Tomorrow, Judge Edmund Waddill will
rehear the argument Oh the recent

Brewing & Ice Company, of Virginia,
lac, to the Pittsburg bondholders at
375, 900. Attorney o. D. Bachelor. OF
this city, counsel for the general
creditors OF the plant. will again op-
nose the confirmation Of the sale Gu
the ground tina: the price offered IL
not sui5acient TO insure the payment 10
the creditors a fair percent. OF the
debts. T..
Tke argument on the sale was hrst
heard ly Judge Waddill In the Federal
Court at Norfolk several weeks ago.
The creditors opposed the confirma
tion Of the case and owing to some mis-,
understanding in the matter. the bond.
holdess did not push the sale. Judge
Waddiii ordered the receivers 70
close down the plant a. onne. and II
WINS understood that he refused TO con.
1arm the sale. hut II seems that no or.
der was entered.
Il was reported here yesterday tina!
the bOndholders and creditors had
reached an agreement In this matter
and that both sides would ask for a
60Dnrmation OF the sale by the court.
However. this report was groundless,

6ale II confirmed. the bondholders will
sell the plant to Mr.. Louis Wagner

LIGHTNING GOES DOWN CHIMNEY
House in Chester Struck by an Elec.
trio Bolt Thursday.

A dispatch from Chester, says
Mr.. T. C. Faley's house on Columbia
street was struck by lightning Thurs
day afternoon while an exciting elec-
trical storm was in progress, and it
is a wonder that very serious dam
age was not done to the building
and contents. AS it was a good-siz-
ed hole W as knocked through the
outside wall of the building, While
on the front clean aperture that
looked as If it might have been made
by missile about the size of base
ball, is to be seen.
A considerable quantity of plast-
ering was torn from the ceiling in
one Of the front rooms, and pictures
and ornaments on the mantel were
thrown far and wide, and some of
them broken and otherwise damag-
ed. The bolt seems to have struck
one of the chimneys of the house
and divided, part assing down
the chimney on the outside, while
the rest of the bolt went down the
chimney.

BLOW FROM BOTTLE FATAL.
Two Anderson Negroes Quarrel and
a killing Results.

A. peculiar homicide occurred at
Anderson Friday when Floyd Tuck
er was killed by Harvey Thompson,
both colored. Thompson was en-
ployed at the plant of the Anderson
Ice Company. Tucker visited the
plant to get a load OF ice. The two
became engaged in controversy
because one Of the blocks of ice they
were loading fell on fuckers foot.
Tucker cursed Thompson severely,
so it was said at, the. coroner's in
quest, whereupon Thomps n clinch-
ed him. They were separated, but
got together a few minutes later.
Tucker had an iron rod in his hands
and dealt Thompson two or three
blows. Thompson had a coca-cnla
bottle. in his hand and raped Tuck
er over the head three times, the
third strike shattering the bottle to
pieces. Tucker arose from the
ground where he was knocked by
Thompson and got in his wagon to
drive off Soon after getting in the
wagon he became unconscious and
was hurried to dl 6 store for at
tention. He died two hours later
without regaining consciousness.
THOMPSON is in the county jail. I"

HORRIBLE STORY.
Members Of ARTILLERY Battery Attack
ed Officer and Young Lady.

A special from Laramie, Wyo., of
Friday night says that while every
effort is being made by the authori-
ties at Camp Emmett Crawford, the
military maneuYer ground. to keep
the fact secret, 1t transpired that on
last Sunday members of an artillery
battery, assaulted young woman,
leaving her bruised and unconscious
on the ground.
According to his story non-com-
missioned officer Of the 21st Regi-
ment was escorting the young wo-
man, when the pair were attacked
by 32 men Of the artillery battery.
The officer was beaten into insensibly
with gun and the unfortunate youg
woman was dragged to an isolated
spot and mistreated.
After living half dead for hous,
the victim of the outraged crawled
to a house some distance away and
told her story. Twenty-six men alleg-
ed to have been implicated in the
outrage are under arrest and are
chained together in the camp prison.
They are under constant guard to
prevent lynching, as sentimet in the
camp is strong against them.
Six of the alleged assilats escap-
ed but three of them were appre-
hended at Rawlins Saturday. The
other three are still at large. !"

MAKES NEW RECORD.
THE LUSITANIA MAKES THE
BEST RUN VET.
Big Cunard Turbiner Crosses the At
lantic in -Four Days, Fifteen Hours
ood Tyvanty.fiva NTiu,,tes
and Twenty-Five Minutes

A dispatch from New York, say
with the best previous record for a
Transatlantic voyage lowered by
more than three hours, the Cunaro
turbine steamship Luisitanla arrived
off Sand Hook light ship at 10 o'clock
Wednesday night, having made the
run across the Atlantic over the
short course in four days, fifteen
hours and twenty-five minutes. The
Lusitania' former record, which
was also the ocean record, was four
days, and eighteen hours and forty.
minutes, the Steamer by her new
performance lowering her former
mark and the record by three hours
and fifteen minutes.
The Lusitania's previous best per-
formance was made last November,
when the short course was still IN
use. AS the season advanced the
big turbiners, with the rest of the
great liners, began using the south
ern, or long, course, to avoid dang
er from icebergs. Both the Lusitania
and her sister ship, the Mauretanla,
then began series Of record-break-
ing performances over the long route
which continued until recently, when
the vessels again sought the short
course for the fall and winter sea-
son.
Tuned up by her many fast trips
in spring and summer, the Lusltan'a
began speeding for a record7break-
ing run over sea Immediately on
leaving Queenstown, Sunday morn
ing. She passed Daunt's Rock, from
which her leaving time is taken, at
1885 that forenoon, and up to noon
had travelled at the rate Of 22.9l
miles an hour. When fairly out,
however, she struck up still smart
er pace, and in the next twenty-four
hours, up to noon on Monday, the
II, had logged the record total of
$50 knots, seven knots more than
the previous best record for days
run, made by her on July 6, last. In
doing this she had made an average
speed for the twenty-four hours OF
1856 knots. The run ending at
noon Tuesday was slightly slower,
but still high rate OF speed-63l
miles at 1921 knots an hour.
The Lusitania did not attempt to
come up the bay, anchoring outside
the bar at 1913 o'clock.

TALKS. ON TARIFF
BRYAN SPEAKS TO THE IOWA
FARMERS.
He Arraigns the Republicans For De-
manding Revision When They
Have Had Power to Revise.


w. j. Bryan delivered an exhaus-
tive speech on the tariff at Des Moin-
es, Iowa, Friday. He showed how
the Republican party has completely
abandoned the earlier arguments
for protective tariff because of "in-
faat industries" and because the
foreigner pays the tax" They
have come to demand tariff revision
Immediately after the election, when
it has been in their power for years
to make revision. He discussed at
length the action of the Paper Trust,
made possible because of the high
tariff on wood pulp and other artici-
es from which paper is made. He
sharply criticised the 100 per cent,
protection the Standard Oil is get
ting to keep out its rival in Russia.
In concluding MIR. Bryan stated
the Democratic position as follows:
1.-The Democratic party has declar-
ed for an income tax as part of the
revenue system, and for a constitu-
tionai amendment as means Of Sc
curing this tax. Secretary Taft an
nounces in his notification speech
that he is in favor of an income tax
whenever the revenues are so low as
to require it, and expresses his be-
lief that it is possible to secure such
a tax without a constitutional amend
ment. If it is possible to frame a
law which will avoid the objections
raised to the income tax law Of 1894,
we'll and good, but that is uncertain.
If an income tax is desirable, surely
Secretary Taft cannot consistently
oppose the adoption of constltu-
tional amendment. If the principle
is right and the tax wise. Congress
ought to have authority to levy and
collect such tax and no supporter
of Secretary Taft can oppose our
position without dissenting from the
Republican candidate.
"The whole aim of our party IS TO
secure Justice in taxation. We be-
lieve that each individual should con-
tribute to the support Of the govern
ment in proportion to the Dement'S
which he receives under the protec-
ton of the government. We believe
that a revenue tariff, approached
gradually, according to the plan laid
down in our platform, will equallze
the burdens of taxation, and that the
addition of an income tax will make
taxation stiIl more equitable. If the
Republican party is to have the sup
port of those who find a pecurniary
profit in the exercise Of the taxing
power as a private asset in their
business, we ought to have the sup
port of that large majority OF the
people who produce the nations
wealth flag in time of war, and ask
for nothing from the government but
even handed justice.

flames and her father, in attempt
ing to rescue her, received his in
