EFFORT TO SECURE CHANCE OF TENUE ATTUJlnElS rUK 1ALLAWS AND TAYLOR MAKE APPLICATION. NEW QUESTON !S RAISED JUDGE DANTZLER, HOWEVER, RESERVES HIS DECISION, DESIRING TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE MATTER. Orangeburg. July 2:5 ?A very novel and interesting qucston was raised before Judge Charles 0?. Dant/.ler al chambers here this afternoon, under liabeas corpus proceedings brought by E. F. Stroth^r or Bateshurg and J. William Tliurman of EdgefielJ in the interest of their clients who are de luuuiims cuargeu witn tne Killing 01 George W. Mabus, near Batesburg several weeks ago. I*, appears that Mabus was wounded in Aiken county and died from the effects therefore In Lexington county. The coroner's inquest was held in Lex inirton Countv and aa n r.^culh turn Pal law brothers were held as principals. and another Pallaw brother and a yo.inR nun by the name of Taylor as accessories. These defendants were committed to and are now in jail at Lexington and Solicitor Timmerman has been preparing for the prosecution but the attorneys for the defense insisted that the case he tried in Aiken county, where the oll'ense wai committed. It appears Lint the constitution of ltk>8 made tw provision for such cases and in 1880 the legislature passed an act prqvidipg tha". wlien a original Jurisdiction, upon a proper ' showing' supported by affidavit, that a fair and impartial trial can not be had in the county where such action or prosecution was commenced: The State shall have the same right to move for a change, of venue that a defendant has for such offences as the general assembly may prescribe. Unless a change or venue be had under ] the provisions of this article the defendant shall be tried in the county where th3 offense was cominlted: Provided' however' Tnat no change of venue shall be granted in criminal ^ eases until after a true bill has been found by the grand jury; and provided further, that if a change be ordered it shall be to a couny in the sxme ju J dioial circuit.." OCEAN HORROR TOLD OF BY VIC MB. San Francisco, July 23.?Tlic steamer Pomona, from Eureka, boleived to have on board some of the survivors of 1 the wrecked Columbia, is entering the harbor and will soon reach her dock. 1 Number of Dead not Known. The exact number will not he known until complete accounts arc brought in from Hryccland and shelter Cove. 1' is ' known that of 188 passengers reported by the company as sailing on the Co- ' lumbia, W7 were saved by the Geo. W. ' E'der, which towed the Pedro into Eureka, There were sixty In the crew of the Columbia, and of these 36 were 011 tlie Elder. Reports from Shelter Cove announce the arrival of one boat with 10 more passengers and crew, leaving the total death roll at os.

On account of a dispute lietwcen the :on test ants in tlie race tlie purse was hold up and yesterday a committee if arbitration was selected to adjust the matter. Messrs. J. W. Bauer, waiter i. ureen una nr. r;. t;. mcfirebar were selected as arbiters. Last night a meeting was held at McGregor's drug shore, at which the gentleman selected to settle the dispute heard statements from parties to the controversy. According to Mr. William Watson, there was a violation of the articles 3f agreement orally made between the contestants, in that Mr. S. B. MeMaster drove the Ford machine a part of Llie wav. rolievlnir the strain nnon the 1 river agreed upo.i, Mr. John F. Jacob?. Mr Watson declared that there was a well understood agreetnent between the parties who were ondiieting the race that only one man should drive each machine fnm Coumbiato Augusta. He stated that M> .lenklns kept the agreement and, ilthough latigued by the long run, 1 that time and as we see it the follow- , I inn: rules must govern the wav', When no other Is named the stakeholder becomes the referee. rihe referee or stakeholder must ba informed of all the conditions of the bet and must make the award according to the couditious. When conditions have b en changed and lie is informed by one party lie must be informed by the other party also. From this it follows that a condition to binding must be acquiesced in by both parties to the wager and the referee or stakeholder must be informed of its terms. The condition claimed by Mr. Wat son and Mr. Jenkins that one driver should complete tire race was not acceded to by Hollinand was not communicated to the stakeholder; the akreementby Mr. McMaster who drove Mr. llollia's car was not binding on I Mr. Hullln and can not be considered by us. While Mr. Watson and Mr. Jenkins , under their agreement with Mr. McMast Af. Qrn incl iAnrl in f r?fvolf l/\?? I yet as Mr. McMaster ouly occupiedthe position of driver of Mr. Boilin's car and had no authority either expressed or implied to make Condition govern iuK uuo race we are or opinion that iheir position is uotsustained. It oeing agreed that the Ford ear i reached the goa 1 before the Rio with out violating any of the conditions ek pressed to the referee, then in our opinion the wager under its terms must be turned over to Mr. Uollin.
