Two 0utrages on the Same Night.

GREENVIILE, August 3.-Just outside
the corporate limits of the city, on the
farm of Benjamin Wootcn, at o'clock
this morning, an unknown man gained
entrance to Mr.. Wootcn's house and got
into the sleeping room of his grand

and he dropped the match and caught
Mrs. Brown by the throat and chokcd
her, at the same time striking her twice
in the face with his fist. The other two
women awakcd and rushed TO the
door, screaming for assistance. Other
members of the family awokc and the
assailant threw Mrs. Brown back on Tie
bed in an unconscious condition and
made his escape through the window.
Mrs. Brown is in n delicate state Of
health. TO day She is suffering from ner-
vouS prostration and from the terrible
blows on her face given by the brute

G. Walt Whitman.

COLUMBIA, 5. o., August d. For four
consecutive campaigns G. Walter Whit
man has been a candidate for Governor
in this State. Until ton years ago Whit
man was preacher, but since then he
has been studying politics. Ho is now
making the contest under circumstances
thai arc peculiarly distressing to others
in tho campaign party and requiring
great fortitudo on tho part of tho candi-
date. -Four years ago Whitman received
about 2,0C0 votes in a total of $4,000.
Two years later his vote was 240. This
year it will DO oven less, and yet Mr..
Whitman is as absolutely confident of
election as man can DO. Some time
ago he called at the State House, visited
somo of tho offices and announcing in a
most serious manner that expecting to
bo associated with the officers AZ their
chief, he desired to become moro ac-
quainted.
1t was some time aftcr tho opening of
the campaign beforo Mr. Whitman could
pay the entrance foe cxactcd by the State
Executive Committee, and hc is now
accompanying tho party under circum-
stances painful to tho other members,
who know that hc often speaks whom tho
pangs of hunger are severe and when
his body has not rested in a bed.
Recently Whitman arrived at a station
from which the other candidates took
carriages to the place of speaking,
twelve miles distant. He could not go
in carriage, and with only glass Of
milk for breakfast, ho pumped an ola
made his speech and pumped back. He
would not accept tho hospitality of
others and was only persuaded to break
his fast that evening OH a watermelon.
lie ofton sleeps in chairs.
Mr.. Whitman is the best read man
and by far the most versatile speaker in
the campaign. He is ffty-onc years old
His chief aim is to tear down colleges
and build up public schools.
There arc other features Of tho cam
paign that are not 80 painful. Captain
j. A. jennings, candidate for treasurer,
stated in a speech that he had one record
no other candidate could touch and it
was his chief recommendation had
lived with the same woman for forty
years and they had forty children. The
crowd chcered and told jennings he
would got their votes. DR.. Zimmerman
the incumbent stated that he had known
a Georgian who had four wives and
forty.two children. Mr.. Jennings latel
said the forty was Il slip of tho tongue
llo meant fourteen childron.
enc candidate for Lieutenant Gov
crnor declared that if elected he would
not hire ''niggers" at 50 a day to wash
out spittoons in the Senate when worthy
white men would be glad of tho job. His
competitor got the crowd by rctorting
that ho would not let white man dC
such an Office for him.
There are thirty candidates who speak
every day and despite tho time limits
against which all protest, the meetings
last seven hours. Whiskey is discussed

Luck OF Other |ai,9ns,

Tho story of flyo fishormon,
AS told lest weak by rhymor'e per.
Should warn somo Waltons not to roam,
But 90 thoir angling nearer home.
On hot day Of last July
Seven Waltons went their luck to try,
In waters not four miles away,
And for their angling, got their pay.
All felt possessed of Walton skill,
And eager drove to Brewers mill,
Intent on angling from tho dam
Tho tlnny Tribes that in it swan.
Whom there, alas! old fiery Sol
Made 1t too hot to fish at all,
And thon a plan was quickly laid
TO try pond mid forest shade.
Their pilot Nash, of fishing fond,
Soon led thom to tho shady pond,
Where baited hooks they set just right,
And waitod for tho fish to bite.
While, watching, Mayhow, with his gun,
Slaughtered two frogs, and had his fun,
But sound of gun, with noise 80 great,
Made fish too shy to take tho bait.
He thought, perhaps, aside from jokes,
That shooting frogs would end base
croaks,
While living they might not bo mum,
But hint in song of "bully rumW
But fortune smiled, and all was still,
{When Mayhew found no frogs to kill;)
Tho anglers all-Oh, what sight!
In silence watched, to note bite.
They waited long, with patient pluck,
Persuaded full, they'd be in luck,
And sure enough, their luck began

That each might know his proper catch

A LIVELY SCRAP
Between Candidates Gary and Patterson a
Laurens Hand Primary.

LAURENs, S. c., August A. Mcssrs.
Gary and Patterson shook their fling crs
in each others faces for half minute
and ended in brief but lively "mix up"
to what appeared tho intense enjoyment
of six hundred Iaurcns voters and fifty
ladies, the latter occupying choice seats
Immediately in front of the stand.
Mr.. Patterson has been daily reading
make the impression that Mr.. Gary
favored local option as to high license in
his Charleston speech and the inference
from his stump suggestion was that Mr..
Gary has tackled since leaving Charles
ton. Gary rcsents the mputation that he
took such position in Charleston.
Gary was the last of tho gubcrnatolial
speakers this afternoon and instantly
launched into a vigorous reply to Pattcr
sons remarks. He related his version
Of tho Charleston incident and limited
him.
Patterson rose, faced his man and re-
marked that ho would explain.
Gary said he wished no explanation
and Patterson sai,. tall the candidates
would bear out his statement.
Meanwhile the men were facing and
their fingers were pointing bclligcrcntly.
Gary inquired:
"Do you deny what say is truc?n
Patterson 81 do deny It,"
Gary remarked that Patterson told an
untruth, but probably did not use tho
term "liar."
Pattcrson's right shot out with a devil.

was instantaneous.
There was a clinch and jabbing and
punching, while tho ladies contemplated
fainting.
1t all looked like Punch and Judy
show.
Lieutenant Colonel James Tillman,
Chairman Smith, ShcriH McCrcary and
others quickly untanglcd the scrappcrs
and held them far apart.
Men wore standing up yelling mclodi-
ously.
a Laurcns cop arrived and extracted
"plunks" from each of the disordcrlies.
Gary exhibited an inch cut on the left
check bone, and Patterson has n small
shamrock engraved on his upper lip.
After the meeting both gontlcmcn
shook hands and the hatchot was buried.
They express great regrets for the occur
renee.
Senator Tillman spoke last, late in the
afternoon. He repeated that there was
an alliance or concert of action between
the barkccpcrs and the ministers and
took hand primary, which showed
nearly the whole audience i'm favor of the
dispcnsary. OF course there were many
who did not vote, but the great majority
lifted their hands.
IIoyt was intcrrogatcd, but responded
well and made a good impression.
McSwocnoy had the best reception.

bay at seven o'clock this morning.
Twenty people were aboard, and it is
feared all were lost. The boat was valued
at 100000, equipped with four gasoline
engines, two large tanks aboard. 1t is
probable that it had five thousand gal
long of gasoline aboard at tho time Of
the explosion. The best information

GREAT LOSS IN CHINA.
tHE ALLIED FORCES LUSE 200 KILLED
AND WOUNDED.
THE CHINESE ARE ROUTED WITH
Great Loss on Both Sides Unofficial Reports
Give Details oi the Fight.

WASHINGTON, August G.-Dispatchcs
from naval officers at Chico Foo repeat
unofficial but apparently reliable reports
Of extensive hostilitics botween tho al
lied forces and tho Chinese on tho road
botweon Tion Tsin and Pokin. Tho dis
patches indicate that tho roliof column
has started in earnest, and that it is meet
ing with great opposition. Although
tho naval dispatches do not mention tho
presence of American troops in the re-
ported engagement, it is assumed with
tho war department that a part of gon-
eral Chaffoo's small army was on hand
and took an active part in tho affair.
The dispatches follow:
CHEZ Foo, CHINA, August G.-Naviga-
ton Department, Washington: British
officer reports, unofficial, engagement at
Pcitsang Saturday morning, throo to
ono. Allies lost, killed and wounded,
1900, chiefly Russians and Japanese.
Chinese rotroating.
Tho second message is as follows:
CIEE Foo, August G.-Burcau Navi-
cation, Washington: Official report be-
lievod reliable. About 10000 allies
heavily engage Chinese at Piotsang, day
Piotsang is tho first railroad station,
six miles northwest of Ticn Tsin, OH
route to Pokin.
Tho engagement lasted sovon an half
honrs and it is beloved in tho Depart
ont that other tho Chinese must have
been heavily ontrcnchod or that there
was an immense horde of them to stub
bornly contest tho advance of 10000
troops. 1t is figured by military OK
ports that n loss of l,200 killed and
wounded on tho part Of tho allies proba-
bly, means a loss of from thrco to six
times as many by the Chinese. 1t it pos
siblo that q blow of this magnitude may
break tho resis .ance of the Chinese to
tho advance of tho foreign column, but
it is possible that thore may he largo
number of places on tho road that have
been ntrenchcd with Wow of falling
back and contesting tho foreign advance,
so as to delay rs long as possible the ar
rival Of the foreigners at Pokin. Unless
the opposition suddenly breaks down tho
experts look for Il desperate engage
ment when tho troops reach the walled
city Of Tung Chow, which is said to be
even more favorably located for purposes
of defense than was Ticn Tsin.
