COMMITTED SUICIDE.
A Negro Woman Leaps from the Win
doW Of a Train.

Susie Little. colored woman, COM
mitted suicide Wednesday afternoon by
jumping from the car window Of train
on the Columbia. Nevberry and Lad.
rens road, which was moving at the rate
Of 30 miles an hour.
The train was near the station of
Ballentine, in Lexington county, and
had just passed a gang of section hands
among whom was the womans husband.
They had not lived together for some
time, but when the husband found that
his wife had money or her person he
demanded that it be given to him, but
this was refused.
The woman was sitting in the seat
with her l2-year-old sister, and before
any in the car knew what she was doing
she had jumped from the window. How
she got out is a remarkable matter.
Her neck was broken by the fall and
her head cut up, while it is probable
that many bones were broken. Her
young sister also attempted to get out
Of the window but was prevented from
doing so by the other passengers in the
car.
The tickets upon which the two ne
groes were travelling were second class
tickets, bought at Laurens. to Column
bia. The dead womans brother, Sic
Goodley, lives at St. Matthews. 1t is
thought that the woman was crazy, and
it is not known whether or not she saw
her husband IS the train passed him.
Her baggage consisted OF some bas-
kets and bundles audsi5 81 were found
upon her person, all of which was taken
in charge BY the conductor, Capt Fow-
Ter. who turned them over to the rail-
road authorities. The body was left at
the scene Of the suicide. awaiting the
arrival Of the coroner. The dead wo-
man sister refused to leave the body
and acted as if she also we're out Of her
right mind

Issues a Manifesto.

AguinalGo has issued a manifesto ac-
cepting the situation caused by the ''un-
expected provocation of the Ameri-
cans, while lamenting hostilities,
which, he says, he tried to avoid by
every means" in his power, making hu-
initiating concessions and tolerating the
insults and ou.rages Of the army Of oc-
cupation against the people Of Manila. i
He adds that he is prepared to sacrifice
everything to maintain the national
honor, calls upon all to witness the
good faith and honesty of his inten-
tions, and complains that he has been
treated as a rebel, because defended
the national interests instead Of becom-
ing the tool Of American preposterous
pretentions. The rebel leader further
alleges that the country is unanimous
in his support, that the people will
perish rather than accept odious Amer
lean Dominion, and alleging that
even corrupt Spanish dominion is pre-
ferrable. The Philippine commission
is considered by Aguinaldo to be a
farce and Messrs. DENLY, Dewey and
Secretary Harden are c'assed as pro
nounced annexationists, the latter be-
ing charged as having 'maliciously de-
famed" the Filipinos in newspaper re-
ports. He is classed as beiug especial
ly obnoxious to the Filipino govern
mens. Finally, Aguiualdo expresses
his wish to proclaim to the world and
officially dispel the false rumors that
Germany or any other power has render
ed assistance, moral or material, to the
Fllipinos, adding, NOR have the Fill
pinos solicited it.

Froze Her Neighbor In.

\ Reading. Pa, woman was given a
hearing one lay last week before an al
derman on most extraordinary charge.
1t seems that fer some time Mrs. Mick
ael Marsunek and Mrs. John Nestle,
neighbors have MT been on very frie nd-
ly terms, and Mrs. Marsunek was ar
rested on oath of Mrs. Nestle, who a.
leges that her neighbor visited the Nes
tie home during the severe blizzard and
dashed bucket after bucket Of water
against the kitchen door. Subsequent
ly, the prosecutrix alleges, the front
door Of her residence was treated in the
same way, the water freezing almost as
quickly as it struck the doors, and when
Mrs. Nestle wished to leave her home
next morning she discovered that she
was icebound, and ii was impossible to
open the doors until assistance came
and the ice was cut away.

Col. John P. Thomas makes the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the work
of the Confederate historian:
Inasmuch as the general assembly
has made no provision for the continu-
ance at present Of the work Of this Of

dersigned to define and declare its sta
tus. The Office willremain open to the
reception Of Confederate papers and to
such amendments and additions to the
rolls as may be sent in, with the view
of further perfectiqg the record of South
Carolina in the war between the States
Until he returns his commission to the
governor of the State, the undersigned,
while otherwise engaged, will be pleas
ed to make this contribution to the
cause Of the Confederate soldiery Of
South Carolina. Jno p Thomas.

ENGLAND'S WAY.
Her Big Guns Soon Convinced the
Refractory Sultan.

Important details regarding the ac-
tion Of the British authorities at Mus
cst, the capital of the sultanate of
Oman. have just become public. 1t
appears that the news of the lease by
the sultan Of Oman of coaling station
to France on the coast Of Oman leaked
out while the British political agent at
Muscat, Maj. Eagan. was absent. He
promptly returned to his post but the
sultan refused to furnish him with any
information The commander of the
gunboat Sphinx thereupon dispatched
a lieutenant and armed party to the
Bandar-Jiosih. But the sultan. hop
ing to receive aid from the French,
continued to be recalcitrant. Arrival
Of the second-class cruiser Eclipse, flag
ship of the East Indies station, with
Rear Admiral Z. C. Drummond on
board, thre Y the sultans subjects into
a panic, though the sultan himself re-
mained obdurate.
During the morning Of February 10Th
Admiral Drummond sent word ashore
that unless the sultan attended dur
bar on board the Eclipse at o'clock
that afternoon he would lombard the
forts at 2:20 p. N. Notice of the ad-
mirals intention was sent to the foreign
consuls and the town was speedily in
confusion. The advisers of the sultan
entreated him to submit, and the
Eclipse took up position broadside
the town, while the other British ships
cleared for action. The sultan there
upon posted a notification at the Gus
tom house and on the gates of the town
that the agreement with the French
was cancelled.
At noon the sultan sent his brother
on board the Eclipse, but the British
admiral refused to receive him as a
substitute. Just before 2 o'clock the
sultan Of Oman, almost unattended,
arrived on board the flagship and re-
mained there for three hours, while the
whole population lined the beach
and anxiously awaited the outcome.
The sultan, Il appears, completely ac-
quiesced to the British demands and
handed over to Admiral Drummond the
treaty with France. On the following
day the admiral went to the palace,
where great durbar was held and the
sultan publicly repudiated his agree
ment with France.
