In the abunca of any positive knowledge,
it ia 511 that Capt. Dawson went in

The city is in mourning over the death of

viewed it, and adjourned until today. There
are thrmts of lynching the murderer, who
was hurried to the jail as won as the crime

one, and could hardly be taken by 11 limb.
The city council was in seaxion, but adjourned

Capt. Dawson's ('arecr.
Capt. F. W. Dawson was about :31; years of
age, He was born in England. coming to
this country shortly before the breaking out

the Confederate army as a ]1l‘i\':\l0,lillll for
bravery on the field was prmnoted to a lien-
tenancy and later was made captain.
After the close of the war he settled in
Charleston and got control of The News and
Courier. Though an exceedingly mililman
in apperu‘auce and speech, he was a very
vigorous and pimgeut writer. Throughhis
management The News and Courier became
the leading paper of South Carolina, and
500“ became known as one of the nblest
edited and best paying journals in the south.
Mr. Dawson was a powor in South Caro-
that politics lie was a Democratic presi-
dential elector in 1850, ISM and I3“, and had
[anode-tired might have had any political
office in the gift of the people of his state.
He became interested in railroads, and did
much to build up that branch of industry in
the moth.
He was a well known figure in New York,
visiting there three or four times yearly.
Healways stopped at the New York hotel.
Every one about the hotel who heard of his
murder last night exprmxcd great sorrow
and surprise. lie was there aboutnmnnth

days
Mnyanson‘s work during the earthquake

city. They looked after the distribution of
provisions and supplies, and directed the
work of providing shelter for the homeless.
