Clemson Commandant Chosen.

Washington, August 3.--Assurance
was given the News and Courier corre-
spondent to-day at the War Department
that by the detailing of Capt. Josiah @.

military science and tactics at Clemson
College, which has just been done, all
trouble at that place over the "Clay" re-
port at an end, and that everything
henceforth will be carried on there, SO
far as the Government is concerned, as
If Capt. Clay had made no report.
As already stated In the News and
Courier, Capt Clay, then detailed at
Clemson, became angry just before the
last commencement at the action OF
some of the students, and wanted the
diplomas of the graduating class with
held. This the faculty refused to do.
He then made a detailed report to the
War Department recommending that all
guns and other equipment. the property
of the Government, be called in and that
no military instructor be sent there in
his place afte;' his detachment. That
was just after commencement.
Nothing further was done in the mat
ter until President Nell, q. Duncan Bel
linger, Allan Johnston and w. D. Evans,
of the board of trustees, came to Wash
ington few days ago, and took up the
matter with the War Department. They
were assured that everything would be
made all right, and the detailing of Capt.
Minus seems the last chapter concerning
the much!talked.of Clay report.
Capt. Minus Is a Citadel graduate aud
also graduate of the West Point Mill
tary Academy. BE was born in Texas,
and was appointed from South Carolina
as second lieutenant in the Goth Infantry
In February, 1895. He has seen seven
years service in the Philippines.

AUBURN MYSTERY NOT SOLVED
SsWoman in Black" IL shot at Many
Times, but Continues TO
PrOyyI.

AUBURN, Neb., March 2S.-(speoiaL)-
The mysterious woman in black con-
tinues 20 make her nightly appearances on
the streets of Auburn, soaring men, women
and children alike by her weird appearance
and strange actions. Shots are frequently
heard which have been fired by some one
who has been confronted by the queer
npparition. Some Of the young folks take
the matter in a less serious light, and have
played practical jokes based on the woman
in black mystery, and these have caused
considerable sport for those interested. 1t
IS the general belief that the woman in
black" is probably some young man himself
playing what he deems a practical joke
and some OF the citizens have vowed that
II they catch him they will teach him a
lesson that will put an end to his practical
Joking for the time being. They look on 1t
as small business for any one to prowl
the streets at night in this kind of dis
guise There is serious danger that some
innocent person moving about the city may
be shot and killed some dark night by
some person whose fears override their
good reason.
