An alarm of fire sounded Monday after? noon at S o'clock. The firemen turned out promptly, but their services were not needed, as it proved to be a false alarm, caused! by a row near the Baptist Church between 'several negro boys, one of whom was screaming very loudly. Some one was passing at the time, and, hearing the screams, thought it was a fire, and sounded the alarm on the street. . Mr. C. G. Richey met with a painful accident Sunday afternoon.

The "Grasshopper Cltfb" gave an enter? tainment last Friday evening at tS'fl resi? dence of Mr, D. S. Taylor. A number of1 the friends of the Club were present, and everybody seemed to enjoy it. The Club is composed of a number of little boys and girls, who, under the careful training of fMrs. Taylor, had arranged an inter? esting programme for the occasion, con? sisting of music, recitations and tableaux. Those who took part on this occasion were Misses Emily and Edna Divvcr, and Marion Taylor, and Masters Furman Biv ver, E. T. Qambrell, Jr.,. Henry Todd, and Mortimer Sloan, all of whom acquit? ted themselves well. Mrs. Taylor also appeared upon the stage in several of the tableaux, and before the conclusion o.f the entertainment recited "The Conquered Banner." Mr. J. J. Gilmer's burglar has been se? cured and is now lodged in jail. He is a negro about 25 years old, and goes by the name of Tdm. S alii van. He says he is from LaurenB County, but haS been liv? ing in and around Anderson for some time. The day preceding the burglary Sullivan worked for Mr. Gilmer, and as soon as the crime was committed he was suspected of being the guilty party. The police were notified and they kept their eyes on the negro, who was arrested Sat? urday afternoon, Sunday morning he confessed to having committed the crime, and told Mr. Gilmer how he entered the house and what he had done with the stolen pocket-book and its contents. On Monday Sullivan was committed to jail by Trial Justice Todd to await trial at the next term of Court. Monday afternoon while Mr. J. N. Strickland was driving out of the city in his wagon, and when near Mr. C. Ward | law's residence on South Main street, he met a whito man and two negroes com? ing into the city in a buggy. Mi. Strick I land noticed, from the careless way in I which they were driving, that they were intoxicated,, and be drove to one side to let them pass. They, however, drove into his team, breaking both his wagon and their buggy. This seemed to enrage the negroes, and one of them, Oliver Fitzger? ald, pulled out his pistol and threatened to shoot Mr, Strickland, who continued down the street, the negro following him, until he reached Mr. Will. Miirtin's house. Here Mr. Strickland halted and tried to get a gun or something to defend himself. The negro in the meantime turned around, and came back to the city. Mr. Strickland also came back and re? ported the affair to Chief McGruder, who bad the negro arrested. When searched at the station house, the pistol and a very heavy sling-shot were found upon his person. On Tuesday morning Fitzgerald J was brought before Trial Justice Todd, who committed him to jail under two charges?carrying concealed weapons and assault with intent to kill. Messrs. John N. Whan, of Spartanburg, and C. R. Hardy, of Greenville, local Sec? retaries of the Y. M. C. A. of those cities, spent last Sunday in the city, and during their Btay conducted two very interesting religious meetings. At 5 o'clock p. m. a meeting for men only was held in the Temperance Hall, and over one hundred young men were present. Both gentle? men addressed the meeting, and their in? teresting remarks made a good impres? sion upon those whose pleasure it was to hear them. At night services were held in the-' Methodist Church, which was crowded to its utmost seating capacity, the other city Churches being closed. The pastor, Mr. Smith, presided, and intro? duced Messrs. Hardy and Whan to the audience, both of whom gave a brief his? tory of the Young Men's Christian Asso? ciation and told of the great work it was . doing throughout the world in bringing young men to Christ. Both speakers were listened to very attentively by the large audience, and everybody seemed to enjoy the service. These young gentlemen are earnest, energetic workers in Christ's cause, and are doing a noble work for the young men of their respective homes. Anderson needs a well-equipped Y. M. C. A., and we are glad to know that some of the young men are taking steps to estab? lish one here. The most enjoyable social event of the season was the lawn party at the resi? dence of Gen. Humphreys, on Whitner street, Wednesday evening, 21st inst. The occasion had been gotten up by a number of the young men of the city, and they made a big success of it. The large and beautiful lawn surrounding the resi? dence was brilliantly lighted by Chinese lanterns, and here and there were arranged comfortable seats for the promenaders. The h0U30 was also brilliantly illumi? nated, and altogether the scene was a most beautiful one. The large hall and parlors were thrown open, and in the former was stationed the colored string band of Greenyille. Here the merry dancers kept time to the lively strains of music, and those who did not partici? pate in the dance enjoyed themselves in promenading, tctc-a-teta, etc. An almost unlimited number of invitations had been issued, and gathered there were the beauty, grace and wit of Anderson. A large number of the married folks hon? ored the occasion with their presence, and kept their eyes on the lovely maid and handsome swain as they indulged in the pleasures of the evening. About 11 o'clock light refreshments were served. The Y. A. Cornet Band was present and at intervals discoursed sweet music on the lawn. It was after 1 o'clock before the merry party retired to their homes, and every one felt that the joyou3 hours had sped too swiftly< Gen. and Mrs. Humphreys are due many thanks for the pleasures of the occasion.
