Captain John D. Mcconnell, of Nc
Connellsville, advises us that there is
some mistake about the identity of the
remains Of the two Confederate SOL
diers recently reported as having been
dug up by railroad contractors near
Petersburg, Va. The dispatch to The
News and Courier described the re-
mains as being those Of two Burrises
from York county. Captain McCon-

During his stop over in Yorkville
from Monday until yesterday morning,
General f. w. Noise received many OF
his old friends and admirers, who call
ed upon him at his rooms at the Three
Cs hotel. The general is remembered
as one of the most brilliant and earn-
est speakers of the famous '76 CAM
paign, and many people who met him
first on the occasion of his memorable
visit to Yorkville, took occasion to re-
new their acquaintance for the first
time since. Although he is rs years
older than he was when he came here
first, his speech in the court house on
Monday morning did not indicate that
he has lost any Of his magnetic power
over an audience or any Of his convinc-
ing logic and wisdom. He Is remark
ably well-preserved old gentleman,
and looks as If there are still many

SGonstable Scoggins seized six or
seven gallons Of whisky from Amy
Buchanan, colored, on East Madison
street, last Saturday. The constable
was assisted by Sheriff Logan, Deputy
Harshaw and Policemen Love and
Rose. A portion Of the whisky had
been concealed under a trap door in
the Buchanan woman's house, and
the trap door was covered by a rug.
The balance Of the whisky was found
in the pig pen. The officers had re-
ceived some pretty broad hints as to
where they would probably find the
whisky, and they had but little difficult
ty. The Buchanan woman, together
with her daughter, was committed to
jail on the charge of handling contra
band liquor. Their place has long been
notorious among the blind tiger pa
irons, and they have figured to some
extent in the court Of general sessions

WORK ON THE BRIDGES.

County Supervisor Gordon was in
Yorkville Monday, and in answer to
the reporters questions he indicated
satisfactory progress in repairing the
damage wrought to bridges by the re-
cent flood.
Instead of letting out contracts, Mr..
Gordon has deemed it advisable to
make the largest possible use or the
chaingang, and he has thus been able
to accomplish a great deal at but .tri-
fling expense.
The Plaxico bridge over Allison
creek, was tackled first. This bridge
had been badly wrecked; but many of
the timbers were still standing or lodg-
ed a short distance down the creek,
and it was but short time after the
gang got to work until the bridge was
again ready for use.
The Robinson bridge, over Fishing
creek, was completely demolished; but
most of the lumber was recovered.
1t was not thought advisable to re-
store the bridge as it was at this time;
but it was thought better to erect a
temporary structure to serve until next
summer The work was completed on
Monday.
The damage to the Thomasson
bridge, over Fishing creek, was not as
great as was at first reported. 1t de-
velops that the reporter confounded
the damage here with that at the Ha-
gans branch, further out the Char
lotte road. The damage at the Thorn
asson bridge will be repaired without
considerable expense; but the services
Of skilled stone masons will be requir-
ed to replace the foundations Of the
bridge over Hagans's branch.
So far as Is known now, traffic has
been resumed, either by bridge or ford
over all the creeks and branches that
were rendered temporarily impossible
by the flood. ....

1T is generally believed by those who
are giving rational consideration to the
condition of affairs in the Philippines,
that the capture of Aguinaldo will re-
suit in the speedy establishment of
peace throughout the Philippines The
backbone Of the opposition to Ameri-
can sovereignty was broken months
ago, when the Filipino forces became
scattered and their commanding gen.
eral took refuge in the mountain fast
nesses. AS we understand the situa-
ton, the island of Luzon is more COM
pletely conquered than it has ever been
in all it's history. During her oc-
cupation Of several hundred years,
Spain only managed to acquire num-
Der of coast towns, leaving the inter-
ior to the natives. The Americans
have gone wherever they chose to 60,
and it is reasonable to assume that
the islands are now open to civilization.
1t is not probable that there will be
much more armed resistance to Amer
lean authority.

The Commoner: The revolving in
stance of enforced servitude discov-
cred in South Carolina, has caused
a widespread sensation among the COL
ored people of the north. But it should
be remembered that very few persons
were connected with this new form
OF slavery and that Il white judge and
a white jury ferreted out the CRIME and
brought the offenders to justice.

PRESIDENT J. G. Schurman, of Cor
nell university, who was president of
the first Philippine commission, is
very much interested in the capture
of Aguinaldo, and thinks that the best
thing to do with the Tagalog chief
tain, after he takes the oath of allegi-
ance to the United States and accepts
American sovereignty, is to make him
governor of one of the Philippine pro-
vinces. There is lots of sense in this
suggestion, and it is to be hoped that
nothing will develop to prevent it's be-
ing carried into practical effect.

by announcing that he intended to take

Up to the present moment there is no

.NENNS TELLS HIS STORY.
Former Brooklyn Fire Chief
] Denies Getting $4,000
To Influence N. Y.
Department.

| Thomas F. Nevins, former Fire Chief
| of Brooklyn, whose name has been mixed
up in suit to reinstate Albert Goldstein
| on the Board of Directors of the Pneu-
| matte Fire Alarm Telegraph Company
\ of which Bernard M. Ewing is president
| has given his side of the story touching
the payment of $4,000 to secure the in
| fiuence of the New York Fire Depart
ment in the interest of the company.
Mr.. Nevins's testimony was taken be-
fore Commissioner Thomas Achenbach
today. Examined by Lawyer Leo Levi
for the petitioner, Goldstein, the witness
proceeded to state that in September last
he had an interview with Mr.. Ewing,
who was introduced to him by Goldstein.
"They," said Mr.. Nevins, talked about
some trouble they had with the wires
and the telephone people and in a gem
eral way about the affairs of the COM
pany. 1t did not amount to much and
| they went away"
Nevins denied that he proposed to en-
ter the employ of the Pneumatic Company
| at 5000 a year, as Goldstein and Mr..
Ewing testified that he made the pro-
posal.
Mr.. Ewing's testimony to that effect
was read to Nevins, and after some verbal
sparring he admitted that Ewing and
Goldstein were to submit to him a propo-
sition to go into their concern.
Did you receive any money from Mr..
Goldstein or Mr.. Ewing, directly or indi-
rectly?" asked the lawyer.
mo, sir; never in my life.''
did you authorize Mr.. Goldstein to get
any money for you?"
.'No, SIR
On cross examination by Lawyer Dore-
mus for Mr.. Ewing, Nevins said he was
not prepared to say absolutely that there
was no proposition of 5000, and he
added
Il do not say there was not a proposi-
ton made, there were various PROPOSE
tions talked of so that cannot tell ex-
actly what it was"
Then they did not offer you $4,000 of
stoek?" asked Mr.. Levi.
mo, sir'
Goldstein, Mr.. Ewing said at a previous
hearing, swore that such an offer had
beer made. but Nevins refused the stock
according to Ewing's testimony
This man (Nevins) said he would con-
slider taking a position in our company,
an advisory position, to have his name on
the letter heads and draw a salary for his
dertake to fix up these difficulties with
the rival company"
This closed the testimony. On June IA
Vice Chancellor Pitney will resume the
hearing in Chancery Chambers here.
