MISTAKE RESIDENCE
FOR A BLIND TIGER"
Ignorant ConStabIeS Arouse Citizens
of Columbia.

CHARLESTON. S. G.. April 14.-There
was great indignation here today when
it became known that dispensary con
stables had invaded the Trenholm resi-
denee on wild hunt for blind tiger
liquor.
Mrs Trenholm is the widow of William
L. Trenholm. who was Comptroller Of the
Currency under President Cleveland.
She has a magnificent home at the head
of the aristocratic Battery. and she was
astounded when FIVE rough countrymen
called and said they had orders to search
the place. Protests and entreaties were
uEavailing. The officers pushed their
way in, frightened other women who
were calling, and went through every
room.
They opened wardTobes. scattered
clothing, and left without finding a sin
gle trace of whisky. Friends of the
family kept the wires hot today and
Governor Hayward was informed of the
outrage. The only explanation the con
stables could offer was that some griev-
Gus mistake had been made in the street
number and today the chief in this city
called on Mrs Trenholm with an apology.
1t was not accepted.
Feeling ran high for time and the
citizens recalled the fact that it was dis
pensary work OF this kind that precipi-
tated the Darlington war, when Senator
TiIlman was governor. Il was said to-
night that committee would be sent
to Columbia to file protests with Gov
ernor Hayward with the hope of pre-
venting similar outrages in the future

the propagation Of religion by force IS

because of The presence last evening Of

Each individual was actuated solely by
desire to yell himself blue in the face
for the glory of Columbian. yellow and
blue flags were as thick as flies around

waved by their industrious carriers.
