The dispell sary law is menaced in many ways and from many sides. As the Governor arrayed his forces against the intelligence and cap ital of the State so the intelligence is now studying to render his law inoperative. In the first place the townspeople have stocked their houses with a six months' supply of wines and liquors. Next the liquor dealers otic whose license has not expired being chosen to make a test ease are likely to challenge the consti tutionality of the new system which has destroyed their business, and has been avowedly set up to make money for the State. The railroads will endeavor to cripple the law. Their officers take the ground that the provision lorliiddiug them to carry original and other packages of liquor into South Carolina is an interference with the internal commerce of the country. which only Congress can restrict or reg ulate. In the second place, the State Railroad commissioners, under the Gov ernor's orders, have ordered a reduction of the freight rates on liquors purchased by the State. The railroads will decline to alter their rates, and one principal line, the Richmond and Danville, was reported on Sunday last to have already instructed its agents to accept and carry li'iuors consigned to citizens at any all points in -South Carolina. The lawyers of the State assert that the law can be unset upon a review of the manner in which it passed the lower House ot the Legislature,; where it was concurred in as nn amendment, instead of having three readings, as a separate bill. Finally, it is urged that the Governor committed a grave breach of the revised statutes when he expended more money than his Legislature set apart for his experiment. I?ut the complete failure of the law is predicted on urounds entirely apart from one he pleases, be can shut up all the clubs in the cities as "common nui sances." lie can fill the town with spies. He can arrange matters so that only friends may buy drinks, for every dispenser is allowed to use discretion in this regard, and can refuse liquor to whomsoever he says he does not know or whomsoever he may accuse ot drinking too much. Al ready blanks arc printed which seem to indicate an intention to harass all law breakers and suspects without the risk of jury trials. They bint at proceedure by injunction, followed by contempt ot court proceedings if such are deemed necessary, l lie uovernor nas saia mat he expects the prohibition counties to become so dry, so devoid of blind pigs and illicit liquor, that they will apply for a revocation of their prohibitory laws and the setting up of State grog Keriis. At the end of the year it is not predicting too much to prophesy that he will cause the law to be so amended that all the other counties will be pro vided with dispensaries whether thev will or no, iu order to defeat those oppo nents who now refuse to apply for them. When it is understood that for vcars past the only liquor sold li-gitimately in South Carolina has been sold in the towns, and that the country districts havewll along been "dry," it will be perceived thatit is the towns the Gov ernor will have to deal with in the main. And it is the towns that have opposed and defied him. It is the towns that he will humble if be can. Julian Kalpb in New York Sun. TLRRIBLE ACCIUENT NKAU TTIII-: WOIl I.Il'H FAIR.

Us possible unconstitutionality una apart from any restrictions the court may put upon its enforcement. Its fail ure is considered certain, bcciusc it is believed that it cannot be enforced so as to prevent the same illegitimate sale of liquor that has accompanied all prohibi tory laws in all parts of the country. Over the three land borders of the S'.ate, and into it by way ol the sea, liquor is suic to find its way. Indeed, no one doubts that the railways, the express comoanics. and even the postoffice will hritiR it in. The Tillmanitcs include thousands of tipplers, who will them selves beat the law, and will decline either to expose or convict those who are caught smuggling the stun or main taining "blind pigs." In the counties along the coast all sumptuary laws are abhorrent to the people, and the laws forbidding the sale of intoxicants out side the towns, now nnd for a long time on the statute books, have been openly and defiantly set at naught there, as they are today, and will be under the dispensary act. The limiting of the dis pensaries to only one for each county is considered a weak point, which will en courage a greater hauiiiness ot illicit liquor. To all these predictions Gov. Tillman replies, as he did in his interview with the correspondent of the Sun: "I will make the places that dou't accept dis pensaries dry enough to burn. 1 will send out enough constables known only to myself and the commissioner if I have to cover every block in the cities with a separate man." It is admitted that he has the power to do this, be cause the law permits him to employ "one or more constables." Hut his opponents say that the spy system is repugnant to t lie people and will not be supported. Thev say. also, that at the rate provided by the law, $2 a day and expenses, each constable will cost the State $3 a day. A thousand constables would cost $1,000,000 in a year, and yet a thous and would not prevent the smuggling and sale ol illicit liquors. They say that Tillman cannot allortl to lose money on his experiment and that he will abandon it before much is lost, because he stands pledged to make money and to reduce taxes, and his own followers passed the bill through the Legislature for no other purpose. The straiuhtouts thus console them selves with arguments to show that the dispensary law is practically stillborn, hut the correspondent of The Sun, dur ing a very recent visit to the State, observed that the borernor s oppo nents were doing little or nothing but predicting, whereas the Governor and his allies vere very active indeed. After hearing the story of the Governor's political career, which evidences extreme shrewdness; after hearing the Governor's talk, which was full oi earnestness; and after seeing the Governor'a face, which is as expressive oi stubbornness and win as rut lace in America, this correspondent is not of the opinion that the Governor has committed himself and his people to a law in order to abandon it at the first obstacle or the first one hundred rebuffs. A good portrait of cx-Gov. McKinlcy would serve for a poor picture of Gov. Tillman. The faces of the two are of one type. He has but one eye, owing to a misfortune in his youth, but that is a very firm, clear and cold optic. Ilia lips arc thin, and are held closed together as tight as a watch lid. 1 1 is lower law and strong, square chin arc indicative of all the will power and perscvercncc that enabled him to turn topsy-turvy the very last State in which such a feat would have seemed possible. In all likelihood he means to construct a close and great political machine by means of the dispensary law, and he may rely upon that to return him to office, even il its cost materially reduces the profits upon the state liquor. I be secret service constables, the dispensers, the local boards in each county, the bookkeepers, and the workmen in the main storage warehouse will torm a considerable body of dependents such as no other party in the state ever bad. lie bss not gone at the lutrouuctiou ol tne new system as a weakling. In two of the eleven counties that have dispensaries st the request of the majority of the iree- taolders in toe towns wneretne tnops are set up, it is urged by the straightouts that traud was resorted to in setting up tb dispensaries. The means which the bill puts at the Governor's hands for annoying his opponent are numerous, sod if he takes full advantage of them will prove alarming. lie can arrest any The liependeut Pensloneri1 Ac To He ItliEldlv Conmrued. Washington, Jul- 11. The Pension Bureau has notified a great many pen sioners throughout the entire country who are drawing pensions under the act June 27, 18U0, known as the depend ent pension act, that the payment of the pensions will be suspended for sixty days, during which time they are re quired to sho w cause why they should continue to draw pensions. The testimony necessary to prevent their being dropped from the rolls is the certificate of a reputable physician attested by two witnesses to the effect that the pensioner is precluded from ac tive labor, owing to injuries or disabili ties nt the result of his own vicious habits. This action is pursuant to a recent ruling of Secretary Smith, to the effect that pensioners drawing pensions for total disability must be shown to be physically incapable of manual labor. The Hoard of Keview appointed to carrv into effect that decision is now going over nil the cases ot June 27, 1 800, probably 11)0,000 in number, se lecting those cases which show in the record that the pensioners may not be incapacitated for manual labor. Under Secre'nry Smith's ruling, the department holds that a man who can work should not draw a pension (or total disability. It is estimated at the pension office, although work has but recently been begun, that something over one thousand suspensions have al ready been made. COl'NTV COIIItIt?I':EtH.

One man, a painter, slid down a line of hose that had been carried up by the firemen. Others waited and were burned to death or were killed or injured by leaping to the roof below. Many of those who lumped were embedded in the roof com position. A rope was bung from the upper balcony and a number of caged men were seen to struggle lor posses sion of the rope, but it soon burned off. A Hero's Death One by one thev dropped from the tower, some clinging to the uurning rope as far as it afforded them any hold and then shooting through a solid sheet of flame to the roof. The si"ht was too much for even the militarv men aud old firemen on the ground to bear without a shudder and turning away of faces. Human forms leaping through flames a hundred feet or more down, down to sure death presented a sibt the stoniest heart could not witness unmoved. The last man on that tower oieu a liero s death. Among all those who fac d the furnace below them, he had wjited with out apparent fear until there was only himself left. He was a fireman, and he grasped the remnaut of the burning rope just as the whole lower structure parted diagonally and tell towards the north, right over the prostrate bodies ol the poor fellows who had leaped to escape the pitiless flames. The last man who went down to death with the tow er kept his feet down as far as the rope went, and the rush of flames and air was so great that his body turned round and round in the passage within sight ot all and then the blazing tower fell over his form, making a funeral pyre and ending his agony if he was not dead before the striking of the roof. When the tower toppled over there was no hope of saving any who had not been taken off the roof. The bodies on striking had become imbedded nearly three feet in gravel and tar between joists and only a few could be removed to a place of safety before the great Cen tral Tower crashed over. Two hours after the extent ol the ca lamity bad become known $2,400 had been subscribed for the ucnctit of the fallen heroes. u-acl uodlcs Taken Out Today. R. I'.

July 11. The bank ing house of A. F. Thornton & Son failed yesterday. Liabilities probably $500, 0OO; assets unknown. Ten thousand people this, morning crowded around the debris, eagerly watching the search for dead bodies. Larly this morning three bodies were recovered irom the ruins. They were so badly charred as to make recognition impossible. The bodies were not the re mains of firemen. All the firemen who lost their lives were huddled up in one place in the dreadful fire trap. This discovery gave fresh color to the fearful apprehension that the firemen were by means the only ones who fell victims to the flames, and the public at once became disposed to doubt the declaration made yesterday that all the visitors and employees were out of the building before the conflagra tion reached the dangerous stage. The total number of dead bodies re covered at this time is 15. The Colum bian guard on duty yesterday at the scene of the disaster has constantly maintained that several World Fair visitors and electrical men and other workmen were caught in the flames. It has been decided to make a minute ex amination of the pyramid ot ruin and debris before the day is out. It has been definitely ascertained that 11 fhenicn lost their lives.
