Sundays Long List of Violent Deaths In
New York City.
New York dispatch, Sunday.
The Sunday death list in New York
and vicinity was greatly increased BY
causes that ran the gamut from suicide
to murder. The most spectacular
tragedy of the day occurred on the
Speedway. Thousands of people who
had gathered there to watch the speed
ing gazed eagerly at what they though
was race. 1t was at first, but it end
ed in a runaway, and James McDon-
aid, prominent Tammany man, and
one of the best known horsemen in the
city, was carried to the Manhattan
hospital in dying condition.
Nincenzo Garagusti, an Italian bank
er and prominent in the Italian'c colony,
was shot and killed in front of his
home, in Broome street tonight, the
bullet piercing his heart. Lawrence
Priore, a drug clerk employed in q
drug store near by, was arrested, and
is charged with the crime.
William Walters, % years old,
bought 10 cents worth of carbolic acid
today, and, after kissing his wife and
child goodbye, drank the contents of
the bottle. He died in hospital.
Catharine Werner, factory girl, 25
years old, drunk carbolic acid today,
and died.
Thomas McKeever, 81 years old, a
freight agent at Roselle, N. j., was
found dead in bed in an apartment in
"Soubrette row." The cause assigned
was heart disease.
Elizabeth Clinton, Ga years old, was
burned to death in her home on Bed
ford street.
Hilda Hesse, IA years old, suicided
with carbolic acid. A quarrel with
her father and stepmother made her
despondent.
A man, believed to be Peter Thomp-
son, of Brooklyn, jumped off dock
in Brooklyn and was drowned.
David Walsh, % years old, of Ho-
boken, while walking s.iong the tracks
in the Erie railroad yard, got his foot

THE LIEN LAW.

There has been a good deal of talk
from time to time about the advisable
ity of repeating the lien law. There
is not so much of such talk going on
now as there has been probably but
still there is some.
That the lien law question will come
up again in the next general assembly,
is altogether likely. The next general
assembly, however, will not repeal the
law. That is, we do not think it will.
Like its predecessors for the past 20
years, it will be afraid for in many
quarters the proposition is still looked
upon as loaded.
Years ago, The ENQUIRER would
have been glad to have seen the lien
law repealed; but it does not care
much one way or the other now. AT
one time the lien law was very neces'
sary, and it did a good work /; but it
has long since outlived its usefulness.
In failing to repeal it at the proper
time, most of the advantage that had
previously been derived from it was
lost.
From the first, the lien law was
merely the basis of big speculation.
There were lots of people who were
willing 10 promise to pay big profits
out of something they did not have
but hoped to have-and there were
lots of merchants who were willing to
take the necessary risks for the pros
pective profits. Many merchants
made big money and others failed, the
latter because they did not know when
to quit. Some few small farmers were
benefited; but most of them were
worsted.
But the quitting time is now al
hand. AS general thing, the bottom
fell out of the lien business several
years ago when cotton first dropped
to 6 cents. Some few merchants have
still been able to get along, where liens
were secured oy reasonable amount
of moral responsibility; but this yeal
seems to have about sounded the
death knell of the agricultural lier
business. This is evident by the fact
that, in many cases, merchants have
been left to gather crops that the pro-
ducers had contracted to gather, and
declined because they no longer had
any financial interest in them.
There may be more or less lien busi
ness for several years yet; but it car
hardly amount to a great deal. Busi
ness men will hardly continue to fur.
nish, on credit, supplies to make crops
that will not pay the cost of produc'
ton so the law must soon become d
dead letter. Whether or not the gen.
eral assembly will repeal it seems TO be
of little consequence.

DRUNK AND DIsORDERLY.

G. P. DObson, a young white man
in the employ of Mr.. w. N. Ashe, got
himself into serious trouble last Sun
day afternoon as the result of too much
liquor.
1t was about o'clock in the after
noon. The children of Mr.. j. N.
O'Farrell were going up the Marrow
Gauge railroad, on their way home
from Sunday school. Dobson came
along, and in a spirit of deviltry, pull
ed pistol from his pocket and fired it
off in close proximity to the children.
Several people saw the occurrence
and some of them at once informed
Chief of Police Love, who, accompa-
MED by Deputy Sheriff Harshaw, went
Immediately to put Dobson under
arrest. Still drunk, Dobson made a
show of resistance and called upon
some Negroes who were with him
to come to his help; but suggestion
from Chief Love as to the grave dan
ger of such a proceeding, was enough
to make the Negroes desist.
Dobson was committed to Jail, and
on Monday morning was taken before
Intendant Carroll on the charges of
drunk and disorderly and carrying
concealed weapon. He was now thor.
oughly sober, and also very repentant.
He plead guilty to the charges, offered
the excuse of intoxication and prom
ised to be more careful in the future.
As be had a previous clean record for
good behavior, Intendant Carroll took
it. into consideration and fined him
$50. go, which includes costs.

vestigating commission has developed
a slight hint that in the case of most
of the war and other vessels recently

reason to believe that large portion

A COUNTY COURT ARGUMENT.
Why Magistrate Limehouse Was Removed
From Office.

Magistrate Limehouse, Of Summer
vile, was recently removed from Office
by the governor, and the Columbia
correspondent of The Sunday News
and Courier has made some extracts
from the papers iu the case that are
interesting:
Jos. L. Stoppelbein appeared before
Notary Public Legare Walker, and
stated that he is practiciDg attorney
in this state. That he knows Robert
J. Limehouse, a magistrate of the
county of Dorchester, and that he
verify believed the said magistrate to
be utterly incapable of dispensing JUS
tice, even if he tried, which is an idea
too remote to be even entertained.
That be (Jos. Stoppelbein) was forced
to turn away clients who had cases
before the said magistrate. Mr.. Stop
pelbein then gives the following ex-
ample of Magistrate Limehouse's high
handed proceedings: One Hacklas
Gadsden took up a lot of cows under
the provisions of the general stock law
and brought the same to Magistrate
Sweeny, as provided for by law. Mag
istrate Sweeny instructed Hacklas
Gadsden to hold the said stock subject
to the order of his court. Shortly
after, Magistrate Limehouse issued
claim and delivery proceedings, and
seized the said cows contrary to law.
Upon the call of the case Magistrate
Sweeny formally notified Magistrate
Limehouse that at the time of such
seizure on Limehouse's part the said
stock was in the hands of his court and
under his Jurisdiction, and asked that
the stock be turned over to him. This
Limehouse refused to do, and the de-
ponent was compelled to appeal to
Judge Aldrich for mandamus, which
necessilated trip TO Barnwell, S. c.,
at considerable expense and loss to
deponent's client. Mr.. Stoppelbein
cites other examples. He then goes
ON TO say: By such transactions and
forcing the people to apply to the
higher courts from time to time to keep
him straight, it works great hard
ship upon the people, and the said
ought TO be removed.
In cases coming up before the said
the dependent has repeat
edly filed strong atfidavils showing the
prejudice of said magistrate and de-
manded change of venue, which wasin
every case met viii b refusal. That in
the case of the state against Sam Stony,
the magistrate, in boisterous and bull
doing manner attempted to intimidate
the Witness, and when this fact was
made the grounds Of appeal, the mag
strate in making his return said:
'No such transaction occurred in my
COURT" and which remark was dis
proved by all affidavit made by Mr..
P. R. Donnelly, of Summerville.
And, lastly, the deponeut regards
The said magistrate as totally unfit to

- Colonel William Jennings Bryan
has resigned his command of the Third
Nebraska regiment. Both Generals
Lee and Keifer tried to induce Colonel
Bryan to 20 on to Cuba with the
regiment; but the colonel was con-
vinced that, under the circumstances,
he would not be be justified in
doing 80. His resignation seems to
be the right thing. The treaty of
peace having been signed, there is no
longer any probability of really active
service, and having remained with his
command until even the danger from
yellow fever was over, his enemies
cannot find much excuse to throw
taunts at him. We believe his services
will be of more value in private life
Just now than in the army.

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON.
Tax Levies and Assessments Previous to
1890 and Now.

Tax Levies and Assessments Previous to
1890 and Now.
Greenville News.
The Columbia correspondent of The
News and Courier sends that newspa-
per an instructive table of taxation
and assessments in this state during
the last Is years. From this we are
reminded that from 1873 to 1890, under
The cold ring" state tax levies rang
ed from At mills, the lowest, which
was in 1885, to St, the highest, which
was in 1889. In the same period the
total assessment of property in the
state ran from $141, 900, 900, the low
est, in 1887, to s15O,OOO,O0O, the high
est, in 1890.
Some people may remember that
person known as B. R. Tillman, and
calling himself a Reformer and the
Moses" who was to lead the people
from the bondage Of high taxes and
the wilderness of debt, frequently de-
scribed these taxes as burdensome and
grievous, and said they were caused
by wasteful, extrsvagant and corrupt
administrations, and bamboozled and
debauched legislatures. We agreed
with him that taxes were too high and
heavy, and that there was waste and
extravagance.
He was elected governor in 1890.
The table shows that in eight years
since that time the lowest state levy
has been 4! mills, three years, and the
highest, in 1892, ST mills. In the same
period assessments have ranged from
$4,000 600, the lowest, in 1890, to
Sl73, 1000, 900, the present figures. In
other words, the figures prove that in
the eight years of "reform" more
money has been collected from the
people and spent than in any eight
years under "the old ring" We 90
further and say that the present taxes
represent far more bales of cotton,
bushels of corn and pounds of meat
than they did in the widest days of
Radical robbery.
Mr.. Tillman says nothing now of
| duu "oSGO, Vi oCboaSaSAy
or bamboozling. We have not changed
our opinion. We yet believe that there
is extravaganza and waste, that after
eight years of full power, after the
constitutional convention and all, the
people are being burdened more heav-
lily than they ought 10 be burdened.
II makes no practical difference to the
taxpayer whether the money taken
from him is stolen or squandered. he
loses it just the same.
The Greenvile News demanded re-
form from 1883 to 1890, and is yet
demanding it. Mr.. Tillman and his
friends have tried their hands at it and
seemed to have failed miserably, ex-
cept that they have landed themselves
numerously in fat jobs obtained by
false accusations and false promises.
We would like to see the people, the
first chance they get, make a clean
sweep of the whole present manage
ment, and try new one which will
be more reasonable and definite in its
undertakings, which will appeal to
sense rather than passion, and which
will make a campaign and build
government on some foundation other
than slander and boasting.

A eva rmint" In Anderson.

Anderson correspondence News and
Courier, Saturday: A few days ago,
while Deputy Sheriff Rose was on the
western side of the county, he found a
party of men following the tracks
of bear, evidently large one. He
joined in the pursuit for several hours
without coming in sight Of the bear
He had to desist on account of his
duties. Night before last some strange
animal appeared upon Factory Hill
and killed a couple of dogs, and it has
been said that the large track of
bear was clearly discernable where the
dogs were found. On the same night
it is claimed that some Negroes on the
opposite side of the city saw the bear.
The consequence of all this is that the
Negroes and children are considerably
excited over the situation and the for

State points out an object lesson that
can hardly be misunderstood:
Here is Mr.. Vanderlip, assistant sec
retary of the treasury, reporting from
Puerto Rico: "There is great amount
of small debts. X To compel the
payment of these debts in coinage
more valuable than that in which they
were contracted would be great hard
ship" The American people are now
being "compelled" by the same admin
istration, whose agent writes these
words, to pay their debts Sin coinage
more valuable than that 10 which they
were contracted" Some of us think
it "a great hardship" But what does
that matter we are not Puerto Ri
cans. We are mere Americans. We
may be able to do justice to others !;
but we can't get justice for ourselves !;
and If we clamor for it we are "repu-
