The Murdered man wasone of the Charlestons most Popular and best 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.

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.

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.
