Through to the Ohio.
The story to the effect that the Ohio

has at last completed it's arrangements
for the extension of its line to the Ohio

heard statement that the company has
the promise of funds to the amount of
81, 900, 900, and that work will surely COM
mence and be completed this coming
summer. While the story is more plau-
siole than otherwise, it is given here only
for what it may be worth, without the

Pretty Visitors from winthrop.
Five pretty Winthrop students, under
the chaperonage Of Miss Wicker, of the

Saturday in hack, drawn by spanking
grays, and were entertained at the resi-
dence of Mrs. s. NJ. McNeel by Miss
Hulda. The students were Misses Wan
namaker, Rhett, Laval, Young, Love and
Swaffield. Although the day was rather
wet, they were shown over the town
by number Of young men, and the par
ty did not fail to visit the Office of The
ENQUIRER.
Board of Control.
The county board of dispensary con-
troll, held its regular monthly meeting in
Yorkville last Monday. All the men,
bers were present. Messrs. Dye and
Moore sent in their designations as mem
bers of the board Mr.. Dye because he is
no longer a citizen of York county, and
MIR. Moore because Of business engage
ments which prevent his giving proper
attention to his duties on the hoard. AS
their successors they recommended Mr..
w. b. Moore, Of Yorkville, and Mr.. j.
b. Barron, Of Tirzah. The papers in re-
gard to the removal of the dispensary
from Tirzah were forwarded TO the state
board without recommendation, leaving
that body free to act in the matter as it
may see fit.
Tragedy at Pineville.
Ed Nivens. white man, was shot at
Pineville last Saturday by John Marshall,
a Negro. Nivens had warrant for the
arrest of the Negro and was trying to
read it, when the Negro suddenly pulled
pistol and fired. The ball took effect in
Nivens's body just under the heart, and
the information ofthe reporter on Monday
was to the effect that the wound would
speedily prove fatal. Marshall fled after
the shooting, and was afterward followed
by parties OF white men, who were de-
term ined to arrest him if possible. The
pursuing parties we're we'll armed and it
tol fN fhn rannrtQr that zach
party was provided with one or more
plow lines.
Serious Damage.
AS the result of the heavy rain Of last
SUNDAY night, nearly all of the water
courses in the county were raised to al
most unprecedented heights. Catawba
and Broad rivers were both booming on
Monday. The Catawba was so high as
to be past ferrying at any point below
Wiight's, and Mr.. Tom Smith, who lives
in sight of Broad river, says that he could
stand in his yard on Monday and easily
distinguish the rising of the waters. The
bridge across Fishing creek, on the Char
lotte road, was washed away, and the
bridge across Turkey creek, at Scott's
mill, was damaged. There is reason to
believe that other bridges have been de-
stroyed but rs yet there is no reliable in
formation from them. Quite number
of farmers who have been putting in the
spring terracing their lands, report that
all of their work was undone Sunday
night in u few hours. The loss by Sum
day nights rain over the county probably
amounts to thousands of dollars
