An Explosion That Carried Death
to Many People.

Philadelphia, Sept. 11--By the
explosion of forty gallons of gaso.
line in the cellar of a grocery
store at 1444 South Street tonight
four and possibly a dozen more
lives wore lost. AS an immediate
consequence of the explosion, the
ssailding where it occurred and
those adjoining it on either side
collapsed. Up to 10 o'clock, four
hours after the occurrence. four
Sodies had been recovered from
the ruins.
Estimates of the number of
missing vary from eighteen to
twcnty-s six. The accepted theory
of the accident is that Schatten-
stein went into the cellar with a
lighted lamp, which gnited the
gasoline. The collapse of the
bsildings occurred within two
minutes of the explosion, and the
occupants had little time or chance
to escape.

reached here of the death of Mr.

1t appears that Mr. Huggins had
just started to GIN his first bale of
cotton this season and was feeding
the gin himself when his hand got
caught and in trying to get loose
from the gin the other hand be-
came entangled. He was power
less to help himself. Before the
engine could be stopped not only
both hands but the greater part
of both arms were literally cut to
pieces. 1t was five miles to a
physicians house and before one
could be summoned the unfortu-
nate man bled to death. Mr.
Higgins was about % years old.
He was married and leaves q Wild
ow and three children. He was a
prosperous farmer, merchandised
on a small scale and ran a steam
gin and grist mill. His untimeIy
death is regretted by the entire

Camden, Sept SIS mis-
cegenation practiced in Kershaw
countyt Let the court records
speak for themselves. The crimi-
nal court which ended today re-
vealed a deplorable condition of
morals in Kershaw county. Half
of the cases tried developed
shockingly immoral practices.
The repulsive spectacle was wit
messed in three cases, which have
just undergone judicial investi-
CATION and conviction, where three
white men were arraigned and
tried for living in adultery, each
with a negro woman. In each
of these instances the relationship
existing has extended over a
period of several years. In one
of the cases the parties have thus
been living together for twelve
years, and in another eight years.
AS a result of such disreputable
and Unlawful living together in
nucent little children are thrown
upon cold and uncharitable
world to suffer, and maybe starve,
while the authors of their exist
ence serve out their respective
terms in the State penitentiary.
One mother leaves behind her
while she is locked in prison
cell, an infant 4 months old; and
another parts from six children,
not one of whom is o d enough to
even dress the others.

Major Wright, who is as black as

Second regiment today. He was
assisted by two colored clerks.
Colonel Jones used foresight to
prevent any possible friction as
some of the men spoke as if they
did not want to accept their pay
from the "nigger" paymaster.
All the companies were drawn
up and the men who did not want
TO accept pay from Wright were
told their captains would get their
money for them. Squads of ten
were paid and guard was put
about the paYmaster with u view
to preventing trouble. The Off
GERS felt that they had to recog.
aize Major Wright's rank and
authority.
Over $4,000 was paid out.
Wright says that this is his last
pay day and he will return to his
college in Georgia.

Prof Yager's Brief Indiscretion
Causes Him to Resign.
Special to The State.

Greenvile, Sept 1O.-Presi-
dent Hartzog, of Clemson col
lege, came here today to investi-
gate the trouble in which Prof
w M fager was implicated. As
a result of the investigation,
Prof Yager this afternoon resign
ed his professorship in Clemson
college, which he has held for
several years with marked sue
cess. President Hartzog did not
express himself as to Prof Yager's
conduct, but stated that Prof
Yager is one of the best instruct
ors in his line in the south, and
his graduates have taken fine po-
sitions. Prof Yager is instructor
in drawing and mechanical design
ing.
The charge against Prof Yager
was grand larceny, and the case
was dismissed by the magistrate,
who expressed confidence in Prof
Yager's innocence. The charge
was brought by dissolute wo-
man in whose house Prof Yager
was on Thursday afternoon. His
statement is that, on going to the
depot he found he had a good deal
of time before his train left and
he went over to this house nearby.
The woman accused him of steal
Jog her rings, one a diamond, and
Prof Yager's friends assert this
was an attempt at blackmail. He
was arrested by the police simply
on the woman's statement, after
he had been searched and offered
his watch to compromise, but the
woman refused it. j II.

Spartanburg, Sept 1O-Up at
the foot of Tryon mountain about
% miles from Columbus, the
county seat of Polk county, q bat
tie royal took place about 5 p m
yesterday between a moonshiner
and revenue officers. Collector
Bryant, M G. Durham, Alex Rob-
ison, and John M Miller were in
the party and had found and de-
stroyed a large still in full opera
ton After cutting it up the par
ties were leisurely making their
way out towards Tryon when
some one fired a double barreled
shot gun at Miller, who was lead
ing one horse and riding another.
No shots took effect in Miller, but
both horses were covered from
head to foot.
Miller saw the party aud fired
upon him. The growth was SO
dense that he got away and all
parties deemed themselves safe.
After goinga short distance
further John Jones appeared in q
bend in the road and fired two
more shots at Robson, 80 of
which took effect in his back and
head. His horse was also badly
shot.
Miller then pursued the would.
be assassin and ran him in the di-
rection of where he knew Durham
and Bryant must be.
TIE man was SO intent on escas
ping from those behind him that
he ran into the arms of Durham
and Bryant. After exchanging
a shot or two Durham captured
his man and had him where resis.
tance was useless.
He proved to be John Jones, a
white man about 81 years old, and
quite noted character in the
mountain regions. He denied
vigorously that he was the man
who did the shooting, but Miller
says there can be no doubt about
it, for he recognized him fully.
The prisoner was carried to
Tryon and from there to Hender-
son Jail.
Miller and Robson came back
to Spartanburg where Robson s
wounds were found not to be very
severe.

McLAURIN'S VINDICATION
The Chairman of the State Demo

Senator McLaurin and the Wash
ington correspondent of the News
and Courier, has handeed the fol-
lowing prepared statement to The
State, with the request that it be
published:
$50 much unjust criticism has
been made of Senator McLaurin
on account of dispatch sent the
"News and Courier by its Wash
ington correspondent that | feel
impelled in the interest of Justice
to appear in public print.
81 was present at the inter-
view between the Senator and the
reporter, saw and heard every
thing that passed, and there is no
room whatever for the charge that
Senator McLaurin said word un-
becoming a Democrat. The re-
port sent by the reporter is very
meagre and only purports to give
one or two sentences of the con-
versation that lasted nearly an
hour. Even this. however, wcdld
not have occasioned any criticism
If it were not for the headlines of
that wonderful artist who presides
over this department of the News
and Courier. Nor do l think the
reporter intended to do the Sena>
tor an injustice, and l am sure he
will agree with what 1 shall say.
"Senator McLaurin, Col
Thompson and myself had passed
a very busy day at the war de-
partment and wound up with a
call on the President. There is
no doubt all of us were feeling
good, for we had succeeded be-
yond our for dest hopes in saving
our beloved State from the indel-
ible disgrace of being the only
one in the Union that failed to
respond to the call to arms. II
was a very hot day and at so clock
in the afternoon the Senator and
myself retired to my room at the
Metropolitan and in true Demo-
cratic style had taken off our
coats and collars ito coal. Mr..
Larner called and desired to know
what we had accomplished and all
about our mission. We proceeded
to tell him and from the account
of our trip to the White House
the conversation drifted on to the
war and the war policy of the
President. Senator McLaurin
spoke frankly and intelligently on
this subject and agreed to give
MIR. Larner an interview.
He made some notes and hand

lines we were talking. He said

said, but this is the substance:
That the President had displayed

avoid war, but when it was forced
