If the matter is closely followed and systematically worked it may yet be possible to retain the office in Sanford". E. P. Wearer, a young Englishman, living a short distance down lake Eustis, made a curious capture the other day. He had a trap set for a wild cat, and on going to it found one of the oddest freaks of nature ever seen in the State. The creature, which was held fast by a foreleg, had a head and forequarters exactly like that of a pig, while, the rest of the body was perfect ali gatwr. It was about two feet, long and grunted with rage as he approached it. Having some rope with him he succeeded in securing the monstrosity, and took it home with him He shippod it to the New York Zoological gardens. One duy last week a young son of Edward Love, living near Quincy, came up to the house and told him there was a fine buck in a pine thicket near his house. Mr. Love took his old true and tried muzzle-loader and proceeded to put iu a very large ebargo of |>owder and shot, loading only one bar rel. Ho then went to the thicket, and sent a little negro boy in to run out the deer. He did not have long to wait, for soon out sprang a fine buck and doe within about thirty paces of whci'e he stood. Up went the gun, and a snap was the result, and away went the deer. He was very much provoked of course, and was loud iu his abuse ut Mr. Wilks for putting in a poor gun tube. His son not being satisfied, went and examined the gun a few days afterwards aud found tho powder in tho right hand barrel, and the shot and cap in the left hand barrel. Mr. Love has taken back all he said about the gun tube.

Tho other two, Will Weston, of Brunswick, Ga., and George Bingham, of San Mateo, were drowned. When our informant left Ormond Messrs. Connell, Watson and Elsworth, assisted by several darkies, were drag ging the river for tho bodies of the un fortunate men. A When the squall struck the boat the negrecs hoc amt; panic stricken and lost entire control of it, and when taken from the water the eight survivors wore more dead than alive from fright. Had it not been for tbedaring bravery of Mr. Aras den and other white men in going to their rescue in the heavy sea, there is no doubt but the entire party would have perished. SOUTH CAROUrtA. Three negroes were admitted to practice law at Columbia Friday. The Piedmont Manufacturing Company of Greenville has declared a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent. The annual contest for the debaters' and declaimers’ medal of the Clariaophic Society of the South Carolina College at Columbia will be held in tho hall of the society ou the evening of May 28, the time fixed being the same os that already announced for the com petition in the Euphradian Society. At Columbia the State Board of Railroad Equalization met Wednesday and organized by the election of Secretary of State Leitner as chairman and Mr. Wintlirop Williams as clerk. The board is composed of the Secre tary of State, Comptroller General, State Treasurer and Attorney General Comp troller General Stoney handed in returns of property from all the railroads of the State, twenty-nine in number, but because of the enforced absence of Attorney General Earle in Augusta, no action was taken as to the valuation of railroad property, and tho board adjourned to meet again on May 25. There are at present 657 patients in the State lunatic asylum at Columbia, about as large a number as has ever been there. Of these 180 are white males, 204 white females, 140 colored males and 133 colored females. More sickness prevails in the institution now than there has been for a very long time. There are sick in bed 19. taking medi cine 146. extra diet 142, noisy 80, destructive 31, secluded 7, restrained 6. There are em ployed 254 patients, as follows: Laundry 14, kitchen 11, farm 26, grounds 26, barn 4, housework 63, sewing room 83, wards 86. There aro 86 who are allowed to walk and ride. That portion of western Clarenden county, lying between Panola and Fulton, was visited by a hail and rain storm, accompa nied with a gale of unusual severity, on the night of May 9. Great damage to crops was sustained, and several buildings were blown down and unroofed. Immense fields of cotton and corn present a scene of devas tation and ruin. It is estimated that at least 600 acres of cotton will have to be wholly replanted, while a much larger area will require a partial replanting. Cotton seed is scarce and in great demand. Corn is considerably damaged, but not to the same extent as cotton. The storm did not extend as far up as Fulton. At Newberry on Monday Jeff Williams shot and killed Weldon Nelson. Both are colored and live on Mr. P. B. Workman’s place, about twelve miles west of the court house. The Coroner held an inquest Tues day. A warrant was issued for "Williams, but, as yek he has not been arrested. Williams''wife told her husband that Nelson made a criminal assault upon her on Mon day, ami as soon as AVilLiams learned this he borrowed a pistol and hunted up Nelson and shot him four times, one ball going through the brain. Williams remained in the neigh borhood until Wednesday morning, just before the Coroner arrived. He will lie ar rested in a day or two. It is understood that Williams and Nelson had a quarrel over a game of cards in February of this year, and it may be that the old grudge had some thing to do with the shooting, The stockholders of the Clifton mills held their annual meeting at Spartanburg Wedesday. The old directors were re elected. The President's report showed that the mill hail been doing wen, and the indi cations are that the hard times and short dividends, or rather no dividends of the last two years, are about to pass away. The stockholders have faith in Pacolet water power, for they agreed to build a sec ond mill, about half a mile below Clifton, at the Cannon shoals. They will begin work at once, and have the mill, with about 15,000 spindles, in opperation before the beginning of the next year. There will be SIOO,OOO of stock to be raised for this new mill, the old stockholders having the prefer ence iu taking this new stock. When this mill is built and furnished with hands the population will run up to 2,000 or more, and this where, ten years ago, it was a desolate, woc-begone looking country. That shows what concentrated capital, wisely managed as this has been, can do. A severe hail storm passed over a narrow strip near Salem, Black river, Sunday evening. In the centre of tho storm, which seems to have passed over Messrs. John ston’s store and Col. Muldrow’s resident*, tho ice was banked up in some places four feet deep at 1 o’clock Monday. Twigs half an inch thick were broken oil of the trees, and the ground was covered with leaves and stems. At Col. Muldrow’s, dead chickens, turkeys aud goslings were carried off by the basket full. He lost over 100 small "chickens. A number of snakes have been found deoil in the fields. Col. Muldrow’s garden, always the most advanced in the neighborhood, is ruined. The stricken farmers have gone to work, aided by their more for tunate neighbors, and Monday Col. Mul drow finished planting over “ his cotton. Messis. Johnston Bros, are well advanced in replanting their largo crop. It is gener ally hoped that the corn will come out., hut oats are badly damaged. It is remarkable how the had stones froze together in the drifts. Lumps weighing twenty or thirty pounds could lie broken off with a stick, and it would then hold together for some time. Most of the stones were about the size of patridge eggs, though a great many as large as hen eggs were found just after the storm. Bank officers at Columbia are puzzled by the performances of a stranger of peculiar appearance who has been in the city for several days. Upon hisarrival he registered at tlie Hotel Jerome as Ned Gaston, Wash ington city. Thui-sday morning he ap peared at the Central National Bank anti exhibited to Cashier Sawyer a section of a counterfeit silver dollar, and said that he was alter a man who liad been passing bo gus coin of this denomination, as well as $5, $lO and S2O bills. He freely discoursed on thequality of the counterfeits, and said that he was A. J. Pearce, a United States govern ment detectective from New Orleans. He had spotted his man, ho de clared. and thought that he would bo able to arrest bun during the night. Ascertaining from the cushier that the bank would forward for him a draft on a New Orleans Itank, ho drew up one for S3BO and turned it over to the collection clerk to be forwarded and collected. Later in the day he went to tho Commercial Bank and sent through that institution another draft on Now Orleans, this time for $l5O. At tho Conunercinl Bank he represented his name to be E. Gns ton. He again visited the Central Bank and I'eported thnt he had arrested his man and would take him to Charleston. He had, he said, a check on a Charleston bank which he would like the bank to collect for him. Then he changed his mind and went to the Loan and Exchange Bank and opened a conversation there about collec tions, giving bis name as 0. Brooks. Cashier Walker, having heard something of his movements, told him that ho had too many names, and that he would have to be identified. He went uway and appeared again at the Central Bank with a check on the Southern Bunk of Savannah for $l5O purporting to be signed by T. B. Bromfield in favor or A. J. Pearce. This he wanted to collect on. The cashier required an in dorser. Ha went off and brought tho paper back with the name M. B. AVillis indorsed on it, saying that it was the signature of the manager of the Hotel Jerome. Cashier •Sawyer informed him tlrat those were not Mi'. AVillis' initials. Then tho stranger declared them to I* those of Mr. AVillis’ younger brother. Mr. Bawyer know that Mr. AV illis had no brother in the city, and took end held the check. His suspicions being now actively excited, he telephoned to the gtiftirihouso and ascertained that no arrest of a counterfeiter had Ix-en made. He interviewed J. A. AA ll lis, of tho Hotol lerome, anil was assured that no one named M. li AVillis was at the hotel. Lastly ho notified the police of the circumstances and requested them to anest the man. He has not been found. He is be lieved to be either a crank or a cracksman seeking acquaintance with tho interior ar rangements of the banks. THE PINE BARREN MURDER. Jeff Lowe, Captured in Alabama, Said to be the Murderer. FVom the Peiuacola (Fla.) Commercial. The readers of the Daily Commercial will doubtless remember a special dispatch from Pine Barren on Wednesday of last week, stating that the day before a white man and a colored man were seen walking together on the railroad track going north, and that next morning the white man was found murdered in a swamp close to the railroad. It was supposed by the people in that vicinity that the man had been murdered bv his colored companion of the day before. The body was buried, but not before a piece of his pantaloons had been cut out, to be used in evidence if it should become neces sary. The negro was well known all along the line, and had but recently served a term in the penitentiary for an attempt to shoot young Croary at Bluff Springs iu 1885. His name is Jeff Lowe. Immediately after the dead body had been disposed of Mr. McMillan, of the McMillan Mill Company, of Pine Barren, started a man on the trail of Lowe. In a day or two the man returned and Mr. Wiggins, also in the employ of Mr. McMillan, staided out after Lowe. Ho ascertained that Lowe had sto plied at a certain point further up the rood and engaged in friendly intercourse with other colored men. in the course of which he opened a valise, disclosing to view a coat and vest matching the piece taken from the pantaloons of the murdered man. He remarked that he bad a hetter pair of shoes thanVhoes he was then wearing, and taking a pair from the valise he endeavored to put them on, but they were much too small for him. A shirt the valise contained was stained from having been worn over a red flannel undershirt, and the valise con tained no red flannel undershirt. Lowe himself did not have one, and the murdered mail wore a red flannel undershirt. From that point, his companion understood, he shipped his valise by express to Montgomery and started after it, walking and beating his way. Mr. Wiggins and a companion then went to Montgomery, where they found that the valise had not arrived; they also ascertained that instead of having been shipped to Montgomery, the article had been sent to Fort Deposit. To the latter place they went, and found the bird flown—this time to Know Hill They kept on the trail and ran their man down in a cedar swamp about four miles from Snow Hill, captured him and brought him to this city, arriving yesterday. Lowe is now in the county jail Lowe says he went up the road in the cars from Molino, was not the man in company With the white man tound murdered, and did not stop at Pine Barren. The people of Pine Barren assert most positively that Lowe is the man who was with the white man the day before the murder. Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa.
