Williams, ad ministrator of Mrs. America Williams, vs. the Boutti Carolina Railway Co. It was called for trial on Monday after noon, and after several objections a jury, with Mr. Bariu*3' (Hover as fore man, was chosen to try it. The plaintiff claimed that Mrs Wil liams was a passenger on the train of the company and that on the 17th De- cemtier, 188o, at White Pond, another train was so carelessly allowed to ap proach the train in which she was riding that she and the other passen gers had to jump to save their lives; that site did jump and was so injured that she died afterwards from premu- The Stables of Maj.

M. on the moriiim; of ihe List, destroying the stables of Major Harry Hammond. Seven horses and one mule perished fn the flames, and a large lot of corn and forage was con sumed. One mule escaped but it isso badly injured that ils recovery is ex tremely doubtful. Among tiie horses that perished were four fine brood ! mures, all in foal, also (be fine saddle | horse “Mada” of Miss Julia Ham mond, who is an accomplished e j<.e— i Incline. The lire was discovered in Master Kit Hammond, who happened to wake about that time, and gave the j alarm. A strong wind was blowing ; in the direction of “Redclifle,” the family residence, built by Gov. Ham mond, and ii was with great difficulty l that it was saved. We are informed by Mr. Henry C.

She died in Texas, where she was going, on the 29th of January, 1886. The defendants denied all negli gence, denied that she jumped, and claimed if she did jump she was not injured, but died from natural causes. It took two days to take the evi dence, then followed aboulcight hours of argument by Messrs. Jordan, Croft and Wright for the plaintiff and Messrs. Henderson Bros, and Brawley for the defendant company. The jury were out most of the night considering the case and on Thursday morning brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for $1,600. The claim of the plaintiff was for *25,000. It was an interesting cause and the outside w’orld was divided as to the result. We understand the plaintiff’s counsel moved for a new trial, which motion is still under consideration by the Judge. Some other matters of minor im portance Vore attended to, and the court adjourned sine die on Friday. Death of Dr. I*. M. Butler. On Tuesday. April 18th Dr. P. M. Butler the eldest son «f Col. A. P. Butler, State Commissioner of Agri culture died at the resilience of his brother-in-law Mr. George Walker in Schultz Township, Aiken county. This makes four children that Col. Butler has lost within three years. A little more than two years ago Dr. Butler was stricken down with a se vere attack of typhoid fever through w hich he passed,barely escaping will) bis life. Before his attack he was one of the finest specimens of physical manhood we have ever seen. He was six feet three or four inches tail, splen- dily proportioned, very powerful and enjoyed the best of health. By this attack of fever his health was com pletely wrecked and he has ever since been a great sufferer, several times being at the point of deatii. The immediate cause of his deatii is said to have been an overdose of nior- f )hine which lie took before retireing n order to relieve his suffering. He was found very ill in Ins room llie next morning and in a short while ex- BfHtutler was a promising physician and as a maiuiyas hlghlyes^eemed by all who knew hiin.'^^W^TB^a brave, courteous, amiable gentleman and his loss will be keenly felt in tiie commu nity in winch he lived. The afflicted family that has so often been visited by deatii in the last three years meets with the sincere sympathies of a large circle of relatives and friends. | son of Major Hammond, that the house [took fire in ten places. Mrs. Ham- ; mond and her two daughters. Miss Julia and Miss Catherine, and the Misses Hall, daughters of the Rev. Mr. Hall of Brooklyn, New York, assisted in carrying buckets of water to the young men, Henry and Kit Hammond, who were stationed on the top of the dwelling and carriage house; and a large number of colored people also promptly rallied to the spot and rendered ev ry assistance in their power, and b.y these means the hand some residence was saved. Tiie woods five hundred yards the other side of the house took fire, and the flames were only extinguished after great effort. Young Henry Ham mond’s position on the top of the lofty dwelling was very perilous, but he did heroic duty with siieet ropes around his body as safeguards. The dwelling was insured for $5,000. It cost about $25,000 to build. The stables, carrtage house and horses were uninsured and the loss is estimated at $3,000. Most of the horses had been raised by Major Hammond and were of fine blood, and aside from their intrinsic value had a sentimental value which makes the loss still heavier. Tiie stables were substantially built and conveniently arranged, and had just been put in complete repair, with certain improve ments added to adapt them to breed ing purposes. The cause of the fire is unknown. Major Hammond thinks it may have been caused by matches accidentally dropped in the litter and possibly ig nited bv being stepped on by one of the animals. He knows of no ill feel ing towards him from any one and does not think it the work of an in cendiary. An incident of the fire was the find ing of a huge rattlesnake dead near Ihe burned building. The reptile had evidently perished while making his escape. Rats by the score were also found burned. One of the seven horses was the property of Mr. John Clark, which iiad been hired by young Kit Ham mond for a few days to do some ploughing on his farm. Major Hammond proposes to send to Kentucky for other animals. The seventh annual session of the State Dental Association will convene to-morrow. Drs. Teague and Court ney, of Aiken, will attend. Dr. T. G. Croft returned on Saturday from Westfield New Jersey whither he went to accompany a very sick patient returning to his home. Mr. and Mrs. T. R. McGahan arriv ed in Aiken on Saturday morning on a fl> ing visit to their son Dr. Charles McGahan. They left on Sunday ev ening after a pleasant visit. An alarm was sounded last night at the store of Homy Busch & Co. by a kerosene lamp which was out of order. Mr. Thorpe promptly threw the lamp out of the window and thus averted danger. The following additional persons left yesterday for Charleston to attend the unveiling ceremonies: Miss H. Ravenel, Miss Mary Percival, Mr. While Pond Loner. White Pond, S. C , April 20. f Since my last we have had some fine rains and the weather has assum ed a spring like temperature so that farming looks more ho|H'ful. Farmers ; are well on with their work, cotton planting is progressing finely. There is quite a revolution in the , cotton planting interests of our coun try. There is being more cheeked ; cotton planted than ever before, tills is to save labor (hoeing). Labor is j ijuite an item in the cotton crop us laborers will not thin cotton for less than fifty cents per acre, and if you i require it well done they will not do ! it at nil Dr. T. M. Daily of the State Mission ! Board gave us a call on Sunday night hiSk* art! delivered one of his best ser mons. Thw is the Dr’s first visit to the Edisto Association, and if he made as good an impression all around as lie did here, his visit will certainly be a success, so far at good impressions are concerned. What kind of an im pression the Dr. will carry away with him is another thing. He visited our association in a bad time for collect ing money, as money is scarce at this time of the year. Our Slate Mission Board is inaugurating a general sys tem of Col portage in our State, each association is required to raise$100ssii permanent fund, when the Board will give them, or start a colporter in their midst. The churches of the Edisto Association have been requested *to raise their $100, how they have com plied I don’t know, hut hope it will soon be raised ns it is a much needed appendage to our present work. White Pond. and Mrs. L. C. Ligou and Col. Sawyer. E. Granitcvillc Factory. The annual meeting of stockholders of this factory was held in Graniteville pn Thursday, April 21st. Although the annual report of President H. H. Hickman was not given to the public it is understood that it makes a favor able showing for the past year, and that Graniteville is all right again with a prospect of dividends in tiie near future. The stock is in demand at $133 per share on a par value of $100, and it is thought that the satisfaction arising out of President Hickmans re port will advance the stock to a high er figure. The following officers were elected: President H. H. Hickman of Augusta, Directors, A. B. David son of Charlotte. Hamilton Beattie of Greenville, James P. Boyce of Janes ville and R. A. Fleming of Augusta. The stockholders were carried from Augusta to Graniteville on a special train. The improvements on thcold Grnn- ttevilie mill are now equal t» the equipment of the Vaucluse mill and both mills are said to be running at a fair profit. The New York Millinery Store, Broad Htrcet,. Augusta, Ga. Miss Nellie Purcell, of tiie New York Millinery Store, under the Cen tral Hotel, Augusta. Ga., invites the ladles of Aiken and the surrounding country to call and examine her beau tiful stock of millinery and fancy goods just received from the most fashionable establishments, which site is prepared to sell at reasonable prices. Miss Purcell’s well established repu tation as a leader of fashions in mil- Jinerv will doubtless induce her lady Itatrons to cull at mice and inspect her beautiful and complete stock, where they will find articles of female attire too lovely and indescribable for the pencil of this writer. Annual Picnic of the Edisto Rifles. We have received an invitation to be present at the annual picnic of the Edisto Rifles, of Orangeburg, S. C., to be held at Palmetto Grove, Thursday, ,Anril 28th. from the following com mittee of gentlemen: Lieut. W. J. De Treville, Jr., chairman; O. R. Low- man, B. H. Moss, W. S. Stewart, E. N. Scovill. H. O. Duneson, S. E. Owen, J, W. Bowman and W. B. Light foot. Tiie committee will please accept our thanks for the courtesy of their invitation, but we regret, that business engagements compel us to forego the pleasure. Gov. Richardson has been invited and a grand time is expected. Another Chalk Mine. Tiie Augusta correspondent of yes terdays AV/cs and Courier nay a: Mr. Dunbar Lamar,a wealthy young plan ter of Beech Island, S. C., was seen in the city last night by your correspon dent, and informed of a chalk bed negotiation that Mr. G. J>. Lunduiu and himself had just closed with Mr. J. D.Everett. Mr. Everett is theownerof a tract o/ land containing about twen ty acres and situated on Beech Island which is supposed to contain a pure deposit of chalk, for which Messrs. Luma'*and Landrum paid him $2,000 cash last night; this merely for tiie privilege of working tlic> deposit of kao- line. If chalk is found in the soil the profits belong to the new purchaser: if not, the land reverts back to Mr. Everett. Witile boring several weeks ago in the same soil chalk was found but was amalgamated with sand, mak ing it worthless. The residents of Beech Island arc divided as to wheth er the land contains chalk. Some think a fortune is in store for the plucky speculators,while others think the Lind is barren of the pure deposit and the $2,000 is sunk. Grand Baptist Sunday School Picnic. The Baptist Sunday school of Or angeburg have arranged for another grand picnic at the Aiken Sehuetzen- platz on Thursday, May oth. Arrange ments have been made with the South Carolina railroad for a special excur sion train at low rates, and a very large crowd will attend. I ast year the excursion train contained seven cars. The O angeburg Baptists have invited the Aiken Baptist Sunday school and their friends to participate. We acknowledge with thanks tiie courtesy of an invitation. Mrs. E. C. Legare and her daughter, Miss Videan Marion Legare, left on Saturday for Charleston. Miss Legare is to lie one of the young ladies who will draw the halyards that will un veil the statue of the great Calhoun. She participates in the ceremony as a relation of General Francis Marion, of Revolutionary fame. We have received an invitation to be present at the annual picnic of the Cadets of the South Carolina Military Academy which will take place on Fii- day Aprit29at Mount Pleasant. The invitation was accompanied by the cards of our young friends Cadets, Samuel B. Platt and E. E. Burckhal- ter, to whom we tender our acknowl edgement of their Iterance. thoughtful remem- Mr. Merritt’s Alleged Joke. Mr. J. Albert Merritt, of Ridge Spring, S C., who recently published a detailed statement of the wonderful curative powers of an alleged electric pit on bis father’s place, comes to the front in a card in Sunday's Augusta Chronicle ami states that it is “only a joke' 1 —in other words, there is not a word of truth in the story. Such jokes are without a particle of merit, even though the author rejoices in the eu phonious name of '•'Merritt." Delegates to Diocesan Convention.

The house of Marianu Scott, a col ored woman living in Hahn’s row, ! was fired into four times on WeJnes- | day night. The first shot came i through the door and three others through the window. The miscreant is unknown, but it is supposed that tiie shots were intended for Jcrrv DefoaCed Chicken Thieves. Just after bed time on Saturday night an attempt was made to rob the chicken coop of Mr, G. W. E. Thorpe, which was fortunately defeated by a discharge from Mr. Thorpe’s gun. Tiie next morning it was found that the top of the coop had been torn off, but nothing Inst. Granitcvillc Items. Guanitevilpe, S. C., \ April 25th, 1887.) Editor Aiken Recorder: Many thanks, Mr. Editor, for the kind words said in my behalf, as you expressed my sentiments exactly. In reply io “A Liover of Justice” would say that if he reads my former article over in regard to the strides tiie Methodist church has made here in the past two years, he will see I said the church was “going down,” and was “not down.” There is a vast difference between anything being “down” and “going down,” and a prop can be put to hold things “going down” up, and if it was “down” this would be useless. So without doing any one an injustice or casting any reflections or aspersions on any »>f the past ministers who have officiated here and tried to do their duty to their church, I would say that Rev. Wroten was the “prop” put in the right place to keep the church from going down, and he was a success, as his works proved. J. W. Stansfield*will go as a repre sentative to the Grand Lodge Knights of Honor at Anderson this week. Miss Mamie Hack, of Brunswick, Ga., is visiting at her sister’s, Mrs. Dr. Wyman, and is a valuable ac quisition to the society of the town. The annual library meeting met at tiie company’s office on Tuesday, April 12th, and the election of officers re.-uUe i ns follows: James L. Quinby, President. T. H. Rennie, Secretary. J. W. Stausfield, Treasurer. William Marchant, Trustee, to serve for five years. The reading of the reports by the Secretary of the Librarian and Treas urer showed we had a library of over 400 volumes, and a surplus in the treasury, which will be used to pur chase additional books. This is tiie fourth year of the library’s existence and it is still prosperous. Mrs. George DeMedecies died on last Sunday, 17th, at her home near here, after a long and painful illness. She leaves a husband and a large family Of children to mourn her loss. Rev. L. Cuthbert preached h«r funeral sermon and her remains were interred here in the cemetery. On last Sunday some men and wo men came from Augusta and repre sented themselves as a part of the Salvation Army, or praying baud. They had several open air meetings during the day. A great many went to see them, more through curiosity than from any good they expected to derive from hearing them. Win. Brooks, who was shot in Au- gusta on Tuesday, was brought here for burial. His brother, Beu Brooks, took charge of the remains. Tiie Nickel Club met at Thorpe's Hall on Tuesday night. The young men of the town got the local band and a pleasant evening was spent in dancing, which was hugely enjoyed by the belles and beaux. Thursday was stockholders’ day and bright and beautiful weather ushered it in. The party was met at the South Carolina railroad depot by carriages and wagon-*, which were gayly deco rated witli festoons of flowers and evergreens. They were driven to the hotel, where the ladies spent most of their time, and the men repaired to the office to transact business. All tilings must have given satisfaction, as the guests did full justice to tiie elegant menu prepared by Mrs. Semi for them. They all returned about 5 o’clock to their homes in Augusta and elsewhere. There will be a picnic at Walker's Spring on Wednesday ot this week, given by the young men here, and all anticipate having a good time. Quite a party will leave here on Tuesday to attend the unveiling cere monies of the Calhoun monument in the City by the Sea. Styx. Renews Her Youth.
