Choosing a County Seat.

Politics and hard times have been
forgotten for the time in Berkely Coun-
ty. These and other subjects which
generally engage the thoughtful atten-
tion and absorb the conversation of
the average citizen Of Berkeley have
been reIegated to the rear, and the
great topic is the new county seat.
OF course those residents who live
around the Mount Pleasant side and
are soon to become Charlestonians have
not much interest in the matter. It is
enough for them to know that within
short time they will come to form
part of the greatest county in the
State, the county which everyone is
happy to come to and loath to leave.
But with those Of the less favored area
the question of the selection Of new
county seat is OF the utmost import.
It means not only that Court House
and Jail will be built and the head
quarters Of the county of Berkeley will
be established, but it also means that
the fortunate town will be built up,
properly will be greatly enhanced in
value tbereabout aud the place will
enjoy well-developed boom.
It is altogether natural. therefore,
that each of the aspiring hamlets
within the borders Of the new county
should be making every effort for
recognition. The candidates for county
sea: honors are. New England, Pino-
polls and Macbeth New England City
is the new town laid out by certain
capitalists as. modern manufacturing
place Up to this time not many of
the factories have been started, and
the thousands of New Eoglanders have
not yet arrived, but the company has
railroad running to Monck's Corner
and expects great things in the future.
New England City offers to baild the
Court House and Jail and present
them to the county free.
Pinopolis, which is comparatively a
modest and unobtrusive village, has
long been known as a delightful
summer resort. 1t is situated on the
Berkeley Railroad. between the North
eastern Railroad and Monck's Corner,
and is thirty-six miles from Charleston
by the dirt road. Pinopolis offers to
give the land for the public buildings.
Macbeth shares the fate of Pinopolis
in being unknown to fame. 1t IS
situated in the centre Of the county,
(from east to west, is on the main line
of the Northeastern Railroad and about
the same distance from Charleston as
Pinopolis. Macbeth offers to donate
the land for the Jail aud Court House.
The Berkeley delegation has decided
to recommend Charles H Wilson. of
Goose Greek; Peter Nelson. Of St.
Johns; W. N. Jones, Of St. Stephens;
J. G. Guilds. of St. Thomas and St.
Dennis, and J N. Wilson. ofSt James,
Ssntee, as the commission to choose the
new county seat. and as soon as the
Governor appoints them things will
begin to get lively 10 earnest News

A Flagrant Spy Outrage.

and saided the grocery store of W. F.
Jordan \ we'll to do and highly respect
able merchant When they we're loot
ing the place. Mr.. Geo. S. Legare,
who is Jordan's lawyer, came down
aud attempted to see his client. The
eonstabulary arrested him, and by their
directions he was taken to the police
station in the Black Maria. Later in
the day the spies raided the grocery Of
A. G.. Nolte, 26 Vanderhorst street.
Mrs. Nolte was the only one in and
she stood at the door and forbade them
to. enter. One of the spies named
Elliott. it is said. slapped her 10 the
fsee, and the posse started to enter.
instantly, as if by magic, a body of
100 apparently respectable white men
appeared on the scene and for few
moments it looked like case Of lynch
ing. Fortunately the police station
was not far off and the chief of police
With squad Of reserves came up and
guarded the constabulary to the police
station, the crowd following. Elliott
Was subsequently served with warrant
charging him with assault and battery.
The crowd which threatened the
constables was clearly not an impromptu
mob. The quick gathering seems to
give color to a. rumor that an organiza-
ton has been formed to resist the
tyrsnnical and odious dispensary law,
aud collision is likely to occur at any
time. The constables, when they start
oat on raid, are now guarded by q
squad Of policemen. The situation is
very squally.
:. MORE Asour THE OUTRAGE.
Another dispatch to the same paper,
under the same date says: The first
riot caused by the attempt to enforce
he new dispensary law occurred to
night. A body Of five hundred angry
citizens proceeded to the lodging house
where the spies boarded, with the inten-
ton of lynching them. The police,
however got wind of the affair and the
spies got out of the way. There was q
fusilade Of pistol shots and much
excitement A citizen named Wallie
BeAanceau was wounded 10 the neck,
but not fatally. The crowd slowly
dispersed, after finding that the spies
were not at home. The feeling here is
very intense.

Senator Turpie of Indiana
Makes Personal AlIusionS.
Our Statesman" Started the Ball Rolling
and Got the Worst Of the Wordy Battle.

WASHINGTON, May l. The Democratic
side Of the senate was goaded almost TO
desperation by the exssperating prod
ding of the leaders of the opposition The
Republicans, lei by Senator Aldrich, as
sumed tAe aggressive at the outset, using
the recent newspaper reports of radical
changes agreed upon by Democrats in Sc
cret conferences as weapons with which to
harass and irritate them.
Their success was admirable. During
the day almost every pr~ninent Demo
crat on the floor was forced To defend
himself. Senator Voorhees, was finally
driven to making a statement in which
he utterly repudisted the report about
radical mod fications of the bill and de-
clared himself unalterably hostile to con-
cessions TO the protection interests, and
especially to the various trusts that are
seeking increases
Toward the end of the high-tempered
debate, which began when the senate
opened, the lie was banded with free
dom that WAS quite stsrJling In the dig
nified senate, aud the climax was reached
when Senator Turpie of Indiana launched
a terrific assault of most personal char
acter against Senator Aldrioh.
When Mr.. Turpie sat down there was
hush upon the chamber. Every one was
amazed at the personal character OF the
attack upon Senator Aldrich. Then all
eyes were turned on the Rhode Island
senator. He arose slowly and said:
I'm the position the senator from In
diana now takes" he said, slowly and
deliberately. he speaks for no one but
himself. Under other circumstances and
conditions do not believe he would have
made the speech he has made" The
senate and the galleries were left to place
their own construction upon this state
ment Mr.. Aldrich took his seat and the
incident closed without another word.
The house finally concluded its consid-
GRAFTON of the army appropriation bill
and passed IL. The resignation Of Repre-
sentative Caldwell Of Ohio was laid be-
fore the house. Almost the entire day
was devoted To amendments OF an unIm-
portant character. and at $40 the house

Not a Mystery Now.
A COW belonging to Preserved Arnold
died the other day. The animal had been
sick for long time and various veter-
inaries had endeavored to locate the seat
of the trouble, but were unsuccessful. Mr..
Arnold was so anxious TO learn the cause
of death that he had an examination
made. In one OF the lungs was found a
glove buttoner, deeply imDedded, which
caused the death.
The other articles found in the stomach
were gold ring, that had been lost by
farm hand more than a year ago, a staple
three inches long, pieces of wire and
crockery, tacks and many other strange
articles.
Ii is needless 10 say that there is now
no doubt existing as TO the cause OF the
cows death.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Lothrop's Grand Opera Rouse.

The attraction at the Opera House this
week is a very strong one. Miss Ethel
Tucker, supported by an excellent COM
pany, appears in "Queena," a society
drama Of more than ordinary merit, and
gives a finished and highly satisfactory
Interpretation OF a capital play. The part
OF "Queena," which Miss fucker assumes,
Is an emotional one, calling for ability OF
very high order for its proper rendering,
and finds in the ladya most capable ex-
ponent. Involving the portrayal of
thrilling situations, and the deyelopm ent
of insanity as the result OF terrible men.
tai suffering, 1t is yet wholly free from
overWrought or unnatural exsggerations
and, as given by Miss Tucker, is a clean
cut and beautifully finis he'd piece OF most
admirable acting. Without rant or
stralning for effect, 1t holds the closest
attention OF the audience, and appeals to
every heart for sympathy and pity
for noble woman borne down By a
terrible sorrow. IL Is one OF the best
pieces OF work seen at the Opera House
during the present season. Lord Walter
Huntington, the husband OF the heroine,
IL in most excellent hands, and j. Francis
Kirke wins new laurels by his conception
OF part that requires careful study and
great skill for its successful rendering.
MissNina Savlle Is very good as Mrs. Mont
rose, and makes the most of her oppor-
tunity, and the same may be said OF Miss
Grace Hamilton In the than kless role OF
Alice st. Clair. Miss frankie st. John
wins her audience from her very first APP
pearance, and her Florence Nightingale
Fletcher is gem.
Her lover, John Henry Wilkins, is a
trump, and J. l.. Byrne plays II for all II
is worth. When he wins the game every
body is glad. The other parts are In ca
pable hands, and the whole performance
Is good one. IL Is we'll staged, the cos
tunes OF the ladies are very beautiful,
two or three OF the tableaux are fine and
one OF them IL exquisite, and the play
holds the attention OF the sudience from
the opening scene To the falrof the cur
tain. People who are fond OF good act
Ing cannot fail OF being pleased with
"Queena" as given this week at Lothrop's
Grand Opera House.
Kehh's Opera House.
George Thatcher and his company OF
comedy enterta liners In "Airica" were
greeted by a large audience at Keith's
Opera House last evening. DR.. Medicus
in the hands OF George Thatcher Is still
the mainstay OF the comedy element, and
his inimitable style Is considerably en-
hanced by refreshing departures from
time worn Jokes and parodies. John A.
Coleman Is again seen as the would-be
African explorer, and his clever dancing
and speclalties are enjoyed and appre-
ciated as ever.
X. J. Jose, the famous tenor, sang sew

insane asylum at Danvers until recently,
is said to have been treated there with
the crossed cruelty. She was sent to the
asylum from Swampscott on April 81
The following Sunday. her sister, Mrs
Stokes, went to see her. She found her
sister marked with big black and blue
bruises, and her right hip, from her waist
down, was a mass OF raw flesh. The
afflicted woman said the attendant lad
flogged her and otherwise maltreated her
The attendant claims she was injured by
falling against an iron bedstead. Mrs
Stokes took her sister home the next day
and her friends claim that the asylum
people have either been guilty OF gross
cruelty or objectionable negligence
There will probably be an investigation
of the matter.
