Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-01-30

pleted yesterday.
Not Authentic.
The statement published elsewhere to
the effect that Mr.. Newbold has been
superseded by Mr.. Bahr as state detec-
tive, goes only for what it may be worth.
1t has not been verified.
Changed Hands.
The Daily Sun, publication of which
was commenced at Rock Hill nearly
two months ago by Mr.. J. II. Evans,
has changed hands. The new publish
els are Messrs. J. w. Hammond and
F. j. Terry.

The members of the house and senate
of the general assembly, will visit Win
throp college, Rock Hill, today, (Sat-
urday). The trip is to be made on a
special train, which will leave Columbia
at s.15 a. M, reach Rock Hill at 1890
a. m., and returning, leave Rock Hill

Victim of Grip.
Mr.. John J. Garvin died at his home in
York Vile last Thursday morning of grip,
after an illness Of about week. Mr..
Garvin was in the 10th year of his age.
He was wagonmaker by trade; but
during the past few years of his life has
been engaged in farming. The funeral
services were conducted at the family
residence yesterday morning at IL O'Clock.
For Burglary and Larceny.
William Sims, William Hinton, John
Seegle and Clinton Dunlap, all colored,
were committed to Jail on Thursday by
Magistrate Anderson of Ebenezer town.
ship, on the charge of burglary and
larceny. They broke into store at
Newport during the Christmas holidays.
Three of the Negroes, the reporter is
informed, have confessed their guilt.
Not Yet Reported.
The judiciary committees of the senate
and house haye not yet reported ON Mr..
Loves bill providing for the placing of
railroad and telegraph companies under
the supervision and control of the rail-
road commission. THE ENQUIRER has
private information, however, that major
ity and minority reports will probably
be submitted, and the whole matter will
be fought out on the floors of the house
and senate.
The Clerk Also.
In stating the composition of the old
jury commission in a recent issue, the
reporter inadvertently omitted the clerk
of the court. That official was also
member of the commission, and mas
much as York has been frequently COM
plimented on the high intelligence Of the
Jurors she has been furnishing for various
sessions of the circuit court, it Is only fair
that full credit should be given to all who
are entitled to it.
Death of Mrs. Fewell.
Rock Hill Sun, Tuesday: The wife OF
DR.. w. B. Fewell of Ebenezer, died Of
pneumonia at IL o'clock last night. Mrs.
Fewell was Miss Alexander and was
a sister of Rev. s. G. Alexander OF Mis-
souri,, and DR.. Brevard Alexander of
Charlotte, N. C. She was 66 years old and
had been married to DR.. Fewen 43 years.
She leaves six children, A. B., DR.. 8. c.,
w. B., Miss Sadie and Miss Lottie Bell
Fewell, and Mrs. w. G.. Steele-three
sons and three daughters.
At Monck's Corner.
Judge Witherspoon left last Thursday
morning for Monck's Corner, Berkeley
county, where he expects to convene
court on next Monday. Berkeley, 1t
will be remembered, is one Of those new
counties, and it is literally county in the
woods. The courthouse is an old store
room, the Jail is in keeping with it, and
for accommodations, the understanding
is that judges, solicitors and lawyers have
to seek private houses anywhere within
radius Of four or five miles.
The Weather.
Averaging the statements of number
of people who looked at their private
thermometers at daylight yesterday
morning, the temperature must have
been about s degrees above zero. The
coolest weather on record in this section,
if we remember correctly, was about
Christmas day in the early 7O's, when the
mercury registered 6 degrees below zero.
Dispatches to the Columbia State says
that at Marietta, Greenville county, on
Thursday, the mercury registered 4 de-
grees below zero.
Still Living.
Mozelle Kennelle, the mulatto woman
who was shot through the right lung by
Whiteman Hardy, colored, on last Sat-
urday night, is still alive. Although
there was at first good reason to believ Q
that the wound would prove fatal, as the
result of skillful attention on the part of
the physician in charge Of the case, the
woman has not only been kept alive /;
but now seems to be in fair way to
recovery. 1t is still easily possible, how
ever, that change for the worse, result
ing in death, may occur at almost any
time.
Down at the Jail.
There is an unusually large crowd Of
prisoners in Jail just now-as many in
fact as the upper story of the building
will accommodate. But notwithstanding
this, things are said to be in very tidy
shape. For their own protection as we'll
as employment, the white prisoners have
formulated strict code of rules provid-
ing, above all else, for scrupulous cleanli-
ness. Sessions of court are held regular
ly. and violators of any Of the rules are
dealt with summarily. 1t is not often
necessary to administer the same punish
