company from Aiken will reach here to-
night. The 10 Greenville county com.
panies are under orders awaiting instruc-
tions TO move. The situation is very
grave. II is understood 500 citizens OF
Columbia have signed paper agreeing TO
go TO Darlington TO assist the citizens who
are after the constables.
1t is reported an attempt will he made
here on the arrival of the Newbury rilcs
to force them TO return or prevent the
trains from proceeding. Tbs city and
state dispensaries were closed to-day hy
order OF the governor, and their contents
are now being hauled to The peniren'iary
for safe keeping. The governors procla-
nation declaring Darlington and Florence
counties in insurrection, is as follows;

Judge Watts of the state supreme court
has granted an injunction against the
Western Union Telegraph company's
manager, Gray, restraining him from ac-
cepting messages for transmission on the
Darlington trouble unless sent by tho

served at o'clock. Manager Gray has
referred the matter TO tho New York
authorities, who will probably instruct
him to receive and send all messages.
The governor, il is declared, will take pos
session of the Office il the order Of Judge
Watts is not complied with.

| DARLINGTON, s. c., March 81, 0 O'Clock
p. m.--The situation here remains about
the same. no further outbreak having oc-
! Cured since last nights trouble. The
posse continues 10 scour the woods for the
escaped constables, who were responsible
for the killing of Darlington's citizens last

citizen soldiery seems To bs Timmous-
vile, small town about Sd miles
from here, as the spies are sup
posed to be lurking around there
in the swamps. Posses are guarding
every railroad station, and it Is believed
these spies are all in the country, except
| two who boarded work train and made
| for North Carolina. The posses say they
will kill any OF them on sight. Tele2rans
were sent 10 Charleston asking for blood
hounds to aid in the search, but they could
not be secured. The governor has had a
| train out As hours trying 10 get men 10 as
| sist him and protect the constables.
Mobs have destroyed the dispensa rics
at Timmonsville. Florence and ether
places in the northern part of South = -
lima, and the one at Darlington VIII snare
like fate tonight. The dispenser
Floyd was ordered by Governor Tillman
| to keep the place closed to-day, which he
| did. lie wired the governor about the
| threats made against the dispensary and
was instructed TO get the names of as
many parties making the threats as pos.
sible. II is not likely he will offer any
resistance as the feeling against the state
gin shop is high. 1t was Floyd's brother
who struck the first blow which resulted
SO disastrously yesterday. The brother
has not been seen since.
The funeral services over the remains
of A. {. Normient, one Of the citizens
slain yesterday, were conducted this after.
noon with Masonic honors. The remains
of Redmond were sent 10 North Carolina,
while those of the spy, Pepper, were sent
| 10 Charleston.
1t is authentically reported that three
spys we're captured at Sumpier at 4 o'clock
and hurried 10 Columbia for safe keeping.
1t is also reported that another spy was
captured near here. 1t is said he was
wounded in three places and was ex.
hausted when discovered. II Is thought
the posse finished him. At o o'clock to.
night the streets in this place. usually
quiet at this hour, were lively and crowds
were standing around all the public
places. 1t is quite likely the dispensary
raid will occur.
