GOOD BEAN STORY.
Farmer Wright Delivers Six Hundred and
One Gallons to One Darlington
Store in One Month.
GREW THEM IN CORN FIELD.

Mr.. Chas. d. Wright and wife, of
Richland, were in Darlington Tues
day morning on one of their period
ical visits and brought with them a
quantity of fresh farm products as
is their custom. They furnish to the
people of Darlington many things
that farmers have found to grow
easily in their fields and to find
ready sale among the thrifty and
prosperous miners of Darlington
and other coal mining towns of
Hopkins County. But beans this
year was their long SUIT. Mr..
Wright says they have delivered
since August 9th 6lO gallons of
string beans to the st. Bernard gen.
eral store. These beans he says
have been measured by Mr., Theo.
Watts, of that store. AS many as
Sc gallons were delivered at one
time and the bean market was fresh
and smiling the next morning
ready for more beans.
One beauty of this bean story is
that they were grown in the confield
and that good yield of corn was
grown on the same ground. Other
products were also sold here daily
during the summer but beans was
the most notable item in so short a
space of time.
While the union men were trying
hardest to force the miners of Hop
kins County into idleness the min
ers of Darlington were working full
time and contentedly munching Mr..
Wright's beans. r

DEFIANCE TO SOLDIERS.
Shots Fired in the Air by Union Men Who
Visited Carbondale.
AMBUsCADE O.. EMPIRE MINERS.
One Miner Shot in the Leg-About Fifty
Shots Fired.

AT the Carbondale mines, nine
miles from here, on Tuesday
morning, the citizens and the
soldiers stationed there were
startled by the firing of from 15
to 25 shots at a time when the
presence of troops was expected
to be a guarantee of good order.
The detachment of state troops,
under command of Capt. Thomas
of Bowling Green, which was
sent to Carbondale Sunday, be-
cause of Saturdays attack, was
on duty. When the shots were
heard the soldiers turned out in
fighting trim. 1t was found at
Boxtown that several men, who
had boarded the train which
came up the spur track to the
mines with empty cars, had fired
into the air. This track, on
which a bridge was recently
burned, leaves the main line OF
the l. G. near Boxtown, which is

the union headquarters in that
section or the county. AS this
train was returning from the
mines three men took out their
revolvers and fired them into the
air. Both soldiers and citizens
were very indignant at this act
of defiance by a lawless element.
Capt. Thomas went to Madis-
onville after the shooting to re-
port to Adjutant General Muir
ray. News has been given out
of an ambuscade at the Empire
Coal Company's mine, in Chris
tian county, near here Monday
afternoon as the men were going
home from work.
About five o'clock the men
went in bunches strung along
and were fired upon from ground
covered with bushes, about sew
enty-five yards distant. Manager
Rutland says not less than fifty,
and perhaps more, shots were
fired. One of the miners was
shot ill the leg by Il Winchester
bullet. The men returned to the
works and secured guns, then
went home unmolested. The
point from which some of the
shots were fired was located, and
about thirty-five rifle shells of 3S
calibre and larger were picked
up. 1t is reported the authori-
ties are working on clue that
may prove good in this case.

ably and he was compelled to lay off
few days.

been working nights at Darlington
for the past two months, has re-
signed.
1t is reported that the operator at
Brownsville, Tenn, was drugged a
short time since by some one putting
extract de corn in the water, without
his knowledge or consent. He tried
to explain to the chief dispatcher

derson was out of service few days
last week, and trains had to flag

change on the Henderson division.
Conductor Joe Robertson, one of
the most popular conductors on the

received on the st. Louis division.
Dispatcher Cozatt is beginning to

phis line soon.
The work on Bakers hill is about
completed, and the extra telegraph
office there has been discontinued.
Coal trains on the st. Louis divis-
ion pull 115 empty gons. This is
about sixty more than the limit for

Dollars of Pure silver,

Dollars of Pure silver.
City of Mexico, June 1S.-A Mexican
detective has in a brilliant manner Sc
cured the arrest of Jose Frias, one of the
gang which has been engaged in counter
feiting American dollars. The police
now know this business of counterfeiting
American dollars has beenS very extern
sive one. One of the members of the
band has been travelling in the interior
states disguised as a tourist, business
man and frontier merchant. Speaking
Spanish with marked English accent he
made the acquaintance Of merchants and
bankers and Offered them American silver
dollars at a premium of from 60 to 80
per cent, usually at hgure
below that indicated by the
current rate of exchange. The dol
lars were well executed, the milling being
good and the lettering and the American
eagle were perfect. All bear date of the
year 1890 and all have been treated to a
chemical bath which gives them the ap-
pearance of money long in circulation
Many brokers, bakers and business men
received the dollars in good faith. On
shipping them to the United States how
ever they were advised that the dollars
were counterfeit.
Frias and one Of his associates have
been employed in the mint in this city
and also in mints OF Guanajuato and Ia
tazecas. The dollars are made of pure sill
yer according to the standard American
mnts.
Col. Villegas. chief of police Of this city,
is investigating the crime, which takes on

ed Mrs. Mckinley out Of danger and
convalescing He said there may, of
course, be a recurrence of her trouble,
but for the present the danger is past.
Dr. Johnston said that the blood infsc-
ton had disappeared entirely.
Dr. Rixey, although evidently encour-
aged by the Improvement in Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition, was somewhat more
conservative in his statement than DR.,
Johnson. He thought it scarcely safe to
say that she is entirely out of danger,
as her extreme weakness might precipi-
tate a relapse. but her condition was
quite satisfactory. her Improvement be-

tinuance.

Colleagues Dramatically Pro-

Prisoner and Insists That the State
Has Proven Its Charge-ArGument
VIII BE Concluded To-day.
Buffalo, N. Y, June 1S.-The final di-
rect verbal plea for another chance be-
fore jury for Roland B. Molineux the
alleged poisoner of Mrs. Katherine j.
Adams and Henry G. Barnet. and the
first half of the arraignment of the peo-
pie in resistance were heard by the court
of appeals to-day. John G.. Milburn, rep
resenting Molneux, spoke nearly two
hours and was succeeded by ex-United
States Senator David B. Hin, whose ar
gument in opposition lasted until court
arose at O'clock. Mr.. Hill will close by
noon tomorrow and with a brief reply
for the appellant, the case will be sub
mitted to the court.
1t was a day of oratory, stirred at
times to the thrilling point with touches
of invective. Mr. NIilburn's close was

the policy throughout the trial of Re
corder Goff. He charged the latter with
favoritism toward Assistant District At
torney Osborne, whose method he also
questioned, and prejudice against Attor-
ney Barlow S. Weeks.
Senator Hill was equally vigorous.
After explaining his connection with the
appeal he reviewed the case and argued
guilt of the defendant. He strongly de-
Tended the course of Recorder Goff and
Assistant District Attorney Osborne and
the theory and policy of the prosecution.
Starting with the theories of the people
as to the killing of Mrs. Adams and Bar
net. he followed them through their lines
of reasoning, and contended for their sta
bility and acceptance. He insisted that
the people had the right to
show how Barnet died, and
insisted that a complet reconcilia-
ton of the two cases was possible He
avowed that the prosecution was within
it's rights in showing the relations of
Molineux and his wife prior to their mar
riage, and asserted that it, was the peo-
pie who had suffered when the recorder
ordered the evidence stricken out he said
Mrs Molineux had called her marriage a
romance; he called it tragedy.
Mr. Hill took up successfully the va
rious mysterious letters written under the
names of Cornish and Barnet and force
fully adjusting them in their places in
the theory of the prosecution, dramatic
ally proclaimed the alleged guilt of the
prisoner and insisted that the state had
conclusively proved it's charge. He de-
Tended Harry Cornish against suspicion
or insinuation and asserted the reliability

Reviewing the trouble at the Kniek-
erbocker Club and connecting with it
Cornishs denuuciation of Molineux and
the Harpster incident, Mr.. Hill proclaim

kill Cornish end then pictured jealousy
as the motive in the Barnet case. He pro-
nounced the weight of evidence against
the accused as overwhelming and said
that no defense had been made because
none was possible Mr.. Hill did not touch
