' I I Col. D. T. Sure Passes Away. Lexington County is again called upon to mourn the death of one of ' her. oldest and mo9t highly respected ; citizens. Col. D. T. Barre, after an illness extending over many months, died peacefully at his home, at Gilbert, late Saturday afternoon.Col. Barre was a brave Confederate soldier, having joined the . army at the beginning of the war, and remaining in service until the close of the I. strife. He was a member of Company F, Palmetto Sharpshooters, Jenkins's L brigade. He was wounded in one of the battles, from which h$ never finally recovered. In early life he married Mis9 Rawl, |g daughter of the late Samuel Rawl, j who, with four daughters 'and one a son, survive* Three sons preceded himttO'tJ& ^One of these, Olin, met a most tragic death in the city of g Columbia many years ago, when Tillman and the late Gee. Wade Hampton met on the fair grounds. Young Barre was helping to manipulate a , cannon for the purpose of having a sham battle, when the bum exploded, killing Barre instantly and .wounaing another young man by the name of Stork. The surviving children are: Mrs. lSdwin Barre, of Laurens; Mrs. Char = lie Livingston, of near Gilbert; Mrs. I James, of lower Richland; Miss Gassie Barre, of Gilbert, and Mr. R. A. Barre, of Gilbert. Col. Barre was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and was active in church affairs. While he never held public office, Col. Barre took a prominent part in all questions pertaining to the betterment of his county and State, and his advice was often sought. His remains were laid to rest Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at Shiloh church, with impressive funeral services by his pastor, the Rev. Mr. Felder, in the presence of a large congregation, composed of hi3 war comrades, relatives and friends. The deceased was about 83 years of i age. Little Tallie Garrei Won Record Cos test.

Chicago, 111, August 15.?Mrs Marii Handzel to-day turned on the gas ii the bath room and committed suicidi and slew her three boy babies. Sh< 3arefully bathed and dressed her thre< children, one 4 years old and twins ! years old and carried them into thi bath room. She then closed the batl room door and turned on the gas. Th< smell of gas awakened her husband He broke open the door of the batl room and found the four dead bodies The twins, wrapped in a quilt, wer< lying in the tub, while the elder bo] was clasped tightly in the mother'! arms. Mrs. Handzel had been ill for some time. She left four other children ranging in age from 6 to 16 years. Negro Hanged. At Georgetown. Georgetown, August 13.?Alfred Jen kins, the negro boy, who wa9 convicted of attempted rape and who has since confessed fully as to his guilt, was hanged to-day at 9.30 o'clock A. iU. Life was pronounced extinct in sixteen minutes. The execution passed off promptly without a hitch. There were about 200 witnesses. The crime was attempted upon the person of a lady school teacher on the Lower' Waccamaw River, on the 17th of June last. A special term of Court was heid on July 27, Judge John S. Wilson presiding, and Jenkins was sentenced to be hanged on August 13. Thns the crime has been expiated on the gallows, the law fully vindicated and the citizenship of Conway, the home of the teacher, and of Georgetown, remains without the awful blot of a lynching, which at one time seemed imminent. * ' Negro Uses Pistol Freely. Nashville, Tenn, August 15.?Tom Harding, a negro, to-day fatally wounded his wife, Mary, shot in the leg Policeman Marshall, who tried to arrest him, and later shot himself in the head, but will probably recover, Previously he fired at another negrc whom he charged with alienating his wife's affections. After wounding the policeman, Harding led his pursuers a long chase, finally dropping from exhaustion and then attempting his owe life. ? ? Silled Large Battler. Mr. H. Dibble George killed a large rattlesnake at his father's mill, neai town a few days ago. The snake was crossing the dam, together with its mate.
