Young Man Found Dead.

Greenville, February 8.-At 1880
o'clock this morning, Walter Young,
19 years old, a son of Mrs. D. L.
Young, living at 203 Buncombe
street. this city, and student at
Furman University, was found dead
lying across his bed in his room at
his mothers residence. At this hour
the physicians are conducting an ex-
animation of the body with a view to
ascertaining the cause Of death. There
were no wounds on the body, and if
it is a case of suicide it must have
been the result of poisoning.
A brother and the two sisters of
Young went to the theatre tonight,
leaving him in apparently good spir-
it's and the best of health, but the
brother, on going to his room after
returning from the theatre, found
him dead on the bed.

Finds Wife Remarked.

Youngstown, Ohio, Feb. 5.-Like
the Enoch Arden of fiction, Thomas
L. Leavis, alias Clyde johnson, has
returned to see his wife and children
only to find her remarked and his
children gone. Disconsolate he gave
himself up at the county jail and
asked to be rturned to Illinois, which
State he had left while on parole from
the Joliet penitentiary.
He few years ago went West and
wrote regularly to his family and
furnished them with funds. When
arrested and sent to the State prison
his letters ceased and believing him
dead his wife married again.
He was paroled but was not al
lowed to leave the State of Illinois.

age, committed suicide this after
noon, shooting himself in the right
temple with a .32 calibre pistol.
The shooting was done in the rear
of Chris Rabens' place on the corner
of King and Sheppard streets.
Hearing the report of the pistol
Rabens went to the rear of his store
and there found Stone with his death
wound.
He was not then dead, but he
died within an hour at the Roper
hospital, to which he was sent In the
rolice patrol wagon.
He was a stone cutter by trade.
He is said to have been drinking re-
Gently. AS far as known, he has no
immediate relatives. The inquest

This case in the Supreme Court in
the matter of the children of Mrs. B.
r. Tillman, Jr., whose children are
being kept away from her by Sena-
tor Tillman, has no doubt done the
Senator more harm than anything
which has ever occurred in his politi-
cal career. There is nc question
but that his keeping these children
from their mother has shown him
up to many people in South Carolina
as he never was before, and not to
his advantage either. The feeling
of the people generally is easily un-
derstood when it is noted how quick
bills were offered in both the House
and Senate to repeal the law under
which the children were decided to
Senator Tillman and his wife.

SHOT BY NEGRO.
MIR. Geo. Booth Seriously Wounded
by a Drunk Negro.

Mr.. George Booth was shot and
seriously wounded by a negro on his
farm at Ulmers, Barnwell county,
Saturday afternoon. The negro who
was a hand on the place, was drunk
and creating disturbance in the lot,
and Mr.. Booth went to stop the
row. When he approached the ne
gro he saw that he had a gun leveled
on him and was in the act Of shoot
ing. He seized the gun by the barrel
and attempted to push it away, but
the negro pulled the trigger almost
instantly and the load passed through
the fleshy part Of the thigh just
above the knee, tearing out a large
piece of flesh. The wound is a very
painful one and quite serious, but
at last accounts Mr.. Booth was get
ting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected.-Sumter Watchman and

Give Themselves Up.

Roanoake, Va, Feb. 5.-A Blue,
field, w. Va, special to-day says Jim
Daniels and his five sons, noted Ken
lucky feudists, surrendered to the
sheriff at Pikeville, KY, yesterday
and were placed in Jail. The father
said he was tired of cheating justice
and having "got religion" he was
ready, with his sons, to take their
medicine.
In attempting to capture the Dan
iels family several months ago posse
opened fire on the Daniels home, near
Devon, w. Va, and killed old Mrs.
Daniels and her daughter. During
the fusillade a son wanted for killing
Harum Christian, another feudist,
made his escape in the darkness.

Queer Cause of Death.

Juliette, Ca, Feb. 5.-While out
hunting several days ago, Gilbert
Alexander and Grady Tingle, two
white boys, discovered a dead negro
standing on his head in ditch near
the Forsyth waterworks. The negro
looked to be about 70 years old, and
there were no marks or scratches on
his person to cause suspicion that he
had been murdered.
He had been seen on the streets
of Forsyth several days before he
came to his death in the ditch. Those
who investigated his death believe
that in trying to get drink Of water
out of the ditch he fell in the ditch
on his head and was unable to get
out.

That was a significant incident i

That was a significant incident in
Columbia last week when the
Senate of South Carolina prac-
locally declined to hear Sena-
tor Tillman speak. The House
passed resolution inviting the Sena-
tor to address both branches of the
general assembly, and the resolution
was then sent to the Senate for ac-
ton. Senator T. Y. Williams, OF
Lancaster, at once objected to imme-
date consideration of the resolution,
which, under the rules, forced the
resolution to 60 over until the next
day. AS the invitation was for the
same afternoon, the effect was that
the Senate did not care to hear Mr..
Tillman. Then the House passed q
resolution asking the Senator to ad-
dress that body, but Mr.. Tillman
asked to be excused on account of the
mission which brought him to Co.
lumbia. A few years ago Mr.. Will
iams's action would have been high
treason, but now not one Senator
even expostulated with Mr.. Williams
or made any effort to have Mr.. Till
man address the body. Truly bet
ter day is dawning politically for
South Carolina.
