The south Carolina Democracy, Ii
IL He.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. February B-
An evening paper publishes an article
on the political position OF Senator
Tnlman, in which it says that since his
speech In the Senate Mr.. Tillman mas
received numerous letters from numerous
Democrats asking him TO state his POSI-
ton, as otherwise his actions would pc
OF great harm to the party. In reply 20
one of these. Senator Tillman writes as
follows:
Il have your letter OF February 5th,
and appreciate very much your words Of
commentator. In order to preserve the
unity Of the white Democracy OF South
Carolina we cannot act on your sugges-
ton not TO send delegates to the conven-
ton at Chicago. We have already cap
tured the State Democracy We are the
State Democracy. and we must go to
Chicago as such. prepared to bolt, II need
fbe, and ally ourselves with the free-silyer
men Of the West IT would be a fatal
blunder not to send delegates TO the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. and would
only be putting II in the hands OF our
gold-bug enemies.
IF the national convention does not
adopt a platform TO suit us. and put a
man on II above suspicion as to his
loyalty, we can then leave the party,
but not before. The effort OF every true
friend Of silver and financial reform
should be directed TO having our State
Democratic Convention composed solidly
OF men Of their way Of thinking. so as
to have it act as a unit"

NEWS FROM THE COUNTY.
Judgment for Mr.. Daly-Mystery
About "a Baby's Death.

The Henrico County Court was in ses-
sion yesterday, but only civil business
was transacted. The case OF j. j. Daily
against Anthony Taylor (colored). which
was appealed from a magistrates de-
clsion, was the only matter upon which
decision was rendered. The suit was for
Si3 rent claim and was decided in favor
OF Mr.. DAILY.
A white infant, neatly dressed. was
found Tuesday evening by laborer in a
briar bush. a short distance from the
road, in the vicinity Of the gravel pits
north Of Barton Heights. The body.
which was that OF a white child. and
from all Appearances had been lying there
at least a week. was carried to the house
of Magistrate Vaughan. An investigation
was then held, but only to thicken the al
ready clouded mystery surrounding the
case. There were no marks Of violence,
but 1t seemed probable that death might
have been brought to the babe by
smotherlng 1t with soft pillow. The
body was quietly removed to the county
Jail. where II remained all day Wednes-
day Yesterday Deputy-Sheriff Lew Fus-
sell delivered It to Constable Mosby for
burial in the Potter's Field. There was
nothing to give any clue to the identity
Of those who so basely deserted and per-
haps murdered the infant.

VIRGINIA MEASURES.
Senator Daniel to-day, the urgent
deficiency bill being under consideration
in the Committee OF the Whole offered
an amendment providing for the payment
OF $4,000 to the Richmond Locomotive
Iron-W Works. the amount due for delay
by the government in not having the
hull OF the Texas ready at the proper time
for her machinery.
Senators Hale and Chandler objected,
not. they said. that they disputed the
validity Of the claim, but that they con-
sdered the matter should go before the
Finance Committee OF the Senate for re-
port prior to being considered in Com
mittee OF the Whole. and Senator Daniel
thereupon withdrew the bill, which he
will now have considered and reported
and put on as an amendment to another
appropriation bill.
This Is not an overdue payment for
work on the Texas. as some suppose
but is a claim against the United States
Government which has been allowed by
the Navy Department and has been adju-
dicated by the proper tribunal 1t will
be paid to the Locomot otlve-W Works as soon
as the appropriation bill to which IL will
be attached is passed and signed by the
President.
Senator Martin introduced bill to-
day for the relief Of the trustees OF the
First Baptist College, OF Suffolk. Va.

Meadors' Memory Is had.

William j. Meadors, the murderer OF
Maggie Driver who was removed TO the
city jail on Wednesday, Is still very
weak, but Sat up during the trip from
the almshouse to prison. He refuses
to make any statement just now. but
says that the whole thing Is like 4
dream. He admits that IT was not wholly
on account OF the influence of liquor
that he was prompted to commit the
crime. He claims TO remember almost
nothing Of the affair, saying that his last
recollection on the night OF the killing
was when he was standing on the
corner OF Fifteenth and Franklin with
a friend. The friend called his atten-
tion to Maggie. who was then passing,
and beyond that the prisoner says he re-
members nothing until the nurse at the
almshouse the next morning told him OF
what had happened.
Meadors is held now TO answer TO the
charge of numbering Maggie Driver, and
his case will come up in the Police Court
the first Monday In March. when, in, the
Judgment Of the City Physician. he will
be well enough to stand an examine
ton.
He said himself yesterday morning that
he thought he would be able to ap-
pear.

The manner In which the Board OF AL

its action, and allow the people of the

TO the City Council. The report OF

 During the summer an office for Dr, Anderson has been built at the corner of the main floor of the gym, next to the visitors staircase, and Dr. Ander- son may be found at that office most of the time
 The baths in the gymnasium were opened yesterday afternoon, and this morning Mir. Schwartz will begin giv- ing swimming lessons in the big swim ming tank, The water for this tank, for all the baths and for the rowing tanks is furnished by fortytwo wells, which have been driven back of the gymnasium. The water from these wells is clear and considered by the gymnasium authorities much better for gymnasium uses than is the city wa tare, The capacity of the well Is 200 gallons per minute.
