Murder in WILLIAMSON.

Williamson, November 2i.-This
afternoon young negro man, giving
his name as Asia Chapman, came into
town in quest of Magistrate X. V. Ack-
cr, and upon finding that officer in
formed him that he had shot Walker
Williams, on the farm of 51r. J. G..
Rogers, three miles in the country,
and that ne desired to surrender him
self to the magistrate for protection.
The negro waa promptly locked up ia
!; coi. az tho guard house tc- safe
Keeping, and there he languishes to-
night under the charge Of murder, for
not only did his story of the shooting
prove true, but very soon after Chap
mans arrival here news came from
Rogers' farm that his victim was dead,
and only lived few minutes after re-
ceIvinR the fatal wound in the region
of the heart.
When seen i'll the guard house this
afternoon the young murderer appear
ed ptnltcnt and to appreciate the enor-
nifty of his crime. He realized that ne
was safer behind the bars than out in
the community where he seems to have
taken the life of man without suffi-
clent excuse to justify his conduct
From the story as gathered by your
correspondent in personal interview
with Chapman, and from what eye
witnesses 30 the killing have to gay, it
appears that the two men had a quar-
rel on account of Williams having
gone hunting this morning with pis-
tol which belonged TO Chapman, who
boarded with Williams and worked on
the same farm with him. When Chap
man came in from the field for dinner
and found that Williams had been USE
ing his pistol, and had used three of
his cartridges. he called Williams to
task about taking such liberties with
his property. Both parties became en-
ragged finally and Williams faced his
antagonist, who still held the revolver
IN his hand. The family OF the de-
ceased man began to scream "don't
shoot him." when Chapman Ievelied
his pistol and fired. after which he
surrendered. Chapman says that when
the women began to scream don't
shoot" he thought that Williams was
in the act Of shooting him, and he fired
to save his own lifo. However, before
an intelligent jury of citizens, such as
can be easily found in Anderson Coun-
tty, it will be little difficult to work
the "self-defence" racket 30 we'll in @

An Interesting Occasion.

About year ago Mr.. A. II. Osborne,
one of the survivors of the Palmetto
Riflemen, the first Company that went
to the front from Anderson at the nc-
ginning of the Civil War, conceived
the idea of collecting all the portraits
of the officers and privates of the
Company and having them framed.
lie, with others of the old Company,
have been lndustriOusly at work for
several months, and their efforts have
at last been crowned with success.
The total enrolment of the old Com
pany was 145, and of this number por-
traits were secured Of 1873, leaving only
twelve that were not represented
On Friday night the interesting
ceremony of presenting this collection
10 the local militcry company, which
Palmetto Rifemen, took place at the
Armory: Tho collection has been
mounted in handsome frame, and
Will hereafter occupy q conspicuous
place on ths walls of tho Armory.
Hon. q. +. Tolly, survivor of the
0id Company, presided, and introduced
Col: James A. Hoyt, of Greenville, tho
orator OF the occasion. Col. Hoyt call
ed attention to the fact that the history
of the Company had been prepared by
MIN twenty years ago, and was after
wards published in pamphlet form. 1t
was, we believe, first given IN an ad-
dress at Reunion of tho Company ut
Keys Springs, near the city. The
speaker did not. therefore. attempt to
give @ history of the old Company.
He spoke feelingly of the courage and
fOrtitude of the members Of the Com
pany. Their record in war was splen-
did. Thirty men were killed in battle
or mortally wounded, and 1S were
wounded, making total of los.
Lieut.. Henderson accepted tho Dor
trait on behalf of the new Company,
and said that his Company would al
ways sacredly preserve the gift and
would try to live up to the hish stand
ard set by the old Company. CAPT.
McCuily also said few words in the
same spirit as Mr.. Henderson. Talks
OF reminiscent nature were made by
w. a. hammond and w. A. FAINT.
both veterans and members of the old
Company.
The exercises were brought to a close
Dy Mr. FOLLY, who thanked the new
Gompeny fer adopting the name of the
old, and said that he felt confident
that the name and reputation of the
':id Palmetto Rifiemen would be worth
,ly upheld.

the complainants to have come from
Buffalo a year ago. He had, so he
declared, patent ON a carbon engine,
especially adapted to railroads, as he
maintained, would save rs per cent OF
the present cost of fuel
About three months ago Reynolds
alleges Conger procured from him a
loan of $40 by telling the following
story:
my aunt, Mrs. Uphan, is expected
home from Europe in few days. She
and are joint trustees of the estate
of her husband, who was president

and upon investigation later found
there was no such box of securities as
Conger described and that the express

TO DISPELL DOUBTS.
Autopsy Is Held on Body of Chicago
Millionaire Contractor.

Chicago, Oct. 30-In order to dis.
pei doubts that had arisen regarding
the true nature of the illness which
caused the death of H j. Sexton, the
millionaire contractor, on Wednesday,
an autopsy has been held at the resi-.
dence in Michigan avenue.
Vague rumOrs had been floating
about during the time subsequent to
Mr.. SeXton's death to the effect that
arsenical poisoning was indicated in
the patients symptoms and in the ap.
pearance of the body after death.
Neither the widow nor the sons, two
Of whom survive, placed any credence
in the rumors, but to set them at rest
they arranged for a post mortem ex-
animation. This was to make clear
the cause of death as deterioration of
the spinal chord, attended by neuratHe
MIA and anemae had developed.
The quickness with which the col,
lapse came finally is thought to have
given rise to the baseless rumors.
