Murder Trials at Charleston.
The February term of the criminal
court convened at Charleston last Mon
day. Several murder cases were
brought over from the last term, and
these, with the new cases, will give
great deal of work.

A Quick Trial.

The case Of the negro, Livingston,
who confessed to having been impli-
Gated in the murder of the daughter Of
the keeper of the national cemetery at
Florence some months ago. was quick.
ly disposed of at the court of sessions.
Since escaping from the mob that kill
ed his partner, who was the actual
murderer, Livingston has been in the
penitentiary in Columbia for safe keep
ing.
Judge Watts ordered that he be
taken to Florence on a certain train,
and directed the train to stop at a Ger.
tain crossing. This was done, and a
posse of special deputies, sworn in by
the sheriff and consisting of business
men of Florence, met the negro and
escorted him to the court house. He
was Immediately arraigned, pleaded
guilty, and was sentenced to ten years
at hard labor. Livingston was taken
back to the crossing, freight train
was stopped, and in twenty minutes
after arriving in Florence he was on
his way back to Columbia, The peo'
pie of Florence knew nothing of the
matter till the man was out OF reach.
Trust Will Control.
A Charleston dispatch says: With
the formal transfer of the Charleston
Mining Company to the Virginia Car.
olina Chemical Company, the last Of
the old line independent concerns, will
pass into the hands of the trust. The
trust will now control all the great fer
tilizer output Of this section and il
secure against opposition. The state
ment was made after the last meeting
of the Charleston Mining Company
stockholders, that the question was be
ing considered of issuing coupon bonds
to the extent of 81, 900, 900 to erect new
buildings where fertilizers would bt
manufactured on a larger scale. The
independent company owned 27,Ool
acres of the cream of phosphate lane
and this was needed by the Virginia
Carolina Company to properly carry OF
it's work. Without this phosphate
land the trust might have been Grip
pied.
The stock of the mining company,
which was sold at S130 share, was
remarkably cheap. It was said that
the trust would have paid 5000 share
rather than see opposition spring up,
and the Charleston stockholders want
ed to wait for a bigger offer. The
Philadelphia holders, who had practi-
cally all OF the stock, got tired OF de-
laws and issued orders to sell. The
stock had to be secured by March lst,
but it is all in now.
