Keitt on Tillmall.

Ellison 8. Keitt, of Newberry, one Of
the original members of the "reform
movement" and leading ALLAN ceman,
in a recent letter to the Cotton Plant,
paws his respects to his old "boss" in the
following words;
He is not working to improve the NOR
ais Of the people and to raise them in
Christian virtues. If he is, why is he
forcing shis whiskey saloons on dry
counties and dry towns? He is not So
licitous about the morals of the people.
He wants it to employ dispensers at large
salaries and to fill the State with consta-
bles and spies, He wants it as corrupt
fund to extend his power over and make
sure his grip on the people of the State.
He is not working tor the good OF the
people. His every act is conclusive that
be is working for B. r. Tillman's ad-
vancement, for that and nothing else.
The short time he has been in Office he
has done more to destroy the peace.
harmony and prosperity of the people OF
the State than all the men who have oc-
rupied the position he now holds
from the foundation of the government
to the present time, including Scott and
Moses, of Infamous memory.
Farmers of the State, am talking to
hoovos you to think we'll on these things
and cease to give further aid to Tillman
in his efforts to destroy your liberties
and the peace OF the State. To deprive
any man of the right to eat, drink and
wear what be desires and pays for and
does not use to the injury Of any one else
is the issue; tyranny is not to be tolerated
by freeborn men. 1t will do for serfs
and slaves, held down at the point of the

A Sad Case.
From the Deutsch zeitung of Feb.

NV Dear Mr. Editor-With sad heart
I go to bed tonight, ruined old man, to
rest my old bones, AS ] have written to
you before, have been engaged in max
ing wine, my farm being small and yield
ing but "a slender income.
For nine years past have been raising
sour cherry trees to make cherry wine
out of the juice. had succeeded this
year to the extent of making fifty gallons
of wine, fifteen gallons Of cherry juice
and some blackberry juice. also had
on hand fifty bottles OF old wine Chat l
had been keeping for my own use.
Owing to the Dispensary law and not
to get into trouble I had taken no steps to
sweeten the wine, and it Of course soured
into vinegar. But in order to preserve it
and not suffer further loss put sugar
into the cherry juice. But was not to
reap the fruit Of my hard work and my
outlay.
To-day had visit from one OF Gov
ernor Tillman's s'gentlemen," accom-
panied by assistants. I was not shown
any warrant, but was told that he had it
in his pocket, and that my house was to
be searched to see if there were any
spirituous liquors in it. I told them that
no search was necessary. Here is sour
grape wine made by me right here, about
forty gallons; here is rny cherry juice,
not prepared for market, and here is my
own wine for my own private use.
The fine gentlemen" filled two beer
bottles to send them to Columbia, telling
me to let everything stand Just as it was
till they should hear from Boss Tillman.
They left my house, but In abolt two
hours they returned with wagon and
carried away everything. They did not
even leave me one empty bottle. They
arrested me and said I had to give bond
for $500. Poor nae with seven mouths
land all good eaters) to feed, Where was
I to find bondsman =?
To whom could I 20 to save my little
bit of property, earned by the sweat of
my brow, my living and the living of my
poor children ?
Ny dear friend, what shall I say?
How think you felt when had to look
on and see how "frsa" citizen is treated
in this State; how he is robbed Of his
property in bright. broad daylights
How is an honest man to get on amid
such doings? How shall find bread for
my children, if my living is thus cut off?
I suppose I shall have to 70 to prison or
to the poor house. w. SCHUBERT.

Ditched by Devils.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 16.-A spe-
cial from Majave says: The Southern
Pacific overland train No. 20 was held up
and wrecked at Roscoe, about twelve
miles east Of Los Angeles, about 11.3O
last night. The switch was thrown and
the train run on short spur, throwing
the engine and two cars off the track.
Engineer Dave Thomas is badly injured
and Fireman Arthur Masters and an un-
known tramp were shot and killed, The
robbers blew the express car open with
bombs and robbed it. The amount taken
Is not known. There were three men in
the gang and they started north on horse
back after the robbery.
Another special from San Fernando
says Several mon boarded the train at
Burbank and at Roscoe their accomplices o
ditched 1t and commenced shooting. The
Wells-Fargo express car was blown open
with dynamite and the money taken.
The Fireman was caught under his en-
gine and only lived about one hour.
Engineer Thomas jumped and took to
the brush, though it is reported he was
injured aud an unknown tramp, who
was stealing ride on the pilot was kill
ed. 1t Is reported that the robbers es-
capped with several sacks Of gold. The
tramp who was killed was youth nam
ed Granger. His body and that Of Fire
man Masters we're brought here several
hours after the robbery.

A Grand Invention.

In the march Of progress it would now
seem that the Westinghouse brake will
soon he outstripped By more simple
and less expensive device. The Erie
railway has several months past had on
trial a new brake, the one which it is in
tended will be the successor to the Wes
tinghouse brake. So far they have found
1t as efficient, simple and cheap, and are
so we'll pleased with it that they have
not only concluded to adopt it on their
entire system, but have actually secured
control of the entire patent right for the
United States at ridiculously low fig
brake working on 100 cars of that
road, and are about to extend ITS use to
the entire system. The brake is so SIM
pie as to require hardly any mechanism,
and is controlled neither by air nor
steam, nor does it require coupling
between the cars in its operation,
and requires no attention from the engi-
neer.
Its operation is automatic by the mo-
mentum of the cars to which they are at
tached. When it is desirable to apply
the brake the engineer shuts oil the
steam and applies the brakes of the en-
gine. This throws the next car up on
the engine, and the pressure on the
bumpers applies the brakes to that
car Immediately. The next car is
bumped in like manner and instantly
stopped, and so on through the entire
train. The action of the brake is con-
trolled by the manner in which the en-
gine is slowed up If the engine brake
is applied gradually the action is the
same throughout the train, but if the en-
gine's brake is applied suddenly every car
in the train will pull up with sudden
jerk.
The mechanism of the new brake is of
the utmost simplicity. Indeed, there is
hardly any mechanism. The Erie 1s
now beginning to extend the use of the
new brake to its entire system. They
think they have tho best invention In
tho railroad line since the introduction of
its prototype, the air brake, and have
taken steps to reap the reward OF the en-
terprising spirit which they have shown
in giving the device trial. They have
secured the entire patent right for the
United States, with contract to pay the
inventor 81 per year per brake which
they put in use. They are making
preparations to begin the manufacture of
the new brake, and within short time
will enter the field to contend with the
Westinghouse company for the mOnopo-
ly of railway car brakes. The inventor
Of the device Is man seventy-four years
old, and has figured before as an inven-
tor. Indeed, he claims that the air brake
was originally his idea, but that the elder
Westinghouse learned of 1t and patented
it. Since his disappointment over that
affair he has been at work on brake
which he determined should be superior
to the air brake and would replace
tho latter and retire it from active ssr-
vino

Woman Preacher Ordained,

BosroN, Feb. l4.-The ordination of
Mrs. Amelia A. Frost. wife Of Rev.
George A. Frost, of the Orthodox Church
here, as the only woman preacher in the
Congregational Church in Massachusetts,
took place here to-day. It is significant
that the council report unanimously
upon her examination and no opposition
was made to her ordination. When Mr..
Frost was studying for the ministry his
health broke down and Mrs. Frost as
sisted him in various ways. The result
was that she took full divinity school
course at Andover. After Mr.. Frost
began to preach, his wife frequently as
sisted him by preaching herself. Some
time since. the society took an informal
ballot upon the question of asking Mrs.
Frost to become its associate pastor and
this led to her ordination to-day.

Weber was Short.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Feb. IA great
sensation has been created in South
Carolina by the announcement officially
given out to-day by Superintendent Of
Education Mayfield of the defalcation of
John Z. Weber, School Commissioner of
Charleston county, for several years.
The amount Of peculation is $l,237. The
shortage extends over several years.
Why it has not been discovered before
has not been explained, but there are
insinuations that other Charleston ofh-
cials may be implicated, and that further
startling developments may result.
Weber was connected with the Neacs
and Courier and was at the same time
School Commissioner. He recently re-
signed both positions and accepted the
position of professor Of English literature
in Trinity College, North Carolina. Since
ne left the State, the defalcstion was dis
covered. Weber not only raised school
pay certificates by inserting figures in
the legitimate amount, but got trustees
to sign others, which were to pay for
school supplies. Having complete conf
dence in him, they signed the warrants
for small amounts usually, which he
afterwards "raised."
The matter has been known in official
circles for some time. Recently Cover
nor Tillman telegraphed Weber to come
back to South Carolina, which he did.
He was quietly arrested in Charleston
and gave bond and returned to Trinity
College. The exposure was made public
to-day and the evidence seems indispu-
table against Weber. Unless he skips
his bond the penitentiary is undoubtedly
his lot.
Wehe- is highly connected in the State.
He has q wife and two small children.
He got &c I'd salary as newspaper man
and as commissioner. but his downfall Is
attributed t, high social aspirations
which he did not have money to keep up,
to gambling generally and dealing in
futures.
The attorney general has rendered an
opinion that the provision Of the county
government bill which was supposed to
disarrange the whole tax machinery Of
the State, really amounts to nothing, as
the present county government will
remain in force until 1895, when the new
