CoIumbia's Tiger King.

The boss tiger of the State lives in Co.
lumbia. His name is Wade Hampton
Sellers. The constables seized of his
stuff last Wednesday 400 pints of corn,
200 half pints of peach and honey, and
200 half pints of rye. The seiznre was
made in the barn of Alderman Geo, 20
w. Collins, on Laurel street, and at first
some people suspicioned the alderman of
completely; but Sellers shoulders all the
blame, and says that Collins was entirely
ignorant of the existence of the whiskey
1t seems that Collins is in the dray bust
ness, and Sellers hired negro draymar
to store the stuff in the barn. 1t is a
matter of record that OH one occasion
the constable took from Sellers 400 gal
Ions Of whiskey and has gotten 200 gal
Ions at once on numerous occasions. II
is stated that the constables have taken
$4,000 worth of whiskey from him since
Jrnuary last; but still he claims to bs
making q good living.

Fiendish Crime Committed for the Purpose oil
Robbery.

Washington, Pa, September 25.-One
of the most fiendish and bloodthirsty
murders AMI robberies in the history of
Washington county occurred this after
noon on the Middletown road, about Is
miles from here. Samuel r. Ferguson,
of the Ferguson Construction company
of Pittsburg, was instantly killed and
his secretary, Charles Martin of Cincin-
natl, was fatally injured. The two men
were driving along the road in a buggy,
carrying $4,000 in cash with which to pay
off some of their men employed on con-
struction work along the line of the Wa
bash railroad. when suddenly an explos-
ion of dynamite in the roadway literally
tore the rig to pieces, killing Ferguson
outright and throwing Martin 200 feet,
tearing his left arm almost from the
socket. 1t has been learned that two
men supposed to be Poles placed the
dynamite in the road for the purpose of
killing Paymaster Ferguson and had ar
ranged to explode it by means of an
electric battery. The satchel containing
the money is missing.

of the trouble at Salem, as Moss and Cor.
bin were a considerable distance from

trouble grew out of bad feeling due to
the arrest, trial and conviction of several
parties from the Salem section some

as to what degree whiskey figured in the
case. Corbin was able to assume his
duties Monday morning.

Bridal Couple Blew Out The Gas.

Spartanburg, September 26.-A young
newly married couple, hailng from
North Carolina, came to the city Tuesday
and registered at the Spartan Inn. On
the night of that day they attended an
attraction at the opera house and after
the performance returned to their room
at the hotel. About midnight Clerk
Goodlett detected the odor of escaping
gas and an investigation traced the
room occupied by them. A knock on
the door received no response and keys
were procured and the room entered.
The young persons were asleep, uncon.
soious of the danger, and were awakened
just in the nick Of time. Investigation
disclosed the fact that the gas had been
blown out instead of cut off.
