A Qualification Refused.

CHARLESTON. June 27.-Judge 81
monton entered a formal order of rec
ord in the United States Circuit Court
here today in the Donald liquor case,
refusing to modify the injunction or
der in the Donald case, and refusing
to suspend it until hearing an appeal
by the Supreme Court of the United
States; and affirming the former posi-
ton of the court that all persons in
the State of South Carolina can now
import into the State beers, ales, wines
and spirituous liquors for their own
use and will be fully protected by the
court in the exercise of this adjudged
legal right to bring liquor into the
State for their own use. Chief State
Constable Holley has filed an affidavit
in the court in which he ''disclaims
any intention to wilfully disobey any
order of the court or defy or show
contempt for its authority. The as
sistant Attorney General OF the State,
speaking for the Attorney General,
having assured the bench and the pub
lie in open court, that no liquors here
after imported by any citizen into the
State for personal use will be seized
by the State constables, the citizens of
the State may now continue to exer-
else this right without fear of any
molestation or hindrance whatever.
Under the circumstances, this would
appear to be a golden opportunity for
dealers to advertise their goods IN the
South Carolina newspapers.

4 Bad Woman.

ATLANTA, Ga, June pa special
from Cochran. Ga. to the Constitu-
ton says that Mrs. VIM, Noble paid
a negro $40 to kill her husband. The
body was buried by the woman, the
negro, Gus Jones, and her two daugh-
ters. They have all been arrested and
the negro has confessed. Mobiles was
an old farmer of Twiggs County: lie
and his wife often quarrelled. When
the body was found Mrs. Mobiles said
We'll, murder will out, and Id just
as we'll tell to the straight oft. They
can't do anything but hang me or
send me to the penitentiary, and either
is better than living with man you
have to quarrel and fuss at all the
time" Mrs. MOBILES said that she for
got to retract her offer for the death of
her husband, and was very sorry
when she learned that Gus had killed
him. She knew, however, that she
was responsible for the crime. The
negro Gus is said to have also made
his confession without much hesitancy.
His story comedies with that Of Mrs.
MOBILES, except that he declares that
the murder was committed behind the
barn and three licks caused the death.
One of these was struck by Mrs Mobiles
herself.

Kin by lightning.

SOCIETY HILL, Darlington County,
June 24.-Tom Davis, young man
about 20 years old, and Geo. Edwards,
about 25, were killed by lightning
Saturday afternoon about five miles
from this place. The latter leaves a
wife and two children. 1t appears
that the two men had started on a trip
10 Chesterfield County on business,
and stopped at the house OF Mr.. J. w.
Edwards, their cousin. for refuge
from the approaching thunderstorm.
While standing under shelter adjac-
ent to the house, in the presence of
Mr.. Edwards and family, the two
men were killed instantly, and Mr..
Edwards, his wife and two children
were severely shocked.

platforms instead Of projecting beyond
the body of the locomotive, as with
the steam locomotive. The wheels are
about the size of the largest wheels
used on the steam cars, but the axles
are considerably heavier to withstand
the strain of the electric gearing.
Until the capacities Of the motors
are fully ascertained it is not known
how many cars will be run on train.
1t is expected, however, that trains
will have from four to nine cars, as
occasion may require.
The Nantasket branch was chosen
for the experiment for the reason that
within its limits are condensed most
of the difficult problems which will
have to be determined to make elec-
tricity successful substitute for steam.
The curves are many and sharp and
the grades steep. Trains will be run
with great frequency in the seven
miles between Old Colony House sta
ton and Pemberton. Sun.

THE GIFT ACCEPTED

1IIE N1r -ASNEsI AI-D.
On behalf of the board of trustees Of
the college the gift was accepted by
w. y. Clark, Esq, of this city, a mem
Der of the class of 1862. Mr.. Clark
made an eloquent speech. He referred
to the proud record of the old institu-
ton and to the character of the men
who had left its walls. He said the
second chapter in her history was the
period from 1866 to 1890. Since then
it had resumed its old name and was
entering upon a more brilliant career,
governed by the Golden Rule, duty to
God and duty to man. On behalf of
the board of trustees he was authorized
to receive the memorial of the honored
dead. 1t would be treasured and hung
upon the walls of the deceased's alma
mater, where it could be viewed by
those who would be the heroes of the
third chapter of the histor," of the
South Carolina College.
THE ANNUAL GRAFTON.
The annual Grafton before the gradu-
ates was then delivered by the Hon.
Eugene B. Gary of Abbeville, associate
Justice Of theS State Supreme Court. He

propriate:

mencement exercises of 1895 were at
end.

a Fri~htful Wreck,

EDGEFIELD. June 25.-A fearful
wreck occurred on the Cumberland
Gap Road, between this point and
Pittsburg, two miles from town, at s
o'clock this morning, resulting in the
death of Brakeman Hugh Weatherford
and Albert Brunson, negro employee
at the rock quarry, the terrible if otfa-
tai scalding Of Engineer J. R. Parker
and his fireman, w. H. Cherry, the
serious, though not fatal scalding and
injury OF Wallace Holloway, a negro,
and slight injuries to assistant Con
ductor +. II. Tompkins. Engine No
6, used to haul loaded flats of rock
from the quarry to the main track,
was returning to town for water, hav-
ing on board the parties; after going a
mile she jumped the track running on
the crossties and the ground for dis
tance of eighty yards and finally fall
ing over an embankment Of fifteen
feet high, landing upside down.
Weatherford and Tompkins were on
the COW catcher. The latter was
thrown some thirty feet from the en-
CINE. The former was caught and
buried under it, as was the negro who
was killed. 1t took more than two
hours to extricate the bodies, which
were fearfully mangled. Mr. Parker
and Cherry remained in the cab Of the
engine from which they managed to
crawl, not, however, until their en-
tire bodies had been horribly scalded.
They were brought to town at once
and received medical attention. The
reason for the casualty is attributed to
two causes: One that spikes were
placed on the rail, causing the engine
to leave the track; the other that the
track fared. An inquest was held
over the dead bodies, and after hearing
testimony the jury returned verdict
to the effect that the parties came to
their death on account of the wreck,
which was caused by spikes being
placed on the track by party or par
ties to the jury unknown. Mr.. Wealth
erford was native of Aiken and had
come over to take the place of his
brother, this being his first run on the
road.

"a lady came into the car and took a
seat directly in front of me. It proved
to be the mother of the Rev. John
Lake. The Rev. John Lake, who was

begged them not to have a disturbance
there while lady was in the car. His
entreaties were effective and most Of

lie replied: Il believeif had lifted
my hand to resent any insult would
have been murdered. Itwas perfectly
apparent that their object was to pro
woke me to strike the first blow. At
the depot i. was evidently their pur
pose to strike the blow themselves.
Did any one advise you OF your
danger"
Eyes, several times persons warned
me to leave the streets as soon as pos
siblc, or there would be bloodshed, and
I was also advised to leave Edgefeld
under cover of night by a country
road!"
Colonel, did you expect to leave
Edgefeld unhurt2"
II had no hope that I would even
leave the town without receiving bodi-
ly injury.
do you think the attempt to mob
you was premeditated,'
Evidently, it was pccconcerted,
cold-blooded, deliberate affair from
first to last and the honor they seemed
to covet was that / should die in Till
mans county.
Every friendly word that was
spoken to me brought down upon the
persons speaking denunciations Of the
vilest character.
The town seemed to be absolutely
helpless in the grasp of the mob. No
friendly hand was raised in my de-
fense, because to do so would have re-
suited in violence and bloodshed."

Nearly Sunk by Whales.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-Capt.
Mitchell, of the steamer tug Thomas
J. Smith, which arrived here recently
from sea, having in tow the bone-laden
Italian bar Ored. from Buenos Ayers,
which she picked up to the southwark
of Fenwicks Island, reports having
been attacked by a tremendous school
of whales at11 O clock in the morning
on Monday last while cruising
southeast of cape Henlopen. The
whales surrounded the tug for a period
of four hours, blowing large streams
of water into the air, which
completely shut out all views
Of the Surroundings. Capt. Mitchell
says thatin thirty years service at sea
on tugs he never before saw such
large whales, nor were they ever
known to congregate in suchnumbers
so close to land.
1t was serious time on board the
frail tug. and all hands were badly
scared, as these monsters seemed ln-
furiated and dashed along the sides Of
the boat with great force. Capt. Nit
chell ran the engines fnlIspeed and at
tempted to get clear of the school, but
the huge animals followed the tug,
almost swampin@ her with the inn
mense volumes of water they threw
on board.
Finding that any attempt to get away
from them was futile, Capt. Mitchell
loaded up a large horse pistol he had
on board and began firing into them,
but the bullets took no effect. One
monster he put six shots into, but 1t
only infuriated the animal still more.
1t was about 80 clock III the afternoon
when the leader Of the school headed
OIL shore. and soon the whole number
followed and disappeaed.
