SENSATIONAL COWHIDlNG.
Conductor Hoffman Lays the Whip Upon ST.
perintendent Wells Of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 26.-Superintend-
ent p. T. Wells of the Charlotte, Column
bia and Augusta railway was cowhided
here this afternoon about 3 O'Clock by
Charles c. Hoffman. a we'll known freight
conductor of the same line. Hoffman
had been told yesterday morning that
Wells had said that he and the ticket
agent at Fort Mill, s. c., wanted to
"whack up" on tickets, the latter selling
the tickets and the former not punch
ing them. Wells, with several other SUI
perintendents of divisions, and General
Manager Green came to Charlotte this
morning to conduct a railroad exa1nina-
ton. About o'clock, while the, exam
nation was going on, Hoffman entered
the room and, after cursing Wells, round
ly struck him twice across the face with
a cowhide and then slapped him in the
face. Wells did not rise from his chair,
nor did he say anything but deny having
made the accusation against Hoffman.
The railroad men present pulled Hoffman
off Wells. Talk is rife amongst the rail-
road men of the affair. Hoffman has
been a freight conductor on the road for
six years. This is the first trouble he
has been in with his employers

and Hurley, Wis, just across the Mon
treal river from Ironwood, narrowly es-
capped total destruction by fire yesterday,
and for some time it looked as If there
would be a repetition of the Phillips and
Sandstone disasters of last summer. A
terrific wind from the south started about
noon, and, blowing the smouldering for
est fires around the places into flames.
soon covered the cities with dense
smoke and sparks and hot cinders. The
fire departments from both cities re-
sponded, and the citizens turned out in
a body and fought the flames back for
hours Several houses on the outskirts
were soon on fire, and although every
effort was made to save them four dwell
ings of poor families were burned. AS
evening came on the wind changed and
the danger was averted. Everything is
dry as finder here. and unless there is
rain soon there is danger of both towns
being destroyed.

Some of the most substantial men, the

"I am not In it" to some one on the

quibbling was caused when 1t was moved
that the resolutions be published in the

however. The meeting adjourned after
