VERNEN KILLS HIMSELF. Matter of Equity of Greenville County End? Ni? Lift With Shotgun. D. P. Verner, Master in Equity for Greenville county, committed suicido at his residence near Green ville at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, using a double-barrel shotgun. No one was present at the time. Mrs. Verner had left the room only a few moments before, and was in another part of tho house when she heard the explosion. Hurrying to the room, she found Judge Vernor's body lying on the bed with tho weapon resting on the floor. The upper part of the skull had been torn away and death ia supposed to have been instants neous. For several months Judge Vernor had been in failing health, and it ia thought that in a fit of depression, oaused by his physical coudition, ho determined to take his own lifo. No note, or anything explaining any de sire to commit suicide, has been found. When Mrs. Verner left the room she had olosed the blinds, hop ing that Mr. Verner would be able to sloop until later in the morning, as he had been suffering of late with insomnia. He was apparently rest ing quietly. The gun, which Judge Verner used to take his own life, was resting in a corner of the room, where it had stood without having been discharged for many years. From the way the shot took effeot, it is supposed that he got up, took the gun from ita place, ano! seating himself on the edge of the bed, placed the gun between his feet with the mu/./.le against the forehead, and pulled the trigger. Judge Verner spent Tuesday in the city and at his oflioe, as waa his onstom. Though unwell he seemed to be no worse than usual, and the announcement of bis death yesterday morning was a shock to his numerous friends and acquaintances throughout the city. David Potigru Verner was a native of Oconee county, but removed to this city more than twenty years ago. Here he began the practice of law and in 1887 1-n~ Minto of Greenville oounj^3?^n Equity con^j^^?i??^?which office he ..?<f\t to hold until his death, te was regarded as one of the best dlice lawyers in this part of tho Hate. During the seventeen years ,hat he disposed of the duties of Master, hundreds of caaes passed through his office. His legal opin ions were strong, vigorous and accu rate. Rarely die* the higher courts reverse his findings of fact and law. In speaking of him yesterday, one of the lawyers at this bar said that Judge Verner never failed to show a great deal of study and learning in his decisions, but more than that ho isplayed much that was good com mon sense. He was generally admired by all who knew him, and all of his ac quaintances were his friends. He was at all times a dignified, courte ous gentleman, ever regardful of the feeling of others. These admirable qualities, and his splendid ability, gave him such a hold on the people of the community that he never mel with opposition for the office ol Master. The Verner family has been promi nent for many years. J. S. Vernei Masterin Equity for Richland count} is a brother of the late Judge Vernei and Rev. Phillips Verner, a note missionary of Africa, is a nephew. Judge Verner leaves survivin him, his wife and two daughter Mrs. Reuben Moorman, of Jacksoi ville, Fla., and Miss Emily Verm of tbiscity. Besides Master Vern? o'* Columbia, there are four survi Mg brothers : Robert S. Verner, Oconeo ; Luke W. Verner, of Senec Charlea Verner, of Alabama, a Ebenezer E. Vernor, of Ocoi county, and several married sistt His mother, Mrs. Emily Verner, t survives, and two aunts, Mrs. i Hawthorne and Mrs. A. P. Farr, thia city. Judge Verner waa quite fifty years of ago.

The marriage took place at tho home of the bride on Greenville street. Owing to the reoent bereavement in the family only a few relatives and friends were present. Decorations consisted oniy of a few ohoioe roses, arranged throughout the house in tall vases, which added much to the sweet simplicity of this occasion.

CITY OF Creal Bridge-Slr Walter Scott's Monument. Edinburgh Castle Holyrood Palace, Home of John Knox. [Correspondence Koo wee Courier.] Liverpool, England, July 1.-As Glasgow is the oommeroial capital of Scotland, so Edinburgh is the lite ra ry capital ; and it is also the Veal oapital. It ia very different 'from Glasgow. As we rode ovor the oity we had a fine opportunity to see the beauty of the place. Glasgow re sembleB one of our bustling and huB tling oities of Arnerioa ; but in Edin burgh you can almost feel tho ihflu enoe of the literary aud olassioal at mosphere, with its olean and beauti ful streets. All of Edinburgh, how ever, is not thus, for the old part of the town has a dirty and poverty stricken appearance But taken alto gether the oity make., a pleasant un pression on oue's mind. Here are many schools of learning and here many great and able men have lived. From this fountain of learning many streams of influence have gone out into all the world. Hore IB the great university whioh bas thousands of students, and there are other institutions of learning oif less note. This oity is located on the Forth river and has about 300, 000 inhabitants. AB we entered Edinburgh we crossed over the Forth river on the magnificent bridge whioh spans the river and which ia such a splendid and enduring monument to the mechanical and engineering skill of man. This ia one of the great bridges of the world and was erected at a cost of nearly four and a-half million dollars and was opened to traffio in 1897. There are BO many things of inter est in this city that it is diflioult to know what to say and what not to say in a letter like this, for only a Bmall portion can be covered. One feels like he is overwhelmed and sub merged in the stream of history in Edinburgh. So many prominent personages have lived here and so many events of a oritioal character have occurred here, that we who have been here for the first time feel like we are living in the past, in the midst of the orises in human history. We" are stopping at the Royal Hotel, one of the best in the oity. By the way, the hotel accommoda tiona in this country arc superb-the service ia extraordinary and the fare aa good aa one should want. But there is one abominable oustom over this way, whioh is a constant menace to one, the resource" *j?\',.. ""Afc pocketbook .?re limited, and that f? the miserable custom of tipping those who wait on you. You know what it costs to get into a hotel or a place like this; but you don't know what it is going to cost you to get out. It is even worse, they say, over on the continent. I have been told that waiters in some of the big hotels over there will give large sums for their position. This buaineBS of tip ping begins on the ateamer which bringa you over the ocean and it doean't stop till you get back to America. Our hotel ?B on Princess street, tyo of the most important streets ir the city. The ground opposite oui notel and for some distance on th? JI other side has no houses on it, but i 1 taken up with beautiful and exqni Bite flower gardens. On thia groun 18 I ia the commanding monument to Si .

So the chanel WAA hnilt. over 800 years ago. As one goes into the buildings which are hoary with age, he feels like Araorica is an infant. Of course, all of these buildings are made of rook, and no doubt will be intact a thousand years hence, if the world stands that long. We also went into the Royal Palace in the castle, the stronghold of the kings and queens of Scotland for oenturies. The Crown Room in this palaoe con tai.is the anoient regalia of Scotland, consisting of crown, scepter and sword of State. The orown is sup posed to be as old as the days of I Bruce and the last king orowned with it was Charles II. The royal jewels in this roora are very hand some and, of course, valuable. But I this will have to suffice for the castle. Now, a word about Holyrood, a place of surpassing and thrilling in terest. The palace here was founded by James IV in 1601. The piel ure gallery in this palace contains 100 imaginary piotures of both fabulous and reputed rulers of Scotland - and other piotures which elioit one's at tention. There are some attractive pain tilias in the rooms occupied by Lord Darnley. Queen Mary's apart ments, whioh are on the third floor of James V's Tower, form probably tbo most interesting portion of the palace buildings.- Here this noted queen spent the most eventful years of her unhappy life. We must I simply mention the audience-cham ber, the bed-chamber and the dress ing- room. A word anent the private Btaircase and supper-roora. A small door on the north side opens on the private staircase. It was through this that the assassins of Rizzio as cended to the royal apartments. On the night of Maroh 9, 1560, the un fortunate Ki/./.io was dragged from behind the Queeu, to whose gar ments ho ohing for protection. He was hurried through the bed-room and ante-chamber and at the head of the staircase he was put to death by the daggers of the Earl of Morton, Lord Ruthven and "divers other gentlemen." There is a little bronze slab in the floor which marks the place where Rizzio was put to death. ThoBo were indeed stirring times. The Chapel Royal is the only portion whioh remains of the anoient Abbey of Holyrood, founded by King David in 1128, nearly 800 years ago. This old chapel has had a wonderful his tory. It was dilapidated by Edward II in 1822 and was burned (all that would burn) by Richard II in 1885. lt was restored by Abbott Crawford near the end of the 15th century, and was again sacked by the English in 1547. The portion that now re mains to tell the thrilling tale of the past consists of the nave of tho, ancient building,...?*^ a~ io9ftt"8 g? now to the Uuivorsity. Tho main building is a quadrangular edifice, 358 by 255 feet, magnificent in its appointments and imposing in its size. The library contains more than 140,000 printed volumes and 2,000 volumes of manuscript. This university has four main depart ments, theology, law, medioino and art, and has for a long time sustained " world-wide reputation as a seat of profound learning, drawing students from all parts of the civilized world, I visited the house in whioh John Knox lived from 1559 to 1572, th< year of his death.

I understand that a fitting monument ?H soon to be ereoted in Edinburgh to this man who made Scotland and much of the best in other lands. There is a mag nificent monument to him in Glas gow in the cemetery by the cathe dral. People are now fulfilling the prophecy uttered by Knox himself : "What I have been to ray cou nt ry,, although this unthankful ago will not j know, yet ages to come will be com pelled to bear witness to the truth." The church of St. Giles, which be longs to the Established (Presby terian) church of Scotlnnd, is a place of thrilling interest and HO is the Greyefaiars church., and I wish I could say something on these plaoeo, but time, or rather the lack of it, prevents. I attended two services held in the former church. I passed by the ohuroh of St. An drews, from whioh Thou. Chalmers I and those who followed him went! out of the Established ohuroh in 1848, as far as they knew, facing wan,t and poverty, and inspiring peo ple everywhere since with their noble stand for principle and truth as they saw it. I apent a Sunday in Edinburgh, an ideal place to spend the Lord's day in. There was a quietness and rest iu the very atmosphere that could almost be felt. I attended two ser vices in St. George's church on this day, where large congregations as sembled. These services were de lightful and helpful. The Lord's day is uot obsoleto in Scotland.
