ernor of South Carolina, but Was
Nevertheless Interesting Claims
That Sensational Press Reporters
Are Largely Responsible for the
Recent Troubles Is Not Afraid of
Assassins The Militia Dismissed.
Columbia. S. C, April 3.
H T 10 o'clock this morning tun mil
A itia were drawn up in front of
j" tli state capitol and shortly
LTU afterward Governor Till man p
peared and made an address. H ex
plained the coudition of affairs, charg
ing the receut trouble on tho oppo
nents of the administration and the
old whiskey sellers, but chit-fly upon
daily Koadinc of newspapers devoted
to the old oligarchy. He aitid that the
dispensary law wan a good one, that lie
was sworn lo execute everv law on the
statute book and ho proposed to do so.
He did not propose, however, to turn
th- state into an armed camp to en
force the law. Enough humnu life
had beeu sacrificed to the moloch of
drink. He would issue his proclama
tion tomorrow, based on section 01!) of
the general statutes, which gave him
power to absolutely ontrol the munic
ipal police.
Tbe constables would not be put to
the work of searcliiug private resi
dences hereafter. T boy would be made
to watch the police, the railroads and
the express companies. If tbe police
would not do their duty he would dis
place teem aud employ police who
would.
THE UOYEItNOIt NOT FRIGHT ENEi).
The governor alluded to throats that
had been made against bis life. One
man, whose namo he knew, had come
here for the avowed purpose of shoot
ing him. He had never for a moment
felt the least concern for his personal
safety. He was not to be frightened.
The people had sent hiui to occupy the
executive mansion and a proposed to
do so and stay there even if he had to
come out as a corpse.
This speech vas ieee'.vcd with uveal
enthusiasm by th assembled soldiery.
At the conclusion of th governor's
speech, Hon. Jobn Gary Evans, state
senator from Aiken county, read gen
eral order No. 10, announcing that
there being no longer any need exist
ing for their services, the troops were
dismissed with thanks of their commander-in-chief
for their prompt re
sponse to his call
WHITE WINGED PEACE.
Charleston, S. C, April 3 The
news that Governor Tillman assumed
control of the municipal police
in every town in the st.ito was
received here tonight. There is
do law in this state which will
authorize the governor to do this,
but there is very little doubt that
he will make the attempt. He tried to
get a law passed at the last session of
the legislnture placing tbe Charleston
police under the state control, but for
some reason the legislature failed to
pass it. The chief of police of this city
it said to bn a warm friend and poli
tical partisan of Tillman.
There is not a word of truth in the
report that a dispensary here has been
blown up by dynamite. This city is
absolutely quiet. There is no disorder,
no crow Is, no constables, nothing but
white winged peace.
TROUBLE IS ANTICIPATED.
Uniontown Strikers Purchase Quantities
of Ammunition.
Uniontown, April 3. Sheriff Wil
helm reports the coke region quiet to
night. Many of the mob wnich en
gaged in today's raids are attending; a
meeting here tonight. The strikers
have served notice of a boycott on the
Connellsville Brewing firm, because
their source of supply of beer has been
cut off since the strike began.
Today the company stores of the
region shut off the supply of goods to
all known as strikers, aud many thou
sands are now on their own resources
for food aud clothing, which they
freely admit is limited. But few
plants uorth of Connellsville are in
operation tonight. Those remaining
in blast are owned by tbe Frick Coke
company. The latter company say
they will furnish all the tunris neces
sary to pay sheriffs to protect their
property and men.
Sheriff Wilhelm says he can furnish
any number needed. If deputies shall
not prove sufficient protection, the
military will be asked. The foreigners
in this city are known to havo pur
cbiised large supplies of ammunition
today, and from this it is taken that
they mean trouble.
At 11 o'clock tonight a large bod v of
n.;V. F ....... U - .1 .. J a
on in- in uuui ,UD HUUtUrtll tIJU Ul bUB
region, passed through Uniontown.
nroute to tbe Oliver plant, where the
company will, tomorrow, attempt
to draw 1,500 tons of coke left
in the ovens when the strike
began. The mob was armed with guns,
clnbs, revolvers, iron bars and all
manner of weapons. That there will
be a battle is certain, if an attempt is
made to draw the burning coke. Six
teen deputies are stationed at Oliver.

MADELINE A SPITFIRE.
The Letters from the Colonel to Miss
Pollard Copied by a
Typewriter.
Washington, April 3 Colonel
Breckinri lge and Miss Pollard were
both on the stand today and both gave
testimony relating to the alleged letter
which the plsintiff claims was written
to her in 18tj5. This is the letter al-
eged to begin ''My Dear Sister
Louise," and by which the plain
tiff's counsel seek to impeach
the testimony of the defendant.
Today, after a hard legal fight, the
plaintiff's attorneys succeeded in plac
ing on the stand Mrs. Louise Howell,
who testified that while a typewriter
at tbe capitol in 1880. she had copied a
letter written by Colonel Breckinridge
addressed '"My Danr Sister Louise."
and that she had indorsed numerous
envelopes for him with the name "Miss
Pollard, Bo North Upper street, Lex
ington, Ky. "
Miss Pollard also took the stand and
testified that Colonel Breckinridge fre
quently sent her letters while she was
in Lexington and he in Washington.
Tbey were all typewritten, she snid,
and in them s!ie wns addressed by vari
ous titles, such as "My Doar Spitfire"
and "My Daar Louise." Colonel Breck
inridge denied that Mrs. Lowell had
ever copied for him uuy such letter as
that she described or that she had ad
dressed envelopes for him with the
name Pollard, although he acknowl
edged that Mrs. Lowell had written
letters for him.
Most of tho day was taken up In this
testimony and in arguuiuut. There
was nothing sensational The testi
mony of Colonel Breckinridge at the
aftornoon session dragged at times
Coionel Breckiuridge will again take
tbe stand tomorrow and, according to u
statement made by Judge. Wilson at
adjournment, he will be examined on a
