OiMs niul Hntls of Tolo rapli News Received From tlio State I'olnts niul From tlio OiitHldo World. * IlurKlnrs nt U'ork. Pirrsnuno , March 12. McClellnhdtown , twolvn mlles from Unlontowi , In Fayotto county , was terrorized lait night by a party of nrmcd masked rpbbers , who entered n number of houses ntul nftor torturing the In mates until they gave up up whatever money was In their possession , ransacked the houses from cellnr to irarrot. The first liouso entered was that of n farmer named .Anderson. The robbers demanded Ander son's money , mid upon protesting that ho had none , placed hot coals to his feet and compelled him to glvo them ? ' )0 ) , all the money ho hud. The next place visited was fanner Lilly's , n short distance from Ander son's. The old man said ho had no money , nnd the desperadoes tied htm In bed , and aut flro to It. Lilly bcRgcd for mercy , and finally puvo the robbers $130. IIo was then unbound and the lire extinguished.

The su preme court this morning decided In the Goff- Wllson gubernatorial mandamus case that Governor Wilson is entitled to hold over until Buch time as the contest between TTleming and Goff shall have boon settled. The fight will now bo between Wilson and Carr on quo warranto proceedings. The opinion of the court was In no sense a surprise to anybody , botli republicans and democrats anticipating the action of the court. An interesting phase nf the situation , nnd which is much commented upon this even ing , is that Governor Wilson has the situa tion fully under his own control at present , except so far as he may ho bothered by the legal proceedings instituted by President Cnrr. "uy fulling to call the legislature together Wilson will remain nt the helm Indefinitely , or until the action of tlio new legislature , and Is thus enabled to thoroughly protect the claims of .hulgo Fleming against General Go IT. In tothcr words , if GofT has a case , \Vllson , by refusing to call the legislature , can keep him out for two years to como , un less the federal authorities Interfere. The Carr proceedings will bo taken up at once by , the court , but when an opinion will be had is very unccitain. ItccnrdH oCtho Nominees. ON , March 12. John A.

[ Special to Tun Ouster county people nro getting very much worked up over the bill requiring a hrco-flfths vote to divide n county. As nU ready explained In Tun Unn , Cuatcr Is about forty-eight by fifty-four miles In 8lz < v and sonio of Its people hnvo to travel 103 miles to fctto Urokcn Bow , the county scat. Many of them want to divide Ouster into four now counties , nnd two imaginary lines have al ready been drawn that would cut Urokcn Jew into four pieces like a quartered plo , to which the would'bo stuto capital objects ns a matter of course. The bill was n tlio interest of Holt county , which has had several county scat lights , but concerns several others. It msscd the house bv n bare majority , and n lolcgation of dlvislonists have como down from Uustcr to head It off. They are J. Wood Smith , democratic cundlda.o ( for senator last Tall ! Prof. Scott , M. Schnarongcr and James Ueurdsloy , nil of Callawav. Senator Lindsay questions the constitu tionality of the measure. If enacted. The constitution has n provision that "nq.county shall bo divided , or have any stricken there from without ilrst submitting the question tea a vote of the people of the county , nor unless a majority of all the legal voters of the county voting on the question shall vote for the samo. The presumption is that the framcra of the constitution contemplated a majority vote nnd that only. The senator is of the opinion that a mandamus would knock out the proposed law if proportion to divldo a county should receive a majority but not three-fifths of the votes cast. A related bill causing considerable discus sion Is ono providing for putting a county scut on wheels and starting it towards the center of the county. On petition of a ma jority of the electors nn election must bo or dered. It is explained that the established county scat must have u majority of the votes to retain its eapitnlshlp , and the effect of the bill , it is asserted , will bo this : If no pluco receive n majority tlio voting may bo repeated indefinitely , and no place may bo certain of holding the prize very long. The bill is aid to be in the interest of Orleans , which wants to take the llarlun county scut from Alum. I'liinnlnfj'H Insurance 15111.

CHAUI.CSTON , S C. , March 12. Captain F. W. Dawson , editor of the News and Courier , nnd agent of the Associated press In this city , was murdered this afternoon by T. H.

Three hours later ho surrendered himself to the police author ities , and the body ot the murdered man was found lying in McDow's olllco.
