A SCHOONER OF WHlSKEY.
a Ship Load of Savannah Whiskey Seized
by the Police.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 27.-The
police department, acting in conjunc-
tin with the State constabulary, seized
yesterday morning the schooner Caro-
lima loaded with twenty-eight barrels
of whiskey. The liquor seized is prob
ably worth $1,000, and the value of
the schooner, which will be held un-
der Section SO of the dispensary law,
is worth probably as much again. The
details of the seizure and subsequent
proceedings are interesting and are as
follows:
Information having reached the au-
thorities that one or more schooners
loaded with contraband liquor were
expected to arrive in Charleston, the
State constables, under Chief Holley,
and the police, under Chief Martin,
were on the lookout. AT about $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning Sergts.
Quinn and McCatfery, of the police
force, on watch along the east river
front, discovered a small schooner
coming quietly up to Palmetto wharf.
She came in, lowered her sails and
made fast. Her movements and the
fact of her coming up to a wharf at
that hour gave the officers clue, and
in very few minutes they hailed
her.
The captain was at first inclined to
be troublesome, but the sergeants soon
showed him that they meant business
and boarded her at once. Word was
at once sent to headquarters and Chief
Martin, Lieut.. Mollenhauer and sew
eral men repaired to the scene. Chief
Constable Holley was not far off and
was shortly on the wharf. The schoon-
er was found to be the Carolina and
the cargo consisted of twenty-eight
barrels Of whiskey. The captain, j..
e. V. Jervey, his son, J. E. V. Jervey,
Jr., and colored deck hand, named
Henry Gardner, were put under ar
rest, and as soon as daylight made it
practicable the cargo was unloaded.
The barrels were, with three or four
exceptions marked "vinegar,' and the
revenue stamps had been covered by
pasting over them pieces of white pa,
per- A few barrels were not marked
and the stamps not covered.
The Carolina is two-masted schoo-
ner about sixty feet long, of substan-
tlal build. SHE has been engaged IN
the coasting trade for some years and
is owned principally in Charleston.
She left Savannah Saturday morning.
The whiskey, which Chief Constable
Holley estimated to be worth $500,
was sent to the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad depot for shipment
to Columbia and the captain and crew
of the Carolina were taken before
Justice Rouse on warrant served by
Constable Levy, charged with violat-
inc Section 80 of the dispensary law.
They gave bond of $500 each for their
appearancc when desired and were
released. The Carolina, however, is
held by the authorities and will prob,
ably be advertised as contiscated and
for sale in few days. The section
under which the Carolina is held re-
fers to seizure of vehicles or any means
used in transportation of contraband
liquors. News and Courier.

Burned in Their Beds.

HADAM, Conn.,, March 1.-Persons
on the way to church Sunday night
made a horrible discovery, about a
mile back of the village Of Middle
Hadam, at what is lcalled Hogs Hill.
For some thirty years Thomas Cava-
naugh, an industrious farmer, has
lived in little story and half house
with his wife. The church goers were
mortified to see the house a mass Of
ruins. A search was begun, and the
body of the man was found almost
unrecognizable. Nearby was found a
pelvic bone, all that remained of the
woman. From the location it was de-
cided that the couple who were about
60 wears old were burned in their beds.

A Chance for q Hanging.

COUNCIL, BLUFFS, Ia, Feb. 2S.-
Deputy Sheriff O'Brien, who was shot
by the Griswold bank burglar, is very
low, and slight hopes are entertained
of his recovery. The, authorities have
identified Smith, the wounded robber
captured. He is Cad Mcguire of
Omaha. Riley, the robber who shot
O'Brien and then escaped, is the son of
O'Connor of Omaha, his right name
being Charley O'Connor. The auth
critics are hot on O'Connor's trail and
expect to capture him before night.

Philosophic Prince Kung.

LONDON, Feb. PA Central News
dispatch from Pekin says that an in
terview was obtained with Prince
Kung at the close of the meeting of the
privy council in that city, his fellow
councillors remaining and acquiescing
in what the Prince said. Prince Kung
remarked that Japan had seized Corea
and made the Corean troubles a pre-
text for war. The dispute, however,
could easily have been settled peacea-
bly,. He admitted that China had
faults; that the war had been managed
unwisely and that some of her officers
were unfit and incompetent. For
these disadvantages China must suf
fer. He expressed himself as ignorant
of what Japan wanted or why She was
fighting. Upon being told that Japan
probably wanted possession of the ter
ritory she had conquered, together
with 400,000,000 taels indemnity,
Prince Kung said he questioned very
seriously whether it wonld be possible
for her to make such claim, adding:
China stands upon principle and ia
pan upOll power. Culud KNOWS IlldI
she is weak from military point of
view and has. therefore, concluded
that her only option is to sue for peace
and she has sent ENJOYS for that pur-
pose To consult with representatives of
Japan and to agree to pay indemnity.
China's purpose is sincere. If Japan
will meet her in a friendly spirit the
conclusion of peace will be possible.
If her demands are exorbitant China
will continue to fight. Replying to
the suggestion that China must expect
continued defeats, Prince Kung put
these queries: "Can Japan overrun all
our provinces?" "Will Heaven per-
NIT it2" will the other nations &C.
quiesce in it?" IF China is wrong"
he concluded, "she is willing to suf-
fer" The foregoing utterances of
Prince Kung undoubtedly express
the general sentiment of the council.
1t was the Dowager Empress and
Prince Kung who nominated Ii Hung
Chang as peace envoy, the other mem
bers of the council agreeing to the ap-
pointment.

NO COTTON OPTION.
Rates for Fertilizers Payable in Cotton
Only, in October.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 2s.--All the
railroad freight magnates were here
yesterday and appeared before the
State railroad commission, in regard to
the matter of the proposed reduction in
the fertilizer rates. Among those pres
ent were Messrs. Sol Haas, j. D. Drake
and Culp of the Southern system; T.
M. Emerson of the Atlantic Coast Line !;
f. P. McSweeney of the Charleston
and Savannah; L. a. Emerson of the
South Carolina and Georgia; w. j.
Craig of the Port Royal and Western
Carolina, and H. G. Beattie.
There was a long and exhaustive
discussion of the why's and where
fores, the railroad men showing from
their standpoint the injustice of any re-
duction at this time. Most of the rail
road men presented written argu-
ments and statements of great
force. Inasmuch as it seemed
to be the desire of the railroad men
and the commissioners to exclude the
representatives of the press so much so
that they were excluded-The State
though knowing all that was said on
both sides, does not care to give the
arguments. 1t is only necessary tosay
that the showing made was unanswer-
able. The commission has taken no
action. It will remain in session sew
ernl days. -,
In this connection it might be men
toned that the cotton option" de-
mand made by the farmers on the fer
tilizer manufacturers does not seem to
be needed. All remember the terms
of the demands made by the recent
convention. 1t will be interesting to
compare those terms with the follow
ing arrangement made by the Alliance
exchange with nearly all the Charles
ton companies, which has just been
announced. 1t will be easily seen that
the two are most materially different.
Here is the announcement of the ex-
change:
We quote fertilizers, per ton, in car
load lots, f. o. b. Charleston, S. g., to
be paid for on or by October, Is, 1895,
in middling lint cotton, as follows:
Dissolved bone, per tom. .1S5 lbs
Acid phos. Il to 2 per cent. pot .
| aSh)... ...I9o
Kainit. 200
Guano q to d per cent?. 1926
Guano 81 to 3 per cent? ..... ..335
The company will prepay and carry
freight at the rate of s per cent. per
annum, charging the number of
pounds of cotton as 5 will 60 into the
freight:and interest. To illustrate: If
the freight is So and the interest say Is
cents, the total will be 1915, and 5 into
this will 60 rs times, or Is more
pounds of cotton will be added to the
above prices to pay the freight and in
terest. The cotton is to be middling lint
and to be delivered on or before Octo-
ber Is, in good marketable condition
at the station where the fertilizers were
received unless otherwiee agreed upon.
It is to be middling, according to the
Charleston exchange classification and
upon actual weight by sworn weighers
at the time of delivery. All grade be-
low middling will have to be made
good and none below good ordinary
will be received except by special
agreement. This is not cotton op-
ton" but cotton trade, and if you
buy for cotton you must pay in cotton
and nothing else.

INTELLIGENCE OF HORSES.
nany Are of tho Opinion That . Horse
Nav Weep.


| tany Are of tho Opinion That . Horse
May Weep.
Do horses weep? is a question dis
cusssd by the Admiralty and Horse
Guards Gazette. 1t tells US that there
is Observation-Disclosures case of a horse
| weeping during the Crimean war. On
the advance to the heights of Alma, a
battery of artillery became exposed to
the fire of concealed Russian battery,
and in the course Of a few minutes it
was nearly destroyed. men and horses
killed and wounded, guns dismounted
and lhnbers broken; solitary horse,
which had apparently escaped unhurt,
was observed standing with fixed gaze
upon an object close beside him; this
turned out to be his late master, quite
dead. The poor animal, when trooper
was dispatched to recover him, was
found with copious tears flowing from
his eyes; and it was only by main force
that he could be dragged away from
the spot, and his unearthly cries to get
back to his master were heartrending.
Apropos of the intense love that cavalry
horses have for music, a correspondent
of the Gazette writes that when tho
Sixth dragons recently changed their
quarters a mare belonging to one Of
the troopers was taken SO i'll as to be
unable to proceed on the journey the
following morning. Two days later
another detachment of the same regi-
ment, accompanied by the band, ar
rived. The sick mare was in a loose
box, and, making her way through the
shop Of tradesman, took her place in
the troop before she was secured and
brought back to the stable. But the ex-
element had proved too great, and the
subsequent exhaustion proved fatal.
