CIRCUIT COURT.

The case of J. B. Ross against Jones,
Blanton IL Co., upon which the court was
engaged when the last issue of THE EN-
qUERER went to press, was not completed
until last Saturday afternoon. The jury
remained out for several hours, ard at
about II o'clock p. M, returned with
verdict for $500. The amount claimed
was about $50, 900.
The motion to dismiss the temporary
Injunction in the case Of j. II. Riddle,
administrator, VS. NJ. r. Reese, was heard
last Saturday afternoon. AS has already
been stated, in this case Messrs. Hart d
Hart, Mrs. Jennie Roberts, and T.. A.
Trescott, Esq, are trying to establish GER
tain claims against the estate of Reese.
These claims, if established, will come in
ahead of the $1,000 judgment that has
been rendered against the estate of Reese
in favor of J. II. Riddle, administrator.
In order to prevent the establishment OF
the claims in question, j. II. Riddle, ad-
ministrator, obtained temporary injunc-
ton, the bill charging the claimants re-
ferred to with deception and fraud. The
atlidavits read on the hearing Saturday
afternoon included some pretty warm
reading. There was also some talk be-
tween the lawyers which can be very well
described as decidedly hot. His honor
declined to make the injunction perma-
nent, and as the result, the claims OF
Messrs. Hart Il Hart and others if they
can be established will be paid before the
Judgment of Riddle, administrator.
The first case taken up on Monday was
that of p. B. Wilson against the .. IL. "
C. railroad. 1t seems that Wilson was q
sectionmaster in the employ OF the rail-
road. On the 5th of November, 1876,
while boarding material train near
Sharon, he fell between two cars and had
his left foot crushed SO badly that he has
been unable to work since. He alleged
that the accident was due to carelessness
of the engineer of the train in starting OIL
without giving any signal by means OF
the whistle, bell or otherwise. The rail-
road people claimed that the plaintiff was
injured through his own carelessness and

is not willing to guarantee choice seats
to those who fail to buy tickets before

The Cotton Market.
The best price paid for cotton on the
Yorkville market yesterday was st. The
ruling price for good grades, however,
was from about to $40.
Transfer of Real Estate.
Mr.. w. r. Carroll, Of Yorkville, has
bought the Garrison farm, near Philadel-
phia church, four miles south of York
Vile. The farm consists of about 100
acres and the purchase price was 1900.
Another Fire at Lowrysville.
A big light was seen in southern
direction by many people of Yorkville
last Saturday night at about 8 o'clock.
At the time it was thought there was
a fire in progress at Guthriesville. A
postal card from correspondent at Nc
Connellsville, brings the news that the
fire was at Lowrysville-Mr. r. s. Hopes
cotton house. In addition to the build
ing, about four bales of cotton and
quantity of seed was destroyed. This
is the second mishap Of the kind that
has happened to Mr.. Hope within the
past few months.
To Much For Him.
Judge Benet has the reputation of being
quite hustler when 1t comes to keeping
the business of the court on the move;
but the present session has been almost
too much for him. Several times on ac-
count of the absence Of witnesses, etc.,
business has been brought to a standstill,
sorely tempting his honor to adjourn
court and 90 home. But now everything
seems to be in good working order, and
the present outlook is that the juries will
be held here until the latter part of next
week.
Victim of Pickpocket.
Fort Mill Times: The Wallace shows
exhibited in Rock Hill OH Wednesday.
A good crowd of Fort Mill people attend

ed with the circus. Mr.. Erwin, on pay
ing for his ticket into the side show,
placed his purse and contents 30
in one of his pants pock cts, never think
ing of pickpockets. When he came out
of the side show he felt for his purse to
take out the amount charged for ticket
to the big show; but the purse and mon
ey could not be found, and Mr.. Erwin
has not the slightest idea how it was taken
from his pocket.
Minstrel Show Next Friday.
Manager Herndon has an extraordina-
ry attraction at the opera house next Fri
day night. 1t is a combination Of Rich
ards q Pringle's famous Georgia, with
Rusco & Hollands operate minstrels.
The Georgia minstrels are mostly Me-
groes; but as show they stand away up
in &C." The combination has been to
Europe. and has played in almost every
large city in the United States to crowded
houses. In all there are forty people, in
Guiding Billy Kersands, the Negro, and
other noted comedians. To create laugh
ter is the business of the minstrels and
they generally succeed. The sale Of re-
served seats has already been commenced
at lively rate, and the probability is
that the opera house will be crowded.

The news from London, to the effect
that the little trouble between Greece and
Turkey is not settled yet; bnt is likely to
break out afresh in new place soon, is
in easy accord with what those who have
been watching the situation closely have
been thinking all the while. Even while
the late clash was on, it was not the opin-
ion of a great many people that the real
issue was between Greece and Turkey.
Both countries are mere puppets in the
hands of the more powerful European
governments, and the so-called war was
but the opening of a big game that was
to follow. Just what is to come next, of
course, cannot be definitely foretold; but
with all the study, preparation and ma
nipulation that has been going on in
Europe for many years past, it is not
likely that little holiday affair like that
between Greece and Turkey will put an
end to the fireworks.

- The purpose OF Mr.. John T. Roddey
to himself undertake the organization
of his proposed cotton trust, is at least
strong indication Of faith. If he goes into
the matter seriously, it will also be re-
markable exhibition Of nerve. But al
the same time, the scheme does not ap-
pear to be impracticable. More difficult
achievements are witnessed every year.
All other trusts are against the interest OF
all classes of people. This one holds out
the promise Of benefit to many without
injury to any. 1t commends itself to the
support of all the cotton producers of the
south, and it would seem that to secure
their hearty cooperation, should be easy.
This accomplished and Mr.. Roddey's big
undertaking will be more than half car
ried out.

of the trust would not only be in a
position to tell the spinners what it
would take for lint; but it would also
dictate to the farmers what it would give
for seed cotton. There are others besides
Roddey who are studying the possibilities
of the cotton trust idea, and among the
plans that are being considered are some
which are not nearly so favorable to the

speech from President Mckinley, but
he preferred to meet his Ohio friends
personally, and therefore held re-

New Orleans, June 12.-ArcE bishop

From New York he was to lake a ship

view is reported as saying that the al
alleged demands of the United States
in the case of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz, the
American citizen who expired in Jail
at GuanabacOa, apparently from iniu-
ries received there, must be exagger
ated. The premier added, however.
that if the widow of Ruiz demanded
an indemnity and such claim was
shown to be justified that Spain would
see that justice was done. Senior Ca

Kinley has any unfriendly feeling to-

departs from its friendly attitude
Spain will be able to defend her
rights"

Steamer Valencia Arrives and
Reports the Occur
renee.
NEWS FROM CUBA'S PRESIDENT.
When the Spanish WarShip Saw the Amer
lean Flag She Got Out Of Sight
in Hurry.

New York, June l2.-The Ward line
steamer Valencia, Captain Skillings,
arrived today from southside Cuban
ports. In relation to the firing on the
Valencia by Spanish cruiser, 1t is
learned that shortly after noon on
Thursday, May 27, as the ship was
leaving the harbOr of. Guantanamo,
having already saluted the forts and
taken down her colors, the Maria
Mercedes bore down and fired blank
shot across the Valencia's bow. This
was quickly followed by a solid shot,
which dropped close under the ships
stern. The Valencia then showed her
colors aDd the cruiser quickly with
drew.
Among the passengers who landed
on the Valencia was DR.. r.. w. Dam
forth of Milwaukee, who for the past
fifteen months has been the personal
| physician of the president of the Gu
ban republic, Salvador Cisneros, Mar
quis of Santa Lucia, The doctor is in
the United States on SIX months
leave of absence, having left Cuba May
30 in a 16 foot boat for the island of
New Providence. After much suffer
ing and exposure he reached Nassau
and there awaited the Valencia. Ac-
cording to Spanish reports President
CisnerOs, died February last, and this
news was semi off ;ially confirmed in
March.
But DR.. Danf0rth was with the pres
ident as late as April 6, and has IN his
possession letters dated April 20, from
the president, gong to prove that the
latter is not only not dead, but when

of enthusiasm and was animated by
the most confident feeling for the
eventful success of the Cuban cause.
When questioned as to the seat of gov
ernment of the Cuban republic, DIR.
Danforth SAID it was at Agura, In the
province of Puerto Principe, where
the insurgents have erected their cap
itOl. Asked as to the numerical
strength of the Cuban insurgents, he
said:
"The Cubans for certainty have at
least from 10000 to $4,000 men today
armed and in good shape. The Gu
bans have not been idle during the
last few years; they have been I'M
porting arms and ammunition right
along; in brief, the Cubans are fight
ing a desperate fight and are in good
condition to continue it.. The Span
ish are also engaged in desperate
contest, but they are exhausted or al
most so. | certainly think the Cubans
will succeed, not by reason of numeri-
cal strength, for the Spanards have
about 10000 men in the field. But
there is no question but that the Cu-
bans will ultimately win, All their
leaders are sworn not to give up until
they are dead. They are bound by an
oath to fight until the last and they
will do s0.''
