best of feeling seems to prevail between the
citizens and the soldiers. Adgt.-Gen. Rich
bourg, in command, does not know how

lias ordered the postponement of the cor

in order to get the constables there to testify,

Florence, S. C, April 2. The spy who
was heard from at Nettles crossing this
morning came to Florence and took train
60 for Bonnaues where he has gone to his
home near Strawberry. His name is Heap.
He was wounded ,in the arm and shot
through the stomach. He told Conductor
Kussel that he was going home and said
there was not enough money in the job for
him. He said thai ho -oo ; t-i.- I
ton affair and was so badly founded that
ne naa to stop on his way and sot in a dirnh
ana covered up with brush to ,ieep from
oeing xound
At 9 o'clock to-night the special train with
part of the troops from Tarlinsrton arrived
here. Gen. Hugh L. Farley, adjutant and
inspector general, is here also. The com
panies that are.here constitute four battal-
nons and are made up of the Morgan rifles
or onnton, Capt. M. S. .Mitchell, thirty
men, me Jiaxweu tiuards, of Greenwood
oapt. ix. j. . iyans, thirty men. the Edt?e

iuc luauua was received here bv t.ho
boys fa great shape and are minelin? to
gether with the citizens of.Florence as though
iuey were residents of the city. They are quar
wjreuin toe Florence Rifle's on Evens and
Dargan streets oyer Penney's store and are
Deing treates to some first-class music by
the Florence Silver Cornet band. They
were given supper at the Central hotel. The
soldiers are well, pleased with Florence and
are glad that they were sent here so that
they could see for themselves there was no
use for them. It is certainly a death blow
for Tillman with the soldier boys. They
now see that it was only spite work on his
part. Florence at 12 o'clock to-night with
our streets filled with soldiers and citizens.
is as quiet as tne waters of the Cape Fear
river.
Adjt. uen. .Farley now thinks that the
troops will be called in by midday to-morrow.
Still, there is no telh'ns? wh
irand High Priest Tillman will call them
uacK to tne Capitai city. At any rate they
have stacked guns and are taking in the
town.
Florence besides being filled wifck militia
has an equal number of newspaper men
from all over the country. This how seems
to be the seat of war so far as news is con
cerned. Florence and Darlington are now resting
quietly under martial law. That is the
latest that Governor Tillman has done for
these two counties. The malitia in Darling
ton under charge of Adjt. Gen. Farley has
full sway of the city and troops are to ar
rive here to-night to take charge of the af
fairs of this city. Adjt. Gen. Farley has in
forjmed Governor Tillman that things are
quiet and there was no necessity of sending
troops here, but' inspite of this, he. has sent
them. The military boys are good natured
though and we are all happy to know that
we have got some kind of tlaw even if it is
malitia law.
The posses that were, searching for the
murderers f rdm Darlington and Florence all
returned home yesterday before the hour of
Tillman's proclamation expired. They were
close on the track of the crowd that was
near"Muldrew's mill Saturday, but failed to
catch up with them. Last xiight Chief
Gailliard, Felder, Murphy, Willingston,
Hanby, McCante, Bryson, Cardre and one
other reached Lake City, on the North
eastern railroad, and boarded Train No. 23
for Charleston. They rushed into the train
and pulled the blinds down so that they
could not be seen on board. The missing
spies are Kingj Meekins, Swann, Brown,
Hollo way and Chief Gajllard's son Walter.
The spies that got through safe were cared
for, as I stated Friday night, by some of the
Tilimanites, in lower Florence county and
driven to Lake City last night Chief Gail
lard must have little, feeling for his own son,
whom he has left in the woods alone with a
dangerous wound. His nose was shot off.
Last night at 8 o'clock a special train of
seven cars loaded with soldiers passed
through here for Darlington where they
are now in charge.
The dispensaries at Darlingion and Flor
ence have been ordered closed by Governor
Tillman until things reach their normal
condition again. There was little use for
him to order the Florence dispensary closed,
as there w as not enough liquor left to open
up. The State barroom here has been com
pletely abandoned land no liquor can be
had! The Tilimanites that tame to town
to-day could not get a drop for their stom
ach's sake, consequently they left in disgust.
News was received here this afternoon
that one of the spies had beeirseen at Net
tle's Crossing, between here and Darlington.
The sheriff of this county, the mayor, chief
of police and a sheriff's possee from Flor
ence went up to get him, but he could not
be found, the party bringing the news say
he was wounded in the arm. When last
seen he was making his way for Lake City.
Spy McLendon, the o&e pounded at Dar
lington, was spirited away on Saturday
about 12 o'clock while the funeral services
Of Mr. Frank Normcnt was being held.
The Darlington people were tetribly put out
when they found that McLendon, the mur
derer of Norment, had escaped. If he had .
been in Florence he would have been
lynched.
A special train with 100 of the troops from
Darlington has just arrived. They ;would
have been here sooner but in getting ready
for the start some of the cars backed off the
track. They will take charge of the city,
and we will then be under full martial law
and Ben Tillman will be happy, as this has
been his purpose all the while. ,
A meeting of the "wool hats" of the
county was held here to-day with closed
doors. What was done at that meeting can
not be told, aa all who were not in sympany
with Tillman and his gang were asked to
get out, even the newspaper reporters were
made to hustle. The object of the meeting
aa to-elect delegates to the convention
which is to be held in Columbia on April
5th to select a State ticket for the next cam-
jaign. It is said that resolutions commend
ing the action of Governor Tillman in call
ing the State troops together for the purpose,
of protecting the spies were passed. Tliere
were about seventy-five of them present,
which goes to show that there are few Tili
manites in Florence county.
The reports from Darlington are to the
effect that should any disturbance occur in
that fown now t' would be between the mili
tary. A special from Darlington to a gen
.tleman in this city states that the militia
upon its axfival here will make some ar
cannot
Gen. W. W. Harlee, one of the ablest and
best posted constitutional lawyers in the
State, city attorney of Florence, declares
that Governor Tillman violated the law in
Florence and Darlington, and adyised all
citizens to submit, but to do so under pro
test, to arrest should such be attempted. He
says that military executing such order are
subject to penalties of law for invasion of
private rights as any officer of court acting
without authority subject to penalties.
A conference was arranged ' between
Mayor Hussey, Gen. Harlee and the mili
tary officers in command, but other matter
occupying the attention of the military, the
conference was postponed.
Gen. Harlee gives out the following as his
authority. Sec. 25 of the bill of riehte in
the constitution of South CanViir... .ri..
No person shall in any case "be subiect to
martial law or to any pain or penalties by
virtue of that law except those employed in
tne army or navy of the United States and
except the militia in actual service, but by
authority of the General Assembly. Sec.
13 says no person shall be held to answer
for any crime or offence unless the same is
fully, fairly, plainly, substantially and
frwmatlrr .1 Z I I f. - .

person shall be arrested, imprisoned
spoiled or dispossessed of his property, im
munities and privileges, put out of protec
tion of the law, exiled or deprived of his
life, liberty, or estate, but by judgment
of his peers or the Jaw of the land and
the General Assembly shall ;not enact any
law that shall subject any person to punish
ment without trial by jury. Article 13,
Sec. 2 says: The Governor shall have
power to call out the militia to execute the
law, repel invasions, repress insurrection
and procure the public peace. The general
statutes limited this giving assistance to the
civil authorities only on their ..call. The
civil authorities in this case have declared
that no assistance was needed and by mak
ing himself judge of the needs of the ciyil
authorities, in this case he has trangressed
the law himself. " .

passed its first day under martial law with
out special incident. Nothing has vet oc-
curreu to mar tne peace and quiet which
was restored before the advent of the mili

militia has been eiven the-freedom nf tho
city and rendered every courtesy. The peo
ple here realize that the troops, with few
exceptions, are their friends and will not
hurt them. " '
There is however, the natnral
restraint over the fact of being placed under
military rule and the uncertainty as to how
long the troops will ba quartered here. Gen
Richboure in-command. savs that ho it, vr.

troops will remain here. He reports that
everything is peaceful and perfectly quiet,
and that he sees no evidences nf frrnhi
He has on that account refrained from isdn-
ing a proclamation and awaits Governor
unman s orders m that direction.
The first thing to happen since the arrival
of the troops to which any possible signifi
cance can be attached, was the postpone
ment of the hearing of the testimony before
the coroner's iurv under orders frnm a.
einor xiuman to-aay. some fear that this
here under military escort, to testify at the
inquest. If this occurs trouble is likely to
occur. The citizens' advisory committee
has done nothing since the arrival of the
mihtia. The city is under military discipline
and public places are being patronized.
The soldiers are haying a good time of it.
About 2 o'clock the military ritchd thir
tents about half a mile from the square in a
recently plowed field. The property is
under the control of Mavor
this hour the men have few blankets, no
cooking utensils, but have a lot of flour and
hams. Strict military rules are being en
forced and the companies are getting drilled
in camp life. About half of the command
is m camp, and the other has been given
leave or absence and are un town. Tho
soldiers all seem anxious to go home, except
those from the Edgefield command, which,
it is understood, has agreed that none, of
the men will go home until the entire com
mand is aiscnarged.
There have been freouent tel P0Tms nn su

after a talk with the manager, allowed bus

assume the role of tyrant. '
So far as is known all the constables have
left this county, and it is certain that no
posse is in pursuit. A report was current
that two constables had been found dead
near Timmonsville. Inquiry developed the
fact that there was no correctness in the

Columbia. S. C.. Anril 2. Since denartnre
of the troops for Darlington yesteraay
everything has resumed its accustomed
quietude, and there is httlendication of the
tumult and disorder that reiemed Friday
niuht. A detail stands guard at the West
ern Union lelegraDh office, scrntmizin?
messages to see that nothing contraband
goes over the wires. The trooDS and armed
volunteer companies still continue to arrive,
and to-night fourteen companies of the
State volunteer troops, besides the citizen
volunteers, are encamped here. If Gover
nor Tillman does not call a halt, from the
appearances, Columbia will be overran with
militia by the ead of the week.
At dress parade this afternoon the eeneral
orders were read and the volunteer bodies
were notified that if it was their desire to
continue In the service of the State, they
could elect officers and Governor Tillman
would issue commissions to them. General
Order No. y contained a scathing rebuke to
the Newberry Rifles, who responded to the
Governor's call to the extent of coming here
and doicg guard duty last night, but dis
bandine to-day. His letter m the general
orders was as follows :
"Headquarters, Executive Mansion, i
Columbia, S. C April 2, 1894. i
'Capt. S. J. MeCaughrin, commanding JTeic

be subjected to the same rules and articles
of war as the troops of the United States.
"The action of your company and your
daring to send it to me, under these rules, is
mutiny and an insult to tne commander-in-
chief, who was given his commission by the
people. The duty of a soldier (and the mil

Gowrnor, and Commander-in-Chief."
The reading of the erder was received
with great applause by the assembled troops.
The letter of Capt. S. J. MeCaughrin, of
the rew.berry rifles, refered to in said order
is as follows:

on duty at the State House, and went there
on invitation to partake of the hospitality
at dinner, of the Governor and Mrs. Till
man. inis troop marched to the mansion
just before 6 o'clock and stacked arms in
front , before they entered. Governor Till
man was in the happiest frame of mind for
manv hours. He was pleased that there
had been no blood shed and that he had ac
complished his work of maintaining the
law without a bullet having been fired. The
news which he had received during the
morning from Gen. Richbourg and Gen.
i arley was of an encouraging nature.
The Governor received offers of assistance
from a half dozen States, the majority of
them coming from North Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama. This shows th fu

The Governor has fWlinixf "all nff,

events may be avoided and that within a

Editor Garlington is of the opinion that
the trouble is entirely at an end, and that
there is no excuse for troops being here.
A Dosse made up of ten Tilimanites,
headed by Sheriff Scarborough, and ten con
servatives under Mr. McCullough went to
find the wounded constable Heap. It is
thought he got to Charleston. He was
traced to Florence. The posse guaranteed
to turn him over to the military here and
protect him.
Florence, S. C. April 2. This place has
been perfectly quiet thronediout the day in

have been thrown out and everything is in

militia being ordered to take very radical
action. It is hoped this is not probable.
Charleston, S. C, April 2. A special

The Sun's Cotton Review.
New York7 April 2. The Sun's cotton re
view says: Cotton advanced 7 points then
reacted, and closed weak at a net advance of
1 to 2 points. Sales were 128,700 bales.
Liverpool advanced 3 to 3i points, closing
very steady. Spot sales were 12,000 bales at
hardening, but unchanged prices. In Man
chester yarns were firm, cloths quiet. Bom
bay receipts for the half week were 22,000
bales. New Orleans- advanced 6 to 8 points
and lost half of this latter on. The port re
ceipts were 8,195 bales, against 6,430 this day
last week and 10,299 last year; thus far
this week. 15,202 bales against 13,263 thus
far last week. Exports to-day were 1,820
bales to Great Britain and 6,000 to the Con
tinent. Spot prices here were firm. Sales
were 321 bales for spinning; delivered on
contract, 100. Southern spot markets showed
more strength, with a better inquiry at
some points. Here at New York to-day the
bulls were cheered up by a rise in Liverpool,
a moderate crop movement, and the report
of a better spot demand in some sections
of the South from New England
mills. The f fiends of cotton only
ask strong Liverpool news and revival
of the spot trade with American manufac
turers, who are not now favored with a bet
ter business in cotton goods. No boom is
excepted until the tariff question is settled,
but, in the meantime, the dry goods mer
chants are encourged, owing to the report
of prompt collections. Later in the day
much of the early advance was lost, owing
to long selling. Fear of the Option bill and
a denial of a report that a large mill at Fall
River is to start np were among the bearish
features. It is still a narrow market.

"My recollection is that the conversation
did not cover at the ont.nido nv

weapons. &ne said to me during our talk
that she would not kill
her that month. I replied: 'I will marry
you on the last day of the month if God
does not interpose I then said I was going
to tell the whole matter. Then she said- 'Is
it neceesary to tell everything?' I answered
that I intended to tell everything that had
iiaypcueu iu me. one placed ner nand on
my shoulder and remonstrated nhrm
telling. I asked her if she would do what I
wanted if I did not tell. She said she would.
I turned to Maj. Moore and said: 'I think
we can settle this matter hpt.wpun no t
took her there for the purpose of deliv
ering her over to the. police, and
had she not made her promise to me to do
as I asked I would have done it. There was
no request to Maj. Moore that he should
preserve the secret. I told her that the mat
ters would probablv be in the
that we had probablv been seen going in the
office of the chief of police and that a public
scandal would result. I told her she could
not get another dollar out of me not a dol
lar more for her suoDort. She then hfan
to cry and told me that her nervous manner
and her excitement resulted from her deli
cate condition."
' Now tell what happened after vou took
the pistol away from her in the house of
Mrs. Thomas "r she had attempted to
take yo.ur life."
"I left her.. y-She -fainted or simulated
fainting. The next morninsr before T had
gone to breakfast she sent up her card to
mjr m m. me xuggs nouse, and 1 went
down to see her in the narlor. She was full
of protestations of regret over the scene she
had created at Mrs. Thomas' and we had an
amiable interview. She told me she was
willing to keep her agreement about going
away from Washington and she submitted
to me a schedule of thines she needed monev
for-her board at Mrs. Thomas', railroad fare
and a number of other things. She also
asked for a small additional sum of money
to pay some expenses here before going
away. We parted with expressions of re
gretregret on her part that we were obliged
to part and that she had acted so hadlv-To-
fret on mine for her delicate condition,
his was on Sunday, May 14th. The next
mgiit ji was in my room at tne Kiggs nouse
entertaining some Kentucky friends when
sne came again and seemed very nervous
and excited. She said she was eoiner to
spend the night at Mrs. Blackburn's, and I
took her there." i
Col. Breckinridge told of a conversation I
with Mrs. Blackburn the same week in
which Mrs. Blackburn demanded the ex- 1
planation which Col. Breckmridire had
failed to give in New York, of how Miss
I'oiiaro and tne witness came to be stopping
at the Hoffman house together. He said he
declined to give any explanation, saying it
was not for him to explain, and Mrs. Black
burn said she washed her hands of the
whole business, and did not want anvthinw
to do with people who behaved so badly
and abused ner confidence in such a way.
Miss Pollard afterwards said to witness she
was glad it had ended that way; that they had
nothinsrmore to fear from ifr. Rlankhnm
and she would go to New York and drop out
of his life without explanation to anybody.
Arrangements to send the plaintiff to New
York and to be cared for during her con
finement by a physician who had been an
intimate friend of the defendant in the Con
federate army, were also told. He related
in great detail, a long conversation which
resulted in an agreement between Miss Pol
lard and himself to go to see Maj. Moore
again in reference to their first interview
with him. During this talk Miss Pollard
displayed a pistol which she had in her
breast. " "I said to her, " said the witness,
"you are too 'near to use that." She said
she did not intend to use it if she used it
at all, it would be on herself.

point by Senator Morgan, who added that
it was expected that the proposed legisla
tion would be supplemented by correspond

should be disappointed in any respect the
Government of the United States would find

had no expectation however, that

in view of the high examnle which tho

to execute every part and parcel of that

An objection to hurrying the bill through

spoke of such action as being utterly un

penal clauses of the most stringent char
acter. Finally the bill was ordered to hp nrintwi
