SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD SOLD.
Bought In by W. H. PeckhaEn for First
Mortgage Bondholders, But Charles
toms Hope is in Rumor That the
L.&N. VIII Control Il.

CHARLESTON, April 12.-In pursu
aace of the decree of the United States
Court, made last December, the South
Carolina Railway was sold at public
auction at II o'clock to-day. A large
number of prominent fnanciers were
present at the sale, but little excitement
attended the bidding.
The road was sold to Wheeler 81.
Peckham of New York, who repre-
sented q syndicate Of first mortags
bondholders, for ST 900, 900 with which
to discharge prior liens and outstanding
Indebtedness. The price paid virtually
amounts to something less than 81
100000. .
The Louisville and Nashville system,
which owns about 100000 worth of
second mortgage bonds, was repre-
sented at the sale by J. II. Probst, bus
he took no part in the bidding. There
are rumors to the effect that there is an
understanding between the first MORT
gage bondholders and the Louisville
and Nashville people by which the lat
ter may ultimately control the pro-
perty.
Mr.. Peckham deposited a check for
100000 with Receiver Chamberlain,
acting as special master, and the re-
mainder Of the purchase money will be
paid within twenty days.

ty, sent in his resignation. The Gov
ernor refused to accept it and told Gen.
Farley to notify Lieut.. Woodward that
he could not resign while under orders,
and that a court martial would be
ordered to try him and all other otncefs
who refused to obey orders.
Governor Tillman yesterday made
public the stenographic testimony
taken at the coroner's inquest in Dar-
linpton recently. The matter is entire
" too voluminous for any newspaper
to attempt to publish. There are about
$50 pages of typewriter matter. All
the constables told pretty much the
same story ard they swear that young
Norment. who was killed, fired the first
shot.
Col. John Gary Watts is preparing a
report of all the military affairs incl
dent TO the ''insurrection," as far as the
Columb bia end Of the line is concerned.
It will also give statementofshe guns
taken away from the Columbia, Char
lestoa and other troops. It will be made
public this afternoon.
Governor Tillman yesterday after
noon offered the press an opportunity
to copy every telegrom he sent out
during the entire trouble. The mass of
telegrams was 80 great that it was im-
possible for any of them to be handled
Yesterday. The most important will,
however, very likely be published from
time to time.

ZEB VANCE IS DEAD!
A Stroke of Apoplexy Ends a Brilliant
Life.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Zebulon Vance, of North Carolina,
died at his residence, 1922 Massa-
chusetts avenue, at 1915 tonight. The
Senator had not been in good health
for the year and in the early part Of the
present session of Congress vas COM
PEELED to abandon his Senatorial duties
and take a trip to Florida in the hope
of recuperating. His trip proved bene-
fetal and on his return to Washington
be was able for a while to partially re-
sumo bis official duties. His improve
ment, however, did not continue long
and for the last few weeks he has been
confined to his home. He was practi-
cally an invalid, but lately has been
able to receive few intimate friends
and superintend the looking after the
interests of his constituents. During
the past week he has been reported as
doing as well as could be expected, and
the serious change for the worse to-day
was wholly unexpected.
Shortly after II o'clock to-day he had
an attack of apoplexy and became un-
conscious, regaining consciousness only
a few minutes before bis death. His
wife, Thomas Allison, Harry Hartin,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Vance, Judge
and Mrs. Houke and Rev. DR.. Pitzer
and Drs. W. w. Johnson and Ruffin
were at his bedside when he died.
The critical condition of Mr.. Vance
became known this afternoon and soon
inquiries from his many friends in this
city were made at the house. Senator
Ransom and Representative Hender-
son of the Seventh North Carolina dis
trict and few other close friends, spent
the greater part of the evening in the
parlors of the Vance residence and
waited anxiously fer tidings from the
sick room. They left about half an
hour before the Senator died and were
notified by messenger of his death.

A Revolutionary Heroine

One of the most heroic actions in the
history of the Revolutionary times was
that of Marion Gibbs, thirteen-year-
old girl, who lived on plantation near
Charleston, in the State of South Caro-
lima. Marion's father had been brave
