RAISED HIS STICK.


In the midst of it all the Senator, it is
said. raised his heavy walking stick and
attempted to strike the conductor, but was
prevented by some one taking hold of his
arm.
The conductor rendered his apology for
what he had done in assisting Mr- Hoarin
the car, but the reply he IS alleged 10 have
received was that upon similar occasion
once in Bosto town, n street car conductor
had attempted to make him OUt an invalid
and as a reward had received a blow from
that cane which laid the conductor up with
a broken hand for month or two. This
time, he said, it would be Conductor Toll
sons head, II ne got a chance at him.
The car was filled with passengers, but
all the way up to X street none dared to
speak louder than a whisper, while the
Senator continued to pour walls of wrath
upon the head OF the conductor.
AK street the car was again della yed.
while the conductors name, number, and
the number of his car were taken, ord
everybody breathed easier when the SEN
ator alighted, this time without assist
ance, and retreated, still shaking his big
cane at the car as it left him.
Among the passengers were Mrs. Powers,
wife OF Rev. DR.. Powers, of the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, and her 'iaugf-
ter, and number OF other prominent
people, who were surprised by the Sena-
tors Incorporate actions.
CONDUCTOR LAID OFF.
The next day Conductor Tolson was
called before Mr.. Dunlop, the president OF
the road, and listened to a three-paged
typewriter set OF charges which Sen
ator Boar had prepared against him, ac
cusing the conductor of assault, impro
priety, unGentlemanly conduct, and various
other offenses, TO which he pleaded not
guilty.
After a reprimand Mr.. Dunlop was in
clined to dismiss the matter, but this
would not satisfy the Bay State Senator.
who desired his discharge. In conseIu .nce
the young man received notice yesterday
that his name would be dropped from the
payroll for thirty days, which means
loss OF SEQ for his politeness.
Apologies, entreaties and the personal
interference in behalf of Tolson by Dr.
and Mrs. Powers, az well as other witnesses
of the affair, all OF when now state that
the Senator was wrong, and many even $50
far as to say that he acted in an ungentle-
manly manner
As result the employees OF the board
have taken up the matter, and interesting
developments are expected. Mr.. Tolson
has been employed by the company for sew
eral years, is said to have always borne on
excellent re putation, and never has had any
charges entered against him before, and
the loss OF his wages, and the alleged IN
jury to his reputation may result in his
carrying the matter further into court

Passengers on a Fourteenth street cable
car a few evenings since witnessed an
exciting incident between Hon. George F.
Hoar. the senior member of the upper house
from the State OF Massachusetts, and Mr..
C. Tolson, the conductor of the train.
The venerable Senator from the Bay
State ha1 finished his ardlous duties at
the Capitol. and was on his way home about
6 o'clock in the evening
Atthe corner of sixth street and Penn
sylvania avenue he signaled a Fourteenth
street car, and when it came to a stop
started to board it.
The old gentleman has passed lie allotted
age OF three score years and ten, but is
sun spriyhtiy, and always spdrns the in
situation that he is feeble or needs as
sistance.
THE CONDUCTORS ACT.
Everyone who has seen the Senator has
observed his stumbling gait, and Conductor
Tolson, noticing it, stood aside on the
platform, after opening the dor, and. reach
ing down, caught the .solon under the
arm and gave him a friendly lift.
This was in accordance with the com
PANS Instructions to assist aged people,
and in fact Gas nothing more than common
politeness and good manners, but the Sen
ator did not take kindly toit, and failing TO
accept the kindness in the manner in " hieh
it was intended, his wrath exploded.
According to the testimony of the passen
gers, the Senator's language was anything
bat complimentary or expressive of graf
itude- He gave fun vent to his sentiments
regarding conductors W no do not mind their
own business, and gave the man to under
stand that he was able to get on and off
a car without aDybody's aid.
Immediately there was CONSERVATION in
the ear, a nj several passengers spoke to the
irate lawmaker, and attempted to pacify
him, but this only added fuel to the flame,
and the car was delayed for some few mo-
ments, pending settlement Of the diff

Pears were excellent in few
places only, and generally suffered
the same injury with like results as
apples aud peaches did. B!i ght at
fected fruit trees seriously, and in
places where never before known
Plums, apricots and cherries were
failures.
The reports on grapes indicate a
uniform excellence of condition
throughout the State, with local ex-
ceptions where they are rotting more
or less, and one report from Lsxing-
ton. where they are pronounced q
failure, but this condition will not
apply to the whole country. The
quality of grapes is pronounced ex-
cellent everywhere, and summing up
all reports. grapes are full average
both as to quality and quantity. The
bullace family of grapes are an abun-
dant crop.
Cultivated berries did fairly well,
and wild berries were exceedingly
plentiful and of fine quality.
Cucurbitaceous fruit, such as wa
melons and cantaloupes, was plentiful
but rather of inferior quality and
size.
On the whole the season was poor
one for fruit, and the main reason
assigned by correspondents was the
excessive heat during May, CO exist
ing with severe doughty conditions,
and after the heat moderated and the
drought was relieved, insects dam
aged the remaining fruit, or the rains
caused it to rot, so that there was a
steady decline in condition from the
time fruit blossomed until maturity.

The Railroad Cut Rates.
The Southern Must Withdraw OF
the Fight Goes On.

ATLANTA, July 23.-A committee
from the legislative board of the South
ern Freight association had confer
ence to-day with Vice Presden. St.
John of the Seaboard Air Line in
reference to the cut rates which that
line had put in force from Baltimore
to the south. Mr.. St. John stated that
be would be pleased to hear any state
ment which the com mittee had to pre-
sent, but that be would ask the privi-
lege of making his reply iu writing
later in the day, so the committee did
all the talking. 1t was composed Of
President Thomas of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis, President
George c. Smith of the Atlanta and
West Point, Traffic Manager W. L.
Guiladeau of the Old Dominion Steam
ship company, Traffic Manager Whit.
ney of the Merchants and Miners
Steamship company and General
Manager Scott Of the Georgia railroad.
They asked Mr.. St. John to with
draw his cut rates, which threaten gen.
eral decentralization and vast loss of
revenue to all lines 10 the south. 10
his written reply, which was handed to
to Chairman Thomas this afternoon,
Mr. St. John recites what be declares
to be the efforts Of the Southern rail-
way to crush the Seaboard. with the
view to defeating competition. He
concludes by asking: "Shall it be
the withdrawal of the Southern's new
line of steamers between Baltimore
and Norfolk and the making Of salts
factory through car arrangements,
easily to be accomplished and the saw
ing of the revenue thereby to the
Southern and other lines, or shall! it be
the disruption of all rates through
thousands of miles territory and the
consequent loss to it of millions of re
venue, with a more speedy necessity
for the reorganization of its (he
Southern system The problem is
theirs to solve, not ours. We do not
fear either the problem or the South
ern. Our cause is just, aud sooner or
later the right will prevail.

particularly fine presentation of the
cause of free silver. He made a
good impression in Barnwel', and so
did Mr.. Duncan very much better
than any one thought possible Gov
ernor Evans was picked up at Den
mark this morning, and General
Earle. Congressman Talbert, slessrs
Harrison, Whitman and others joined
the party at Blackvile.
The meeting to-day was held on
the public square, in front of the
country court house, on the same
stand where preceding meetings have
been held. 1t was an insutferably
hot day, and the spreading boaghs Of
the oaks on the square failed utterly
to break the force Of the intense rays
of the sun There were fully 500
men around the stand and ladies were
to be seen at some little distance.
The crowd was good natured, quiet
and orderly, and by its excellent be-
hayior reflected much credit on the
county Solicitor Bellinger, the
county chairman, and his committee,
had everything arranged for the COM
fort of the party, and the meeting
was we'll managed. When the meet
ing had once started there was unln-
terrupted speaking. and the press
representatives had all they wanted

know it, when he acted as counsel in
both the friendly suits brought be-
fore the supreme court, in connection
with the bond issue. His connec.
ton with the case is a matter of re-
cord What l stated at Walterboro
was true then and is true still Gov
ernor Evans had nothing to do with
the making of the contract or the
signing Of it. That was the work of
Dr.. Bates and myself. Rhind organ
lied the syndicate with the assistance
of Lancaster and Williams, and they
agreed to pay him certain commits.
sion DR.. Bates aud |, responsible
instruments in the transaction, were
in constant dread that the deal would
fall through and the State debt not be
refunded, as one obstacle after an.
other presented itself. The judges of
the supreme court lent every assis-
tance in their power by speedily
determining the questions of law pre-.
sented to them Every department
of the State government was willing
and anxious to lend aid towards re-
funding the debt.
Governor Evans had nothing to
do with the transaction except in
his capacity as attorney for the broker,
whose commission was at stake if
the deal failed.
If you were not blinded by pre-
judice and passion you would be
bound to acknowledge what every
lawyer in the State would assert and
sustain-that his being State sena-
tor could in no wise make it dishon-
orable OF dishonest to pratice his pro-
fession under the circumstances pre-
sented in this case. If you will re-
member, my last words to you that
night when we had our converaticn
at Mr.. Bunch's, we're: "Take care
that envy is not at the bottom of this,
and that the people in the State
House do not accomplish the over
throw of the Reform movement, if
you keep on fighting one another in
this way and now I repeat the
warning.
If saw anything in Governor
Evans conduct to condemn, would
not hesitate, but believing, as do.
that he has been guilty of no official
misconduct, I cannot lend any help
to drag him down or allow any one
else to use me as the instrument of
his undoing. Yours truly,
B. R Tillman.
P. S. Governor Evans has writ
ten me asking an explanation Of your
charges, etc in connection with our
conversation, and l have sent him a
copy of this letter as an act Of justice
to him and to you. B. R. I.
