DILI* WYE IN I*ARIL 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.

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. ELECTION BETTING. The Offer*ami Wager* That Aro Being Marie In New York.

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 bas now come to New York that tho edict waa carried out, and the most beautiful Georgia refugee who dazzled New York and tho lovoly countess who bewildered Paris was actually flccapitated. Japan nobles of high rank con sider it a heinous offense for a woman who has smiled upon them to over afterward smilo upon another. This strongo custom cost Countess Pourtales her life. WIIO Till ADVXXTrarSH was. The Columbia Register says: The abovo evidently refers to a sdinewhut noted and very handsome woman, a native and former resi dent of Columbia???Miss Mary Boozer. Sho was the reputed daughter of Peter Burton, hor mother???s second husband, but adopted by Dr. Boozer, the third spouse. The first husband was wedded on his deathbod in Philadelphia; tho acccnd died in a very singular manner in Columbia; tho third suicidod in Newberry, and the fourth wus aban doned l??y Ihe muchly-married and really beautiful woman, whoso remains now repose in ft pauper's grave in Now York.
