dition at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 24-Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, widow of the presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy, is
seriously i'll at Castle Inn. in this
city. DR.. Chas. G. Stockton was
called at noon when Mrs. Davis con-
dition alarmed those in attendance.
Late this afternoon another physician
was called in for consultation. DR..
Stockton, when leaving the hotel
shortly before 6 O'Clock, said: sMrs.
Davis is in serious condition, but
her illness is of nature that need not
necessarily prove fatal. I must be ex-
cused from discussing her case further
tonight. Tomorrow morning perhaps
we will be able to make statement. I"
Mrs. Davis came to Castle Inn on
Monday from Port Colborne, Ont,
where she has been spending the sum-
mer. A partv Of friends accompanied
her, 90 in all, one of whom is her

husband spent some time in Toronto.
Since then the soiourn in Canada has
been frequent occurrence.

MOUNTAIN ON FIRE.
Norfolk and Western Obliged TO
Spend Half a Million to Build
a Road Around Mountain,
The Tunnel Through Which is Burning

Bristol, Tenn, Sept. 23.-From an
authoritative source it is learned that
the Norfolk and Western Railroad is
contemplating laying a track around
the mountain through which the
Craigen tunnel extends, and which is
now burning.
The discovery was made this week
that two veins of coal. which were
struck when the tunnel was being
made, have caugh5 fire, and time alone
may determine the result of the blaze.
Every effort of the railroad to ex-
tiugnish the blaze has so far been in
vain. Over nine hundred men are
now employed at the tunnel, which
is about one thousand feet long. Both
of it's ends have been stopped UP
securely and an air shaft run into the
top of the mountains, in an effort to
smother the blaze. Water is being
pumped intoathe cavity, and it was
sho1ght that in this manner the blaze
would finally be reached and quench-
ed. All Of these efforts have, seem
ingly, proven in vain and the fire still
RACES, apparently adding to its volume
every day. 70 lay the track round the
mountain, it is said, will involve an
expeditGre Of half a million dollars.

Bicycles Without Lighted Lantern.
From the Daily Item. Sept. %.

From the Daily Item, Sept. %.
The trial of the yiolators of the or
dinance against riding bicycles on the
paved streets Of the city after dark
without lighted lanterns, which was
held in the Mayors Court yesterday,
did not reach a final settlement. The
prisoners at the bar were Horace
HARDY, Jr., ESQ.,, and Messrs. ". S..
Jones and A. 4. Dickson. Mr.. Hardy
requested that his case be continued
until he could be represented by
counsel and the request was granted.
Mr.. Jones was represented by NJ. B.
jennings, Esq. A plea Of not guilty
was entered and upon the evidence
brought out in the trial the defendant
was adjudged guilty and the Mayor
imposed sentence of 81 fine or four
days imprionsment. Counsel gave
notice of appeal and the sentence was
suspended. Mr. Jones has since stat
ed to the City Clerk that he expects
to abandon the appeal.
Mr.. Dickson plead guilty to the
charge, but stated that he was agnor-
ant Of the ordinance.
The Mayor excused Mr.. Dickson,
and stated that it had been his inten-
tion to excuse all of the yiolators of
the ordinance who were before him,
as they were the first to be arrested
under the ordinance, and because he
realized that few were aware that the
ordinance had gone into effect.

FIGHT FOR FIR RATES.
Proceedings Before Railroad Com
mission in Regard TO Charles
ton Freight Petition.

Columbia, Sept. %. -One of the
largest and most representative busi-
ness meetings in recent years was held
today before the railroad commission.
Charleston, through its Freight Bur-
eau, started crusade for cheaper
rates into the State and was pushing
it's fight. The wholesale merchants
from the interior Of the State and
Piedmont section did not want to be
left in the cold, and If reductions in
rates were to be had they, too, wish
ed TO receive some of the benefits.
While the Charleston managers were
looking ont primarily for the interests
Of Charleston, they had no purpose
TO deny 10 others the same advantage,
that they sought. The result of the
movement started IN Charleston has
been combination Of interests that
is seIaeua seen. The commercial
bodies from all parts Of the State
and the wholesale grocers Of the up
country have combined their energies
and are nov insisting that South
Carolina get Che same rates as are in
yooue in Virginia. It means a seri-
ous and hard fight. &c is said by
those who are resisting the petition,
that it will mean, ii granted by the
RAILROAD commission, a reduction of.
% De rcsnt in the freight earnings of
the railroads.
The meeting of the railroad commits
sion today was called for the purpose
of hearing and considering the Char
lesion petition, but since it was fled
the plans have been changed, and as
q result of the conferences that have
been held. as published, the COM
mereiaJ bodies from, all parts of the
State have gone into the fight together
and are asking for the Virginia rates
IN toto, instead of in part, as is sought
lnder the first petition.
The original petition asked for re-
duetioa in rates on long hauls. that is
the Richmond rate to North Carolina
points. while now the purpose is to
ask for reductions ali along the line
regardless of distances.

CHILD DIES ON TRAIN.
Little Boy succumbs to Congestion Be-
tween Camden and This City.
From the Daily Item, Sept. "a,

From the Daily Item, Sept. "a
A little boy ten years old died on
the Northwestern traiu between Cam
den and this city yesterday afternoon.
The boy was one of a party Of eleven
factory operatives, includ!ng his faith.
er and mother who we're going from
Lancaster to Dillon to work in the
cotton mill at that place. The boy had
been sick for some time with malarial
fever and was in a debilated condition
but the immediate cause was conges-
ton, probably a cougestive chill,
which came on after the train left
Camden. When the train reached this
city, Health Officer Reardon
took charge Of the case. DR.. Van Tel
oerg- e Rofman made careful examina-
ton of the body and this together with
the statements of the boys parents sat
isfed him THAT death was the result of
the causes stated above. The body was
taken to the undertaking establish
ment Of the Whilden Furniture Com
pany and embalmed and prepared for
shipment to Dillon.
The dead chiid's father, W. D.
Crowley, as well as all others in the
party were entirely destitute having
only railroad tickets to Dillon. The
city authorities bore the expenses OF
preparing the body for shipment and
furnished a coffin. The party were
also cared for last night, and this
morning they proceeded to Dillon on
the 81 train.
When the party reached the depot il
was found that the railroad would moi
permit the child's body to be taken tc
Dillon on the ticket which had beer
purchased for the living child, the
ticket not having stop over privilege
| in this city. When the facts became
known a collection was taken up al
the depot and suficinet money was
quickly donated to purchase new
ticket for the corpse.
Yesterday afternoon when it frs
became known at the depot that the
child had died on the train repor
was circulated that it died of dipthe
ria and there was considerable excite
ment among those who were waiting
tc take the outgoing trains. Even thu
result of the investigation made b,
the Health Officer and the opinion o
DR.. Holman after the examination dit
not entirely allay the excitement ant
apprehension of the passengers. Health
Officer Reardon states that DR.. Hof
man said chat there were no indica
tions of diptheria, and there was an'
is no grounds for fear by those VIII
were on the train with the child o
who came into contact with the part.
of mill people.
