ed in the merriment. 1t seems that
Mr.. Gibson asked Mr.. Blackburn how
he had voted, aud receiving Il reply
that it was in the negative, jumped to
the conclusion that some proposition
was pending which the Democrats
were opposing and gave a vigorous
"no," although he was sidewiping his
friend, German. Fortunately for MIR.
Gorman's peace of mind, it transpired
that his vote was not needed, as the
amendment had sufficient votes to Sc
cure its adoption.
- Although congress has passed two
concurrent resolutions to recognize
the independence of Cuba, the presi.
dent has declined to take action, and
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is now
trying to push matters to an issue.
In the senate the other day he intro
duced concurrent resolution on the
same subject. If this passes both
houses of congress the president will
either have to sign it or veto it, and
thus the people of this country will
know just where he stands. The COM
mittee on foreign relations has not yet
taken any definite action in regard to
the matter.

FIGHTING FIRE.

There was little fire in Yorkville on
Wednesday afternoon. 1t did not amount
to great deal but it made quite num-
Der of people very nervous. Had it not
been for the splendid protection afforded
by the waterworks system, it is not un-
likely that the loss would have footed up
thousands of dollars.
A small stable and barn on the premises
of Mrs. Fannie Gist was destroyed. The
flames originated in manner unknown,
in a loft of the barn in some fod-
der, and was discovered when burning
furiously. Although the fire department
answered promptly upon the first alarm,
it was able to accomplish but little. The
roof of the building was already falling
in, and a thousand or more bundles OF
fodder were seething mass of flame.
Connecting fences had already com
menced to burn, and great cinders were
being carried by the wind in the direction
of adjoining buildings. About this time,
however, a strong stream from the
water main was brought to play, and in
remarkably short while every spark was
extinguished. A strong wind was blow
ing in northeasternly direction, and in
the absence of as good fire facilities as
were available, everything was favorable
for the destruction of number OF out
buildings, and also probably the resi-
dences of Mr.. J. j. Hunter and others, on
West Liberty street.
There was q horse in the stable at the
time the fire was discovered and six small
shoats in an adjoining pen. The horse
was gotten to place of safety with some
difficulty. One Of the shoats was so bad
ly burned that it had to be killed to re-
lieve its misery, another was burned
slightly, and the remaining four escaped
without injury. The loss, which falls
mainly upon Mr.. Vim. c. Gist, amounted
in the aggregate to between s75 and 500,
less $50 insurance.

presumably on business of a matrimonial
nature, one day last week.
Miss Marie Fewell, of Rock Hill, is

spend their honeymoon.
Sunday evening, about 2 o'clock, all
persons in the vicinity Of j. w. McEl-
haney's livery stable, were alarmed by
hearing five pistol shots in quick success
sion. Upon investigation, it was found
that Alfred Jurney, white, a blacksmith,
had shot Zan Simmel, colored, a shoe
maker. Three out of the five shots took
effect. It seems that the trouble grew out
of sighting remarks made by Simmel in
regard to some work which Jurney had
donea few days before. Simmeps wounds
are not very serious. Jurney 1T once fled
to parts unknown, but has returned. 1t
is stated that both parties were under the
influence Of whisky at the time or the diff
ficulty.
Several of the small children of whom
we made mention last week as being quite
sick, we are glad to note, are improving.
Mrs. j. NJ. Spratt, Misses Lille Massey

The secretary of the State Pharmaceuti-
cal association, who is resident Of Char
lesion, has been notified that DIR. John
Nav, q druggist of Yorkville, was at the
last term of the York county court found
guilty of violating the dispensary law IN
selling whisky, and was sentenced Dy
Judge Witherspoon to pay a fine OF Sl5O
or four months on the county chaingang
or in the State penitentary.
Under section Is Of the dispensary law
every pharmacist convicted OF violating
the act is compelled to forfeit his license
and be stricken from the membership roll
of the Pharmaceutical association.
In accordance with the law DR.. May has
been notified that he had been debarred as
a member ofthe association and requested
to return his license, which has been for
feted.
The above item was published in the
Charleston Evening Post of Tuesday, and
the Columbia State of Wednesday. 1t
created quite ripple of interest in York
Vile, and a reporter of THE ENQUIRER
applied to DR.. May on Wednesday for fur
ther information. DR.. May referred the
reporter to Major Jas. +. Hart, his attor-
new. who kindly furnished the cores
pondence in the case. Upon receipt Of
the first letter from DR.. Thomas, president
of the State Pharmaceutical association,
DR.. May turned it over to Major Hart, and
his reply was as follows:

Representative Talbert is thorn in
the side of the congressional pension
thieves. Friday night of each week is set
aside for the passage of all manner of
private pension bills. Each Republican
congressman has number Of these bills
on hand, and it is their custom to trade
with each other so as to keep down oppo-
sition. The Democrats seldom attend
the Friday night sessions. Recognizing
that they are unable to prevent vicious
legislation, they leave the questions with
the Republicans in the hope that they will
over do it and eventually disgust the
country. 1t is necessary, however, for one
or two Democrats to remain on guard, and
by reason of his special fitness, this duty
generally falls to Congressman Talbert.
Mr.. Talbert has made the situation UNI
comfortable on more than one occasion,
and on last Friday night he was able to
accomplish something practical. 1t hap
pened there was not a quorum pres

TIRzAH ENCANfPNIENT.

Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: The
committee on arrangements for the annu-
al Alliance encampment at Tirzah met at
that place on last Saturday to arrange a
programme. These gatherings of the
York county Alliancemen have been held
annua,,.y for the past few years and afford
a respite to the lonesome yeoman from
the toilsome labors of summer.
The speakers for this occasion have been
chosen from among the finest orators in
America, and it is to be hoped that they
will, one and all, attend. Two days and
two nights are to be spent at the encamp-
ment. The speakers invited are Hon. j.
G. Sibley, of Pennsylvania; Senator Till
man, Governor Evans, congressman j..
w. Stokes, j. Stanyarne Wilson, I. j..
Strait, w. J. Talbert and Latimer, Hon.
J. w. Floyd, of Kershaw; President E..
B. Craighead, of Clemson college, and
Hon. J. Mann Page, of Virginia, presi-
dent of the National Farmers Alliance.

ent. Mr.. Talbert raised the point.
There was large number of badly dis
appointed Republicans but they had no
way to help themselves. Finally Mr..
Talbert proposed that if the Republicans
would promise not to pension any more
deserters or try to fix up any more bad re-
cords so as to make undeserving parties
eligible to draw pensions, he would with
draw his point. After some consultation,
the Republicans agreed to the PROPOSE
ton and the business Of the evening was
allowed to proceed. Mr.. Talbert is now
in position to go to the theatre on Fri
day nights, if he SO desires.

- The European press is grumbling
somewhat ominously over the attitude
of the United States toward Cuba, as this
attitude evidently ought to be in the
light of the Competitor incident. The
French papers suggest that if the United
States can take Cuba away from the Span
iards, why cannot it also take the French
and English possessions in the Antilles.
This grumbling, however, does not
amount to anything much and ought not
to affect the policy of this country, pro-
vided the government has sufficient
supply of nerve.

more living ex-governors than any
Strife in the Union, the number being
eight. R. K. Scott, D. H. Chamber
lain, F. J. Moses, Wade Hampton,
Johnson Hagood, John c. Sheppard,

Colonel McNIaster's Convention.
Columbia Register: Colonel McMas-
ter has called his goldbug convention
for Friday, the 18th inst. The colonel
let his zeal run away with his judg-
ment. So far as can be ascertained he
will hold the convention all by himself.
Nobody has made itpublic that he will
attend and in all probability the whole
thing will fall flat as has been freely
predicted.

petative drill at Savannah all right
and entered for the prizes. The Off
cial decision will not be rendered until
today but there seems to be a pretty
general opinion that the cadets will
clean up everything in sight.

ASSAULT AND RIOT.

There was somewhat sensational pre-
liminary examination before Magistrate
J. @. Howe, of Kings Mountain town.
ship, last Wednesday. The charges were
riot and assault with q deadly weapon.
Alec and William Hollis were prosecuting
witnesses, and the defendants were John
w. Smith, VIM. Smith, j. A. Thomas,
John Feemster, Earnest Napier and
Charlie Lee, all white. The defendants
were represented by Messrs. Thos. F.
Mellow and John r. Hart.
1t seems that on the 9Th of March last,
gang of whitecappers visited Alec and
William Hollis at their home in Broad
River township, took Alec out of his bed,
then threatened him with hanging, and
warned him to leave the country. In his
testimony before the magistrate, Alec told
his story in effect as follows:
my brother went to the door first but
came back and told me that it was me
they wanted. Just as was about to get
up. Charlie Lee came and pulled me out
of bed. When I got to the door Lon

me if knew what they were there for.

harm, that they shoold come after me in
any such manner. Thomas said he was
there for the purpose of making me leave

candidate for governor, and that the race
for the Democratic nomination has been
abandoned to ex-Comptroller General Ell

- Having failed to secure reelection as
State committeeman from Laurens coun-
ty. somebody has raised the question as
to Senator Irby's eligibility for re- election
to the State craftsmanship. The Colum-
bia Register quotes the State constitution
in regard to the matter, and by it shows
conclusively that the State committee is
not confined to its own members for the
selection of its officers. However, Sena-
tor Irby is not likely to be reelected. In
the first place, Senator Tillman is against
him and in the second place, he is a cam
didate for office, and really has no right to
exercise the duties of the craftsmanship.

The latest news from Washington
seems to indicate that the administration
will insist on civil trial for the American
citizens recently captured on the Compel
itor, and if the men are again convicted,
they must be pardoned, or Spain must
take the consequences. That is about the
way Uncle Sam ought to talk in regard
to the matter.
