Mrs. Rupp ought to be in better busi-
ness than spying on her neighbors or
some words to that effect.
Mrs. Rupp's husband, who was
standing near overheard the remark
and like a fash was at the throat of
his wifes maligner. There was all
kinds of commotion there for tin q
and it required two constables'
strength, Mrs. Rupp's entreaties and
the alderman's threat to send Rupp
to Jail to cause the infuriated husband
to subside.
The alderman gave him q lecture
which caused him to cool off quite as
rapidly as he flared up.

Columbia. Mny 2O.-Unitcl States
Senator ,'oSrph IL, Ea'lr. who was
elected last Janruary, died at his
residence in Grrruvilc this after
noon at ,.}1 o'clock. He had been
i'll for several weeks, but urtil yrS
tcrdAv hopes were entertained Of
his rycovrry. His death is uni>rr-
sally depl0rrl. Governor E.llrrbr will
have to appoint his successor to servo
until the General Assembly meets
next wlntrr, when it will elect Sen
a,or for the uncNpircd term. Con-
grrssman McLaurin and Attorney
General Barber are mentioned in
connection with the appointment.
As yet the public sorrow is too great
for the question Of Il successor to re-
crivc much attention. Governor El-
lrrhr is absent from the city.
The News Of the death of Senator
Earle, although expected at any
moment, WAS very much Of shock
to Columbia. Every ono had hoped
that his life would be spared. On
all sides wcr" heard expressions of
regret that his life should have been
cut short at this time. He had lust
entered on what promised to be n
most crcditable and brilliant career.
and that it should have bccn ended
almost before it began is very sad.
Gcn. Earle had Il great many warm
personal friends and admirers in
Columbia, who take his death hard.
BY coincidence the State Demo.
cratic executive committee will meet
here tomorrow in regard 70 the Dor
chester protest, and the suggestion
is made that a request will be made
that the Democratic party mako a
suggestion as to tho nominee for the
torn from now until aJanruarv, as
we'll as for the remainder of the term.
Gen. Earle was known in every ham.
let of the State, and news Of his
death, which has spread rapidly. will
be sad news to every part Of Caro-
lima.
