Charges of Rioting Too Strong For
The Jury.


The charges of rioting preferred
by United States Deputy Marshal
White against Rube Smith, Lige
Henderson, Clay Title. Herb
Williams, Claud Anderson, Troy
Anderson, Ike Reamer and Henry
Trott, for their alleged participa-
tion in Sunday nights affair, were
not sustained by the evidence pro-
duced by the prosecution during
their trial in the Commissioners
court yesterday aud all were ac-
quilted.
Ths action Of the-Federal author
tiles ia taking up the prosecution
resulted in much interest being
manifested in the trial. The con-
sensus of opinion was that it was
case for the city authorities to
dispose of, and the action Of the
Federal authorities caused feel
ing of general resentment.
The precedent was considered
dangerous, aud as consequence
general Satisfaction was evidenced
that the prosecution had failed to
make out case, while general re-
gret was expressed that the entire
bunch had escaped punishment
in the Mayors court.
Their acquittal was looked upon
as victory for the city authorities,
and eliminating the question OF
authority, a severe sentence would
have been considered we'll mer-
tied.
Clay Title wss exonerated from
any participation in the disturb
ance, by the evidence, and his
name was removed from the CON-
plant.
The evidence Of the negro wit.
nesses was fiimsy and in one in
stance suggestive of perjury, and
the serious charge of rioting was
not sustained. The city authori-
ties have expressed their intention
OF using drastic measures 10 stamp

KATY WILL RACE
Through the Indian Territory to
Overcome The Advantages
OF Her Great RIVALS Di-
rect Line to The Twin
Territory.

With the formal opening of the
Miami Alton "cut ofi, ;" on October
18th, the great race against time
for the business Of the twin terri
tories. between the Katy and the
Frisco lines. will begin.
The Frisco management have
decided TO put on through tram
between Kansas City and Oklaho-
ma City Immediately after the
opening of their connecting line.
A meeting OF passenger and OPP
Grating officials was held in st.
Louis this week aud general ar
rangements decided on. Work on
the time card will commence in a
few days.
The Katy has ne direct line to
Oklahoma and reaches that point
over the Choctaw frpn South Nc
Alester.
The reduction in the running
time to Oklahoma. contemplated
by the Frisco management in con-
nection with the "cut of" will
force the Katy to reduce the run
ming time If her fast trains through
TO South McAlester.
The fact that the Katy traverses
the territory TO her connecting
point in almost an air line, simpli
fes the situation that has caused
the officers OF the road much con-
Germ.
Under the new Frisco schedule
il is proposed 20 run train out OF
Kansas City at night that will
make the trip to Oklahoma City In
approximately thirteen hours.
The Santa Fe train which leaves
Kansas City al night doee not reach
Oklahoma City until Is hours and
10 minutes after II pulls out OF the
union depot. The faster train,
leaving Kansas City in the morn
ing, makes the run in exactly four
teen hours. The Rock Island docs
not run into Oklahoma City, but
TO Ell Reno. almost directly west.
The fastest time made is little less
than IA hours. The traia which
leaves Kansas City at 7:45 in the
morning makes this time. The
night train, leaving there at $3.50
O'Clock, consumes IA hours and 50
minutes in making the trip to FL
Reno.
This will iorce the Katy to race
through the territory at tremen-
dous speed to offset the natural
advantages of the other roads.
1t is announced that for the pres
ent through train service to Texas
points will not be inaugurated by
the Frisco. This service will
likely be established about the fret
December or possibly not until the
first Of the year. The date Of the
Inauguration OF through service to
Oklahoma City viii be announced
shortly.

. DEATH OF s. NJ. SCOTT.

Mr.. Samuel NJ Scott died at his
home near Sharon, last Thursday
morning, at SIS o'clock, after linger-
ing illness of several weeks. His death
was due to a complication of disorders
that manifested themselves in the form
Of jaundice.
Mr.. Scott was a native of Chester
county. He was born near the present
site Of Harmony station on the G. C. &,
N. railroad. on Mays. 1880. When he was
years of age his parents took him to
Coates's Tavern, where he resided from
1898 to 1851, in which latter year he
moved to the Blairsville neighborhood,
where he continued up to the time of
his death. He was twice married, the
first time to Miss Mary Frances Sher-
rer, and the second time to Miss Isa-
bella Gilfillen. who with two daugh-
ters, Mrs. J. NJ. White and Miss Nam
ME Scott. survives him. One child was
born as the fruit of the first marriage.
1t died at the age of about one year.
The second marriage took place in 1866

THE GASTONIA MARKET.

The Gastonia Gazette, Of Thursday,
reproduced the article that appeared in
the last issue of THE ENQUIRER on the
subject of the cotton market, and made
this explanation with regard to the al
legged combination on the part Of the
Gastonia mills:
Touching The ENoUIRER's informa-
tion that there has been a combine
among the Gastonia mills, 1t is proper
to say that there can be no truth in
the report. Our mills for a year or two
have not been using the home grown
staple and have not been actively buy
ing. The McAden mills, six miles away,
do spin the native staple, however, and
have in the past bought freely and in
quantities and at prices which entitle
that place to be called the cotton mar
ket Of CASTOR county. Gastonia now
has active buyers, and shortly the big
Loray mills will begin to use native
cotton, so that when the staple Is cor
rectly graded this market will be we'll
prepared to hold it's own with any 9TH
er. On Tuesday at noon the price was
IT'S.
We are satisfied that The Gazette's
explanation is exactly correct, and we
are not surprised either, to learn that
the. Gastonia market, on Tuesday, at
noon, was exactly the same as at York
vile, Rock Hill and Chester markets at
that time.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-10-05

The foundation for the whole build
ing Is complete; but as yet no wall, ex-
cept that which Is to form a portion Of
the dam. Is going up. All along the
bottom Of the power house walls, are
great arched openings through which
the water will waste after 1t has pass
ed over numerous turbine wheels in the
power house.
The power house completed, the next
step will be to tear away the Golfer
dam in which work Is now progressing,
and erect a new Golfer, dam to extend
the balance Of the way across the riv-
er. While the dam Is being completed
on the other side Of the river, the free
water that is now running there, will
be disposed Of through the power house
on this side.
The stone for the construction Of the
power house and other masonry, Is be-
ing taken out Of the bluff only a hun
dred feet away. Steam derricks lift
great blocks out Of the adjoining quar-
ry, and lay them on top Of the wall and
almost in position to be cemented in
place. There are three hosting en-
gines operating within the present linn
its of the Golfer dam. About the works
there are from rs to 100 laborers, and
all are kept pretty busy.
While the work at the dam Is going
on with all practicable speed, heavy
castings, air draft tubes and machinery
Is arriving on the ground. 1t is being
delivered by the railroad at Old Point,
and much Of 1t has already been haul
ed to the river. Some Of the heavier
pieces Of machinery weigh as much as
q, 900 pounds. There are several other
pieces that weigh 11,0OO pounds each,
and quite a number ranging down to
three and four thousands pounds.
AS yet only few pieces of iron work,
such as belong to the foundation Of the
power house, like "I' beams, have
been put into position. When the
whole work Is to be completed depends.
among other things on the future be-
havior Of the river. But even II the
river does behave perfectly, it will be
several months yet before electric pow
er is delivered from this plant. How
ever, it will be big thing when it Is
done. There is no discount on that.
The entire cost is going to be in the
neighborhood of $5oO,OOO. and the de-
livery Of from two to three thousand
horse power in Rock Hill, Fort Mill
and Charlotte will mean much for
| these towns.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Frank Dunlap, young Negro man
who was working for the Catawba
Power company, met with horrible
death last Monday morning while en-
gagged in hauling a heavy casting from
Old Point depot to the river.
The casting weighed 1864 pounds, and
was in such shape that it could not be
hauled on a common wagon In the or
dinary way; but had to be laid on
heavy timbers in such manner as to
allow it to ride free between the front
and hind wheels.
Just after the wagon started, one Of
the timbers snapped, and Dunlap fell
in such a manner as to be caught un-
der the casting, a narrow edge of
which came down on his head and
crashed through. He was killed in
stantly.
An investigation of the accident,
made Immediately afterward, showed
that the casting had been properly
loaded on the wagon, and that no rea-
sonable blame could attach to the peo-
pie having the work in charge.

THE CATAWBA DAM.

can almost inconceivable amount Of
rough work, already done, with an al
most inconceivable amount still to do,"
very properly describes the situation
at the works Of the Catawba Power
company at Neelys ferry.
The dam and the extensive opera
tions in connection with it were, Of
course, among the most interesting
sights to the big crowd of visitors at
that point last Wednesday, and the
public generally will very likely be Gu
rious to know what the whole prospect
looks like.
While there may be considerable sat
isfaction in a personal inspection, 1t
must be confessed that to give COM
prehensive description in condensed
form that would be at all satisfactory
would be difficult and to most people,
a detailed description would be more
or less tiresome.
At the point selected for the dam
site, not only both banks Of the river,
but the channel, is rock lined. The
west bank rises up precipitously dis
tance Of so or go feet, while the east
bank slopes off gradually, reaching
corresponding height at distance of
about a quarter Of mile. The space
occupied by the stream between hanks
is about 400 feet.
Looking down from the rocky bluff
on the west side Of the river, 1t Is easy
to take in the entire progress of the
work at a glance. The dam Is being
constructed in two sections; one on the
west side and the other on the east
side. The works on the east side are
all on dry land as yet, starting some
distance up the hill and progressing
toward the water. There is nothing
more striking about the operations here
than Is to be seen in the building Of an
ordinary stone wall. The works on the
west side present the principal source
of present interest. They are enclosed
in Golfer dam that includes the work
on the power house, and the little spot
Of about quarter Of an acre that has
has been caused by numerous fresh
cts.
The Golfer dam referred to so often in
connection with the work, is merely a
device that permits operations in the
bed Of the river. The space Of about a
quarter Of an acre was enclosed by
driving down pine boards into the mud
and ranging them side by side. The
enclosure completed, the water Is
pumped out, leaving the inside prac-
tically dry.
Within this Golfer dam, the workmen
are now busy erecting the power house.
The base Of the building is Of stone
and will form part of the main dam,
The work is now about 10 or Is feet
high. about 10 feet thick, and, maybe,
$50 feet in length. This, Of course. only
includes the back part of the building.
