McQueen died at ' his home in this city at 3 o'cock yes j terday afternoon after a long illness j following an injury sustained by being mocked down and mn over by a ! wagon on Liberty Street several j months aeo. * Mr. McQueen was a native of this j county, being a son of the late Rev. Donald McQueen, D D., who was for l!orty years the pastor of the Presby? terian Church. He spent his entire life of nearly seventy years, in Sumter, ?md was engaged from early manhood in'teaching. For a number of years he conducted a flourishing high school for boys, and many of our middle aged citizens who were school boys in the years immdiately following the war obtained practically all their educa? tion in Lis school. He was for several vears in the '80s, the principal of the public school of the city, which ante? dated the present graded school sys? tem. When not actively engaged in regular school work in ~the city or county, hs devoted his time to the pr?paration of boys for college, and il; was in this work.that he was most successful, few boys not prepared by him having succeeded in winning a scholarship in the Citadel Academy. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. T. F. Jones, of Geor? gia.

KEFFER.-A great life, because it was a good life, found its beginning on October ll, 1825, when ; Michael Keffer was born in Ligonier town? ship. On Monday morn i og at 8.45 tl? e death angel bore away che soul of him who had lived 78 years. 8 months and 9 days, who had been a husband for 50 years, a loving father for 48 years and a devout, earnest christian foi 60 years and an office bearer, in tho church for about 40 years-a record not padd?d with the mern routine of living and existence, but filled with th? worth and worthiness of * man who had trie*l faithfully to do his duty both to God and to man. It can truly Jbe said of Mr. Keffer that he was "blameless and harm 1*8$, a son of God without rebuke." Meek, gentle and patient, winning io manner and kind in spirit, his use? fulness in the church and in the community was marked. Neighbor? ly ??tuntions where sickness or be? reavement were known or where any help or comfort might be cffered, gave him a warm place in the affec? tions of the community. His life was beautiful-a spirit-filled life-and it made other lives brighter and better. H ir, strongest affections aud sweetest joy3 clustered about bis home life, tn which he was peculiarly fortunate. Through struggle and hardship he labored for his loved ones, triumph? ing over every obstacle, until he had the joy of seeing each child, whom God spared, attaiu its majority in noble manhood or womanhood, and each dedicated to God a loyal mem? ber of Christ's ch'urch, and to day his children '-rise up and call "him blensed." He has lived in this valley of his birth for nearly 79 years, always loved and revered. Ha was a manly man. We all honor, respect and love him. Few men attain to his balance and poise of character. He wa? not eccentric, neither was he diffident nor uninteresting. He at taii;ed to a fuluess of christian virtue rarely seen in a single character. He was meek, humble and wise, but nevar rash. He possessed good executive ability and good common senne, and was therefore a wise coun? sellor. He never boasted of his christian experience, but was always satisfied to put hiR trust in the Loni Jesus Christ, and he succeeded in an unusual degree in livipg the Cbrisc life. He lived, worked and died in the fullness of rho blessing of the eospel of Jesus Christ. The closing years of his spotless, exemplary life were ?rently and beautifully' prepara? tory to a glorious end. His break ing downhams been slow, but con? stant, until within a few days of bis release. When the fact that he must die was made known he faced the inevitable with calmness and forti? tude, and passed into the heavens, leaving behind him a clean, pure record that will be a joy to his friends and an inspiration to the church. H? died in the full assurance of faith and passed into the land of uncloud? ed d.iy. But his presence will live with hi<? friends and loved ones who will not let his memory die. Michael Keffer was born October ll, 1825. died June 20, 1904, aired 78 ye*r*, 8 months and 9 days. He was married by the Rev. Jonas Meehling October 10, 1854, to Maria C. Waugh, who survives him. To them were born eleven children-eight sons and three daughters-Jacob E., of Ligo nier township; Margaret E. Laugh ery, of Ligonier; William Albert, dead ; Catharine Ramsev, Ligonier township; Harry Luther, dead; j Joseph \V\, of New York City ; Alex.

KILLED ON THE RAIL Ellison Henderson Went to Sleep on the Track and Train Cuts Gif His Head. Ellison Henderson, a negro brick mason, was ran over and killed Satur? day ni2ht by the A. C. L. freight train No. 83, while he was lying in drunken sleep on the track near the Cotton Mill. The top of his head was crushed and his right hand cut off just below the wrist. The accident was not known for several hours sub? sequent to the arrval of S3, when the body was discovered lying beside the track, near the small trestle at the junction of the Northwestern Railroad with the Atlantic Coast Line. Coroner Flowers held an. inquest Sunday morning and ascertained the following facts : Hendnerson, who had been working, at Dillon, caine home on the 9.30 pas? senger, Saturday night, but being drunk and asleep did net get off at the depot. The conductor noticed him asleep just after th? train left the depot and awakening him inquired where be was going. Henderson relied that he was going to Sumter. He was told that the train had just left the depot, and he asked to be put off. The conductor informed tiim that he could not back the train to the depot, but would carry him to the next stop, Cane Savannah, without charge. Henderson asked that the train be stopped to let him get off, as he did not want to walk all the way back from Cane Savannah. The tran was stop? ped near the Northwestern Junction and Henderson got off, and as he did so the conductor warned him to look out for the small trestle near which he alighted. The last that the con? do rotor saw of him he was standing beside the track where he got off. It is supposed that he lay down right there with his head and band on the rail and that when S3 came in from Columbia some time later in the night he was run over and killed. Coroner Flowers had the body search? ed and found $16.60 in his pockes, and this sum he turned over to Hender? son's wife this morning. BRUTAL MURDER IN CLARENDON. Robert Struck Waylays Warren Ful more and Shoots Him in the Back. News of a brutal murder in the edge of Clarendon County about nine or ten miles south of here was received Monday- afternoon. The killing, which was a cold blood? ed and brutal affair, was the result of a family row between negroes, Warren Fulmcre, the dead, man, being the father-in-law of his murderer. It seems that Robert Stakes, who mar? ried the daughter of Warren Fulmore, had been living with bis father-in-law, bnt in consequence of a row, had been made to leave the place Monday morn? ing by Fulmore, but in the afternoon he returned and turned Fnlmore's stock but of the lot into the corn field. Then he concealed himself in some bushes beside the road leading from Fulmore's house to the fidel, and when FulRiore passed^ on his way to drive the stock out of the field he shot him in the back with a gun loaded with buck shot Although terribly wound? ed Fuimore lived for two or th re hours after being shot Stukes is said to have left the neighborhood imme? diately find probably will escape ar? rest, as he had a long start Charley Davis a negro boy about fourteen years old was arrested last Wednesday morning while trying to sell set of harness, worth about ten or twelve dollars, for $2. After his arrest it was ascertained that the harness belonged to Boyle's stable and that be stole them from a buggy that wss left under a shed in the stable lot The buggy and harness was "rented Tuesday by George.? Hen ry, a negro, who lives a few miles from town and when he, went to the stable to return them last night it was closed. He put tb em-un? der the shed in the lot and when he returned early next morning to see about it, he found that the harness had been stolen. He went home for the money te pay for the harness, but when he arrived in town prepared to settle with Mr. Boyle be was inform? ed that the thief had been captured and the harness returned to the stable. The heavy rain Wednesday, occurring just as the evening trains arrived at the depot, emphasized the need of a train shed or some better protection for the traveling public than is afford? ed, by the umbrella shed. Pass?ngers alighting from the trains were drench ed before they could reach the depot, or transfer from one train to another. The ground between the tracks and between the "depot and tracks was flooded with water. The umbrella shed is far more ornamental than use? ful and in a driving rain affords no protection at all. But the most seri? ous complaint that the public has against the Atlantic Coast is that ab? solutely no protection is provided for passengers while going from the de? pot to take a train, or, who, alighting from the trains in a rain, must take the rain until they can seek shelter in the depot sixty or more feet dis? tant MORE BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION.
