Willy GOVERNORS BLUFF
Saved the City of Tumaco From
Capture by Colombian Rebels.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. 2S.-From re-
ports brought by the Hamburg steamer
Volumnia, it appears that the arrival of
the vessel at Tumaco, Colombia, where
she touched on the way up, had the eff
feet of saving the place from capture by
Colombian rebels. The latter had de-
manded the surrender Of the town and
the governor was at his wits eEd. Just
then the Volumnia was sighted. The
willy governor saw his chance to make q
bluff. So he sent defiant message to
the revolutionists and told them that
the steamer off port was bringing 500
government troops. The trick succeed
ed and the rebels abandoned their pur-
pose to capture Tumaco.

A Washington County Boy.

The Bostonians sang "Robin Hood"
at the National yesterday afternoon be-
fore q very large audience. 1t was
popular-priced matinee, and though
the absence of Mr.. Macdonald and
and Miss Bertram from the cast was
overlooked, it was a disappointment to
many. Mr.. Macdonald took rest in
order to give young Washington boy,
Mr.. Arthur T. Earnest, q chance at the
role of Little John. Mr.. Earnest has
attained an excellent reputation during
the past few years for his splendid work
with amateur organizations. This is
his first season with the Bostonians,
and yesterday was his first opportunity
in good role. A great number of his
friends saw that he received q gener-
GUS welcome, and as his performance
was a very creditable one, the applause
was sincere, as we'll as kind. His voice
is strong, deep barytone, and he han
dies it we'll. He received two encores
after the "Brown October Ale" song.
When he acquires an easier stage pres
ence, something possible only in time,
he ought to make as excellent an i'm
preston professionally as he already
has done locally in amateur work.

Mr.. Crowder,s Death.

The Spartanbmg, S. c., newspapers
speak in the highest terms of the late
L. +, Crowder, and THE GOMEZ regrets
that it has not the room to reproduce
the lengthy notices given. To show
how he has succeeded since he left
here we take the following extract from
the notice published in the Semi Week
ly Herald:
His life is only the illustration of
pluck, industry and thrift which tri.
umph over unsurmountable objects.
He began his business career first bv
elerking in dry goods store in Wades-
Doro, N. o., ut Il very small salary.
Next he we went TO Charlotte. N, g..
and engaged as salesman in dry goods
store From that city he went to John
son City, Tenn. and with q man named
Bruner established a dry goods and
notion store under the firm name of II.
F. Crowder Il Co. He had only a work.
ing interest in the business, but con-
Quoted the store for three years. at the
end OF which time he sold out to Mr..
Bruner. Immediately afterwards
years ago-he came to Spartanburg
with scarcely a dollar, and started the
Bee HlYe, notion and department
store. Q, M. Burns, of Wadesboro. N.
C,,w0s his partner and financial hacker
i'll his venture.
Mr.. Crowder struck the right town at
the right time. After continuing in
partnership with Mr.. Burns for two
years, he purchased the latter's inter.
est and for the past three years has in
diyidually conducted the Bee Hive in
the big Carson building on East Main
street, occupying three floors.
His help embraced numbered oung
men and ladies-26 in all, He was ex-
ceedingly popular with his employees,
and was cOnsiderate and kind to them.
Nearly three years ago Mr.. Crowder
married Miss Cornelia Chandler, the
daughter of Judge Chandler, of John
son City, Tenn.
He has conducted the largest notion
and department store in Spartanburg,
and in successful manner. Coming
to this city five years ago, with no mon
ey and only hacker, he died worth at
least $50, 600, and also carried life in
surance policy for $4,000
He had been suffering from the can
Ger for quite time past. About year
ago an operation was performed, which
afforded him temporary relief; but tho
seeds of the dread and fatal disease
were too deeply sown to be entirely re-
moved.
His death is a surprise to all, as he
was at his place of business engaged
actively in all matters concerning his
interest up to Wednesday night.
He will be missed in Spartanburg. in
which city he illustrated the possibili-
ties of young business man.
