DEADLY REVENGE.
Lieut.. Gov. TiIlman, of south Caro-
lima, shoots an Editor at Column
bia Who Denounced Him.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 16.-In the
very shadow of the South Carolina
state house Lieut.. Gov. James H.
Tillman yesterday afternoon shot
and probably mortally wounded Mar
cisso G. Gonzales, founder and editor
of the Columbia State, newspaper
which since it's inception has bitterly
opposed the Tillman faction in South
Carolina politics.
His condition and the details of the
tragedy are almost the only topics of
conversation in South Carolina.
kilograms came throughout the day
from all parts of the state and from
many places beyond it's borders ex-
pressing sympathy and asking for the
latest newsas to his condition.
Friday morning, when the city
schools assembled and prayers were
said, they included an appeal to God
for the recovery of Mr.. Gonzales. At
the South Carolina college prayers
were offered for the recovery of the
stricken editor, and even in the senate
chamber, where Lieut.. Gov. Tillman
had presided shortly before the shoot
ing, the chaplain prayed that the AL
mighty would save the life of Mr..
Gonzales.
1t is understood here that Mr.. Till
mans line of defense will be that he
thought Gonzales was armed and that
he had a weapon in his coat pocket and
that he had his hands in his coat
pocket. He is said to contend that he
had every reason to believe that Mr..
Gonzales was armed. Mr.. Gonzales
friends state that he was not armed.
Mr.. Tillman will claim that when he
aimed his pistol the second time at
Mr.. Gonzales that he did so expecting
Mr.. Gonzales to defend himself and
that he lowered his weapon because
there was no response and not because
of anything Mr.. Gonzales said. Mr..
Tillman, it is understood, also will con-
tend that he had not met Mr.. Gonzales
before. This is denied by Mr.. Gonzales
friends, who say Mr.. Gonzales and Mr..
Tillman were in the senate chamber
and the state capitol together.

The Erie Company.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE Della
ware & Hudson company closed its
case before the coal strike commits
sion yesterday afternoon and the
commissions attention was then
called to the conditions existing in
and about the collieries operated by
the Erie company. Testimony was
given to show that the occupation of
a miner compared favorably with
most other occupations so far as
healthfulness is concerned; that the
company is deriving no benefit from
the present abnormal price of coal,
and that the company never restrict
ed the men in the number of cars
they should load.
Hits the Union.
Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-Before the
coal commission yesterday represent
atives of the Erie company testified
that since the advent of the union into

pline has resulted, that it interfered
with authority and limited the earn
ing capacity of the employees.
Cause of Restriction.

testimony presented to the commits
sion yesterday was of corrobora-
tive nature; the Erie company, which

ducing numerous witnesses to prove
that the miners union is responsible
for the alleged restriction of the
hard coal production. One witness,
William Zorn, of Dunmore, contract
miner, testified that he had been
prevented by the union from per-
forming certain contract, the driver
refusing to furnish him with suffi-
Gent number of cars.
More Evidences Against Union.

ficials were called to the witness stand
Friday, and informed the coal strike
commissioners that under the infiu-
ence of the union the mine workers re-
stricted the production of anthracite

discipline of the employees. The Erie
company, which controls the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company and the Hillside
Coal G. Iron company, closed its case
early in the day, after calling physi-
clan who testified to the good health
of the mine workers. The Scranton
