Th, unpleasant story comes from Prl-
vataer in this State. that IA man came
near 10 being buried alive" at that place
a few DAYS ago. The incident Is reported
very briefly by our Sumter correspondent
as follows:
1.-THE man had been sick for seVerai
weeks with grip, and his death was mo
mentarily expected. Finally his appe"r-
ance led his family and friends 10 CON
clude that he had died. Accordingly pre-
paratons were made for ms lnterIhsn''
and a burial robe was put on his appa-
rentlv lfeless form, and friends sat up
with the CORPSE After about seven
hours those who were keeping vigil oD-
served that there was movement OF the
limbs. After a time he sat up and talked
to those around him, and since tnat ulno
he has steadily improved.
IL is not a pleasant subject, and we 40
not care TO dwell on II, for reasons tha1
will suggest themselves to thoughtfui peo-
nle hut IL calls for serious and practical
attention on the part OF some aulhoi ia
tive body-legislative, medlcal, OF o'hci
wise. This man was saved from a horil-
BILE fate only by accident. NO huindn
being should be exposed TO the possloiii1S
of such fate in an enlightened S'a'I.

AFTER securing It's own line into Rich-
mond. the Seaboard Airline will expe-
rience little or no trouble In efectlng q
traffic alliance with the Richmond, FREQ

haul OF its trains to Quantico. The state
of Virginia has a controlling vote IN al
questions confronting thai property, ana
there is little likelihood that. as that
company now hauls Seaboard trains over
it's line. Il will decline TO accede TO de-
mands, for further facilities in the event
OF increased business.

A BIG RAILROAD PROJECT.
seaboard AIRLINE Said to Have Per-
fected Plans to Extend Its system.

A dispatch from New York says that
the announcement that the city Of Peters
burg. Va. had decided to transfer to De
Witt Smith and associates its interest in
the Virginia and Carolina railroad is the
first intlmation OF elaborate plans OF ex-
tension which the Seaboard Airline have
been perfecting during the last six
months The proposed transfer Is condi-
tional on the completion Of the virginia
and Carolina railroad.
The dispatch says: THE completion or
the Virginia and Carolina road, which Is
now nothing more or less than Charter
for the construction Of a line between
Richmond, Va, and Ridgway, N. c., Is
the initial step In the plans Of that COM
pany for directly reaching on the north
Washington city and on the South New
Orleans. The Seaboard Airline has vir-
tually been shut out of through-car SER
vice between this city and New Orleans,
but II proposes TO extend it's road so that
there will be three southern parallel lines
instead Of two between the northern ana
southern capitals. and 10 accomplish that
end President Hoffman and the directors
of that company have been quietly .at
work for several months.
"The Seaboard Airline extends from
main points is Weldon, n. c., and from
that city by reason OF a traffic arrange

trains to Washington are sent over the

CUT TO PIECES.
Very Suspicious Affair at
buchanan.

BUCHANAN. VA. March 1S.-(spe-
ciaL)-At 900 O'Clock tonight there oc-
Cured in front of the Chesapeake and
Ohio depot at this place a tragic affair
that may lead to a murder case. On
freight train that came into town at
that hour were Jasper Payne, Charles
Parker. and Dave Elicit. three cOlored
men. who were on their way home, I'm
Campbell county. from Iron Gate. AS the
train started off Dave Elicit fell or was
pushed off, and was mangled beyond
recognition his body being cut in more
than a dozen pieces. Ellet and his part
ners had been paid off to-day at Iron
Gate, and it is thought Elicit was rob-
bed and pushed from the train, as Jasper
Payne fed. Charles Parker was caught
and placed under arrest and efforts are
being made to catch Payne. The railroad
company is free from all blame. The oc-
currence excited. much interest and, as
stated. 1t may prove TO be a murder case
Eleven dollars has since been found on
the person of the dead man-that is, on
portion of his person, a hundred feet
away. Still. the fleeing Of Payne is re-
garded as suspicious.

HORRIBLE BUTCHERY
by Spanish Regular Troops and
Volunteers.


Volunteers.
HABANA. March 1S.-Great rejoicing
was manifested in Guanabocoa the other
night when the notorious Fondeviella
left the place to take charge Of his forces
operating around Campo Florido. -
Dancing parties were organized in many
private residences and the numerous
families who have left the place have an
nounced their intention Of returning.
Colonel Tejeriso, appointed in command,
has the reputation of being an upright,
humane Spanish officer and he has al
ready announced his intention to govern
Guanabocoa with great justice and fair
ness.
All the Cuban residents Of Bejucal are
fleeing i'm terror from the town. The pas

Movement 20 Disbar n Lawyer.
New orleans Picayune)


ON the petition Of a number OF prac-
,icing lawyers, preliminary proceedings
we're commenced yesterday 10 disDar
Lionel Adams. who is charged, whiie
employed in the Criminal District Court
in the active prosecution Of Maurice }.
Hart for felonlous crimes. with having
accepted fees from the said Hart. and
with having conferred with counsel en-
gagged in organizing Harris defence.
The proceedings are brought In the
civil District Court, although the Of
fences charged were committed WINE
Adams was engaged I'm the prosecution
NJ Hart in the Criminal District Court.
The acts of which Adams Is accused.
while not actually criminal, are held TO
be disgraceful, and violative of all pro-
fessional honor and honesty, and, IL
nroved as they seem to be, are sufficient
10 secure the striking Of AdamsS name
from the list OF attorneys at law au-
thorized to practice in the courts or the
state. Since these charges were hrst
made public the accused has never MADE
any motion towards the Offering OF a de-
fence. and It cooks as If Judgment Would
he taken against him by default.
The publication OF the roll OF lawyers
is a most important matter; but 1t re-
auires very serious offence TO secure
any action. At any rate, disbarment Is
but rarely visited upon any members OF
the profession, showing that the rule In
such cases Is not enforced with special
strictness

DISSATISFACTION At ATHENS.
Government Preparation for Meet
ing Crisis Regarded as Inadequate.


LONDON, March ia dispatch to the
Times from Athens says that feeling
OF dissatisfaction exists because of the
failure of the government to make bet
ter provision for meeting the present
crisis. That the King took the necessary
steps for the increase Of the army is
admitted but it is held that the War
Office did not make proper preparation in
respect of equipments. This feeling has
not had the effect however of allaying
the popular enthusiasm. The students of
the University have issued a manifesto
TO students throughout the world asking
their sympathy in the struggle with the
Turks
Advices from the frontier say that the
officers have great difficulty in restrain
ing Greek soldiers and it is believed
that if the Powers enforce coercion, a
collision between the Greeks and the
Turks is inevitable.
DANGER OF CONFLICT OVER.
ROME. March 13.-Signor Nicoo Bar
bato member of the Chamber Of Depu-
ties for Milan, returned TO Rome to-day
from a visit to Athens. He says that
the enthusiasm for war has completely
subsidized, and that all danger of con-
fiict is over.
OCCUPATION OF CRETE.
ST. PETERSBURG, March BIT is an
nounced that Russia will propose an i'm
mediate occupation Of Crete by the
Powers. each of whom shall contribute
an equal number of men. sufficient in the
aggregate to bring the total up TO 1900.
A PEREMPTORY NOTICE.
ATHENS, March 13.-The Greek steam
er Smyrna arrived at Canea this
morning. Immediately after she had
come TO anchor her captain received an
order from one of the foreign admirals,
presumably Admiral Canevaro OF the
Italian navy, who is by reason of senior
ity. in command Of the combined fleets,
directing him 10 leave at once. The cap
tain Of the Smyrna refused 70 do so.
whereupon the admiral who issued the
order sent him notice that he would be
given five minutes In which to obey the
order If. at the expiration Of that time,
the steamer still remained in port, an
armed boat would be sent 10 cut her
cables. In view of this peremptory notice
the Smyrna weighed anchor and left

however. for the purpose OF maintaining
I'm office people appointed by him without
civil-service examination. that II is held
10 be hut simple Justice to the new admin
Istraiion. and for the benefit OF the SER
vice. that the extensions should be re-
voked.
There Is no possible danger OF the new
administration letting down the bars
generally, so as to turn ohice-seeKers
into the pasture, which Is now guarded
by a barbed-wire fence. Every proper
extension OF the classified service which
has been made VIII be allowed to stand,
and both the letter and the spirit OF the
law will be observed. IL Is not believed
that every extension made merely 10
benefit individual favorites of the late
administration, contrary to the spirit OF
the law, will be permitted 10 stand. IL
Is a delicate matter to deaf with. but II
IS thought a line OF action SO obviously
Just and proper can be fixed upon that
the desirable notifications can be made
without warranting criticism. 1t Is like
" that the President will take the sense
OF Congress on this matter, though he
will not go as far as Congress woWd be
willing TO go. The matter is being in
Vestigated, and e list is being made OF
those extensions by Mr.. Cleveland which
were obviously made to keep Democrats
I'm office, and to embarrass the incoming
administration.
Soon after Congress reconvenes. II Is
expected to bring the matter up In the
House, and 1t is said that some of the
facts disclosed will be discreditable to
the civil-service reform pretentions of
Mr.. Cleveland. One extension, for in
stance was made in the face OF deci-
sion by the Supreme Court, that the
class OF persons covered by it were not
actually government employees, their
pay being derived from fees collected
for services performed This extension,
Ike several others. was made upon the
avowed theory that though the extern
sion was not warranted, II would en-
barravs President Mckinley 10 take
any steps backward" and that he would
have to let II stand.
