IRBY DENoUNcEs rI1LMAN.
He says tho Senator Hns Been Mouth On,
Against Him..

COLUMBIA. S. c., Aug. 29.-Col. Irby passed
through Columbia to-day on his way homo,
where he will await the result OF the primary
election as to the United States Senatorship on
Tuesday. He was asked to say exactly how he
manipulated votes in the convention which
first nominated Tillman for Governor SO as to get
a fictitious majority. He replied that his
method did not concern the public. The simple
fact that he cheated and so got Tillman in by
one vote was enough.
Late last night Irby spoke to a crowd at Flor.
ence. He said he had determined to denounce Till.
man. even II by doing so he was defeated. Then
he declared that the Senator had been making
speeches in this State. and working against him.
Iillman said. he was hands of, but he was
mouth on against the man who had made
him: !rby also said that Tillman was secretly
for McLsurin. because McLaurin was as good a
tool a. he wanted in the Senate. McLaurin
would vote with him for protection and against
the South's true interests.
Candidate Duncan has retired from the Sem
atorial race. In n card to the public he says his
purpose in entering the contest was not to get
votes but to he in IA position to confront Evans
on the stand and. II II became necessary, to sub
s%,antiate with proofs the charges ne made
against Evans during the campaign OF 1896,
When Evans to pose as a martyr he
had appeared on the stand and offered to prove
his charges. but Evans did not pursue tho sub
tect. Duncan concludes by urging the people to
forgive Evans II they can. but to retro him and
his kind from politics and so promote rospoc-
liability and peace in State politics.

the Case.

HARTFORD. Conn.,. Aug. 2s.-sherif Brown
and Coroner Davis of Middletown drove out to
Rockland to-day. to the scene of the murder OF
Burton L. Hotchkiss, the young game warden
who was shot by some one unknown on Friday
night. They visited tho home of Herman Sachs,
who had worked for Hotchkiss. but had been
discharged recently because there was no more
work for him. 1t was thought that Sachs might
know something about the case.
Tho officials found there a shotgun with q
very rusty barrel which looked as II 1t had not
been In use for months. 1t is said that Sachs
secured another shotgun some time ago and
neighbors have seen him out shooting wood
chucks recently. Sachss relatives say that no
was home at tho time of the murder. Mrs.
Hotchkiss was evidently mistaken in thinking
chat the murder was committed by two persons,
She has said that she saw two men running
away from tho house Immediately after tho
shooting. She looked out OF the door and the
window, and 1t was probably the same person
che saw.
MIDDLETowN. Conn.,, Aug. 29.-There seems

at the home of John Meyers. and talked of ex-

day young Meyers took the gun back to Sachs's
house. and from that time until now no one has
been able to ind the gun.
On Sunday evening Frank Rathburn, who
lives about q mile south from the Hotchkiss
property. said that on Friday morning, while
driving to Durham. and when near tho Hotch.
