deacons of our Edgefleld village Bap-

usefulness and marked success in his

DR.. .SwaltneY's charge to the newly

and deeply impressive. He evidently
feels nearer his audience when on the
floor Of the church than in the pulpit
and he en- such occasions gets closer
to our inner selves for it is then that
the lips utter wnat mind, heart, and
soul think and hope and yearn for.

night and day, our people, some of

the chief danger lay. Some of them
ran to the roof and escaped in that way,
but others sought to get down by the
stairway.
Miss Margaret Ryan and Miss Kate
Virgins, one of the household on being
awakened, ran 10 the front window on
the third floor, where they lived. The
tiremen had already arrived and ladders
had been placed on the front side to
help take out the tenants. One of these
ladders held Fireman Walsh. AS he
was ascending, a burst of flame and
smoke shot out of one of the windows
and he was sent Keeling to the street.
AS Walsh fell Miss Ryan leaped from
the window to the sidewalk, and Miss
Virgins, apparently overcome by the
smoke in the rooms above, fell to the
ground at almost the same time.
Miss Ryan died before the hospital
was reached. Walsh is badly but prob
ably not dangerously hurt. After the
fire had been extinguished the bodies
of Thomas Malloy, Archibald Grogan
and Mary Mcmahon were found. All
of the persons found dead had been suf-
located before they were able to es-
cape.
How the fire originated can not be
determined until a thorough investiga-
ton is made. The property loss will
not exceed $4,000.

HARRISON HAPPY.

He Celebrates the Last Sunday of His
Single Blessedness.
indianapolis, Ind., March 29.-TOday
was made the occasion of an suspicious
event at the home of ex-President Harri,
son in this city. 1t was the last Sun
day prior to his marriage with Mrs. Dim,
mick and he celebrated the occasion by
giving a dinner to his son, Russell Harri,
son and wife, Mrs. Mckee and the lat
ter's two children. 1t was purely a
family affair and is considered as a sig,
nifcant announcement that. whatever
differences may have existed between
the ex-president and his children on &c.
count of his approaching nuptials have
at last been smOothed over. That this
is the case is evidenced by statement
said to have been made by Russell Har
rison today in which he assured his
friends that only the most amicable rela.
tons exist between the children and
father.
General Harrison and his retinue will
leave this city on Tuesday for New York
to prepare for the marriage.
Mrs. Mckee and children and Russell
Harrison and the latter's wife will ac,
company him.

Campion is interested in some of the
biggest gold mines in Colorado.
Lavender and Campion are Denver law
yers. They are charged with .conspiring
to defraud plaintiff out of three eighths
interest in mining property said to be
worth 100000. According, to the aft
davit, 1000 acres of valuable collaborating
land in California were owned and work
ed in 1886 by Mr.. Griggs, Amos Telney,
William Jndson, Alfred X, Ware and
Mason B. Carpenter. In 1887 Carpenter
said that he could sell the property to
John Farwell. the Chicago millionaire,
for S1.OOOOOO. Arrangement was made
by which the deals were turned over to
the new corporation known as the Vic
toria Mining company. Carpenter, it is
alleged, had himself elected president and
employees elected to the other offices. The
new company held all of the valuable
property. but, according to Griggs, none
of the $5,0O0,000 in stock, as provided in
any one else Carpenter, in 1893, as pres
ident, put ON $4,000 trust deed, payable
in 30 days This was made out to Chas.
Lavender for the benefit of Campion. At
the expiration of that time the deed was
foreclosed and the property sold to Cam
pion for SHASTA. The transaction was
not recorded, it is alleged, for some time
after the sale, and Griggs did not learn
about it until Carpenter wrote him to say
that the property had been bought in by a
mortgage and that he, Carpenter, and
Griggs, had lost all Griggs went to Den
yer and found that the mining property
was being successfully worked by new
corporation known as the Wapiti Mining
company, of which Campion is president
and in which Carpenter is said to have
a one-eighth interest.
Griggs had long before transferred his
interest in the mining property to his
wife. hence it is she who makes the COM
plant.

HAWAIIAN CABLE SCHEME.

San Francisco. March 29.-Inquiry re

last August. Upon application from Col
Onel u. Il. Spaulding, the Hawaiian leg.
islature offered to let him land. cable on
any of the Hawaiian islands and in add.
ton give him subsidy of $4,000 year
provided he should obtain an equal sub.
sidy from the United States government
Other minor stipulations were mentioned,
including certain number of govern
ment messages. which should be transmit
ted without cost. Under the terms, by
which the United States government OBJ
tanned the use of Pearl harbOr as a cOaling
station. it is said this government has a
right to land a cable at that point.

OpeIika, Ala, March 31.-FOur thou
sand people are destitute and suffering
at Phoenix City, in this county, caused
by the strike at the Eagle and Phoenix
mills in Columbus, Ga. These mills are
the largest in the South and, including
the families of operatives, there are
1000 people dependent upon the mills for
living. The mills have been cutting
wages recently and Monday cut them so
