Corvmata, S.C., August 2.—Rochel Catoe and Wm. Clyburn, negroes, were hanged at Lan- easter Court House yesterday for the murder of August Hennis, with whose wife Catoe was intimate. Hennis came to this state about a year ago from New York. When the woman and the negroes were placed on trial she escaped conviction on a technicality.

He acknowledged that he and Clyburn committed the deed, but says Hennis’ wife was the insti- gator. She witnessed the execution from the jal window with apparent indifference. It was rue mored yesterday that an effort would be made to lynch her yesterday afternoon, but no such attempt was made, iyburn was the last of a remaraable family of five brothers, the others having been killed, hanged, or sentenced for long terms to the penitentiary. A Bumboatman’s Luck. Laxstxo,Mics.,August 2.—The supreme court here has filed an opinion in the case of the peo- ple agt. Bouchard, which, so far as this state is concerned, is quite far reaching. The respon- dent was convicted in the Bay county circuit for selling liquors without paying the state tax under law of 1887. Ie owned a scow,which he fitted fora saloon and anchored opposite the town of Bangor,and made saies openly. This was not denied, but the defense was set up that, not being engaged in the business in any city, village or township in the state, he was not subject to the tag,fand upon this it came to the supreme court, where the judgment of the lower court is reversed and the respond- ent discharged. The court held that the town- ship boundary extended to the shore line ouiy, and not being within the limits of that town- ship, of course, was not in any other. The court calls the attention of the legislature to the necessity of a remedy for tue defect. ee To Work Mines in Batopilas.

The meeting at Hampton Court House, the home of State Senator Moore, whom Tillman has charged with perjury in voting in the senate, yesterday was one of per- sonalities and interruptions instead of issues. Farmer Tillman was the speaker. ‘The friends of Moore asked Tillman to name those he charged with perjury. He did so, and as soon as he had uttered the name “Moore,” Mr. A. P, Youmans made his way to the front and said, in a ringing voice, with clenched fist and glowing eyes: ‘i “Capt. Tillman, you are a liar, a black liar. Prove it on him. We rammed the lie down your dirty throat at Ridgeway. You lied then, and you know it.” Others yelled out to Tillman that he was a liar, Then there was a rush for Youmans. His coat was caught. Men caught hold of each other and fora time trouble was immi- nent, Tillman's followers rushed him to the front and dared any one to touch him. Pan- demonium reigned for some time.

C., SATURDAY, VICTORIOUS VOLUNTEER, The Gallant Sloop Distances Her Com- petitors at Newport. Yesterday's race for the Goelet cups at New- port served still further to emphasize the fact that there is only one sloop yacht in America capable of beating all others in any kind of wind or weather. The day was one of flukes, and although there appeared to be plenty of wind, at times it fell off materially, In spite of it all the” Volunteer finally ran away from the rest of the fleet, single stickers and schooners. She won comfortably in a little less than five hours, her nearest rival, the Puritan, being ad p- seven minutes behind her. The Clara pointed all her admirers by coming in nine minutes behind the latest creation of Burgess, the Gossoon. The Katrina easily beat the Gracie. Such, in brief, was the result of the sloop race. For some unexplained reason the schooners were slow in getting away after the gun was fired andevery one was handica ped. The Marguerite was the first to cross and then came Oenone, Palmer, Mayflower, Sea Fox and Mer- lin in the ordernamed. All were on the port tack, with sheets eased a trifle, and the greatest yacht race of the year was begun. It was exactly 11:33 when the gun was fired and the ey seared signals were hoisted on the Electra, Ten minutes later the starting jun for sloops boomed across the water and they ell got away in good shape, Five minutes elapsed and then the schooners were sent away, but, as before stated, they did not cross thi line until — after the last was fired at 11:53. All stood off on the ort tack until about two miles had een sailed, when the Gossoon was first to break, Around she went on the starboard tack, heading well into shore, hoping for a bet- ter breeze than there was outside. It was not long before the Clara followed suit, but she was already beaten and by a boat thirteen feet less on the water line. The Volun- teer, with the Puritan chasin; i was gaining in a_ rapid fashion, putting the miles of water behind her in splendid style, but kept on the port tack for a longer time than did the two smaller sloops. Goth then went about and stood inshore, where the wind appeared to be. The Katrina, Gracie andthe schooners kept away out and seemed to be steadily falling behind, The first leg of the course took the yachts to the Sow and Pigs light ship, and the big white Volunteer was first to round at 2:20:40, Twelve minutes and two seconds later the Puritantgot around and twenty minutes elapsed before ;the next boat came. The saucy Katrina was ‘the third yacht to tack around, and then the Gos- soon arrived at 3:06:20. The schooner M lin nearly covered her up as,she went away one minute and ten scconds Mater, sailing better than she had ever sailed before and showi: clean pair of heels to every other schooner the race. Mayflower, once a single-‘tic America’s cup defender and_now a schoone: came next at 3.09.55, and the fleet sloop Gracie was three minutes after her. The Clararounded at 3.14.50 ,and Sea Fox, last year the winner of the cup, came behind all the others at 3.17.20. There was consternation on the Clara for the Gossoon had beaten her eleven minutes and eleven seconds in the race to windward. Then came the turning of the Sow and Pigs, the Volunteer reaching there at 2.51, while the Puritan was thirteen minutes and fifty seconds later. As the yachts headed for home they broke ont their big balloon-jib top sails and spin- nakers and, while the wind did not hold well, there was enough to fill the canvass and pull the boats through the water in good style. Steadily and surely the Volunteer drew away from the others and came down to the finish with a rush which was truly beautiful. Just before she reached the line the spinnaker sheet was eased a trifle and the great sail bellied out like balloon, making ® picturo of marine beauty worth going miles to see. ‘The other sails were filled and then the sun shone on the mass of towering canvas, making a re- flection on the water as if from a looking-glasa, The whistle on the Electra sounced, and then steam yachts fired their guns as a salute to the winner of the Goclet cup for sloops, and the victor went up into Newport harbor with one more race to her credit, There was a long wait for the next yacht and nearly forty minutes elapsed before the Puritan crossed the line. Twenty winutes later the Katrina went over in third place. The Merlin was an easy winner in the schooner class, for she finished at 5.49.21, twenty-two minutes ahead of the Mayflower, which was two minutes before the Sea Fox. Although Clara was eleven minutes and eleven seconds behind Gossoon in making the outward run, she ran before the wind home in two minutes eleven seconds less time. Gracie came in between the Clara and Sea Fox and the others did not . Thus the race was lost and won, and Burgess was the most successful and happy man in the big fleet. ‘Today the 40-footers will race and the course will either be 10 or 12 miles to leeward or wind- ward ‘and return, and the $250 cup, given by Commodore Iselin, will be contested for by Gossoon, Minerva, Mariquita and others of that class, —— 00 CAPITOL TOPICS, It is the understanding among republican Senators that Mr. Blair's resolution for the incorporation of the previous question or some other method of limiting debate into the rules of the Senate will remain with the committee on rules until the caucus shall decide when it is necessary to introduce the rule for consid- eration. ‘That is not expected to be for some time yet.

Apress, Kax., August 2—The Farmers’ f- Koouse 2, 1890—-SIXTEEN PAGES, - HONORS TO ERICSSON. The Official Order Respecting the Eme barkation of the Remains. Acting Secretary of the Navy James R. Soley today addressed to Rear Admiral D. L. commandant cf the navy yard, New York, the following official letter: The department has fixed the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d of August, as the time for the embarkation of the remains of the late Capt. John Ericsson for transportation to his native country on board the United States ship Baltimore, and it intrusts to you the direction of all the arrangements connected with the ceremony. The department has assumed this duty in response to an intimation conveyed by the minister of foreign affairs of Sweden and N way, through the United States minister at Stockholm, to the Departmentof State, that it would be ref led by the government and people of Sweden with peculiar satisfactio: Al from the desire thus expressed it is in thehighest degree appropriate that the United States, through its navy, should pay this final tribute to the memory of the great Swedish inventor, As the most famous representative of the Scandinavian race in America his name stands for that of akindred people who have given to this country a large and highly valued element among its adopted citizens. An officer of the Swedish army in early life, Ericsson closed his career with the illustrious distinction of being among the foremost of American mechanics, Of the innumerable ap- lications of mechanical art that are the ‘ruit of his genius many so long ago passed into general use that they have ceased to be associated popularly with his name; but his achievements in the field of naval science willremain forever a monument to his mem- ory. To the United States navy he gave the first monitor, and in her he gave all the navies of the world the germ of the modern battleship, For these reasuns it is the department's de- sire to surround the embarkation with every circumstance that can invest it with dignity and solemnity. All the vessels of war that may be available will be assembled at New York and will be directed to unite with you in paying to the deceased the honors befitting his rank and his distinguished name. ‘The details will be regulated by you in con- sultation with the representatives of Capt. Ericsson and the officers of the associations de- siring to take part in the ceremony. The anchorage ground near the Statue of Liberty is designated as the place where the Baltimore will receive the remains and the other vessels of war will be anchored in her vicinity. The marines from the ships and the station will form the guard of honor to escort the body from its present resting place to the Bat- tery, It will there be embarked on board the Nina and conveyed to the Baltimore under the escort of all the available steam launches and ulling boats of the squadron, formed in louble column, the steam launches preceding the Nina, The department has extended to the minister of Sweden and Norway at this capital an invita- tion to be present, which includes the members of his legation and such officers of the consular service of Sweden in this country as he may designate, Letters have also been sent to the ex- ecutors of the deceased and to Rear Admiral John L, Worden, U. 8.N., the veteran cap- tain of the Monitor, inviting them to take part in the ceremonies and tu accom- pany the remains to the Baltimore, It is the intention of the Secretary of the Navy to be —_ By the publication of this letter the lepartment Invites all associations composed of the friends, companions or former country- men of Capt. Ericsson, to take part in the pro- cession to the battery and to report to you through their representatives for instructions as to their position in the line and other de- tails of the ceremony. The flag officers who may be in New York will be directed to co-operate with and assist you in carrying out this program, the details of which you are authorized to modify as cir- cumstances may require.” WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. i Mason Mvnick, third artillery, arrived this morning from Fort McHenry with batteries G and Q for two months’ heavy artillery practice.

An effort will be THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Strong Utterances Against Grade-Cross- ings and Ratlroad Usurpation. Popular sen’ it mever has been expressed in a more emphatic and unmistable manner than it has on the pending railroad question. Congress already had before it the strong ex- pressions of the board of trade, of various citi- zens’ associations, of the workingmen's organi- zations and of other bodies. Now that oppor- tunity has been given, by means of Tue Stan's coupon petition, for the expression of indi- vidual opinion, it has been clearly shown that the bodies whose formal resolutions have been preseated to Congress fairly repre- sented the sentiment of the communi The signed coupons continue to pour into Tae Stan office, | With them come many letters bearing upon the subject of the people's effort to ri themselves of caper | grade crossings, and to put a reasonable check upon the railroad en- croachments upon the public grounds. Among the signatures received are some from Wash- tonians out of town, who want their vote re- corded. HOPES CONGRESS WILL NOT PASS IT. A prominent business man of Washington now at the Warm Sulphur Springs writes: “Inclosed please find petition with my signa- ture. I am very much op d to the H.R. bill No, 8243 and hope Congress will not pass it.” A BIT OF MisToRY. A well-known and well-posted citizen writes: “Some years ago Congress legislated the Baltimore and Ohio station from Pennsylvania avenue, where it was located on its own ground. Now it is proposed to legalize the Baltimore and Potomac station on United States govern- ment ground near the same thoroughfare, In- ventors and discoverers should inform ther- selves of what has been previously done in a given direction. The Washington Post is not so well informed as it ought to be on matters affecting the interests of our city. Modesty al- ways becomes ignorance.” A VAST INTEREST AT STAKE, Another citizen says: “The importance of rescuing this part of the park from the grasp of this great railroad octopus, now when the opportunity offers, cannot be overstated. The defeat of the people in the struggle to repos- sess what Congress had no right to giv will be the beginaing of the gradual absor of this reservation as from time to ti larged are required. To tho people of Washingt vast interest is at stake, A victory now w end the fight for all time, and shame be to citizen whose culpable indifference or ve- nality should make it a defeat.” WHY BF SIGNED IT. Another citizen who sends in his name writes: “Lsign this slip because I am opposed to steam railroads entering a city at grade of street crossings. 1 do not particularly o! to thor grenent location, because 1 he railroad lepots should be ‘easity accessible to the public, but the tracks should not occupy a ee Street (as at 6th street and Virginia and aryland avenues), but be sunk below the level or placed at high grade,as at Broadstrect, Philadelphia, and the company owe this to the city for the valueble franchise of a depot site.” WANTS SOMETHING STRONGER THAN PETITIONS. A letter from another Washingtonian says: “Being in sympathy with the object of this pe- tition I sign it with but a wretched hope that it willaccomplish anything. The Pennsylvya- nia company 18 too firmly entrenched in the halis of Congress to be dislodged by such mis- silos as petitions. A successiul assault can be made only with heavy artillery in the shape of the strong arm of the people.” HOW IT WAS DONE IN PHILADELPHIA. Another signer of the petition writes: “I most gladly embrace the opportunity to sign the petition in Tae Stak. As the only objec- tion to the removal of the passenger station yet advanced 1s increased distance, that seems puerile when it is considered that nineteen out of twenty passengers now ride to it, and the additional distance does not consume two min- utes’ time and requires no additional fare, and for these two mmutes a magnificent ‘park and- one of the maia arteries. to South Washington are to be sacrificed! With 7th street blockaded by the cable road and market wagons and 6th street by the Balti- more and Potomac thero is absolutcly uo thor- oughfare bet®en 4!g and 14th streets for the immense traffic north and south. As to the promises of the railrord company, it was posi- tively asserted when the depot was permitted to be located where it is, twenty years ago, that they would move it at any time. In Phil: adelphia this same company did, at the expense of millions of dol frouts of all the lots on for distance 0% and build a brick viaduct, a mile long, pierced with arched _thoroughf. crossing, leaving the side of the street for the e: J ructed, to bring their passenger trains to th heart of the city. Nota foot of track was p in the streetand not a single crossing ob- structed. In addition to this the ground on which the immense depot stands, as well as every foot occupied by the track: in the city, had ‘to be paid for by the company, and ¢! whole plant—depot, tracks and viaduct—is taxed the same as any other realty, on value assessed by the city assessor. Here the poor man makes up the deficit and then is asked to sign a petition to perpetuate the system by which he is robbed.” A CASE OF PADDING. A correspondent of Tun Stan writes in relation to the name of ‘iioward Morton, Le Droit building,” appearing in the printed list of signers to the railroad compa “Having a doubt as the correctness closed name and address published in 2’ list of 30th ultimo, I made inquiry at building through proper channel and found no such per- son known. Evidently a case of padding.” HONORED BY THE PEOPLE, A Washington business man writes from the Delaware Water Gap, Pa.: ‘However this fight between the great corporation and the city may result Taz Stan will be honored by the people.” HE DROPPED INTO RUYMF. THE STRIKE AT JOYCES’. Men Engaged in Philadelphia to Take the Place of the Strikers. Everything was calm in and around the Joyce carriage factory this afternoon. The two employes who refased to strike wore at work in the shop; aclerk occupied the office; one or two other Persons, apparently interested in the concern, lounged around the carriage ware room and occasionally bestirred themselves to keep the flies off the highly-polished exterior of some expensive vehicle. None of the strikers b ~~ daes or had been around during the . oe ‘Tee Mesars, Joyce say ther have succeeded in their quest for men to fill the strikers’ places, A telegram was received from them this afternoon which would indi- cate that Philadelphia has = mum- ber of workmen on a, The hi dispatch states that all the neoeseary black + smiths and trimmers have been engaged.

Barnes, near the Dennings race track,was discovered to be on fire, and in afew minutes the building was in flames, which spread to the corn house and kitchen, both of which were destroyed.
