SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.
Sold to First Nor gage Boni-Hoiders for
One Million Dollars.

CHARLESTON, s. O., April 12-In pur-
suance OF the decree OF the United States
Court made last December, the South
Carolina railroad was sold at public auc-
ton at II o'clock to-day. a large num-
ber OF prominent fnanciers attended the
sale. but little excitement attended the
bidding. The road was sold TO Wheeler
II. Peckham. of New York. who repre-
scented a syndicate Of first-mortgage bond
holders, for 81 100000. This amounts to
the hrst-mortgaGe bondhOlders taking the
road for their bonds. and paying S,0Oo.0 900
with which to discharge prior liens and
outstanding Indebtedness. The price paid
virtually amounts to something less than
5000 900.
The Louisville and Nashville system
which owns also 100000 worth OF second
mortgage bonds. was represented at the
sale by j. p. Probst. but he took no part
in the bidding. There are rumors TO the
effect that there Is an understanding
between the first-mortgage bondholders
and the Louisville and Nashville people
by which the latter may ultimately con-
troll the prop5rty. MIR Peckham de-
posted a check for 100000 with Receiver
Chamberlain. acting as special master
and the remainder Of the purchase money
will be paid within twenty days.

NEW YORK, April IA Sun special
from Columbia says: The report of Briga-
der-General Richbrough. who commanded
the troops at Darlington and Florence
during the late dispensary troubles, was
made public yesterday. The report in
cludes the report Of the Military Court of
Inquiry held in connection with the Coro-
ner's inquest on the death of Norment,
Redmond. and Pepper.
This court, composed OF five officers.
after summarizing the testimony, de-
clares that it firmly believes that had
McLendon not interfered. the Chief Of Po-
lice would have had no trouble In preserv-
ing order and avoiding tragedy. The
court further concluded that Norment
came 10 MS death at the hands OF Nc
Lendon, and that the killing was felonious
murder; that Pepper was killed by Lewis
Redmond and that Redmond was killed
by Constable o. c. Cain. The report

THE OYSTER INVESTIGATION.
Maryland Dredgers Testify They Were
Taken In Maryland Waters.


CRIsFIELD. MD, April .2.-(SpeciaD
A number of Marylanders testified TO-
day. and were cross-exams1ed by the
Virginia committee. The terdlency of the
evidence is that the capture 81 the Mary
land dredgers took place IN Maryland
waters. When asked If they had been
dredging in Virginia waters. they de-
cllned to answer under. instructions from
the Maryland committee, that they could
decline to answer anything that would
crlminate themselves. The two commit
tees will. evidently, have another meet
ing. probably at Old Point The Nir-
ginia committee dined with the Maryland
committee on board the steamer Governor
Mclean, and a good dinnC- it was.
Colonel J. Bell Bigger. the clerk OF the
Virginia committee. was with the party.
and saw the two committees.w search
ing for some point TO dstermine the
dredging-line between Virginia and Mary
land.
The utmost good feeling prevailed. IL
Is probable that Speaker Cardwell Clerk
Bigger. and Colonel Boykin will go TO
Baltimore tonight with the Maryland COM
mittee, and that Captain Baylor and
others will return to Old Point. on the
steamer Chesapeake.

On arrival at this city Mr.. Brown and

for recovery are very good. The wounded
girl is a blonde, about 2i years of age.
OF slight figure. and quite pretty. She
is said TO be engaged to asgentleman In
this city. No motive for Guards action
Is known, but the most frequent conjec-
ture is that he sought to address Miss
Martin and received no encouragement.
