Charleston, S. C., March 13.—The
killing of Captain F. W. Lawson on
Tu swftW last was o.ie of the mifst start
ling crimes e er committed in South
Ca olipa.
Dr. U B. McDo v, thjslayer, is a young
physician, a married man, and the father
o several eh ldren. He is- looked upon
here by the medical faculty as a physic
ian of bad p actives, 'and a low fellow;
Hispra - ice is am nig the negroes to a
great extent, and altogether lie 1 ears an
odoro s no oriety in this city. He lives
near i aptain Dawson's reside. ce. his of
fice be ng scarcely a hundred yards
away. V, liile Me - ow bears a generally
bal reputation, he is, suspected of no
crimes, and as the evidence comes out
hLs killing of Captain Daw.-on seems
more and mo e the result of a.h t quar
rel between then*.
The woina i in the case is a Fren ch
nurse. When Captain Daw ton returneJ
from his last trip to Europe he brought
back with h in a mademoi elle to con
tinue the instruction of his ?hil Iren In
the French language.
THE PROPOSED ROUTE.
The projected route is from New York
across North America to a point beyond |
the northwestern boundary of the United *
States; thence to Behring straits; across |
there to the coast of Asia; across Asia
and Europe. Tire great gap is at present
across Siberia, where there is no rail
road. However, the recent movements
of the Russian government tend towards
putting rails across this territory. From
the western continent of Europe to the
Ural mountains there is now communica
tion by rail, and the czar of Russia is
said to be much interested in two lines
of railway # across* Asia. These roads
terminate on the eastern shores of the
Pacific, the one terminating at Oren
burg, the other at Ekaterinburg. But
in order to make the chain of railway
around the globe complete, the distance
from St. Petersburg to Behring straits
must be traversed. This region has not
yet a single line of railway.
The Russian government, feeling the
necessity of spanning this territory, has
sanctioned a line of railway to be built
across it, terminating at Vladivistock
[ near Japan, almost due west from Port
land; Ore. The continents of Asia and
America are much nearer at this parallel
than further south, but not near enough
for the purposes of international railway
communication. For this there must be
a branch line leaving the Russian road
a considerable distance west from Vla
divistock and running up through Siberia
to Behring straits.
It is understood that the crossing of
Behring -straits is perfectly practicable.
In the narrowest place they arc but ten
miles wide and are full of islands, so
that bridges can be thrown from one to
another. During a portion of the year
the straits are open and cars could be
crossed on boats the same as across the
river between Detroit and Windsor,
Canada.
The principal American tract unpro
vided for is across Alaska. As yet there
is no move to traverse this country,
which is almost an unknown wilderness.
But with the rapid pushing westward on
tho continent and the valuable products
to bo gained from Alaska, it is probable
that not many years will elapse before
the American Pacific roads will be

Sir Richard Cartwright is a descendant
of one of those Americans who found it
expedient to leava the United States on
the close of tlie Revolution—gentlemen
commonly called “Tories” in the United
States, but politely styled United Empire

ants form a very honorable class. Though

father, Rev. R. D. Cartwtfjht, was at

member of tho parliament from 1792 till
1815. Sir Richard i3 53 years old. entered

Queen Victoria in 1879. He entered

At this point a friend came in and his
next remarks were uddiessed to the visi
tor. As the doctor did not voluntarily
’return to his interrupted narrative to the
rep rt. r, the lntter did not press him
further, but retired leaving him in con
versation with seve-al who were now
around. He appeared excited, and a
twitch of ei.her pain or emotion crossed
his countenance occasionally.
The go.erness, who was the cause of
the trouble, cannot bo seen. McDow
wais alone with Captain Dawson, in his

He evidently attempted to dig a grave
under the staircase of the

were tom-up aud the ground dug some

There is much excitement. Flags are
