SHOT MOTHER AND BABE.
A SHOCKING TRAGEDY NARROW.
LY AVERTED
NEAR KENNEY's MILL ON SUNDAY MORN
ING-MR. G. e. LEWIS AND A
NEGRO HAVE A DIFFICULTY.

NEGRO HAVE DIFFICULTY.
| Considerable ea2sItement was created
in the city Sunday morning by report
that q negro had entered the house of
Mr.. G. E. Lewis, who lives near Kenney' s
mill, in the upper part of the county, and
killed Mrs. Lewis and her small babe.
A runner came for Sheriff Christie,
and sooD he and Mr.. Ii. p. Slade were oft
for the scene of the reported tragedy
with blood hounds.
No definite news was received until
Monday morning, when it was, learned
that Mrs. Lewis and the baby were not
seriously hurt.
The particulars of the affair seem to
be that on Saturday afternoon Mr.. Lewis
and negro named Luke Gaines had a
difficulty about small amount of money
that the negro claimed was due him.
When the negro left that night he was
angry. Early Sunday morning, just after
Mr.. Lewis got up, the negro returned and
showed a disposition to renew the fuss.
Mr.. Lewis got down his shot gun to pro-
tect himself. The negro grabbed hold
of the gun, and while he and Mr.. Lewis
were tussling over it in the hallway of
the house both barrels were discharged.
The shot went through the wall between
the hall and the room occupied by Mrs.
Lewis, and some of them took effect in
Mrs. Lewis ankle and some in the head
and face of her little baby. Fortunately,
the shot only penetrated the skin, an !
nobody was badly hurt. The shot We're
removed from Mrs. Lewis ankle and the
baby's head and face by DIR. Cook.
A negro supposed to be Gaines was
arrested at Richland, but he proved %
be the wrong negro and was released.

OFFICIAL RETURNS.

The official returns Of the election
held Thursday, February 20, 1894, in
Columbia county for Congressman-at-
Large is as follows: Grow, republi-
can ticket, 1904; Hancock, democra-
tic ticket, 26IS; Morrow, prohibition
ticket, ITO A. D. Markley, Pennsyl-
vania democracy, 80 l.; Grow, protective
tariff policy, "a; Lotier, Peoples
party, I9 From above figures it will
be seen that the democratic majority
of Columbia county was only 554,
being the smallest majority ever given
a candidate on the State or National
ticket since 1860, when Breckenridge,
Lincoln, Douglass and Bell were the
candidates - Breckenridge receiving
4o4 majority. The small majority
given at this election indicates great
lack Of interest the election Of the
republican candidate was conceded by
all, and the democrats generally
throughout the state did not trouble
themselves to go to the polls to vote,
or if they did go, it was only to vote
for some favorite on the township
ticket. The democrats make a great
mistake by showing such Indifference,
and make hard work for the chairmen
10 get out the vote in close contest.
The normal majority of Columbia
county is from 1000 to 25oo and wher
1t falls below 1000, every democratic
voter who remains away from the polls
is responsible for it. Eight months
from this we vote for Governor and
twenty-eight Congressmen, besides
members of the State Senate and
Legislature it therefore behooves
every democrat to be up and doing
from this time forward that no voter
be allowed to remain away from the
polls. Get out the vote should be the
watchword of everybody.

A Ruling Which Practically Renders the
Interstate Law Useless.

Judge Grosscup, of the United
States Court, at Chicago, on Monday
discharged the rule on the railroad
officials compelling them to answer
questions in the Federal grand jury
investigation of the workings of the
inter State commerce law
The officials have refused to answer
questions regarding their rate-cutting
and by this ruling Of the Judge the
interstate law is, to large extent,
apparently, rendered practically
valueless.
In his decision Judge Grosscup
said: "Every mans life is, SO far as
society is interested, series of per
sonal acts. Each act not impinging
unlawfully upon the rights of Others or
falling within the definitions of the
criminal statutes,is personal right of
the individual.
"The theory Of our criminal pro.
ceeding, like that of Great Britain, is
accusatory and not inquisitoral. No
person can be subjected to the pen
alties of the law unless every fact
essential to the identification of the
act charged with the crime is apparent
from sources other than himself, or his
own voluntary disclosures. The ac-
cused eau stand, as against the
menace of the laws penalties, upon
the sanctity of his own personal knowl-
edge, and the constitutional guarantee
puts seal upon that knowledge that
no legislative or judicial hand can
break.
''If the fifth amendment is intended
to grant to the person complete i'm
munity against the consequences of
selfaccusation of crime, irrespective
of the nature of such consequences,
no legislative act can cut down or
diminish such immunity"

Insurance Commissioner Luper
says the ratio of fire losses last year
10 premium income will exceed ten
per cent. and that for twenty-four
years there is nothing to compare
with these figures. He says this SIM
ply means that the Pennsylvania
companies were compelled to pay
out $I,S4S,674 more than they re-
ceived for premiums during the year
and still have many thousands of un-
paid losses. In other words. instead
of making money they lost nearly
$4,000, 900. He thinks hard times
has something to do with the large
percentage of fire losses, but at
tributes the faulty construction of
buildings and the carelessness of pro-
perty owners as the chief cause. Mr..
Luper says the Pennsylvania fire
companies are solvent, but whether
they can remain so with the business
as disastrous as last year he is unable
to say.
