A STRANGE OVERSIGHT.

We are frequently in receipt of letters
from delighted subscribers to the Tribune
in which they tell of the great pleasure
that they derive from reading of the
many curious occurrences which are re-
corded in its columns. We must thank
our correspondents for their kindness, but
we can claim but small credit for the
accounts of diverting public happenings
which are from time to time printed, a
close watch of our valued exchanges and
faithful report of the more unusual
incidents told of therein being all for
which we may rightfully feel the least
we are able this morning to give a short
account of one of the strangest occurren-
ces which, perhaps, we have recorded for
many long months.
In Hartford, Conn.,, there was played
yesterday a match game of football be-
tween the students of the Bancroft I'M
versity of that city, and those of Wash
ington college, an Institution of learning
which the reader will remember is situa-
ted in New Hampshire. 1t was a holly
contested game, and each eleven was in
the pink of condition. They appeared
on the grounds promptly at 3 o'clock.
The word being given they rushed at
each other savagely, the university men
gaining the first advantage, Bradford, a
college man, being carried away in a
Red Cross ambulance with his right leg
broken in three places. He showed
himself a fine player, and while being
placed in the ambulance kicked out
viciously with his left foot, and inflicted
a painful scalp-wound on a university
man. The advantage of the university
was but momentary, however, as the
college men, stung by the cheers of
their opponents, made magnificent
rally, and within three minutes it was
necessary for the sanitary corps to carry
away two university men, Endicott,
left-tackle, with fractured skull, and

take only about half of the railroad
mileage. Abbeville never built roads for
Greenwood's benefit. They never car

Greenwood are rival towns and they

The first mention of the new county
was made by farmers living In Edge
field County and doing business in
Greenwood. Notice of this matter
came out IN the county newspapers
week after the project was started.
MIR. Suddath, of Edgefield, did not
think the new county would offer any
convenience to the people of Edgefeld
who we're to be taken IN to Greenwood
There are said to be 1850 square miles
in the county. Mr. Yeldell made him
admit that there were over 900 miles
lett in the old county. Mr.. Suddath
then went on to say that he favored
small counties and constitutional
county. Let US get an omnibus oil
and get all of the new counties at one
time. In Edgetield County such
scheme Is not wanted. have petitions
to that fact. If anybody wants o. de-
serves any favor 1t Is the country peo
ple of the State and they are not asking
for any new counties.
Mr. Foster, of Spartanbnrg, said that
he favored new counties. They add tc
the wealth of the State. North Caro-
lima is getting ahead Of us in that line
Asa matter Of State policy it behooves
us to have new counties. Talk about

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec, Dec. 13.-In
October, 1891, when Z. p. Gaillard, who
had be en- treasurer of Sumter County,
went to have a settlement with the
Comptroller General he was found to
be defaulter for a little over $500,
which he could not account for. Mr..
James Norton, clerk Of the Comptrol-
ler General, who made the settlement
was satisfied at the time that the de-
falcation was due to no criminal act on
the part of Mr.. Gaillard, but was due
to carelessness or accident. MIR. Gail

months made the shortage good. Since
that time he has been industrlously at

Reads Like Fiction.

COLUMBIA S. c.. Dec. BY Yesterday
The State published part Of Q romantic
story Of the turning up st this late day
of a long lost husband, the wife of
whom, living in this city at present
had married again, believing him dead.
1t was impossible at that time to give
any Of the details. Yesterday after
noon, however, representative OF The
State called upon the lady In the case
who is now Mrs. Fletcher Wilson, and
after she had been told that the correct
story was wanted from herself for pub.
lication she willingly narrated the facts.
The lady is a daughter Of Mr.. G. Al.
Swygert who attends to the gates at
the union depot. She stated that she
married W: F. Kramer, good many
years ago. He was always q worthless
kind of a man, leading rather disolute
life and Improperly supporting hersef
and his two sons. Nine years ago, while
they were living In Atlanta she says
he left home, deserting her and her
children and leaving them In destitute
circumstances. AS soon as she could
raise the money she came here TO father
and his since battle for a living, trying
to educate her two sons. One OF these
SONS was a we'll know boy preacher OF
this city who is now filling pulpit In
the lower section of the State. The
other son is employed at the r. & d.
shops in this city. Mrs. Wilson says
that she made repeated efforts to dis.
covere what had become OF
her missing husband. Several
times she heard that he had been
seen In different place. Once she heard
that he had been seen In Birmingham
In order to make certain she went to
Birmingham and made quite a thor.
ough search but could find no trace OF
the man. Several times she was infor-
med that he was dead. AS the years
rolled by and she heard nothing from
him she began to believe he was dead.
~ heard nothing whatever from him
and of course could believe nothing
else but that he was dead. However.

Slightest. Having obtained my diyerce
married Mr.. Fletcher Wilson, OF lows
on November last, and l and my
youngest son live here with him now!
He delivers lectures In the opera house
on Sunday afternoons. Mrs: Wilson
said that she did not have the letter
from her former husband, stating that
we was In New York. It was not ad.
dressed to her, but to Miss Kramer,
who lives on lower Main street. She
has seen the letter however. It states
that the man has been living the life
of a tramp. He says In his letter that
he knew he did wrongto desert his wife
and children begs that they be found
and that they come to him IN his ex-
tremity and raise enough money to
bring him home and take care OF him.

Senator 1t. Evans, VINO was IN an
accepting frame of mind agreed to &C.
cept this amendment, too. Senator
Zimmerman thought that the amend
ment would defeat the purpose OF the
bill as to the billy sections of the
State. Senator Fuller believed that IN
his county three days road service was
as much as was averaged.
Senator Finley objected to the 8-day
provision, maintaining that The labor
of those who could not pay the tax
would be given to the county at the
rate of twenty-five cents day. Sena-
tor Evans was not welded to the idea
Of any special number of days, but be-
lieved that a minimum and maximum
ought to be fixed.
Senator Derham referred to the
chain gang feature, and couldn't under
stand how there could be chain gang
in his county, which had only about
two convicts IN the penitentiary. 1t
was running grind-stone with for
ty-llorse power engine. The debate
was beginning to scatter itself all over
the Stats. Senator Harrison discussed
the bill as its provision could be applied
to his section of the State. Then the
Senator struck out with his right at
Section IA which allowed the supervisor
to dismiss defaulting contractors at
will.
Senator Jenkins hads listened with
interest at the arguments from Sena
| tors from various counties and one
thing was evident, that there was a
vast deal Of diversity of opinion as tc

would be: "that We are grouping In the

Jenkins, saying that the Senator's OWL

that he was endeavoIing to "hood- wink

higher regard: He had appealed te

Democrats Gus ted,

SOUTH NoRWALK, Conn, Dec. 49,
Democrats In the employ OF the Nor
walk Iron works at this place, were
summarily discharged Saturday. No
man who Is known to have leaning
towards Democracy will be permitted
to work in the establishment. A notice
announcing this lltimatum of the COM
pany is posted conspicuously In the
work. Here is the self explanatory let
ter which was handed to the discharged
employees:
SOUTH NORMALK Conn.,, Dec. 8, 1893.
We will not need your services after
this day. This action Is forced upon
the management, not by any reason of
dissatisfaction with your work, but in
view of the hostile tariff legislation it
is not advisable to continue the ordin-
ary rate of manufacture. Do not neglect
to take at once any job offered else
where, as we cannotgiVe any encour'
agement regarding future employment.
THE NORWALK IRON Works Co.,
E. HILL, General Manager.
Here IS the explanation given by
Manager Hill: "Our business has fallen
off owing to the tariff, and hence we
had to reduce the wages and the mum.
ber of employees. The men who were
discharged helped to make the tariff,
Why should not they be made to feel
the result cfitp" Only eight employees
received their discharge Saturday, but
they were men whose position in the
factory and long services-some having
been there from 10 to IA years-made
the announcement of the action taken
by Manager Hill come like a cloud
burst to the other employees. A small
reduction of wages in the finishing de,
partment was made, and there too is
posted conspicuously one of the type
written letters which the discharged
employees received. 1t is intended to be
a warning to the men in that part OF
the works and was posted up by order
of the company.
The citizens of Nor walk, indePend'
ent of political affiliations, are up IN
arms against the outrageous manner IN
which the Norwalk Iron works for the
past two years have treated their EN-
ployes, and there Is little doubt that the
discharged workmen will find employ
ment. To two of them employment
was given at once in the w. B. Hubble
hat factory when the circumstances OF
their discharge became known.
