Skaters Drowned.

At Washington, d. c., while large
crowd was skating on the basin near
the Washington monument Thurs
day evening the ice suddenly gave
way and precipitated twenty or more
persons in the water. Three persons
lost their lives. There were probable
two thousand persons skating on the
basin at the accident. A hot water
pipe from the engine room OF the
Washington monument empties IN
the basin near where the ice gave
way. The skaters had been warned
that the location was a dangerous
one, but it is said they disregarded
the advice given them to stay away
from the vicinity and when the crash
came fully thirty men and women
went through the broken ice and into
the water. All were rescued except
the TWO whose bodies subsequently
recovered.

The following statement was fur
nished the press BY Col. J. H. Tillman
in response to an offer from a New
York paper that its columns were
open to hira.
II thank you for your courteous
and kind telegram 10 view OF the facts
that the dispatches sent cut from Co
lllmbia eminated frcm the office OF
The State newspaper, OF which Mr..
Gonzales was editor. I do not deem
it necessary to deny anything that has
been sent from that quarter. l can
only say that when the truth of the
unfortunate affair is known my friends
as we'll as the people Of the country
will see how thoroughly I was justi-
tied in acting as I did. The state
ments already published in the papers
are untrue and at the proper time this
| will be prepared to show. Beyond
this I do not care to make any further
statement. James H. Tillman.
In commenting on the above the
Columbia correspondent of The News
and Courier says the understanding is
that Col. Tillman's line OF defense will
be that he thought Mr.. Gonzales was
armed and that ne had weapon in
mis- coat pocket and that be had bis
hands in his coat pocket. He is said
10 contend that he had every reason
to believe that Mr. Gonzales was arm
ed and that he ought to have been,
even if he was not. The correspond
ent further says Mr. Gonzales was not
armed. Mr.. Tillman will also, it is
understood, contend that he had not
met Mr.. Gonzales before. This
isalso denied, and it is said
that Tillman and Gonzales were
in the Senate chamber and State cap
itol together. The correspondent
closes his comment by saying that it
is admitted that Mr.. Gonzales sent no
message; that he was quietly on bis
way to his dinner; that he was alone;
that he was unarmed: that he said
nothing TO provoke hostilities and
that Lieut. Gov. Tillman met Mr..
Gonzales and promptly fired into him
is equally CLEAR. What there was in
the mind of the asSailant is another
question.
