Shiloh Letter.

SHILOH, S. c., March 7, lS9e.-The an.
uouncemeot Of the death of Mr.. John Tyler.
of Sally, Aiken county, on the 2nd inst,
caused gloom of sadness to spread over this
community. Mr.. Tyler's death was sudden
and unexpected, as he left here about two
weeks ago in apparently good health, to re-
turn to his home at the above named place.
The telegram concerning the sad news was
great shock to his sister, Mrs. Frierson Chan
dler, who hes our deepest sympathies. The
particulars Of his death have not been re-
ceived.
Mr.. ELY Minis lost two log houses on the
I'd inst, by FIRE, and his entire lot of build
ings narrowly escaped the flames. Plenty of
assistance and a favorable wind, prevented
the destruction of all his corn-about 900
bushcls-and other farm produce. In one
of the burned houses, about three tons Of
guano were stored. The origin of the FIRE is
unknown.

man seem to each havea pretty good store
of ammuoition. The former seems invinci-

teachers, we think the public schools
are doing a much better work than most
people would be apt to imagiue-length-

for beyood these we have no practical
knowledge of any others.
Privateer Township has remarkably
we'll behaved set of school children.
Duriog our visits the behavior of the
children was exceptionally good As
a rule the boys and girls sit seperate 10
the colored schools.

popular education as it is conducted 10

gard to other features of these schools
but We must close this already long let

the Milly Weeks case Jim Weeks being
expected, of course, not only this, but the
adjoining townships were eager to see him,
but as be had made full confession TO the
coroner and jailer, it was not thought neces-
sary to have him brought before the jury.
Weeks plead guilty, however, only to the
burying of his wife in secrecy, saying she
had died natural death, and his reasons for
burying her in the manner be did, was
poverty-not being able to buy a cofin, ETC.
Coroner Commander came over to-day and
concluded the case. A sister of the deceased
testified that her brotherin.law, Jim Weeks,
told her that her sister bad died happy, and
sing mighty putty, sperelual before she

was no funeral.
Thejury took oo!y very short time to

SPANIARDS IN SPAIN
RAISING A CLOUD OF
DUST.

Madrid, March S-The actions of
the mob element IN Valencia became so
threatening to-day that martial law was
proclaimed in that city tonight. A
crowd numbering fully 10000 persons
met outside the bull ring aud attempted
to enter that place for the purpose of
holding meeting to express anti.
American sentiments. The authorities
have issued an order forbidding the
holding of such meetings. but no at
tentioo was paid it. The gendarmes
at the bull ring refused to allow the
mob to enter aud we're told that they
were traitors to Spain. Then some
person 10 the crowd cried "Loug live
the republic whereupoo the gen
darmes charged the mob. The crowd
answered with several revolver shots,
and one Of the gendarmes was seriously
wounded in the chest. The situation
had assumed such a menaciog aspect
that orders we're given to the geudarmes
to 6re upon the mob. A volley was
fred from the carbioes carried by the
geudarmes and the crowd scurried for
shelter.
It is not known positively whether
anybody was shot or not, but it is be-
iieved that the volley was fred over the
heads of the rioters.
Later the courage of she crowd re-
turned aud. with augmented numbers,
the mob marched through the streets
shouting, ''Long live Spain J" ''Death
to the Yankees!'' The police and gen.
darmes repeatedly opposed the crowd,
bat their efforts to restore order were
aot Of the slightest avail.
The governor Of the province then
proclaimed martial law, and any fur
ther riosing will be deals with sternly
by the military powers.
The governor, acting under inpera-
tive order from Madrid, had ooncen-
trated strong force around the Ameri.

pass these guards, but were unable to
do So Then they. with a volubility
