J. H. King of Darlington, S. c., are at
the Metropolitan, as is also j. s. McKen-

state dispensary at Darlington, which IN
stitution is temporarily closed, and Mr.
King is his clerk MIR. Mckenzie is chair
man of the board of control for the county
in which Florence is located the board in
question being the one that regulates the
dispensary law. All are young men, King

being a spectator in the terrible affray at
Darlington last Friday, in which two cit

MIR. Floyd, whose dress and manner lndi-

THE CoNsTABLEs IRRTTATED.
1.-The constables had been in town for a
day or two to raid places where liquor
was supposed to be, and they had been
subjected to innumerable insults As
they walked along the streets they were
jeered at and men walked around with
shot guns in defiant way, as though
threatening the lives Of the officers. No
private houses had been raided,
and the thing would have passed
off peacefully, but for the ac-
tion of the citizens in following
up the coustables to precipitate the row.
The row started between two young fell
lows, mere boys. but it was the spark
that fired the mine. Even if a constable
fired the first shot, the man aimed at had
his pistol out, and it was only a question
of who could shoot quickest. In the
second after the shooting became gen

Instantly killed. Two Others were fatally
wounded. Two other workmen in the
region who refused to join in the mob
were assaulted and fatally hurt, They
were carried away by their associates.
Ninety-four of the rioters have been ar
rested and are now in jail here, charged
with MURDER
OF REVOLVING BRUTALITY.
"The murder of Paddock was one of
most revolving brutality He had Just
come out of the mire with his instruments
when he was set upon by the mob of Hun
garians and Slavs and beaten, kicked and
shot out of all semblance OF humanity,
within sight of his home His body was
thrown from a window of the mine tipple
to the burning coke ovens, forty feet be-
low.
more bloody work is looked for to-
morrow as thousands of crazed foreign
miners, chiefly Hungariaus, Poles and
Slavonians are marching through the DIS
trict threatening death TO all who do not
join in the strike"

A Connellsville, Pa, special says:
Late reports from Bradford say ten
Hungarians were killed tonight, or fa-
tally injured, by the deputies and citi-
zens who were pursuing them for the
murder of Chief Engineer Paddock.
A sensational rumor was received here
at II O'Clock to the effect that the clerks,
county officials and deputies in the offices
of the Frick and Mcclure companies are
beseiged by mob of 1 800 strikers, and
that the rioters are making menacing
demonstrations, A telephone message
from the company's store partly confirms

Efforts Being Made to Prevent the
Confirmation of Mckenzie.

Washington, April 4.-The Darlington
trouble has brought out a pretty post
office row in Florence. At the indorse-
ment of Senator Butler and Representa-
tive McLaurin, j. S. Mckenzie, the chair
man of the dispensary board, was ap-
pointed postmaster at Florence. When
the recent trouble occurred there Nc
Kenzie attempted, he claims, to keep
down the riot. At any rate pro test has
been fled against his confirmation in the
Senate and MIR Mckenzie and his OPP
ponents are here to end their fight in the
capital
Mayor Hersey and II. M. Aver are
among these fighting the confirmation.
They have neither the support of Senator
Butler nor Mr.. McLaurln, who will hold
to their former recommendation of Nc
Kenzie. His name is still held up in the
Senate, however, but his confirmation for
the Office at Florence will hardly be de-
fpated

the department has been notified of

raids of late, and so devoid
of any show or threat of resistance have
been these occasions, that the consta bles
had largely given over making requisi-
tions for police escort and most of their
recent raids have been made without the
attendance of the bluecoats. The police
department has promptly anticipated and
nipped in the bud every threat or symp-
tom of rebellion.

WAITING FOR WALSH.
The Tariff Reformers in the Senate
Anxious to Have His Aid.

Washington, April A great number
of Georgians and members of congress
have called at the Washington bureau of
the Augusta Chronicle during the day to
know when Senator Walsh may be ex-
pected. The latter are anxious that he
should come at once and enter the tariff
fight now on. There has been some
attempt to circulate the report here
that he is protectionist and
would vote against the pending bill,
but the papers which arrived from the
south to-day containing his remarks made
at the meeting in Augusta have sustained
the denials made by his friends in refer
ence to the reports. The free trade and
tariff reform senators are anxiously look
ing for him, realizing that he will sustain
them in their fight against the sordid en-
croachments of the protective element In
the Senate.

Darlington, S. c., April AT the
Cleveland house here to-day, DIR. Payne
shot and killed a negro cook, who had re-
ported him as being one of those who
were concerned in the dispensary trans
action which caused the recent riots
Payne was at once arrested by a squad of
soldiers, who were in charge of the hotel
and taken to police headquarters. Every
thing is now quiet and there is apparently
no danger of further trouble. Two com
panies of militia marched double-quick
from the camp, however, for the purpose
of thoroughly policing the city.
DR.. Payne is not a resident of South
Carolina. His home is in Ohio He came
here about two years ago, as an agent for
a life insurance company. He has retained
counsel and has notified his friends of his
predicament. He is confined in the muir

REV. Byrd Moore, pastor of the East

refused to permit this to be done Mr.
Pasco insisted that the man be given an

know that the nominee was his bitter

made as personal affront TO him. This

ability That All the Evidence Will
Be in by Tomorrow Night-The
Days Developments Not Sensa-

Washington, April 4.-Col Breclxin-
ridge ended his testimony to-day, after
having been on the stand almost coutinu-
ously since Thursday. Tomorrow the de-
Tense may submit some additional testimo-
ny, but it is more likely that the rebuttal of
the plaintiffs evidence will begin, and
there is every indication that all the evil
dence will be before the jury when the
court adiourns over on Friday until Mon
day. The day was not sensational.
Col. Breckinridge took the stand as soon
as the court met, and assumed his famil-
lar position Of ease-right hand in his
trousers pocket, and head resting on the
left hand, the elbow leaning on Judge
Bradley's desk
Judge Wilson began his examination by
asking if Col Breckenridge remembered
saying to the servant woman at Mrs.

there with Miss Pollard, MARY, that
was very nice lunch, and when Madeline

with a laugh. "There's not a word OF
truth in it,"
NO EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE.
Judge Wilson was particularly desirous
of knowing whether Col Breckenridge
had ever made expressions of love and
affection to the plaintiff, and the defend-
ant said he had never used such express
sions to Miss Pollard. "I did, however,"
he said ''use expressions of kindliness.
And | was particularly careful
to be good and kind to her when she was

some occupation and 10 keep her mind

used expressions that might be fairly con-
strued as expressions of affection towards
Miss Pollard, although he never used ex-
pressions of love. ''They were merely
expressions that man would use toward
a woman for whose condition he felt
partly responsible" said Col. Breclzin-
ridge.
"Then the expressions you used were
such as to give the plaintiff the idea that
you had love and affection for her2n

done TO give her the idea that / loved her.

The fact that this party has been able

The principles of this party, as for
