Falls 1900 Feet Into the Medi
terranean.

CANNES, March 25.-An aeronaul
named Wilton, we'll known 10 America,
met a tragic death here today 10 an as
cension- No car was attached TO the
balloon aud Wilton assembled hanging
to a rope. When fifteen hundred feet
high, the ballop was caught 10 a cur
ent Of air that carried it rapidly sea-
ward 1t was apparent that Wilton
could not control the valve at the top Of
the balloon. He let GO his hold of the
rope from which he dangled and bis
body shot down into the sea with fright
full velocity. The accident occurred ln
full view Of thousands Of spectators. and
a number of women tainted away. A
number Of pleasure boats burriedly
made their way to the place where
Wilton bad fallen, and after a short
search his body was recovered. His
death must have been almost instau.
taneous.
Prior to the fatal ascent, Wilton sent
up several small balloons to ascertain
the direction of the wind. Finding ii
to be landward, he dispensed with the
large car and used merely a small
platform with a rope attached. Many
pleasure craft were in the harbor When
Wilton struck. but none was quick
enough to reach him, although he sur
vived his fall about ten minutes. An
examination of his body showed that he
bad received a SCATTERING blow on the
right side of his head. Had it not been
for this wound, he might nave been able
to keep himself above water until help
arrived.

Wants Talmage's Opinion.

A prominent attorney Of Columbia
has written DR.. Talmage a letter, in
which the noted preacher is asked to
preach a sermon giving therein his views
in regard to newspapers publishing the
details of the Pollard
scandal. The writer calls Dr.. Tai
IMAGES attention to the fact that there
are hundreds who would like 80 hear
some expression from the pulpit in
regard to this matter. and states that
inasmuch as DR.. Talmsge's sermons are
printed 10 nearly every newspaper in
the land, he will be the best man to
make such an expression of opinion

The Coast Line.

From all reports it will not be many
months before the whistle of the locomotive
will be heard up and down the Manchester
aud Augusta railroad. The grading for the
new road is almost completed and in q very
short time the rails will be laid. -Four sta
tons will be established in this county, and
as the new road passes through II me
agricultural section, it is probable that
around each of these depots there will spring
up hourishing little towns. In fact around
each depot town lots have already been laid
off and are probably, by this time upon the
market.
The 6rst stopping point after crossing the
Santee River will be Auburn, 'sthe beautiful
CITY of the plaips.'' This depot and town
will be located on lands Of Messrs. j. S.
Wiles aud E.. W. L.. Gates in Pine Grove
township.
Next comes Cameron, named in honor OF
Senator Don Cameron Of Pennsylvania, the
intimate friend of Senator Butler, and who
has always taken great interest in the
development of Southern towns This depot
is located upon lands of Dr.. j.. W. Summers,
Just ives. of the State Road. 1t is probable
that Cameron will become the most important
new station on the road, for it is situated at a
sufficient distance from Orangeburg aud in
the midst Of q very prosperous section.
After passing O~rangeburg the first town will
be about seven miles distant upon the land oil
Mr.. J.. P. Smoak. Cordova this will be,
named after the old Moorish stronghold in
Spain and a very pretty name it is. Further
on will come Copes, the last Que east Of
Denmark Orangeburg Enterprise.

Senatorial Disclaimers.

We did not publish either of the
absurd reports alluded to by Senators
Butler aud Irby in the following
emphatic deniaEs, simply because we
did not believe there vas any truth in
them but we deem it but just and
fair that we should lend "a aid, as
far as our circulation extends, to re-
flute the sianders aud enable those
gentlemen to place themselves right
before their constituents
SENATOR Buffers RESPONSE.
A friend of Senator Butler living 10
Greenville recently directed the sena-
tors attention to an editorial comment
10 this newspaper on an article repub-
lished in The News and Courier from a
Northern newspaper accusing Senators
Butler and Cameron of log rolling,
vote swapping. etc. The following re-
ply has been received from Senator
Butler !:
It is amazing that a respectable
newspaper will publish such absurd
ISLANDERS on no other authority than
that they are taken from a Northern
newspaper.
"7Re GyeenuiNe News and The
Charleston Meus and Courier must be
extremely anxious to make a point
against me by giving currency to such
a falsehood.
81 voted for Mr.. Peckham's con-
6rmation for associate justice of the
supreme court because he was shown
to be qualified for the position. l
had no patronage to ask of the presi-
dent in exchange for my vote. The
subject of the confirmation of Mr..
Peckham was never discussed between
the president and myself aud it implies
a very. poor opinion of the integrity and
honesty of the president and myself to
suggest such q dishonorable transaction
The statement as to Senator Cameron
and myself is as baseless a falsehood
as the other. Mr. Cameron voted
according to the dictates of his own
Judgment and conscience. and I did
likewise. Therefore, the author of
the charge, as to both of US is simply
an unmitigased f~alsehood, made Of the
whole cloth.
If you see fit, you may request The
GreenviWe Mews and The Charleston
Neus and Courier to publish this note.
As they have both been the medium
of giving publicity to a gra,uitous
SANDER. l assume they will comply
with your request.
Very truly yours.
