Special to Greenville News
Greenwood, S. O., Nov. 10.-No
more trouble is looked for in Green
wood County tonight, though it is
barely possible that few more ne
groes may be killed in the. next few
Adays. The mobs have for the most
y part dispersed, and it ia generally
felt that the disturbance is at an end.
Johu and Joe Tolbert are under
arrest at Columbia. "Red" Tolbert
is reported as going to Greenville
this afternoon.
Some apprehension is felt for the
safety Of Thos. Payne Tolhort, who
was shot at Phoenix. He is still in
a critical condition from his wounds
at his home. He was not molested
today.
Elias Tolbert is still at Stockman's,
near Rehobeth. He is the most in
offensive one Of the family, and it is
not thought that he will be molested
especially as young Miller, the wound
ed man there, in such critical con-
dition that tho excitement of an at
tack on Tolbert might kill him. Mil
ler is now suffering from pneumonia
and his father, who is with him, says
his right lung is badly affected.
Stockman was accused today of SELL
ing ammunition to negroes and loan
ing them wagon and there was a
cry for vengeance against HIM, but
the accusation was denounced as a
fake by several members of the mob.
When saw him and his wife at 8
o'clock at their place they were ap-
prehenslve and were asking for pro-
L. tsstion and the wife and children
re>lsQbbing with fear.
AsorHRR MAN purcHERED.
Essex Harrison, another negro,
was killed today.\ He was shot at
noon by party of \ifteen who said
they picked him up two miles east OF
the church. He was killed under the
oak at Rehobeth among" the four
oorpses left there from the day before.
August Kohn, of the News ana Cou-
.rier, and myself, going to Phoenix,
happened upon the party just ae
they arrived. They SAID tho negro
had confessed being member Of the
crowd of 200 that fired on Watson'a
store when Etheredge was killed
saying that he had been summoned
to 60 by Tolbert. The party was
not disposed to talk much. Hating
with tho negro fifteen PAGES from the
tree, they ordered him up to take
stand among the corpses When ht
was in three PAGES Of the first corpse
walking with his back to them, they
cursed him and sent yolley of sho

No efforta were made today to
have tho Tolberts released, and it is
not likely that anything will be done
along this line for day or two. 1t
is thought best that they be kept

No. 772 Warren avenue. 1t is thought
by his friends that Mr.. Mason's end
was fastened by the disaster of the
Maine, the first reports having inti-
mated that the explosion was due to
defective boilers. For days after the
Maine went down in Havana bay, Mr..
Mason, who was marine specialist for
the Quintard iron works, of New York,
was FRUSTRATED with apopleXy and
paralysis, and raved constantly about
his ship" and her sad fate. 1t was
thought he would recover, but during
his convalescence heart trouble set in.
Mr. Mason came 10 Chicago some years
ago 10 install the engines of the West
side water works on Ashland avenue,
and was afterward retained by the city
to superintend their operation. Later
he returned to New York to reenter
the service OF the Quintard iron works.

ARMY STORES LEFT.
Hundreds of Tons of Provisions in
Hold of Transport.
Had Been Apparently Forgotten
Were Loaded About Four Months
Ago for Cuba and Were
Never Discharged.

At the beginning of the war the
steamship La Grande Duchesse was
chartered as a government transpne
from the Plant steamship line. she
took on troops at Port Tampa, andwas
one of the fleet that carried Skaters
army TO Cuba. Some time before it
sailed it also took on a large quantity
of subsistence stores.
Since then the vessel has been con-
stantly in the government service. A
few days ago il arrived at Montauk
Point with troops from Santiago.
Later it reported for orders at this port,
says the New York Sun, to Col. Amos S.
Kimball, deputy quartermaster gen
eral. AS the government had no fur
Their use for il, Col. Kimball was or
dered TO return the ship to its owners.
BY the terms of the charter il was 10 be
discharged from the service at Sa-
vannah. The captain was ordered,
therefore, 10 take it 10 that port. On
Saturday the captain walked into the
office of Maj. Summerhayes, quarter
master L. 5. ~, one of Col. Kimball's
assistants, and is reported TO have re-
marked:
I'm ready TO sail, but thought I'd
tell you that there's lot of provisions
on board my ship belonging to the gov
eminent. Perhaps the government
would like 10 take them Off
The case Of La Grande Duahesse was
reported TO Col. Kimball, and he re-
ported the facts 10 the quartermaster
general at Washington, recommending
that a board of survey be APP
pointed TO find out why the stores
had not been unloaded in Cuba.
Brig. Gen. George l.. Gillespie,
commanding the department of the
east, was ordered TO appoint such a
board, and in his special order doing
this it was specified that the appointees
were ito determine when and where
the stores were loaded, to whom or
what port they were shipped, and fix
the responsibility for their condition
and non-delivery."
1t is reported that between LOO and
1900 tons of all kinds of subsistence
stores We're slowed away in the La
Grande Duchesse's hold. There were
hard bread and bacon, canned meats.
canned vegetables, and what not that
| should have been retired on pension
long time ago.
After looking over the stuff the board
took the affidavit of the captain, in
which the time and place of loading the
stores were given as well as the name of
the officer to whom they were con-
signed and the port of consignment.
1t is learned that the captain Of the
steamer stated in his affidavit that the
stores had been aboard the ship for
about four months.

The searchlight has proved useful far
beyond the expectations of its invent
ors. Locomotives are now equipped with
it, besides osean-going vessels, river

smaller way it is used by bicyclists and
policemen hunting down burglars. And
the searehlight is to be used in bal

WAR SOFTENS HIS HEART.
Millionaire Borden Of New York City
May he Reconciled to His
Recreant Son.

Matthew Sterling Borden, soldier,
may succeed where Matthew Sterling
Borden, student, failed miserably. In
times of peace nothing could soften
the heart of the father, NJ. c. ID. Bor-
den, one of the richest men in Ameri-
ca, but his friends say that now that
his son has returned with the Eighth
New York, having endured with forth
tude the horrors of camp life at Chick
amauga, and having used his medical
knowledge TO mitigate the sufferings
of his comrades, Borden the elder is
willing to forgive the young man for
having married the girl he loved.
This reconciliation, if it takes place,
will be a fitting last chapter to one of
the most engrossing romances of Yale
student life. VI. G. ID. Borden, whose
home is at West Fifty-sixth street,
New York city, is a man of many in
terests, member of many clubs, and
owner of many millions. He is presi-
dent of the American Printing COM
pany and Of the Fall River iron works,
and is partner in the dry goods bust
ness of Cornelius y. Bliss, secretary of
the interior.
His son, Matthew Sterling. entered
the academic department of Yale in
1892. He fell in love with Mildred Neg
baur, the prettiest girl in New Haven,
but the daughter of a tailor. His
parents objected. but he married her
secretly and now it is possible after
serving in the war, he may be forgiven.

San Francisco, Sept. 1o.-Advices
from Honolulu say that the Hawaiian
commissioners have decided upon the
name of Territory of Hawaii" as the
name hereafter to be used to desig-
nate the islands. The form of govern
ment will be modelled on that of ex-
listing territories. 1t is probable that
in working out the details the form of
government will not approximate so
closely to that of state government as
the ordinary form of government
does. But the ultimate possibility of
statehood will not be barred.
