RED TAPE.
Strlnging out Details Required
by South Carolina Troops to
Get Their Money.
Greenville News.


Columbia, 5. c., May 81
Judge G. Z. Townsend writes
concel ming the claims against the
government for South Carolina
troops.
"The United States auditor
says the law was all right and
Sl.5O per day will be allowed bv
the government.
"llc further informed me that
when there were no special forms.
and none would be required for
making out claims of officers and
men, the rolls must show the
names, number OF davs served
between the enlistment into the
service and the muster in, the
amount due each, with receipt
from each man.
"He further said there must be
the certificate of some military
officers az to the correctness of
the rolls, and also attached to
each, copy of the act You send
me.
"The auditor said it must ap
pear that the men actually volun-
tcered, that is. that they went to
Columbia for this purpose.
Captains of companies should
90 to work ut once on the basis of
this letter and get up the rolls.
The men will get S1.5O per dav,
except officers, who will get the
regular army pay. 1t is certain
that both the accepted and reject
ed men will be paid for the time
between enrolment for the SER
vice and the muster in or reiec-
ton from the United States army.
But Il receipt for each individual
man must be had and the sooner
the captains forward the rolls the
sooner will the men be paid. An
army officer, probably Captain
Fuller, will be detailed to assist
IN getting up correct rolls.
An effort will be made tC secure
Il months extra pay for the First
Regiment. But there is some
doubt about It being obtained, rs
the regiment was mustered out be-
fore the law allowing extra pay
was passed.

MENINGITIS PROVES FATAL
TO CONNICTS.
Young Solomon of Hampton the
First Nictim-Thrce Deaths
Have Occurred.
The State, 31st inst.

''N''N, 'i''N i''''''
There has been considerable
excitement for several days over
the appearance Of several cases of
meningitis at the State peniten-
tiary. In view OF the talk about
the matter, Representative of The
State yesterday. called on Super~
intendont Griffith and Dr.. Griffith.
who is Mt present in charge of the
medical department at the prison,
owing to the fact that DR.. Sturkic,
the regular physician, is quite
sick at his home.
So far five cases have developed
at the institution, and three of
them have terminated fatally.
The first victim was young Solo
NOR, the 14-ycar-old white boy
who was some time ago sent up
for n 15~year term for the killing
of his own father. This case was
notable one. Though the boy
admitted killing his father, setting
up as a defense that he did SO to
prevent his father from killing
his sister, many believe that be
was guiltless of the crime. His
mother was here and visited aim
on Wednesday last. In the after,
noon, after she had gone, the lad
was stricken with cerebro spinal
meningitis, and though he was
given the best of attention, he
died Friday. On the day he died
his mother was wired of his ex-
treme illness. She came here and
the body was taken back to
Hampton for interment.
Two negro convictS we're seized
with meningitis the same dav.
One of them died on Sunday last;
the other is still alive. He was
better yesterday morning; but
suffered Il relapse in the evening.
\ female convict was taken sick
with the disease Sunday and died
Monday.
There have been, as stated, up
to date five eases. The two re
naming cases have been thorouph-
" isolated, and the quarters which
the affected prisoners occupied
have been disinfecteI.
DR.. Griffith, who is in CHARGE
says that though the disease is to
certain extent contagious, he
hopes through the steps taken to
prevent any further spread. He
has conferred with DR.. Tavlor
and with DR.. A. Earle Boozcr
chairman of the Columbia board
OF health, aud nothing will be left
undonc to prevent the disease
affecting other prisoners.
ANOTHER VICTIM.
Columbia, 5. c., MAY 81
Calhoun Jenkins, IL convict from
dorchester county, died at the
penltcntiary last night of cerebro
spinal MENINGITIS.
This makes the fourth death in
the institution from this disease
within the past week.
There are still two cases re.
ported as doing very well and no
new cases had developed during
the day.
jenkins was attacked by the
disease yesterday afternoon and
1t made quick work of him. With.
In few hours after the first
symptoms appeared he was a dead
man.

KILLED BY HIS CHILDREN.
Cruel Father Shot and Killed bv
His Young Children.

Rapid City, S. D., May %
y remarkable murder case has
developed here in which II
year old girl, Lena Bouts and her
. 1O-year-old brother are Charged
with the murder of their father,
Frank Bouts. The murdered man
was prominent railroad cons
tractor.
The little girl admits the crime
and the boy adds that he did what
he could to Kill his father. The
father is said to have been verv
cruel to his family and this appears
TO have been the motive for the
crime. 1t was committed while
the mother was Mt II neighbor's.
and after the killing the girl pre-
pared lunch in the usual way, and
when the mother returned the
three sat down and ate, while the
body Of the father lay few rods
away in the rear of the house.
The rifle of the father was used
for the purpose. While the lit
tie boy steadicd the weapon the
girl fired it from a rear window
Her aim was true, and great
hole was torn in her fathers back.
Death must have been instantanc
Gus. The gun was put away and
nothing said of the crime until
the mother became alarmed at the
long absence of the fathcr, and
the shooting was then admitted.
The children are quite bright,
and seem TO think the cruelty of
their parent warranted the murder.
The girl spoke freely to the wife
Of the jailor in Rapid City today
of the crime.
"GOu see she said, "papa
was very mean 20 mama and us,
and Nicholas and were talking
about having him hanged, and he
came in the house and kicked me.
Nicholas ran to him, and he got
kicked too. Then papa went out
behind the house to fix buggy
whip, and we thought he was go
ing to whip us, so Nicholas got
the rifle and cooked it, as he had
seen papa do, and | put it through
the window close to where papa
stood. | pulled the trigger and
it kicked me down, but when |
looked out papa was rolling on
the ground, but did not speak. 3"

Ing the GREATER psrs Of the session the
market showed considerable strength.
1t is true that London according to the
official quotations came slightly lower
for Americans than cur closing, but just
before the opening the London market
showed an upwsri tendency with tn e
result that arbitrngs houses were only
very small sellers of international stocks.
Stocks oh as American tobacco and
metropolitan. w ich suffered the GREATEST
declines during the last weeks panic
showed the greatest strength. The latter
advanced Dver ten points ~ compared
with last nights closing price on what
looked like Urgent covering Of shorts. In
American tobacco. the buying was good
and not much stock was encountered
until par was reached mt which prlos
thsrs seemed between six and ten thous
and shares for sale. A. 8. W. showed
considerable strength, although the re
were rumors that the dividend to be de-
olared next month win be Mt the rate Of
six per cent per annum instead Of at the
rate of eight ger cent per annum as was
rumcred some days ago
The buying of Fed Steel continu es to
be based on the expectation that the total
dividend to be paid In January will
amount to "a per cent That is to say
there viii be l 1-2 extra declared In add.
ton to the 2 IT, per osnt which was de-
clared last summer and subsequently, en-
joined.
The announcement OF the grand jrry
that 1t had failed TO 4 nd any Indictments
Ia the b. X. 4. case was looked upon as
q bull point and resulted in q very sharp
advance in the stock, and although a
good portion of the advance was subse-
quently lost closing prices were substan-
TALLY higher than they were last night.
During the last hour the market sold
of in some cases rather sharply, the sell
ing movement being principally attrib-
uted to the st. Paul statement for No
vembsr, which, although is showed an
increase OF $50. af3 In gross. nevertheless
showed net decrease of s5l,32S.
