C., June 25.—The whole of Charleston was agog yesterday to hear and see everything possible connectel with the trial of Dr. T. B. McDow for the killing of Capt. F. W. Dawson in March last. About the only thing of a sensational character that they heard was from Policeman Gordon, who testified as to hearing a heavy weight, like a sack of corn or roll of carpet, being dragged over the floor of Dr. McDow's office before the doctor surrendered himself on the afternoon of the killing. Another rather startling statement by Gordon was that Dr. McDow opened his office door and peeped out enough to see him, then closed the door again, before be came out an hour later and surrendered himself.

In the second place, the pope would forward his instructions to Archbishop Feeban, and not to The Standard. It is not certain who is responsible for the death of Dr. Cronin, but it is certain that the Clan-na- Gael is innocent of it. It is suspected that he was killed by a small clique of men who were his personal enemies, though this is not definitely known. The Clan-na-Gael has never committed any criminal acts.

As it was, the fire caused a veritable panic in the immediate neighborhood, as it enveloped one hou36 after another in rapid succession. One of the abandoned houses had been a hardware store, and the explosion of a keg of powder in it sent Jhe burning roof flying in fragments, thus increasing the danger. Men were put to work smothering the bonfires that stretched across the open space with earth, and in this manner cut off the fire's line of communication to the threatened buildings, whose occupants were already moving the remnants of their furniture. This banking of the bonfires with earth and the veering of the wind, so that the burning embers were carried into Stony creek, ended the danger in this direction. JVlUSliIJSi UflDE^WEflt^.

There seems to be some apprehension on the part of whites and some ill will on the part of Indians, partly liecause of the accidental killing of one of their number last winter by a whit1 man and partly because they still think they have some title to the land hereabouts, but there is no danger of an outbreak.
