though OF golden yellow,
and it is said to he relished by the whole
Hansborough family.
At first, when the peculiar color of
Mollie's milk was discovered by the per-
son to whom was allotted the task Of
"breaking the cow in," the family was
afraid to use it in any way. When they
saw that the calf was waxing fat on the
LIQUID tar the younger mem bers of the
family overcame their prejudices and
within few days the milk was being
used just the same as il it had been of the
regular color.
Chemists of New York, Washington
and Richmond have analyzed both the
milk and the butter, but declare that they
can detect nothing that in any way ac-
counts for its color.

To Grow Egyptian Cotton Here.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 15.-Tho
Egyptian cotton seed purchased by Sec
retary Rusk through the United States
consul general at Cairo, Egypt, has been
received at the department Of agriculture.
The purpose of this importation OF seed
is, as set forth in Rusk's last report as
secretary of agriculture, to undertake
with the cooperation of export stations
in the cotton States, experiments with O
view to producing cotton of a home
growth which may serve as an efficient
Substitute for Egyptian cotton, of which
during the last fiscal year, more than
three million dollars " orth was imported
into this country, an increase Of Is per
cent. over last year and of considerably
more than 100 per cent. over the year
ending in 1890. The cotton seed received
at the department consists of two of the
best Egyptian varieties, "Afiti" and
"Bamias." The distribution Will be
made to experiment stationsi in the cotton
States, and also through Senator's for
those States to planters whom they. may
recommend as persons we'll qualified and
willing to give Egyptian seed careful
trial. A report on the conditions OF sol!
and climate and methods Of cultivation Of
Egyption cotton is being prepared for th Q
depart nent under direction OF our consu
general In Egypt.

Welded In Death.

PASS CHRISTIAN, MISS, March 16.-A
mnst startling discovery was made here
to-day Of the bodies of Miss Julia Nunne-
macher, daughter of Herman Nunne-
macher, a prominent merchant of Mil
waukee, and William q. Miller, also OF
Milwaukee, both of whom had been shot
through the head.
Miss Nunnemacher has been spending
the winter here with her parents, and
last week Miller, to whom she was en-
gagged, arrived here. Her parents oppos-
ed tho match, and on Friday, after lun-
cheon, she left the house, and as night
came on, and she did not appear, and
Miller had also disappeared, it was sup
posed that they had gone off to be mar
ried. On Sunday the parents left, hoping
to find their daughter in New Orleans.
This afternoon young boy found the
bodies in pine thicket oD the north side
of the railroad, about 200 yards from the
depot. From the position in which they
were lying the supposition is that the
young man must have first shot his COM
panion through the left temple and then
shot himself behind the right ear, and
death in both instances must have result
ed instantly.
The affair was evidently premeditated,
as Mr.. Miller, had borrowed pistol
from one of the citizens on that morning.
The deadly weapon was found by his
side, where it had fallen after he had fired
the fatal shot.

Upon the basis of consumption of cot
ton, says the Columbia State, South Caro-
lima now stands fourth on the list Of cot.
tor manufacturing States, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island being
the three States ahead Of us, and in the
order named. If this State maintains her
ratio of increase in this industrial branch,
which has marked her progress for the
past Eve years, she will within a half
decade, surpass Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. South Carolina stands first
among the Southern States as to cotton
manufacturing, with Georgia second and
North Carolina a close third. The utili-
zation, Of Columbia's developed water
power will advance the States manufac-
turing rank still higher. The mills Of
South Carolina, In proportion to the
capital employed, consume more cotton
than those of any other State in the Union.

CT. veland Will 20 Slowly.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 17.-By
invitation of President Cleveland, Sena-
tor Butler called on him ut 2:30 to-day and
discussed with him the situation in South
Carolina. The interview lasted an hour,
and the Senator seemed entirely satisfied
with its results.
I am not at liberty to state t, ramii-
cations Of the discussion, but can say that
the Senator posted the President fully as
to the character Of tho pending issues in
South Carolina and satisfied him that they
were more than personal ones-involv-
ing, indeed, the preservation Of the
Democracy or the surrender of tho State
to third party influence. Senator Butler
made plain to him the need of careful
consideration Of the entire case before
taking action, and suggested that no ap-
pointments to State offices be made for
the present. This agreed entirely with
the Presidents views, and he promised
not to act hastily. In my opinion, none
of the leading South Carolina appoint
and probably they will not be made until
the terms of the incumbents expire.
The President, as telegraphed yester-
day, seemed impressed with the number
Of endorsements Col. Earle had received,
and indicated disposition to give that
one office to his enemies in the State, but
his suspension OF action will give time
for further examination of public SEN
timent and if the Conservatives will
unite on one good man and give him all
the endorsement they can give, he is
likely to win in the end. With the oppo-
sitien Col. Earle will encounter, ! think
it very unlikely that he would be con-
frmed, if nominated.
Our people in South Carolina have too
many good friends in the Senate to fear
for their interests there, and it is regarded
as certain that Senator Irbys objections
cannot defeat any good mans confirma-
ton.
Governor Tillman has sent black list
to President Cleveland, giving the names
of four men who, he declares. are unfit
for appointments to any Office. Ben
Perry's name, like Ben Adhem's, leads
all the rest. I don't know whether Cal
Caughman, whose character be last year
declared was without a stain, is also
black klisted, but it seems probable.
Folks at home may as we'll make up
their minds that there will be no domes-
tic appointments of consequence during
March; possibly, also, there may be no
foreign appointments from the State for
while. The Presidents desire is to move
slowly and surely.
am able to say that President Cleve-
land, like practically all the representa-
tives of conservatism here, faYors the
appointment of young and active men to
Office in South Carolina, and I don't think
that there will be any change in his views
upon this point. When such men are
honored by their party, the biggest guns
OF fTillmanism will be spiked.
There is not the least doubt that the
President is heartily In sympathy with
the men who have stood for pure Demo-
cracy in South Cr-olina, and that he will
all he can to strengthen their hands
for ehe .tive work in the common cause.
Special to Columbia State.
