Hanna, His Manager Believes Mr.. Har-
rison's Withdrawal Is Absolute.
Cleveland, o., Feb. 3.-Hon. M. A.
Hanna was shown the Associated Press
dispatch from Indianapolis this eve
ming announcing the withdrawal of
General Harrison from the presidential
race and was asked what effect the
letter would have on the candidacy of
Mckinley.
81 can not but regard the withdrawal
of General Harrison in the most favora-
BILE light" said Hanna, because of the
well-known strength of Governor Nc
Kinley in Indiana. He has long been
very popular among the republicans
of that state and the accessions he will
get there will be strong addition to
his forces in the central west. OF course
the other candidates are likely to be
represented in the Indiana delegation,
but it is my judgment that the senti
ment among the republicans of that
state is overwhelmingly for Mckinley"
New York, Feb. 3.-Edward Lauter-
bach, chairman of the republican coun-
ty committee, said tonight that he be-
lieved Governor Morton's candidacy
would be greatly strengthened through
the withdrawal of General Harrison.

Hundreds of Nerves.
New York, Feb. 4.-Fire which start
ed in the drying room in the basement
of the Gilsey house early this morning
and caused much excitement among
the 224 guests, who were aroused from
their sleep by the automatic signals.
Many women became hysterical; others
fell down stairs in their efforts to escape
from the building. For time the hall
ways were filled with smoke and there
was every indication that the building
would be consumed. Several servants
on the sixth floor, thinking retreat had
been cut off by the flames, climbed down
the fire-escapes in sight of hundreds of
people. On the arrival of the engines,
in response to the first alarm, the smoke
was so thick that a second alarm was
sent in. In a short time the fire was
extinguished, the guests filing back to
their apartments. The total damage
was not more than $500.

Nj
Up TO CUnstantnople.
Constantinople, Feb. at is denied
that the porte has refused to admit the
second dispatch boat for the service Of
the United States legation. The latter
is not settled. The porte does not con-
test the right of entry, but contends
that the moment for such reinforce
ment is inopportune. 1t has been much
remarked in official circles that since
the rigorous action of Minister Terrell
in behalf of American missionaries he
alone is mentioned in court circulars as
a guest at court dinners. The impress
sion prevails in diplomatic circles that
the United States and Great Britain
may eventually unite to save the Ar
menians.

as known there was no adequate cause
for the suicide.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer
HooDTowN, June M.-According to an
nouncement, Children's Day ex ercises
were held at Shady Grove, last Saturday.
The morning was rather gloomy looking,
as ominous clouds hung overhead but it
only sprinkled rain about o'clock. By
10 o'clock the people were coming In
from all directions. Old Sol showed his
welcome face, and by the time the exer-
cises began, large crowd had gathered,
made up principally of the young people
and children, though quite number of
middle aged and a few old people were
present. A large number of pretty
young ladies were present to grace the

"a DEEPLAlD SCHEME"

Elsewhere in this issue we publish an
alleged communication to THE YORK
VILE ENQUIRER suggesting a legisla-
tive ticket whose platform is to be the
defeat of q deep laid scheme to divide
York county" 1t is very unfortunate
for the peace of the county that such
an issue should be raised. The peo-
pie of Rock Hill at least have nothing to
do with any "scheme," they have no
legislative candidates in the field /; have
counseled none to run are attending to
their business and giving no attention
whatever to political matters and It is
dastardly that THE YoRKvILLE EN-
oUIRER or its correspondent should at
tempt to inject this mean, splteful issue In
the approaching campaign.
There are gentlemen named on the
Grist ticket who the people of Rock Hill
would be delighted to honor with their
votes; the citizens here do not hold them
responsible for the unfriendly spirit ex1 1
hibited toward Rock Hill in Central
York" article, but it is as sure as fate that
if any one of them chooses to enter the
campaign on such narrow minded, par
tisan, unfair platform as suggested by
Central York" the offense will be re-
membered against them and cherished by
the voters Of Rock Hill and we believe
of Eastern York.
So far as the new county is concerned
the people in Rock Hill are content 10
let the matter rest where it is at present.
That we expect to organize a county
here in the future is no secret. we snail
bide our time and move when we Know
we are right, and as the constitutional
requirement is mandatory, if we conf
ply with all the conditions, we assure our

from the Tenth Georgia district.

from the Tenth Georgia district. 1t
will be remembered that Tom Wat
SON was originally elected from that
district as a Democrat. Afterward
he turned Populist, and at the next
election, as the result of the most
fragrant cheating he was defeated by
the Democrats. At the next election
the same tactics were repeated. Ma
ior Black, the successful man, how
ever, was honest, and recognized the
fact that Watson had been unfairly
dealt with, resigned and went into an.
other race. The people this time
supported Black on account of bis
manifest integrity. Now The Journal
has it that Black will refuse to stand
for reelection; that Pat Walsh will
pose as candidate until the Demo:
cratic convention meets; then he will
withdraw in favor of Watson, who
will be nominated blythe Democrats,
and harmony will be restored among
the white people of the district.
