PARTY SPLIT IS.
AVOIDED

WASHINGTON. ID C., June a.
Leaders OF the majority In the house
today are actively planning the
fight 20 put the Underwood tariff
bill through at the earliest possible
moment.
That most OF the difficulties have
been cleared away aud that the
measure will be passed without de
lay Is the general belief, following
the long and turbulent caucus OF the
democrats which ended shortly
after midnight In the unanimous
adoption OF the Underwood bill.
The resolution adopted pledged
the support OF all democrats IN the
house 10 the Underwood Dill as a
revenue measure but specifically
left open the party's advocacy OF
free trade In wool to be settled IN
the future.
Although the final vote was
unanimous. even that was com.
promise. Congressman Rucker OF
Colorado. Ashbrook. Francis and
Sharp OF Ohio. and Gray OF Indiana
we're excused from the pledge TO
support the measure.
Champ Clark. speaker OF the
house. strongly urged the com.
promise as the best method OF pre-
venting a party split. Bryan follow
ers presented amendments provid-
ing for free raw wool. These
amendments made necessary the
compromise finally reached.

the deponent alleges that "as appears
from the records in the Probate
Court w. D. Mayfeld was the execu-
tor of the estate Of John Bannister,
deceased: that some four or five
years ago, as he is Informed and be-
lieves, said w. d. Mayneld left the

at Eel Paso, Texas, without any no.
tice or any accounting Of his doings
in regard to said estate to the Pro-
bate Court; that when he left the
State he had in his possession be-
longing to said estate the sum of
$4,604.12, and that w. D. Mayfield
has committed breach Of trust with
fraudulent intent by appropriating
said money to his own use"
1t was stated that Mr.. Mayfleld
would be granted preliminary

KIRKLAND ACQUITTED by JURY.
The Boy Who Protected Mother is c i
Il Famous Family.

Camden, Nov. 17.-The case of
Willie Kirkland, charged with the
murder Of his father, McRae Kirk
land, came up for trial to-day. The
case was hard fought from beginning
to end, but it was established that
Willie kirkland was compelled to
shoot his father to protect his mo-
ther.
From the testimony it seems that
McRae kirkland was accustomed to
getting into violent RACES and would
treat every one very cruelty that he
came in contact with. Mrs. Kirk
land, the widow Of McRae Kirkland,
went upon the witness stand and told
Of the cruel treatment she had suf-
fered from his hands during the 80
years of her married life, and how it
became almost unbearable during
the past two years. Other members
Of the Kirkland family corroborated
Mrs. Kirkland's testimony.
The day before the killing Kirk
land came home in a rage and beat
his wife and threatened the ohter
members Of the family. Conditions
did not improve towards night, so
the family went to a neighbor's
house to spend the night. The next
morning Kirkland came over to the
neighbor's and told his wife to go
with him. He forced her into a
buggy and was about to drive off
when Willie Kirkland demanded that
his father release his mother. Re-
fusing to do so, Willie kirkland shot
him.
Mrs. Kirkland was the star witness
for the defense. Willie Kirkland. in
straightforward manner, told the
jury the circumstances OF the kill
ing.
The weight OF evidence was in fa-
vor OF the defendant The Jury was
out for about ten minutes.
This case has created a great deal
OF interest here. The defendant is
a young man of 27 years. He is a
nephew OF Sam Kirkland, who was
tried and acquitted for murder OF his
wife last year, and kinsman of the
Famous hero of Gettysburg. Richard
kirkland, to whom handsome fonn-
tain was dedicated here on Memorial
Day of last year.

HOLDING MAY FORCE PRICE UP.
Campaign of the Cotton Farmers
Gives Much Concern.

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-This week
the cotton market will again struggle
with market reports, and it Is hard
to tell how they will affect prices.
There will be two government re-
ports this week-On ginning and on
supply and distribution.
The report on supply and distribu-
ton Is not likely to cause much stir,
although once in a great while one
OF these reports does contain some
thing that sets the market by the
ears. The chances are, however, that
II will have little effect one way or
the other.
The holding movement and the
spot demand will be watched closely.
The holding movement is having
more erect on the market than most
people imagine, and if 1t grows much
stronger 1t can hardly help putting
prices up. 1t may be that demand
to I'LL end Of the month shipments Of
actual cotton will develop this week :.
II 1t does, the advantage will be with
the bull side.

SAN DoNIINGO's RULER SLAIN.
Malcontents Shoot Head Of Black Re-
public-Pulsue Dying Prey.

San Domingo City, Nov. 20.-The
President Of the republic, Gen. Ra-
mon Caceres. was assassinated here
late yesterday afternoon by political
malcontents.
President Caceres was shot as he
left the house of Leonte Vasquez,
where he had made call. He died
half an hour later in the American
legation.
The first shots Of hir assailants,
Luis Tejara and Jaime More, Jr., ac-
cording to information from Ameri-
can consular advices, were not ef-
fective.
The wounded President first
sought shelter in a stable adjoining
the American legation, but his as
sailants pursued him thither and in
closing in upon him. fired more
shots.
Friends of President Caceres drag
ged him in dying condition to the
American legation, where he died at
o.30 O'Clock. The assassin's fled.
May Cause Trouble.
Washington, Nov. 20.-It is point
ed out here that, irrespective Of the
cause of the assassination Of Presi-
dent Caceres, of San Domingo, seri-
GUS complications may arise if am
bilious politicians seize upon the
present disturbed condition Of the
country to further their own ends.
These conditions lead to the belief
that dominica is about to enter upon
another troubled chapter in her his
tory.
1t is pointed out at the war de-
n q 4, nj hot lit l.,
GUS trouble that has occurred in
Santo Domingo in four years, where
as the history OF the country showed
the average Of at least one revolu-
tion per annunl.
Secretary Stimson believes this
satisfactory condition to be direct
result of the assumption by the Uni
ted States of the collection of the
Dominican customs, which resulted
In the establishment Of sound fnan-
ctal conditions.

TWO LADS BURNED IN HOME.
Thought that Fire Started from q
Match Dropped by Them.
(Anderson Mail.)

Brooks Wilson and Joe Sherard.
aged IA and 16 years, respectively,
were burned to death Monday night
IN fire which destroyed the home
of Walter Wilson, five miles from
Abbeville, in the Warrenton section,
near Fairs Bridge. Mr.. Wilson was
sleeping downstairs with one of his
younger children. When he discov-
cred that the house was burning,
about o'clock, Mr.. Wilson was not
sure whether or not his Oldest son,
Brooks. and cousin. Joe Sherard,
were III their room, for they had
gone to Abbeville to show earlier
in the night. The stairway was
burning, and 1T was impossible to
reach them. The other members of
the family ran out as hurriedly as
possible.
In order to wake the boys up-
stairs in case they had come home.
rocks were thrown at the windows
Of the room. AS no response was
given 1t was hoped that the boys had
not come. When the house burned
to the ground, however, the relatives
and friends gathered around were
Mortified to find the bodies of the
Doys, clasped in each others en-
brace. They had probably been
sleeping heavily after the ride home
In the night air, and were stifled to
death without ever waking.
1T is believed that the fire started
by the boys dropping & match on the
stairs as they came into the house.
BROOKS Wilson was but ii and Joe
Sherard but 16 years old. The lat
ter was son of the late Dr.. Sher-
ara and cousin of Mayor Sherard,
OF Anderson. They we're buried
tuesday at Lebanon church, both Of
the little burned bodies reposing in
the same casket.
The greatest sympathy for the be-
reaVed family is expressed at Able
vile. Mr.. Wilson Is one OF the most
substantial farmers of Abbeville
county.
Another serious fire Monday night
was the burning Of the home Of j. X.
brennan, four miles from Abbeyille.
He lost his barn and contents, two
mules and buggy.

Church and Parsonage Burn.

Branchville, Nov. 20.-The Bap-
tist church and parsonage were de-
stroyed by fire to-day about 1890.
The fire originated from nue in the
Kitchen. For while the fire fight
ers were able to keep the flames from
spreading very rapidly, but on ac-
count OF the scarcity Of water it soon
began TO gain headway. Practically
everything in the church and parson-
age was removed. The church was
valued at $4,000. with no Insurance.
The parsonage was valued at $2,500,
with insurance Of $500. This is a
great loss to the Baptists. Only a
few months ago they completed re-
modelling the church.

OFFICER KILLED ON STREET..
James Seigler Shoots Down Wade
Patterson ut Aiken.

Aiken. Nov. 17.-Wade Patterson,
who for about 27 years has been a
policeman in this city, was this after
noon shot and instantly killed by
James Seigler, a well-known man Of
this city. Patterson was shot while
on duty in the principal business sec
ton Of the town. The body of the
dead man was carried to the under
taking establishment of the Powell

night. An inquest will be held to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock by the
coroner.
There were several witnesses
to the homicide. Patterson was shot
several times with 32 calibre Say
age magazine pistol.
1t is said that the officer had ar
rested Seigler for cursing just a few
minutes previous to the shooting and
that Patterson had allowed Seigler
to give bond in the sum of $3.50.
Scigler is said to have given Patter-
son a fivc-dollar bill and before Pat
terson had given him the change the
killing occurred. AS to what took
place between the two men during
that time Is uncertain, and the state
, mentS are conflicting.
One statement is that few words
were passed, in which Seigler com
planned of not being treated right,
and that the officer told him that he,
Seigler, knew that he was in the
wrong. at which Seigler quickly drew
his pistol and fired at least three
times. The balls were of steel and
one of them is said to have passed
through Patterson's body and was
picked up on the sidewalk Seigler
Is falIner and one Of the largest
planters in the county
Patterson Is survived by wife
and several children. He was con-
sidered one Of the best officers on
the force. Seig!er Is in Jail.
