White House Enlargement.

Tacoma News-Senator Lodge has in
troduced a bill appropriating s1.O00,O00
for an Office building for the President. 1t
is abominable that the President should
be obliged to transact all the executive
business of the Government with large
staff of clerks and a stream of business
callers in the house provided for the
residence Of his family. The White House
would be entirely suitable as it is for a
residence only, but II is unequal to the
demands upon it both as residence and
the Presidents office.

Wyatt Aiken, candidate for Con-
gress from the Third Congressional
District of South Carolina, was reared

son OF the late ID. Wyatt Aiken, who
volunteered as private, and who was
afterwards the beloved colonel of the
gallant Seventh South Carolina regi-
menc In the civil war; and who after
the war served his country in Congress
for five consecutive terms until his
death. Mr.. Aiken is young man, be-
ing just thirty-eight years old. He is
man OF rare personal magnetism and is
ever faithful and loyal to his friends.
He has been noted all his life for the
interest he takes in those who need

About q month after being mustered

Mr. Aiken is candidate for Congress
from the Third Congressional District
of South Carolina, and the prospects for
his election are tiattering. The Third

the late unpleasantness with Spain, for

comfort and helping any of them who
might get into trouble or need assist

him to secure favOrs and furlOughs for
his men when others failed. Several of

ignoring "red tape" and using common
sense. 1t was common saying among
the boys: eff Wyatt Aiken can't get

Negro Killed by Train.

Thursday night last, about 10 O clock,
the dead, mangled body of one Will
Gage, q negro said to have come here
from Union, $. c., were discovered
beneath train No. 3, which is due here
from Bolton at s.55 p. M. after it had
gone into the siding above the Union
depot for the night.
The train arrived late. There were
several empty cars standing on the
siding, which were pushed back for
some distance in order to make room
for the train. On leaving the cab to
go home the coloved fireman discovered
the body of man under the tender Of
the engine. He called to others OF the
crew and, upon examination, found the
man dead. No cries had been heard
and the find was shocking surprise to
the crew.
Policeman Davis responded to O call,
arrived promptly, examined the body
and found that it was still warm.
Coroner Banister was notified and en-
pannelled jury. After investiga-
ton the verdict was, practically, that
the deceased came to his death by be-
ing run over by the tender and cars of
train No. 3 through no fault nor negli-
ge- &C of the railroad company.
i here was deep wound on the left
temple, cut extending nearly the full
length of the right cheek, the left
shoulder and arm were broken and the
right leg crushed just above the
ankle.
The accepted theory of the fatal ac-
cident is that the negro had crawled
under one OF the cars standing on the
siding and gone to sleep. Backing into
the siding it was necessary to move the
cars and the negro was caught beneath
them and crushed MS above stated.
