Fired First.
WILLIAMSON, w. Va, Sept. 15.-In
the trial of Elias Hatfield for the mur-
der of H. E. Ellis, July 8, the plea
sought to be sustained by prisoner s
counsel is that the killing was done in
selfdefense. 1t was proved that after
Hatfield insulted Ellis he Withdrew a
few steps from the train. Ellis then
walked back into the coach, got his
Winchester, returned to the platform of
the coach, presented the gun, and said:
"Now, - you, come"
Two shots were fired, almost simulta-
neously. The defense maintains that
Ellis fired first. The prisoner will tes-
tify, the evidence will be completed and
arguments begun today. The jury try
ing the case We're selected from 80 men
summoned as jurors, about 40 of whom
were rejected because related to Hat
field and ha.f that number to Ellis.

WANT AMERICAN RULE.
the Rebeis-One Insurgent Leader
Absconded.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Mail ad-
vices received at the war department
from Manila state that the natives of
the island of Samar are praying for the
speedy arrival of the Americans, and
will welcome the hoisting of the Ameri-
can flag. 1t Is said that as a result OF
the forc1ble collection of taxes by the
emissaries of the insurgents, who take
all they have got, the natives are in a
state of semi starvation.
They have no faith In the Tagalos.
and they earnestly desire American pro-
lection. An insurgent leader, General
Lucban, has bolted to Japan, taking
with him $500 collected by him for
the insurgents. The agents of the in.
surgents eudeavor to force the natives
to join their cause, which they will not
do

CREW PROBABLY FAITHLESS.
lAore Particulars of the Lo0tins al

More Particulars of the Lo0tinS and
Burning of the Saturnus.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia report has
been received by mail at the war de.
partment giving an account of the cap
tlrre ..ud destruction Of the steamer
Saturnus, which carried $40, 900 in cash
,and a valuable cargo, accounts of which
have appeared in press dispatches.
There Is absolutely no truth in the
rumor of the assassination or murder of
che crew of the vessel.
1t is generally believed that portion
of the crew, and perhaps some of the
passengers, were i'll league with the reb-
els, and, knowing that the insurgent
had Il concealed battery planted there,
ranSthe vessel ashore under the rebel
guls so as to make the looting more
easy.
y subsequent report received here
states that the crew and passengers of
the Saturnus were all safe an ,unin-
jured at T;i,lac. the Filipino capital 1t
was expected that the crew and passen-
gers would arrive i'll Manila soon, as it
was said that they were free to go
where they pleased unmolested. The
Suturnus was fully insured against loss,
including the risk of war.

Congressional COnvention-Nsmed
ON 299th Ballot.

WHEELING. Sept. 15.-The deadlocked
convelltio. Of the Sixteenth (O.) Re-

enough votes to nominate, and at the
opening of the afternoon session Mr..
Weems withdrew and sufficient votes
from Belmont were cast for Gall to
give him the nomination. The last
ballot resulted ill Gill receiving 106
votes and Hollingsworth GO.
An effort was made to throw the
Holingsworth strength to Weems,
which would have given him the
nomination, but it failed, whereupon
Weems withdrew. Although hotly
contested, the convention was harmo-
NOUS throughout, and all the defeated
candidates heartily pledged the nomi-

stated that he will be either ordered
back to C.tnson OF be given another po-
sltion in the consular service equally rs
good as that he occupied ia China
1t is understood that there was moth
ing more damaging against DIR. Bedloe
than indiscretiou i'll trusting too much
to his Chinese interpreter, Chung. The
latter, it is understood, used his posi-
ton to issue fraudulent certificates to
Chinese, declaring them to be students
and exempt from the exclusion law,
when, in fact they were coolies.
1t has been SHOWN that DR.. Bedloe
was not connected with these transac-
tions except he did not examine the
certificates that went out of his Office as
closely as he should have done, having
had full confidence in his interpreter
until the latter's rascality came to the
surface.
1t is understood that the complaint
OF the Chinese government has been
withdrawn as the sources of the trou-
BILE at Canton Interpreter Chung has
been long since dis smissed from the ser
vice.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-11-22

THIS is the season during which the
l. people of this section generally make
selection of the newspaper they expect to
read during the following year.
We want THE ENQUIRER to go as a
TWICE -A-WEEK visitor to every home
in York county. With the assistance of
intelligent and trustworthy friends in the
different localities, we know it can he
gotten into many homes to which it is not
now going. This assistance is Of much
value to us, and it is our purpose to pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of a certain subscriber
last year, is no reason why he should
nave any claim upon that subscriber this
year. Because one individual may al
ready be at work in Il given neig hbor.
hood, is no reason why another should
not also canvass in that neighborhood.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub.
scribers whenever and wherever he or
she may be able to get them, and upon
compliance with the conditions herein
stated, have them counted.
| Our plan of compensation to clubmak-
ers this year is on the same line as here
tofore-a competition for TWO LEAD
ING PREMIUMS to be awarded for the
TWO LARGEST clubs, and third lead:
ing premium for the largest club OF
NEW SUBSCRIBERS. After that the
value of the premium is in proportion to
the number of names returned.
