a? Lives Were Lost.
Ali'''.da, Oregon, Jan. 7.-Leaving
marl. > records strewn with tales of
death and disaster connected with
her career, the Rosecrans, once a
United States army transport, was
lost on Peacock Spit, just beyond the
bar, to-day in a furious gale that
drove her on the rocks.
Thirty-three of her crew of 3<6 per
ished when the ship went under, it is
believed. Three others clung to a
topmast and their death seemed cer
tain.
The Rosecrans cleared from South
ern California points with a crude
oil cargo for Portland, Ore. She en
countered a 60-mile gale to-day as
she stood In toward the bar at the
mouth of the Columbia river. It ls
thought her olllcers lost their bear
ings and the tanker was hurled on
the rocks to pound herself to pieces.
Attempts at rescue were futile.

C. E. O. MITCHELL 18 NO MOUE.
Paused Away Suddenly at His Homo
in Westminster Sunday.
(Tugaloo Tribune, 7th.)
A mantle of sorrow and grief was
spread over Westminster Sunday
when tbe announcement was made
that C. E. O. Mitchell, one of our
town's honored and most highly es
teemed citizens, was dead. He be
came alarmingly ill about 6 o'clock
and medical aid was summoned, mes
sengers being sent in haste for Drs.
Walker, Strickland and Mitchell, but
before the doctors arrived Mr. Mit
chell had passed away. Death was
due to heart failure. Mr. Mitchell
suffered tho pain of two broken ribs
on Christinas Eve, and as he had slept
on his left side so long it is thought
that his heart becar.ie effectod from
pressure. Mr. Mitchell accidentally
fell on the morning of December 24
and suffered internal injuries. He
was Improving rapidly and sat up
some for several days last week. On
Sunday he received several callers
and chatted pleasantly and told his
friends he expected to be on the
streets Monday. The announcement
of his death, therefore, a few hourn
later was a great shock to everybody.
Funeral services were conducted at
his late residence this afternoon at 2
o'clock by Rev. J. J. Payseur, the
new pastor of the Baptist church, and
Rev. L. D. Mitchell, pastor of Cone
loss church, In the presence of a
large concourse of sorrowing rela
tives and friends. At the conclusion
of the services his body was taken to
the cemetery, of the First Baptist
church for Interment, tho bodies of
his parents and one child being bur
ied there.
Mr. Mitchell was born in Abbeville
county, but moved with his parents
to Anderson when a boy. He moved
from Anderson to Oconee 31 years
ago and lived In and near Westmin
ster, where he had been engaged In
farming and merchandising. He was
a man of industry and integrity and
accumulated handsome property In
Westminster and the county.
Being too young to enlist in the
service of his country at the begin
ning of the Civil War, Mr. Mitchell
experienced only about one year of
the hardships of tented life In the
sixties.
Mr. Mitchell was a member of the
Baptist church for almost fifty years,
having united with the Neal Creek
church, near Anderson, under the
pastorate of the late RObert King, a
noted Baptist minister of that sec
tion, 50 years ago. He was one of
the charter members of the New
Westminster Baptist church, organ
ized In the eighties. He was elected
a member of the board of deacons at
the organization of this church, and
ever manifested a deep interest in
church matters and spiritual affairs.
For nearly twenty years he was the
faithful and devoted superintendent
of the Sunday school.
Mr. Mitchell was In his 65th year,
having been born May 1, 1848. He
was twice marted. Hl? first wife
was Ml ? Fannie Ueor, of Anderson,
and to till i om
Mitch? .i was horn. Hlg second wlf<

Mr. Smith leaves a wife, father and
motlier, brothel's and sisters to mourn

Miss Delia Phillips, who has

and threatened pneumonia.
Mrs. Lora Thrift, who had been
suffering a complication of diseases,

leaves a husband and little son, fa
ther and mother and several brothers
and sisters to mourn her death. We
sympathize with them in their be
reavement. The body was laid to
rest the day following at Long Creek
cemetery.
The Christmas tree given by Rev.
and Mrs. M. J. Moore on Christmas
day was a success in every respect.
Rev. L. D. Chambers addressed the
people, his text being Luke 2:10, and
he preached a very interesting ser
mon, after which the presents were
taken from the tree and distributed
among tho people, there being some
thing over three hundred presents.
The Christmas tree was attended by
a large crowd, perfect order prevail
ed and everybody seemed to enjoy
the occasion to the fullest extent, re
turning to their homes rejoicing. Mr.
Carter, photographer, was present
and made a lot of pictures at the
tree.
Miss Frances Moore has Improved
to such an extent that she can walk
out of tho house and Into the yard,
for which she ls very thankful.
The many friends of Rev. M. J.
Moore, who has beon quite lil for a
few days, will be glad to learn that
he ls improving, though still unable
to be out of doors.

MEXICO STILL SUFFERS UNKEST.
Interested in Movement? of United
States-Ne wapa pero Grow Violent?
Mexico City, Jan. 5.-Anticipating
early developments in the relations
between the United Stales and Mex
ico, the keenest Interest was shown
by Mexicans in the return here to
day of the American ambassador,
H. L. Kitson. The ambassador was
bebieged by reporters at Vera Cruz
and on his arrival at tho capital, but
was uncommunicative.
Some of the more sensational
newspapers printed strong criticisms
of the administration, charging In
competency. One paper published
an extra edition late last night ?with
a big caption reading: "Only the res
ignation of the President can save
us." The article set forth that this
demand ls contained In a note which
Ambassador Wilson will soon de
liver.
The administration continues to
assert that tho relations between tho
United States and Mexico aro friend
ly. The Senate, however, has asked
the sub-secretary of relations for a
statement as to the American-Mexi
can status. Tho sub-secretary has
asked for time to prepare the state
ment, for which, however, ho says
there is no reason.
A request of tho Executive that
the 40,000,000 pesos bond Issue re
cently authorized by Congress bo In
creased to 100,000,000 po?08 has not
yet been granted.
Skirmishes between the Federals
end rebels occur almost dally in sev
eral States. Villages are raided and
towns sacked. Many rebels captured
recently have been summarily exe
cuted.
Denial IR made that Francisco Car
ba.lal, President of the Supreme
Corni, has been appointed to succeed
Manuel Calero as ambassador to the
United States. It is generally be
lieved, however, that he will be
named.

CITADEL MAY HAVE CAVALRY.
Hills to Be Introduced to Make Cita
del Eligible for Cavalry.
(News and Courier.)
Cavalry and artillery training at
the Citadel, as well as infantry train
ing, which is now given at the insti
tution, is a possibility If bills soon
to be introduced Into Congress be
come laws. The main purpose of
these bills Is to provide the govern
ment with a means of securing men
who will be flt for the cavalry and
field artillery of the army as well as
the infantry service. The bill af
fects those military schools at which
regular army officers are detailed as
professors of military science and
the students of which have exhibited
such proficiency in military training
as to have obtained the war depart
ment rating of "Class A distinguish
ed." This would render the Citadel,
the Virginia Military Institute and
perhaps half a dozen other schools
in the country eligible.
The record of the Citadel renders
It eligible, of course, and lt is rated
among the "Class A distinguished"
institutions, but the Introduction of
cavalry and artillery Instruction
would necessitate, under the bill, the
furnishing by the schools themselves
of a part of the equipment. Col.
Bond stated that the question whe
ther or not the Citadel would under
take the innovation would havo to
be determined later.

MISS FRANCES HARIUF/r HA III J IC.
Skilful Musician, Scientific Botanist.
Woman of Intense Patriotism.
Died, on the 23d ultimo, at the
home of hor nephew, Ellas Earle, lu
Oconee county, Miss Frances Harriet
Earle.
She was laid to rest on Christmas
Eve in the family burial ground at
the old Beaver'': m plantation, where
sleep three generations of her ances
tors.
The eldest of seven children, she
survived them all and passed away
in her 79th year.
Her father, the late Elias Earle,
removed from his plantation to the
then primitive town of Anderson
when the deceased was but Ave years
of age, and her long lifo was practi
cally identified with that progressive
city.
Called upon while yet in her teens
to assume the head of her father's
housen?ld, she filled the position with
great dignity and stood for all that
was highest and best in her State
and community. She was carefully
and brilliantly educated and was pos
sessed of extraordinary talents,
strength and intellect and force of
character.
Her acquaintance with literature,
powers of conversation and retentive
memory were excelled only by a Mac
aulay, while her literary style was
modeled upon the purity and simplic
ity Of Addison.
She was a skilful musician and a
scientific botanist. With the aid and
under the supervision of the late Dr.
LewiB R. OibbeB, of the College of
' mariecton, she made a collection of
The Flora of Upper Carolina." The
.'owerr wqre exquisitely arranged In
; everp.i volumes, which ft was her
aten don to bequeath to Furman Uni
\ereity, but, unfortunately, they, to
gether with an Invaluable scrap book,
prepared during tho war, were de
stroyed by fire. Such a. loss is Irre
parable.
Miss Earle was intensely patriotic.
Descended from pioneers who were
conspicuous in Bhaping the history of
the State, she felt a deep and per
sonal interest in all that pertained to
Its welfare. Her eiforts In behalf of
the soldiers during the war were not
able. It was largely through his
daughter's Influence that her father
invested a hundred thousand dollars
in Confederate bonds, greatly to the
disgust of his financial advisers.
A blow from which she never re
covered was the death of her bro
ther, Wilton R. Earle. He was killed
at 8 o'clock in tho morning .by the
first shot fired from the famous
"Long Tom" at First Manassas. A
younger brother, Preston, entered
the service at sixteen, was severely
wounded, but fought to the end.
In early life Miss Earle connected
herself with a Baptist church. As
she never did anything by halves, she
threw herself, with all the energy
and enthusiasm of her nature, Into
everything that pertained to the ad
vancement of this denomination. Her
intellect, her wealth and social pres
tige mado her a potential factor in
the wonderful progress of this de
nomination In the up-country.
Of the divine admonition to con
sider the past, "she was ever mind
ful, and, among those who received
her benefactions, there are many to
riso up and call her blessed."
