News from the Citadel.

THE CITADEL, CHARLESTON, December
14.-Last Friday will long be remembered
by the corps as one of the most pleasant
evenings of the year. The corps OF cadets
of the Porter Military Academy gave an
informal hop and courteously invited our
corps to attend The hop was well man
aged, and the managers certainly deserve
credit for their work. The dance was
| giyen in alumni hall at the academy and
proved great success. The floor was ex-
cellent, and the band furnished fine music.
The hall was artistically DECORATED with
eyerSreens, while the walls were draped
| with flags and other military emblems.
The weather was very fine, and allowed
all the invited friends to be present.
Promptly at half-past nine the music be-
gan and in few minutes the floor was
crowded with the merry dancers. The
different cadet uniforms mingled with the
evening suits of the citizens showed up
well and the scene was very attractive.
The costumes of the young ladies were
magnificent, and showed that there had
been no lack of preparation on their part
At 10 o'clock refreshments were served
bv the chairman and managers, and were
enioved by ALL After an intermission OF
about thirty minutes, the music again
commenced and soon the floor was well
filled This was kept up-a walse now, a
two-stcp following, then a glide-until
the hands Of the old clock hanging down
at the end of the hall pointed to halfpast
one. Then began the final Walse, "Home
Sweet Home" At it's close, all encored
vigorously and induced the band to play
once more. At it's close, the crowd dis
persed and on all sides the guests were
expressing their thanks to the members
of the Porter Dance Club.
Our cadets enjoyed it especially, and
have invited the Porter cadets to attend
our annual Christmas hop next Friday
night. The hop is to be held at the Ger
man Artillery hall-the finest floor in the
citv-and promises to be great success

meeting with Patrick after Rice's death.
Early in the session to-day DIR. Hamil-
ton Williams, whose oSS-examinaton
was continued from yesterday, reiterated
his opinion that the condition of Mr..
Rice's lungs was due to the inhalation of
a gaseous irritant. According to Cap
tain Baker. Patrick said he intended to
entrust Rice's Texas affairs to Captain
Bakers firm. Patrick gave him the 1896
will and copies of the 1900 WILL and of
the assignment OF Rice's property. Pat
rick said he had taken a number of pa
pers from Rice's rooms. and that he
would show them to Baker.

ir the vault, and of the production by
Patrick of what he claimed Was a list
Of the securities therein.

stance, who had known him for thirty
years, so with you to Mr.. Rice's apart
ncnts and read over in their presence,
the will and assiSnmcnts? Patrick re-
piled: I expect | ought to have done
that; but, you know, NLr. Rice was pc
culiar, and he insisted that our rela-
tiouS should be secret.
II told Patrick" the witness continued,
that l would never consent to the pro-
bate OF the will Of 1900 and that I be-
lieved the will Of 1896 was the last gen
uiue will of Mr.. Rice. Mr.. Patrick re-
piled that he did not care; that he would
just as soon see one will proved as the
