President Smiths Attendance.

Washington, June 17.-Jos. F.
Smith, of Salt Lake City, head of the
Mormon church, must come to Wash
ington to testify before the house

In his message to Mr.. Hardwick,
the head of the Mormon church de-

to the details of the business. My
obligations here make it extremely
difficult, if not impossible, for me to
reach Washington by the 22d. John

could without inconvenience meet
your committee and answer any Ques-
ton you may care to ask. Besides l

tism.''

STILL CAPTURED AT LEXINGTON.
Sheriff Destroys Liquor Plant, but
Operators Escape.

Lexington, June 1S.-On Thurs
day night about 1 O'Clock Sheriff p.
H. Corley captured whiskey still in
'Congaree Creek swamp, about three
miles from Dixiana, in this county.
The still was one of the most unique,;
the sheriff says, that he has ever
seen. 1t was made of an unusually
large washpot, with wooden cap
bound with copper. The still was
in operation, being filled with corn
mash. The entire charge was de-
stroyed, the still thrown into the.
creek and the other apparatus de-
stroyed.
The still was located in the mid
die of the swamp, about one-han
mile from the edge, and it was with
difficulty that the sheriff succeeded in.

attracted by a dim light in the dis
tance. When the sheriff drew near
the men, who the sheriff thinks num-
bered three or four, they made their
escape in the darkness and no
glimpse of them was had. During
the last few months Sheriff Corley.
has been vigilant in his effort to put
down the illicit sale of whiskey and
he has succeeded in large measure.

Posse Seeking Young Man.

Monticello, Ca, June ia posse
at the heels of track dogs is securing
the county of Jasper for Lawrence
Crawford, a prominent young white
man, who, according to the story of
the victim, Thursday night, while
the family was absent, tied a white
girl to a bed in her own home, as
saulted her and fed, leaving the girl
trussed up until her parents returned
several hours later. Excitement is
at fever heat, and it is generally con-
ceded that if Crawford is caught,
lynch law will go into quick and inn
mediate effect.
Crawford was a friend of the FAM
lily, and called while the girls parents
were at a lodge meeting. She says
he drugged her, and she remembered
nothing until regaining consciousness
Friday morning. She had been in
precarious health, and fears are en-
tertained for her recovery.

CHARGES AGAINST REGIMENT.
Aiken Board of Trade May be Sued
for Libel.

Aiken, June 17.-Did the First
regiment, National Guard, on it's en-
campment in Aiken last summer dis
criminate against Aiken in the pur-
chase of supplies or did it go away
leaving bills unpaid? These are in
substance the charges made against
the regiment by a letter purporting
to be from the Aiken board of trade,
published in the Aiken newspapers.
Col. w. w. Lewis, commanding
the regiment, stoutly denies that
there is particle of foundation for
the charge, and it is now rumored
that he is preparing to enter suit
against the Aiken board of trade for
giving out such letter charging
libel against his regiment.
It is alleged by some here that the
letter was not authoritative and that
no meeting of the board of trade was
called for the purpose of drawing up
such an instrument as that publish
ed.
To-day Rev. r. c. Jeter of this
city, chaplain of this regiment, en-
deavored to ascertain if there are
any bills unpaid, and he states that
he was unable to find but one small
account, which was for meat secured
by a member of the Aiken Rifles, who
was on special detail, of $3.50; and
that this was either personal ac-
count or a misunderstanding Every
other merchant in the city whom it
was rumored held bills against the
regiment were visited, and it was
found that they had been paid in full.
Whether the letter was written au-
thoritatively or by the officers or any
one of them individually, the indi-
vidual writer would doubtless, in case
of suit, have to stand responsibility
for it's contents, as it would be diff
cult to ascertain just who composes
the Aiken board Of trade. Uusually
public meeting is held, and is styled
a board of trade meeting, but if such
meeting was held to make charges
against the regiment, it was not pub
licly announced.

NEGRO BOY KILLS ANOTHER.
Eight-year Old Uses Fathers Shot
gun on Playmate.

Beaufort, June 17.-An unusual
homicide occurred at Edgelay planta-
ton, about eight miles from this
place, yesterday afternoon. 1t seems
that George Bynard, negro boy of
eight years, and James Watkins, an
other negro lad, aged 13, became in
volved in a dispute about the dispo-
sition of a mess of crabs. They
eventually came to blows, but were
parted. A little later the fight was
renewed, and, it is alleged, the By
nard boy told Watkins he was 60
ing home to get gun to kill him.
Making good his threat, he went
to his home, which is about 100 yards
from that of the Watkins boy, Sc
cured his fathers single-barreled
shotgun and returned. The Watkins
negro was standing in the front door
of the house and some distance down
the hall, behind him was a negro
girl, Matilda White, of about IL
years of age. The little eight-year-
old negro walked up to the front
fence, rested the barrel of the gun
upon it and, it is alleged, took delib-
crate aim and fired. The load took
effect in the face and the left breast
of the Watkins boy, killing him in
stantly. The girl was wounded, but
not seriously.
The little negro was brought to
Beaufort to-day by Deputy Sheriff
White and Coroner Sans, but did not
seem to be conscious of having COM
mitted a crime.

SHOOT DOWN OFFICERS.
Deputy Sheriff and Conductor are
Wounded by Bandits.

Salt Lake City, Utah, June H.
Samuel Milton, of DuBoise, Idaho, a
deputy sheriff, and William Kidd, of
Pocatatllo, a train conductor, were
shot and seriously wounded by two
men on an Oregon Line passenger
train near Beaver Canon, Idaho, to-
day.
Milton boarded the train at Du-
Bois and arrested two men suspected
of having robbed a saloon at Monida,
on the Montana-Idaho line. In the
smoking car he searched the men,
taking two pistols from one. He
placed the weapons on seat and
started to handcuff one of his pris-
oners when the other grabbed a pis-
tol and shot him three times. Kidd
seized the man, who fired the bullet
through the abdomen of the conduc-
tor. The prisoners held the passen-
gers at bay and pulled the cord, sig
mailing the engineer to stop.
When the train stopped the two
men jumped off and escaped. Posses
are searching for them. The wound
ed men were taken to Pocatello for
treatment. Neither is expected to
live

Three Girls Drowned.

Eaton Rapids, Mich, June 10
Leila and Lena Stewart, sisters, aged
sixteen and fourteen, and Fern Hall,
aged fourteen, were drowned yester-
day when their canoe capsized in
Spring Brook, branch of the Grand
river, in this city.
There were no witnesses to the &C
cident and the first known of it was
when the girls canoe was found
floating bottom upward on the
stream.
The three bodies were found close
together a short distance above where
the canoe was discovered. 1t is
thought that the canoe struck snag,
causing it to capsize.

Maine Filled with Mud.

Habana, June 16.-"No further
DEVELOPMENTS of importance in con-
nection with the uncovering of the
wreck OF the battleship Maine are
probable within the next 10 or IL
days." said Gen. W. II. Bixby to-
night, following the complete circum-
navigation of the wreck in a launch
by the board of American officers
who are supervising the work. A
minute examination was made Of all
portions of the ship exposed to view.
This survey convinced the board that
before further exploration is<possible
it will be'necessary to remove hum
dreds of tons of mud, which almost
completely fill the interior of the
vessel.
The level of the cofferdam tonight
stood at ten feet below normal, which
is somewhat higher than before,
owing to cessation of pumping and
consequent slight percolation OF
water.
The principal result of the investl-
cation of the wreck to-day was dis
covery that the deterioration OF the
steel structures is very great.
