- A mammoth bronze sarcopha gus Will soon
be erected in Rock Creek Cemetery. IL was
recently cast for Benjamin Head Warder OF
| this city, and cost $4,000.
The tomb Is eight feet tong, three fee.
wide and four feet deep. ltstotai weights
$500 pounds.
In general, it is in the style OF the Italian
Rena issance. The designers were Shepley,
Kutan * Coolidge ot Boston. The casting
was done at the foundry of the Gor!i;.m
Misunderstanding Company Of Elmwood, K. L.,
afterthe eorieinaldesignhadb been elaborated
and decorated by Philip Martini of New
York.
The bronze is supported al the fourcorners
BY massive lions claws. The ends and
part of the sides of the sarcophagus are
covered with scroll work and delicate
tracery of relief OF vines and foiiaS sc, while
on each side is panel Of classic design
for memorial inscription to Mr.. Warder
and his wife
A STRIKING FEATURE.
The bronze is supported at the tour ends
and part OF the sides of the person whose
last resting place the sarcophagus is in
tended to commemorate. One panel is
empty, but the other bears the following III
scrption: BENJAMIN Head Warder. Born
in Philadelphia, November XIV, MDCCcX-
XIV. Died in Cairo, Egypt, January XIII,
MDCCCXCIV."
The cover is of appropriately severe, yet
gracefully simple, design, with decorated
borders of the Corinthian III odel adopted by
the artists of the Renaissance. The most
striking feature OF the whole design is,
however, the shell, supported by pair of
wings, seen on each side between the lions
claws, and eublcnatic of the mystery OF
death
1t was often used in the Renaissance
period to represent the secret of death and
the flight of the spirit of man into the
great unknown, the unopened Shell being
selected as the greatest mystery in nature,
except death itself.
AS A MONUMENT ONLY.
The whole is finished in the soft green
tint, varying from light to dark, seen on
all antique bronZes, and now largely imi-
tatcd In the Test OF modern work. IL will
stand as monument only, having been
Theoretically sealed before leaving the
foundry.
This Sarcopha gus is the second notable
bronze recently cast by the same com
pany for erection in Washington, the first
having been the colossal statue OF Gen.

REPLIES TO CRITICS.

Governor Evans Exylains About thp
Port Royal and Western Railway
Deal.
The Columbia State Of last Monday
says that Governor Evans was some
what incensed yesterday morning at
the attacks that are being made against
his policy in relation to the Port
Royal and Western Carolina Railway
or as the line was formerly known, the
Port Royal and Western Carolina and
Port Royal and Augusta roads.
Several men have seen fit to criticise
him through the press and few have
had the temerity to privately address
him through the mails. all of which ir-
ritates the governor, for they are
ignorant of the facts, in the case. he
says, and had best keep silent. ed.
He emphatically asserted yesterday
morning that neither he nor tho at
torney general went to New York to
take the testimony of Messrs. Thomas
and Ryan. He was in Waterbury and
the attorney general in Washington,
when he received a telegram from the
latter saying that Mcssrs. Thomas and
Ryan requested that their testimony
be heard and that they be examined
while he and Mr.. Barber were North.
In complying with this request. there
was nothing that could lower the dig
nifty of the State. Had they gone
North for that expressed purpose and
to relieve Messrs. Thomas and Ryan of
coming to Columbia, it would have
been quite different. In the first
instance, the governor said it was an
act of courtesy that did not incon-
venience either Mr.. Barber or himself,
while saving trouble to Messrs. Thomas.
and Ryan. But should they, in their
official capacity, have gone to Thomas
and Ryan for such a purpose, then it
would have been an indignity to tho.
State
Speaking of the report that these
gentlemen were agents for the South
ern Railway, Governor Evans said that
he had done his utmost to find out
whether it was true or not; that both;
when examined by Mr.. Barber on oath,
testified that they were acting for
themselves alone and not in the inter-
est of any railway. Further, both tes-
tilted that they were not interested in
any other railway. The words and
acts of Messrs. Thomas and Ryan
should be the best evidence of good
faith, the Governor thought, and it
yet remained to show by either thai
they were unfriendly to Port Royal
The telegram of Vice President
Even to him telling of the number of
vessels chartered, showed they were
interested in upbulding that port. If
at any time it should be shown that
either secretly or openly, the road was
discriminating against the port, then it
lay within the power of the State au-
thorities to revoke their action in tho
whole matter. :, :.
Governor Evans has been thinking
of giving .be written testimony Of
Thomas and Ryan to the press, but
said he had decided to within. Id it fox
the present and make it the subject Of
. special message to the Legislature. ::

Salem, the first new county scheme
to be voted on, appears to have failed.
The county proposed to take portions
of the territories of Kersaw, Darling
ton and Sumter Counties with Bishop
Vile ~ the center and county seat.
The election was held on Tuesday of
Inst week, but no reliable returns
could be learned until Mr.. j. s. Par
rott and Mr.. w. X. Crosswell taken
the tabulntcd result to Columbia.
The townships in Darlington and
Sumter gave the necessary two-thirds
vote, but those in Kcrsaw killed the
scheme on the face Of the returns.
The promoters of the new county
claim that in these townships thcro

conducting the election among which
is mentioned the failure of tho mana.
gers to require the production Of reg
istration certificates on the part of
voters. On this and other grounds
they propose to contest claiming that
in some instances the managers were
not sworn and some boxes wero not
opened Mt all. They propose to make a
contest and should those irregularities
be proven there will have to be another
election in those townships. But
~ the vote has been counted Sa-

that has been fought for several years
in the Legislature and the general i'm
preston in tho State was that it would
go through without trouble. But one

STRANGLED BY HER LOVER.
A Former South Carolinian Chokes =
Woman to Death.

At Jacksonville, Fla, Mrs. Rave
man Caraway, formerly of Knoxville.
Tenn, but recently of Ocala, Fla.
was strangled by her lover, II. Willie
Wilkes, formerly of Florence, s. c..
but of late years of Ocala. The man
and woman went to Ocala some weeks
ago and have frequently quarrelled.
Wilkes went to the woman's room, and
after quarrel threw her on the bed
and choked her until she was dead.
The murderer coolly walked out of the
house, and the body was not found un-
til half hour later.
Wilkes was captured by barber as
he was riding ont of town on bicycle.
He drew two pistols, hut the barber
got the drop and turned him over to
to the police.
From letters found in the room, it
appears that Wilkes planned the muir
der, and intended to commit suicide,
but his nerve failed him. The maiden
name of Mrs. Caraway is not known.
Her mother, n sister and brother live
in Knoxville, Tenn. Physicians be.
lieve Wilkes has murderous mania,
so far as women are concerned. 1t is
said he has attacked other women.
Mrs. Carawny was only "a years old,
very pretty. She leaves two children

she was with Wilkes.

concluded with "Dixie." The band is
an excellent ono, and is credit to the
institution. Its members are clever
young gentlemen who will ever be well
come to Columbia. They furnished the
best music that has been given at any
State fair of recent years.
THE SIZE OF THE CROWD.
1t has been impossible yet to secure
the actual figures from the railroads
and the State fair people to show the
exact number of visitors here during
the fair, but the figures obtainable,
when the number of railroad-paid fair
ground passes are taken into consider
ntion, along with tho attendance from
tho city, show that The States estimate
of %, 900 on the grounds on Thursday
will be very close to the actual count.
Tho railroads are supposed to have
brought into Columbia upwarns of IL, :
900 visitors on fair week coupon
tickets.
The crowd was one of the best
humored that ever gathered in South
Carolina. Nothing seemed to arouse
the bad feeling in anyone. Not even
an angry word was heard on the
grounds. The police had practically
nothing to do.
Chief DAILY thinks it was the best
naturcd crowd he ever saw to be as
large us it was. He and his men drove
the pickpockets and crooks out of the
city, but the slickest of them disguised
themselves and came back on the trains
on Thursday VIXEN the crowd was 80
great that police officers could not
move about among those comprising
it. Thus it was that they reapod u

FAKIRS AND SIDE SHOWS 90.
All the side show people and fakirs
who were on the Midway left on n
block ticket which read to Jackson
Vile, Fla. They carried whole car
lond of baggage. They were certainly
an interesting looking set of people,
and to the student of human nature af
forded rare treat. One of the best Of
them was Il large fellow, slick as oil,
who went about all the week in the
guise of n farmer, carrying big whip
in his hand. The boys called him
"Rubc." His makeup fitted the sou
bliuuet and vice versa. He charmed
the crowd for the tent in which was the
"What Is It?' and did it SO well that
the fakir brought in $50 in dimes in
ono day. What he told the other
farmers to send them there is not ex-
actly known, but they went and when
they gazed at the raZor-back hog and
heard the "Rube" tell how this strange
animal" was boldly captured after
desperate fight by posse with himself
ut the head on the wild, sloping, flat
plains of far.away California;, they
had that tired feeling and were asham
ed to tell any one else about the
"What Is It?' when they went out.
.'Rube" would give glowing and
thrilling story of the capture and shed
tear or two when he graphically de-
scribed how the wild animal had sew
cred his pet dogs head at a vicious
snap. Oh, the "Rube" is daisy. He
would have made Charles Dickens
Imagination faint. The fakirs will
very likely visit the fair at Fitzgerald.

winter.
