stances ever known in the State
About four years ago McFail got into
difficulty with the town marshal OF
Midway, ia BarnWell county, which re-
suited ic his shooting and killing the
marshal. He was arrested, tried anc
convicted of manslaughter, and SEN
fenced to the geuiteatiary for sever
years. An appeal was takeD to the
State Supreme Court and McFal got
out on bond. In the course of tins
the Supreme Court dismissed the ap.
peal because McFail's attorneys had
not had the briefs printed etc, in ac
cordance with the rules of the court
The remittituer was sent down on
June Is, 1892. After this McFails ap
parently giving up all hope OF keeping
out of the State prison surrendered
himself to his bono holders, went to the
peniteatiary and offered to deliver him
self up 70 the authorities. They re-
fused to take him, the com mitment
papers having not been received. Mr.
Williams applied to the United States
Supreme Court for writ Of error, al

case was called in the United State:
Supreme Court and the State moved
to have the case dismissed. The man

McFail will be obliged to go to prison
at once, the remittuer OF the State
court having already gone down.

Back at john G AIRY Evans.

COLMBIA, 5. g., June 29.-Mr. y am eS
Norton, chief clerk in the office Of Com
ptroller General and candidate for that
office, yesterday gave the press the fol-
lowing self-explanatory card:
l see it reported in the papers today
that Senator John Gary Evans said at
Chesterfield yesterday that I approach
him with poor mouth as to my salary.
Mr.. Evans is entirely mistaken if he
made such statement. What | did do
was to call his and other members of
the general assembiy's attention to the
unjust and apparently spiteful dlscrlm
inatious in the Senate salary bill OF
1892. mentioned the special dlscrim-
ination against the Office Of Comptroll.
er General. This bill fixed his salary
as $500 and current expenses at ST.
$50. This was to all intents and pur-
poses an addition of the Office; the real
purpose of the same was to give the
Office S2,700 when up to Ger. Ellerbe's
term it took $4,000. This same Senate
bill gave the State Treasurer's olliceS4.-
200 when it had before received $4,000
and left tie salary of treasurer at So
100. The treasurer did not have any
mere force than he absolutely needed,
and the work il the Comptroller
Generals Office exceeds that OF the
State Treasurer.
The force in the Comptroller Gen
erals ctlice has been made S3,4OO or
$500 less each year than it took under
the former administration, or saving
Of 5000 for the four years. This
has been saved notwithstanding
the extra work imposed by the
bank and railroad litigation. I'm
der the circumstances | did
think the Senate bill unfair, unjust,
and damaging to the public service as
represented Oy the Comptroller Gener'
ais office aud fels.comlng,as l under.
stood the bill did, from Senator who
was director and lawer for one of
these railroads lighting the adminiStra-
ton, that it was spitetul to the extent
CT its application to the Office of the
Comptroller General. There were other
gross inequalities in the bill which. l
mentioned even TO the ways and means
committee OF the House. The audit
or and treasurerec OF Charleston ceun-
ty receive salaries larger than the
Comptroller General ard the State
Treasurer. These officials get twice
what the same officials of Spartanburg
get and do no more or little more
work. Respectfully,
James y ortcn.

GREETING that they had not followed
our course. We are likely to have them
follow our lead if we lead wisely and
well, but we must not fritter onr
forces by dividing on small issues. We
must rot load down cur platform with
such impractical schemes as are on the
Popuiistic platform. If we make the
fight 10 the South and West on the
question Of the government issuing all
the paper money and taking it away
from the corporations and making
gold, silver, and paper interchangeable
we will win. The tariff is side issue

railroads. We must leave all these
questions out of it and consecrate all
our strength on the fight for the peo-
pies money. Speeches were made by
several candidates for State offices.

Forty Thousand Strikers.

CHICAGO, June 28.-It was estimated
today at the headquarters of the Ameri.
can Railway Union that fully 10000
men are now out on a strike on account
of the refusal of the Pullman Company
to settle the differences with its emplo-
wees in the shops. By tomorrow night
nearly double that number will have
been ordered out, and the strikers will
include DOT only members of the union
but Knights of Labor, brotherhood
men and other Organization can in any
way affect the interests Of the roads
which have decided TO stand by Pull
man. 1t was given out at headquarters
today that tomorrow morning the dit
ferent railroads oat of Chicago handling
Pullman cars would be sufficiently
crippled to warrant the removal OF the
base of operations of the officers Of
the American Railway Union from
Chicago to St. Louis.

New YORK, jane 24.-Tne Tug Jas.
D. Nichols, oaned by Wr. Resves, of
S7th street, this city, fouodered off the
Atlantic Highlands shortly before l
O'Clock this afternoon. The Nichols had
on board party Of eZcursicnists NUM-
oeriug sixty -eirht parsons and also car
RED crew Of five men.
AS near ss can be learned at this
writing forty eight persons were rescued
by the steamer Al.onquio, Of the Clyde
L;ue, and thetu,s Governor Wallace B.
Fiut and Ri. Morgan. This leaves
t. enty Gge persons uuaccouated for and
these have probably been drowned. The
names tf the victims have not all been

ersl days before complete list OF the
dead can be gathered.
| The tug Nichols was chartered by an
ASSOCIATION known as the Herring Fish
ing Club, whose headquarters are at No
SIS lst avenue, this city. Tae tug, with
the party on board. left the foot of 5Ih
rect, East River, at 80 o'clock this
morning. She stopped at Pier on her
way TO the fishing banks of Seabrlgat,
n. j., where several more persons were
taken oa board, making slXty-eight in
all. The fishing was indiit erent and the
weather threatening, aud the tug started
homeward, S.ories differ "s to what
happened on board the tug. According
to one chapter of The narrative the fish.
ermen, 10 aFoid getting wet, moved
around Oh the dry side Of the vessel,
that is, the side where the waves did not
strike with much force. It is claimed
by some that this action on the part Of
the passengers resulted in the founderlng
of the tug. With the increased weight
on one side she toppled over and the
water ran iato her to such &C extent
lhatit was thereafter impossible to navl-
gate her. She struggled for short DIS
tapce and then, a. the water continued
to roll into her, she sank further and
further into the sIells and went down.
By others it is claimed that the shifting
of the passengers had nothing to do
with the accident. These allege that
the tug was an old and rotten affair; that
she vas terribly over GRO Vded and con-
seq1ently top pheavy, and that when she
got into the heavy sea she simply went
over.
She blew her whistle and attracted at
tention on board of the steamer Algon-
ouin, which was mile away. The Al.
gonquln lowered life boat, but the tug
sank before either the lie boat or the
tugs named came up. As she shank
out Of sight the top Of the wheel house,
together with rat5 and life boat, re.
NAMED floating on the water. To every
particle Of wreckegs clung one or more of
the drowning throng, The life raft was
the most soug ht for and those who were
so fortunate as to make it were saved.
The tugs life boat was found adoat,
but full of water. 10 It was the body OF
e drowned man tangled up 10 fishing
lines. The water was 80 rough that
! the Algonquin made 10 attempt to
pick up her life boat, bus gave it llae
and towed it astero until quarantine was
reached.
