Hasband Resents an Insult 20 HIS wife
With Fatal Consequences.
4 SPARrANBURe, s. O., Jannary 19.,
| News reached here tosday. Of q
bloody battle which occurred about
midnight last Sunday at the home
of Houston Ruppe, in Polk county,
N. O., near Inman. The facts OBJ
tainable are these: ., ris.
Tol Mo cCreary, a well. known young
white man, was very much under the
influence of whiskey, and gave a
mortal insult to the wife Of Reht.
Huntsinger, who Immediately, in
formed her husband. Then followed
q fight to the death. #
Huntsinger found MoCreary, and
without hesitating attacked him.
Knives were freely used. It appears
that the husband, was somewhat
worsted in his bout with MoCreary,
and Mr.. Ote Durham interferred.
MoCrary started toward him, making
threats, whereupon Durham pulled
his pistol, and fred three shots at
his advancing antagonist. &aoh Eaoh bii bui-
let took fatal effect, and few hours
afterward, McCreary %as dead.
During the firing MIR. Durham's
pistol went off accidentally, and the
ball took effect in his right leg, rang
ing downward. His wound is ex-
ceedingly dangerous. Z.
Meanwhile Mr.. Huntsinger was car
ried to his home, where he suffered
terribly, and to-day he died, in spite
of the most persistent effort of DIR.
King to save him. -. ,
Mr.. Durham at once gave himself
up to the sheriff of Polk county, of
which he was a citizen, and there
quietly awaits the result of his pre-
liminary trial.
coRoNER's INQUEST HELD.
INMAN, S. c., January 20.-Yes-
terday Coroner Bishop held an in
quest over the dead body of Robt.
Huntsinger, at the home of Dock
Brady, near New Prospect, where
he died.
The evidence given to the jury
did not differ materially from the
particulars in the above dispatch.
The verdict rendered was that
deceased came to his death from
wounds inflicted by knife in the
hands Of one McCreary.
Huntsinger was a young man,
having been married only about a
year, and leaves a young wife to
mourn his death. His home was at
Arlington, in this county.
AS soon as Huntsinger learned
that the Sheriff was after him, it
appears he left his homo and went
to that Of his friend, Dock Brady.

WASHINGTON, January 13.--The House
to-day entered nnnn tho consideration &c
the naval personnel bill. ~.
In tho course of his remarks Mr.. Berry
made the first allusion on tho floor of the
House to tho mooted question as to who
was to be credited for the victory over
Cervera's fleet at Santiago.
II believe the bill will remove conflict,
and IL there is any country where there
10 necessity for the removal of conflict
in tho army or the navy it is the United
States. Uaughtor.) think we had
magnificent phase of conflict in tho
armed service of the United States in the
papers this N orning, and whether it win
ond In o duol or not do not know, but
1t shows there Is very considerable
amount of friction in tho army of the
United States. There was some conflict
then among tho officers in Che navy In
the greatest battle of tho WAY, tho great
est battle of modern times, because 1t do
monstrated the character of the mon and
tho vessels that were engaged in it, and
there is no doubt in the minds Of tho
American people who is entitled to the
credit of the victory. But there are peo-
pie who are trying to steal away from
Schley tho credit Of the glorious triumph
he won on the third of July, 1885,"
In this connection Mr.. Berry read tho
following poem amid @ whirlwind Of
laughter and applause:
''When tho Spanish fleet with full head

Taking tho chances of death and wreck,

A Revolutionary Barlow.

MIR. John w. Campbell, of this
city, has in his possession an Eng
lish barlow knife that has baen
handed down from father to son for
over 100 years, and it is said to have
once been owned by Lord Corn
wallis. The family tradition is that
Mr.. Campbell's great-grandfathor
Maguire was y soldier in Corvallis
army, and in riding along past the
camp one day Corvallis horse be-
camo unruly and he handed the
knife to Maguiro to cut him switch
and when the switch was handed
him he rode off and forgot the knife
and Mcguire put it in his pocket.
Mcguire afterward deserted the
British and remained in this country.
There is no doubt about this knife
having been in the family for that
length of time and the tradition is
well authenticated. .--Grcenvilie Daily

WAsHINaToN, January l7.--Presdent MoIIin.
Icy announced TO the cabinet ut Its regular meet
| ing to-day that he had determined to courtmar-
| tial Gen. Eagan.
Secretary Alger was not present at the cabinet
meeting, but Adjt. Gen. Corbin was at the white
| house In conference with tho President on the
| subject just prior to tho 'cabinet session. Tho
order for tho courtmartial was made this After
! noon.
Tho decision which was reached only this
| morning, notwithstont ing reports that q court
| martial had been decided on yesterday, mot the
unanimous approval of tho members of the
| cabinet. Three Of tho Presidents official ad.
visers, Secretary Alger, Secretary Wilson and
Postmaster General Bmith, were absent but in
| each instance their views are known to coincide
| thoroughly with the Presldent's decision,
While 1t was not definitely stated after the
| cabinet meeting what specifications would be
made against Gen. Eagan, 1t is understood that
the specific charge of which he will be tried
| will be conduct unbecoming AN oifcor and q
gentleman. Tho personnel of tho court has not
yet boon made public. D..
| just prior to tho cabinet meeting Gen. Miles
| mado rather unuaual call upon two Of the
| members OF tho cabinet, Secretaries Hay snd
Long. He had just returned to the city from
| Now York and when spoken to with reference to
tho Easan case adhered to his original deolara-
tion that this was not time for him to cot IL at
all, leaving tho implications that IL tho COM
mission did not aot or tho administration, 1t
would then be timo for him to take aome steps.
The Gommissary genera was on dusy rs usual
at his of1ico aud buaineHs wa, apparently going
along In tho usual way, although 1t was noticed
tiiat ihcre wore moro callers upon Gen. Eagan
OF tho official class--namely. OflCors of his own
corps. This is not usually the case.
To the President this morning he said that he
was prepared to accept Loyalty whatever action
tho Prosldont might deoide to mako.

done nor to shift their responsibility
on others. With deep gratitude to
the friends who have never wayofed
in their support, with malice towards
none and goodwill towards my fol-
low citizens, with profound appre-
citation Of the great honor conferred,
I enter upon my second term as Gov
ernor of this historic Commonwealth.
TO the citizens, let me repeat, whose
votes were cast for rme, I can never
express my gratitude; but, while
deeply grateful to my friends, shall
endeavor never to forget my duty to
the. whole people and to treat with
fairness and consideration even the
bitterest of my political enemies. l
repeat what was said two years ago :
j assume this office untrammellcd by
n single promise inconsistent with
the welfare of the people, To dis
charge my duties faithfully and we'll,
to win the approval and to merit the
confidence of all patriotic citizens
shall be my highest ambition. In
my former inaugural was outlined q
policy which, in tho main, I shall
still endeavor to pursue. In oonclu-
sion, my countrymen, I bespeak for
myself during the two coming years,
if my life be spared, the utmost
stretch of your generosity and char
ity. All good citizens are struggliu G,
though over different roads, for tho
same goal, tho highest welfare of our
beloved State. Let lis vie with each
other, not to engender wrath and
bitterness of speech, but to allay
passion and prejudice and to enkindIe
in the hearts of the rising generation
a deeper love for our grand old
State. With confidence in the integ-
rity of our people, with faith in a
God who favors and protects the
righteous, l shall take up the burden
of this high trust with fresh hope and
strong courage"
There was applause at the conclu.
sion of Governor Ellerbe's address.
Lieutenant Governor McSweeney
was then presented and took the oath
| of office, and, at the conclusion of
the ceremony, said:
"Fellow Citizens and Gentlemen
of the General Assembly: 1t has been
time-honorcd custom for the Lieu
tenant Governor simply to thank the
people for the honor conferred and
to adjourn the joint assembly. I
shall not deviate from that custom,
and simply desire to express to the
people of South Carolina my deep
appreciation of the honor they have
conferred in electing me for second

The Yacht Races.

The failure of the wind YESTERDAY pre-
vented race between the cup challenger
ana defender, and so the re alive merits
of the two racers are today as uncertain
as ever. There is practically no bass for
estimating what either boat can do N a
reliable breeze in any style of work The
gains made by Columbia on the run be-
fore the WIND were indicative, perhaps OF
some degree of superiority in That craft
but even N that case the wind varied from
point to point along the course sufficiently
to lessen the value of any estimates L. Is
true that after the reports of the attempt
to send the yachts over the course had
been circulated on both sides of the ocean
Shamrock stock picked up MAJ kelly in the
betting. This was probably due to the fact
THAI the challenger was ahead when the
wind ai-ed and the race was called off.
There is little just fcatio for accepting
this fact. as significant for Columbia was
practically becalmed large part OF the
time which elapsed after she had turned
the stake boat Some criticisms are di-
rected at the manner in which Columb.a
was managed. 1t may be that the react on
in betting circles in favor of the Irish
yacht is in part consequence of a susp4-
con that her hande rs VII get more out
of her than will those of Columbia To-
MORROW race Will be sailed under the
same rules as that scheduled for yester-
day. fifteen miles straight away and re-
turn. either running out free or beating out
according to the direction of the wind.
Yesterdays affair at least demonstrated
that the new course rules can be made ef-
fect.Ve in preventing undue crowd.ng. AS
a result of the patrol fleets work the
course was kept practically clear at every
stage of the run, although three captains
and one pilot offended sufficiently to justify
Captain Evans in recommending the revo-
cation of their licenses. The rules regulat-
ing the contest are in the interest of The
captains and owners themselves, for 1t is
questionable whether without them the in
ternational yacht races would be sailed
within reaching distance of the excursion
fleet. To contribute, therefore, to the
breakdown of the rules is to kill the goose
that lays the golden eggs.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


There can be no peace in the Philippines
Until the absolute and supreme authority
OF this government is recognized and re-
spected. and such recognition and respect,
by whatever necessary efforts and at what
ever necessary sacrifices, it is the duty of
this government to secure. The sooner the
intriguing Aguinaldo Is brought to realize
that such is the situation and that there is
no getting away from it, the sooner may
we expect that the futile, costly, mistaken
contest now proceeding will be brought to
an end. We desire peace, but we are not
willing to purchase peace at the price of a
concession which would compromise the
unconditional character of our Jurisdiction
and make trouble for in the years to
come.
1t may be that Aguinaldo is counting
upon being bought off with a considerable
bride. If so. he is destined to be disap-
pointed. That is not our way of doing
business, and even if we were willing to
sacrifice principle in this direction to the
promise of an early peace, to buy Agui-
naldo would be to make a bad bargain.
The trouble is that, as the Spaniards dis
covered to their cost. he can't be trusted to
stay bought. He has a way of taking the
purchase money and failing to deliver the
goods.

The American "MOb."

Poultney Bigelow, who took such a
fatherly interest in the country at the time
of our preparations for war with Spain.
crticising the troops, their mobilization,
and much else has returned to the sub
ject of the country's shortcomings, and at
Berlin has sounded rather a pessimistic
note. He tells the people of Europe that
in America the "moh'' is now in charge.
and that the mob is hysterical. Mill
tary glory has gone to its alleged head.
and is causing 1t to cut some very reck-
less capers. He speaks of IAN undisci-
plined press of irresponsible Congress
men," and of general cowardice prevailing
where courage should prevail, quite III the
key of one bending under a weight of dis
gust and despair
Is Mr. Bigelow really competent to treat
of this subject? Hasn't he spent too much
time abroad as a hanger-on OF royalty to
make his views about his home government
of any value? Hasn't something gone to
his own head which has deprived him of
the capacity. if at any time he possessed
capacity. to speak for the United States
He is the American who holds cronyish
relations with the German emperor and
travels on that fact. Appropriately
enough, therefore. he selected the emper-
or's capital as his shouting-place.
What Mr.. Bigelow calls the mob has
always been in control in America. 1t
was in control when Mr.. Jefferson made
the Louisiana purchase. and it .hysterical-
ly" ratified that transaction. 1t was in
control when Andrew Jackson. for mill
tary aggressiveness in the Gulf section first
became a hero. It was in control when
Abraham Lincoln was elected President,
and was Historically" sustained in hts ef-
