Columbia, S. c., July 23.-Editor E.
H. Decamp of the Gaffney Ledger and
Col. Jim Tillman, candidate for Gov
ernor, furnished the sensation at the
Gaffney campaign meeting to-day. In
a recent editorial the Ledger said that
Tillman was a liar. gambler and a
drunkard." Tillman was reading the
article. making sarcastic and vehement
remarks when Decamp walked up,
faced him and said he was the author.
There was great confusion, cheers
and counter cheers. The ladies fed
precipitately.
Finally Tillman said: Then you are
the author of something for which you
should be very much ashamed
Col. Tillman," replied Decamp COOL
ly, Il can prove you liar over your
own signature"
Terrific confusion followed. Tillrnan
invited the proof, Decamp went to his
office. BY the time the crowd had
quieted and Tillman resumed his
speech, Decamp returned. He read two
letters from Tillman in reply to bills
sent for advertising; in the fics. Till
man said he had paid in advance. in
the last he said he believed he had
paid but enclosed his check.
And he knew he was lying when
he wrote it," commented Decamp.
Tillman asked to see the letters. De-
camp standing close to him let him
read them.
IF 1 had but one thing on my mind
/ could remember these things" said
Tillman, but when l referred to my
books, found the error and paid the
BILL"
And does it take six letters to
make you refer to your books" que
ried Editor Decamp. Tillman didn t
answer and amid confusion the meet
ing adjourned.

GAMBLING AT LONG BRANCH.
New Jersey Judge Charges Grand
Jury on the Subject.

Freehold, N. j., July 23.-The Mon
mouth county grand jury convened
here to-day and received a charge con-
corning gambling from Justice Fort.
The justice said he had been compelled
to call the jury together to meet a
condition of affairs which was shock
ingly vicious. He said the Long
Branch gambling clubs were closed by
the court last year. In May of this
year licenses had been applied for by
caterers who had been vouched for as
not identified with gambling. These
applicants had been granted licenses
after they had filed with the clerk of
the court a written agreement that
no gambling paraphernalia would be
allowed on their premises. Justice Fort
said that since then information had
been brought to him that twelve large
gambling establishments and a num-
Der of smaller ones were running open
ly In Long Branch. The grand Jury
reported seven indictments against al
legged gamblers and then adjourned
until Aug. Z, when the investigation as
to the existence of gambling estab-
lishments will again be taken up.

HORSES VISIT SALOONS.
Turned Loose on the Burning of
Brewery, They Went over Their
Accustomed Route.

Turned Loose on the Burning of n
Brewery, They Went over Their
Accustomed Route.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Scores of iron gray brewery wagon
horses, minus their usual adjuncts of
wagon and driver, trotting in a BUSH
ness-like manner in pairs through the
streets and making stops at all the
saloons on their routes, was the UNI
usual sight that caused early morn
ing pedestrians throughout the north
eastern section of the city Tuesday
to pause and stare in establishment.
The animals which were going over
their routes on their own account be-
longed to the brewery of Weissbrod &
Hess. Fire was discovered in the hay
loft of their stable on Martha street
shortly after O'Clock In the morning.
A hundred head of horses that were
confined on the first floor of the stable
were turned loose on the streets, while
the employees of the stable endeavored
to extinguish the flames. For a while
no one had time to bother about the
horses after they had been gotten out
of the burning building.
Being left to their own devices, the
animals showed the effect of their bust
ness training After scampering
around for a few minutes the great
majority of them paired off with their
usual team mates and started off to
cover their accustomed routes. When
the stable boss finally realized where
the horses were going, he went to the
telephone and called up all-night sa-
looms on the different routes. Keep
your eyes open for a pair of our horses
who will stop at your place." he said
to the bartenders. "Detain them until
we can send a man to bring them
back" BY o'clock all the horses ex-
cept two had been captured.
One of these was a black coach
horse, the other a bay roadster with
white feet and face. AS they were not
employed to draw wagons they did
not stop at any of the saloons near the
brewery, but headed for their accus-
toned route in Paramount Park. Only
two of the brewery horses seemed to
have any other thoughts than those
of business. With what seems like
more equine intelligence, this pair ap-
pear to have realized that it would do
no good TO attend to business without
a driver or wagon. They recalled
pleasant days spent in idleness on a
farm near Holmesburg during a re-
cent vacation, and determined to profit
by their suddenly acquired liberty by
taking a holiday in the country. This
team started on a canter out Frank
ford avenue. Never deigning TO stop
at any of the saloons, they quickly
reached the Bustleton Pike and gall
loped out to their pleasant pasture.
Their holiday was cut short by the
owner OF the place, who recognized
them and returned them to the brew
cry In time for them to be sent on their
usual route.

CARDINAL GIBBONS BIRTHDAY
distinguished PreIate Celebrated
6Sth Anniversary Yesterday.

DISTINGUISHED PreIate Celebrated
6sth Anniversary Yesterday.
Baltimore, Md, July 2s.-cardinal
Gibbons, who. during the last few
weeks, has been called upon to mourn
the death of two members of the Ro-
man Catholic. hierarchy in America,
reached his sixty-eighth birthday to-
oays There was no formal celebration
OF the event, but during the day mes
sages OF congratulation poured in at
the archiepiscopal residence A@om
arehbishops, bishops and prominent
members of the clergy in all parts of
the country.
Cardinal Gibbons was born in this
city July %, 1884 of Irish parents. Dur
ing MS ooyhood he was taken to Ire
lahd, where he received the elements
OF liberal education. On returning to
the United States it was determined
py MS parents to consecrate him to
the service of God, and he entered St.
charles College. Maryland, where he
graduated with distinction in 1857
Thence he went to st. Mary's Semi
nary where, after taking the usual
courses of theology and philosophy, he
was oludiileu prleStRJune b. 1861, by
Archbishop Patrick Kenrick. Father
Gibbons was at once assigned to
duty, and hard duty at that time, in
the city of Baltimore, serving first as
an assistant priest at St. Patrick's
Church. Afterward he was sent as
pastor to the then humble and strug-
Cling parish of st. Budgets, Canton,
where he also had to serve old ST.
Lawrence's Church, at Locust Point,
and to cross the Patapsco river to do
SO in a ferry boat, oftentimes in the
stormiest weather. On March II, 1887,
he received the red hat of the cardi-
nalite from Pope Leo XIII.
The cardinal shows few signs of his
increasing years. His eye is as bright
and his step as quick and elastic as
twenty years ago. Every day when
the weather permits he walks from
five to ten miles, and takes great de-
light in firing out members of the
clergy, one of whom always accompa-
MES him on his long tramps through
the city and country. Next year the
cardinal is to celebrate his silver jubi-
lee and arrangements are already be-
ing made to make it the most elaborate
event of the kind that has ever been
celebrated in this country.

sections were provided with safety
lamps and instructed in their use.

least one safety lamp was open to en-
able the miners to fire a blast.

nesses said they had not discovered
gas in any of the workings.

Frank White of Barnes was nomi-

absolve the state and the Republican

reference to prohibition was to favor
the continued enforcement of existing

To Get Better
Weekly Papers

To Get Better A correspondent
Weekly Papers. writes The MIR
RoR as follows: Editor MIRROR.
As this seems to be an age of con-
solidation, how would it be for the
prisoners here to merge their in
terests to secure better weekly
papers? They could make the ar
rangements on the next holiday.
When [ came here I subscribed for
a we'll known paper for year and
expected to receive my moneys
worth, but it has developed into a
first class fake. It is a paper with
large circulation within these
walls. AS it is constituted at the
present time, it contains less than
five columns of reading matter.
One entire page is devoted to ad-
vertising the merits of somebody's
tabules, another to electric belts,
another to yap testimonials for
pink pills and still another to an
alleged serial story that no one
cares to read. Bradstreet's market
report occupies an entire page and
another is given over to some
"Mother Goose" doggrel. The
bulk of the rest of the paper is
devoted to a guessing contest, with
here and there few lines of news.
IL am not one of those who ex-
pect all the features of daily for
a dollar or two a year, but the
paper I refer to is neither more
nor less than an advertising pro-
gram. If the two or three hun
dred subscribers in here would go
in for another paper when their
subscriptions expire land there are
plenty of good weeklies to be had
at the same price, it would not
have the effect of stopping this
advertising publication, but it
might be of some benefit to the
papers that make an effort to print
a reasonable amount of news.
