A SOUTH CAROLINA ROW.
Senator Tillman Taunted by a Delegate
From Abbeville.
Columbia. S. C, Oct. 24. Last nialit
tho constitutional convention was enliv
ened by a hot war of words between Sena
tor Tillman and Mr. Frank B. Gary, a
delegate from Abbeville, during which the
lie was passed and it Vas expected that the
two men would come to blows immediately
after adjournment, w"hicn took place at
midnight. i
Senator Tillman is a firm (advocate of
forming new counties, while jMr. Gary is
not. The former had been taunting Mr.
Gary with forming unholy alliances politic
ally to defeat new counties, though he
never said exactly what they were.
Last night Mr. Gary said that it ill be
come Benjamin R. Tillman to taunt any
one with forming such alliances. He,
Tillman, had entered into a secret combi
nation to 'rush three new counties through
the convention, and it came with poor
grace from a man like him to be throwing
such things into the faces of other men.
Senator Tillman got very much excited
and resented the imputation against his
honor and honesty. He said he did not
want to have a personal difficulty with the
gentleman or to break friendly relations,
but he could not sit quietly by when suck
an untruth was uttered.
Mr. Gary replied that parliamentary
usages and the respect he had for the con
vention prevented him from resenting
then the words used by Senator Tillman.
but he would hold him personally re
sponsible outside. The convention was
in an intenso state of excitement. Sen
ator Tillman made no reply, but sat
quietly in his seat, though it could be seen
that he was much wrought up.
Before adjournment friends began to
try to settle the matter and avoid diffi
culty, which they succeeded in doing.
After the convention both gentlemen met
and mutual explanations were made. Mr.
Gary misinterpreted some remarks Till
man made on Tuesday and that led him
to call the senator to task, with the wordy -Tjrar
as the outcome. Mr. Gary is a cousin
of Governor Evans, who was quite active
in bringing about a reconciliation.

HOLMES CONDUCTS HIS OWN CASE,
While Sparring: for a Postponement the
rrfsoner Dismisses His Coiimel, Who
Will be Punished for Contempt for With
drawing from tlio Case.
Philadelphia, Oct. 29. The trial of BL j
H. Holmes, the notorious insurance swin
dler and nlieged murderer of a number of
persons in various parts of the ; country,
who was indicted here for the murder of
Benjamin F. Pitezel in this city in the
summer of 1891, began before J udge Ar,
r.old in the court of oyer and terminer.
The prosecution is conducted by District
Attorney George . S. fikJtham, assisted by
Thomas W. Barlow as special counsel.
William A. Shoemaker - and Samuel P.
Kotan were counsel for the defense.
Mr. Shoemaker then asked for a continu
ance of the case. He urged lack of time,
which had hampered the preparation of
the defense. "There are three homicide
cases involved in this case," he urged,
"and we have had only as much time as
would be adequate preparation on one."
Evidence, he continued, to be obtained not
only from distant points in this country,
but also from abroad, the defense had been
unable to procure in the short space of
time left to them since the finding pf the
indictment. . The prosecution had, been
working on its case for 300 days, while the
defense had had but sixty. , Under these
circumstances he felt justified -tn asking
for a continuance of sixty days to give
them an opportunity to gather their wit
nesses. Many of these would present newly
discovered evidence of such vital import
ance that Holmes would undoubtedly be
acquitted of this charge.
Mr. Graham vigorously opposed a post
ponement, and Mr. .Ho tan as strongly
urged it. After listening.tothe arguments
Judge Arnold denied the motion for a con
tinuance. !
Mr. Shoemaker and Mr. Bbtan j then
created a stir by saying in turn to the
court that if the judge's decision was irre
vocable they would withdraw from the
case, but Judge Arnold declared that a
member of the bar who would Withdraw
from a murder case on the eve of ita trial
would be called upon to show cause why
he should not be disbarred for-unprofes-
sional conduct. --
Judge Arnold then ordered the empan
elling of a jury. One juror had beeir ad
mitted by the commonwealth. when'there
was another sensation. Holmes arose in
the dock, and in a high quavering voice
said to Judge Arnold:
"May it please the court, I have no in
clination to continue with the trial of this
case with Mr.'Hotan and Mr. Shoemaker
as my counsel, feilin: tli:i,t, in view of
their desire to withdraw, my interests
would be damned. I therefore discharge
them as my counsel."
answered Judge Arnold. ''That is for the j
court, and if they withdraw from this case
they will be punished."
"If," continued Holmes, his tones still
more trembling, "if your honor will give
me until tomorrow to secure additional
counsel "
"Wo will have no more 'debate, Mr.
Holmes. The matter is decided."
The examination of juror was about to
proceed when Mr. Shoemaker again arose
and stated that the prisoner absolutely for
bade them from representing him in the
case, and - declared that he ( Holmes )
would examine the jurors and witnesses
himself.
Judge Arnold said he would permit
Holmes to question the jurors if he so de
sired. Then Holmes himself took up the exam
ination of jurors, and peremptorily chal
lenged the first one. The second one he
accepted.
I Ajthis juncture Messrs. Rotan and
Sho piaker declared that they felt obliged
to Withdraw from the case regardless of
consequences.
''You must take the consequences, then,"
said the judge, and the two lawyers, with
out further ado, left the courtroom.
The services of Everett J. Schofleld and
J. M. Fahy, young members of the bar,
were offered to Holmes, ; but ' he refused
then services, and asked for a day's post
ponement in order that he might see Mr.
R. O. Moon. The judge, however, . again
refused a postponement, and Holmes re- j
sumed Ms cross examination of talesmen, ;
showing marked ability. !
Finally, shortly before noon, a jury was
selected, as follows: Foreman, Andrew
Hertel, shoemaker; Robert Chambers,
carter; Robert J. Kincade, florist; Samuel
Wood, manufacturer; Richard Johnson,
painter; Lewis Reese, farmer; William P. ;
Hansell, wagon builder; James Kenney, 1
foreman ;Linf ord Biles, paymaster ; Th omas
Sloan, driver; John J. Smith, engineer;
George D. Clash, soap maker. -
After a twb hours' recess District Attor
ney Graham began his opening address to
theiurv. He declared that he had con
vincing proof that Holmes had murdered
Beiijamin F. Pitezel. 1
. At the conclusion of Mr. Graham's ad
dress Holmes addressed the court, asking
that he be allowed to have a lighted cell
- during the evening and night; that he be
provided with writing materials, -and that
he be allowed to see his wife the one
known in this case as Mis3 Yohe. 1 The dis
trict attorney declared that the woman de
clined to see'him, and it was finally ar
ranged that he should write to her. Judge .
Arnold promised the prisoner all the op-
j portunities he required iu preparing nis
The Fascinating: Daughter of Great Brit
ain's Coming RuUr Made Her Choice of
a Uf Partner Uninfluenced by Affairs of
State.
Copenhagen, Oct. 29. It is officially
announced that Princess Maud of Wales,
youngest daughter of the Prince and
Princess of Wales, is betrothed to Prince
Charles of Denmark. The princess was
born Nov. 26, 1869, and the prince was
born Aug. 3, 1872. Prince Charles is the
second son of Prince Frederick, heir ap
parent to the throne of Denmark, whose
fotherhe king of Denmark, is also the
father of the Princess of Wales.
London, Oct. 29. The Times says, ex
pressing the national joy at the betrothal
of Princess Maud of Wales: "The fact
x PRIWCESS MAUD.
that it is a pure love match, free.iru:- all
suspicion of state influence, will add im
mensely to its popularity with the English
-people "
A recent writer in the London Figaro,
speaking of the probable betrothal of one
of the daughters of the. Prince' of jVVales to
a grandson of tne Kta-o xonaAi avs :
"Princess Victoria, by disposition and
inclination, is far more suited to be the
consort of a future ruler, but she has
neither the beauty, nerve or charm of
Princess Maud, who, as 'Mis3 Mills,' has
when paying private visits to intimate
friends, broken the hearts of scores of sus
ceptible youths. 'Harry,' a3 the royal
family call Princess Maul, is a most fas
cinating girl, gifted with many talents, a
strong will- and an affectionate disposi
tion. She is her father's favorite daugh
ter. She is very clever with her fingers
after a boyish fashion and her favorite
pastime is stulnng . and mounting Dirci3
and small animals, wood carving and the
working of iron and copper. She rides,
drives and skates, but, contrary to gen
eral belief, does not shoot."

REGULATOR?
Are yoii taking Simmons Xiveb Reg
ulator, the "Kino of Liver Medi
cines?" That is what our readers
want, and nothing but that. . It is the
same old friend to which the old folks
pinned their faith and were never dis
appointed. But another good recom
mendation for it is, that it is better
than Pills, never gripes, never weak
ens, but works in such an easy and
natural way, just like nature itself, that
relief comes quick and sure, and one
feels new all over. It never fails.
Everybody needs take-a liver remedy,
and everyone should take only Sim-
mons Liver Regulator.
Be sure you get it. The Red Z
