John c. Crevier, the well known real
estate dealer of No. 81 Union street, Ho-
boken committed suicide by shooting
himself in the left temple at his office
between one and half-past one this af-
ternoon.
VIM. H. White, the Office bookkeeper,
was at lunch at the time and on his re-
turn found Mr. Crevier in his private
office lying in a pool of blood with a
revolver grasped in his right hand.
The bullet had evidently entered his
left eye and came out little above
the left temple. Crevier was breathing
heavily and medical attendance was sum-
mofed at once.
Ex-City Physician Heller and DR.. PEN
der made an examination of the wound
and said that the unfortunate man could
live but a few moments. A call was
sent for an ambulance, and the suicide
was taken to st. Mary's Hospital. where
he died few minutes after two o'clock.
HEAVY. SPECULATION.

lily lately in cotton and petroleum and it
is thought that he was unable to stand
the pressure.
He leaves wife and two daughters.
His residence is at Verona, N J., where
he lived on a magnificent estate.
AT the moment when Mr.. Crevier fired
the fatal shot he was sitting at his desk.
Immediately in front of him were ar
ranged cabinet photographs of his wife
and children.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

Our correspondent at Lowrysville
sends the following item about a well
known Negro criminal from York
county:
Matt Byers, Negro who says he is
just from the penitentiary, was before
Trial Justice Williams last Saturday on
the charge of having stolen a suit
of clothes from the op:u house of
Dave Carter, colored. He was con-
victed and sentenced to 80 days in
the Chester chain gang.
Matt Byers is the Negro who was
tried for the murder of Robert Brad
ford at Hickory Grove and acquitted.
He was afterward convicted of house
breaking and larceny and sentenced
to the penitentiary for q short term.
He is an all around bad Negro, and
when he comes back to York, as he
will most likely do as soon as he gets off
the Chester chain gang, he should be
carefully watched.

did the feeding, called the others and
left as usual, satisfied of course, that
each would get its share.
With characteristic greediness, the
four hogs that were on the ground
when the feed was first put out, pitch
ed in to eat as much as possible before
the other hogs could get chance at
it. Among other things, they gulped
down the biggest portion of the salt
that had been placed in the feed.
Within an hour afterward the four
hogs were lying around the lot dead,
and all the others are still sound and
well.
II am satisfied that the salt is what
killed them," says Mr.. McElwee. "1f
it had been properly divided among
all as was intended for, it would
have done no harm; but too much
salt will kill anything. 1t tbickens
the blood, stops the action of the
heart, and death follows in a little
while. I have been aware of this, of
course, all my life; but when l told
the boy to salt the hogs, the possibility
offour of hem getting the dose that
was intended for the whole lot, did
not occur to me-"

GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

At last a good use has been discov-
cred for the hitherto much abused and
miserable old jaybird. A reliable
gentleman of Yorkville reports that
few days ago, he saw one eating
young English sparrow, and he fur
tbermore says that he has information
from different parties, to the effect
that the jaybirds do more than any
thing else to keep the increase of the
sparrows within reasonable bounds.
The English sparrow is universally
conceded to be nuisance. He is not
only greedy, but very vicious little
scoundrel, and he has succeeded in
running nearly all other birds out of
the singing and insect destroying
business, and monopoliziDg unto HIM
self the sole privilege Of destroying
fruits and vegetables. He is regular
bully, highwayman and thief, and is
not entitled to the friendship of re-
spectacle folk who may be acquainted
with his character.
Heretofore the jaybird has had no
special claims to the good wishes of
anybody. He hasn't got much of
song. In fact he is positively tire
some, and the colored folks whisper
about him discreditable story that
may possibly be cruel slander. They
say that he repairs to a questionable
resort once a week for the purpose of
getting his head combed. But be all
this as it may, if it is true that he has
commenced to devote himself to the
destruction of English sparrows, we
are ready to place him in the list of
public benefactors. He is not only
entitled to protection from the wan
tonness of the small boy but his
monotonous song may be justly rank
ed in sweetness with that of the
mocking bird. Furthermore, if he will
just continue to put in full days the
balance of the week, we shall consent
to allow him to take his Fridays off
and agree to ask no questions as to
how he put in the time.

- The fact that the United States
court of appeals had dissolved Judge
COTS injunction in the registration
cases was announced in special dis
patch to last Wednesdays ENQUIRER.
From later reports we learn that the
court dissolved the injunction on the
ground that it had no jurisdiction.
Pope and Caldwell are of opinion that
the action of the court has no effect
on the case that is being pushed by
them. The probability, however, is
that the whole question is now practi-
cally settled and the registration law
will stand good, free from Federal in
reference. This means that only the
limited number of the Negroes who
are now registered will be able to take
part in the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention.

- Since Judge Golf has been turned
down, and the Negro question is no
longer worthy of serious consideration,
it is probably time for those who are
taking an interestin the constitutional
convention question to commence
thinking about the real issues. Among
other things that have been suggested
are the sS poll tax, the abolition of the
homestead law and the two mill school
tax, the reduction of the constitutional
area of counties, the consolidation of
the offices of auditor and treasurer,
the dispensary idea as fundamental
principle, and other schemes on ac-
count of which the politicians seem to
be unwilling to submit their work back
for review by the people.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

There is short advertisement in
another column, that contains impor-
tant information to the farmers in this
county. We refer especially to the
announcement of Mr.. J. Edgar Poag,
formerly of Rock Hill.
Mr.. Poag is in the produce commits
sion business, in Baltimore, and offers
his services in the handling of the
various products of this section. He
will receive produce of all kinds on
consignment, obtain for it the highest
market price, retain small commits
mission previously agreed upon, and
return the proceeds of the sale to the
consignee.
There are times in this section when
many of the products Of the farmers,
such as corn, wheat, oats, potatoes,
honey, chicken, eggs, hides, etc., can
find no market, or at best very in
different one, within easy reach. MIR.
Poag is located in one of the best
general markets Of the country. 1t is
his business to be up in prices, and to
at all times know where he can place
any kind of produce to the very best
obtainable figure, and the advantages
of his services to producers are obvious.
We hope that the farmers of this
section, as well as small produce deal
ers generally, will give especial atten-
ton to the advertisement of Mr.. Poag.
1t means as much for them as it does
for him, and if they will just write
him for additional information, espec-
tally when they have anything to sell,
they will no doubt be agreeably sur
prised at the result.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-06-14

-Ex-Congressman Frank Jones, of
Portsmouth, n. H., has returned from
England with the report "that because
the English wheat crop has been kill
ed, there is to be better market for
Western wheat, and consequently an
end of the free silver agitation" tits
surprising what flimsy straws politi-
clans will grab at sometimes. Eng
land does not raise much wheat any,
way, and if she should raise none at
all, it is not likely that the circum-
stance would affect the markets of the
world a half a cent a bushel. This
bright congressman may as well hold
that because the farmers Of York
county have made slight reduction
in acreage, the price of cotton next
fall will be appreciably higher.

A FLYING SQUIRREL.

Several gentlemen-two of them
from the country-were standing on
the corner talking about things in
general. The conversation turned to
the expression of views at the execu-
tive committee meeting last Monday.
One man expressed his concern as to
the danger of Negro domination, and
asked his companion a well known
farmer, for his opinion. The man who
has had considerable political expert
ence, replied:
"I'll tell you, my friend, that the
Negroes are no more dangerous now
than they have always been. That's
nothing but the talk of these politi-
clans. Lord, Lord, man, I've been
watching it all my life, and I tell you
what is fact, when you hear these
