Seditious Teaching.

KINGSTON, March 1.-Alexander B.
Edwards, a negro, who styles himself
a prophet, and who during last year
attracted following of over 5000 per-
sons, has been arrested by the authori-
ties on a charge of sedition. In ad
dressing his congregation recently,
Edwards. it is alleged in the most en-
phatic manner, advised his listeners to
rebel against the government and to
crush out the whites. The prisoners
arrest was accomplished as secretly as
possible. He was surprised. at his
house al midnight by a squad Of 80
policemen. and withoutany resistance
was conveyed to police station.
When the arrest was made public
great excitement prevailed among his
friends, some OF whom threaten to at
tempt q rescUe. while others believe
that Edwards, through his own powers
can escape punishment. Edwards be-
gan operations about a year and half
ago. He proclaimed himself proph-
ct sent by God to heal the sick. He
erected a house on tie banks OF lit
tie stream a few miles back of King
ston and invited the people to come
and bathe in the waters he
blessed, asserting they could thus be
cured of any disease. In month his
congregation often numbers 5000 or
5000 persons and all day long the
throngs Of believers might be seen
marching along the roads with bottles
or pannikins to fetch away some of
the blessed water Others, too weak to
walk, were carried to the water by
friends.

4 SCHOONER OF WHlSkEY.
4 Ship Load of Savannah Whiskey Seized
by the Police.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 27.-The
police department, acting in conjunc-
ton with the Estate constabulary, seized
yesterday morning the schooner Caro-
lima loaded with twenty-eight barrels
of whiskey. The liquor seized is prob
ably worth $500, and the value of
the schooner, which will be held un-
der Section 3S 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 McCafery, 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 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 a 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. \ few barrels were not marked
and the stamps not covered.
The Carolina is two-masted schoo-
ner about sixty feet long, of substan-
tai 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-
ing Section 80 of the dispensary law.
They gave bond of $500 each for their
appearance when desired and were
released The Carolina, however, is
held by the authorities and will prob |
abb be advertised as confiscated and |
for sale in few days. The section
under which the Carolina is held re-
fars to seizure of vehicles or anymeans
used in transportation of contraband
liquors. rs.-News and Courier.

Of this awful mystery of the sea? There

Well, it will be better than that
when some of you are seen entering
the harbor of heaven. You have had
rough voyage-no mistake about
that. Snowy day after snowy day.
Again and again the machinery of
health and courage broke down, and
the waves of temptation have swept
clear over the hurricane deck, so that
you were often compelled to say, "All
thy waves and thy pillows have gone
over me-" and you were down in the
trough of that sea and down in the
trough of the other sea, and many des'
paired of your safe arrival. But the
great pilot, not one who must come
off from some other craft, but the one
who walked storm swept Galilee and
now walks the wintry Atlantic, comes
on board and heads you for the haven
when no sooner have you passed the
narrows of death than you find all the
banks lined with immortals celebrat
ing your arrival, and while some break
off palm branches from the banks and
wave them those standing on one side
will chant, There shall be no more
sea-, and those standing on the other
side will chant, These are they which
came out of great tribulation and had
their robes washed and made white in
tbe blood OF the Lamb" Off of the
stormy sea into the smooth harbor
Out of leonine struggle in the pit to
guidance by the Lamb, who shall lead
you to living fountains, of water. Out
of the snowy day of earthly seventies

and into orchards of eternal fruitage,

A Chance for a Hanging.

COUNCIL, BLUFFS, Ia, Feb. 2S.-
Deputy Sheriff 0 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 OConnor. The auth
critics are hot on O'Connor's trail and
expect to capture him before night.

ready to stand by the principles OF tae

main principle of that convention was
a Constitutional convention to be con-
trolled by men who We're It's friends
and not it's enemies.
The poor white men of the State are
not safe with any such possum and
coon combination. Their rights under
the homestead exemption and qualit-
cation clause are imperiled. They
cannot afford to trust like Colonel
Hemphill, Joe Barnwell, Gonzales and
A. B. Williams. It would have been
far better had the convention failed in
November last than that the Reform
movement should be defeated and the
rights and liberties of the poor white
men of the State imperilled by men
like these. I believe that Tillman and
Evans were sincere, but they were
simply gulled into a compromise that
means the destruction of the Reform
movement and protection for the poor
white men of the State, but for whom
Tillman in the Senate and Evans as
Governor would have been impossible
ties. I do not mean to denounce Till
man or Evans. I weep for them in be-
ing monkeyed with by any such crew.
Cal Hemphill and Barnwell were orig
inal members of the Forty. When
the primary scheme was promulgated
by the Democratic committee they
were whipped and could not destroy
the Reform movement. Then they
proposed to muzzle me as chairman of
the party and the whole Democratic
organization by going into an agree
ment with Tillman and Evans. which
respectfully subrnit will not only ruin
the Democratic party, but the Reform
movement of this State Respectfully.

PROSPERITY, Feb 2S.-One day dur
ing the first week of the snow, Ran
dali Wilson stripped one Of his chill
dren and whipped it unmercifully,
forcing it, while nude, to jump into a
tub of water. ice cold. He then fas-
tened the child in an clubhouse and left
it there to suffer or freeze. A knowl-
edge of the facts caused a number of
co1ored men to 60 to Randall's house
one night last week and take him out
and undress him and roll him in the
snow until he was nice and cold. They
then warmed him up with plum
sprouts until he promised to do better.

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.
NJ. Emerson Of the Atlantic Coast Line;
E. 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 II. G. Beattie.
There was 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 i've 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. It 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. It 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. c., to
be paid for on or by October, Is, 1895,
in middling lint cotton, as follows:
Dissolved bone, per ton........1S5 lbs
Acid phos. q to 3 per cent. pot
ASH )................ ...I93
halnlI. -. ............... .SVO
Guano q to23 per cenD......325 Z"
Guano q 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 will 60 into the
freightssand interest. To illustrate: II
the freight is SIS and the interest say Is
cents, the total will be 1915, and into
this will 60 Is 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-
Der 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 cool ordinary
viii be received except ay sp .cial
agreement. This is not i cotton op-
tion," but cotton trade. ard if you
buy for cotton you must pay in cotton
and nothing else.

people are in destitute circumstances,
they are not eating horse flesh.

A BOLD Robbery,

CLEvELAED, O.. March 1.-One of
the boldest acts of lawlessness which
has occurred in this city for a jong
time took place in the western suburbs
Sunday night. While a Nickelplate
freight train.was standing in front of
the telegraph office near the Detroit
crossing awaiting orders, a gang OF
tramps appeared, and, with drawn re
volvers, drove off the crew of the train.
The gang then began breaking open
freight cars and helping themselves to
their contents. Meanwhile, the police
had been notified and a patrol wagon
filed with officers came on the scene
The tramps, however, We're on the
watch and escaped in the darkness.
Later, two men were arrested charged
with being members Of the gang.

Well, we have had many snowy days
within the past month, and added to
the chill of the weather was the chill
ing dismay at the nonarrival of the
ocean steamer Gascogne. Overdue
for eight days, many had given her up
as lost, and the mosthopefu were very
anxious. The cyclones, whose play is
shipwrecks, had been reported being in
widest romp all up and down the At
lantic. The ocean few days before
had swallowed the Elbe, and with un-
appeared appetite seemed saying,
Give US more OF the best shipping"
The Normandie came in on the same
track the Gasogne was to travel, and
it had not seen her. The Teutonic,
saved almost by the superhuman ef-
forts of captain and crew, came in and
heard 40 gun of distress from thatmiSs-
ing steamer. There were pale faces
and wringing hands on both contin-
ents, and tears rolled down cold cheeks
on those snowy days. We all feared
that the worst had happened and talk
ed of the City of Boston as never heard
of after sailing, and the steamship
President, on which the brilliant Cook
man sailed, never reported and never
to be heard Of again until the time when
the sea gives up its dead But at last,
under most powerful glass at Fire is

over the waters. Then we all began
to hope that it might be the missing

Icould march right off these seats
and across this platform, if they would
come at my call, 500 people with three
troubles. This is the opportunity to
play the hero or the heroine, not on
small stage with a few hundred people
to clap their approval, but with all
the galleries Of heaven filed with
sympathetic and applauding spectators
for we are surrounded by a great
cloud OF witnesses. My brother, my
sister, my father, my mother, what a
chance you have! While you are in
the struggle, if you only have the
grace of Christ to listen, a voice parts
the heavens, saying, my grace is suf,
fcient for thee" Whom the Lord
loveth, he chasteneth." 'sYou shall
be more than conquerors." Paul had
three troubles -sanhedrin denouncing
hin-that was one great trouble; ply
sical infrmity, which he called "a
thorn in the flesh" and although we
know not what the thorn was we do
know from the figure he used that it
must have been something that stuck
him-that was the second trouble; ap-
preaching martyrdom-that made the
three troubles. Yet hear what he
saws: eff I had only one mist fortune,
7 could stand that, but three are two
too manya" No, I misinterpret. He
says: ''Sorrowful, yetalways rejoicing
Poor. yet making many rich; having
nothing, yet possessing all things"
'aThanks be unto God, who giveth US
the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ"
David had three troubles-a bad boy,
temptation to dissoluteness and de-
thronement. What does he say?
s'God is our refuge and strength, a.
very present help in the time of
trouble. Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed and
thou gh the mountains be cast into
the midst of the sea-" John Wesley
had three troubles-defamation by
mobs, domestic infeicity, fatiguefrom
more sermons preached and more
miles travelled than almost any man
of his time. What does he say? The
best of all is, God is with u.s." And
when his poet brother, Charles Wes-
lev, said to him, Brother John, if the
Lord were to give me wings, I'd fly"
Johns reply was, Brother Charles, if
the Lord told me to fly I'd do it and
leave him to find the wings"
