Emery, the'principal in the abduction, is known to have been in Hamilton, , Ontario, on Pridav last, havinsr sent some telegrams from there, but all ettorts oi tne pouoe have been unsuccessful. Mr. Penta cost, this morning, mailed to Governor Dates, f Alabama, a clipping from a local paper in which the Cottle's attor ney states that the Governor was to re ceive $3,000 for securing the pardon of Emory, on the ground that the "Mr. Dates could do more with the President than anybody else," and Cottle now holds this money conditionolly in trust for the Governor, with an inquiry whether the Governor wishes these statements to go on record. If they are true, Mr. Pentacost adds, he will advise his client to authorize Cottle to pay over whatever money is owing to Gov ernor Dates. Governor Oatea Denies the Statement. Montgombby.

The temperature has been below nor mal the entire week, tne aenciency averaging from 2 to 4 degrees; the days have been warm but nignts quite cooi, at least retarding growth if not other wise injuring crops, xne precipitation has been very deficient especially in the western and central districts, where droughty conditions are beginning to prevail over large sections, une aver age rainfall for the week in the western district was only 0.10 inch; in the cen tral about 0.23 and in tbe eastern nearly 1.00. The east is not suffering for rain. The lack of rain is at present affecting chiefly vegetables and smaller crops. but if continued, mucn longer win lessen yield of corn.

They visit ed two houses there and robbed them in the same style,. - J.-. tno rare saw mat shoot, -h ' -' Mr. Sulli vaowaa seen standing on the grave of his sister just before the re port of the pistols was heard, butnoone saw him shoot. Several heard the re port of the pistols and. rushed to the spot, to find liim lying cross the grave dead, with the bullet hole in his head. Magistrate G. F. Steele and Dr. C. E. Walker, assisted by J. W, MuUeu, made .he -examination and had the body move to the vacant store house of Mr. L. C. McCoy's, where it was put on ice to await instruction from bis family. The pistol held in the left hand did the deadly work. It was a 38 calibre Smith & Wesson, hammerless. The ball entered the left temple and came out over the right eye, passing through the brain. The pistol held in the right hand was a cheap double action, and the ball from it struek just above the right eye and glanced off. A letter dated June 28th, 1895, ad dressed to "S. M. Sullivan, Covington, Ga ." was found in his pocket. It was written by S. P. McElroy, Troy, S. C. Money was found loose in several of the dead- man's pockets, which amounted to $22.68. He also had on his person a fine double case gold watch and chain, pocket knife, store key and lead pencil. He wore gold rinVglasses. Mr. Sullivan was about forty years of age. He had sandy hair and whiskers: was about 5 feet six inches high, and weighed 140 pounds. He wore a navy blue sacn suit, low quarter shoe9 and a soft felt hat; two bullet holes are in the hat. CAUSK OF THK ACT UNKNOWN. Wads worth's driver states that Mr. Sullivan talked a great deal abont his dead sister on the way to Huntersville. He also told the driver that he had not slept any for severkl nights, and that his family at uovingion, ua., were an sick. He said his visit here was to see his sister's grave. A telegram was sent to-day to his wife at Covington, Ga , stating the sad particulars of her husband's death. At 8:30 to-night a message was re ceived from Mrs.. Sullivan, requesting the body to be shipped at once. J. W. Mullen will leave in the morn ing on the 10 o'clock train with the re mains. He will go via Charlotte, Greenville, 8. C, Lula, Ga., Athens, and from there to Covington. NO INQUEST HELD. Dr. M. C. Hunter went to Charlotte this afternoon and notified Dr. H. M. Wilder. county physician. He stated that it was not necessary to hold an inquest. Nothing has ever stirred Huntersville more than this dis tressing affair. People from all sec tions of the country have come in to see the remains, and up to the time the body was shipped people were still Hocking in. Much sympathy is expressed here by the people for the bereaved wife and little children oi tne aeceasea. IN CHARLOTTCB.. He Got a Team Here and Reserved a Room at tbe Hotel. Mr. 8. M. Sullivan, whose suicide is told of at length in the Huntersville correspondence, arrived here Sunday morning on the 0:40 train, and regis tered at the Buford. After breakfast he went to the office and asked for a room, but afterward told Mr: Perkinson, the clerk, that he had decided to go to Huntersville, and asked for directions how to eet there. He said he would like to have his room at tile hotel re served, as he would return .'in the af ternoon. He then went to Wadsworth's stables to order a team. He said he was not well, so Mr. Wadsworth gave him a lady's phaeton, and Frank Phil lips one of his safest drivers He talked rationally along the way, and the driver did not once suspect that anything was wrong with- him. On arriving at Huntersville, they drove by his sister's house, then to the grave. He told Phillips to return to the stables, and if he was not back there by a quar ter to 2, that he (Phillips) could return to Charlotte. Phillips had not left him more than 20 minutes, before he heard of the suicide. The driver had sug gested to Sullivan that he eo to Dr. Caldwell's, but the latter said he did not went to speak to-anyone unless they recognized him. " He had the pistols Smith & Wesson and Remnjington on his person, but the driven did not see them. : " " '7-77-'"-"- - ' :" -7. The remains passed through here yesterday morning, en route to Coving ton. -. 7T- -' ' 7-;i7' ''- - Aetata flurmressed the news for three days. The names of the killed are: Miss Elsie Marshall, Miss Annie Gor don, "lss Bessie Newcombe and Miss Flora 1 Stewart, all of the English Zen ank Mission; Miss Nellie Saunders, It iss ITopsy Sounders, the Rev. IJb Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, of "the Church Missionary Society. Five of Mr. and Mrs. -Stewart's children were killed &6d two survive. One had one knee broken and the other, a baby, lost an? eye. Tbe following were saved; Miss Hartford, of the American Mission; MissCoddington, of the English Zenana Mission, and Rev. H. S. Phillips, of the English Church Missionary Ijoctety. TTniLftd States Consul Hixon. who is stationed at Foo Chow, with a party of volunters, upon receipt of the news of tbe massacre; started on a steam launch for tbe scene and has returned bringing with 'htm the surviving Americans. The experience of the survivors was terrible. They say that death was the least port of the sufferings of the butchered women. Mr. Jernigaa Desired to Head tbe Com missionMore of the Massacre. London. Aug. 5. The Daily Tele graph will print to-morrow a dispatch from Shanghai saying that the Rev. H. a. Phillins. of the English cnurcti Mis sionary Society, witnessed the atroci ties at Whasang, but was powerless to do anything to prevent them. The Chinese magistrate, the dispatch also says, waited until the foreigners were murdered "or had fled before he appear ed. The rioters, who numbered 50, were led by a man carrying a red flag.

Jndge Molse Says No More Mast Be Sold Clubs Would Soon Be 8nnday Saloons. New Okleans, La., Aug. 5. Judge Moise handed down an elaborate opin ion in the Social Club case in which the conclusion is that places of this charac ter are amenable to the provisions of the Sunday law. The opinion was ren dered in response to a demurrer filed for tbe president of the social clubs of this city several weeks ago, in order that the amenability of the Social Clubs to the provisions of the Sunday law should be settled at once. The president of one of the most prominent clubs had been twice in dicted for permitting the sale of liquors at tbe club on tsunaays. xne opinion concludes as follows: "If club saloons were permitted to sell liquor on Sun days, New Orleans would soon contain more social clubs than any other City on earth. This would be an easy, available and effective way of evading the law and would rather encourage than suppress the evils intended to be corrected, ner would it be of any -practical use to urge upon the court the distinction between a bona fide social club and one organized as a device to defeat the law. It sufficient that the door for such evasions would have been opened and taking judicial cognizance of the his tory of the enforcement of the law in this citv. I will hazard the assertion that such devices would be successful. The demurer is overruled and the de fendant ordered to plead." MR. SIMPSON SERIOUSLY ILL. diate opening up or " hostilities, 'ine negroes at Seatonville on the other hand held a meeting at . the Union church at II o'clock this, morning and organised themselves for active service. Hurean eonntv has 300 rcDeating Win chester rifles storedi in her court bouse at Princeton for the, pre tention of . the citizens and an effort will be made to secure these. Bbould this fail the men will arm them selves with shot guns or rifles and small arms and make an effort to regain their homes and house-hold goods at Spring Valley. They also adopted a resolution that they will continue to work in the Spring Valley mines until discharged by the coal employer. The police and sheriff are making no effort to arrest the rioters. The spirit of lawlessness is on the increase. In addition to the negroes reportea intiired from vestereay's conflict four others are missing as follows: Wash ington Carson aged 47 years. Arch Fleming aired 35 years, 8am Johnson aged 30 years and Lewis Martin aged 35 years. Of these it is the opinion that two at least are lying dead in the woods sur rounding the late negro colony as the finding of two prostrate bodies have been reported by farmers. , A FOUR FOUND CHUNK OF GOLD.
