Mr.. Turpie devoted some time to con-

cessions and forfeitures possible in the
event of the non-completion of the
canal within ten years from 1887. The
provisions regarding these matters were
exceedingly strict The concessions

Resolution in South Carolina Legislature
Creates q Breeze.

Columbia, D. G. Dec. 1S.-The dnll
routine of legislation in the house of
representatives. was broken today by
an incident that promised to create
much discord. Mr.. Magill, of Abbey
Vile, introduced resolution recitinS
that President Cleveland was in the
state and that as a proper courtesy he
be invited to visit the Legislature and
be accorded the privilege of the floor.
Several members objected to its con-
sideration and J. T. Duncan moved that
it be laid on the table as the legislature
should not ''hurrah for men for whom
it had so little respect"
Seeing a debate might be precipita-
ted that would not be creditable to the
hoa efforts were made by the more
conservative members to get Magill to
withdraw the reolution. He refused.
At last Speaker Jones hurriedly put
the question to a vote and ii went
through without a dissenting voice.
A large majority of the members are
free silver men and blame President
Cleveland for having much 10 do with
the financial stringency Of the times
When the resolution was presented
in the senate there was no debate but
when the motion to adopt was put II
was carried, two senators dissenting
without expressing their reasons.
Tonight Mr.. Duncan introduced a
resolution criticizing Cleveland as hav-
ing prostituted his high office and used
his opportunities to betray the Demo-
cratic party and repudiate its princi-
Piles. and that We record ourselves as
opposed TO the resolution passed by
this house doing honor to the greatest
party wrecker in the history Of Ameri-
can politics"
The resolution was signed by two
members and they asked that il be put
on record. The house refused TO put
il in the journal.

STORY AGAIN CoNTRAJIcTED.
Parties Met for a Quiet Little Talk on
Compromise.

Special DISPATCH to the Daily Eagle.
Pond Creek, o. T., Dec. 1S.-The spe-
cial to your paper few evenings since
in relation to the interview between
the citizens of this town and VIII
Z. Reeves. was a gross misrepresentd-
ton, and as il has been taking the
rounds of the press and somewhat
embellished in the Republic and
Globe-Democrat, we wish Ito make
come material corrections. It is gem
orally known that the quarter SeCtlcp
in dispute was filed on by Mr.. Kuntz
and contested by Mr.. Reeves, also by
the citizens. who now occupy it az
part of Pond Creek, and as it has ap-
peared to be impo ssible to get deois-
ion through the regular
channel for many months, the
citizens are anxious to have
the matter settled by compromise
and to this end a number of them met
on the afternoon referred to for con-
sultation, and decided to wait on Mr..
Reeves to get a proposition from him
hoping that all parties interested would
make such concessions as would ena-
bic them to effect an amicable settle
ment of the matter When the cltl-
Zens arrived at Mr.. Reeves house he
came out on the porch and they quiet
ly talked the mater over. Mr. Reeves
stating that he had no proposition TO
make or accept except through his at
torney, but that he would willingly
abide by his decision. This ied the
interview and the citizens quietly with
drew There were no guns fired. no
threats made, no loud or boiSterouS
talking, and no anger manifested by
either party, nor is Mr.. Reeves home
guarded, and at the present writing
he is in the enjoyment of the same
protection as given to any other good
citizen of the town
Attention is called to this matter be-
cause such reports as have appeared In
a number of the leading newspapers
brings disgrace indiscriminately upon
our citizens which they do not in the
least deserve. CITIZEN.

MUST PAY THE INSURANCE
Jury in the Fraker Case Renders a Yer
dict for the Rela,iv

Kansas City. Mo, Dec. iS.-After
three weeks consumed in its trial and
one day in argument. the jury today
in twenty-one minutes after receiving
its instructions returned a verdict in
the famous DR.. Fraker insurance case.
Il was in favor of the relatives of
Fraker, who sued five companies who
held policies on the doctors life when
he was drowned at Excelsior Springs.
Mo, July 10, 1898. The policies aggre-
gated SAG and the plaintiffs have
been granted judgment for the full
amount. The different companies and
amounts follow:
Provident Saving and Life Assurance
Society of New York, $40. CTS; Kansas
Mutual of Topeka, S10660; Hartford
Life Annuity Insurance. sls $50: Su-
preme Lodge Knights OF Pythias of
the World. 1915; Modern Woodmen OF
America, $S.1g5.
The benehciaries named in the pol
icies are two sisters OF the deceased
doctor. Mrs. Cynthia Hatfield and
Margaret Magruder of Macon county
Missouri, and six orphan nephews and
nieces living in Oregon, Washington
and California. The case has been one
of peculiar interest and has been des-
perately fought by both sides. The tri-
al has been very costly To the defense
Dr. II. c. Fraker was a physician
with a moderate practice at Excelsior
Springs. Mo. July 10. 1893 while on a
fishing trip in Missouri he slipped from
the bank and was drowned.
Not the least trace of him could be
found and his complete disappearance
being so exceptional, several Of the n
surance companies refused TO pay the
policies held by him. It was asserted
that il was a conspiracy 10 defraud
and that the doctor swan the river and
scaped in the garb of a woman. To
strengthen this theory the defense in
troduced testimony to show the doc
tor changed his sex every seven years
and had awaited such transition 20
