CAPTURED For Texae.

Mr.. John HI. Maloney, the dele
gate from the San Antonio Electro
cal Workers union to the National
convention of United Brotherhood
Electrical workers of America, re-
Gently held in Washington, D. c.,
returned yesterday afternoon and
brings the goods news that he Sc
cured the next convention for San
Antonio, to begin the second Mon
day in November, 1897. Mr.. Ma
loney informed reporter for the
LIGHT that Governor Culberson's
cordial telegraphic invitation and
q warm letter from John A. Lee,
the president of the National L. p.
A., greatly aided him in securing
the convention. The Buffalo dele
cation also capped the strong
speech made by moving "Let's all
go Texas" and the motion carried
with a rush.
Mr.. Maloney during his stay in
Washington was known only as
"Texas," and although he tried to
disguise himself in a swallow tail
coat and plug hat, he was unable
to dodge the nickname. He was
honored by being elected second
vice-president of the National
Brotherhood, and member Of the
Executive Board.

Stuart Robson's New Play.

The scene of the new play "Gov-
eminent Acceptance" (which Stuart
Robson will present at the Grand
Opera house on November 70 and
30, matinee Thursday is laid in
Washington. 1t contains much
polite satire at the expense Of con.
gressmen and congressional COM
mittees. Mr.. Robson assumes the
character of a young society man,
who has devoted his four years at
college to the study of electricity,
much to the disgust of his family.
His electrical knowledge is ridi-
culed by his kinsman, but finally,
when, through force of circum-
stances he is obliged to depend up
on that knowledge for a living, it
appears then less in the light of a
hobby than at first. He finally
invents a man-'o-war which brings
him fame and fortune. The invent
or's den and the model Of the ves-
sci are pictures new to the stage,
and are not only interesting but
beautiful withal. The stealing of
an important piece Of mechanism
from the model Is close touch up
on the melo-dramatic and the
inventors efforts to extricate him.
self from his almost hopeless
dilema, is watched with breath
less interest. There is a beautiful
love sentiment running through
the play. also three comedy under
plots.

More Trouble at the Ferry-Hindrance of

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ETA JANE, April 30.-Last Satur-
day evening, about sundown, as Mr.. j.
G. Wallace was crossing at Howell's
ferry, his horse jumped out Of the fiat
into the river. The animal took down
the stream, wading where he could
and swimming where it was necessary.
He went about mile below the ferry,
followed by men in a batteau and on
the bank, trying to get him stopped.
He crossed and re-crossed the river
perhaps a score of times, during the
time they were trying to get him out.
Sometimes he would turn and 60 up
stream for considerable distance, and
then 20 first to one bank and then to
the other, keeping out of reach of his
pursuers in the batteau. Finally, R.
A. Foster, H. B. Mcdaniel, and Wylie
Edwards, succeeded in getting him out
in state of complete exhaustion, af
ter he had been in the river about sew
ell nOuTS.
Farmers are being hindered now by
the wet weather. All ours plows have
stopped. The rain has been general,
and its effect is plainly to be seen on
all kinds of vegetation.
The communion meeting will begin
at Salem church next Saturday, at
$50 o'clock p. m. The Lords supper
will be celebrated on Sunday, May 5th.
Politics are lying very low just at
this time. Hope they will remain so.

KILLED IN A FAMILY ROW.

Frank Moore, a 12-year-old Negro
boy, and his half sister, Mary Walker,
presented themselves at the Jail at
about II o'clock last Tuesday night
and called for the sheriff. The woman
did most of the talking. She said that
the boy had killed his step-father,
John Newton, with rock, and wanted
to give himself up. The sheriff took
the boy in charge, and learning on fur
ther inquiry that the body Of Newton
was lying in the road at the scene Of
the killing four miles east of Iorkville,
sent for Trial Justice Carroll to go
and hold an inquest.
In company with Sheriff Crawford.
Deputy Sheriff Scoggins and Mr.. A. F.
Mcconnell, Trial Justice Carroll, next
morning, proceeded to the vicinity
of White Hill colored church, the
point to which be had been directed,
and found the body of Newton lying in
the road, face upward, a short distance
from the house of Frances Newton, his
wife. On the floor of the house near
by, were blood stains, and lying around
somewhat promiscuously, was fire
shovel, poker, smoothing iron, and
a big stone weighing about Is OF 90
pounds, and all more or less smeared
with blood. The whole vicinity show
ed evidences of desperate struggle,
and how the deceased came to his
death was, in a general way, a pretty
plain story.
A jury of inquest was impaneled
with MIR. A. F. Mcconnell as foreman,
and the tragedy was investigated as
thoroughly as possible, without devel-
oping a great deal of satisfaction. The
main witnesses, four in number, were
participants in the killing, and their
stories were all TO about the same ef-
feet, as follows:
Frances Newton, Mary Walker,
Lou McCarter, Frank Moore, and
Rena Moore, were sitting in Frances
Newton's house. At about 10 o'clock
there was slight rap on the door.
No attention was paid to the rap, and
it was several times repeated. Finally,
one of the women opened the door,
and John Newton stepped into the
room. He had in his band short
piece of iron pipe, and with it he struck
one of the women on the side of the
head. This started the row. 1t is

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
CLARK's FORK, April 30.-During
the favorable weather, farmers of this
section pushed their work with great
vigor, and most of them are through
planting.
Corn that was planted a month ago
in the bottoms, looked for while as
if it was not going to come up; but
since the recent rains, it has COM
menced to show good stands.
Some of the early planted cotton
will soon be ready to be worked.

ty. About 10 pounds of meat was
stolen from the house of Joe Gill, COL
ored, on Mr.. R. J. Loves place yester-
day. The thief, if he is the same man
in each case, is evidently no respecter
of persons nor colors, and neither is he

found the place deserted by the inhabi-
tants, who had carried off everything
that was movable. The government
had also ordered that the port be closed
as port of entry, and as the result,
there are no revenues to collect and
nothing out of which the British can
make the indemnity.
What will be the next move, it
would be difficult to say. 1t is a gen.
eral belief that Great Britain's bluff
was made with the knowledge and
consent of the United States; but since
the bluff has failed in its purpose, the
situation is more complicated than
ever. Great Britain can hardly back
down now, since she has gone so far.
There seems to be no way in which
she can make Nicaragua pay without
overrunning the country, and if the
United States permits this, it will be
in position just as embarrassing as
will be that of England if she fails to
collect her indemnity.
The latest news is to the effect that
Nicaragua has proposed that if Great
Britain will withdraw her vessels, Mic
aragua will pay the s75,50O within Is
days. AS to whether or not England
will accept this proposition, has not
developed, and there is more than a
possibility that before the trouble is
settled there may bes some more serious
complications.

SOLD AT AUCTION.

A lot of SO bales of cotton, damaged
by the recent fire at the Narrow Gauge
depot, was sold at public auction, last
Wednesday, and it brought a good
price.
The auction was conducted by the
railroad authorities at the instance of
the insurance companies interested.
Col. ". H. McCorkle acted as auction
eer, and the sale was attended by the
following cotton buyers J. L. Gelshe-
nen, Raleigh, y. c.; J. E. Hit, Au-
gusta, Ga; w. NJ. Stitt, Charlotte; J.
P. White, Gaffney City /; J. B. Pegram,
w. R. Carroll and 1. B. Gordon, York
vile.
The entire lot of cotton consisted of
SO bales. Of these 20 were more or
less damaged and 16 were perfectly
sound.
Mr.. J. B. Pegram started the ball off
by offering S400 for the lot. This bid
was considered rdiculously low, and
all the others, except Gordon, tried to
raise it at the same time. For little
while, the competition was quite live
ly; but, one by one, the competitors
dropped out. Mr.. Carroll carried the
the figures up above 500, and then
gave way to Mr.. Hit, who thought he
had sure thing of it. About this time
Mr.. Gordon stepped in and hung on
until Mr.. Hit bid sS24.25, when he
dropped out. Mr.. Hit got the cotton.
Just what the cotton was worth be-
fore the fire occurred, we have not

Preparing to Plant-More Cotton Than
Ever-Why They Claim the Cotton Belt.

Preparing to Plant-More Cotton Than
Ever-why They Claim the Cotton Belt.
Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer.
COTTON BELT, May 1.-The wealth
er is very warm and pleasant, and the
farmers in the belt are preparing for
their crops. Some have commenced
to plant cotton, and it is lamentable
fact that they are going to plant more
even than last year.
The farmers are evidently very un-
stable in their business. Last year,
nearly all of them talked of quitting
cotton almost entirely, but the rise of
a few cents on the bale has sprung
many false hopes ia their hearts that
the staple is going to bring big price
in the fall.
We have the prospects of good
fruit crop in this section this year if
nothing happens to it, and it will be
greatly appreciated.
Perhaps l had better tell where the
cotton belt is. II is between Buck
horn and Silver creeks, and extends
from Mr.. John Caldwell's to York
Vile. James Corbett, as everybody
knows, holds the belt as the champion
prize fighter of the world, and this
section is the beltholder on cotton
raising. RAMBLER.

Great Britain Is imposing on Llttle MICA

The United States government is
irrevocably committed to the "Monroe
Doctrine" and all the world is aware
of the fact. The Monroe doctrine pre-
scribes that no European country shall
colonize or acquire additional terri
tory in either North, South or Central
America. The Monroe doctrine, of
course, is not law; but it is princi-
pie, and this country can permit its
violation only at the expense of con-
siderable loss of prestige.
Some weeks ago, the government of
Nicaragua expelled Consul Hatch,
British subject, from Nicaragua terri
tory on account of an unwarranted
interference with domestic and politi-
cal affairs. Great Britain considered
herself very much insulted, and de-
manded an indemnity of s75,500.
Nicaragua thought the demand un-
just and refused to pay it. Great
Britain sent several war vessels, and
last week seized the port of Corinto
with the intention of collecting the
money at the custom house.
The seizure of the town of Corinto
was made last Saturday, but when the
British troops took possession they
