J Proctor Knott to go to Hawaii.
Washington. Sept. I.—Senator Vance
made a great speech to-Uay. Alluding to
(; en . Gordon, he said this was the first
time that battle-scarred veteran had ever
turned his back on a cause ho espoused.
(Jen. Gordon replied that ho was as much
a friend of silver as ever, but saw no rea
son why the purposes of the silver men
mmht not be accomplished after repeal as
well as before.
Ex-Gov J. Proctor Knott is here,
on the invitation of tho President,
made through Secretary Carlisle. It is
said he will succeed Mr. Blount as minis
ter to Hawaii. He assorted that this po
sition was offered him before, but
he had declined, as he could not
give up his practice for a
temporary position. The President’s
offer now will be coupled with another,
that after the Hawaiian business is set
tled ho will he sent abroad.
MINTSTEB BLOUNT HAS RESIGNED.
The fact that this place is offered him
proves that Mr. Blount has resigned. Mr.
Cabaniss took a tilt at the postoffice de
partment tiiis morning and obtained a
promise of the appointment he asked for.
Mr. Russell to-day secured the appoint
ment of B. M. Veronee, of Albany in the
government printing office at SI,OOO.
POSTOFFICES TET UNFILLED.
Mr. Maddox has in his district five
presidcntal pos to dices yet 'to be filled,
Marietta, Tallapoosa, Cartorsville. Dalton
and Cedartown. The old incumbents
still hold these offices, and their terms
have expired. Protests have been filed
against their remaining, accompanied
by charges of offenslvo
partisianship. Mr. Maddox was
at the postotlico department to-day, but
he would not say he went there to hasten
action on these cases.
REED HEADING THE RULES OPPOSITION.
The House is still wrangling over tho
rules. In most cases there is opposition
to their adoption. It has been a fight
between the supporters of the rules as
reported and a combination of some de
mocrats and tho republicans, all under
the leadership of Mr. Kecd. Reed takes a
delight in marshaling such domocrats as
are willing to follow him against the ad'
ministration of the House. It has been
evident for some time that the repeal bill
would pass tho Senate if it, could come to
a vote, and now there appears no proba
bility that the silvermen will be able to
filibuster with any degree of success.
James J. Connell has been appointed
postmaster at Concord, Fla., vice John
w. McKlown, removed. The Senate con
firmed R. Weston Patterson. Macon, as

IN THE SENATE.
Washington, Sept. I—ln the Senate cal
endar of to-day the House bill repealing
part of the act of July 14, 1890, stands
under the head of “unfinished business,”
and the bill for the issue of circulating
notes to national banks stands at the
head of bills under the head of “general
orders.”
WHAT THIS SIGNIFIES.
The meaning of it is that at 2 o’clock
p. m. each day, if not previously taken up
on motion, the Vice President will lay
the repeal bill before the Senate, and
that, if prior to 2 o'clock p. m., the cal
endar be taken up, the bank bill will be
first in the order, ahd will remain before
the Senate until 2 p. m.
SENATOR VANCE ON THE BILL.
Silver purchase repeal bill was then
up in the morning hour to permit Mr.
Vance to speak upon it, which he did for
an hour aud forty minutes. Mr. Vance
began his speech with the statement that
the great law of supply and demand oper
ated in regard to money just as it did as
to everything else. When monoy was
abundant, prices were high; when it was
scarce, the prices of all products was low.
Therefore, he that increased the
abundance of money benefited pro
duction and enhanced prices and
wages. and he that contracted
or diminished the amount of this
money depreciated everthing that is for
sale, including wages: though, by reasonof
combinations and defensive measures in
many parts of the world, wages are affect
ed less than p: oducts. The effect upon
the condition of mankind which would
follow the destruction of one-half of
the currency of the world—amounting in
the aggregate to $7,800,000,000, it would
be impossible to accurately describe.
Still, this process of destruction has heen
going ou quietly since 1872, and its result
is seen in prices lower in many things
than had ever been known in the memory
of man.
The repeal of the law without any sub
stitute meant the end of silver money for
this generation, unless a revolution of the
people should' restore it, as it did after
tho fraudulent demonetization of 1873.
Ret no man doubt that this movement
for the repeal of the Sher
man act was tlie result of
a conspiracy among the money, holders of
the world. Our own Secretary of the
Treasury had said so. It had been re
peatedly announced in the British House
cf Commons, and nowhere denied, that
the intent of this combination was to in
crease the value of the gold in the hands
of those who held it, and increase the
Talue of all securities by making them
payable in gold.
ALLEGED METHOD OF ATTACK.
The method of attack was by the crea
tion of a panic. Mr. Vance criticised the
action of the Secretary ol the Treasury in
redeeming the not©3 Issued in payment
for bullion in gold, and said that any
technically intelligent roan would con
true that law to mean that the discretion
was to be used in favor of silver when
the condition of the treasury required
“■ The discussion of this question, Mr.
ance said, was narrowed by the fact
that all parties profess bimetallism and
nave declared for the use of both gold
and sliver in their platforms. Tn the ab
sence of a position so defiant of logic

without appearing to violate those

Permuted It to drop out of sight.
AS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Referring to tho democratic platform,
nintr ance as^ei * : “H the language of the
piattorm, taken altogether, meant only
<a. we were to oblige the bankers, bond
an<* stockbrokers first, by un
•mittonal repeal, accompanied only by a
"* urt s„ump speech in the belly of the
act. saying that is our policy at some
future time—the Ird knows when—
to do something—the Herd knows what—
in the direction of carrying out tho other
promises of the platform, were not the
ir. liters and upholders of that declara
tion of policy aud purposes open to the
charge of insincerity and of so framing
words as to deceive the people whose
suffrages they were seeking* If
such an interpretation of the
Platform as was contended
for here by those who will vote for repeal,
and presumably by the President, had
been announced during the campaign of
tho last .year, Mr Vance said he was quite
sure Mr Cleveland would not nave car
ried his state (North Carolina) by 50.000
votes, and he believed, further, that he
could uot have carried a siugla electoral
vote south of the Potomac river.
OKNF.KAI. GORDON INQUIRES.
In reply to Senator Gordon's query,
why the friends of sUvor halted between
unconditional and conditional repeal.
Mr. Vance said that by conditional repeal
we united the Democratic party, or at
least all true friends of bimetallism.
By the proposition of unconditional
repeal that was impossible. Bimetallism
was the most popular, if not tho most
potential factor in the last campaign; it
was the one plank common to all plat
forms. A comparison of the voting in
congress and in conventions before and
after the proposed repeal would form a
contrast that would put to shame the
wonder inspiring patent medicine adver
tisements "before aud after taking.”
[The wires having been interrupted
during the transmission of Senator
Vance’s Speech, at the hour of going to
press, its delivery had not been resumed.]
THE HOUSE.
Dullest of the Dull Days of the Almost
Featureless Week.
Washington, Sept. I.—ln the House, to
day, after the reading of tho journal Mr.
Weadook, dem., of Michigan, offered a
resolution postponing from to-morrow
until Sept. 15 the delivery of eulogies
upon the late J. Logan Chipman of Michi
gan. Mr, Reed said that by that resolu
tion ho supposed tho House would be ii/
session at that date. He had hoped “The
country would have been relieved’’ before
that time. The resolution was adopted.
HOUSE RULES CONSIDERED.
The consideration of the rules was
then resumed. The vote was taken on
the Boatner cloture amendment, and it
was rejected 96 to 181. Mr. Morse, rep.
of Massachusetts, offered an amendment,
prohibiting the smoking of tobacco upon
the lioor of the House at any time.
This was adopted by a vote of 55 to 51.
Some of tlie most inveterate smokers
in the House were sitting near Mr. Morse,
clouding him up while he was advocating
his amendment.
Several amendments looking to cloture
in some shape or degree and the preven
tion of filibustering, were rejected. Mr.
Morse’s amendment was the only one that
was successful.
The House, at 5 o’clock, adjourned until
to-morrow.

SENATOR BUTLER RETURNED.
He Will Do All in Hia Power to Secure
Aid for the Island Sufferers.
Washington, Sept, li—Senator Butler
returned from the south this morning, but
when he reached Washington he found a
telegram from Pprt Royal informing him
of the condition of affairs there, and urg
ing him to join with the other members
from his state and see what could be done
to relieve tho people vrbo-are in distress.
The senator will call on the Sooretary of
War in the morning and endeavor to se
cure some action by that department in
the nature of ac order providing a supply
of tents and rations for those who are
homeless and without food.
NO RELIEF FROM CONGRESS.
The senator does not see any hope of
securing relief through legislative action,
for Congress has always in the past de
clined to appropriate money for this sort
of relief, holding that that was tho duty
of the state. Mr. Butler will do every
thing in hi* power, though, to bring re
lief of soma sort to those who are suffer
ing. •

Executions and Their Antecedents.
Spartanburg. S. C., Sept. I.—The neck
of a rich and influential white man was
broken by legal process here to-day.
George S. Turner's wealth and promi
nence have availed him nothing. Though
for two years Turner was shackled to the
floor in a dark cell, not for one instant did
he manifest the least fear or show tho
slightest penitence for his crime. A
$5,000 policy on his life will go to his law
yers.
, STRAIGHTWAY FOR HEAVEN. ■
When he bade them good-by he told
them that he believed he would go to
heaven. He marched from his cell with
a firm step, passing through the yard in
tho midst of a hurd rain. As the sheriff
read the death warrant his face paled and
his hands twitched. When asked if he
had anything to say he shook his head.
Tho trap was sprung at 12:27 o’clock, and
his neck was broken. Death in 13 min
utes. By the governor’s orders tho
jail was guarded by militia, and
though hundreds of countrymen lined the
streets no demonstrations were made.
THE CRIME FOR WniCH IIE DIED.
He had scarcely escaped from tho gal
lows before he committed crimes diabol
ical, in comparison with which the killing
of the poor German was hut a circum
stance. He was married to an estimable
young lady, who had a beautiful sister
namer Clara. Turner lured the latter to
Spartanburg one day under pretense of
sending- her to school in North Carolina.
When|‘her condition became such that
concealment was impossible her brothers
vowed vengeance on Turner. They had
several bouts, and the matter finally got
in the courts on a suit against Turner for
$25,000 for seduction. The case was
markod “satisfied” before it came to trial.
The whole state was interested In tho
case of George W. Turner, in his crime
and his fato, and had watched his case in
its weary meanderings through the courts
with a great deal of interest.
He was one of the wealthiest men in
Spartanburg. He was powerful, both in
influence and in physique. His nature was
most passionate. His early life was un
known, but report charged him with sov
ral homicides. lie was of heavy build,
weighing 210 pounds, and was above the
ordinary height. lie was a due looking
man. He married Miss Susie Finger, sis
ter of the man for whose death Turner
has just paid the legal penalty. Miss
Finger belonged to a prominent family.
In 1889 a friendless German named
Metzkia was brutally and without provo
cation killod by Turner. He was convic
ted of manslaughter and sentenced to
sever! years' imprisonment in the peniten
tiary, but the supreme court granted him
anew trial and he was acquitted.
CRIMF, WHICH BEGAT CHIME.
On March 7,1890, Ed Finger aud Turn
er had some words at Turner's store near
Spartanburg. They became abusive and
a negro caught hold of Finger and pulled
him away to prevent a fuss. Turner
made the negro let Finger loose, saying
he would fix him. In tho interim Finger’s
pistol went off in his pocket In his effort
to get it out.
KILLING Bn WIFE’S BROTHER.
Tumor then fired, killing Finger, who
feil very near the spot on which poor
Metzkia did. Turner was placed in jaii
at Spartanburg. The feeling agaiust
him was very bitter, and the next morn
ing four hundred men, from his own
neighborhood, came into Spartanburg
with the avowed intention of lynching
Turner. Two hundred men from another
section of tho county were expected to
join the would-be lynchers, but for Borne
reason, they failed to turn up.
Tho excitement in tlie city was intense,
and the sheriff, the mayor and the police
officers did all they could to quiet the
crowd. They were outnumbered by a
large majority, and the only thing they
could do was to plead with the crowd.
This availed nothing. After a great
deal of parleying the would-be lynchers
took a pair of mule3 and hauled a twelve
pound field piece to the jail, which they
leveled ujion it.
SPIKING THE GUN.
The cannon had just been placed in po
sition, when Mr. W. M. Jones, editor of
the Spartanburg Herald, rushed forward
and spiked the cannon and rendered it
useless. The sheriff had brought in a
number of deputies, all armed with Win
chester rifles, having one thousand
rounds. He told the crowd that he
meant business, and, having no recog
nized leaders, the mob scattered.
The mob sent out for aid from the
country and from across the border in
North Carolina. News came of a start
ling scene. The lynchers proposed plac
ing Mrs. Finger and her daughter at the
head of the column, presuming that
Sheriff Nichols, like Coriolanus of old,
would refuse to fire on women, while the
mob could do their work. With consider
able cunning, the sheriff succeeded in
spiriting Turner out of town, where a
train was caught and the prisoner was
brought to Columbia.
THE MURDERER HAD COURAGE.
Turner was pretty gritty, and ho would
not consent to leave the jail with the
sheriff until fold of the mob’s purpose.
“1 consented,” he said, “because I was
fearful if they brought Clara there in
the night she would accidently get killod,
and I did not want her to be the breast
works for a cowardly set of men.”
Turner was tried on August 17. He
pleaded self-defense. In the course of his
argument tho solicitor said to the jury:
“Cut him off as a rotten branch, for the
good of his wife and children and the
community in which he lives.” He also
said that Turner was a man of no relig
ion and did not believe in God, heaven or
hell, and that ho said that the Bible was
made up of fuuny stories concocted by
men.
TWICE SENTENCED TO DIE.
Turner was found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged in November, 1890. An ap
peal was made to the supreme court, but
the verdict of the lower court was sus
tainod. Turner’s counsel moved for a
re-bearing, and the mandate of the su-
MEDICAL.

prcine court was suspended. Tho motion
was refused in July, 1892, and the circuit
Judge was instructed to assign anew day
for his execution. Turner's gold and
herculean efforts uud the skillful devices
of his eminent attorneys availed nothing
but a few years lease of life.
WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP THE JAIL.
On the day the supremo court made its
final decision the sheriff decided to re
move Turner to another coll, he having
been taken back to Spartanburg from Co
lumbia. It was a wise move, as it was
found that Turner had a quantity of dy
namite with which he intended to blow
up tho jail. He fought like a tiger to pre
vent his removal and the discovery of his
last de.i>orate resource for saving his
life.
THREE HANGED AT LAURENS.
Laurens, S. C., Sept. 1 -John Fergu
son, Wade Cannon and George Bowers,
all colored, were hanged at one o'clock to
day in tlie out building of the couuty Jail
yard. Ferguson was convicted of wife
murder at the last court, and Cannon and
Bowers of Arson.
Ferguson was neatly dressed and walked
with a springy step to tlie scaffold. He
acknowledged his guilt aud said he was
pi’epared to die. Cannon and Bowers pro
tested their innocence to the lust, stating
that their former confession was made
through fear. A colored minister hold
devotions at the gallows. Precisely at
1 o’clock they fell, and after the men had
been hanging for twenty minutes Dr.
Aiken pronounced them dead from stra u
gulation.
HISTORY OF FERGUSON’S CRIME.
Ferguson was 25 years of uge. He and
his wi.e lived unhappily and at
times separated. On Sunday, March
1, last. ho came into Laurens
from the country and called upon
his wife. After a few idle words with
her. he walked up behind her back, aud,
catching her he the hair, jerked her head
"hack and severed her nerit with a razor.
Kilo ids have been made to show that
Ferguson was an epileptic, and that he
killed his wife from jealousy while in a
fit of insanity. This was alleged in a pe
tition to tlie governor. It was not con
curred in by either judge or solicitor.
To a reporter he stated that he did not
mind dying, that he had nothing to live
for, and that it was immaterial to him
whether he hanged or not.
CANNON AND BOWERS 1 CRIME.
Wade Cannon and George Bowers, who
burned the barn of 1. D. Harrlston last
July, had another companion in the
crime, Charles Green, but he made an ap
peal and his sentence is suspend© i.
The men were convicted through their
own confessions. They afterwards
claimed that they worn innocent, and
that they wertrinduoed to make confes
sion under threats which they could not
resist. Neither Judge nor jury expressss
any doubt as to their guilt.
TWO AT MT. PLEASANT
Oscar Johnson and Henry Ewing Give
up Their Lives on the Gibbet.
Mt. Pleasant, S. C., Sept. 1.— I There was
a double banging here to-day. Tho vic
tims were Oscar Johnson and Henry Ew
ing, both colored. Johnson's crime was
the diabolical butchery of a well-known
white citizen, Henry T. Whitman, of Lin
colnville, and his wife, one night last
March Just'before they were closing the
store. When Johnson was captured an
attempt was made to lynch him. John
son proved to be a Georgia murderer, who
had escaped the gallows on a plea of in
sanity.
HIS FORMER CHIME.
In Augusta he had ravished his sistor
in-law, sliced off h< r head with a razor
and thrown the body into the river. Re
membering that the woman had his night
key in her pocket, he sneaked back to the
river, swam to where the body xvas boat
ing, got tlie key and went to bed as if
nothing had happeued.
He was sent to the state asylum, but
escaped and came to South Carolina. lie
tried the insanity dodge at his trial in
this state, but was sentenced to hang.
RWINO’S PERFORMANOB.
The other negro hanged was Henry Ew
ing. who killed Toney pickling. The men
had quarreled about Fickling’s mistress.
After parting Ewing deliberately pointed
his gun at Fickling. Ewing’s wife took
the cap off the gun. but ho replaced it
und fired, killing Fickling.

Berlin, Sept. I.—A hotel in Salmbach, a
hamlet in Wurtemberg Black Forest, was
