The decorations in all of the rooms were attractive, but in the room ot* Miss McLean, the principal of the primary department, the black ?x>ards were works of art. Miss Mc? Lean, who is an artist of talent, had -covered the blackboards with free hand colored crayon drawings typical of the season.

Tuesday afternoon at 6.20 o'clock Col. Thomas V. Walsh, one of Sum? ter's oldest and most respected citi? zens, died at his home on Kendrick street, after an illness of several weeks. Col. Walsh's death was hy no means unexpected as he had been in failing health for some time past. Thomas Var dell Walsh was born April 12, 1833, at Charleston, being of Scotch-Irish and French descent. He attended Mount Zion school at Winnsboro and the High School of Charleston. On June 24, IS52, he married Miss Ellen Jane David. In early life Col. Walsh kept books and was engaged in the railroad business. He entered the Confederate army in ISSI, Captain of Company A, Cav? alry, Holcombe Legion. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the above* regiment. On account of ill health he was assigned to conscript service, in which he was actively en? gaged until the war closed. After the close of the war, Col. Walsh was en? gaged in the mercantile business in Sumter, which he continued until 1876, when he was appointed trial justice. Col. Walsh was judge of probate for the county for 27 years, having held this office at the time bf his death. This fact alone shows hov/* highly Col. Walsh was regarded by his fellow citizens. He was a tried citizen and public servant, and his death is a- severe blow to the community. He is survived by his wife and nine sons and daughters as follows: Messrs. Bartow and T. V. Walsh, Jr., of this city;. C. T. Walsh, of Texas, Mrs. B. P. Cuttino, Mrs. C. H. Single? ton, Mrs. Harry Hoyt, Mrs. B. M. Lebby and Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, all of this city. The funeral will be held at the cemetery at 4 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. C. C. Brown conducting the ser? vices. The carriages will leave CoL Walsh's late residence at 3.30 o'clock. The funeral services will be held under the Masonic rites, Col. Walsh h ving been a prominent member of this order. At one time he was wor? shipful master of Claremont Lodge,. Xo. 64 A. F. M. Christinas Quiet Here. Christmas was observed more quiet? ly here Tuesday than in previous years. Save for a few affairs of a private nature there were scarcely any observance;? to speak of. In the churches special services were held and these were attended by the faithful. Xeariy all of the stores were closed for the day together with the banks and public offices. The day came as a relief to the business men after the hard work of Christmas eve. The small boys were out with firecrackers and other fireworks, b*it not to the usual extent. Altogether, the day was one of the quietest of a like nature within the memory of Sumter citize? s. A Small Fire. Tuesday about midday a few bales of cotton stored on the Atlantic Coast Line platform were observed to be on fire. An alarm vas sent in and the blaze was quickly extinguished after the arrival of the hose wagons. A young man of this city yesterday playfully aimed a pistol at a negro porter and finally decided to fire it. The pistol was loaded with a blank cartridge, the wad of which, together with the powder, made a painful though not serious, wound in the ne? gro's leg. It goes to the root of disease, in? vigorates, strengthens, exhilerates. Its life-producing properties are not con? tained in any other known' remedy. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

Of this amount fully $200,000 has already been expended in the vast preliminary preparation for the fight to be made to save Thaw from the electric chair and the madhouse. A world-wide search has been con? ducted for every scrap of corrobora? tive evidence that will tend to show justification for Thaw's deed. Besides evidence of the sort that may acquit the young Pittsburg millionaire on the ground of justifiable homicide through the "unwritten law," hun? dreds of affidavits has been secured from persons on both sides of the ocean to support a plea of insanity. Detective bureaus in Europe and throughout the United States are at work in an exhaustive search for evi? dence. Great law firms are receiving large fees for private Investigation and ad? vice. Special agents have been sent by Clifford W. Hartridge, the chief counsel for Thaw, to every quarter of the gk be. The cable has been -used with a prodigal disregard of expense, and the preparation for the murder trial is being manipulated like some great business concern. The centre of .all this activity is, of course, the offices of Hartridge & Peabody, the two youthful friends of Thaw, who are acting as his chief le? gal advisers. Mail pours in daily from every part of the world. There Delphin Michael Delmas, the Napoleon of the Californa bar, who is said to have received a $100,000 fee to devote his great abilities to the Thaw case, is in daily consultation with Hartridge.-New York Ameri? can.
