Daws, November 2.???A diapaicb from Cairo
to tie Hurting Newt aayi: The Mahdi, in
the beginning of September, hearing of the
advance of the British forces, made a supremo
effort to reduce Khartoum, which place at the
end of September was surrounded by 150,000
rebels. Supplies failing, tho garrison began
to waver. A deputation of officers
complained bitterly to General Gordon that
they bad bccn^dcccivrd by the promises of
British assistance, they armssed him of aiding
in the deception. Tho depntation also tie-
mat.ded that a retreat be made to Dongola,
and threatened if thii action were not taken
that they would join the Mabdi. General
Gordon thereupon consented to the
piau proposed. Meanwhile a panic aro*e,
and eight thousand soldiers and civilians tie
aerted Inji body. Two Ihouaaud men remain
ed faithful, and embarked with General Gor
don. The rebels were advised of what
had occurred, and harassed the
retreat to Shandy, where masses
of rebels, provided with arlillery, disabled
the flotilla. Only Colonel Stewart's vessel
e(trended in passing Berber, and shortly af
terward it-was wrecked. The remainder of
the flotilla was obliged to return
southward, rnd on reaching Rhendy the entire
force waa raptured. About 1 the 5th of October
General Gordon was sent under strong escort
to the Mahni'a camp, whero he is now a close
prisoner.

TDK CAROLINA CANVASff.
Most of the businefo houses which closed la
night will not open
Cleveland or James
president of these United Btwtes. It has been
t enerally agreed, business shall be suspended.
he banks and some of tho public office* will
remain open during business hour* of Tues
day, but most of the wholesale and retail stores
will, it is expected, sacrifice their day???s trade
pro bono publico. The election in this eity
will beyond question bo exceedingly lively.
The lull Vote of both parties will
ho develo|>ed. The whitos almost
to a man have registered and hold their reg
istration certificates. It is estimated that only
???bout two-thirds of tho negro voters took tho
trouble to register, and of these only about
two-thirds now |>nasfss their certificates of
registration. But the blacks have an over
whelming majority in Ibis county, and in
order to overcome this * majority
much work must be done by the democrats.
This work tho democrats aro prepared to do.
The radicals have, at the eleventh hour,
hatched out a county ticket, the members of
which are disreputable white renegates and
vicuna and ignorant negroes. Opposed to
this infamous combination is a set of (rue and
tried citizens. Our county ticket Is perfectly
safe. It will be elected by a good round ma
jority. This county it is feared will give tho
Blaine-Logan electors soino two
thousand majority and
la apprehended that Talt, candidate
of tho republicans for congress from this dis
trict, will run ahead of the electoral ticket.'
Indeed Tslt Informed mo that ho chunts upon
beating Dibble by not less than nlao thousand
votes. I think this is s gross exaggeration.
The democratic leaders in this eity to-night
. Informed me that they regard Taft's defeat as
probable, but not certain. They aro
confident tho stato will go democratic by
some eight or (on thousand majority. Tho
negroes throughout the country are thorough
ly armed and they threaten to go to the polls
with a weapon in one hand and a ballot in tho
other. Trouble is feared at aoino of tho couu-
try prccinrta, but no rows are apprehended in
tl.e city. Mayor Courtney has token ivory
prrcnullou to assure a quiet and peanahlo elec
tion. The democrats or old Charleston may
be counted ou to )H>riorin their whole duty to
morrow.

Denver Opinion: There may ba* more

mnenliebt on the Rcino, hut I do not remem
ber at this moment what they are. Looking
down from the mighty fortifications to whero
cear???y two million warm-hearted, hot-headed,
loyal and yet rebellious, peaceful and still
belligerent peop???e are slumbering, what mem
ories of blood and riot and ruin corns trooping
up in (be brain of the behold hr. Again tho
air Seems filled with the wild roar and rush
of the riotous canaille, the beautiful boulevards
run r<d with French blood, find tho- glorious
architecture ol forgotten centuries crumbles
ar.d yields to the mad tide of revolution and
Tt-veiige. From the early du/s of tho Infant

the French capital was simply an outfitting

pale light that shows where he sat down in
the mortar-bed near where the Pavilion de

down the Heine from the Louvre, along the
Tuileries, the Hue Rivoliand the Hue Kolderol
to where the alisteuiag mass of tho Vcudomo

Ihe foreground stands tho hotel de* I rival idea,
an im|??osing pile, crowned with a gilded dome
105 meters high. Immediately under it
???taada the sarcophagus of Napoleon I. This
sarcophagus waa first used by Napoleon. He
was proud and exclusive About his sarcophagi,
refusing to use a second-hand sarcophagus,
no matter how cheaply ho could procure it.
Moving toward tho background, we come
suddenly upon the Ifourre, the imposing coup

TIi4 Checkered Career of a Beautiful Geor
gia Refugee.
Ngw York, November S.???Truth publiahea
the following:
A wonderful and startling story comc3 to us
from Japan via Paris. One of the most beau
tiful women America has ever produced boa
t-ecn beheaded there through a special edict ot
the mikado, secured through tho prayers of
bis prime minister. Tho woman was the
countcsa Pourtales, neo Mrs. John Beecher, of
New York. Tho decapitation was caused
through the Jepnncso prime minister???s love
jealousy cud revenge. The story of the coun
tess I'ourtalcs was as follows: After the war
there came an aristocratic mother
end her most beautiful daughter to New
York from Georgia. Tho mother and
daughter brought letters to manv New York-
ere, umongwhom weroThurlow weed, Hugh J.
Hastings, Thomas Murydiy, Henry Clew* utul
others. The -daughter was so r&viahingly
beautiful that she madh a senbation wherever
she went. 8be had many suitors. The suitor
most favored was the Wealthy John Beecher,
???nd many New Yorkera remember their hap
py marriage.
During Mrs. Beecher's early married life no
professional beauty received so much atten
tion os she. Accomplished, graceful, viva
cious, and with a color more trancendently
bciiUtiful than tbo loveliest rose, the young
wife was always the center of an admiring
group. Her toilet in 7 the park and ot Jerome
clubhouse was always the envy of every lady
who saw it. Every New Yorkera remembers
Mr. Lloyd Phoenix's flirtation with Mrs.
Beecher; how she shot at him as he passed up
liis sister???s steps on Fifth avenue, and how.
after her husband separated from her, she fled
to Europe in pursuit of Mr. Phoenix. Tuo
newspapers were full of it at tho time. In
Paris Mrs. Beecher, supported by her divorced
hufekand???s money, generously given her, be
gan a life of luxurious pleasure. She drove
the handsomest turnout on the fiois, gave tho
most sumptuous dinners, and was tho sensa
tion of the gay metropolis. One of her first
suitors was Count Pourtales, formerly con-
nccUtl with the French legation at Washing
ton, whose first wife wa3 the beautiful daughter
of Ren Holliday.
Mrs. Beecher and the count wero soon mar
ried. Her transcendent beauty was tho crazo
of Paris, and while tho countess wus tho talk
of the city aho sailed with her husband for
Ji'pun, where the count joined the French le
gation. In Jopen, as tho wifo of an atticho
ol tho legation, the Countess Pourtales was in
troduced to the highest personages in diplo
matic circles. For a time aho led court cir
cles, but soon aho tired of her husband, aa aho
had tired of Mr. Bcechor, aud bogan flirting
with a French officer.
The count now claimed that they woro not
legally married, and sailed for Franco, aban
doning tho countess in Japan. Tho next
ttcomcr brought the countess to Paris, whero
she commenced a most profligate life., About
thiec months alter her advent in Paris sho
met a French colonel, who fell in love with
her. They were not married, but ho returned
to Japan with her. Arriving as man and
wile she again met her old friends in diplo
matic circles. Her propensity to flirt again
manifested itself, and her third husband, so-
called, abandoned her. Ho said tho primo
minister of Japan had been too iatinuto with
his wife.
??This was no doubt true, for ns soon as tho
colonel was gone the countess became the
mistress of the prime minister, ono of tho
wealthiest and most influential men in Japan.
Here the rouutess hud every luxury but liber
ty. The prime minister was ao jealous of her
that he would not lot her talk to any gentle
men. Such a life did not auit the count*'**, so
one day she ran away and became tho mistress
of another Jopancso official. Tho affair so
exasperated tho prime minister that ho
went to tho mikado and prevailed upon
him to issue an especial edict condemning the
countesa to be decapitated. Herfourthnus-
band, so cal.'ed, was imprisoned. Tbo nows
