Mr.. T. G. Scaffe on South Main
Street, and because he could not be
waited on at once, he made use OF vile
epithets in the presence of ladies. A
gentleman resented the insult by
throwing a can of condensed milk at
the head of the impertinenS negro,
who lodged. and the can hit Mr..
Stone. commercial salesman, with
terrific force in the forehead, infict-
ing a painful wound.
1t was thought at first that Valen-
tine had thrown the can, and in the
general mix-up that ensned, Mr..
Stone, while in a half dazed condi-
ton and holding his head, was stab
bed twice in tie back by Valentine
By that time Mr.. T. NJ Bradley was
upon the negro, who inflicted pain
ful wound in his hand and stabbed
him once in the back, besides cutting
his coat in several places. Messrs.
D. China and J. f. Reid together
with Mr.. Bradley soon overpowered
the negro and he was turned over to
the police officers. None of the

TROUBLE IN GREENWOOD.

Greenwood, August 2O.-Green-
wood county narrowly escaped anoth-
er horrible crime this morning. Bob
Faust. g, negro man of about 80 years
Of age, who has heretofore borne
good reputation, suddenly seemed to
become violently insane and an
nounced his intention to commit rape,
attacking, in turn. three different ne
gro women, and, being thWarted,
rode into the yard Of Mr.. Ben King,
one of the largest and best known
farmers in the Coronaca section Of
the county, loudly proclaiming his
purpose in foul and obscene language.
Mr.. King happened to be at his home
and ordered the negro from his prem
ises. Faust had a gun. however, and
dismounting, charged upon Mr.. King
with his gun Several negroes, heads
Of families, who had been attacked
early in the morning, were following
Faust and came upon him while he

Faust and came upon him at Mr..
Kings. The negroes who had cap
rured him were for wreaking sum-
mary vengeance on him then and
there, but the prompt appearance Of
Mr.. Bowles prevented his death. MT.
King was also convinced that the ne
gro was insane. though if he had not
been prevented as he was would have
committed an awful crime.

BOY KILLED By MOB.

Batesburg, August 20.--Dan Ether
edge, the negro bov who attempted 70
assault Loretta West, the 7-year-old
daugnt,r of MAJOR J. S...>cy West,
was shot to death by a mob about
nine miles from Summerland tonight
at O'Clock.
Etheredge was caught at Wards by
Mr.. H. G.. Wright, the correspondent
of The State at tnat place, and was
at once identified by Major West, who
was not far off when the capture was
effected. he was placed on Southern
train, No. 134. coming towards Co
lunabia ard at Summerland, just a
few miles below Batesburg, was taken
off. and carried into the woods. There
mob of about $50 men met him.
The little negro was placed in the mid
die oe the road, under 9, tree with a
rope fastened around his neck. He
was asked if he had anything to say
and if he was guilty. He said that he
was guilty, but would give no reason
for the attempt. After g parley OF
about fifteen minutes, about a doz-
en- of the posse stepped forward and
emptied their guns and pistols into
the body. The negro fell backward
literally shot to pieces While the mob
at once dispersed, going back to their
homes, tired after their long chase.
Etheredge was mite OF negro
about Is years old, according to his
fathers statement, although the boy
claimed to be only - years old. He
was thoroughly cowed when caught
and his long stay in the swamps and
woods had exhausted him SO that he
was unable to longer resist the temp
tation to give himself up and have 1t
all over with. He realized as did the
men who were hunting, that there
was no chance for escape. They had
determined to catcn him and Kill him
and the entire country was filed with
the hunters. He knew, according to
his own statement made on the way
to he place where he was shot, that
he was going to die when he was
caue md he took the whole affair
as dazed. He displayed no emo
ton when placed on a little box in
the middle Of the road and the rope
was put around his neck, although
he knew his time had come. He ad-
mitted his guilt because he knew it
was useless to deny it and made no
attempt to clear hsmself. On the
way over from the train he told one
of the members of he party that the
girl had encouraged him, but he did
not repeat this when about to die.

VALPARAISO DESTROYED.

Of Valparaiso, an army Of one hun
dred< thousand refugees facing starva-
ton in the hills, property valued at
$3.50, 100000 destroyed is the situa-
ton in the earthquake wrecked city
today. There is no food to be had in
any large quantity except from stray
ships that enter Chilean ports. The
government has ordered cruisers to
take aboard food stuffs and start i'm
mediately to the relief Of the city.
Every building in the city is damaged
and many were burned after the first
severe shocks. Martial law has been
declared. The earth continues to
tremble and the workmen are yet
afraid to clear away the debris.
Information from other affected
places tell of ruin but there is no def
mite estimate Of the loss Of life except
at Santiago where there is reported a
death list of 55. Numerous small vii
lagos are reported in ruins. All things
considered the disaster is greater than
the San Francisco catastrophe. There
is infinitely more suffering.
Eighty-two shocks occurred Thurs
day night, 800 more since then. The
great fires which ragged since Thurs
day night are gradually dying out.

Crusoe's Island Destroyed.

Lima, Peru, August 20.-Robinson
Crusoe's Island is no more is the in
formation which has reached here.
This famous island is reported to
have been wiped out of existence by
the great seismic disturbance of last
Thursday and Friday which wrought
such havoc throughout Chilli The
Island Of Defoe's castaway has always
popularly been supposed to be Juan
Fernadez, 400 miles off the Chilean
coast. The adventures Of Alexander
Selkirk, a Scotchman, who lived a
solitary existence there for four years
is regarded as having made the basis
for the tale IF Robinson Crusoe. 1t
is this island which is now supposed
to have been destroyed by terrestrial
disturbances.

Valparaiso, August 19.-At 1852
O'Clock last Thursday evening valpa-

great severity, and during that night
80 shocks were felt.
Most of the buildings Of the city
either were ruined Or damaged.
The loss will be over s250,000,000.
Two thousand persons killed is cc,.
sidered to be fair estimate OF the
casualties.

Valparaiso and having a population
of over 100000 Quirihue, 25 miles
to the southwark, with population
of $500; Quilota, 20 miles to the
northwest, with a population of TO-
600, and villages all around, were de-
stroyed.
Most of the damage was due to fire,
which started Immediately after the
first shock.
The whole population is sleeping in
the hills, the parks or the streets.
Food is very scarce. Milk costs
two Chilean dollars a liter, and it is
almost impossible to obtain meat,
even at high prices.
Tie railroads are all destroyed.
Rain, which began to fall imme-
dia asely after the first shock, stopped
an hour afterwards.
The nights are very cold and windy
and the people sleeping in the open
are suffering greatly.
The captain of steamship which
has arrived from San Francisco says
that the situation here is worse than
that following the disaster at San
