enough, may triumph over her.

Clemson College Income.

According to a tabulated report filed
with the State superintendent OF educa-
ton, Clemson College has spent for the
last scholastic year more than $155, ,212.
This report was filed today and it Is the
first of the series of annual statements to
be sent by the colleges of the State. The
figures are most interesting They are
given month by month and show that
Clemson is one of the richest colleges in
the South, although practically every cent
of the income is expended on account Of
the enormous attendance and the neces-
sary expense attached thereto. OF the
$155,212 expended great deal came in
from the fertilizer tax which was $118, 900
last year, and has already gone nearly
that high this year. The statement does
not give the sources of revenue but this
will be fled later.

CONDUCTOR MARSHALL SHOT.
An Outrageous Assault by Drunken Passenger
at Jackson on the C.. and W. E. Railroad.

at Jackson on the c. and ". c. Railroad.
BEAUFORT, August 26.-Last evening
on the down train from Augusta, on the
way to Beaufort, white man, named
Griffin, with his wife and daughter, to get
out at Jackson station, on the Charleston
and Western Carolina railroad, behaved
so unseemly in his intoxicated condition
and used such profane and blasphemous
language, to the annoyance of the other
passengers, that the conductor, Walter
Marshall, who is one Of the most consid-
crate and popular conductors on the road,
insisted firmly, but courteously, that he
should 60 to an adjoining car out of the
hearing of the ladies and others. Griffin
was forced to 60, and when the conductor
had removed him, he pulled out his pistol
and showed it to some of the passengers,
saying: "You see, it amt loaded, but I
will kill him. No attention was paid to
the threat, but when the train reached
Jackson Griffin stepped out and loaded
his pistol, and, while the conductor was
helping his family out of the car, he shot
him, inflicting two wounds, one in his leg
and the other higher up, both causing
bleeding. No physician being in call at
Jackson, the wounded man was taken to
Ellenton, where he was left in charge OF
a physician. DR.. Eve happened to be on
board as passenger for Beaufort, and
rendered emergency aid. The seriousness
of the wounds has not been ascertained
Great regret is expressed at the occur
renee, as Conductor Marshall has hosts Of
friends. Eyewitnesses to the affair pro-
nounce it one of the most outrageous and
unwarrantable assaults and batteries with
intent to kill that could be imagined. Il
is said that Conductor Marshall behaved
with the utmost calmness and discretion
Assaults with murderous intent npon
conductors have become quite common
lately, this being the third or. fourth oc-
currence within week.

Mary had little lamb; that time has
passed away. No lamb could follow up
the gait that Mary goes today. For now
she rides on airshod wheels In skirts too
short by half; no lambkin shares her airy
flight, but you can see her calf. But is
there one who can complain or cry in

sham, for while the other critters out

A TRAIN LOAD OF GOLD.
Five Million Dollars from Seattle Delivered at
Mint

Carefully guarded by force of trusted
men, armed with loaded Winchester rifles
says the Philadelphia Ledger, nearly 3d.
100000 in gold bullion arrived here on
Tuesday from Seattle, and is now secure
ly stored away at the United States mint
where it will be made into coin as fast as
required. So secretly were the move
ments of the shipment Of precious metal
guarded that no one but employees OF the
express company and mint knew Of its
transfer across the city, and it was denied
yesterday at the mint that the gold had
been received.
The hundreds of gold bars were stored
away in four express cars, which formed
8 special train from St. Paul to this city.
The shipment was made through the
Adams Express Company over the Penn
sylvania railroad, and the train arrived in
Broad street station early Tuesday morn
ing At the doors of each car stood two
guards, each with Winchester in his
I hands. They received the gold at st.
Paul from the Northern Pacific Express
Company, which transported it from
Seattle.
The guards who accompanied the big
shipment did not rest from the time the
train left St. Paul until the express COM
pany had received receipts from Director
Landis at the mint. When the gold
reached Broad street station the train was
sidetracked in the rear of the express
company's building, in Market street
west of sixteenth. A force of employees
carried the gold bars from the wagon, and
messenger officially delivered each
wagon load into the custody of the gov
ernment officers.
The run from Chicago to this city was
made in fast time, although without incl
dent. Few railroad employees other than
those in charge of the train knew the con
tents of the cars. Stops were made only
to change locomotives and take water
Where curious persons crowded about the
train and asked what was in the cars the
guards assured them they were only tax
ing care of 'fast horses" and few learned
of the great value of the train.

five Hundred Aliisators Live on Campbelr'
Farm.

a mountain stream tumbling down in
4 TO the valley forms chain of small shall
low lakes near Hot Springs, Ark. Three
years ago a. I. Campbell, a veteran ALI
gator hunter from Florida, conceived the
idea of inclosing these lakes and raising
big alligators for the ZOOS and circuses.
The method employed in the capture
of these creatures is an original one The
alligator has certain fayorite feeding
grounds. In the daytime he will lie mo-
! tionless in the shade for hours, resem-
bling nothing so much as floating log.
AT night he leaves the water in quest OF
food. The gator, unless disturbed, enters
and leaves the water at the same place.
"a stout rope net is suspended over one OF
these and a chunk of raw pork is hung in
the path so that the least disturbance
will cause the net to fall.
A splash, hoarse below, and large
bull who has scented the bait glides SLOW
" across the bayou and crawls slowly up
the bank. He smells the bait with a saw
age grunt of suspicion. Then the huge
jaws open and snap shut upon the tempt.
ing morsel. Like shadow the net falls
over him. Enraged, surprised, the bull
lashes out with his powerful tail.
4 But it is a useless fight, for the more
the gator struggles the tighter the hemp
en- m eshes enfold him. Then the hunter
springs ont to complete his work. The
bull is bound with ropes, turned on his
back and dragged away to the pens.
Mr.. Campbell has about 500 big alliga-
tors on his farm. Big Joe, the king of
the herd, is perhaps the largest saurian
in captivity. He is seventeen feet long
and weighs over 800 pounds. He occu-
pies pond to himself, and is only allow
ed to run with the herd in the brooding
season. He is valued by his owner at
$500, and his age is estimated at 300 years.
The reptiles are fed once in three weeks.
They consume 500 pounds of beef, fur
nished by Kansas City packing compa-
ny. During the winters the alligators
hibernate. As soon as they become stiff
with cold they are placed in tiers in a
large steam-heated shed. There the ga
tor lies without food or water, in dor
mant condition for about three months.
In the spring each one must be fed before
it is released.
The alligator very rarely becomes tame.
He lies for days sluggish and docile, but
the fishy eyes are ever on the alert for an
opportunity to attack the keeper when
his back is turned.
The COWS are kept in one large inclos-
ure. Early in June they scrape together
a nest of damp rubbish and each female
laws from fifteen to twenty eggs. The
eggs are deposited at intervals of five
days through June, July and August, and
hatch in from thirty-6ve to forty days.
The eggs are usually collected and placed
in an Incubator. No artificial heat is
needed unless the temperature drops be-
low 80 degrees.-Kansas City Star.
