Americans Evacuate.

Pekin, May 10.-The Americans
have evacuated all the districts under
their control with the exception of
the Forbidden City, which they will
occupy until orders to the contrary
are received from Washington. It
would be impossible to turn over the
American districts to the Chinese,
who certainly would not be allowed
to keep them independently, General
Chafee, to prevent chaos, notified
Count Waldersee a week ago that he
would evacuate today the portions
adjoining the British assigned them,
and the remainder to the Germans.
The departure Of the troops for
Manila has been delayed ten days,
owing to the Indiana being quaran-
tined at Nsgasaki because OF a case
of small pox on board. The Ameri-'
can soldiers here have been vac
cinated.

Mr.. W. j. McCartba visited his
home in the Black creek ssction last
week and thence be went to Colum-
bia and taken in the re union.
Hon. E. L AsbilI, one of Lexing-
ton county's rising young men, was
in town last Friday and renewed his
pleasant relations with the Dispatch.
He has large and lucrative practice
and his reputation as an able and
eloquent lawyer is not confined to
Leesville, his home, but is extending
throughout this and adjoining
counties.
Mr.. J. W. D-eher, the champion
fisherman of lower Saluda and one of
the Forks noble and cleverest citizens,
was in town yesterday. He returned
home disappointed from the fact that
circumstances would not permit this
editor to join him in a camp fish on
the Edisto previously arranged.
Later you may imagine you see the
water lower as the jack and trout
are pulled out.
CDR. Blue Mountain Joe" is the
most enthusiastic Confederate Vet
eran who attended the reunion in
Columbia. He was wined and d;ned
to such an extent that he really didn't
recognize the notes of the cornet
from the sound of the fox horn and
while he thought the stars of a gene
raj shone from his coat collar the
stripes of a private ran down his
breeches leg.
Mr.. Justice Eugene B. Gary at
chambers in Columbia on Tuesday
heard hsheas corpus proceedings in
the case entitled ex parte Mrs. Alice
E. Jefcoat in re Joel E. Jefcoat, an
infant, the petitioner prayed for
writ of habeas corpus to deliver her
child from custody of Calvin A. Jef
coat unto her care and protection.
Mr.. T. c. Sturkie appeared for the
petitioner and Mr.. Andrew Crawford

Former Clerk of the Court. H. A.
Spann, of Leesville, stopped over on
bis return home from Columbia
Friday on business and pleasure
visit to his old friends here. He is
devoted to his home and farm and
will shortley graduate as No. 1
farmer. His prospects for large
harvest are bright as his crops are
growing nicely and there is no grass
in his fields, while his fine fruit pros
poets make "a feller's mouth water"
One of our farmers who resides
near here thought he could get a
better price for his cotton in Colum-
bia than he could get here, so last
Frliay he took two bales there. At
first he was offered only 5 cents for
it but finally succeeded in getting a
bid of 6 cents. He told the buyer
that lie could get 7 cents for it at
Lexington. The buyer laughed and
said he would give him a fine buggy
if he could get 7 cents for that class
of cotton. He hauled the cotton
back and sold it to Mr.. ". P. Roof
for Il cents. Now the farmer has
the laugh on the Columbia buyer and
demands his buggy.

He HAD A CLOSE CALL.
James Kirkwood Buried in Trench
in Forest Court in which He
Was Working.

James Kirkwood, of Hickory street,
a laborer, employed on a small sewer
being constructed on Forest court by
Gunster & Forsyth, had about as mar
row an escape from death yesterday
morning us it is possible for a man to
have.
The sewer is being connected between
Spruce and Linden streets, and the
trench had reached depth of ten feet
yesterday morning. Three men, John
Langan. James Donahoe and Kirk
wood, were at work at the bottom,
about . o'clock, when the eastcrly side
of the trench began to work.
Langan and Donahoe noticed this
and hastened to get out, yelling to
kirkwood at the same time. The lat
ter started TO run to safety, but he
was too late and was completely buried
by the earth which came falling down.
Langan and Donahoe. who were not
caught by the fall, looked around for
Kirkwood, but could see naught of
him. They yelled for assistance and,
Fastening back 10 the place where he
was last seen, began to furiously tear
away at the earth.
They found Kirkwood two feet under
the earth, still conscious but beginning
to breathe heavily. He had been COM
pletely covered by the earth for over "A
minute. He was hastily dug out and
was removed to his home, where he
was attended by DR.. OMalley.
The doctor said last night that his
injuries consisted almost entirely of
severe bruises, and that there was
every reason to believe that he would
recover.

I'VE. the jury. do say we find that
Eddie Doyle came to his death by be-
ing struck by locomotive on the Della

Yesterday opened the sixth week of
The Tribune's Educational Contest
and was remarkable for the number
OF points scored by out-of-town con-
testants. Garfield Anderson, of Car
bondale brought in fourteen and came
very near capturing third place from
William Miles. of Hyde Park. but the
latter still leads him by eleven
points, bringing in sixteen points
near the close of the day. Miss Vida
Pedrick, of Clark's Summit and
Frank kcmmerer, of Factoryvillc,
advance one place each, and appear in
sixth and eighth places respectively.
Mr.. Lewis made a good return and
materially strengthened his position.
This morning The Tribune has
divided the table showing the "Stand-
ing Of Contestants" into two parts.
showing the first eight which would
receive the special rewards if this
was the closing day The other table
gives the standing of the other con-
testants and shows what a narrow
margin of points divides them from
the leaders. OF course, the final
standing on August 81, eleven weeks
hence. will not be as it appears to-
day, but which of the aspiring young
people in the second table will he
in the first on that day? And which
in the first table will be obliged to
drop below?
The first eight contestants should
make extra efforts to keep their names
in ''rable No. j." as they can rest as
sured there are several dark horses"
just below the line that will work
hard to jump over into the coveted
liat of eight. and some of them are
sure to do so.
Those who are contemplating enter
ing the contest should notice how
easy it would be to get in among the
first eight. Four yearly subscribers,
counting twelve points each, would
secure place in the first table, and
five would take sixth place. There is
a great opportunity for some one right
here i'm the central portion of the city,
which Mr. Lewis has thus far had
practically all to himself. There is
not another contestant in the whole
list residing in this section of the
city

TO MEET SUPT. CLARKE.
Lackawanna Telegraphers Have
Grievances They Want to Dis
cuss with Him.

Another visit of the general griev-
ancc committee OF the telcGraphers of
the Lackawanna system was expected
at the Scranton offices, yesterday. but
the continued absence from the city of
General superintendent r. II. Clarke
made it necessary to again postpone
the committees coming.
When the committee was here last
week. Mr. Poorc, private secretary to
Superintendent Clarke, stated that as
soon as Mr.. Clarke returned the re-
quest for an interview will be laid be-
fore him, and that without question it
would be granted Mr.. Poore said he
would send notice of the time for the
conference to tho committees chair
man, f. G. Wolcott, of Campbells. N.
Y. 1t was thought at that time that
Superintendent Clarke would he back
in Scranton yesterday, but he could
not be. and ii could not be stated posi-
lively when he would return, so the
time for the conference is as yet in
definite.
~. NJ. Pierson, of st. Louis. first vice
president of the Order of Railroad Tel
ecraphers of North America, who was
here with the committee last week, and
who went away Friday night, returned
yesterday, to be on hand if the con-
ference took place. He attended a
regular meeting of the Scranton divi-
sion, No. 81, Order Railroad Telegraph
crs, at Raub's hall last night. This
division is composed of the Delaware
and Hudson and ontario and Western
operators. 1t was given out from the
meeting that nothing but routine mat
ters would he considered.
The particular grievance which the
Lackawanna men have in hand is the
discharge of three of the operators in
the BinShamton office. The discharged
men want an opportunity of proving
themselves Guiltless of the charges
made against them.
The committee will also endeavor to
have superintendent Clarke enter into
an agreement relative to shorter hours,
and the regulation of employing and
promoting operators,
