MAYORS COURT.

Dave Sanders was up Wednesday to
answer for an alleged disturbance Of
the peace last Saturday night by cut
ting Henry Slater with. a knife. He
was represented by Counsel and de-
manded trial by Jury. Entering a plea
of mot guilty" Sanders attempted to
prove self defence. 1t appears that
Slater and the defendant occupy two
adjoining shops on Liberty street
which have common entrance. San
ders was somewhat under the influence
of booze and had some words with
Peter Larkin in Sanders shop. Larkin
to avoid row took refuge in Slater's
apartment. Sanders followed with a
large hook knife open in his hand and
cursed Larkin in the presence Of Sla-
ter's wife. To this Slater objected and
told Sanders to 60 out. He put his
hand on Sanders shoulder and pushed
him towards the door. On reaching
the entrance Sanders suddenly made a
vicious lunge at Slater with the knife
and gave him a terrible cash across
shis face, which was directed at the
throat. Slater was patched up by a
doctor and Sanders was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Slater's wife.
Sanders tried to prove premeditated
assault upon him by both Slater and
Larkin, but all the circumstances and
evidence we're against him. The jury
promptly rendered a verdict of guilty,
and fine of fifteen dollars was i'm
posed and paid. The case will proba-
bly, be taken to the court Of General
Sessions.
George Richardson was sentenced to
pay ten dollars or do twenty days for
obstructing Manning avenue with a
car. George is car coupler at the a.
G. L. depot.
IPinckney Willis was sentenced to
six dollars fine or twelve days labor

gresscr's way
John Thomas, also a strange darkey,
was up for vagrancy He was found
asleep in box car, oblivious Of all the
troublesome cares of life. He was
likewise penniless and without temploy-
ment. Being an able. bodied young
fellow, and there being a demand for
labor that exceeds the supply, the
Mayor thought the charge was sus-
tained. Thomas will do fifteen days
for the city.

A South Carolina Enterprise.

There is in Sumter, S. c., a com
pany which does large and profitable
business in the manufacture Of tele-
phones and telephone supplies. It is
the Sumter Telephone Manufacturing
company. The company employees more
than 100 workmen and ships tele-
phones over the entire United States.
This seems to be the right sort Of
move in the way of diyersifying manu-
factures in the south. Instead of send
ing money ont of the south for tele-
phones, the Sumter people are turning

with George Vanderbilt's money have
been indicted. The proprietor OF
Biltmore has been something of an

has evidently made plain stealing, the

ACCIDENT ON RAILROAD.
Horse Killed, Buggy Smashed and Boy
lnsensible From Concussicn.
From the Daily Item, Oct. %.

From the Daily Item, Oct. ~.
The down train this morning from
Gibson ran over and killed the horse
and demolished the buggy Of Mr.. D.
A. Outlaw at the crossing of the rail
road and public road near St. Charles
and between that place and Black
River. Charlie Compton, aged about
II years, the adopted son of Mr.. Out
law, was driving the horse and buggy
at the time, and was knocked insen-
sible, being struck on the head, caus-
ing scalp wound and conclusion of
the brain. 1t was at first reported
that he was killed, but that proved
not to be so. He was brought to this
city on the train and taken to Dr..
Moods lnfrmary, where he is under
the care of DR.. Holman, the A. q. L..
physician.
Opiates were administered, and he
is resting quietly under the effect OF
same I; but be is still unconscious from
the shock received.
DR.. Holman is hopeful of his recov-
The boy had been with Mr.. Outlaw
and some members of his family to
the depot at Elliott, where they were
to take the train for Columbia, and
was returning to Mr.. Outlaws home
near Mechanicsville when the accl-
dent occurred. The crossing Of the
roads at the place Of the accident is
said to be in a cut, as it is near the
river, and also diagonal. The boy
and the train were travelling in the
same direction, which placed the train
behind him, so that he was no doubt
unaware of it's approach before ne
drove upon the crossing in the cut.
Mr.. Outlaw was on the train at the
time of the accident, having boarded
the train at Elliotts, and stopped over
here with the boy.
From the Daily Item, Oct. 80.
Charlie Compton, the boy who was
injured in the accident on the rail
road yesterday is doing as well as his
physician expected. He has not re-
gained consciousness yet, but his gen
eral condition is considered satisfac-
tory.
Further information in regard to
the accident by which young Compton
was hurt at the railroad crossing yes
terday near St. Charles, and which
was reported in yesterdays Item,
makes his escape from instant death
seem almost miracle. The horse was
instantly killed and the buggy torn to
atoms except the seat, which with
Compton on it was caught upon the
cowcatcher of the engine, and carried
with him for about 800 yards, until
the train was stopped. He was found
lying upon it in an insensible state.
Mr.. Joe Freeland, who was the
engineer of the train, says that the
buggy halted a moment when it reach
ed the crossing. as if it would wait,
and then moved on and was struck
with the result as before stated.
Whether the boy could not hold the
horse, or lost his own presence Of mind
is not known.
