SIX SOLDIERS THOT
SHOOTING WAS RESULT or ROV'
WITH NEGROES
Two of the Soldiers Are Seriously
Wounded While the Other i''r:r
Are Slightly Hurt.

A special dispatch from BeaH'c9r,
s. c., to the Augusta Chronicle sn;s
six soldiers of the 125th c1n.
pany, coast artillery, stational 1T
Fort Fremont, on St. Helena island,
have been shot by negroes, jus! out
side of the reservation lines between
nine o'clock Monday night and one
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Two Of
the men, Private Quigley and Nc
Nally, are seriously, but not fatally
wounded, while Privates Mccarthy,
Callahan, Stansberry and Sleder are
less badly shot.
The negroes who did the shooting
have left the neighborhood, and have
not been arrested up to this time.
About week ago, Isaac Potter and
and soldier from the fort, had a
fight on the road near Cusper City,
on st. Helena Island, which result
ed in Potter being cut by the SOL
dier. 1t is said that at this time
and afterwards the two Potters
threatened to shoot the first soldier
caught off the reservation after that
night.
On Monday night, Privates Cal
lahan, Mccarthy, Stransberry and
Sleder were shot from the bushes
while walking along a road short
distance from the reservation lines.
The weapons used were shotguns and
the smallness of the shot was all
that prevented fatal results, as the
men were fired on from close range.
Considerable excitement and much
feeling was apparent among some of
the men after the shooting. On the
| next day a party of six soldiers are
said to have gone 10 the Potter
house carrying two shotguns along
with them, to see the Potters and
find out whether or not they had
anything to do with the shooting of
their comrades on the previous eve
ming.
1t is said that the soldiers began
shooting up the house as soon as
they came up. AS the soldiers enter
ed the home Of the negroes one of
the Potters retreated upstairs, firing
into the soldiers as he went, the
first volley striking down Quigley
and McNally.

of That State.
A special to the Augusta Chronicle
from Culverton, Ca, says very
heavy wind and hail storm there
Thursday afternoon was the worst
that has ever visited that section.
While there were no lives lost, so far
as can be. ascertained, there were
several houses blown from their pill
lars and the steeple of the Metho-
dist Church was blown down and
several houses were unroofed.
One of the R. F. D. Carriers, who
has just come in, reports that cot
ton and corn along his route are
completely ruined anu that there is
not enough left to tell what was
planted in the fields. The peach
crop from the section will be COM
plete failure, as the main part of the
storm passed directly through the
peach centre.
Several thousand dollars damage
was done in Atlanta Thursday after
noon by one of the worst hail and
rain storms in its history. The max
imum wind velocity was sixty miles
an hour, rain of one-half inch was
recorded within thirty minutes, and
the ground was almost covered with
hail stones.

Terrible Explosion Shuts Up One
Hundred and Thirty-SiX in Coal
Shaft at White Haven, England.

An explosion in the Wellington
coal mine at White Haven, England,
during Wednesday night cut off the
exit from 1876 miners, who were
working below the surface.
Rescue parties succeeded early on
Thursday in saving four men who
had been working at the bottom of
the shafts, but were prevented by
the gas from penetrating to point
where the other men are imprisoned.
Every indication was that inner
workings of the mine were afire. Dis
tracted crowds of relatives surround
ed the pit head. The colliery is
owned by the Earl of Longsdale and
it's Dorkings extend four or five
miles beneath the sea.
The spot where the S5 hewers and
some fifty-odd shiftmen still impris-
oned were working at the time of
the explosion is about three miles
from the shaft exit.

DEAD MAN CAME TO LIFE.
And the Mourners Are Frightened
Nearly to Death.

Near Carthage. N. c., Uncle Virgil
Jones, typical fore de war" dar-
key who was recognized at a pa
triarch among the negroes Of the
neighborhood, died. Following the
custom prevailing among the negroes
in the country, especially, a big
crowd sat up with the old Fellows
body all Sunday night. They went
to put his body in the coffin Monday
morning, the room being crowded
with negroes, mourners and others,
one hundred and fifty or more in all
being in the house and waiting in
the yard.
Suddenly as ONE of the watchers
went to reach for the body, indicat-
ing to his aites to lay hold and help
lift it, the old fellows eyes opened,
his withered arm went out and up
in warning pose and a veritable
voice from the dead exclaimed in
sepulchral tones that struck terror
to the heart of every negro specta-
tor. Not yeti"
It is said that there was never
a more complete stampede known.
Instead of being overioyed at the
manifestation of returning life for
the old partriach, whose departure
they were mourning. the affright9d
screams were heard for miles about

TRYING TO CHEAT JUSTICE.
Scheme Being Hatched to Keep Jones
Out of Prison.

Attorneys for w. T. Jones, con-
victed for the murder of his wife and
sentenced to life Imprisonment on
Thursday went before Judge T. S.
Sease and secured an order grant
ing a stay of the execution Of the
sentence.
The remittitur from the State Sill
preme Court, which had confirmed
the verdict and sentence OF the Court
of General Sessions for Union Coun-
ty, was received by Clerk of Court
Peake Wednesday morning. That
officer proceeded to make a certified
copy of the verdict and sentence Of
the Circuit Court, which would have
been sent to the Penitentiary author
tiles Thursday, and IN officer would
have been sent from the Penitentiary
to convey Jones to that institution.
This is the regular and orderly pro-
cedure in such cases.
The order of Judge Sease stays
this, however, until Saturday next,
at least, at which time the attorneys
will appear before the Judge for a
hearing. The affldavits epon which
the order is based have not been fill
ed, and their nature or by whom they
are made is not known. The order
recites, however, that affidavits have
been submitted to the effect that
there was misconduct on the part of
jurors who tried the case, and fur
ther, that claim is made that there
is after discovered evidence, which
may offset the merits of the case.

POORLY BALED COTTON.
Southern Cotton Reaches Europe In
Very Bad Shape.

A decision was handed down by
the Interstate commerce commits
sion Wednesday with the importance
of the proper baling of cotton snip
ned from points in the South TO Eu-
ropean destinations. In the course
of the opinion the commission says:
t'It is not deemed amiss to call
the attention of cotton growers ana
SINNERS and the railroads to the
fact that cotton bales from the Unit
ed States shipped to Europe are re-
ceived in worse condition as to pack
ing than cotton bales arriving there
from any other country.
The case was brought by Ander-
son. CLAYTON & Co., of Oklahoma
against the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railway Company, and other
Interstate carriers. in which 1t was
alleged that every service, including
the applying of the owners or snip
pers patches to cotton bales in thelr
compression, was included IN the
through freight rate to final destl-
nation of the shipment.
The commission holds that the
facts do not justify an order against
the defendant carriers; that the car
riers have the right to compress cot
ton in transit and that the shippers
or owners have the privilege OF con-
cantrating cotton at designated COM
presses. with the right of such snip
pers or owners to deliver the cotton
back to the carriers for transporta-
tion to it's fnal destination on the
through rate for point of origin.

Six Cils and Two Boys Drown When

IT.
Twelve students of the Hunting
ton High School obtained two boats
at the neon hour and started LOT
row about the dam. The dam IS
nearly half a mile in width, and when
the two crafts had reached the centre
of the body of water it was notlced
that one of them had sprung leak.
The two boats were then pulled
together by the young men IN the
party and an effort was being mace
to transfer the girls rom the leaky
boat to the safe craft. The last one
of the party had successfully set foot
in the boat when it began to SINK
under the weight of the party.
The girls were helpless TO save
themselves and the boys of the par
ty. with the exception of Dodson'
being expert s,aimmers, struck
out for the shore, which all reached
in safety. Minnich, in the excite
ment, it is presumed, thought that
all the young women had succeeded
in reaching land. He had no sooner
gained the bank than he noticed the
girls hanging to the rapidly sinking
boat.
The boy dashed into the water and
swan swiftly to the water-hlled
craft. Only two of the girls were
clinging to the boat, the others hav-
ing gone down for the last time.
seizing Miss Davenport, Min
mich again started for the shore, but
the exertion was too much for the
gallant lad and the two went down
together, when they were within a
stones throw of the Dank. All the
bodies have been recovered.

70 eihich began at Quincy on
Monday eve ming, terminated late on
Tuesday in a disastrous tumble to
the earth from a height of perhaps
800 feet near Center, KY, was not
without it's compensations was in
dicated by statement made by Mr..
Forbes Thursday night. The bal
loon broke the ascent record, 1t is
declared, and some valuable photo
graphs of the comet were secured at
an elevation of $4,000 feet.
On Tuesday morning after meas
urement, Messrs. FORBES and Yates,
in the Viking, passed through a snow
storm, at 11.4O o'clock, at an eleva-
ton Of 10000 feet An hour later
they passed through the second fur
ry at a height of 16,400 feet. At 2
O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon the
balloon reached the extreme alti-
tude Of 10000 feet, which is 1000
feet higher than any authorized rec
ord ever made in America. Mr..
Forbes thus describes their eXper-
fences after reaching the greatest
height:
I'm descending from the great ele-
vation we had very little sand left,
and as the gas contracted, the bal
loon bag became extremely fabby.
Everything, however, went we'll until
we were a few hundred feet above
the ground when the appendix line
broke loose from the ring supporting
the basket. There was so little gas
in the bag at the time that the rig
ging collapsed and, with the basket
attached, naturally dropped. This
caused the rip cord, which is at
tached to the rigging, to rip open the
balloon at the height of 800 feet
from the ground.
Il cannot describe the sensation
of that 300-foot fall to the ground.
1t came so suddenly. / have faint
recollection of seeing men below me
in a ploughed field and of subcon-
sciously trying, it seemed, to tilt
up the basket that MT. Yates and |
