PROBING INTO UNION PACFIC AFFAIRS Puts Many Questions to Receivers' Sense of tench 1 Off; Fness—Testi- nly’ of Messrs. Dickinson, il mony Mink and McC Dramatie incidents are very rare in courts of equity, but there was a scene in the cir- cult court of the United States yesterda with Judges Caldwell and Riner on the bench, that without a parallel in the Judicial history of the couatry. The wage houring had dragged its weary length along until Mr. Receiver Mink was called by Ju Thurston to s about the finances of the great s) Then there was a noticeable inter: on the part of everybody in the court room, for finances have a fascination for almost ev one, particularly when they deal with history of so great a corporation as Unlon Pacific. The manner of floating bonds, the shrink- ages In value, fixed charges and a hundred other things, which, until now, have been closely guarded, came to the surface through the ability of Judge Caldwell as a cross- examiner. The judicial mind was in its element, and, as Mr. Mink was a willing witness, much new matter rela tive to the “Overland” sy ner of financlal management came Grasping all the big problems with Judge Caldwell drew from Mr. Mink m: statements that a score of newspaper re porters could not have gotten through the most merciless questioning. It was the court, however, who had Mr. Mink on the spit, which was a horse of another color. When the court concluded the examination Mink, Mr. Thurston called Presi- dent Clark to the stand. There was weak- ness written all over the vemerable presi- dent's features. His eyes were glazed and the long siege over the great problem with which he has been wrestling told its own story. COURT'S TRIBUTRS TO MR. CLARK. As he stood up to take the oath, Judge Caldwell, with a movement of his arm, in. dicated to Marshal White not to administer the customary oath and Mr. Clark took his seat. ' To many the movement was not noticed, but to those who saw the manner in which Judge Caldwell deferred to the word of Mr. Clark without putting him on his oath was as beautiful a tribute to the sterling integrity of a man as ever was paid by so august a tribunal, a compll- ment as fine as it was well deserved. Only one or two questions were asked Mr. Clark by Mr. Thurston, and their answers, while Clear and explicit, showed the weakness of the witness, Just as he was about to leave the stand, and while in the act of apologizing to the court for his inability to speak clearly, Judge Caldwell, turning to President Clark, sald: ““The court peremptorily orders vou, Mr. Clark, to take a rest of four or five months. You must be prohibited from ,committing suicide In_the management of’ this great property. The company cannot spare you; neither can the country. You will therefore take a rest, which Is to commence at once. ‘We will be able to manage the property at this end of the line. The court’s orders are peremptory. Mr. Clark, visibly affected by the graceful compliment, thanked the court in warm words, then' rising to his full height, turning to the court room, he said: “And with these men here assembled I can only hope that I have the confidence as well as the friendship of these men with whom I have been as- soclated these many years." And he walked out of the court room, undoubtedly the hap- piest man in Omaha. The labor of his life had received judiclal recognition. OPENING OF THE CASE. Near the bench sat the lights of Union Pacific, marshaled by President H. H. Clark. Near him sat Gen- eral Manager Dickinson, J. H. McCon- nell, superintendent of motive power and machinery; E. Buckingham, superintendent of car service; P. J. Nichols, superintendent of the Nebraska division. Mr. Recelver Mink was also present. By lis side sat Recelver John W. Doane of Chicago. The legal forces of the Unfon Pacific were headed by John M. Thurston, W. R. Kelly and Attorney Vandeventer of Cheyenne. Arrayed about the long table and in side the space reserved for the bar there was quite as notable a gathering of officials, in some respects even more notable than the representatives of the Union Pacific. At the head of this delegation was the grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, P. M. Arthur, whose kindly, even fatherly face gave a conservative appear- ance to the hearing, in direct contrast with the sharp, shrewd look of Attorney Hodges, who represents the engineers, assisted by the alfalfa statesman, T. Fulton Gantt, of North Platte. Grand Chief F. R. Sargent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was close red is something tem t shown the the tem and its man- out. ease, ny the an interested spectator, cropped mustache and a face indicative of grim de- termination, a fighter one would say if hasttly asked his strongest characteristic. Flanking him on the left was Attorney Har- per “with paunch well rounded,” while on his right sat the chalrman of the firemen of the Unlon Pacifie, C. A. M. Potrie, a fireman without frills, & quick, forceful talker, who is regarded by the officlals of the Union Pacific as one of the able men in the service of the company. Grand Chief Clark of the Order of Railway Conductors was also an Interesting figure in the court. George W. Vroman, chairman of the grievance committee of the brotherhood of engineers, who has had aspirations for a number of years to succeed the conservative Grand Chiet P, M. Arthur, sat at the head of the long table and as e is to represent the engineers in opposition to Superin- tendent McConnell he was a most attentive Mstener, and by no means a dim light in this galaxy of labor leaders. Theso were the line formations in the opening contest between the forces of labor and capital, while throughout the large rooms the representatives of the various arms of the service were gathered, dressed fn their “best Sunday clothes,”” washed up for the occaslon, with hair glossy from bar soap, and faces that showed how deeply these men realized the principles at stake. THE ENGINEERS' SCHEDUL Preliminary to the hearing of the case Mr. Thurston submitted o the court the old schedules of the engineers and firemen those proposed In the Dundy order, and those submitted by the men, and in addi tion a map of the Union Pacific system and principal competing lines. Mr. Hodges stated that the new schedules of the men were presented by them at the instance of Mr. Clark beeamse they were dissatisfigd with the receivers' schedules wnd the old ones were uot to be consid- Fl) ered by Mr. Clark. So far as those rules were concerned the men did not prefer to discuss them, as they were famillar with the old rules and desired to discuss the case on that basis, and only wished their new rules considered in case the old sched- ules were unsatisfactory. The men did not wish, by adopting any new rules, to wipe out the system of jurisprudence built up r the old rules or to entall any addi- 1 expense on the operation of the s tem by any new rules, Mr. Thurston stated that the best way to reach results was to go at it as the m and officers did in thelr conferences, instead of putting witnesses on In the usual way. The court again stated its position, that the basis of the hearing would be the old schedules and the receivers would be com- pelled to prove they were unjust or they ould stand. The court suggested that Mr. Clark, If physically ble, should be put on the stand and explain fully the position of the company. e court suggested that the number of witne s would be limited, Judge Duffle presented a petition repre- senting the American Railway union, but Judge dwell stated the court had one iron in the fire now and that was enough for the present, and nen who were interested in the new were the only ones that could be he Mr. Duffie stated that wa far as he wished to be heard. The court then made an order compelling the receiver to hear the parties represented by Mr. Duffie and to report their findings to the court Mr. Thurston sald Mr. Clark was physi- caily unable to take the burden of an ex- amination and he would call Mr. Dickinson, general manager; Mr. McConnell, superin- tendent of motive power; Mr. Buckingham, superintendent of car service and Mr. Mink in regard to the financial condition of the road Mr. Thurston stated that if they ever got past rule 1 it would practically settle the whole matter. MR. McCONNELL ON THE STAND. Mr. J. H. McConnell was called in bel of the receivers and rule 1 was taken up. The court stated in response to a remark of Mr. Thurston that the court would have no occasion to refer to the new schedule at all, Mr. McConnell stated he had been in the employ of the company since 1868, and had foreman of the cen four years general Om shops, for a time was master me- chanjc at North Platte, and for the past three years superintendent of motive power on the system, having charge of all en- gincers, engines, shops and shopmen. Judge Caldwell asked the witness to read in article 1. of the old schedule in force 1891, and Mr. McConnell read as follows: Article 1—Dasis of pay: On N Kansas, Colorado (except South Park triet), Wyoming, Idaho and Utah divisions S-wheel engines, 10-wheel engines, 18-inch cylinders or less, $3. er 100 miles. ~ All engines classed a§ 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 and 180, $4 per 100 miles. Deénver, South Park rict, Colorado divisio Passenger 110 valley mile: $1.00 Freight 8 valley miles. 400 | nger 44 mountain 400 cight 41 mountain miles. L 400 As per schedule of runs of 18 Pacific division, S-wheel standard, 10- wheel or mogul ehgines, $4.30 per 100 miles, mileage allowed as per schedule of runs, per existing agreement on runs. Consolidation cngines as helpers or work trains, $4.50; consolidation_engines, run on through trains, $4.70 per 100 miles. Mileage allowed as per schedule of runs. Mr. McConnell, to place the position of the receivers before the court, read the corre- sponding rule in the proposed schedule. There were 802 locomotives on the system Mr. McConfiell stated. The new schedule did not affect all classes of engines, but did the 19x24 and 17x24 cylinder, ten-wheel engines. Of the first class there were 117 and of the latter 193, a total affected of 310. The rate of pay is not uniform over the entire system, the Pacific division being the highest. 01 the Wyoming and Colorado divisions the men are allowed excess mileage as follows: From Cheyenne to Ogden, a distance of 514 miles, the men receive pay for 625 miles. On the South Park division the men receive pay for 100 miles for 44’ miles of mountain run, and 100 miles for 85 of valley run. Gn tne Idaho division from Green river to Huntington, for 510 miles the men received pay for 605 miles, The excess mileage costs the company per month in Wyoming $5,246.57; Denver, Leadville and Gunnison $3,843.13; Idaho division $2,385.25; Utah division $082.70; Pacific division 2,211.71; Colorado division $470; a total of $15,838.38, Aside from the excess mileage a uniform rate of pay on the entire system would save the company $2,216.32 per month, In switching expenses at Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs the average rate of pay on other roads at those points would save the com- pany $2,103 per month., COST OF ENGINE SERVICE PER MILE. Mr. McConnell then went into detail of the comparative cost of engine service per mile ‘on the Union Pacific and other roads, which was as given in Mr. Clark's report published in The Bee this morning. The mileage cost on the system is now 9.19 and under the schedule proposed by the receivers it would be 8.60. In 1892 the engine mile- age on the Unfon Pacific was 28.669.472. At this amount of mileage the Southern Pacific would at thelr rate pay $232813 less than it cost the Union Pacific; the Santa Fe, 3,080.08 less; the Missourl Pacific, $444,- .65 less; the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, ,806.14 less; the Louisville & Nashville, $456,436.44 1 Milwaukee & St. Paul, § the Denver & Rio Grande, $442,101.81 less, Under the schedule proposed by the re- celvers the Union Pacific would pay for the same mileage more than any of the roads mentioned, except the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, as follows: Santa Fe, $143,347.60; Burlington, $533,262.18; Northwestern, $435,- 775.95; Chicago & Alton, $94,609.26; and the other 'roads mentioned in similar propor- tion. Most roads made a different rate of pay for freight and passenger service, but they were all paid on the same mileage basis on the Unlon Pacific. Mr. McConnell also stated that most roads paid a_different rate of pay for men during their first, second and third year of service, after which they received full pay. 15 no such distinction on the Unfon Pacific. INCREASED PAY FOR ENGINEERS. Mr. McConnell stated the rate of pay per mile had increased on the Union Pa- cific from 6.37 in 1853 to 9.19 in 1893, This was caused by excess mileage, addition of the Pacific division and new rules and schedules. Mr. McConnell stated that in addition to increasing the rate of pay the running time had been so cut down that the pay per hour of actual service had been greatly increased. In response to a question Mr. McCon- nell stated the Union Pacific had always been on the mileage basis. The system of excess mileage had grown up owing to the difficulty in the early days of getting men to stay in the western country when the conditions were not pleasant as a place of residence. In one case they were allowed twenty-five miles for running seven, and in one case an engineer earned $288 in one month and had eight hours sleep every day, and made a fuss because he was not allowed pay for three hours overtime, Mr. McConnell explained why the rate of pay varied for different sized engines as being because the large ones were used where there were hills and the work was harder on the enginemen. Mr. McConnell continuing his direct e amination said that the rates of pay ¢ fiftéen engines of the 1,600 class was $4.25; sixty engines, 19x24 fnch cylinders, re ived $4.00 per 100 miles; fifteen engines, 20x24 inc loe and thre service, making a total of elghteen engines, were the same as to earning per 100 miles It is proposed, said the superintendent, to reduce clghteen 20x24 ten-wheel engines 10 ors, In the passenger se V- 24 inch cylindess in freight cents per 100 miles, the consolidation, 20x 24, ten-wheel, 20x24 and elght-wheel en glnes of the sume cylinder size are not 1 he question of curvatures was then taken up, Mr. McConnell showing the grades, ele vatlons, ete., on the system, which of course is a vital point in the probiem to be solved CONDITIO!

WASHINGTON BUREAU OF TH 613 Fourteenth Streot, WASHINGTON, March 0. President Cleveland has a pretty hard nut to crack in the Nebraska district attorn ship. He finds it difficult to select didate from among the six clever men who have applied to succeed Ben Baker. Three times has the president sent to the Depart- ment of Justice for all the papers in the e, only to return them for some reason unknown to the officials in the attorney general's office. Yesterday he again ordered the papers brought to him. May be this is [ ca the third and last call, and he Is about ready to act. However, neither the at- torney general nor Secretary Morton ap- pears to know whether Mr. Cleveland has decided on a man or not. It is very evident that the attorney general is done with the cse, for one who is very close to that diplomatic official _told The Bee corre- spondent tonight that he knew that Mr. Olney had made his final recommendation. PERSONAL MENTIO! J. Richardson, national democratic com- mitteeman from lowa, and J. D. Yeomans of Sloux City left for home yesterday even- ing.It is stated that Mr. Yeomans is at pr ent being serfously considered by the presi- dent to fill the vacancy on the Interstate Commerce commission, occasioned by the death of Judge McDill, and rumor adds that he came here in response to a summons from the chief executive to consult with reference to_his appointment.

Thursday's Scenes In the House in a Me Repeated Yesterday. WASHINGTON, March 30.—When Speaker Crisp mounted the rostrum today he was given a rousing reception from members on both sides of the house, the demonstration lasting fully a minute. The battle of yester- day afternoon was promptly renewed by Mr. Reed on a challenge of the correctness of the Journal in failing to show Mr. Payne's point of order on the question of but one teller acting. On a rising vote the journal was approved, and on a call of yeas and nays the previous question was ordered and debate limited to fifteen minutes on each side. After a speech by Mr. Reed, regarding the speakers ruling yesterday, Mr. Reed's motion to amend the journal was voted down. The vote on approving the journal showed a quorum voting. Mr. Reed’s motion to adjourn was de- cided out of order, and the speaker refused to entertain an 'appeal, and refused to state the ground of refusal, holding that no member has a right to inquire the grounds of a decision any more than a law- yer has to demand the same thing of a Judge on a bench. 5 ‘That looks very much ltke tyranny,” remarked Mr. Reed, sarcastically. The next episode was the overruling of Mr. Boutelle’s point of order that the presi- dent's message vetoing the seigniorage bill should not be read, the house having made the contested election cases the special order. Again the speaker refused to entertain an appeal. The veto message was then read. Mr. Bland gave notice that next Tuesday he would move to pass the bill over the veto. During the roll call on Mr. Burrows' mo- tion to reconsider the vote by which the house had declared Mr. Joy not entitled to his seat, Mr. Reed, standing near the clerk’s desk, sald he ‘would like to be per- mitted to see the roll call taken. ‘This was resented by the speaker, who sharply ordered Mr. Reed to his seat and directed the sergeant-at-arms to enforce order, us Mr. Reed did not move fast enough to suit_him, “This is entirely unnecessary,” safd Mr. Reed, looking the speaker in the eve. “It'is not,” replied the speaker. “Instead of taking 'your seat you respond every time."” sure “Certainly T do, because the chair has attacked me,” sald Mr. Reed, now thor- oughly aroused, There seemed to be an element of per- sonal hostility in the clash between the two house leaders. Later on the speaker protested that he had not understood Mr. Reed to prefer a request for permission to stand by the clerk's desk, and with this semi-apologetic explanation the - Incident closed. The roll call now disclosed the lack of @ quorum and the house took a recess until § o'clock. s TIM HEALY IN HIGH DUDGEON. RKemoved from the Freeman's Journal Board He Quits the Room in Anger. DUBLIN, March 30.—There were further disorderly scenes at the adjourned meeting of the directors of the Freeman's Journal. After a hot passage-at-arms the annual re- port was adopted. A motion was then made to substitute John McDonald for Timothy | Healy as a member of the board. Mr. Healy demanded to know why he was being dis- placed. The meeting was in an uproar and such epithets as ‘“thundering blackguard” were exchanged. When Thomas Sexton arose to make an explanation of his own position, the excitement was aggravated. ‘or a long time the situation was very threatening. When order was somewhat re- stored John Dillon declared that if he was ousted from the board he would not appeal to the country as Mr. Healy had threat- ened to do, but would stiil do his best for the company. The motion to remove Mr. Hoaly was then carried by a small majority. Mr. Healy in high dudgeon quitted the room followed by a dozen of young priests, A vote was then taken and carried on the motion to replace Mr. Dillon by Mr. Mooney. Friends of Mr. Healy demanded that a poll be taken on the question of removing him and the result was the casting of the votes of 12,000 shares of stock for his successor against 6,000 for Mr. Healy.

CINCINNATI, March 30.—Mrs. McClel- land Lrewn, formerly of Wesleyan colege, this city, while Miss Pollard was a pupil, expresses her indignation at Roselle’s testi- mony in the case In the following letter to the general public: CINCINNATI, March 28.—I read with considerable surprise and contempt the testimony of Frankiin L. Roselle, The statements ar utterly false and far from the truth that it is due to the good name of old Wesleyan that 1 state the facts. It Is not true that he introduced Miss Pollard to the college. She brought here by Mr. Rhodes. His state ment that he called a number of each week during Miss Pollard's stay absolutely false, at while after Miss Pollard he called several times, but never at any other time thun Friday ning, from 8 to 10 o'clock, dur- ing general reception hours in the public parlor. It was the understood duty of teachers to constantly enter the reception room during the evening. The very strictest faculty was In charge that year, and I might” mention” here that Miss” Pollard was never brought before the ity for any misconduc It was impossible for Mr. Roselle to ee her at o'clock. After Mr. Roselle called two or three Friday evenings he came in company with Mr. McKissen and Mr. Frank Peele, They asked to take Miss Pollard and several other ladies to the revival services at Christ Methodist Ipiscopal church, near the college. At ‘{he rgnml Mr. Roselle went the altar, fessing penitence. He explained his rénson ot 5o doine: was that he wanted to. Ingratiate himselt nto the good favor of Brown, that he might try to gain his permission to call at the college more than once each week. He failed, and this sacrilegious act so angered Dr. Brown that the next time Roselle and his card, Hke that of all other callers, was handed’ to Dr. Brown before being ent to the young lady, he refused him admittance and gave him to under- stand that his presence was not wanted about the college. 'The injunction was made so strong that Roselle never called but once afterwards, which occasion was a spectal - . privilege 'granted him to say goodby to Miss Pollazd in the presence of a teacher. Mr. Roselle conveyed the impression that he was one of the partners of the John S. Hill company, when he was but an em- ploye. The deception was sgon discovered and, together with the @bove revival in- cldent, suggested to Dr. Brown that he was not the type-of young mun.-to-visit a young woman'’s collegv: In Miory, \the whols altuation i my. de- goribes 1t%1n his, tegmony i ridieu- lously absurd aud, tiseuliy] AL that it _seems unworthy of idenlal except in a court at law where unfortunately equal right is put upon each one's testimony.

The petition alleges that the bank Is a private institu- stion and not a state bank, and that the property of the co-partners is liable and sufficient to meet the $400,000 deficiency. It also alleges that several of the stock- holders’ conspired together - to have Theodore G. Stetnke appointed receiver of the bank as a state bank wrongfuily, and asks that he be removed. The petition disclozes A. W. Dickerson’s line (of defense and many legal men ac- quainted” with tie facts say this is the only defense possible, and If it is decided that ft Is a corporation Dickerson cannot hope to escape conviction. If it is a private cor- poration, as the petitioner alleges, it will glve Dickerson some hope and put money in the depositors’ pockets, but will be hard on the stockholders, who ar Cornelia P, Keyes Winslow, J.

DES MOINES, March 30.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—Papers have been made out and will be filed tomorrow in a suit begiin by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway against the Des Moines, Northern & Western raiiway, asking for an accounting of sums aggregating about $30,- 000, alleged to be due the former road from the latter on a traflic arrangement entered into between the two roads some two vears ago. The Des Moines, Northern & Western road will set up in answer an alleged violation of the contract by the Milwaukee road. It is said the object of the suit is to throw the Des Moines, Northern & Western road into the hands of a receiver, the ultimate rosult of which will be its absorption by the Mil- waukee road, which would give ‘it an en- trance to this city, which it has long sought to accomplish.

CRESTON, Ia., March 30.—(Speclal to The Bee)—The saloon men of this city are greatly disappointed over the passage of the new mulct law, as they were expecting a more liberal modification of the prohibi- tion law. Owing to the extreme stringency of the new law it is the general opinion that the saloon men will ignore it, and con- tinue to pay their monthly fine to the city council.

The pugilist made love to his land- lady's pretty daughter, Nellie, and fortune favored his wooing, as the young lady con- sented to become Mrs, Carroll. On Janu- ary 2, 1892, they were married without the knowledge or consent of the young lady's mother.

CENTS KILLED BY THE SPIES South Carolina Citizens Shot Down by Agents of the Liquor Law, HAD A BLOODY FIGHT AT DARLINGTON Two Residents and Two Spies Killed and Three Others Badly Wounded, GOVERNOR TILLMAN IS IN A TOUGH FIX His Efforts to Uphold the Dispensary Lax Aro Not Being Seconded, MILITIA REFUSE TO GO TO THE SCENE State Troops Lay Down Their Arms ix Preference to Fighting the People to Protect the Sples from What ms Inevitable Death, COLUMBIA, Mareh 30.—(Special Telegram o The Bee)—The passions aroused by the dispensary law and the spy system had the long expected result in a fight at Darlington this afternoon, fn which at least two spies and two citizens were shot to death and three men were badly wounded. This city was wild tonight. A crowd of 1,000 men surged about the bulle- tin boards. All the sympathy was with the citidens, and’the air was full of fierce ex- pressions against the governor, they dise pensary and the spies. The fight occurfed at 3:30 this afternoon at the depot, as a body of armed sples were leaving town. At 1 o'clock today the condition of affairs was quiet and the Sumter light infantry, ord. to Darling- ton yesterday, returnied home, all danger being regarded as ove In the fight Frank B. Norment, a prom- inent young Insurance man, and a man named Redmond from North Carolina and Constables McLennon and Pepper were Killed outright. Chief of Police Dargan, K. D. Lucas and Lewis Norment wero shot and dangerously wounded, When Governor Tillman received the news a hasty conference was held with Adjutant General Farley, a special train ‘was arranged for and the three local militia companies were ordered to assemble at their armories. Meanwhile telegrams were rec from the attorney general at Darlington requesting that military be sent to restore order, and also from the sheriff at Darlington, declaring he was un- able to keep the peace. Colonel Wylie Jones of the Palmetto regiment was or- dered to proceed with troops to Darlington. MILITIA REFUSED TO GO. It at once became a question whether the militiamen, all sympathizers with the Darlington citizens, would go. The Co- lumbia Zouaves, commanded by Captain John G. Capers, assembled at thelr armory. The captain offered to go or not, as the majorfty élected. The roll was called and each man as his name was called laid down his gun. Then the captain did the same thing with his sword. When the news reached the streets there was wild cheer- ne. 3 Captain Alston of Richland volunteers found it impossible to get hix men together. Only six responded to the call. The Gov- ernor's guards debated the question an hour, the crowd waiting in the street below meantime becoming Impatient. Threats were made that if they attempted to march the crowd would attack them and capture thelr arms, Bishop Ellison Capers of the Episcopal church addressed the crowd and declared against the advisability of the company going to Darlington, and begged that they be shown no violence. All this time the guards had shown no disposition to go, and finally determined to disband in preference, In a moment the crowd heard the news and wild cheers went up. Somebody sug- gested that the state dispensary, two blocks down the street, be raided, and things looked extremely ugly. Speeches were made by N. G. Gonzales, editor of States; Captain John Capers and others against violence, and the assemblage dispersed. Everything is now quiet in the city. HAVE THE SPIES IN THE WOODS, News has been received here to the effect that the sples were surrounded in some woods near Darlington. The woods wero surrounded by an citizens, who were bent on avenging the wrong done them. Governor Tillman, having falled to get the Columbin militia to go, has ordered the Charleston militia out. This created intense excitement in that city, and it is not probable that they will go. Adjutant General Farley left on a speclal train for Darlington at 10 o'clock. The Light Ine fantry of Sumter has refused to go to Dar- lington, but Farley will be joined by the guards of Manning. It is suspected here that the enraged people of Darlington are determined upon cxterminating the spies, and they are not likely to be interfered with by the militia from other towns. Nothing has been heard from Darlington in four hours this Is taken as an indic citizens are”in a dan tion that the srous mood. WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAYS, At 6 o'clock this afternoon the newspaper representatives repaired to the executive mansion. The governor came hurriedly to the door. He secmed to be very much wor- ried and walked up and down the plazza. When told that the sples had taken to the woods he sald he could noi blame them when there were 400 or 500 men after them. He said “Nobod wants to do anything over there but to secure the peace and get the eivil authorities in possession of the town again, I have recelved a letter from the sherift which s an appeal to send the militia there. He suys he is powerless, Attorney General Buchanan tells me to send Gen- eral Farle with the militia. The mayor of Darlington played havoe yesterduy and no doubt is partly responsible for the trouble today. The mayor and the police should have arrested all the obstreperous men yesterday and there would never have been any trouble. They sowed the wind yesterday and reaped the whirlwind today. It is no light thing for men to resist the state law. BLAMES THE PAPERS ‘The News and Courler, the Greenville ‘ews and the State are directly responsible for the present condition of affairs. They have undertaken to educate the people to the bellef thit the constables do not have a right to search a private dwelling, It has never been disputed that with a war- FANt you can search un man's house for a murderer, a felon or stolen goods.
