would have been elected TO the Constl-
tutioual Convention but for fraud IN
the last election, and repeated the re
mark. Mr.. Ke'chin was getting out
of his buggy and said that any u'an
who charged fraud at the (Winnsboro)
box was liar. Maj. Woodward asked
what did you say, and Mr.. ketcaln
repeated his remark. Maj. Wood@ard
had a walking stick in his right hand
and 3 wooden mower pitman in his left.
He advanced and bit Mr.. Ketchin with
the walking stick. Mr.. Keichln re-

He grabbed the walking stick and
ierked the piimar from Maj. Wodd-
ward. Then drawing back the pitmsn
he said 20 Mai. Woodward, "You con-
temptab'e coward, I could kill you If
I would" While he drew the pill

Mr.. Ketchin was drawn i'to the bank
and Maj. Woodward went in there
and proclaimed that he meant 10

! SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %.
The session this morning was marked
by an interesting and important debate
on the legislative department of the
Constitution.
The first discussion came mp on the
time of meeting. General Gray moved
to make it the second Tuesday in jan
uary. Mr.. E!erbe. of Marion, made
one of the strongest speeches of the
session in favor of the change. The
amendment was adopted.
Mr.. B. Il. Tillman moved to limit
the session of the legislature to 40
days, and argued strongly in favor of
that limitaiion.
General HempkiIl opposed tic mo-
ton, as did Mr.. Frank B. Gary and
others.
Mr. Sigh spoke in favor of the mo-
ton, aud Mi. George Johnstone in
opposition.
Mr.. George D. Tillmau moved to
amend, so that the limitation should
not apply to the first four sessions of
the legislature elected under the new
Constitution.
After some debate the motion as
thus amended was then adopted.
When the section as to the pay OF
the members was reached, General
Gray, of GreenVille, moved to amend
so as to make the per diem Of members
under the new Constitution 81 instead
of IS. This motion brought out much
discussion.
Mr.. Lee, of Sumter, offered an
amendment leaving the pay Of mem
bers TO be fixed by the legislature
itself. This was rejected.
Mr.. Derham, Of Horny, moved 10
pay each member an annual salary Of
$3.50, without reference to the length
of the session. After some debate,
this was lost.
There was further debate upon the
amendment offered by Gen. Gray. A
moiien 10 lay the enendmeut on the
table was lost, whereupon the further
consideration Of the matter was post
poned till Monday.

When the dispensary feature of the

The June Opera FesuvaI-shaII We

A summer season or festival OF opera
has now come to be considered quite
the thing Indeed. necessity, In all the
larger cities Of the country. Heretofore
Richmond has not been noted for the
alacrity with which her music-loving citl-
Zens have taken hold Of enterprises OF
this kind. The fault II such It may be
called, has not been because OF any lack
OF appreciation OF good opera on the part
Of our people, for. we think. It may be
truly said that Richmond is the most
musical city Of its size on the continent.
Manager Leath has decided 10 make
final and vigorous effort 10 make a
summer opera season succeed here. IL
he meets with success IL Will result In
at least one week OF this delightful
amusement during each succeeding sea-
son.
For some time he has been negotiating
with the Andrews Opera Company. He
finds he can secure the company during
the week OF June 80, but, as the com
pany is an expensive one. Its manager
declines to place IL for full week mere
unless there is some tangible assurance
that our opera-loving people will
patronize II, especially as the scale OF
prices proposed by Mr. Leath Is very
low. SO 1t Is proposed to meet the diffi-
Guilty by making an advance subscription

speaking, commutatlon-books. The season
will ia no case be extended longer than
one week. The box-office price fer all
desirable seats will be 75c. and 81. a
book containing twelve tickets will be
sold to subscribers only for 80. These
tickets are exchangeable at the box-oihce

TAYLOR FOUND GUILTY.
Sentence Delayed to Await Verdict
fu Wilde Case.


LONDON, May 2.-The trial Of Alfred
Taylor was resumed In the Old Bailey
Court this morning. Taylor was called
to the stand, and repeated the statements
made in the witness-box on his previous
trial. In reply TO questions i'm regard TO
visitors at his rooms Taylor asked to be
allowed TO write their names The judge
said: III the names are written ! will
read them aloud. / do not approve OF
mystery"
Taylor did not write the names. but men
toned a few which have already been
connected with the case. There are notable
names among them.
After the libel trial Of Wilde against
Lord Queensberry, the latter's solicitor,
he said, had asked him 20 make state
ment against Wilde. but this he had re-
fused TO do. He admitted that he had
written letter to man named Mason.

The evidence was concluded with Tay-
lor's testimony. and counsel began their
addresses TO the jury. The Judge, In
summing up the evidence, directed the
Jury TO acquit Taylor as regarded his

leaving them to decide upon the three
charges IN which Taylor was alleged 10
be directly guilty.
When the jury returned TO the court
room and had been polled, the foreman
stated that they could not agree on GER

Taylor guilty on two counts In regard TO
Charles and William Parker. Taylors

THE INCoME-FAx DECISION.
Facts About Preparation OF opin-
ions-Justice shfras-iir. Guthrie.

Facts About Preparation OF Opfn-
ions-Justice shfras-1r. Guthrie.
WASHINGTON, u. C.. May M.-Many
more OF less ingenious speculations re-
garding the history 81 the last decision OF
the Supreme Court OF the United States
upon the income-tax law have been cir
culated, and the supposed attitudes Of sew
eral Of the justices thereto at various
dates between the close OF the reargu-
ment and the reasssmbling OF the court
yesterday have been set forth with much
detail. 1t may be worth while to state
few facts concerning the decision ana the
preparation OF opinions.
There was but one formal conference by
the justices OF the court upon the income
tax law subsequent to the reargument.
This conference was held on the 18th In
slant, and there was never any doubt
after that conference as to the attitude Of
several Justices, nor as TO what the decis-
ion Of the court would be, nor as to
concurring or dissenting opinion.
The rehearing OF the case, IL is authori-
tatively learned. was brought about In
accordance with the long-settled practice
OF the court, as laid down In the case OF
Walker against the public schools of st.
Louis. one of the justices, presumably
Mr.. Shiras, who voted with the four de-
claring the law constitutional az the first
hearing, expressed desire to have the
case reargued, and communication was
then had with justice jackson to learn IL
he could sit with the court But had he
not been able 10 come to Washington the
rehearing would have been granted just
the same
The preparation of opinions was begun
at once, after the conference referred to,
and there is good authority for saying
that the opinion expressing the judgment
of the court was submitted In type 10 the
several Judges as early as last Friday.
Outside Of the action of the justices
themselves the chief credit for securing
the rehearIng Of the cases is said by those
who are acquainted with the facts TO be
due to Mr. W. ID. Guthrie. Of New York,
who opened the argument both on the
original hearing and the rehearing. When
the decision OF the court was announced
on April Srf Mr.. Guthrie was impressed
with the idea that upon a rehearng the
majority OF the court could be induced 10
declare the whole law invalid, and ne
advised that a rehearing be asked for.
IL is said that he was antagonlzed In this
by nearly all the array Of eminent counsel
engaged with him IN the case. their view
being that T. would be best TO hold TO
what they had rather than risk they
knew not what. But he pressed the mat
ter so vigorously that at last his asso-
ciates were converted TO his opinion.
