Bills From Billyille.

A bill will be introduced from Bill
vile to move Jones' distilery within
easier reach Of town. Some of our lead
ing citizens have rheumatism and can't
get there handy.
A bill will be advocated by our repre-
sentative to make county Office holders
get out when another man is elected in
their place, and to leave enough funds in
the treasury for the other man to live on.
Also, bill to erect large county poor
house, in consideration Of the fact that.
after three years experience in this town,
editors have nowhere to go.-Atlanta

GENERAL MILES CHARGES.
The Court Of Inquiry Holds Sc
cret Session at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Court
of Inquiry to investigate the allega-
tons of the Major-General of the army
in respect to the quality of the beef fur
nished the army during the war with
Spain met to-day at the rooms recently
occupied by the War Investigating
Commission in the Lemnfon Building.
A full membership was present, and
the court went into secret session to
discuss the preliminary proceedings and
to endeavor to sketch out the line of
inquiry to be pursued.
This afternoon Colonel Davis the Re-
corder, gave out a statement as to the
court and its work. To-day and to-
morrow, he said, it will be occupied
with an examination of reports of regi-
mental and other commanders who par
ticipated in the Cuban and Porto Rican
campaigns the. object being to select
witnesses to be summoned. In addition
to these reports, the proceedings Of the
War Inquiry Commission will be looked
to for suggestions of witnesses
The taking of testimony will hardly
begin before Monday General Miles is
expected to testify first, presenting his
charges and their foundations The in
vestigation will be limited strictly to
canned roast beef and refrigerated beef,
but the scope of the inquiry will be so
comprehensive as to follow the beef
from the packer to private soldier, so
that the action Of the packers and all
War. Department officials connected
with the beef supply will be investi-
gated
Colonel Davis said the inquiry would
continue indefinitely. Colonel Davis
said the court was not limited in it's
sittings to Washington, but under the
order converting it could travel from
place to place. This statement is con-
sidered significant, for while the court
has announced no determination to go
elsewhere, there is a possibility that it
will visit the Chicago and other Amer
lean packing houses where the beef in
question is prepared.
The list Of witnesses will include
many civilians, as we'll as army officers.
Suggestions as to witnesses, Colonel
Davis said, would be considered and all
will be summoned who might seem
likely to throw any light upon the con-
trOyerSy

San Francisco, Feb 18th.
The local Wheat market is easier,
though not quotably lower; futures are
lower; early advices from Chicago gave
the market as steady and fairly active.
but later in the day the market declined.
Barley is lower on call, but the spot mar
ket Is dull and unchanged. The Dat
market is not as buoyant as it was yes
terday, but there is no actual decline in
prices; arrivals to-day were light; seed
descriptions are lower. Corn is un-
changed; there has been very little doing
in this article for some time past
Hay is firmer at advanced prices, owing
to light receipts and the prospects Of con-
tinued dry weather. Bran and MiddlinSS
are firm, with light arrivals
During the early hours of the day there
was very poor sale for Apples and
Orar ges: the market continues amply
supplied with both What little demand
there is for Oranges is for fancy goods.
Some extra Apples bring more than our
outside figure.
Butter is a cent lower and the. demand
is slack: receipts are heavier; Cheese is
unchanged; the supply is not heavy, but
there is not much movement. Some deal
ers are entirely cleaned up on Eggs; prices
are unchanged, but decline IS anticipated
shortly.

Three Tiremen Meet With Death
at phfladelphia.

PHILADELPHIA Pa.), Feb. 17.-At
about 3 o'clock this morning, while a
dozen firemen were at work in the
ruins of the store of the Emerson Shoe
Company, which was burned out, in
last nights big fire, mass of iron and
stone crashed down from the upper
floors, burying the men beneath it.
Three Of the firemen were killed. They
were: William Chance, Hugh Duffy,
George w. Stinle.
When the three men were first buried
under the debris they answered the
shouts of their comrades, but the an
swering cries soon ceased, and the I'M
fortunates undoubtedly met death by
suffocation
Five other firemen were injured, two
seriously by falling debris.

New Hardware Corporation-Daring Thief
Caught by his Vanity.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, November 20.-"The
Rock Hill Supply Company" is the
style Of the new Incorporated hard
ware company which will go into
business here at once, or rather in a
few days.
Mr.. w. J. Roddey's insurance off

cupied by the Rock Hill Hardware
company, He is moving into the
ground floor rooms on Railroad ave.
nue., behind the Union National bank.
His big safe, while being brought
down the stairs the other day, got be-
yond the control of the workmen and
did some damage, both to itself and
to the stone pavement.
The organization of the new husi'
ness undertaking, known as The Com.

this club will occupy the rooms va

the floor above as hall. Of this or
ganization more will be said later.
Messrs. Williams and Leslie, of the
Leslie Station Camp of Woodmen Of

morning to recover the jewels, badges,
Literature, etc., of their camp, which
were last Friday stolen from their

next night. The Negro, who gives
the name of Will Jones and who

their property and came on to Rock
Hill. Seeing the bicycle mentioned
on the piazza, he mounted it and struck
out for Chester. Arriving there, his
his vanity led him to display promi-
nently upon his person one of the
badges he had stolen, and it was that
which caused suspicion and his arrest.
He was brought back here that night by
Magistrate Beckbam, sentenced, upon
the confession to the wheel theft, to 60
days on the county chaingang. Since
last Wednesday he has been improving
the bicycle paths southwest of York

will be rearrested on the charge by the
Woodmen.

ATTEN !

GONE of my friends and customers have
- discharged their obligations by set
tling their accounts. Others have not.
To the former tender my most sincere
thanks, and beg to assure them that their
action is appreciated even more, if possi-
ble, than it would have been were in a
position to give my business my personal
attention, which is, of course, impossible,
owing TO my continued illness and conse-
quent absence from home. TO those who
have not yet settled, desire to say that
their IMMEDIATE ATTENTION is
greatly desired, and that I expect every
one who owes me anything to settle
without further delay. Please bear in
mind this is not intended for your neigh
bor-unless he owe s me-but to YOU, if
YOU have not settled in full.
