Representative Catlin Unseated.-
Representative Theron E. Catlin, of
Missouri, Republican, was unseated to-
night as a member of the house of rep
resentatives and his Democratic oppo-
nent, who contested the election, Pat
rick F. GILL;. was seated amid wild en-
thusiasm from the Democratic side.
The vote to unseat Catlin, who was
charged with violation OF the Missouri
law governing campaign expenses, was
121 to II. Gill was seated by vote of
104 to 70. with 80 voting present.
Mr.. Catlin just before the first roll
call, left the seat he had occupied in
the center Of the Republican side Of
the house and went to his desk. far in
the rear. He lifted the desk lid, using
an adjoining chair as a repository, re-
moved all Of his books and papers. He
left the chamber with tagging step,
stopping only to grasp the outstretched
hands Of sympathetic friends. Three
quarters Of an hour later his success
full rival stood before the speakers
desk and took the solemn oath Of Of
flee.
The case, throughout the seven hours
of debate was bitterly fought on both
sides.
The charge against Mr.. Catlin was
that he and his family had spent $10,-
200 to elect him to congress when the
Missouri law prohibited an expenditure
by candidates Of more than 1862. Other
charges Of fraud were made, Of all Of
which Mr.. Catlin denied knowledge.
He also denied he knew at the time Of
any expenditures made by his father
and brother-Washingt dispatch Au-

A society note in the Atlanta Jour-
nal of last Thursday, announced that
Thomas B. Fielder, who had sailed
from Savannah for New York the pre-
vious week, sailed from New York on
Thursday on the Kronprinzessin Ce-
celie, for Germany, where he will join
Mrs Fielder and their young son, who
have been abroad for several months.
This piece of news will be received
with surprise by some people; but
others will not be at all surprised. 1t
was quite reasonable to suppose that
Mr. Fielder had all the powder he
could possibly scrape up in the big
blank cartridge that he fired off at
Augusta, and but few people of rea-
sonably sound judgment took any
stock in his promises as to what he
would do after that. Mr.. Fielder has
kerf1ummuxed completely, and all Of
his conspiring intrigue and trickery
have come to naught in so far as
their power to do further harm is
concerned.

A few days ago a great victory was
.ninnd FOR tarnnaronna in the limited

A few days ago a great victory was
gained for temperance in the United
States senate. The judiciary commit
tee favorably reported the Kenyon
Sheppard bill. 1t is the bill to prevent
the shipment of whisky into dry terri
tory. The bill has yet to be enacted
into law; but this is the first time that
the temperance forces have even been
able to get such a bill before one OF
the houses of congress. Heretofore all
the bills framed on this question have
been declared to be contrary to the
constitution, and for this reason could
not command the support of many
staunch temperance members of con-
gress. 1t is believed that this bill Will
pass muster.-Baptist Courier.
But don't let us get too enthusiastic
over it. The favorable report on this
bill may very probably be taken as re-
cognition of the Prohibition sentiment;
but not much more than that. The
matter has been delayed until the last
minute and at the next session of con-
gress it will probably be buried, leav-
ing the Prohibitionists nothing to do
but continue the fight.

volts and he went to the ground as
though he had been struck with an
axe,
There was nobody with Mr.. Nc
Clure at the time except negro help
er, who could think Of nothing else
to do but holler for help; but lucky
chance brought assistance in another
form. Young Spencer, who was also
working on Kings Mountain street,
come along riding to dinner on his
bicycle and saw Mcclure as he went
down. He rode instantly to the spot
and seeing and taking in the situation
at a glance, the man unconscious and
smoke rising from the place where
the wire was in contact with his burn
ing wrist, he shouted a warning mot
to touch him." and hurried on to the
transformer house at the Nicely mill.
about 200 yards distant, and knocked
out the switch. The whole thing did
not require more than fifteen to thirty
seconds, and when Spencer got back
he found the doctors and others doing
what they could to secure resuscita-
tion.
Mcclure was unconscious for some
thing like five minutes in all, and come
to quite gradually. His first ques-
tion was as to the meaning Of the big
crowd around him, and 1t was not un-
til he was told to look at his burned
hand that he began to realize what all
the trouble was about. Within fifteen
or twenty minutes he had recovered
sufficiently to admit Of his safe re-
moval, and within a few hours he was
all right again.
Young Mcclure, who has been hold
ing his position with the Water. Light
and Power department under Super
intendent DuPre for several months
has made many friends in Yorkville,
and during the time 1t was thought
that he had been killed, everybody
who heard the news was profoundly
shocked. The news that he had re-
covered proved a most gratifying re-
lief.
Young Spencer, whose prompt and
intelligent action did so much to avert
what would otherwise have been IA
tai tragedy has come in for good
deal Of well-deserved praise on ac-
count Of the highly creditable manner
In which he conducted himself.
After 1t was all over 1t developed
that the deadly wire had been down
but few minutes, at most It had
been broken by the limb Of tree that
had just been felled in Mr.. J. M. STAIRS
yard. DR.. r. A. Bratton had passed by
that way just as Mcclure came up. and
had driven out Of the way Of the wire.
That was how he happened to be on
hand 80 quickly after the current had
been shut off and why he was able to
be Of valuable assistance in the work
Of resuscitation. Mr.. Mcclure had fixed
the power wire substantially the day
before and when he approached the
broken wire he thought it was the one

Gold Supply and High Prices.-In

my opinion the chief original offender
is the increased supply Of gold which
has been so marked during the past
fifteen years. Suppose s100,O00.O00 of
new gold is mined in this country dur
ing a given year. writes Professor
Davis r. Dewey in the Delineator. Af-
ter being coined it will be spent by the
owners in exchange for commodities, or
deposited in banks, by which, in turn,
1t will be loaned.
Neither miner nor bank wishes to
keep the gold a day longer than neces-
sary. A wheat-grower may withhold
his grain from the market in the hope
of getting a higher price, but the mi
ner and bank never think of the price
Of gold-whether more could be pur-
chased year hence by withholding it
from the market: their action Is in
stantaneous and Immediately creates a
demand for commodities. The only
condition on which the bank might re-
tain the gold would be to employ it as
a reserve on which credit currency of a
far larger amount might be created.

Saturday night that he had been held
up and robbed by three unknown men
at a point between the Manchester mill

secured. Mr.. Wallace did not notify
an officer before leaving for his home
in Yorkville. being anxious to catch
the last train. He told Mr.. Sealey,
with whom he boarded while In the

nearly as he could the affair. He stat

Columbia, August IL: John j..
Jones, the Branchville attorney, must
serve ten years and thirty days in the
state penitentiary on the charge of kill
ing Abe Pearlstine more than a year
ago. The supreme court Saturday for
the second time denied new trial to
Jones. He has been confined at the
state penitentiary for several months.
The judgment of the Orangeburg court
was affirmed on the first appeal. Later
the attorneys appealed to the supreme
court on the ground of after discovered
evidence and that the jury box was
irregularly made up. The circuit judge
refused the motion and the attorneys
for the defendant appealed to the su-
preme court on the ground that the
failure of the jury commissioners to
pass enjointly on each name placed in
the box was violation of the law fa-
tai to the validity of the presentment
of a grand jury and the conviction of
a petit jury as drawn.

We can understand that paragraph
in part; but we cannot understand

TRANSFERS STRIKE

Between three and four thou
sand members of transfers local
No. .705 went on strike today.
The strike tied up all the big
teaming and carriage companies
completely, but it is not expected
to last long.
The contract of the union with
the owners association recently
expired. The men demanded a
wage increase.
There are two rival unions of
teamsters in the city, and two
rival associations of owners.
The local Transfers union
made a new contract with the
Carriage Club of the owners,
which granted a wage increase of
81 a week.
A few days later, the Team
Owners association, of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Team
sters, granted its men an increase
of 81 so.
Local No. 7O5 promptly de-
manded similar increase. An
all night session between the men
and the employers was held last
night, at which no agreement was
reached.
This morning, the men walked
out, leaving their teams idle. The
strike was without one instance
of disorder.
Both the owners of the Carriage
Club and the officials of Local No.
.705 are satisfied that a settlement
will be reached before another
dav is passed.

CURRENT COMMENT
Boats on Champlain Safe?

From the Titanic, the largest ship
that ever floated on the seas surface,
to the passenger boats or the pleasure
craft on Lake Champlain, is quite a
drop. truly, but it is only in degree
and not in kind. The lives carried by
the lake boats are just as precious to
someone as were those on the mon
ster liner, and that they may not be
snuffed out it is just as important that
precautions Of an adequate nature be
taken. 1t does not have to be argued
that icebergs are not native to the lake
waters. but it can be argued that there
are other forms in which disasters OF
the waves present themselves and no
craft, be it large or small, is immune.
1t may be asked then, whether all
that humans can do has been done to
make these craft safe. Has the little
pleasure boat its full equipment of life
preseryers, its signals, and the like?
Are the larger passenger steamers so
equipped that not a single life would be
lost in case of some disaster which Just
now it is difficult to picture, but which,
nevertheless, might occur? Lake Cham
plain is larger than the Rhine and its
