COLUMBIA. S. c., special: Gov. Evans,
in the enforcement Of the state dispensary
law, is likely to involve the country in in
ternational complications. Several days
ago Italian Consul Costello refused to al
low state dispensary constables to search
the bark Fortunate, it being claimed that
the crew was selling liquor to persons on
shore contrary to the dispensay law. The
captain and mate both deny that any
liquor was sold from the vessel. Pending
an investigation of the treaties and inter-
national laws by the attorney general, the
vessel has not been molested. Gov. Evans
says that in case the attorney generals
opinion comedies with his own, he will
seize the vessel and arrest such of the men
as he thinks have been guilty of violating
the laws of the state. He also threatens to
request the removal of the Italian Consul
at this place.
ATLANTA, Ga, special: The success OF
the Nebraska relief movement in Georgia,
headed by ex-GOv. Northern, was demon
strated when the train was made up, ex-
ceeding all expectations. 1t was expected
that fifteen carloads OF supplies would be
shipped, but when Gov. NOrthen began to
make up the train he found he had twenty
cars, including two cars of rice sent by cit
Teens of Washington, N. c. Heaps of corn,
barrels of -four, molasses, boxes of meat
and of canned goods were rapidly trucked
out on the platform and into the waiting
cars. One of the first cars to arrive was
from Savannah, laden with $500 worth Of
| provisions. Then rolled in ether cars from
| Augusta, Macon and other cities, while
various small shipments reached the depot
in good time. 1t looks now as if another
| train will chnrt1v hp mazda nv 10 tho rocrlt
of the impetus given to the first attempt.
ATLANTA special: Atlanta has begun
the municipal investigation. When City
Clerk Woodward appointed Capt. Amos
Baker, commander of the Atlanta Zou-
ayes, to be clerk to the city recorder the
officials of the police department raised a
row. Capt. Wright, head of the detective
force, preferred charges before the council
against Baker, charging that while en-
ployed as bartender at the National Hotel
he was really a member of a notorious
gang, mt was guilty Of every crime in the
decalogue. These charges form the basis
of the investigation, but wholesale charges
against the detective force will be sifted to
the bottom.
FORT WORTH, Texas, special: Captain
Frant, n of the great cattle raisers Of
southwest Texas, says there is a marked
shortage in Texas cattle in his part of the
state. Fall rains put the ranges in excel
lent condition n there was more grass
than stock to eat it. Shipments of feeders
to southern cities where there are cotton
seed oil mills; loss in drouth from 1892 and
drives from bare and sun-baked ranges
have almost depleted the ranges of cattle,
and breeders are now holding their stock.
He says the shipments of south Texas will
be much smaller than for the years past.
PRESCOTT, Arizona, special: A terrific
rainstorm of seventy two hours duration
has caused Granite Greek to break over its
banks. The destruction of property has
been tremendous, a dozen dwellings going
down n as many families rendered
homeless. North Prescott has been sub
merged for twenty-four hours. From near
localities many reports are sent in OF the
wholesale destruction of property that is
ruined or washed away.
AsHvILLE, N. c., special: The indica-
tons are that Miss Stevenson cannot long
survive. Her condition is extremely criti-
cal and a physician is constantly at her
bedside.
