There were fow men at work, and everything was quiet, one would not be reminded of the turbulent events of the past few days wore It not for the large number of police who parade the river front. These were seen In all sorts of occupa tions. Some whittled long sticks of wood with their knives, others reading the newspapers' and several were tak ing a quiet dose In obscure cornera. Apparently, they were tired of levee duty and Ion* for the time when they will he able to return to tbelr old dis tricts, although where _ they are now. nothing more Is required of them than to Show their brass buttons and blue suits. A striking feature on the levee today was the almost entire absence of ne groes, and except for those who are members of the scrcwmen’s union not one could b» seen. It was said In a Jesting way by several screwmen that “a nl&per would not work on this wharf today for 340 n day," and it would seem such an opinion was not erroneous, as not a single negro ap peared this morning at any of the ves sel* to twgln work. The militia com panies were not placed on duty on the levee at 6 o'clock this morning, as It was at drat proposed. They arc nil on duty, however, at thetr respective arm- ori-s, ready to respond to any call at a moment's notice. Every oar li sax', k-us to know how the trouble will ter minate. Many would have the militia called out so that work on the terse may be resumed with negroes, while Just an many wish matters to continue as now until the white screwmen are given the work. THE STATE'S POLICY. • The governor is not disposed to dis cuss the policy that would be fallowed by the state government In quieting the violent mribs n-htoh have so thorough ly terrorized the colored laborers on the levee. He does not think this the pmpv time to talk on the subjec althourh It Is always .i pleasure for him to give representatives of the pree* all the news he can. Keluttve to the rumor that got ex tant that federal Interference would be called for hy the governor to assist In qutetiug the bdtlgercnf law break ers. he stated most emphatically that hr bad oever for a moment considered suoh a proposition and that under no clrcumatsnces would he call upon the national government, as the state mil itary was sufficient and able to pro tect Che property and lives of the dtt- xent. The governor could not be got ten to any anything In a detailed way af tho altuatlon, except that peace and the norm I conditions of business iner- csls would be restored at *ny any cost or hasanl.

The interest in the argument has grown dally, ns manifested by the ex tent an eagerness of tho throng) that have gathered, and It reached a climax today with the dose ot the argument. Long before the hour of opening the court, the corridors leading to tho chamber <were flHed with crowds anx ious to gain admittance, bat not balf of them reached the desired goal.

Just as the doors of the Carolina National bank had been dos ed for the day, a pistol shot rang out In a rear bod room In the -bank and the officials ran back to die room to find Mr. Alfred Burwell S ymmers, the bank's bookkeeper, one of the most prominent young men In the city, lying aorosd the bed dead with a bullet through his heart He was a member of one of the leading families of the State, of 0he highest integrity and character, and the tragic death created a wave of excitement. It Was first thought that he had committed suicide, but the Idga was abandoned and an in vestigation was at once commenced. The result shows that the killing was a fearful accident The young man's books were In perfect condition. He was on the best terms with every body. An hour before the tragedy, he wrote a pole to a friend asking for .certain things to be sent him In a few days. It was written In an excellent humor. It seams that every afternoon he has been going out on his wheel for a Jaunt In the country- He always .took the pistol with him. and a* "broke" it, to see If it was loaded. He had already rolled his wheel out and had put his trousens clamps on. it ap pears that when he went to break the pistol he caught the double action trig- ger Instead of the guard and sent the Us secretary of legation, end a Urito fltnl bullet tt,rouKl> th<! lower ,ob ® number of hdles.

It was Stated that the argument would be printed and submitted to the court In addition to the voluminous briefs al- his heart. He was 24 years cW and was a brother of Protestor William St. Clair Symmers, now a resident In Manches ter, England. He was perhaps the best Shakespearian echolar In tile state. BMPBROB ON TO MOSCOW.
