Tbe great event, or series of events, in the social and literary circles of Sumter, the com mesc-ment exercises of the Sumter Institute will corns off during tbe week in June begin? ning on the 9th of that month. The art re? ception will be held ou Monday evening, the concert on Tuesday evening, the com? mencement exercises proper, tbe oration by Hon. J. P. K. Bryan, tbe salutatory and valedictory address by representatives of tbe class and the awarding of diplomas on the evening of Wednesday, and the reception by the Alumnae on Thursday evening. Hou. J. P. K. Bryan, the commencement orator for this year is a finished scholar, and if we take the compositions of the young ladies read on tbe occasion of class day entertainment last Thursday as fair specimens, the salutatory aud valedictory of this com? mencement will be well worth hearing. Tbe work of the college for the year now closing ha? been unusually successful. A New Club. Tbe secret has leaked out that a new club, witb Mr. John Keels, as President, Mr. L. M. Rembert. vice-President, and Mr. E. R. Richardson, Secretary, (we bave not beard that ii hts a Treasurer,) bas been organized in this city. What may be the object of this organiza? tion separate and distinct from the old Sumter Democratic Club, is beyond our power even to conjecture. If this separation from tbe mother club be a bolt, it is witbout reason or cause. We have learned that Mr. Rembert, like Major;Coil, bas refused to be "suggested" for second place and resigned. We hope the club may be able to supply bis place from the excellent material at band. We bare not beard that the club bas enunciated any platform of principles antagonistic to those of the mother club. If they have-they keep these principles in the dark-no paper bas published them. Don't be selfish or reticent gentlemen, bot speak out and let us know what your principles and aims are. Well Done.

A few minutes before that hour Chief Weeks passed down Main street by the corner of Main and Repub? lican, accompanied by a party of fifteen or twenty colored people who had been at a band practice. They discovered nothing un? usual in the appearance of things at that corner. A few miuutes later Policeman Spann went to Reid's store and rinding no light in tbat building made a careful inspec? tion of ?be rear of the premise*, examining the store of Muller and others as well. He found nothing to excite alarm, bu^ on the contrary everything was wrapt in profound darkness and silence. He returned and re? ported to Weeks, and while talking together they both beard a noise in the direction of Muller's store. Proceeding there to further examine the surroundings, smoke was dis? covered issuing from the rear of the building. Tbe fire was evidently of incendiary origin and set within the building. When discovered the whole interior of the building was Siled with fire and smoke. The alarm was at once sounded and the engines were soon at work, r>ut could not save the wooden buildings, which were totally de? stroyed. The fire was checked at Reid's store, the engine drawing a continuous suppl j of water from a well two blocks away for four hours without intermission. The two stores destroyed were built of pine and occupied by J. J. Muller, harness maker, kc, Mrs. White and Miss Miller, Millinery, and Miss Kennedy, Books and Stationery. Tbe losses are : John Reid, 2 stores, value, $2,500. In? surance, $1,200. J. J. Muller, stock $3,500 Insurance, $2,000.

It is quite the usual thing, for the gradut ing classes of our male colleges to celehre their Class Day, but in the charming entt tainment given at the Sumter Institute ( Thursday last, we enjoyed an intellectu treat as rare as beautiful. At seven o'clock quite a crowd of friem had gathered on the spacious college groun to unite with the class of '90, in celebratii their Class Day. A neatly arranged stage adorned wi flowers, had been erected on the smoo shaven lawn under the arching branches the grand old oaks, and when the thine* maidens in their robes of white marchi with graceful tread to their places in th; "glory of greenness," the sweet May tw light fell over a scene too fair for descriptioi The exercises of the evening opened with tl class history, composed and delivered b Miss Mary Scott. Miss Scott conducted be self most admirably, and richly deserved a the applause she received. Miss Ella Mills as prophetess drew i fairest pictures the future destinies of ht class-mates, giving to each some noble lifi works, showing that as a class they do n( look forward to years of dreamy idlenes.' but to a life of earnest endeavor. The valedictory consisting of an add rt to class-mates, and a tender and toucbin fare-well to chaplains and teachers, ws beautifully rendered by Miss Nonie Harvirj We have before bad occasion to speak c Miss Marvin's unusual histrionic powers, sb quite sustained her reputation as a fine dra matic speaker. Next came the tree planting, quite a nove sight to some of us. The tree-a graceft little live oak was held in its place by Mts Hannah McCutchen, while the remabin twelve young ladies marched slowly around each depositing a shovelful of dirt at it roots till the sturdy little oak lifted it branches in beauty to the sky. Then join ing hands in a mystic circle, they sang thei class song, composed by Miss Eloise Wilson The business of the day was now over and with lightened hearts and smiling face the "sweet girl graduates" that soon will be took their way into the beautifully decoratet and brilliantly lighted parlors of the Institute There with quite a large number of friends they held a reception till 10 o'clock. Th library was converted for the evening into t refreshment room, where cream, ices ant cake were dispensed with lavish hands. mm? i $ ? - Wreck on the A. C. Line. The train No. 51, express, which is sched uied for this city from Columbia at 10 35 P M. was wrecked near Congaree station, abou 14 miles this side of Columbia on Monda) night last. The heavy rains of that night broke th< embankment at that point washing out t chasm about 25 ft in width leaving the raili suspended across it without support. Engineer Lawrence Bissit was making schedule time and did not discover the break untii bis track gave way beneath bim. Th? track, thus suspended, bore the train acros! the chasm, but spreading from the press un derailed the train on this side and hurled ii down the embankment. Conductor Gruber was sitting in the Pull? man Sleeper when it left the track. He was thrown down and bis bead jimmed through the plate glass of the vestibule door, the stove was thrown down upon him and pinned bia to the floor. When rescued it was found that one of his legs was brokeu below tb? knee his nose and forehead split, beside? other bruises. Conductor Bunting of tb? Pullman car bad one leg badly bruised and was otherwise badly handled. The Pullman porter was badly bruised. Albert Gray, white badly b.-uised. In addition nearly every one on board re? ceived some injury. The train is almost a total wreck, and the passengers' escape from death is miraculous. A relief train was sent ont from Florence, passing here about 2 a. m., Tuesday, bearing Drs. Evans of that place and A. J. China, ol this city, together with laborers. Traffic and travel on the road was not interrupted, all trains continuing to run on schedule time, making transfers al the scene of the wreck, until the damage is repaired. Homicide Near Lynchburg.

Since then Wilson has renewed his improper ad? vances to he;-, of which she kept ber husband informed. On February 3d, last, Wilson came to within about seventy yards of Mor? ris' house to meet her by appointment, ol wbich Morris was advised by ber. Morris was lying in ambush at the time and fired upun Wilson, wounding bim in the head, but not seriously.
