Weds to Qualify Wife as Citizen.

New York, July 29.-Because the
board of immigration refused to al
low his sweetheart, Matilda Kuhl-
mann, to land in the United States
Henry Thons, a prosperous farmer,
of San Antonio, Texas, sails with her
to-day for Bremen on the vessel on
which she is being deported.
While Thons was in Hanover, Ger
many, he met the young lady and
proposed marriage. He was accepted,
and when it was found that legal for
malities would require several weeks
before they could be married, they
sailed for this country, intending to
be married here. But the immigra-
ton authorities do not approve of the
landing of unmarried women here,
and as they have recently become
very strict, they would not even per-
NIT Thons to marry her here so that
she could enter the country. Thons,
therefore, purchased transportation
on the ship on which she is being de-
ported, and when they arrive in Ger
many they will be married and then
come to this country to live on
Thons's Texas farm.

Preacher Favors Dispensary.

"Prohibition-a Force or Farce, y
was the subject of an able discourse
last Sunday night by the Rev. DR..
Howard L. Jones, at the Citadel
Square Baptist church, Charleston; in
which the minister advised his con-
gregation to support the dispensary
at the election next month, as he in
tended to do, as under the existing
circumstances of the blind tigers
working for prohibition, the cause
of temperance would be given a set
back, and the lesser Of the two evils
was to be preferred.
It was bold position for DR.. Jones
to take. He is at heart strong pro-
hibitionist and recently spoke in ia
vor of prohibition in Berkeley coun-
ty. He will deliver several other
speeches in support of prohibition
during the present campaign, and for
this reason, his advocacy Of the dis
pensary in Charleston county, as op-
posed to prohibition, is doubtless the
more significant, and his support Of
the dispensary will doubtless WELD a
great influence in the election. In
taking the position in favor of the
dispensary for Charleston county, DR..
Jones made it clear that he did so
because he thought this system Of the
regulation of the liquor traffic is bet
ter for the cause of morality.

Memphis, Tenn, July 2S.-The re-

neck wedged between the pickets of
a fence, the body of William LEM,
aged As years, for thirty years a
coachman for August F. Gallun, a
rich tanner, was found in front Of
his employers residence yesterday.
LEM evidently had been strangled.
The head projected between the
pickets and the arms were resting
upon the fence. The knees had crum-
pied from under, leaving the body
suspended by the neck.
The police say he probably leaned
over the fence to rest for a while, fell
asleep and as his throat caught be-
tween the pickets, slowly strangled.

Horse Cuts Its Throat.

On last Tuesday morning Mr.. T. w.
Dukes lost very fine mare by being
snagged to death on a stump.
It seems that Mr.. Dukes rode the
horse down to one of his fields and
on the way was frightened by huge
moccasin that ran across the road in
front. The horse thereon jumped
quickly to one side of the road and
struck it's head on a sharp stump
that was close to the road side. 1t
was snagged in the neck, and bled
to death in a. few minutes before any
aid could be secured or anything done
for the suffering animal. The horse
was a very valuable one and was
worth over 5000. This loss is very
heavy on Mr.. Dukes for such an ami

Prohibition in the South.

On the main line of the Southern
railway from Washington to New Or
leans there is not a town or city in
which a man can buy glass Of beer
legitimately. But if the train tarries
for half an hour, almost anywhere,
he can refresh himself and take
something along to refresh himself
again before reaching his destination.
From his seat in the Pullman car he
package of any size in almost every
way station filled with kegs, cases,
demijohns and jugs, for the shipment
of liquor into the desert is the big in
dustry to-day. The same traveller, II
his name is John Smith, can find a
package of any sizez in almost every
express Office. AS most Of It is ship
ped C. O. D. he can pay, sign and
take it. The conditions are far from
ideal, but the saloon has been voted
out by the people or the legislature
without regard TO consequences.
Meanwhile there is the usual amount
Of drinking on the part of those who
can afford it and who know how.
Seeing the opportunity which would
be offered, brewers began to work
day and night to supply the demand
for near beer, which Is supposed to
contain less than 2 per cent. Of alco-
hol. But in the near beer saloons,
almost without exception, the real
article is sold. Practically every
dealer has a United States license,
and most Of them will mix drink of
whiskey or else serve it straight

FLIES STOPPED A TRAIN.
Peculiar Cause that Brought an En-
CINE in Canada to a Standstill.

A few days ago the Grand Trunk
flyer going East was in hard luck,
says the Baltimore American. At
Napenee the steam box on the big
engine got over worked, or some
thing, and refused to continue the
Journey. The timely arrival of a
freight train helped. The cars were
shunted to the siding and the freight
engine brought into commission on
the express, taking it as far as
Brockville, when another large en-
gine was secured.
Now comes the peculiar part o.
the troubles of that train. When
about 20 miles out of Cornwall it
ran into a sea of peculiar flies. There
were millions of them-perhaps bill
lions, but the train was going so
fast it was impossible to count them.
The cars became quite dark as the
train plowed through the mass of in
sects, and then the train came to an
other sudden stop. The engine was
full of flies. The little things were
ground into a mass in the driving
rod. They were in everything on the
engine.
The train had been plowing
through the flies at a mile minute
for several miles. The track was
covered with crushed insects and the
engine wheels baked at going round
on it. After little persuasion and
lot of cleaning up, the train went
upon it's way again.
On arrival at Montreal the engine
presented a truly curious spectacle.
The bars of the cowcatcher were fill
ed right up with flies. On the front
of the engine they were several
innches thick.

Don't Want Negro Troops.

Washington, July 2S.-A howl has
reached the war department here,
coming from the wilds, If wilds they
be, of Vermont, over the quartering
of a troop of negro soldiers at Fort
Ethan Allen. The citizens Of that
section, which is in the immediate vi
cinity of the city of Burlington, are
very much incensed that the colored
troops should be sent there. They
have been quick to criticize, when
ever possible, the South's attitude to-
ward the negro, and to express be-
lief in various forms Of equality"
but it makes a great deal of differ
ence, it seems, when the question is
really brought home to them.
Reports are that the white people
of Burlington refuse to patronize
restaurants at which the colored
troops are served, and there is con-
siderable comment in favor Of separ-
ate cars for the accommodation OF
such of the twelve hundred troops as
may desire to use the trolleys. The
city of Burlington recently had a IL
quor election, and voted "wet." This
has not added to the satisfactory con-
dition of affairs, now that the color
ed troops are on hand, as they are
not unlike troops of another color in
the use of intoxicants sometimes.
But there is not likely to be any
relief from the war department for
the long distance philanthropists Of
Vermont who have preached race
equality for the South, and the peo-
pie around Fort Ethan Allen are
likely to learn more of the race ques-
ton in the next few months than
they have learned in the past hun
dred years, and to preach less about
it as well.

TRAIN WRECK NEAR FLORENCE.
Serious Accident Narrowly Averted
on Coast Line.

Florence, July 30.-Atlantic Coast
Line "Shoo Fly passenger train No.
4S, from Orangeburg and Sumter,
was wrecked just about one mile
south of the city limits as it was near
ing Florence to-day at l o'clock.
The train, in charge of Engineer
Capelle and Conductor Walter J. Nor
gan, was speeding along at 40-mile-
an-hour rate, having just passed over
Jeffreys creek trestle. At the road
crossing, just this side of the creek,
one of the brake beams under the
front truck of the baggage car went
down and derailed the front truck.
The train was running at such a
speed that it was impossible for the
engineer to slack up, and the derailed
car, with its wheels on the ties, ran
for more than four hundred yards
that way. The result was that the
track was badly torn up the entire
distance, and the car came very near
turning turtle in the ditch. Had it
gone over very serious wreck would
have been the result, and no doubt
many of the passengers would have
been injured. Ali that saved a bad
wreck was the fact that the coupling
between the tender and the derailed
baggage car continued to hold until
after the train came to standstill.
The engine was cut loose and came
on to the city and a coach was sent
to the scene of the wreck for the pas
sengers and they we're brought into
the city. ..
The wrecking train with a force OF
hands was dispatched to the scene at
once, and the track was cleared by
Wrecking Master Seasons in time for
the departure of the afternoon train,

Can These Things Be True?

An investigation Of the present
conditions in the United States in
dicates that we are rapidly losing
our right to be called a Christian ma
ton. Out of population Of about
90,OOO,OOO, 20,000,OO0 are members
of other sects while, there are yet
5S,OOO,OOO not afflicted with
churches.
In our nation there are 1,752,1S7
child slaves, mostly white children.
There are more than half a million
wage earners killed and wounded
every year in our various industrial
pursuits, the greater number of
which accidents" could be prevented
if individuals were not so much more
highly valued than human lives. Ten
per cent. of our population are in dis
tress all the time; 5000 children go
to school hungry all the time in New
York; $4,000 families own one-third
of the property in the Union and 30,-
100000 people own nothing. Ten
per cent. of the people who live in
our richest city go to the potter's
field.
In the South one-third Of the ma
tive whites over ten years of age are
unable to read and write. In our own
State there are between the ages of
ten and fourteen 1886 children who
can neither read nor write. There
are 625,OO0 people in South Caro-
lima, one-ffth of whom are in the
mill districts. South Carolina has
al cotton mills, eight knitting mills,
100 cotton seed oil mills, besides fer
tilizer and other manufacturing
plants. Columbia, S. c., ranks next
to Lowell, Mass, in textile manufac-
lures. There are within the bounds
