THE sTRAYEp REvELER.

As she fees up the mountain side
The valley is astir
With gay companions racing wido
In vain pursuit of her.
In every tangled copse they seem
To see her streaming hair,
And where the wild white lilies gleam
Her face lily there.
But, laughing. hand to side to still
The beating OF her heart.
Tiptoe upon the lonely hill
She stands, with lips apart.
The gay rout passes. and there falls
A silence in the place.
Again the cuckoo softly calls,
The watchfu1 squirrels race.
Then, like a sigh among the trees,
A wind is softly heard,
And, like leaf blown down the breeze,
There darts songless bird.
For one swift moment then she slips
Into a world apart
She thinks of mold upon her lips
And dust about her heart.

SeYenty.FIVe Killed.

BUTTE, MONT, January 15.-During q
fire at the Montana Central railroad yards
this evening, several cars of powder
caught fire and exploded, killing num-
ber of firemen and spectators, and maim-
ing many others. Several men are
known to have been killed outright.
There were three separate explosions,
the first two breaking nearly every win
dow within radius oftWo miles. Owing
to the excitement, the extent Of the
casualties cannot be ascertained. The
fire attracted large crowd, and hun
dreds were standing near when the first
explosions occurred. Men and women
we're moved down like grass before q
sickle, but many are stunned by the
force of the explosion.
Debris from cars and adjoining build
ings was scattered high in the air for half
mile away, many Of the flying articles
striking people in the crowd. Every
ambulance, vehicle and doctor in town
was soon on the scene, carrying off the
dead and wounded.
The ground was strewn like field oi
battle with the injured and dead.
Owing to the fact that there were still
several cars of powder on the track, and
the report that one of the burning ware
houses also contained quantity Of pow
der, few dared after the first explosion to
venture to the assistance of the injured.
When they did, they were met by the
second explosion like raking fire from
an army. The second was soon followed
by the third, and the heavens were light
ed with flame. The reports were heard
and the shock felt for miles. After the
third explosion, the hospital corps and
the police began the work Of picking up
the dead and caring for the wounded.
Fifteen dead bodies were piled together,
many of them being msngled to such an
extent that they were not identified in
the excitement. Every house in the
vicinity was turned into hospital.
The scene after the explosion was
beyond all description. Men and women
wrung their hands and cried in agony.
It is said that every fireman was either
killed or fatally wounded. 1t is believed
that the number of dead will reach al
least seventy five.

Down to Forty.two Men.

COLUMBIA, Jan. T.-Governor Evans
spent most of the day giving directions
to the Chief Con pstables and arranging for
the reorganization of the force. He now
thinks he has everything ready for the
satisfactory enforcement Of the law. He
said that be had just cut the constabulary
force down to forty-one mon, who, to-
gether with the two chiefs, would make
up the entire force. This would remain
the same unless there was some special
occasion for an increase of the force, and
he did not now see any such possibility.
The plan Of organizing police force out
of the constabulary was perfected. Chief
Constable FAINT is to be placed In charge
of the division above the Charlotte, CO.
lumbia and Augusta Road and Chief
Holley was to be in charge of the division
south OF that line.
Mr.. Holley would 60 back to Charles
ton and Mr.. FAINT would no doubt make
his headquarters in Columbia. All OF
the men would be required to make at
seizures, raids and everything else to the
Chief of their division. The chiefs would
be directly responsible for the move
ments and conduct of the men and upon
their concentrations such changes as
chiefs are authorized to appoint their
lieutenants and to make such arrange
ments as they considered would increase
the efficiency Of the force.
The Chiefs have been instructed to pay
their entire attention to the incoming Of
liquor by any kind of conveyance, and If
they should chance. to run up on such
thing as "blind tiger' to report it, to the
mayor Of the town and have him do the
prosecuting. If, however, the local au-
thorities did not effect the eradication OF
the "blind tiger'' the matter was to be
reported to the Chief, who in turn would
report it to Governor Evans, who would
take such action as was deemed advisa-
BILE. Governor Evans thinks that this
will be all that he can do for the present.
Commissioner Traxler was provided
with list of the Constables who were
removed at this mornings conference in
order that they might be advised they
were no longer needed.-,Special to Neus
and Courier.

As an instance Of the difference be"
tween the old slavery days farming and

modern methods and improved machin~
cry in the South, the following illustra.
ton is given: G. T. Douglass, younl;
farmer of Mecklenburg County, N. c.,
in 1893, planted thirteen acres Of land in
cotton and harvested six bales by the old
method Of farming. Last year he planted
three acres of the same land in cotton
with the purpose of cultivating it Sin
tensely" as an experiment. Result: !:
On three of the thirteen acres, which
yielded him but five bales Of cotton tho
year before, he harvested four bales OF
cotton. Difference: Under the old sys-
tenn Of cultivation his land raised less
than one-half bale of cotton to the acre ;
under the improved methods it raised
one and one-third bales. This practice OF
"intense' farming is rapidly spreading,
and the tendency is decidedly towards
smaller and better cultivated farms.

This discovery Is rapidly transferring the
stock raising industry from the North

Politics In Black PuIpits,

COLUMBIA, s. c., January 2O.-Cotton
mills and the Constitutional Convention
now seem to be the chief subjects of dis
oussion in the towns. The question OF
what to plant and do on the farm for the
year is no doubt far more absorbing with
the agricultural population. Whatever
may be the subject Of discussion among
the Democratic people, it is evident that
the Republican hosts are putting their
machine. !, in operation with the intention
of making the very best fight that thoy
can in the matter of the Constitutional
Convention. The Republican forces real
ganization, and no doubt that is the rea-
Son why they have started the ball rolling
30 early In the year.
Perhaps the most eventful and impor-
tant phase Of this Republican action is
the call of the ministers fer Convention
and the expressions contained in the call.
When the colored minister takes an
active hand in political matters he gener-
ally makes it an important part of his
work, and from the tone of the circular
1t would appear that the colored minis
ters intend to be up and doing.
This morning q representative Repub-
lican was asked how many Republicans
would be registered under the provisions
of the call for the Convention. He
thought that thiI ty thousand more voters
would be added to the Republican
strength-that is if they are allowed to
register, he parenthetically remarked.
AS to how many Republicans are now
qualified to vote he said it was impossi-
bic to tell. One noteworthy feature Of
the Republican organization is the fact
that nothing is said about the selection or
election of delegates to the Convention.
The only action that gives any indica-
ton of being directed by other than Re-
publican forces is the call for meeting
of the Democratic executive committee
(the Irby committee) for the 5th of Feb
ruary. It is not stated what the purpose
OF the call is, but it is very likely to con-
slider the Constitutional Convention. Mr..
Brayton, who seems to be something OF
leader in the Convention Of Republic
cans called to meet here on the 9Th, said
that assurance had been received that the
Convention would be largely represented.
He had no idea what would be done.
The Republican forces seem to be put
ting good deal Of faith in the pending
contests, and think that those who have
contests are playing in peculiar luck.

A College Building on Fire.

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 1S.-About
$50 oclock this morning the Columbia
Female College building, one of the old
est and most thoroughly equipped college
structures in Carolina, was discovered to
be on fire. The building was damaged
to the amount Of S., 900. The fire origi-
mated in the roof over the fourth floor
dormitory of the western wing and was
difficult for the fremen to get at. It il
supposed to have been caused by defec-
tive fue and to have been burning dur
ing the night. It had great headway
when discovered.
The young ladies-over one hundred
of them-were at "morning study" in
the chapel. When the alarm was sound
ed there was Consideration, but the girls
were not panicky. Many of them lost all
of their wardrobes, jewels, watches and
other effects. They were all got out Of
the structure and the citizens hastened to
throw open their homes to them. They
are all quartered tonight in private resi-.
dences in Columb bia. The firemen fought
the flames for two hours and half before
they extinguished the fire. The build.
ing was insured for $27, 900 and the furni.
ture for 81. 500.
