Wounded in the Abdomen.

/ Charleston. s. c.. oct. 2.-The inquest
. in the case Of the police murder. which
4 occurred on Sunday in this city, was held

spectacle white man. and John C0ur0y.
another, became engaged in a cOntr0-
versy with Policeman Knox. who shot
Carey through the heart. killing him in
Stantly, and CourOy in the abdomen.
Neither of the victims were armed.
Only two witnesses were examined by
the Jury. OF course. the evidence was
eXparte. but as both were entirely dis
interested and entire strangers in the city
the evidence looks black L. d. TAYLOR
who came here on the Sunday excursion
from Savannah, testified as follows.
between and 4 o'clock Sunday after
noon we were going up King street. and
when we got opposite 5l5 King street we
saw three men clInCh. We ran up until
we got within about twenty-five steps Of
them. They had got out into the middle
OF the street. We saw Policeman Knox
Here he identified the prisoner He
hd1 his pistol out, and the TWO men had
hold Of hin. They seemed to be trying
10 hold the pistol down. They were on
the Sidewalk at TINS time, ana Mr.. Con
roy was loose and the policeman still
had Mr.. Carey around the back with his
left arm and put his pistol to his breast
and fired, and pulled loose from Mr.
Carey, the latter falling on the sidewalk.
The policeman stepped out into the mid
die of the street Then Mr. Conroy was
standing a few feet from the sidewalk.
The policeman still had his pistol in his
hand and pointed it at MIN. Dir

sake" BY this time the policeman shot
him. He then walked over to the box.

cliuched when we saw them. The police
man did not summon any aid. Mr. Con-
roy was not advancing upon the police

thing in their hands"
William Duncan, another visitor to the
city, cOrroborates this statement. Both
witnesses say that the policeman had
Carey around the neck with his left arm.

of the state penitentiary arrived from
Atlanta this morning. and went at once

with the convicts at that place.
This morning when the gong was
sounded Tor the laborers to go to work,
the convicts did not heed it. Indeed,
they seemed TO think the summons was
not intended for them.
They looked sullen and showed the
whites Of their eyes to the guards.
After yesterday mornings outbreak

precautions were taken to prevent their
making a break for liberty. Last night
they were very noisy and had much to
say about their grievances against the
new boss" IL was late in the night be-
fore their voices were stilled. The guards
were reinforced, and had there been an
outbreak, an escape would doubtless have
been cut of.

the forty cOnvicts told him their
tale of woe and only one Of them com
planned Of cruel treatment. This one said
he had been severely flogged. The general
complaint made by the convicts was that
they had been getting very little food, ex-
ceDt bread and bacon They wanted
vegetables, and complained that none had
been given them. When they had been
examined Col. Jones had them come where
he could talk TO them.

convicts taken to the correction
room and logged. Before this order
was executed the convlcts began to
plead for mercy and promised to go to

Mr.. Jones then told them that if they
would apologize to their new boss and
promise to be obedient and faithful to him
hereafter, he would pardon them and not
have them punished. The conVicts apol-

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength
and Value 20 Per Cent. Above It's
Nearest Connection,

Royal Baking Powder in Strength
and Value 20 Per Cent. Above It's
Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record Of having received the high
est award for articles of it's class-great-
est strength, purest ingredients, most
perfectly combined wherever exhibited
in competition with others In the ex-
hibitions of former years, at the centen-
NAL, at Paris, Vienna and at the various
state and industrial fairs where it has
been exhibited, judges have invariably
awarded the Royal Baking Powder the
highest honors.
AT the recent worlds fair the examina-
ton for the baking powder awards were
made by the experts of the chemical di-
vision of the agricultural department of
Washington. The official report of the
tests of the baking powders which were
made by this department. for the specific
purpose of ascertaining which was the
best, and which has been made public,
shows the leavening strength of the Royal
to be 100 cubic inches of carbonic gas per
ounce of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the fair, the
next highest in strength thus tested con-
tanned but 1873 cubic inches of leavening
gas. The other powders gave an average
of Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
of 20 per cent. greater leavening strength
than its nearest competitor and Al per
cent. above the average of all the other
tests. Its superiority in other respects,
however, in the quality of the food 1t
makes as to fineness, delicacy and whole
someness, could not be measured by fig
ures.
1t is these highest qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the country
for so many years, that have caused tn e
sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as
shown by statistics, to exceed the sales
of all other baking powders combined.

Tho First Meerschaum Pipe.

A shoemaker, Kavol Kowates, who,
in lS23, lived at Pesth, the capital OF
Hungary, smoked the first meer-
schaum Pipe. Besides being a shoe
maker, however, he was one OF
natures handicraftsmen, being gift
ed with an intuitive genius for cary
ing in wood and other material.
This brought him in contact with
Count Andrassy, with whom he be-
came great favorite.
The Count on his return from a
mission to Turkey brought with him
piece Of whitish clay, which had
been presented to him as q curiosity
on account OF its extraordinarily
light specific gravity. 1t struck the
shoemaker that, being porous, il
must be well adapted for pipes, as
it would absorb the nicotine. The
experiment was tried, and Kavol cut
Pipe for the Count and one for
himself. The first meerschaum pipe
ever made and smoked by Kavol
kowates has been preserved in the
museum at Pesth.--Echange.

when ! was at Mandan, N. D., We
had man whose memory OF car
numbers was really remarkable.
When a train whistled into the yard
he would step To the platform, and,
without book or pencil, would
stand and watch the cars go by. IL
any one was standing near he would
converse upon whatever subject oc-
Cured, and when the conversation
was ended he would step into his Of
flee and make complete and accu-
rate record OF the train, beginning
at the first car and ending with the
caboose. Sometimes, just to test
him, we would get him to begin at
the caboose and write the numbers
the other way, or else begin in the
middle Of the train and work both
ways. He never made a mistake
that ! remember. Car numbers, the
names Of the roads to which they
belonged and their relative position
in the train would all be recorded
accurately. His was the most re-
markable memory that ! ever knew
of. - H0cOndn Standard.
