1t will be remembered that just
prior to anu during the Neal investi-
CATION the air was thick with rumors
detrimental to the character of Col.
". A. Neal, late Superintendent Of
the State Penitentiary. 1t was
openly charged that he was a de-
~falter, in an amount ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 and. bis political
enemies, that is men not of his house
hold Of faith in politics, spared not his
character, but bounded him with
more tenacity of purpose than a dog
does a deer. Every little incident was
magni6ed into a mountain. Even
men were brought forward to prove
that in instances corn that was
gathered did not hold out and the
loss was unaccounted for but; this, as
in many other similar charges dill, fell
through when it was developed that
the corn was never measured, but
the "pile" was estimated at so many
bushels, and the foreman of a farm
testified that he told the directors at
the time that the "pile" would not
pan out the ESTIMATED" number of
bushels.
It would also doubtless be remem-
bered that Col. Neal all along claim
ed that he was due the State only
about $4,000, as Superintendent of
the Penitentisry, and that he was
ready to pay this amount over to the
State Treasurer at any time, which
Was refused, no doubt properly dur
ing the progress of the investigation.
After one of the most thorough,
searching and partial Investigations
against the accused, the committee,
on the authority Of Attorney General
Bellinger, found Cvl. Meals short
age, if shortage it was, only
amounted to S2,S12.41, which has
been paid into the State Treasury
and the State of South Carolina has
not lost one red cent by Col. Neal.

YOU that the lives of every living person
on a train frequently depend on the prompt

LEGISLATURE in Session.

The General Assembly OF the
State # SJuth C.rolins met in an
nual session in Columbia yesterday.
In the House the oply matters of
public interest transacted was tie
reading Of the Governors message
and providing for a commission to
investigate the State disrenslry
affairs.
The death of the late Governor
Ellelbe was officially announced in
Senate by Lieutenant Governor Scar
borough as follows:
"Since the last meeting of this
honorable body the chief executive
has been called away and the pre-
siding officer Of this body has been
called upon to assume the high func-
tions of Governor of the sovereign
State of South C.rolina, which We
all love. By virtue Ct your kindness
in eli citing me president pro tenn I
have been called upon to assume the
office of Lieutenant Governor, which
I will endeavor to fill to the best of
my ability
Ex-Governor John G. Sheppard
was then elected President pro TEN
of the Senate.
Senator Appel introduced his bill
providing for the submission to the
people Of a vote upon the question Of
dispensary, prohibition or high
license. The bill is the same which
was published in The State a short
while ago and is very similar to the
measure which Senator Applet advo-
Gated at the last session.
The reading of the Governors
message and providing for a lint
commission to investigate the affairs
Of the State dispensary were the
only other measure of public in
~terestes acted upon.

A DEAD GAME SPORT.
That's the Way an Applicant for
Aid Described Himself.

Mrs. DugSan, agent for the Associ-
ated Charities, yesterday had an odd
caller in the shape of rather dilapi-
dated looking individual who gave as
his name Martinus Pierendo. and said
he came from Allegheny. He gently
denied the fact that this might be an
alias and accounted for the popularity
Of his name by saying that his father
was a Frcnchman.
His right leg was fractured at the
knee, and he applied to the poor board
for aid. Mrs. Duggan gave him let
ter to the Lackawanna hospital author
tiles and he took himself there for
trea tment.
Although Of very ragged and COM
mon appearance. still Mr.. PierendO
used the most elegant language. 81
deeply regret. madam" was one of his
remarks to Mrs. Duggan, that you
question my vcracity."
To a Tribune man he remarked slyly:
II am known throughout this entire
country from California to Maine as a
dead-game sporting man." He then
gave a list of his qualifications Ivy
quoting what he ella imed to be an en-
tract from an Elmira paper, which de-
scribed his appearance on a race track
in the capacity of a tout.
1T was while shipping some horses
to a certain place that one of the ami
mails kicked me, breaking my knee
cap" was the way he accounted 70,
his accident. He travels on crutchcs.
