No woman who marries an old
soldier after July l, will be entitled to
pension if he dies. The old soldier
with a comfortable pension has fur
nished inducement for many design
ing woman to wed, especially as his
death does not stop the pension. But
this will be changed next year, and the
veteran who gets married after that
time will have the satisfaction of know
ing he furnishes all the attraction him
self.
With the opening of Spring it is
believed considerable activity in build
ing will be noticed. There are many
people who may be interested In know
ing that any man who desires to erect q
home of his own but is refraining from
doing so because he has not the money,
can be easily accommodated by apply
ing to C, A. Powers, who represents
the Ohio Building and Loan Company

QUARRYMEN
ARE BLOWN UP.
The Negro Stone Workers
Sent Into tine Air.

A terrible accident occurred this
afternoon at the Hofnan quarry, just
across the river in Lexington county,
whereby three oegro workmen were
terribly mutilated, although they
were not instantly killed as might
have been expected
Medical aid was asked for from
Columbia so soon as communication
could be had
The men were "blasters" and were
preparing to blow out some rock. By
some means the dynamite was ex'
ploded too quick
The men were shot up in the air
along with mass Of granite They
were thrown out of the quarry pit
with it, and those in the vicinity had
no idea that they would ever see any
more than pieces of bodies. But the
negroes came up with the rock, and
though terribly lacerated were still
alive.
When the Record went 10 press it
was not definitely known by the doc

or not.-Columbia Record. Goth.

not time to collect she evidence which

It is said 10 relation to the claims
Of the different States against the
government for the equipment Of the
troops during the war With Spain that
the comptroller of the currency in going
over the reimbursements OF the dit
ferent States has discovered a number
of errors which affect several south
ern States. The comptroller is not con-
sidering whether or not these errors in
the reimbursements can be charged
against the claims against the govern.
mens. At the treasury department it
is said that some of the claims of the
southern States against the government
for money expended iu eouipping the
soldiers are so mixed that it is doubt
full if they can be straighteped out.
1t may be necessary to refer some
of the claims to congress for adjustment.

Believed That Spaniards Will
be Ready by Saturday.
COMMISSIONERS ARE RETI-
cENT.-MADRID COMMENT.

Paris, Nov "a The Spanish COM
missioners at noon to day had not
fixed upon the day to submit their
final answer to the American propo-
sitions, but it is deemed most likely
that Saturday will be the day ap-
pointed. The opinion gains ground
that the Spaniards will accept the
proposals of TIE United States. A
significant indication of this view Of
the situation was remark dropped
by Senor Abaraza, of the Spanish
commission to day that they expect
ed to remain here about a fortnight
longer.
The secretary of the Spanish com
mission, Senior, 0jeda, said to-day
that the instructions from Madrid
were not sufficiently matured to en-
able them to appoint the next meet
ing.
The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press asked Senor Abaraza
to,day if the commission would be
able to leave Paris next week with
the treaty and be replied with side
long y1 as though to observe
whethe> sls questioner noted the
significance of the reply Il sup
pose we shall be here for another
fortnight y
"Wby," the Spanish commissioner
was asked, 'tis the opinion expressed
SO emphatically by portion of the
Paris press that you will decline the
$40, 200, 900, but will sign the treaty
with protest that you do SO only
under the pressure of superior pow
er p
"WelI, it does seem that S20,0G0,-
600 is not very satisfactory
This was the semi evasive manner
in which the Spanish diplomat an
swered the question
His questioner continued "Then,
it has been affirmed that Spain will
refuse to sign the treaty, decline the
money offered and make protest to
the powers and that her commission
ers will go home. Is that the most
likely result :" \
.sAh. but we should not anticipate
fortnight more of daily develop
ments here.''
"Ab, yes. A fortnight. Perhaps
some affairs may be attended to in
that time"
The United States peace commits.
sioners were the guests of Whitelaw
Reid at Thanksgiving day luncheon
at the hotel.

a certainty that the Spanish commits

A Frisco Hotel in Flames.

San Francisco, November % The
Baldwin Hotel, for almost thirty years
one of the principal landmarks of San
Francisco, is no more
A fire which broke out in the east
end of the building shortly after 3
O'Clock this morning, supposedly in
the property room of the Baldwin
Theatre, totally destroyed the i'm
mense structure, entailing financial
loss of nearly g million and half
dollars, besides destroying property
that no amount Of money or science
can replace.
The loss of life so far as reported
has been miracuiously light, but two
guests having perished as far as
known. The dead are Capt ] L

missing. The financial losses are far
reaching, almost every branch of

The flames were confined to the
Baldwin structure, but much adjoin
ing property was seriously damaged
by water and smoke.

Juvenile Reformatory.
The Report Made by the Rev.
DR.. Brown,

The establishment of a state reforma
tory for youthful criminals has been a
subject agitated in many legislatures.
1t took some definite form during toe
last session when commission was
authorized to make an investigation and
report. The chairman of the commits
sion was the Rev. Dr.. Brown, Of
Sumter. and he has submitted the
following report to the governor
SUMTER, s. c., Nov. 81, 1898.
Governor W H Ellerbe /:
Dear Sir: 1t gives me pleasure to
say to your excellency that l have
completed my round of investigation
and am home again l confined my
Investigations to the institutions at
Elmira and Rochester, or possibly |
should say to the reformatory at EImira
alone, for the others are not worthy to
be compared with that one. Your
letter of introduction gave me an open
sesame. and ] vas treated With marked
kindness. Especially am | under
obligations to Mr. q P. Brockaway,
superintendent at Elmira.
As soon as we can have meeting
of our committee, shall have report
ready, and | hope also that | may be
allowed to present the case as I now see
it. to the members of the Legislature or
to a committee appointed by that body
I am glad to say that the trip cost only
about half what I anticipated. l made
more than two thousand miles of travel,
going almost entirely 90 sleepers or
night trains, SO as to have daylight for
my visitation and on my return find
that I have expended only S10280.
Whatever portion you feel it just for
me to pay in ful6llment of my promise.
I am ready to pay. so iu sending
address you may feel free to deduct
what you sea fit
I devoutly hope to see reformatory
set up in our state To set it. up We
need first a man of the right sort to
put at the head, and then q small
appropriation for laying the plant. I
believe it will be easier for us to get
the money than to get the man.
However. l need not discuss plans
pow. Allow me to say, sir, that at
convenient time to you, it gill be my
delight to have a talk with you con-
cerning the whole matter. To have
your sympathy and co. operation may
mean success to the enterprise to
have success would mean to yourself
lasting monument to the memory of
your administration. [ think | may
be able to make, this plan when l have
au opportunity of talking to you face to
face.

The Secret Not Lost.
He Left an Explanatory Man
uscrlpt Of 1000 Pages.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 24.--
The stockholders in the Kelley Mo.
tor company have not abandoned the
hope that the secret of the life of
John W. Kelley will not be bur-
led with the inventor to day.
B. L. Ackerman, of New York,
the president of the company, came
to Philadelphia in response to tele.
gram from Mrs Keely. When he
reached the house of mourning in

Keely was too much Frustrated to

pany. He said
ri have been closely associated
with Mr.. Kelley in his work for
twenty, five years, and I was among
the first to see the value of his plans.
AS a mechanical engineer l have
frequently examined his machines
and l have often discussed his ex.
periments with him Therefore to.
day l have greater faith than I have
ever bad in the practical value Of
his discoveries Mr.. Kelley has
prepared manuscript of more than
1000 pages which reveals the Sc
crets discovered by him.
"That manuscript, | understand,
was in the possession of Mrs. Keeley,
and therefore, while it is almost too
early to discuss the future of the
work, it seems to me that with the
information in the manuscript and
the knowledge in the possession of
Lancaster Thomas and Charles B.
Collier, there need be little doubt
that the work of Kelley will be car
ried forward
"There are now on the board of

and following that a preliminary
meeting Of the board will be held.
