alias VIM. Duffy, an insane discharged
soldier Thursday entered the war de-

Robert J. Manning, a messenger, and
Arthur Wicker, q clerk. Miss Emma
Saxton, another clerk, barely missed
being shot through the head. The
injury to Manning is on the -jght side
Just above the kidneys and is regarded
as dangerous. Wicker was shot in
the left arm above the elbow. Before
the maniac could fire a third time he
was overpowered by JamesJ. Dawson,
q messenger. 1t required the com.
bined strength OF half dozen men to
finally subdue the man. Prominent
among them was Lieut.. Gen. Adna r.
Chaffee, chief-of-staff. The lunatic
still held the smoking weapon in his
hand when Gen. Chaffee noticed II

O'Brien or Duffy in talking tc
Charles Brandt, the chief Of the divi

from his pocket and aimed it directly

Saxton and fired. She, too, lodged

The Aiken correspondent Of The
News and Courier says when Benjamin
Buford, the white man>found guilty
of manslaughter in killing the negro,
Larry Blackmore, was presented be-
fore Judge Purdy for sentence, he was
asked by his honor if he had anything
to say why sentence of the court
should not be passed upon him. Buford
replied; Nothing your honor, and
held up the lapel of his coat, on which
was pinned the emblem Of the Masonic
Fraternity. lie had previously given
4 sign, which Judge pnrdy, being Il
Mason, did not fail to recognize. The
man s object was evident and Judge
Purdy strenly said: That badge can
do you no good here. You are not tit
to wear it. Throw it away. You
have violated all that is good and
noble that emblem represents, and YOU
are no brother of mine. The sentence
of the court is that you Shall serge
twelve years in the state penitentiary
at hard labor. You can thank your
counsel for saving your neck.

e Ho'1 TIME.
Grover Cleveland Charged With Din
ing With a Negro Man.

There was q red hot debate in the
house on Monday, During which Mr.,
Scott asked Mr.. Gilbert if he did not
know that negro dined at the White
House during President Cleveland's
first administration, to which Mr..
Gilbert replied that the Democrats
were not particularly claiming Mr..
Cleveland, and that he was not q first
class Democrat.
Mr.. Scott then said that c. IL. j.
Taylor, a negro from Georgia, was
brought to Washington and .waa
taken to the White House when Mr..
Cleveland invited him to dine with
him, which invitation he said, was
accepted.
MIR. Scott drew contrast between
Washington and Tay lor, saying the
former was man OF recognized abil-
ity and had been the guest OF distin-
guished people at home and abroad,
including Queen Victoria, and declar-
ed that the later had nothing to com
mend him save the claim that he car
ried the Democratic negro vote in his
pocket. lie said further that Taylor
had been appointed to position in
Washington. And by Cleveland ~
suggested voice on the Republicap
side.
Continuing, Mr.. Gilbert said that
In the Spanish war there were Gener-
al Miles, commanding general of the
army; Admiral Dewey at Manila, Ad-
miral Schlcy, Generals, Lee, Wheeler
and Bell, all Of whom were Demo
Gratis. On the other side he said there
was member of the Republican cab
met accused of sending embalned beef
to the soldiers. Then" he said,
there was Republican horse doctor
sent TO Cuba who was accused of be.
friending the gamblers and lawbreak-
ers"
He referred to the conviction OF
Rathbone and Neely and alluded to
General Funston, who, he charged,
had violated the rules of civilized war
fare in wearing the uniform OF an
enemy IN the capture OF Aguinaldo.
He next referred to General Davis,
who" he said, sold rice and other
provisions to starving natives at enor-
nous profits"
The Republicans had promised to
destroy trusts, declared Mr.. Gilbert,
but they now had bill 10 the senate
making lawful all reasonable trusts
and repeating the imprisonment
clause Of the Sherman law as to crimi-
nails"
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.) discussing Cana
dim reciprocity, said he had been un.
able to find, after exhaustive research,
single, solitary argument which
would justify the negotiation of a re-
clprocity treaty between the United
States and Canada. .-.-.4--.,
MIR. Williams (Miss.) responding to
MIR. Dalzell, asked the majority why
they did not pass the Kasson treaties
which, he said, represented Mckinley
reciprocity.

DcnlIY Brass Pin.

special dispatch from Marion to
The State says Mrs. E. b. Foxworth
is dead as the result of picking fever
blister with brass pin. She was
apparently in good health when a
small blister appeared on her lip and
she picked it with pin, after which
it festered and blood poisoning fol-
lowed. She suffered great deal until
death relieved her. Mr. Foxworth
was Miss Lcola Baker, daughter of
Mr.. R. B. Baker, and lived in the
Centenary neighborhood, about II
miles from Marion. She was noble
hearted, Christian woman. Her unex-
pected death has cast a gloom over the
community and caused sorrow in many
hearts.
