1T is reported that the South Caro-
lima and Georgia Extension is contem-
plating another change of schedule un-
der which it is proposed to make one
passenger train do the work the two

change will go into effect soon, and. If

earlier and the northbound train later.
The town council Is considering the
question Of acquiring the Tavora Cot
ton Mill company's electric light plant.
At a special meeting Of the council
held on Monday, it was decided to en-
ploy an expert to appraise the value OF
the property with a view to making
the Tavora people an offer. If the Ia
vora people agree to take the valua-
tion reported by the expert, 1t Is prob
able there will be a trade.
TT would like it stated" said COL
onel W. G. Stephenson. with reference
to the terrible tragedy at Blacks pond
last Saturday, that the cadets were
there by proper permission. Cadet
Nichols came to me with request In
behalf Of himself and the other boys.
Knowing nothing Of the place, I ask
ed him, as to its character, and from
what he said I decided that there was
lon
mission conditioned on their securing
the consent of one Of the professors
to take charge of the squad. 1t turns
out that all that Cadet Nichols told me
as to conultions was correct, as the
situation had been understood for
years. I am sure that he would not
have Intentionally misrepresented the
matter to me for any conceivable con-
sideration."
Pursuant to the call Of the mayor,
a mass meeting assembled in the court
house last Friday night to hear the fl
nancial report Of the town treasurer
and to make nominations for the en-
suing two years. There were only
about Is people present. The report
Of the treasurer was received as infor-
nation, and Mr.. M. C. Willis was
unanimously re-nominated for mayor.
The meeting was divided on the ques-
tion as to the propriety Of so few peo-
pie making nominations for aldermen,
and after discussion of the matter, 1t
was decided to adjourn until Monday
night, when it was hoped there would
be a larger attendance. The attend
ance on Monday night was about the
same as at the previous meeting, and,
upon motion it was decided to proceed
with nominations. An aldermanic tick
ct was completed as follows: Ward 1,
S. M. Grist; Ward g. w. B. Moore;
Ward 3, J. j. Hunter; Ward 4, ]. +.
White; Ward 5, T. C. Dunlap: Ward s.
M. L. Carroll. Messrs. S. M. McNeel
and G. w. Williams were both nomi-
mated for reelection, put both declin-
ed to serve. The other gentlemen were
nominated in their absence. DR.. ]. l..
Mcdowell and Mr.. w. I. Witherspoon
were nominated as school trustees, DR..
Mcdowell to succeed himself and Mr..
Witherspoon to succeed Mr.. H. c.
Strauss, who declined reelection.

IN telling the story of the tragedy Of
last Saturday at Blacks pond there
has been no effort to go beyond or COL
or the facts. The thing is too awfuliy
terrible to warrant such liberty. But
no one who reads the details in anoth-
er column. can fail to be impressed,
amid all the surrounding gloom, with
the brilliant jewels of noble manhood
which there came to light. There Is no
other way to put it than that young
Nichols and Lindsay offered up their
lives on the altar of what they con-
ceived to be their simple duty. Captain
Stephenson and Mr.. Black did all they
could, and no more can be reasonably
expected of any man. With young
Marshall Morrow, 1t appears to have
been not only a matter Of ability: but
willingness to do. and his magnificent
work commands the universal homage
that it will receive. If there is any
blame to be meted out on account Of
any part of the whole distressing trag-
edy, it will have to be placed by 9TH
ers. THE ENQUIRER has hunted as dill
igently for blame as for merit; but has
been able to locate no blame whatever.

CABLES Of Sunday from Manila, tell
of an important engagement between
American troops and hostile Moros un-
der Datto Bayan on the island of Min
danao. 1t is estimated that the Moros
numbered about 600 men. The Ameri-
can force consisted of the Twenty-fifth
battery and seven companies of the
Twenty-seventh infantry under Colo
mel Baldwin. There were four noun
tain guns and 470 rifles. 1t was neces-
sary for the Americans to work them
selves forward for a long distance
through tangled grass. The Moros
fought furiously, and when their am
munition gave out resorted to their
krisses. parongs and kampilans. Ac-
cording to the reports, however, the
Americans did not finch. They did
terrible execution with their rifles at
long range, and advanced steadily up to
the very walls Of the fort. Several in
tervening trenches were filled with
dead Moros. killed with clubbed guns
and bayonets. After losing their lead
ers, including Datto Bayan, 4S0 Moros
surrendered. Several tried to escape
from the fort after the surrender; but
were Shot down. 1t is stated that the
officers of the hosnital corps were at
tackled in the rear. Wounded Moros
rose from the grass and stabbed at
their conouering enemies. The number
of Moros killed has not been stated.
Lieutenant Bovars and seven enlisted
men of the American force, were kill
ed, and three onlcers and thrty-seven
men were wounded. There is another
strong fort In sight of the one just cap
tured; but when the dispatch was sent
out it was the policy of the Americans
to wait for short while in the hope
that as the result of the battle Just
fought, tnere would be general submis-
sion. The Moros are described as a
fierce people who have never been
worSted by the Spaniards; but it is be-
lieved that so soon as they begin to
appreciate the kind of stuff of which
Americans are made, there will be a
decided cooling down of the warlike
spirit that has characterized them for
so long. 1t is possible, however that
they may join together in 4 holy war
and submit to practical determination
rather than submit

THREE SAD FUNERALS.


Arrangements were made last Satur-
day night to take the bodies of Cadets
Stevens, Lindsay and Nichols to the
K. M. M. A. barracks. prepare them
for burial there, and hold a common
funeral service in the Presbyterian
church on Sunday morning; but
through Difference to the wishes Of the
parents the matter was ordered 9TH
erwise.
The bodies Of Nichols and Lindsay
were taken to their respective homes
without unnecessary delay. and Cap
tain Stevens. accompanied by sons
and daughters from Rock Hill and
Kershaw, came over on a special train
for the body Of his son and carried It
to Rock Hill. In view Of this change
of arrangements. it was decided to
divide the corps Of cadets into three
detachments, and that one detachment
attend each funeral.
Captains Wolff and Witherspoon ac-
companied one detachment to Bethel;
Colonel Stephenson and Captain
Schneider went with another to Rock
Hill, and Major Bernard and Captain
Stevenson remained in Yorkville to
attend the funeral of Cadet Lindsay.
The funeral services Of Cadet Mich
OILS took place at the home of his pa
rents at o'clock p. M. and were con-
Quoted by Rev. W. A. Haffner. Hun
dreds of sympathizing friends had WIS.,
tied the house during the morning to
pay their respects to the distressed
family, and there was quite a large
number present to participate in the
funeral services. Mr.. Haffner offered
a touching prayer and made a very
appropriate talk. After the services
the procession moved to Bethel cem-
etery. some six miles away, where
the interment took place. There were
many people also at the cemetery.
Quantities of beautiful flowers were
sent from Yorkville and from all the
country surrounding.
The funeral of Cadet Stevens was
conducted from the First Presbyterian
church Of Rock Hill. There was a
large congregation in attendance there
also. Rev. DR.. J. H. Thornwell con-
Quoted the services. He was assist
ed by Rev. w. E. Thayer. Messrs
Leroy Davidson. Gilbert Green, w. B.
Wilson, Jr.. Theodore Moore, Lloyd
Philips and r. J. Lindsay acted as
pail bearers. The services were most
impressive and the people of Rock Hill
showed deep sympathy for the stricken
relatives.
The funeral of young Lindsay showed
that the town was stirred by the
tragedy as it had seldom been stirred
before. The young man had scores of
close friends, and was held in the
highest esteem by all who know him.
The family stands high in Yorkville.
There was continuous stream of Wis
itors to the house from the time of the
first news Of the tragedy up to the
hour of the funeral. A long line of
carriages followed the hearse to the
presbyterian church, and the build
ing was crowded to it's fullest capacity
1t was literally a heart service that
followed. Rev. w. G. Neville, the
pastor, was affected almost beyond ex-
preston. He read the first hymn with
difficulty and broke down in his pray
er. There were few dry eyes in the
congregation. The services were ad-
Journed to the cemetery, where Mrs.
NJ. c. Willis rendered. with touching
effect, the beautiful hymn, ASLEEP in
Jesus" The grave was hidden under
a covering of flowers.

TWO MORNING BLAZES
One Car Destroyed and Three Others
Damaged in Rock Island
Railroad Yards.

The fire department had two runs
this morning in short order. The first
alarm came in Il few minutes before
6 o'clock and was caused by the burn
ing out of paper over an uncapped
flue at 1923 Third avenue, the place
being occupied by Mrs. Sherwood.
There was no damage.
The seconu call was to the Rock Is
land railroad yards, where a string
of loaded coal cars had caught fire
northwest of the Rock Island round
house on Q sidetrack. On account
of the difficulty in reaching the place
there was a considerable delay and
one of the cars was entirely destroy
ed and two or three others badly
damaged. The tracks were blocked
for a time and train No. 40 was held
half an hour. The blaze is supposed
to have originated from sparks from
passing engine which lodged in one
of the cars.
