SOUTH CAROLINA.

Columbia Register: The independents
want TO get out of the organized democ-
racy, yet want some excuse for their
bolt. They laid the groundwork for an
excuse by their resolutions aoout the
Ocala platform. The action of the organ
lied democratic convention on that s. ore
being by the confession of the antipapers
uneXceptionable, that attempt at an ex-
cuse has Oeen knocked out. One of the
anti-papers plainly tells the Independents
that they will have TO give up the attempt
TO organize upon national issues and will
have to organize upon state issues, opposi-
tion to the dispensary being the most
available timber of a platform The
whisky powers hand shows through
these.
Charleston News and Courier: The
democratic conN ention which met in Co.
lumbia on Tuesday night did not make
any nominations AT one time during the
long session of the caucus, which was
held to settle quietly the differences
among the delegates and to arrange the
business of the convention, it was decided
by vote OF l23 to 90 TO put ticket in the
field. but the opposition TO this course was
so strong that when the convention as
sembl d yesterday morning, after the
caucus had been in session all night. ad.
Journm, mt was reached without nomina-
tions. This was the wisest thing the con-
vention could have done under the cir
cumstances indeed it was the only
wise course from the beginning. ANY
other course would have resulted ia
breaking up the conservative party. and,
as Mr.. Con ales expressed it in brief
interview published IN the News and
Courier yesterday, the advocates of nomi-
nations rather than be chargeaDle with
such result, concluded TO abandon the
whole thing in disgust We DO not
think this form of expression is fortunate.
Doubtless many Of the delegates were dis
appOin led, but there is no reason why
they should ue disLusted at the work of
the convention we are sure that il will
be approved by an Overwhelming ma or
lty OF The conservative democrats OF the
state.

TIE ALLEGA ATOMS,
Col. Bobleter Denies Receiving Interest on
State Deposits.

The Tribune Of the Goth says: A
Minneapolis evening paper says that an
expert accountant who has been making
an investigation into the three defunct
banks of that city, the American Exchage,
State, and Farmers and Merchants,
claims TO have brought to light proof
that State Treasurer Bobleter has been
the recipient Of "personal interest" It
was found, the expert asserts, that drafts
bearing interest at 8 per cent had been
made out payable to different persons,
and that before being returned to the
bank the same had beenpaid to Bobleter
In few cases only were the draftsssmade
out to Bobleter direct, nearly all of
them being made payable to some bank
employe CT citizen.
Col. Bobleter was seen tonight regard
ing the matter and he made a denial
similar to that published by the Tribune
IN an interview with him when the charg-
es were first made. "The receiver stipu-
lated" Col. Bobleter said last night.
"that we had $4,000 over and above
what was necessary to pay the admins
tration, ard on the strength of that At
torney-General Childs went before the
court and asked for an order for paw
ment of the $4,000 on the ground that
the state was a preferred creditor, and
that other moneys be paid as they were
received until the state claim was fully
justified. The case was argued before
Judge Smith week ago last Monday.
He filed his order with the clerk of the
court that the receiver pay the state the
$4,000. The money has not yet been
paid over, but presume it will be as I
presented the order to the receiver
week ago lastMonday, though I have not
seen him since. He said then that he
wanted to wait a few days to see if any
one wanted to appeal from that order"
Col. Bobleter was of the opinion that
the report that the expert had discovered
evidences Extraordinarily acquired interest
on state deposits had become mixed.
"You will remember" he said. "that in

November when the matter was first
brought before the public, Mr.. Arctander
made an affidavit to the effect that cor.
rupt agreement had been entered into
between the officers Of the Bank of New
England and myself whereby L was to
receive p per cent additional interest on
state money for my own use, allof which
was denied at the time. I have never
asked or even intimated to the officers of
the Bank Of New England that expect
ed any compensation for myself for
state deposits and the first deposit IN the
Bank of New England was made upon
the solicitation of some of my friends
who were not actively engaged in the
management Of the bank.
''The whole fight" continued the state
treasurer, 'shas been made on Us to de-
feat the states preferred claim. Those
who have opposed the motion of having
the state a preferred creditor also held
in their opposition that the money was
not properly deposited, that the books
showed that the state of Minnesota had
no money on deposit. In depositlng the
mony to the credit of Joseph Bobleter,
state treasurer, I have only followed in
the footsteps of my predecessors, and

PERHAPS THE WRONG PRISONER.
Queer Case in the United States Court
Evidence Indicates that Mr.. lRumery OF
Biddeford Was Not the Man Who Sold
the Liquor. taFos

There was peculiar case in the Unit
ed States Court yesterday. C.S.Rumery
OF Biddeford was before Commissioner
Bradley, charged with selling liqour
without an internal revenue license. It
is stated that he keeps grocery store,
and is one of the most respected old gem
tlemen in Biddeford. His arrest there
by Deputy Marshal Emery caused a
great sensation. Some imediately called
him hypocrite, for he is strict tenn
perance man. and has always been a
firm prohibitionist. The majority
claimed that there must be some mis-
take. Mayor Hamilton was employed as
his counsel
The first witness for the government
was Fred H. Cox of Lewiston, who swore
that he was a a. spottter" for the Unit
ed States marshal. He said that on Oc-
tober Sd he went into Rumery's grocery
store and bought liquor. Gle described
the store, but his description Of the place
was nothing like Rumery's store, SO the
old gentleman says. Cox even went so
far as to identify Rumery as the man
who sold the liquor. eEss
| The government then put W. ". ssThom-
as of Biddeford on the stand. Thomas
said that Cox was not right abont' the
day they bought the liquor of Rumery.
1t was the 4th of October, instead of the
Bird. Cox stuck to his original story,
an affirmed that it was October 3. Then
Thomas described the store where the
liquor was alleged to have been bought.
The description was not very much like
that given by Cox. asi
Rumery was then put On the stand. H e
swore that during the first week in Oc-
tober he was in Boston on business, uand
| could prove an alibi. He further said
that the description of the place where
the men bought the liquor tailed ex-
| actly with the description of another
grocery store short distance from his
place.
Commissioner Bradley decided to con-
tinue the case until the Decem Der term
of the Circuit Court, to enable Rumery
to get witnesses to prove his alibi. The
general opinion of those present in the
court room was that the two "spottersn
had became mixed i'll their dates and
| caused the arrest OF the wrong man.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
A Young Woman Suffers From Hysteria
in Drug Store.

She Says She Has Friends Here But They
Have not Been Found-She Had NJ
/ Money With Her-Does not Yet Give a
Full Account of Herself.
Yesterday morning a well appearing
young woman aged about twenty-five years
stepped into Mr.. Williamson's drug store
| corner OF Congress and Free streets and
| asked permission to look at the directory
| She was hright.and pleasant in manner and
seemed to be perfectly well. She turned
the pages of the directory for few minutes
| and then suddenly turned and fell prone
upon her face.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williamson and several other
ladies' and gentlemen were present and
Immediately did all they could to restore
the young woman to conscio usn ess.
Physicians were telephoned for but almost
all doctors at the time of the affair were
out making calls. Drs. Warren and Clarke
both came in veiy near the same time. DR..
Warren thought it might be case of
catalepsy as the girl foamed Fat the mouth
and her limbs became very rigid. Finally
DR.. ellison of the Maine General hospital
staff arrived carriage was procured and
the woman taken to the hospital.
NAAo AoucOA pau VI yesterday dIL6TnOOu
the woman hads.partially come. to herself
but not enough to make lucid statement,
She said her name was Isora Farley and
that she was twenty-five years old. She
said she came from New York by boat yes
terday morning and had a friend a Miss
Cora Thayer in Portland who she was look
ing for. She said she was accustomed TO
house work. She was dressed in a dark
blue serge dress, sort of outside dark
cape, that appeared to be made of outir g
flannel and a dark straw hat with flower
decorations. There was not thing on the
girl to identisy her and in her pooket-book
there was no money, only gold ring. Miss
Farley had not recovered sufficiently last
evening to give any further account of her
self. The police are hunting for Miss Cora
Thayer, to see if she can give further infor-
nation. The doctors decided that Miss
Farley was suffering from severe attack
OF. by sierra.
1t seems queer that young person like
Miss Farley should have been in a strange
city, apparently without money and with
out knowledge of any one except single
lady FRIEND, but when she comes to she
may be able to give a full explanation of
what seems rather mysterious.

Rather a Complicated Case.

Two young sailors came to Portland yes
terday from down east to take legal steps
to secure wages that had not been paid
them. One tells the story that last spring
he'and his companion sailed to Boston in a
fishing schooner with her captain. They
worked for him fourteen days and he did
not pay them. They went off fishing on
another vessel, but when the captain, who
owed them the money, skipped to parts
unknown with $500, the sum received for a
fare Of fish. thus defrauding the owners of
the schooner and the crew, these two men
applied to the owners for their wages. The
owners declared that it was the missing
captain that hired them and he only was
responsible.
Those two men engaged counsel in this
city. aid propose to find out whether the
captain or owners are responsible.
