Tom Brown, manager Of the Senators,
likes to tell OF a cricket game he wit
messed while abroad with the globe trot-
tiers OF 'SS. "While we were in England" "
says the Washington ball player, 1--WE
were invited to cricket match at Kens-
ington Oval. DR.. Grace was there with
his splendid team, and the game was
close and keenly contested. At critical
stage of the struggle, one of the players
excused himself as he was at the wicket
and yelled to one of the bat boys "Say,
there, young chappie, fetch me a glawss
of water the afternoon is SO fahtiguing you
know We ridiculed this interruption,
and DR.. Grace asked: Aren't you Amer
lean baseball players allowed to stop for
glass of water when you are playing?
Why, that must be worse than solitary
confinement Still, DR.. Grace tried to
argue that baseball was very tame affair
compared with cricket. During our
games in England, the various cricket
clubs that entertained us insisted that
we should split the games in halves and
call time for refreshments after the fifth
inning. After light lunch we returned
to the diamond and finished the game"

any appeals for sympathy as charged.
All he asked for was justice and fair
play, and he mentioned the incident of
the day, and the day before, when conf
ing as he did into this congressional dis
trict, he felt that he had a right to expect
office. Yet he had been attacked gratu-
itously. and absolutely without warrant.
This, he thought, was, to say the least,
uncharitable, and he assured the other
candidates, one and all, that when they
come down in the Sixth district, all of
them would be treated with courtesy, and
none of the candidates down there would
assume to take hand in fight that was
none of their business. Referring again
to the dark charges and insinnations on!
which were being hurled against him,
Mr.. McLaurin laid his hand upon his
breast, and said the Great God that looks
down from above knows that every heart
throb here is for South Carolina and the
principles of her people!
His last remarks were sngularly touch
ing. During their deliverance the silence
in the courtroom WAS such as could al
most be fe t. He seemed to have the
sympathy of almost every member of the
big audience, and when he turned away,
there was nothing left for his hearers but
to give vent to their feelings with cheer,
and it was given with a will.
When he had finished, Mr.. McLaurin
turned to his table as if to gather up the
notes he had been using in his speech.
He was noticed to place his hands apart,
as if in a kind Of a study. Then he sud
denly went down, and friends who rushed
to his assistance, found him insensible.
He was carried to an adjoining room,
and, after several minutes, was resuscita-
ted with great difficulty. DR.. w. G..
White, who happened to be near, took
charge of the case and gave him some
nitro-glycerine tablets to strengthen the
action Of his heart, and after quarter OF
an hour he was recovered sufficiently to
admit of his removal to the hotei. Yer
tigo, caused by long continued physical
and mental strain, was the trouble, and
although the senator is an unusually pow
erful man with strong constitution, the
attack came within hairsbreadth OF
proving fatal.
Senator McLaurin remained in his bed
at the Parish hotel until yesterday morn.
ing, when he left by way Of the o. K. and
C. train for his home in Bennettsville.
He was physically unable to attend either
the meeting at Lancaster yesterday or at
Camden today, and decided that he would
make no effort so to do.

ABOUT A WOMAN.

A Negro named Henry Fry, alias Jones,
shot and killed Andrew Darby, another
Negro, in Yorkville. last Tuesday night,
in a fit of. jealousy over Negro woman
named Nancy Patterson.
The Negroes mentioned, along with
others, were returning from preaching at
the colored Baptist church, on Chester
street, near the old Narrow Gauge depot.
Darby was walking along with the Pat
terson woman. He had in his pocket a
fan. Fry took the fan and Darby grabbed
him. There followed brief struggle be-
tween the two men, and while it was IN
progress, Fry drew his revolver, pressed
it against Darby's abdomen and fired.
Darby fell to the ground at once. Fry
fired several other shots without effect,
and then made good his escape.
The shooting occurred at about mid
night. The wounded Negro was carried
to the office of DR.. Miles Walker as soon
as possible. He was very weak but was
still conscious and requested DR.. Walker
to do what he could. Although it was
clear that the wound was of desperate
nature, DR.. Walker at once set about
making arrangements to follow the bullet
and sew up such holes as it had made IN
its course. The Negro died before the
operation could be commenced.
Coroner Brian summoned jury on
Wednesday and commenced an inquest,
at which the facts of the killing were
developed about as stated, and the verdict
was in accordance Herewith.
The post mortem examination, which
was performed by DR.. Miles Walker, as
sisted by DR.. G. F. Williams, disclosed
the fact that the bullet, which was OF 81
calibre, had entered the abdomen. and
cut the intestines in several places. Death
was caused by hemorrhage, produced, OF
course, by the bullet.
Both of the Negroes came here from
North Carolina; Darby from Mecklen-
burg county, and Fry from Gastonia.
They have been about Yorkville for some
time; Darby working at whatever he
could get to do, and Fry spending his
time in liquor.selling and gambling.
Darby's reputation for good behavior
generally, has been quite creditable. Fry,
however, has all along been classed by
the Negroes who knew him as a bad
man.

= Secretary of the Interior Bliss has

- Secretary of the Interior Bliss has
taken coguizance of the rush TO the
Klondike gold fields of Alaska, and
has issued the following official warn
ing to the public. "To whom it may
concern: In view of information re-
ceived at this department that 5000
persons, with 1000 tons of baggage
and freight, are now waiting at the
entrance to White Pass, in Alaska, foi
an opportunity to cross the mountains
to the Yukon river, and that many
more are preparing to join them, l
deem it proper to call the attention of
all who contemplate making the trip
to the exposure, privation, suffering
and danger incident thereto at this
advanced period of the season, even
if they should succeed in crossing the
mountains. To reach Dawson City,
when over the pass, 700 miles of diff
cult navigation on the Yukon river,
without adequate means of transpor-
tation, will still be before them, and it
is doubtful if the journey can be COM
pleted before the river is closed by ice.
1 am moved to draw public notice to
these conditions by the gravity of the
possible consequences to people de-
tanned in the mountainous wilderness
during FIVE or six months of an arctic
winter, where no relief can reach
them, however great the need"

part of Cherokee, leaving the total for
York at 269, while the present list, as
includes only 253 names, or

THESE GET PENSIONS.

The state pension board has been very
slow this year in the work of sending OF {
checks to the old soldiers entitled to PEN

alleged fact that there has been delay on

sending in their reports. Just how this
is, cannot be stated with certainty; but
approaching the great interest Of those
who have made their applications, as to
whether or not their applications have
been granted, THE ENQUIRER has gone

New Cabinet Officer Proposed In South
 America.
 Dr. Andrade, son of the Venezuelan minister, has returned from Mexico City. He was ono of tho Venezuelan delegates to tho Pan n-Amerioan Medical congress. He and his associates succeed ed in having Caracas named as the place of holding the next convention, on Dec. 25, 1899. Cuba and Canada were the other competitors for the honor.
 pr. Andrade says the congress is ac- complishing much good i'll securing uni form safeguards against yellow fever and other diseases prevalent in the Americas. It was determined to recom- mend a minister of health as one of the cabinet officers of the various countries, and one of the standing committees is developing plan of uniform quaran- tine.
 There was much interest shown in Mexico as to tho Venezuelan boundary settlement, and Dr. Andrade,s views were solicited. but owing to his con- neotion with tho legation here ho de- clined to be interviewed. The general feeling was most favorable to the set clement made.
