Mr. Trammell went back for his wife and others to go down, and when they arrived Mrs. Chapman was dead. When dressing her for burial they noticed bruised and black places on her neck and shoulders. .Little was said of the matter, and she was buried without an examination being made. We understand that the Ordinary was no tified a short time after the occurrence, but did not take any action in the matter. Tom Padgett was shot by his guard near Statetiville Tuesday evening last about dark while trying to escape. A load of buckshot took effect in the left arm, and he was quickly secured and carried back to Ktatenville. where his wounds were ex amined and dressed.

Miss Mary Dickson was the winner by re citing 634 verses, Miss Orian Thompson fol lowed with 485 verses, and Miss Emma Gregory recited 233. The exercises were very interesting, and the children were highly elated. At Tampa the returns are in from all but three precincts in Hillsborough county. The “dry" men claim Keysville by 39, arid Moody School-house by 26 majorities. Con ceding this, the “dry” majority in the county is 6, with Little Manatee to hear from. This precinct very seldom votes, and if it does it will certainly go “wet” by 6or 8. This is conceded. The result will not Fie positively known until to-day. At Green Cove Springs Circuit Court ad journed Frida j' for the term, after full four days’ session, during which a numlier of cases were disposed of. Among the crimi nal cases was one against Mack Williams for an assault with intent to murder, com mitted upon the person of Jesse Jones, Fjoth colored.

The case of the State of Florida, against E. A. Houghton and others, for obstructing a railway, was also tried with a similar result. The grand jury in their general presentments, after mak ing a thorough examination of a large nrar, ber of witnesses, also had the steamer Twi light broughr to the wharf, and a large committee from their Fmdy examined the Fioat and determined that the late Grant Conner, engineer on said boat, was mur dered, and requested that the County Com missioners offer a reward of SSOO for proof to convict the murderer.

MarlFioro Chronicle: From what we can gather the revenue business of this section is no better than it was under Re publican rule. The same old witnesses* are still used anti the people are annoyed almost as much as ever. It is a little strange that District Attorney Ynumans and .Marshal Boykin do not hiok a little more closely into the matter and have some of the devilish business stopped. Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue .1. L. Black, of the Fifth division, Fiasresigned his position. The resignation is to take effect on Oct. 31. Col. Biack came into the service with the advent of the Democratic administration, having Fieen appointed deputy collector for the Fifth division in June, 1885, displacing H. K. Jillson. The division included the counties of Greenville, SpartanFiurg, Union, York and Laurens The fear has been expressed that the legislative halls would not Fie finished in time for the next session. Architect Neil son, who is in the city, says that they will tie ready in amide time: and. indeed, the rapid progress which is now being made should complete them by fair week. The library and the hall between the two chain tiers will Fie found by the legislators in a very ragged condition, and Fie will lie an ex ceedingly economic member who will (Dot vote an appropriation to finish them. The State Board of Agriculture, held' a regular meeting Wednesday at Coluirioia, and considered especially matters connected with thej experimental sta tions. AYork is progressing satisfactorily at the Spartanburg station and the superin tendent's house will be completed in tile course of six weeks The board await the arrival of the titles to the land occupied by the Darlington station before beginning work there. J. D. McCall was elected superintendent of the station at Darling ton, and will take charge of it in October. While Rev. Dr. H. W. Kuhns, formerly pastor of the Newberry Lutheran Church, was a missionary in the West about twenty - five years ago, he invested about SI,OOO in real estate in Omaha, Neb., then a town of 600 inhabitants The town has grown to Fie a city of 100,000 people, and Dr. Kuhns's investment has increased in value as rapidly' as the growth of the city, and his property is now worth a considerable amount. He has resigned the pastorship of the Lutheran Church at Westminster, Md , and will re move to Omaha about the middle of Octo ber. He will continue in the ministry. It is rumored that the authorities in charge of the AVilson Short Cut railroad contemplate building, at a very early day, a branch road from the six-mile point of the Short Cut direct to Bennettsville. This branch road would leave the town of Little Rock, whose citizens are anxious for it to be Fiuilt by that place, five or six miles to the right. It is said that the object in locating the branch road as atxive indicated is to Fie nearer the line of water transportation on the Great Pee-Dee river, so as to compete therewith for the freights in the wide scope of counrty lietween Little Rock ami the river. About a month or three weeks ago George AV. Price, a mulatto, arrived at Marion from AVilmington, and began an auction Fmsiness. At that time an ordinance of the Town Council required all transient auctioneers and traders to pay #3 for a license to vend their wares within the corporate limits of the town. This Price readily jiaid." Since his advent here the council amended the ordinance by making the license tee #lO instead of #2 a day. This Price refused to pay, Fiut the council arrest ed him. He demanded a jury, and on last Monday night the case was heal'd and the jury made a mistrial. Another trial will Fie had The AA r Oman’s Christian Temperance Union, of Union, has severed its connection with the State and National Union, on account of the “AVoman suffrage" element contained in official printed matter, and in the addresses of soma of its leading advo cates lately in the North and South. When these women joined the AYoman’s Christian Temperance Union they were not iuformed that such a plank existed in the National platform. It certainly was not embodied m the printed work on organization fur nished them, and as soon as they realized the fact they indignantly withdrew. Wo man suffrage would double the colored vote of the South. It would add but very little to the white vote. News reached Clark's Hill, Edgefield coun ty, AVednesday, that a difficulty occurred Tuesday near the Shaw mill, between Isome Hilery and Pete McCarthey, in which the former was seriously wounded in the head with large slugs, and is not expected to re cover. It seems Isome has b.x*n threatening Pete’s life for several months, and about a week since he forbade Pete traveling a public road leading near Isoine’s house. Yesterday Pete had occasion to travel the road to haul cotton to the gin, and suspect ing that Isome might interfere with him, he prepared himself with a shotgun. The two met in the road and Isome said to Pete: “1 forbade you traveling this mad and prom ised to kill you, and lam going to do it,” whereupon Pete shot him in the face and through the head. Pete lias not disappeared and says he does not intend to. as he thinks he was jierfectly justifiable in shooting Isome. Charles Kii .on, son of Rev. Mr. Kirton, of the South Carolina Conference, for some time has been suffering with occasional mental derangement. When under the in fluence of these spells he has a strong desire to do himself harm. Oil Monday lie bor rowed a shotgun from a neighbor, and when returning home, at Holly Hill, he was seized with a desire to shoot himself. When he got near the door of his father's residence he placed the muzzle of the gun beneath his chin and discharged it. The charge frac tured lsith maxillary bones, tearing off a part of his tongue and making a very serious and ghastly wound. By Tuesday morning he had recovered from the shock and greatly regretted his rash net. He could not speak *> as to Fie understood, but com municated with his family and friends by writing. The charge of shot made no wound of exit. His attending physician says that it is impossible as yet to foretell the result. Dr. Culp, of Spartanburg, reports n case of gravel bating in Union county. Years ago a white man in this county, who was very robust and strong, had a puny, deli cate. measly-looking son about fifteen years old. The father thought his boy was in dulging in some injurious habit and hr began to watch him. <hi > day the boy was working in anew ground and the father notice ! that he would stoop down and put something in his mouth. Investigation showed that, when he ca ne to a piar'e where t here was a lot of nice, smooth, clean gravel, he would load up. The father did not send for a doctor but he grabbed up a green hickory root that had been broken off by th' 1 plow, and in about fifteen minutes de stroved all taste for gravel. After this loosening up of the hide the boy improved in health and beeame quite strong. Another singular case that came under observation was a sand-eating negro about 5 years old. The little lellow would go under the eaves of a house where the sand was fine and clean, and lick it up as though w *f *,.j Fiest thing that, ever passed his Ft uia not seem to hurt him. A Fiout a year ago a man by the nsi lie of Toney was discharged from the mil? at Spartanburg for what was eousidered a good reason iiy the Niqierintendeut and President. About Sept.. 1 he was given a temporary job until a certain sick man re covered. with the distinct understanding that there was no permanent place for him AVhen the sick man returned Toney was tiaid Ifor his work. A committee of the Knights of Labor railed on ttie Superintend ent and demanded that Toney lie employed. There 1 icing no need for him the company refused to do this. TJien came the strike, which deprived the mill of a hundred hands or more. They left without any cause whatever, and did not make any proposi tion to return to work. An outsider, not connected with the mill, acted as spokes man for the strikers, and -aid that they would all return it received as Knights of Igibor. The company did not consider this as a proposition, as it i> their custom to hire hands as individuals. Now the company is endeavoring to evict the strikers from its houses. The company owns the houses in which the hands live. They are not gen erally rented. A family is permitted to take possesion of a h- >u*e on the condition that a certain number of hands are furnished for the taftt The house is retained so long as the hands work. When, for any cause, they cease to work, then the hold on the house ceases. OCALA'S PROSPERITY. The Future of the Thriving Littlri-City Full of Promise. Ocala, Fla., Oct. I.—Homing pigeons are seeking the dovecotes of Florida. Every train is bringing back those who have Fieen enjoying their summer outings at their former homes, or amongst the mountains and springs, or at the seaside. Familiar faces, absent during the Fieated term, are again met with on the thoroughfares of the town. Our solid little city is fast assuming metropolitan airs. The new and efficient municipal lioard has taken at a Found a leap far in advance of their pve leeessors. so much so a.- to fairly startle the old sotier residents. They have inaugurated, within sixty days, three separate and distinct im provements that other towns take a decade to organize These consist of a splendid system of water supply, an electric light plant, and the paving with native rock the principal streets The latter industry has progressed so far as the streets surrounding court house square. Next will Is* Magnolia street,from tb>‘ business portion of the town tothe Florida Railway and Navigation depot, then Osceola street, upon which the Florida Southern railway penetrates the town. The right of way over this street was granted years ago upon expressed condition that the railway eoiinany should grade and pave the street, but which has been evaded or post poned until the-present. The municipal gov ernment has notified the Florida Southern railway that they must comply, or they will know why the delay continues. No town in the State has better surround ings for eqlidprosperity than the metropolis of Central Florida. A large tract of rich, high hummock extends for miles to the south and southeast of the town, in which are many of the fine orange groves and vegetable farms which make Marion county famous, and within a radius of five miles'of the city these industries, in money value, run well up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our merchants and business men are active and pushing and people clever and enterprising, and Ocala's future rings with no uncertain sound. Apropos of the Emigration Convention, that assembled in Jacksonville last month, happened an incident that had a close paral lel in your own city In the good old ante- Fjellum days there came from the rural dis trict a Georgia granger who had never tie fore strayed fir from his native heath, who stopped at the old and popular Pulaski Hotel life was a great novelty to him. Seat ing himself at the breakfast table, he noticed Fiefore him a glass stand filled with crisp and toothsome celery. Our country cousin thought it a table decoration, as he was unacquainted with its use. Soon after taking his seat, another guest of the house came in and took a seat opposite, and drawing the glass to him helped himself, and began with evident relish to enjoy the succulent celery. Not to apiiear awkward, the country man did like wise, but did not show' the same enjoyment as his neighbor. Shortly after the waiter served the breakfast, and amongst other dishes, tendered dressed shrimp. The coun tryman looked first at the celery then at the shrimp, and push ing them away, said ,to the waiter, “take ’em away, Fioy. I can make out to cat your grass, blit I can’t go them bugs.’ The Marion county delegate was one of the guests at the splendid banquet given bv the citizens of Jacksonville, at Murray Hall, Pablo Beach at which he was offered dressed shrimp. Looking suspiciously at them a moment he said to the waiter “I reckon I know silk worms when I see them, take 'em away.” The latter incident is a fact related by other delegates present at the Fianquet. Yours truly, Al. I. Gator. TO PROTECT MINERS. An Invention Which, it is Claimed, Will Prevent Many Disasters. From the Philadelphia Press. An exhibition of a recently patented ap paratus designed to warn coni miners of the presence of explosive gases in dangerous proportions in tho works was given last evening in the Franklin Institute. The arrangement ‘consists of a pump, which brings a stream of an . rom the breast where the miners are working and passes it before a flariie in the office above ground, causing-a slight explosion and sounds a gong. A movement of a lever in the works changes the current of air in the communi cating tube and blows a whistle in the dan gerous breast. The miner answers by pinch ing the rubber hose on the end of the tube, causing an answering whistle to sound in the mine office A code of signals in various languages is arranged for almost instan taneous communication between the miner and the office above ground by means of these whistle signals. Moreover, in case a chamber caves in and cuts the miner off from an exit, as in the Nantieoke disaster, a signal from the im prisoned miner would cause the operator ulmve to send fresh air to him in sufficient quantity to support twenty men, aud com munication between the prisoners and help ing friends could Ik* kept up. The inventor demonstrated the practical workings and mechanical principles of the apparatus and described the horrors of a mine explosion and the present inaccurate means of being forewarned of their approach in terms sufficiently graphic to interests good-sized audience. Know It Had Wool on It. From the Pierson Adennre Hooky Snowball, a tio.year- >kl young lady of the colored persuasion, had tecu reared on a Georgia stock larm, and knew more about sheep than theology. The other night she went to Possum-trot Tabeniaclu to hear Ihe Rev. Wilyum Whangdoodle, an ebony Bible banger from Last Chance. Rev. Whangdoodle got up and said: “Behold, two chickens am sold for a quar ter, yet not one can he taken away widout de storekeeper know it. Oh, how much more value is you den a dozen chickens! “My brederin an’ sisters, repent ye before you am east into a place of outer darkness, where dey will lie weepin’, an’ wailin’, an gnash in' oh teeth, an’ dem dat has no teeth (ley shall gum it.” A little more of this sort of preach ing, and Mrs. Snowball got happy and shouted: “Glory be to the wether! Glory be to the wether l” “<>b, no. my sister,"said the Rev. Whang doodle, “glory be to the lamb.” “O, yes, my brother. I knowed it was somethin’ that had wool on it." SHIPPING.
