The Murdered man wasone

Loved Citizens
Charleston, S. C., October 18. —
The death, yesterday afternoon,
of Captain B. F. McCabe marks
the end < fa strange double tragedy,
the first act ot which occurred
about three weeks ago at McClel
lanville, a small settlement in this
county.
Frank McCabe was a bright,
pushing, energetic and public spir
ited capitalist. Very few people
outside of his intimates knew that
he had a brother, George McCabe,
who had Ireen living in Texas for
years, ond still fewer knew of his
return here.
As a matter of fact, he did re
turn some months ago, and was
placed in charge of the plantations
of the Berkeley Land Company,
of which Frank was the president,
and which owns vast tracts of land
in Berkley county, touch of it pur
chased from the state at delin
quent tax sales.
The first act of the tragedy oc
curred during the latter part of
September. It seems that Capt.
McCabe went out to the stock
farm, and upon approaching the
houte occupied by his brother, Mr.
George W. McCabe, was greeted
by th* report of a gun, and a load
of shot tore his coat on the right
side.
A second shot was fired, and
Captain McCabe received several
buckshot in his left arm. He then
retreated and hid behind a cabin..

him, but was turned back by a
colored man who lived in the cab
in.
Mr George McCabe then went 1
into his house again, and when
next seen was dead, having taken
a dose of strychnine, probably
right after the shooting. Nothing
mire is ku wi of the incident ol
the doa'. h of G’> irge McCabe.
Frank McCabe, after a very
painful journey, was brought to the
city, and for some time it was
thought that his wounds were not
of a serious character. Within the
past day or two, however, blood
poison developed and mortifica
tion of the arm set in, when it was
too late to perform an operation
Death came yesterday afternoon.
There are rumors that George
McCabe was at one time confined
in an asylum, being insane, but he
had been living in Texas for a
number of years, and came to su
perintend the stock farm in Berke
ley only a few months ago.
It had been feared before this last
sad occurrence that his mind was
affected, and his actions on Wed
nesday would seem to be convinc
ing that lie was totally unaccount-
Frauk McCabe was very popular
here. He was a graduate of the
Citadel academy, and served in the
war with the cadet corps. After
the war he was captain of the Irish
volunteers of this citv. and at, one
time president of the Hibernian
society.
Ke was a large invester it? all
the industrial enter prises started
in the city and was very generous
ns his contributions to charitable
purposes. He is a distinct loss to
the community. His age was forty
seven ye us.

A GRAND LECTURE
Mrs. Crist of Lexington. Ky. is here
Making Arrangments
FOR ITS PRODUCTION '
By one of the Most Gifted and;
Scholarly of Kentucky’s
Greatest, MostlEminlent
and Eloquent Law-
yers.
Mrs Maley Bainbridge Crist, the
brilliant special correspondent, of
a number of western papers, a
regular coutributor to some of the
loading magazines aud one of Ken
tucky’s fairest daughters is iu the
city for a few days. ,
Mrs. Crist is arranging for a
lecture entitled “losepn” to be giv
en by J. Henuig Nelms, one of the
most brilliant speakers of Lexing
ton Ky. and one of its leading At
torneys.
The Louisville Courier-Journal
of Oct. 13th says: ‘‘The opening
<>f the fall lectures at Kentucky
University was signalized this eve
ning by the delivery by J. Ken
ning Neln s ™»f his lecture on “Jo
seph” the distinguished lawyer
was greeted by a large and cultur
ed audience, whose close attention
betokened their interest in every
word of the lecture., wbicii was re
plete with learning, eloquence and
imagery,”
Mr. Nelms made a tour of the
Holy Land some years ago, and in
his lecture, which is destined to
bring him fame, is happily mirror
ed the blended results of extensive
travel, close observation, diligent
and intelligent study of history,
sacred and profane, all of which is
fold with with a grace of manner
and eloquence of diction which
makes the story irresistably charm
ing. One of the best pi oofs of the
enthusiasm over Mr. Nelms’ lecture
in his own city i« that the best
people insist upon its repetition at
their opera house in the near fu
ture. It is to be hoped Mrs. Crist
will have enough tickets guaran
toed to justify Mr Nelms coming
to Rome—as our people like to
hear the best. Which was fully
demonstrated by the audience that
greeted Bob Taylor.
HEAVY FLOODS IN CUBA.
The Tobacco Crop Washed out
and Much Damage Done-
Havana, October 18. —In this
province as well as the Vuelta Ab
luco district much damage has
been caused by the overflowing of
the rivers due to the recent heavy
rains, destroying all kinds of crops.
The low lands on which tobacco
plants are sown to be afterwards
transplanted, were entirely washed
away by the flood. Railroad as
well as telegraphic communication
with that section of the island is
/dill partly interrupted.
A number of bridges, such as the
Santa Colomoa, Agiconal and Paso
Viejo were carried away by the
flood. Assistance of all kinds is
being f irwarded to that district as
well as to Sagna.

Jasper Ga. Oct. 18.-—On last
Sunday, Rev. M. L. Underwood,
presiding elder of the Dahlonega
district, dedicated the new church

(birches in all north Georgia,
s.ated iu modern style, with oken
pews of the latest pattern.
The preacher not only steps upon
marble to enter the building but
stands behind a beautiul piece of
marble as a pulpit.
The church is in honor of the
people of Tate, who built it. Rev.
M. D. Smith is the pastor and is
ureally beloved by his people. Ite
has worked faithfully forth»

cion ot Having Assaulted Long.
Jeff Bohanan, Jeff Burnett,
Charlie Anderson and Ed Hatcher,
the four negroes arrested yester
day on suspicion as having been
the parties who so cruelly beat Mr.
Munroe Long, had a trial before
Judge Walter Harris at the City
Hall this morning. t
M. B. Eubanks was attorney for
Anderson and Bohanan, and Mr.
Harper Hamilton for Burnett and
Hatcher, while Solicitor Nunally
acted for the state.
Many witnesses were introduced
and the evidence against Burnett
and Hatcher was strong enough to
cause Judge Harris to bind them
over to await the notion of the
grand jury under a $-500 bond.
Bohanan knew nothing about
the ease and was dismissed. But
Anderson proved an important wit
ness, and was placed under a SSO
bond for his appearance in court
as a witness. Anderson told Chief
Shropshire facts yesterday that
causes the guilt to be fixed
on Burnett and Hatcher, but re
fused to testify to his statement
in court toaay.
Yesterday the operation of re
moving tho broken skull that rest
ed against Mr. Long’s brain, w ■
skillfully and successfully per
formed. The young man is resting
w>4l today and is on the fair road
to recovery.
