ACCIDENTAL KILLING
OF NEGRO GAMBLER

Rural Policeman 0nings Shot Ne
gro Who Tried to Make Escape Af-
ter Capture.
David Hamp, negro gambler from
Greenville, was killed short dis
tance from where the Mt Carmel col
ored fair was being held Thursday
afternoon by Rural Policeman Colum-
bus Owings. According to the story
OF Mr. Owings, the killing was pure
ly accidental and he has been accord
ingly exonerated by the coroner's
jury.
The colored fair is an annual event
and David Hamp seems to have come
down to make a haul off OF the coun-
try negroes. A game of cards was in
progress, when the rural policeman
sprung surprise and pounced upon
the players. The other negroes made
good their escape, but David Hamp
was caught by the Policeman The
game was being played on the ground,
with Hamps overcoat serving as a
table. When Mr.. Owings, holding his
prisoner by the arm, reached down to
the overcoat to clean off the table of
cards, money, etc, Hamp attempted to
make a break to get away. Mr.. Ow-
ings was holding him by the sleeve
with a pistol in the same hand. AS
the negro made tug, he automatical-
ly caused the fingers of the rural po-
lceman to contract. causing the trig-
ger to be pulled. The cartridge ex-
poded, the bullet entering the side OF
the negro. He died shortly after
wards.
In the clothes Of the negro were
found three decks of cards. an liver
Johnson pistol and other articles, inn
plicating him as a professional gam
bier.
AS the killing appeared to the coro-
ner's jury to be clearly accidental, no
warrant was sworn out and it Is hard
ly probable that any trial Of Mr.. Ow-
ings will be held.

Charleston, Nov. 1.-THE three di-
visions Of the Atlantic fleet arrived in
port early this afternoon being well
coined by a crowd of many thousand
people who lined the battery and the
wharves as the big ships came into
the harbor and proceeded to their an
chorage ground. 1t was a magnificent
sight to see the ocean leviathans as
they steamed into port in single col
umn formation, the somber business
like gray color being lightened by the
display of the flags of the various
fleet and ship officers and the signal
colors as they foated in the breeze
The ships came through the new
straight channel with a neap tide and
north wind which did not add to
the depth Of water, yet there was an
abundance Of water. The North
Dakota and the Utah, the heaviest
draft ships, drawing 29.4 and 28.5
feet respectively, came through the
new straight channel which is pro-
jected to take the place of the Cum
mings point range, with its two turns.
A Deep Harbor.
The ships required no easing and
that there was moru than "a feet at
the minimum depth spoke we'll for
the harbor, and the fact was freely
commented upon by the officers. The
dredging Of the channei is still under
way and will prove especially useful
to long big draft ships.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus was Off
cially visited by the committee on
reception this afternoon. The party
was very cordially received aboard
and entertained in the admiral's cabin.
1t was particular pleasure to many
of the committee to meet Capt. w.

ship. who is we'll known here, he hav-
ing been for couple Of years inspec-
he was as well pleased to meet his
Charleston friends. The committee

The only visitors to the ships this
afternoon were those having business
of an Official character. Besides the
committee on reception, Col. Lud-
low Of the army post and Command
ant Helm Of the Charleston navy yard
visited the vessels, paying their re-
spects.
Thousands See Ships.
TIE water front was literally black
with people and the narbor was alive
with moving craft of every descrip-
tion. 1t Is estimated that not less
than 25,0g0 saw the ships at anchor
this evening, Their launches were
moving freely between the wharVes
and the city tonight, several thousand
seanen are on the street and they
are having lively time in celebrating
their leave. Charleston is already
rapidly filing up with visitors. The
hotel Hobbies are lively places tonight,
and there are many strangers on the
streets. fl
The fair opens at $50 o'clock to-
morrow with an address by Mayor
Grace and the round Of festivities will
be in full blast for week with the
naval features occupying a prominent
part in the programme OF the week.
The weather is ideal with indications
