MIR. Frank Happerheld lost morse
last Saturday night by death.
The ball game between Yorkville
and Rock Hill takes place in Rock
Hill today Wednesday, 1t is proba-
BILE that a number of people will 60
from here to watch the game.
Although the salesday attendance
last Monday was not large enough to
be especially noticeable, it included a
number of ladies from the country and
trade in the stores was very good. 1t
was especially so with Messrs. ]. M.
Heath & Co., and H. C. Strauss.
The first Sunday passenger train for
quite a long while passed over the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
railroad last Sunday. There was not
a great deal of travel either way dur.
ing the day, and practically no mail in
the afternoon. 1t is probable, how
ever, that as time goes on the train
VIII be more generally used.
The Yorkville baseball team is now
composed as follows: J. P. White,
manager; Walton S. Neill, captain +;
Chappelle, pitcher; Mcdowell, catch
er; Brothers, 3rd base; F. Williams,
shortstop; Walton Neill, End base
H. Neill, 1st base; M. Williams,
right field J.; Weldon Neill, centre field !;
McClain left field. 1t is understood
that the Charlotte team will probably
come over next Monday and Tuesday !;
but the matter has not been definitely
fixed. The Yorkville team also has
under consideration an invitation to
90 to Union next Friday and Satur-
day.
Arthur Simril shot Giles Darwin last
Sunday night. Both are Negroes.
The shooting occurred in a cabin on
West Madison street. 1t was about
Darwin's sister, and with malice afore.
thought. Simril placed his pistol to
Darwin's stomach and fired. The
powder burned Darwin's body and the
bullet went through to the small of the
back, from which it was cut next day
by DR.. Walker. After the shooting
Simril ran away, and has not since
been captured. From the first OAR
wins condition appeared critical. Al
though the course of the bullet could
not be definitely traced, there was
every reason to believe that neces-
sarily fatal wound had been inflicted.
The wounded man was still alive yes
terday morning, however, and was
apparently resting in comparative
comfort.
The town has just passed through
the travail of selecting another mu-
nicipal council. The formality of vot'
ing for the same had not been complet-
ed when THE ENQUIRER went to press.
Within short time-in fact it is fair TO
say since last Friday-there has been
a most energetic campaign. Pursuant
to the call of the intendant, mass
meeting was held in the court house
last Friday night "for the purpose of
hearing the report of the retiring coun.
cil." People generally had gone to
the meeting with the expectation that
nominations would be made. In fact,

The Wheat Market.
The Chicago wheat market was
quoted on Monday as follows: "July
opened &c under Saturday at 66s to J
sold to 66s@2, but eased off to 663c
where the market steadied. Cash peo
pie reported better export inquiry
The opening reduction was on the rains
of the northwest over Sunday and the
lack of speculative interest.
Pretty Badly Involved.
n developes that the affairs of the
Commercial and Farmers bank OF
Rock Hill, are much more hopelessly
involved than there was at first rea.
son to believe. Creditors have been
notified that the first dividend will in.
clude only II per cent. of the amount
due. There are other assets; but the
outlook is that it will be sometime
before they can be realized upon.
The Free Delivery Arrangement.
The new free delivery system along
star routes goes into effect on July 1.
People who expect to avail them
selves of the convenience should put
up mail boxes without further delay.
1t is also necessary that they notify the
postmaster at the nearest Office to de-
liver their mail to the mail rider This
notice must be in writing and may ap-
ply to either letters or papers, or both,
as may be desired.
Scarcity of Pease.
There is a remarkable scarcity of
cow pease this year, amounting almost
to a famine. Last year number of
local dealers had large supplies; but

- Dispatches of Sunday indicate that
congress would probably adjourn to-
day, wednesday, and if not today,
then certainly tomorrow. The only
thing that was expected to occasion
delay was the armor plate amendment
to the naval appropriation bill, and it
was thought probable that this could
be satisfactorily arranged. The sem
ators and representatives are generally
anxious to get home to look after their
political fences.

- Realizing the impossibility of Sc

Morgan, chairman of the committee
on inter-oceanic canal, on last Satur'
day, requested that the so-called Hep
burn Nicaragua canal bill be made the
special order for consideration at 2 p.

Monday of the next session. The re-
quest was agreed to.

on account of the unfavorable seasons
sales were quite slow and considera-
BILE portion of the stocks on hand be-
came worthless. The crop of pease
raised in this section was comparative
y small, and this year most of the seed
pease are being brought from quite a
distance. Retail prices are now rang
ing from S1.25 up, with a prospect
of going higher than lower.
Threw Eggs at Him.
From the story of travelling man
who was in Shelby last Saturday, the
tar heels seem to be considerably
stirred up over the white supremacy
movement now in progress in the
state. In Shelby everybody is in ia.
vor of the proposed constitutional
amendment. On Saturday, white
Republican speaker from the eastern
part of the state undertook to argue
the other side. He was not listened
to with the closest attention.; but
when he got to the depot to take his
departure, there was quite crowd of
white Democrats on hand and they
had eggs. The fellow was neatly
dressed in black Prince Albert coat,
high hat, white necktie and other
garments to match. After the egg
shower he was most pitiable looking
object.
County Executive Committee.
Within few days more, Chairman
Brice expects to call a meeting Of the
York County Democratic Executive
committe for the purpose of fixing as
sessments on the various candidates,
arranging the schedules of the county
meetings, and attending to such other
business as may came up. Speaking
the other day of the action of the state
Executive committee in assessing can
didates for the house and senate,
Chairman Brice was not disposed to
acquiesce. He says it is the county
COMMITTEE that determines the Democ-
racy of county candidates and that
furnishes the tickets for them, and
that the state committee has nothing
to do with their candidates. So far as
York is concerned, he says that the
state committee will not get cent
from candidates for the house and SEN
ate.
Made It In Safety.
Charlotte Observer, Sunday A few
minutes before the local train on the
Southern railway arrived from the
north last night, the chief of police
received telegram from Mr.. w. A.
Earnhardt, of Salisbury, asking him
to loo<ou for young couple-Cicero
Heilig and Katie Earnhardt- and ar
rest them, as they were eloping to
South Carolina. Two of the swiftest
men on the force were dispatched to
the depot but before they arrived the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta train
had pulled out, and with it., presuma-
bly,, the young people whom Mr..
Earnhardt wanted arrested. At all
events they did not stop over in Char
lotte. The police think that Mr..
Heilig and Miss Earnhardt succeeded
in getting across the line to Rock Hill,
and if that was the case it may be
safety inferred that they are married,
as Rock Hill is known to be hospita-
BILE town for eloping couples.

The shape is SO easy and so pretty

the purpose il becomes a neat and tidy
as well as dressy AFFAIR. In the Illus
tratiOn the dress at the left is made OF
figured French flannel. and the color Is
green on mode, a combination extreme
ly artistic. There are white stripes
along the design. The same shape was
made in a pretty pale old rose and
green challie, and around the bottom
like the other, there was n fiounce or
tucked silk null edged with lace. The
sack was quite long one and sim
ply belted in with u ribbon to match.

ed off with lace as they are they are
exceptionally pleasing.
The other dress Is also OF fine French
flannel. which is a very popular mate
rial for all sorts OF things, chief among
them being the shirt waists. This
dress is cut in one piece from top 10
bottom. and the lining is fitted. The
surplus fullness is laid in close folds
and tackled and brought 10 the center
of the back and there held under belt
OF rich black satin ribbon. The pre-
vailing color was blue. with some pale
pink flowers with their soft green fOli-

is set along the edge just inside SO that

This was Of black velvet. and so were
the cuffs. while the belt ribbon was of
satin. The ribbon belt seemed To hold

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-02-20

rondon, Feb. 2o.-Whatever good
news may have been received from the
front it is being carefully guarded. In
spite OF the queens announcement TO
the Fourth Battalion of the Lincoln
shire militia this morning, prior TO her
departure from Osborne house TO
Windsor that good news had been re-
ceived today from the seat of war. the
war office officials solemnly averred
that they had received no news up to
2:30 d. m. Unofiicially IL was rumored
that Gen Kitchener had brought Gen.
Cronje to a standstill, and had engaged
him, and that the war office is now
only awaiting the result of the battle.
This, though plausible, may, however
be premature. In any case, the confl-
dent hope that Gen. Cronje has been
cut off from Bloemfontein continues to
prevail in London, especially in view OF
detailed dispatches saying that the
free staters when they saw the extent
OF the British forces, were in favor OF
surrendering.
