editor of the News and Courier, who was
bent upon securing an exhibition for the
Charleston Exposition. col Hemphill,"
says the correspondent said his state
was the. funniest one In all the Union
and that # he had the money he would
like to write book about 1t. Your corre-
spondent assured him that in such a
case he ought to put in photographs of
Tillman and McLaurin as a frontispiece,
they being positively the very funniest
things in all the. State. Col. Hemphlll
agreed to this, saying that the South
Carolina incident OF their resignation and
Canvass was without doubt the very fun
NEST thing In all the annals of American
politics. He went on to say that in the
contest Tillman viii literally wipe Nc
Laurin from the face of the earth. 1t
was amusing to hear a Charleston man
say that, but Col. Hemphill seems to be
more Of "a Tillman than a McLaurin man
at this particular juncture." Which leads
us to observe that Charleston is the very
funniest place in South Carolina and

AGAINST THE BELL COMPANY,
Lineman's Widow Gets Verdict for
$4,000 at Augusta.

Augusta, Ca, June THE DAMAGE
case which has occupied the City Court
for four days was concluded to-day with
a verdict for $4,000 in favor of the plain
tiff against the Bell Telephone Company.
William R. Deloach was employed as
liueman by the telephone company. One
afternoon last summer, in the presence,
of many people OH Broad street, he fell
headlong from high pole at the corner
of Mcintosh street to the asphalt below.
and when picked up, or in, a few min.
utes after, was dead. 1t turned out that
a guy wire stretched across Broad street
to another pole at the Georgia Railroad
Bank corner, to strengthen the pole De-
loach was on. had sagged down in con-
tact with the trolley wire of the Electric
Railroad Company, running down; the
middle of the street, and when Deloach
came in contact with the guy wire. he
was killed.
Mrs. Susan Deloach, his wife, sued for
$40, 900 damages for the death Of her hus-
band, and proceeded against both the
telephone company and electric road.
The Electric Road proved that it's trolley
wire was where 1t had the right of way
and that it was not to blame for the
negligence of the telephone company in
allowing it's guy wire to sag down on the
live wire. The jury sustained this view
and gave verdict for $4,000 against the
telephone company alone.

TREASURE TROyE UNEARTHED.
S16,OOO of Buried Treasure Dug Up
in a Vault of a Century-OId CO.
1oniaI Mansion.

1OniaI Mansion.
From the New York Journal.
Three copper kettles filled with gold
coins, whose total value is more than
$4,000. were unearthed from an old vault
under the chimney ruins of the Hatfield
homestead, on Richmond avenue, Port
Richmond. S. L., and were yesterday
buried in the yard of Melville E. Wygant
who discovered the treasure.
The news of the finding of the money
spread through the neighborhood and
yesterday a curious throng visited the
cellar of the now demolished house and
prodded among the floosened bricks and
mortar for more coins. They found MOTH
ing.
The story of Wygant's good fortune IL
romantic. He owns a livery stable on
Jewett avenue, Port Richmond, and a
score of houses In the neighborhood. Next
door to him lives John Redmond, clerk of
the First District Court, In New Brigh-
ten. The two men were driving past the
old Hatfield place a few days ago when
Redmond suggested that the lumber in
the cellar Of the building nearest the
road would serve admirably to repair
some of Wygant's cottages
The latter went at once to John w
Darcy, who had purchased for $500 the
right to all the material on the land,
which recently passed into the possession
OF Charles Rosenberg, of Stapleton.
Paid $40 for $4,000.
Darcy was behindhand in his work and
he sold to Mr.. Wygant willingly for $40
the privilege of removing the lumber from
the basement OF the old dwelling house
near the road.
Wygant paid his money on Monday. and
with Redmond drove to inspect his pur-
chase. Redmond aligbted, saw a coin
shining IN the dirt near the chimney
place and put IL in his pocket
What have you got" asked his com
panion.
"oh. nothing" said Redmond. The
two then drove home.
An that night Redmond lay awake
thinking OF old stories OF the Hatfields.
For years II had been common rurnor
that Jacob. the former owner OF the es-
tate, had hidden large sum Of money
IN the cellar OF the old home
Redmond's find was nothing less than
an English 2O-shilling piece The more he
thought the more he concluded he had
stumbled on a stray piece Of the treas
ure.
As soon as 1t was daylight he told wy

ing the coin to the livery stable man,
'and I think there are plenty more in

and then, accompanied by his friend,

mile to the site OF She open cellar. II
was right over the mound made by an
ante-revolutionary bake oven that Red
mond had picked up the sovereign.
Mygant went 10 work with a plckax
and Redmond passed up the road TO keep
watch. The liveryman worked hard, and
was about 10 give UP his task IN despair
when his instrument struck something
