the Trust bill under discussion during

tang gible results. The amendments Of

lost by good majority.

over the matters OF re-districting the
state. but the senate bill finally passed
as given in these columns.
d Tenty-fourth Day-When the ap-
pI,opriation bill came up for third
reading Mr.. Harvey Wilson, chairman
offered an amendment to increase the
appropriation for printing from $4,000
to $4,000. The code must be printed
this year, he explained. and that will
make the difference. The amendment
was agreed to.
The house further agreed to the
amendment to provide 1895 additional

the Senate over the redistricting bill.
The measure. as il passed the Housa
hnally passed. its second reading in tho
Senate. with the single amendment
tnat Clarendon is taken from the
seventh district and placed in the Ficst
district. IL is thought that this amend
ment Will be agreed to by the House
and that the bill will be ratified ia this
shape.
Senator Gruber offered an amend
which would have materially
changed the First, Second and
seventh districts, but after long de-
pate the amendment was lost. When
Senator Mayfield undertook to have
Edgefield and Saluda placed i'm separate
districts. This brought forth a spirited
protest from Senator She Dard, who
carried his point. and Edgeheld and
Saluda remain side by side IN the Sec
ond district.
The redistricting bill, as it passed
the Senate yesterday, arranges the Con
gressional districts as follows:
First District-Charleston Berkeley.
Colleton. Clarendon and Dorchester.
Second District-Aiken, 3amberg
Barnwen. Beaufort, EdGeicld. SaIuda
and Hampton.
Ihird Pickens. Occnee. All
deTson. Abbeville, Greenwood and New
berry
Fourth District-Laurens, Spartan
burg, Greenvilie and Union.

and Lancaster.
re-, nlxth District-Marlboro. Marion.
Horny. Darlington. Florence, Williams
burg and Georgetown.
seventh District-Richmonds Sum
ter. Orangeburg and Lexington.
Twenty third Day - The Senate

preparations. The bill as given else
where in these columns was passed
without material change.
Twenty fourth Day The Senate
was in session more than six hours
but during that time no great number
or matters was acted upon-debate be-
ing the order of the day Nearly all
or the morning was consumed in the
consideration of the bill to provide for
a commission to settle the boundary
line dispute between Greenville and
Spartanburg. The bill was killed.
At the night session Senator May

ment of state fertilizer plant was

TOMASI VS.. MASSUCCO.

ID. Tomasi and S. Massucco INDUCED in
miXup Wednesday which resulted in
Mr.. Tomasi's being elected from the store
of Massucco. Tomasi, who owns the build
ing occupied by Massucco. called upon his
tenant to collect his rent and incidentally
he made a few insulting and unkind re-
marks whereupon Mr.. assucco handed
him his check and politely asked him to
pass out. Mr., Tomasi accepted the check
but not the invitation and Nassucco
started to take him by the arm and escort
him so the door.
Tomasi anticipated his intention and
made wicked stab ut him with an UNI
brell which he carried in his hand. as,
succo's hand was badly scratched aud he
handed VT. ITomasi four very solid
punches in the face. Tomasi in attempt
ng to reciprocate with the umbrella, came
in contact with John, the iceman," who
escorted the Italian To the sidewalk in
short order +. Tomas, who leaves in
few hours for Italy, left vowing that he
would return III the spring and Fix" as

The trouble has grown out of the recent
breach of promise snit against Tomasi by
sister of assucco The opinion of those
present at the scrap was that Mr. Mas

IN ORANGE COUNTY.

The Barre Times of last evening con.
tanned an exposure of some of the do
ings of Clements workers in Orange
county to obtain delegates to the Re-
publican State convention who would
vote for the nomination of their chief
to the governorship. The Times ex-
position says:
In the State convention at Montpe-
lier, June 10, only one delegate was
unseated, by the State committee and
that one was a Clement delegate from
Orange He was unseated because he
was elected by fraud If the Clement
men had any faith in their own as
sertions, why did they not present
them to that committee for action?
They had adopted Reform" as an
issue at that time. Instead they
went into the State convention and
endeavored there to have the fraud
ulently elected Clement delegate from
the town of Orange seated over the
decision of the State committee. But
they have never mentioned the I'M
seating of that delegate since the con-
vention. Why?
Because they feared the facts would
be published, that money had been
spent to buy Clement votes in Orange
and endeavors had been made to buy a
candidate for delegate on another tick
ct to vote for Mr.. Clement in the con-
vention. 1t is not believed Mr., Glenn
ent knew of any such doings or would
countenance such proceedings, but
that ardent supporters of his did
spend money is shown by the affida-
Wits printed below Where the money
came from to pay these purchased vot-
ers, perhaps the agents in the tran
saction can tell.
The Times publishes several affida-
Wits relating to the efforts Of Glenn
ent agent to buy votes in Orange.
Among these is the following;
l, Royal @. Flanders, of Orange,
in the county of Orange, and State of
Vermont, on oath depose and say that
| am resident tax payer and voter of
the town of Orange that on the day

RUNAWAY ON MAIN STREET.

A curious ard what may be called
fortunate runaway accident occurred
on Main street late Thursday after
noon w. r. Richards of East Mont
pelier is employed upon the Hillside
building and Mrs Richards drives to
and from the city for him each morn
ing and evening. Following her
wonted custom she came to the city
on Thursday evening bringing her
baby, which she carried on one arm,
driving with the other She stopped
at the fountain near Bethany church
to water her horse
AS the horse has always been docile,
she experienced no alarm when the
steam roller came around the Union
House corner on to the Main street,
but the horse did and bolted With
one jump the animal cleared itself
from the carriage, which was thrown
up against the fountain, and madly
ran up Main street
Mrs Richards was thrown violently
forward over the dash board but
with remarkable GOODNESS and presence
of mind chung to her baby and threw
out her disengaged arm, which plung-
ed into the fountain until her hand
touched bottom, thus helping her tc
keep from falling and regain her seat
in the carriage.
Bystanders rushed to her aid and
notified her husband. Ira Pierce
clerk for L. N. Wood, caught the
horse near the Langdon residence. The
broken harness and slightly damaged
carriage were adjusted and Mr.. Rich
ards and family started for home al
calmly as though they had not had a
narrow escape from serious injury.
