Burning of Elm City Depot.

Wilmington, N. c., Dec. 26.-Dur-
ing the progress of fire which de-
stroyed the Atlantic Coast Line de-
pot at Elm City, N. c., early to-day,
400 pounds of dynamite in the

the explosion took place, but Conduc-
tor Bruce Cotton, in charge Of a
freight train which was assisting in
saving rolling stock, was slightly
hurt by flying piece of debris from
the explosion. About eighty bales
of cotton were destroyed with other
property belonging to the railroad

TOM MILLER A CANDIDATE?
Rumor Says He will Seek Seat in
Legislature from Jasper County.

While walking on Main street on
Monday l met certain colored cler-
gyman from the lower part of the
State, and after questioning him con-
corning church matters the conver-
sation turned on matters in general.
And among the matters Of interest
which he told me was this: Ex-
President Thomas E. Miller of the
colored State college is preparing to
enter politics again. 1t was rumor-
ed at the time of his resignation
that he would run for the national
house of representatives against Con-
gresham Legare, but DR.. Miller en-
phatically denied the rumor. But
his friends (and they claim to know
are saying that he is in the field for
the next legislature Of South Caro-
lima. He expects to be one of the
representatives of the new Jasper
county. He is carefully laying his
plans to this end.-I. E. Lowery, in

HAD TO SWIM TO SAFETY.
Driver and Passenger Had Narrow
Escape in NeWberry.

Newberry, Dec. 23.-Further de-
tails of the drowning of the horse
from Guy Browns stables yesterday
were learned to-day. The drowning
was in Hunting Fork creek, very
small stream that flows into Indian
creek about mile and a half below
where the accident occurred. A man
can step across the creek in dry
weather, but yesterday it was very
high. Daniel Oxner, who lives be-
yond the creek, tried to warn Fred
H. Hunter and the negro driver not
to drive in, but they seem not to have
understood him. In little while the
horses were swimming. One was
drowned; the other broke loose and
swan out. The negro driver swan
out on the Newberry side. Mr.. Hunt
er got out on the Whitmire side and
went to Mr.. Oxner's and got dry
clothes and then went on to the
home of John NJ. Stuber'S to which
place he started when he left New
berry. Mr.. Hunter lost his valise
in the water, and the buggy was car
ried down stream. The streams in
that section were 80 high this morn
ing that no one could get either
to Newberry or Whitmire, but Mr..
Suber carried Mr.. Hunter to Whit
mire later in the day, and he reached
Newberry this evening by rail by
way of Clinton. Neither the buggy
nor the valise had been found at
last accounts this evening.

Stabbed i'm Stomach by Negro.

A man by the name of Pursley, liv-
ing at 1,124 Olympia street, was
stabbed as he was descending from a
street car at the corner of Pendleton
and Sumter streets late Saturday af-
ternoon. He says that little ginger
caked negro was showing his way
when the people went to get off the
car. and he demonstrated with him,
when suddenly the negro pulled a
knife and stabbed him in the stom-
ach, the negro escaping. Pursley was
given medical attention and the
wound is not serious. The negro, who
is accused of the crime, has not as
yet been arrested, but the officers are
looking for him.-Columbia Record,

PAY FINE OR TO PRISON.
BarnWell Man Convicted of ViOlat.
ing Liquor Law.

Barnwell, Dec. 25.-John McLe-
more, who was convicted several
months ago of violating the dispen-
sary law and sentenced to pay fine
of S400 or spend nine months on the
changing or in the penitentiary,
was arrested last week and lodged in
the Barnwell county Jail. McLemore
appealed his case, but Judge Shipp,
at the recent term of court, dismissed
the appeal. If the fine is not forth
coming, or the governor fails to
grant a pardon, McLemore will be
taken to the penitentiary to serve
his sentence.
He is receiving the best of atten-
ton at the Jail, having been given a
cell usually reserved for the women
prisoners, and he is served with
meals from the sheriff's table. The
sheriff was recently acquitted of the
charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill the prisoner for whom
he is now doing all in his power to
make comfortable during his stay in

THEIR HOPES SHORT LIVED.
Negroes Throng Capital in Washing
ton to Get Money Back.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Scores of aged
negro men and women gathered in
the rotunda of the capitol to-day
each tightly gripping a musty bank
book, by which they expected to gain
restitution of losses incurred in the
collapse of the Freedmen's Bank
here in the early seventies.
Where do we get the money!
they eagerly asked.
What money!" replied capitol
policeman.
"The t'reedmen's bank claims
This is the day we arc to get all the
money back-between 10 and )
o'clock in the rotunda.''
The excitement was due to a mis-
understanding in local church an
nouncement. Ministers in negro
churches last Sunday advised theil
congregations that a committee had
been appointed to see Speaker Clark
to-day to urge further legislation fol-
relief of the survivors of the thous.
ands of negroes who lost their saw
ings in the collapse of the bank,
which was organized just after the
war. The committee later saw the
speaker.
The bank with branches at Balti-
more, New Orleans, Jacksonville and
other Southern cities had more than
10000 depositors when a board OF
commissioners took over it's affairs
in July, 1874.
The liabilities were over $685.
coo. The affairs of the bank were in
badly tangled condition and con-
gress provided for the handling OF
all it's funds by the treasury depart
ment. There has been a continuous
appeal to congress since then for
full payment to the negro deposit
ors but none of the claims ever has
been paid by congress.

for Collins's Death.

Florence, Dec. 24.-Magistrate c..
S. McClenaghan has returned from
Efingham, where he went yesterday
to hold the inquest over the body
of Lum Collins. The verdict of his
Jury was that Collins came to his
death from a blow with piece of
iron piping in the hands of j. NJ.
Kinney.
Kinney and Collins both were men
with families and both worked at the
Dargan Lumber Company's plant at
the time of the difficulty. Kinney
came to the city yesterday afternoon
and surrendered to the sheriff, stat
ing that he thought he had killed a
man and that he had acted in self
defence.

testimony adduced at the inquest

were having a difficulty and Kinney,
the father of the boy, went to Col
lins to demonstrate with him about
the trouble he had with young KIM
rev. and Collins advanced on Kinney
with a knife Nothing can be learn
ed as to what led up to the diff
Guilty between Collins and the young
er Kinney. The man. in jail has en-
ployed counsel and has been advised

MAN DRIVEN TO CONFESSION.
Vision of Dead Victim Forces Man
to Surrender to Police.

Baltimore, Dec. 26.-Haunted by
visions of his victim, John Henry
Martin surrendered to the police
here to-day, declaring that he was
the murderer Of William H. Mickle,
an old storekeeper In 10th street,
Washington, on November II last.
Martin, who appears to be a ner-
vous wreck, said that he entered the
store, struck the man over the head
with wrench, took the contents OF
the cash drawer and fled. He said
that he went to West Virginia and
did not know that the man he as
saulted was dead until he read it two
weeks ago in a Washington paper.
He saw also that some one else had
been arrested for the crime.
The memory of his deed and the
thought that innocent persons might
suffer for it, drove him to Catholic
confessional, where he told his story
to the priest. 1t was on the advice
of the latter, Martin, said, that he
surrendered himself.
Martin formerly lived at Cumber-
land, Md. He has been in Baltimore
only few days, he said.
Martin told the police that his
first thought after reading of the ar
rest of another of the murder was
that he had a lucky escape.
"Then," he said, Il began worry
ing. l could not rest; | could not
sleep. l have been in misery.
Il would rather be hung or have
anything else done to me than to be
tormented by thoughts.
Ever since l read that | had kill
ed the man l struck, l have seen
faces at night when l was in bed.

His brother, a State senator from an
adjoining county; another brother,
the auditor of his own county; an
other brother, the mayor of his own
city; a sister, the wife of an ex-sena-
tor, and one of the States most

having for many years been highly
honored by his people as mayor OF
his town; as sheriff of his county to
succeed his father; as major of his
regiment in the militia, and having
been otherwise honored by the peo-
pie of his State.
"Why should he be kept for the
slaughter, when foreigners outside
of the State, who came into the State,
were turned loose and given immunl-
ty, Notwithstanding the fact that
they admitted that they had attempt
ed to bribe State officers, and not
withstanding the fact that in all
trials upon such testimony, the ju-
ries have heretofore acquitted or
failed to agree, except in the case of
John Black.
I'm my opinion, the pardonlng
power was provided for the preven-
ton of just such travesties upon JUS
tice as this, and to relieve men from
the oppression of the courts by po-
litical enemies and prejudiced jurors

FRANTIC WOMAN'S WILD ACTS.
Slashes Her Children's Wrists and
Attempts Suicide.

Seneca Falls, n. Y, Dec. 26.-
Driven frantic, it is thought, by her
belief that she had given her two
children poison in mistake for medl-
cine, Mrs. Anna Curle, wife of a
prominent merchant of Waterloo,
Seneca county, sought to save them
from a death of torture to-day by
slashing their wrists with a pairing
knife. The distraught woman then
tried to commit suicide by making
ugly gashes in her own wrists. All
have a chance to recover.

Came South with Sherman.

Columbia, Dec. 23.-A soldier in
Sherman's army, when it swept
through South Carolina with fire in
the days of 1865, was liberated from
the penitentiary to-day when Gov.
Blease paroled George w. Ennis,
who was sent uR from Barnwell
county in 1892 for life. The condi-
tion attached to the parole was that
Ennis leave the State within twenty
four hours and never return.
Ennis, as stated, was soldier in
Sherman's army and at the close OF
the war settled in Barnwell county
on a farm. In 1892 he was arrested,
tried and convicted of arson, burning
neighbor's gin house, and sentenc-.
ed to be hanged, Gov. Tillman at
terwards committing the sentence to
life Imprisonment in the State peni-
tentiary, from which Ennis was re-
leased to-day, after service OF 19
years, an old man now, being about
72. It is said that at the time of his
trial in Barnwell he admitted on the
stand that he was a member of
Sherman's army and was proud OF
the fact.
While in prison Ennis was an ex-s
cellent prisoner and ran the mill, al
ways had the best corn and furnished
fresh meal and hominy every day,
and on account of this the doctors
are of the opinion that this account
ed for there never having been
case of pellagra in the prison, the
only one known to have been there
having come from Sumter county.
Ennis always took great delight and
pride in his fresh meal and hominy.
It is stated that Ennis is well con-
nected in Illinois, having wealthy
brother living there, near which
place Ennis was born. It is thought
he went there this afternoon on be-
ing released from the penitentiary.

was acquitted of murder. The court

save some peoples political reputa-
ton; a conviction must be had; who
shall it be? Of course, the man who
cursed the learned attorney general
to his face upon the street, and it
was not personally resented. Why
was the case transferred to Chester?
Why left there? Why was it not
tried in Columbia, or in the same cir
cult, at Kershaw, or if it must be in
the 9Th circuit, why not at Lancas-
ter or Fairfield or York? Why was
it absolutely necessary to go to Ches-
ter? Why was it necessary to try
it at that particular court, by speci-
ally picked and appointed attorney
to preside? The newspapers were
clamoring for somebody's conviction,
and yet many were given immunity,
some of whom have since come into
the State and gone upon the stand
and swore as witnesses in other
cases that they were guilty of the
lowest and most corrupt bribery;
yet they were allowed to go free and
none have since been prosecuted.

After Another Visit.

Des Moines.--No date will be set
for the final trip to Fort Madison of
the prison probe commission until
word is received from Judge NJ. A.
Roberts of Ottumwa, according to
George Cosson, attorney general, who
is at the head of the commission that
is investigating conditions at the
penitentiary.
Private business of Judge Roberts
prevented the commissions complet-
ing its work last week. Mr.. Cosson
says Judge Roberts is to notify him

Farley Sheldon OF Ames, the other
member OF the committee, will go to
Fort Madison Immediately.
1t is understood that no report will
be made to Governor Carroll concern
ing the management OF the prison and
the actions of the state board of pa,
role until some time after the con-
GLIDING trip of the commission to
Fort Madison. After the evidence
has all been taken the members OF
the commission have some private
investigating to do before the work
will be completed and 1t may be the
first Of January before the findings of
the commission, relative to the
charges made by David Brant. editor
of the Iowa City Republican. are
made public.

sleakly Opposes Mandamus suit.

, The opinion of former Attorney.
General Byers that 1t is illegal to
write automobile liability insurance
under the laws OF Iowa win be the
defense which State Auditor Bleal1ly
will make to the application of the
American Fidelity Insurance com.
pany Of Montpelier, VT. for writ Of
mandamus compelling Auditor Bleak
ly to officially recognize their auto
mobile liability insurance policy.
Mr.. Byers' opinion, given about a
year ago. was to the effect that pol.
icies of insurance securing automo.
bile owners against damages for in
juries caused by the running Of their
machines, no matter in whose hands.
was illegal In Iowa.
The Vermont company writes this
kind of insurance. Auditor Bleakly
not only refused to recognize such a
policy, but threatens to revoke the
state license of the company to sell
Insurance in Iowa. 1t is to compel
this recognition and to prevent the
revocation of. their license that the
Vermont concern has. brought the
suit.
