A Card from III. NJ. Prince.

Editor of Intelligenccr: Please allow
me space in your columns to express 'm
thanks to my friend of the 4Adpocate for
his high and very disinterested encomi
ums on my speech in his issue ofthe 10Th
inst, and to express my deep regret that
he allowed so much error and inaccuracy
to be mixed up with his compliments.
We are sure that all who know his high
regard for truth, will readily exonerate
him from all responsibility in the matter,
and conclude that it was mere ldpSuS
pea,nea or misprint of his devil, (who is
usually regarded as the father of such
things), for surely my learned friend
we'll knows, with all who were present,
that Messrs. Sullivan and Prince did not
meet nor answer my arguments, but
SHE'D around them like mule avoids a
hole in the ground. Both of Mr.. Sulli-
vans speeches were simply personal
attacks on me and vague charges agains!
the Conservative party, and Mr.. Princes
first speech was tissue of generalities,
not at all conspicuously glittering, wisely
keeping out Of my reach till assured OF
safety. I hope my usually courteous and
obliging friend will mako. the necessary
correction. IL. M. PRINCE.

= According to local chroniclers Mrs.
Charlotte Stull, Of M iddleton, Conn.,, cell
ebrated her eightieth birthday recently
by walking eight miles in two hours.
- A trolley railroad running fifty miles
along country highways and connecting
six Indiana towns with Chicago, is soon
to be built. 1t will be the longest trolley
road in Indiana and one of the longest in
the country.
- The most magnificent corn crop ever
seen in any country OH earth is, from all
accounts, soon to be gathered in this
country. It is variously estimated all
the way from two to two and a half billion
bushels, and the money value to the
farmers is reckoned, including the fodder.
at three-fourths of billion $3.50, 900, 900. J
The statistician ofthe agricultural depart
ment at Washington estimates the worth
of the crop at S943, 100000, but much of
this will go to the railroads and the mid
dlelnan. The wheat crop, the cotton crop,
the oat crop, the fruit crop, and other
crops, are either fair or better than fair,
the first being estimated conservatively
at 395, 100000 bushels, worth about $500,
J 100000.

Death of MIR. Barr.

The announcement of the death of Mr..
William F. Barr, which occurred at his
home in this city Tuesday morning at
O'Clock, was great shock to his mum or
Gus friends and acquaintance, many of
whom did not know that he was seriously
ILL. About two weeks ago he was forced
to take his bed on account of severe
attack of dysentery, which gradually
grew worse until Inflammation of the
bowels set in, which caused his death.
DR.. Nardin, the attending physician, eX-
hausted all of his skill and knowledge in
attempting to relieve the sufferer, and did
not give up hope until Monday morning,
when he saw that death was inevitable.
Mr.. Barr was 63 years old, and was a
son of Leroy Barr, deceased, who was a
well known citizen OF this County in his
day. He was born in this city, and spent
his boyhood days in the Brushy Creek
section of the County, where his parents
settled after they left Anderson. In his
young manhood he returned to Anderson,
and for number of years clerked in the
stores Of our venerable citizens, Messrs.
s. Bleckley and B. F. Crayton. He
served throughout the war, having en-
listed in the Palmetto Riflemen, and was
brave soldier. Since the war and up to
two or three years ago he has been con-
tinuously engaged in merchandising in
this city. In the spring Of last year he
was appointed Postmaster for Anderson,
and was most efficient and accommo-
dating official.
Mr.. Barr possessed mostgenial, clever
disposition, and was very popular with
all of his friends and acquaintances. For
more than thirty years he was faithful
and consistent member of the Presby-
terian Church. In 1869 hs married Miss
Lille Hubbard, who preceded him to the
grave about five years ago. Four daugh-
ters and two sons are left to cherish the
memory of most devoted and affection
ate father, and in their sore bereavement
they have the sympathy Of our whole
people.
This morning at 11.30 o'clock, after ap-
propriate funeral services in the Presby-
terian Church, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. J. N. H. Summerel, the members OF
Hiram Lodge, A. F. M, of which he was
member, laid his remains to rest in the
Presbyterian Churchyard with the hon
ors of that ancient order.

SAYS HE WAS HYPNOTIZED.
william $. Wyse's Explanation in a Suit
to Regain Property.

BY the United Press.
New York, Feb. William Summer
Wyse alleges hypnotic influence as the
basis of an action to recover $l50O0O
from his wife, which was called in the
superior court yesterday. Wyse was
married In 1873. His wife was twenty
years his junior. Wyse had a goo1
business in the advertising line and
made great deal of money. He was
free-handed andy well known around
the Hoffman House and the uptown
clubs and swell cafes.
Ten years after his wedding Wyse
found himself almost penniless. Do
nestle infelcity had marred his home
life for several years. After one of
their differences Wyse alleges he trans
ferred his entire property, valued at
Sl50,O00 to his wife, who, he says, i'm
mediately set to work to secure a
separation on the ground of incompata-
bility and cruelty. Wyse says that by
misunderstanding he let the case go
by default, Marie Wyse was free, and
Wyse says she went to live at the Hotc,
Savoy. Wyse occupied small furn-
ished room on West Twenty
street.
Six years ago Wyse brought suit to
recover his property. His counsel says
Wyse was induced to meet Mrs. Wysr,
and under her influence, which was al
most hypnotic, signed a release, giving
up all right and title to the property.

WOMAN LIVES IN A CAVE.
Oscar Lawrcnce's Widow. Mourned for
Dead, Found to BE Hermit.

Shelbyville, Ind, Feb. This even
ing City Marshal Sparks and several
citizens discovered cave in an isolated
spot on the bank of the Blue river.
Smoke was seen coming out Of the
ground, but they We're kept at bay by
large dog. Finally woman ap-
peared and called the dog inside. The
officer, followed by the crowd, advanced
and demanded admission, which was
finally given. When questioned the
woman said she was the widow Of
Oscar Lawrence, who died in this city
three years ago. Lawrence was sta
tionary engineer. After his death she
went to the home of her father, Ben
Martin, who has his second wife. She
could not get along with her step
mother, and concluded to camp out.
Her cave, as well as herself, pre-
sented every phase of the most abject
poverty. She was dirty, her hair was
disheveed, and she lowered over the
fire thinly clad. She said she was con-
tented, and desired to remain where
she was. The woman had been mourned
as dead. At one time she was a teacher
in the Mission Sabbath school, of Shell
byville. She and her sole companion,
the dog, manifested much affection for
each other.
