The annual pic-nic of the Sunday- school children 4 of St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church, will take place to- ittirrow at the Hchuetzenplatz.

Mr. William Clifton and Lady fdopping at Mr. H. W Mr. Clifton is a lawyer of Savannah, and is here for the benefit of Mrs. Clifton’s health. We are glad to see our friend Gen. G. A.

Mrs. Lucius Cuthbert, returned from Charleston yesterday, where she had been for several days under the medical treatment, of Dr. F. L.

Mr. Brown lias been spending the winter in Florida for his health, where he has been much benefited, though still bearing the appearance of a great in valid. Dr. E. R. Bardeen sent to our office yesterday, from his farm on the sub urbs, a bunch of Asparagus of a French variety, every stalk of which was as large as a man’s thumb and some larger. They were, as fine as any we ever saw, and the Doctor will accept our thanks for his thoughtful attention. We learn that % severe storm of wind and hail and rain visited the Ridge .Spring section, between 4 and 5 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, do ing much damage to young fields of cotton and corn and badly injuring the outcrops. The hail knocked quanti ties of fruit from the trees, and the land is very badly washed from the heavy rain. w, T. U.

When he callec his witnesses to the stand and ques tioned them very confidently, nearly all the evidence they gave was direct ly contrary to his views of the case. He called upseveral prominenH&w- yers to prove that the title deeds were not goed, but they all swore that they believed the titles were perfectly good. The old gentleman was quits taken aback by the unexpected answers to his questions, and his repeated fail ures to elicit anything favorable to bis side of the ease. At one time he said to his Honor, Judge Fraser: “The witness is determined to deny everj’thing he said and done.” He asked another witness the question: “Is it the way with you, that it is not convenient to remember anything? Is that the way?” The witness re plied that he always testified to what he believed to be correct. “Y*es,” said the self-constituted attorney, ‘but then you do not testify to facts; you evade the facts.’ Do you ac knowledge the facts or do you substi tute something for the facts.’ ” Finally the old gentleman gave up in dispair, and turning to the Judge said: “It is useless in me asking questions, I can’t get truthful answers from anybody.” The case having been decided against him. He said, “Your Honor what will i now have to do?” to which Judge Fraser replied; “ wiil have to pay up that bond.” obi gentleman then desired the Judge to instruct him how to make an ap peal, but Judge Fraser, who had borne with him very patiently, told him that if he wanted to appeal from his decision, he must get some one else to help him. He left Court a sadder if not a wiser man. •you The THE GOOD TEMPLARS. Secoml Week of Civil Court, The case tried on Monday was John P. Lorenz vs. George W. Turner, ac tion to recover certain amounts for which it was claimed, the defendant was liable as partner to plaintiff. The referee hud found for the defendant and the case came up on his report. Argument consumed the entire day and the Court reserved the decision, Croft ami Dunlap and O. C. Jordan for plaintiff, Henderson Bro’s. for defendant. On Tuesday the case of C. K. Hen derson vs. Joel Bradley et al. was tried, Henderson Bro’s. for plaintiff and VV. T. Gary for defendant. Decree for foreclosure for plaintiff. Wednesday and Thursday, was oc cupied with "the trial of the very im portant case of H. C. Brabhan, admin- istror vs. Jas. E. Crosland et al. This case involved important questions of Confederate investments, etc. At the close of the testimony it was determin ed not to argue the case then, but before Judge Fraser in Columbia in June. Croft and Dunlap and P. A. Emanual represented the plaintiff, and Hen derson Bro’s. and Hon. J. J. Maher the defendant. After the testimony was taken in the Crosland ease, the Court heard arguments for a new trial in the case of T. O. Brywn vs. S. C. Railroad Co., and set aside the ver dict of $400 which the jury had given the plaintiff and ordered a new trial. During the week a large number of orders and judgments by default were taken which are not of sufficient inter est to the general public to warrant the publication. After nearly three weeks of busy work, Judge Fraser left for home on Thursday evening, leaving behind him a good impression on all sides. A Most Heartrending Accident. On Tuesday last between the hours of twelve and one o’clock in the day, a most heartrending accident befell little Oliie, the five year old son of Mr. O. C. Jordan, which resulted after much suffering in death.. It ap pears that in an out-house on the premises of Mr. Jordan were stored in a barrel, some hundred or more paper shells of a highly explosive character, the relicts of a shooting match, which had taken place many months ago. Little Oilie while engaged in playing with some companions, dropped his rubber ball into the barrel upon which hejumpted in to recover his property, when the entire contents of the barrel exploded, tearing up the soles of his feet, frightfully lacerating his legs and burning his face. Notwithstanding the severe nature of his wounds, he made his way to the dwelling unas sisted and in a perfect state of con sciousness. Dr. T. G. Croft the family physician was sent for, and Drs. Ged- diugs and B. F. Wyman were called in and every effort made to save the little sufferer, but lie died at lOo’cloek that night, it is supposed from the shock and internal injuries, as the external injuries were not considered sufficient to have produced death. This very sad accident has enlisted the sympathies of the entire commu nity in behalf of the afflicted parents. The little boj* was an uncommonly bright and interesting child, and his frank manner and winsome ways won the love of all who came in contact with him. The funeral services were performed atG o’clock on Wednesday afternoon, before a very large congregation of sympathizing friends, by the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, at the Aiken Baptist Church. The heart of our entire community goes out to the bereaved parents in this dark hour of a most u< calamity. Fourteenth Annual Convention of the Grand Lodge. — An Encouraging Outlook for tho Temperance Cause in South Carolina. Correspondence of the News nnd Conricr, Piedmont, April 20.—The Grand Lodge of Good Templars met here in its fourteenth annual session yester day morning with the following of ficers : Rev. H. G. Chreitzberg, Sumter, Grand Chief Templar; Col. James McCoIlough, Greenville. G. W. G.; Miss Laura Cash, Pelzer, G. \V. Y T . T.; H. H. Anderson, Spartanburg, G. W. S.; W. F. Rhanie, Sumter, G. A. S.; W. H. Cuttino, Sumter, G. W. T.; W. J. Snider, Orangeburg, G. W. Chap lain; H. R. Mosely, Greenville, G. W. M.; Mrs. M. A. Dixon, Charleston, G. D. INI.; T. F. Caliaham, Anderson, G. I. G.; J. L. Simpson, Laurens, G. O. G.; J. A. McCullough, Greenville, G. Messenger; Col.T. B.Crews, Laur ens, P. G. \V. C. T. About thirty subordinate lodgers were represented by sixty-five dele gates and visitors. Mr. A. C. McGee, in behalf of the Piedmont Lodge, extended a warm welcome to the Grand Lodge. The Grand Chief Templar’s report was read in the evening session, and contained a full and complete state ment of the condition and needs of the Order in this state. The reports of delegates, which followed, devel oped two facts: First, that the mem bership in this State is not as large as It was one year ago, and secondly, that the lodges are in better condition than at that time, not so much in point of numbers as in unity and earn estness of purpose. The main event of the day was the welcome meeting, held in the evening in the church. It was presided over by Mr. S. F. Towbridge, and every avail able inch of the building was packed to its utmost capacity by an eager au dience. The address of welcome, in behalf of the town was delived by Col. H. P. Hammett, president of the factory. His speech was a master-piece, and to say that the Grand Lodge Lodge was charmed and delighted would feebly express the sentiment of that body. After telling of the evils of drunk enness and the great wrong to hu manity resulting from the liquor traf fic, and putting the blame where it properly belongs—upon the liquor seller, and upon the laws which made his business legal—he told his au dience of Piedmomt—bright, smiling, happy, prosperous, sober Piedmont— a town of fifteen hundred souls, where, in its ten years of existence, not one drop of whiskey has ever been sold, in which there is not a solitary drunkard, and where a violation of the rules of sobriety is inexorably punished. Col. Hammett’s address made a profound impression upon the Good Templars, who had before their eyes so bright an example of the success of prohibition in the town of Peid- mont. Grand Templar Chreitzberg re sponded to Col. Hammett’s address in an eloquent and impressive speech. The Rev. C. L. Stewart made an address of welcome in behalf of the churches, und Mr. A. S. Powell in be half of the secret societies, and the rcspotiscs were made by the Rev. J. W. Sinclerand \V. H. Cuttino respec tively. The Piedmont Brass Band and the church choir furnished music. The meeting was altogether enjoyable and was the best, taken all in all, that the Grand Lodge has ever exper ienced. Robbery and House Burning. Edgefield Monitor, April 30th. The dwelling house of Mr. Benja min Cato, four miles from Ridge Spring, was burned about 3 o’clock p. in., on Sunday last, together with its entire contents. The family was ab sent at the time, and there is suffi cient evidence to warrant the conclu sion that the house was first robbed and then set on fire. There was some two hundred dollars or more in gold and silver in a shot-bag in the war drobe, and in another place and more secluded there was about forty dollars in gold and silver. It is believed the larger amount was found and taken, as only a small amount of melted metal could be found. Two silver watches were also in the house—one banging over the mantlepiece, the other in a box in another room. The melted cases of the latter were found but nt> trace of the former. Mr. Cato was on a hot trail of the suspected parties on Monday, and we hope be fore going to press to be able to chron icle their capture. All of Mr. Cato’s notes and accounts, and also the books and accounts of his son, Doc, who is engaged in the turpentine business nearby, were destroyed. The loss is fully $2,000, with no insurance. Later.—Town officer Creed arrest ed a negro this (Wednesday) morning on suspicion of being one of the par ties implicated in the burning and robbery. He thinks he has the right man. Clearer Prospects of Peace. London, May 3.—The News, in a leading editorial to-day, says that the prospects for peace have been much clearer and more amply confirmed within the last forty-eight hours. A Russian dispatch, conciliatory iu tone and substance, was sent to the Govern ment by telegraph after the Czar had conferred with his ministers, and a courier with the oflicial written reply to Earl Granville is now on his way to London. The News warns its read ers, however, against hasty conclu sions that peace is assured. Earl Granville and the Duke of Cambridge, at the Royal Academy banquet, spoke hopefully of a peace ful settlement of the difficulties. Earl Granville had an extended conference with her Majesty, the Queen, on Sunday. Saloons North ami South. St. Louis Republican. Governor St. John, since his return from the South, confesses that the temperance work is further advanced in the South than in the North. Mis sissippi has 930 saloons; Minnesota, with about the same population has over 3,000 saloons; Arkansas has 1,334 saloons; California, with about the same population has 9,369 saloons. Old Bourbon Kentuckey has 4,461 sa loons, and Ohio 15,390. Startling as this statement may be in proportion to the population, tlie North has twice as many saloons as the South. And yet the Soutli is Democratic and the North is Republican and striving to be prohibition also. Cummunion Wine. Mr. Alfred Speer the celebrated wine grower of New Jersey preserves the unfirmented Juice of the grape for Sacramental use. It hhs been adopted, and it uses sactioned by the prominent devines of this country, tt is also used by Invalids with re markable effect. Wanted.
