THE CONFEDERATE ROLLS.
Col. TrihhIe and Gov. GandIsr Score a
Point against Secretary Root.
TO GO BEFORE CONGRESS
Ia Getting up Rolls For confed-

are Exacted Under Present
Law.

Columbia. S. c., June 2L-Col. NJ.
P. Tribble of Anderson who has been
appointed by Governor Hayward to
collect the Confederate rolls Of this
state for the war department., reports
considerable progress made SO far in
his work. Col. Trihble has appointed
an assistant, Mr.. T. j. Pyles, and
recently issued letter to the various
Confederate camps calling for the rolls
which resulted in many being sent in
The great trouble, however, is that
the act as passed by congress CALI

commissioners for the various southern
states have all made it clear to Secre-
tary Root and Brigadier General Aims
worth, who is doing the work for the
war department, that securing any
thing like complete roster from the
original rolls is out of the question as
many of them were destroyed by the
northern armies on their raids through
the south and many regiments after
the second year of the war did not keep
hardly any record OF enlistments. On
the other hand the northera troops
kept records and short histories of
every man enlisted and they have no
difficulty IN turning these over to the
war department at once. Governor A.
D. Gambler of Georgia, and Col. Trlb-
ble took the matter MP with Secretary
Root and the latter advised them to
90 ahead with the work, getting up
the rolls where they could and where
these were not obtainable to secure
copies or information from officers
who have sarvived. Secretary Boot
advised ex-GoV. Candler to take the
matter up with the other commission
ers and at the next session Of congress
have the word original struck out
of the act
Considerable correspondence has
passed bteween Messrs. Tribble and
Gambler, as Georgia and South Caro-
lima have more srouble with their rolls
than the other southern states, and
these commissioners along with COM
missioner Ovens of Alabama and Cosn-
missioner Dixon OF North Carolina
will meet shortly and memorialize
congress along the lines suggested by
Secretary Root.

THE DELAWARE LYNGHIRG.
Morbid Curiosity of Crowds Of
Sight-Seers.

Wilmington, Del, June 23.-The ex-
citement attending the tragedy enacted
last night outside the city limits,
where George White, negro ravisher
and murderer of the seventeen-year-
old girl, Helen S. Bishop, was burned
at the stake, has subsided. Public
sentiment appears to deplore the resort
to mob violence, but the consensus OF
opinion is that summary vengeance
alone could atone for the
brutal outrage, upon the life and
honor of the young girl. 1t
is generally believed that had the
Courts brou ght the murderer to speedy
trial last nights tragedy would have
been averted. It is not known as yet
what action the State authorities will
take. Governor Hum says he will
confer with Attorney General Il. H.
Ward. The latter made brief state
ment tonight, and he said the State
will await the result of the coroner's
inquest, and that every effort will be
exerted to ascertain the names Of the
Iynchers. The coroner has not fixed
the date for the inquest.
Deputy Coroner Killmer, who visit
ed Prices Corner, the scene of the.
lynching, found little to view. All
semblance Of the human in Whites
body had been obliterated by the
avenging fire and the morbidly curious
relic hunters. A small portion of the
trunk and one or two charred bones
we're recovered and taken to the.
moreue. Of the hundreds of people who
visited the spot where the funeral pyIe
was lighted, scarcely one left without
some ghastly memento. One man
carried away a foot that had rot been
consumed fragments of clothing,
piece Of wood, cinders and any article
that bore mute testimony OF the mob $
work were eagerly sought.
One arrest was made tonight by
State Detective Francis. The
prisoners name was not divulged by
the police, but it is said he is charged
with having been party to the lynch
ing. The police officials have little to
say regarding the affair. 1t is said that
State and city detectives were IN the
crowd last night and recognized some
of those who participated in the burn
ing. Other arrests, it is believed will
follow. During the show of resist
ance by the police and Jail officials
when the mob attacked the Newcastle
County work house, Peter Smith a
twelve -year-old boy. was shot IN the
back. The bullet which struck him
evidently came from pistol in the
crowd, as it is claimed by the prison
warden that his guards fired over the
heads of the lynchers. Smiths condl-
tion is critical and he is not expected to
live. Another young man, whose rame
is unknown, was slightly injured.

The Anti-typhoid Serum.

Dr.. Chantemesse. the chief exponent
Of anti Typhoid incubation in France,
has prepared series of comparative
statistics showing the results of treat
ment by ordinary methods at the Paris
hospitals and the results Of treatment
by anti-typhoid serum at the fever
hospital under his care. His figures
show that in the Paris hospitals the
mortality from typhoid fever over a
period of twenty months was 19 per
cent. In the same period the mortality
at the Chantemesse Hospital was only
81 per cent. DR.. Chantemesse's in
oculatory methods have also been tried
at the naval hospital at Toulon. OF
III typhoid cases in which the Chan
temesse serum was used 13 succumb-
ed. This result is less favorable than
that obtained under the personal su-
pervision of DR.. Chantemesse-though
it is better than that achieved by the
ordinary methods of the Paris hos
pitaIs-but the smaller degree of sue
cess is explained as being due to less
intimate knowledge of the proper doses
to give in individual cases.
A comparison made by DR.. Chan
temesse with the mortality in the Ger
man army last year from typhoid is
considerably in his favor. From be-
ginning to end some eight hundred
cases have been treated by the Chan
temesse typhoid serum, and the NOR
tality was less than per cent. In
the German army last year there were
999 casesof typhoid and 81 deaths, or
about 911s per cent.-New York Times.

IRISH Immigration.
Those That Came in a Rush Fifty
Years Ago Suffered Hardships.

Writing in Donohoe's, about the
Irish population in this country, Ed
ward F. McSweeney says: When the
!! Irish began to come to the United
States in large numbers, about fifty
years ago, New England was beginning
to branch out from an agricultural into
the manufacturing and commercial
centre of the country. The Yankee
farmer was changing to business
man; he NEEDED labor. The Germans
pushed inward as far as their means
would allow, to take up holdings for
themselves. when possible. If they had
any money at all they did not desire to
become laborers or farm hands. The
Irish were fleeing from a famine.
With them it was not question Of
buying land; most of them had moth
ing but their hands and sincere
willingness to work at anything that
was offered. The hardships of the
voyage and the cost of transportation
did not permit any but the strongest
to come. The sufferings Of the i'm
migrants of that early period have never
been fully told. The emigrant path
across the Western plains in those days
was marked by the whitening bones of
animals, and the rude crosses and
headstones of those who succumbed to
the hardships of the journey. If the
ocean path could be marked in like
manner, vessels would travel between
continuous line of monuments form
ing an avenue of death between here
and Europe. Those who survived be-
gan at the bottom; they entered every
field Of labor, and under the guiding
Yankee brain and enterprise made Mas
sachusetts what she was from 1860
until 1890.
It was not easy sailing. Religion
and racial prejudices were strong.
| They have not wholly disappeared yet.
AS result of the coming of the Irish
"Knownothingism' made itself felt
in the early sos. The Irish peasants,
delighted with the liberty they found
here, attempted to assume all the
duties of citizenship; many joined the
militia. A sKnownothing" Governor,
ia 1855, disbanded the militia in order
to get rid of the Irish. Happily,
when the need came, in 1861, this
/ temporary insanity had burned itself
4 out, and the War Governor welcomed
1 with a glad heart the Irish volunteers,
4 who literally poured into every regi-
ment sent to the front. Two of the
regiments were so distinctly Irish that
the State permitted them to carry the
flag of their mother country. Thus
it was that the Sunburst" foated in
companionship with the Stars and
Stripes above the bayonets of the fam
Gus 9th Massachusetts, volunteers and
the equally famous 2Sth, the Faugh-
a-BallaGghs. %

| SILVER king FALLS

Gambler Well Known Here Con.
yicted in Georgetown---LocaI
Sports Have "Chipped in"

"Silver King" is in trouble. Nearly
everybody around Columbia knows
sSiiver King the dapper little
gambler, who was so conspicuous be-
cause of his almost snowy locks, so
much at variance with his quick tread
and his bright eye, from which have
not departed the fire of youth and the
excitement Of the game.
ssSilyer King'' is in trouble, but
the sporting fraternity of Columbia
will get him out. The "gams'' were
out yeterday taking up collection for
their fellow, venerable in appearance
yet evidently unlike the proverb OF
Soloman, "Wisdom is the gray hair
unto men and an unspotted life is old
age.o For had "Silver King'' been
wise, he would not have run through
with what he had, but would have
saved little bit for rainy day.
The following from the Georgetown
correspondence of The State yester-
day tells the tragedy of Silver King"
"True bills were found by the
grand jury against "Silver King, - ,
alias Hugh Flynn, j. NJ. Cannon and
Mike Room, all white men, for
violations of the dispensary law. The
punishment inflicted by the jury was
severe in these cases and should be a
warning to others who may be engaged
in the "blind tiger" business here.
The sentence was fine of $500 or IA
months imprisonment in each in
stance. +"
Whatever else may be said of gam.
blers, they are impulsive and gener-
Gus in way, and when they saw that
their old associate was in trouble, from
which he could not extricate himself,
they Immediately passed around the
hat.
Columbia cannot proudly claim
"Silver King" as one of her sons, for
he has played star engagements in
Charleston and other towns, and when
the news of his misfortune was passed
around the ''gams" there chippd in
to help him out.
Five hundred dollars fine, and for
violating the dispensary law! It was
almost past belief. In Charleston,
Sumter and Columbia enough was
raised yesterday to guarantee "Silver
King'' his liberty, after contributions
have come in from the "perfesh'' in
Augusta and Savannah.

Of course 20 gambling is done in
Columbia, except among negroes, II
of whom were run in Saturday night,
but there nevertheless appears to be a
