j. Fuller Lyon, bond clerk In the

of the Investigation caused sensa'

general, in reporting to the State

''Tne examination reveals the fact
that the bond clerk during the period
in which these transactions appear

on tie books the numbers OF certain

has distracted bonds pre- viously can

There are now two ends to the

the other end is the securing Of the
money lost by the State. There is
some disposition to eriticise the legis-

functory examinations of the books
in the State treasurer's Office but
these committees are not under bond

A dispatch from Washington says
President Roosevelt has completely
flunked on bis championship Of the
rate-making bill. So seems to be the
general impression in Washington
among those who knew Of his having
sent for forty newspaper correspon-
dents, Friday afternoon, mostly re-
presenuatives of Republican papers.
He informed them that he would
stand to the amendment agreed upon
by the Aldrich element. This is
known as the Allison amendment and
calls for the broadcast possible court
review Of the rates fixed by the inter
state commence commission, against
which review all the fight, in the
senate or most of it has been directed.
Up till Friday tn; president has stood
out persistently in favor OF limited
court review. He denies now that he
has surrendered, but claims that his
advocacy of the Allison amendment Is
In accord with his private views and
the very thing he has been striving
for. Exactly how he will be able to
Justify this claim Is best known to
himself. He says he, Is consistent

that the people will be fooled.
S nator Bailey, who has led the
fight against the Aldrich GRO I'd, says
the Allison amendment Is the broad
est court review provision that could
be drawn, and Senator Tlllman thinks
that the Republicans will Aow let up
on it to a man. Tillman says he sees
no reason why they cannot jlst pass
the bill Monday, for the Democrats

A few hours before 81 freight cars
had been wrecked at Union furnace,
on the middle division, twenty miles
east OF that city and all trains were
being run around Altoona over the
cutoff. The Ohicsgo mail left that
city on time and went as far as Ty-
rome, where it was GENT back to go
over the cut off. The Chicago and
St. Louis express was sent east from
Huntington on the cut-of and the
two trains met at Springfield, where
there Is but one track. The cause Of
the disaster Is said to have been .
misunderstanding Of orders by the
operator at Springfield Junction.
Physicians have been sent from Al
toona.
The railroad officials at Huntington
and williamsburg have recsiVed a re-
port that both locomotives, the ex-
press and mail cars and passenger
coaches are completely demolished.
Oae Of the trains was running re-

in this coach, and it Is reported that
all are either dead or wounded. The
railroad officials say 1t will be- impos.
sible to tell the exact details Of the
accident until Saturday morning as
several people are pinned under the
wreckage. A special has been sent
from there to bring in the dead and
injured, but it will not arrive until

SHOT IT QUE.
Two Young Men Tried to Kill Each

The Columbia State says a sensa.
tional Shooting affair between DR..
Rowland z; Smith, formerly OF Co.
lumbia, and Mr.. T. q. Brown, Q well
known lumber man of Chaplin. occurr-
ed at that pace Thursday morning.
Both men, 1t is said, emptied their
guns at each other, but neither OF
6hem was hit. The shooting occurred
as the train from Laurens over the Co.
lumbia, NeWberry and Laurens rail-
road was leaving the staJion, and 1t is
alleged to be the result of the rela
tions between DR.. Smith and the wife
of Mr.. Brown.
It is said by those who saw the
shooting that Dr.. SniGW was boarding
the train on 1t way to Columbia when
Mr.. Brown opened fire on MIN from
the side of the track. The doctor dash.
ed into the baggage car and returned
the fire through the door. The passen
gers on the train were greatly alarmed
by the firing, but no one was hurt.
DR., Smith continued on the train
and came as far as Irmo, where he
stopped, and, it is said, went back
through Chaplin on the next train
in that direction aud went on IN the
direction of Laurens. Mrs. Brown left
Chapin on the night before the shoot
ing and, went from there to Laurens.
Rumor has it that the names OF DIR.
Smith and Mrs. Brown have been CON
nected py gossip for some time, but
that on Wednesdsy they were seen
together walking In the woods and 1t
was this and the subsequent departure
Of Mrs. Brown that brought the mat
tor to q crisis Thursday.
The affair was reported to President
Childs OF the Columbia, NsWberrv and
Llurense railroad soon after the srriv
al of the train in this city. Mr. Onilds
investigated the matter carefully and
announced Thursday afternoon that
he would place the case In the hands
of the attorney for the company with
aview to having both parties arrested
for firing into and from the train. He
was indignant that the passengers on
bis road should have been submitted
to this danger, and seems determined
to bring the case into the courts.
DR.. Smith is a son of Capt. @. M.
Smith of Columbia, the local agent OF
the Atlantic Coast line. He is about
% years OF age and is married man
Mr.. Brown is from Virginia and is
connected with the lumber mill OF

authorities is respectfully called to
the nuisance that is maintained nearly
the year round on what is known as
The Spa road, leading from Annapo-
lis to Bay Ridge and the Old South
River Ferry. The woods along this
road in the neighborhood of Salem
Church are used as a dumping ground
for nearly all the dead animals that
are taken out from Annapolis, until
the thing has become a nuisance, ami
almost unbearable. Nearly this
whole Summer there has been sick
ening smell coming from these woods,
that at times has been a menace to
the health of those who are compelled
to use this thoroughfare. Whether
the property is used for this base
purpose with the consent of the
property owners. we are unable to
say, but it has reached that point
when complaint has become neces-
sary. There surely must be some
law which eompels the burying of
dead bodies-eertainly they should
not be permitted along the public
highway. The Advertiser.
