Wm. Briggs, of Summerton, had his house destroyed by fire last Monday evening. Capt. and Mrs.. Briggs were absent at the time and the only persons on the premises were their little daughter and a colored man. The fire is supposed to have origina ted from the kitchen chimney. The little girl suggested to the man the advisability of tearing off the shingles from the roof to pre vent the spreading of the fire, and which might bave had the desired effect but be was afraid '-Captain" might not like it, so the fi?mes rolled on. The bosse and out build ings were insured for about $2,000, bat there is some doubt as to whether it might not have expired. The Observation Party. An Observation Party was given Monday evening by-the Daughters of Israel at the residence of Mrs. Rebecca Moi^e for charitable purposes, admission fee being ten cents. The entertainment consisted in a number of arti cles being placed upon a table and each one of those present were admitted a?d allowed three minutes for observations, and then taken out into an adjoining room and allowed five minutes to write down the number of things observed. The one recording the largest number of observations to receive the prize. Mrs. F. Levi. and Dr. S. C. Baker were the closest observers, having recorded the largest number of observations, and received the prizes. Mr. DeLeon Moses was awarded the booby prize. ??? ' ^mammm Odd Fellows Feest. The Sumter Lodge No. 2173 gave a hot supper last night in ihe Hall recently occupied by the W. $ S. The menu was excellent, consisting of all kinds of. meats, fish, oysters, etc., and the banquet was in every way a complete success and the speeches and good things were enjoyed by all who attend ed It is gratifying to know that the evening was an enjoyable one to those who devote themselves to such useful and meritorious purposes as the order of the odd fellows. We regret that circumstances prevented our acceptance of their kind invitation to be present. Change of Date. The Alberta Gallatin Troupe, which was billed to appear in Music Hall on Friday afternoon and night has been prevented by R. R. misscoonection from meeting the appointment, and has made a new engage ment for this place for the 12th and 13tb February. Miss Gallatin. the SKr of the troupe is a native of Virginia, and is the daughter of the late Albert Gallatin Jenkins, of Confederate fame, who was killed towards the end of the Citil War, near Roanoke, Va. Miss Gallatin bas been on the stage about six vears. and in that time bas appeared with Mme. Janish, and with the Booth-Barrett. Mrs. Bowers and the New York Lyceum Theatre companies This is her third starring tour through the South. Belgian Blocks for Main Street. In the la3t two or three days the streets of . Sumter, especially Main, Liberty and Republi can, bave been in a worse condition thar> we ever remember to have seen them. They are actually a disgrace to the city. Where there are not pools of muddy, slimy water col lected, the mud is, without exaggeration very nearly, and in some places quite, a half e foot deep. This condition of things has been brought about by only two days of rain. The Ctty Council apparently mean well, and have made efforts to relieve the situation, but which lack the important (ssential of t.eing well directed. For instance, a cart or two is sent out and filled with mud from a place in the street where it is so baggy as to be almost impossible to drive through. After carting off several loads the rain fills up the cavity, and an ugly puddle is the result. Then a batch of bauds is sent out with shove 9 anil spades who shovel up the mud from the sides, and throw it into th* middle of the street, where a perfect blockade is formed for wayfarers to drive or walk throuh. The city expends large amounts of money in these apparently utterly futilw attempts to improve the condition of the streets From April '89 to April '90 the city spent $1,853.34 in work on the streets, and up to 1st Jtuuary, 1891, they have paid out $1,965 60. We believe the City Council are interested in devising a plau by which this ex crescence on the growth of Sumter can be removed. They want encouragement and backing up by the peon'e. We were discussing the matter a day or sc ago with one of the best niechinics in the State. Be say s by all means the principal streets should be paved with Belgian blocks. The cost baa been estimated to be just about $5,100 a mile. A trifling sum, when we take into consideration the advantages that will follow. It will give clean, hard streets all the year round, that will neither be dusty in dry weather nor muddy in wet. If all the principal streets cannot be paved, at this time, ia Ibis way, then pave, say only three quar'ers of a mile of Main street from the A. C. L. depot to Calho-Ti street. This would- cost very little over $3,000, and the \ amounts expended in work upon this portion j of Ma:n street alone would, if accumulated for ten years, settle the debt, if j necessary to con?ract'it, principnl and inter- j est, and there would be left a surplus over. Another advantage is that the amount ex- i pended -oil curbing the sidewalk whh plank, ' which has to oe replaced from time to time, could be saved by curbing with the blocks at ; the same time they are laid.

No developements of material importance have taken place in the Maxcy case except that last week the two prisoners, Hampton Nelson and Centry Butler sent for Sheriff Car son and it was understood they wanted to make a confession. They stated in the presence of the Sheriff, Trial Justice and another witness that a colored man from Capt. Maxcy's neighborhood, who ran away because he had been indicted by Mexey for some criminal offense sometime before Christ mas came across a field in which they were working with a gun on his shoulder and asked where that fellow Maxcy was. said they had bad trouble and he was going to kill him. Last Saturday Hampton Nelson made the following statement to the Sheriff of his own .free will : Centry Butler rode Captain Maxcy'a horse on Christmas day and when he came back the horse seemed to be foundered and Captain Maxcy said to Centry. Centry you will have to work a year for me to. pay for hotting my horse, and on tbelnst day -of December Gentry told me [Hampton Nelson] that be would kill him [Captain Maxcy] before he would work the year out with him, and moreover Captain Maxcy told me he would be glad when the year would come to a close in order that he might get rid of Cen try as he was afraid all the time JCentry might do him some bodily harm. I have been working with Captain Maxcy about eight years and never had any Tuss with him. Dunn Departs. J. F. Dann, of the St. Paul lumber camp, who vas bound over before the Trial Justice here, about Christmas time, for breaking into the ticket office at the C. S & N. R. R. depot, escaped from Sheriff Carson and C. P. Bar wick; as they were taking him to jail lust night. At the lime of the hearing Dunn was committed to j-iil in default of bail, where he remained an til Capt. A. N. Webb, of the lum ber camp, arranged about three weeks ago to go on his bond. Fearing, from some cause, that Dunn would not stand his trial, Mr. Webb telegraphed the Clerk of Court yester day thai be would be here last night to de liver up Dunn and get his release. The Sher iff was at home when he received a message, about 9 o'clock last night, that Webb and Dunn were at his office. Mr. Webo had evi dently not informed Dunn of bis purpose and was entertaining him at some restaurant, when the Sheriff came up, and when Webb told the Sheriff to t-tke his prisoner, Dunn was very much surprised. He. however, went along apparently so willingly with the Sheriff that he didn't think it necessary tb handcuff him, but called Mr. C. P. Barwick, one of the policemen, to accompany them to the jail. They went along very serenely until thej were about to turn the corner at Craig'*, when Dunn took leg bail and went off at a great pace up Main Street. Mr. Barwick having a pair of good long leg? put out in hot pursuit closely followed by the Sheriff, and they pursued him beyond the Institute. As they reached this point the prisoner began to distance them. The Sheriff called in vain to Barwick to fire and be attempted to run a little to one side in order, himself, to get a crack at Dunn, but Barwick's overcoat bad become unbuttoned, and spreading to the breeze, afforded a friendly cover not only for himself, but Mr. Dunn?as the Sheriff, not knowing at what point in the overcoat the body of Mr. Barwick might be, prudently re frained from opening fire. It is as well be did not fire on him as the evidence failed to show any felonious intent and could only be presumed from the circumstances. As Dunn got a check cashed here it is likaly he will at tempt to make his way North. He is a young man of medium height, with dark hair and blue eves, of slender build, weighing about 130 pounds. v The Sheriff says he has seen many Yankees run in bis time, but Dunn "takes the cake." He has taken all possible precautions to secure bis arrest. -~^^--?-?-?? 9Mm A Model Dairy. Mr. Bult man's dairy farm is a credit to Sumter. In addition to Somter's fine poul try, horses, etc., she can boast of some of the finest cows in the State. The dairy is con ducted in a most systematic and orderly style, and it is a real pleasure to go through it. The long line of steiis on one side of the barn are neatly floored and kept broom clean. The rack in each stall is filled with sweet hay. Each cow is milked in the break while eating her tub of slops which is placed there in readiness. When through being milked, she goes out and proceeds of her own accord to her separate .stall, making room for another, and so on until the whole thirteen are miiked. "Opposite the milking place to the same large barn, is the store-room where the grain is kept, and the feed room where the slops are prepared, and in front of the barn is the cool little dairy or milk room. Mr. Herman Bultman has the management and charge of the dairy, and has made quite a success of it, supplying a large number of families in the city with milk. Most of their cows are Holsteins, which are generally considered the best milkers. The Fields .Minstrels Al. Field's Minstrels, winch were at the Grand Opera House last night, gave the liest minstrel show that has been in Charleston this season. All of the specialties are first-class. Billy Van made a bigger "hit" last night than any burnt-cot k artist that has been in Charleston for several years. Estus' act, too, was very fine, as also was the statuesque clog dance. What impresses one most about Fields minstrels is the absolute new ness of all of them, the stereotyped first part, with end and middle man attachment, being entirety done away with. v There will be a matinee this after uoon at3 o'clock, and the final per formance to-night. It is a good show, and weil worth, seeing.?The World, Charleston, S-C., January 23, 1890. Our citizens will remember that the above troupe delighted the Sumter public last season. It is strictly a first-class performance and we bespeak a large house. Manager Schwerin has done well in securing this troupe. Re member the date February 7th for Sumter. ? lui ? ? ? ? Ionia Items.
