The C. & G. authorities have acceded to the wishes of Anderson and will run the "cannon ball" train through from Colum? bia to Anderson, and continue running the Blue Ridge train through to Green? ville. This disposition shown by the au? thorities to accommodate its patrons is very commendable, aud our people, espe? cially, feel very grateful to them. The northbound freight train on the C. & G. Road was derailed two miles the other"* side of Hodges last Thursday night, and nino box cars more or less damaged. Three of the cars were thrown thirty-fiye or forty feet from the track and their contents scattered far and wide. A broken axle caused the wreck.

Miss Adele Frost, who is billed to ap? pear in the Opera House Friday evening in Tngomar," is fitted by nature with all the beauty, charms and graces that can be looked for in woman. Added to this, she is possessed of the divine fire of genius, and her performances have always been tbe brightest gems of the theatrical season. They appeal directly to refinement aud intelligence, and her engagement in this city will surely attract all of our best peo? ple. Our clever friend, Mr. J. W. Simpson, of the Pendleton section, was in tbe city last Saturday, and we wero glad to meet him. He says the continued bad weather is seriously interfering with farm work in his section. Mr. Simpson is one of our most progressive farmers. Last year he made sixty five bales of cotton, besides a big crop of corn, oats, etc. Every year he makes corn to sell, He says he is anxious to see the day come when every farmer in the South will make his own supplies and stop growing so much cotton. Easter will this year come at the earliest date it has since 1883. With the excep? tion of 1864 this will be the only coming March Easter in the present century, and in 1895 Eastei comes on March 25th, within three days of its earliest coming. The 22nd of March 1816, was Easter day, and that was the only time it has fallen at tbat, its earliest date in this century. Its latest date, April 25th, was reached only once in this century, in 1886, and will not occur again. There have beon only two Easters in the centnry falling on March 29th so far?in 1807 and 1812. It Is generally conceded tbat we should have some sort of an entertainment or de? monstration to attract a crowd to our growing city for a few days this summer, and the question arises, what shall it be ? A firemen's tournament, a dog show, a stock show and a match game of base ball by two of the league clubs have been sug? gested. We would like to hear the mat? ter discussed, and offer our columns to any citizen who may haye any suggestions to make. If our people will go to work at once we know something can be ar? ranged to draw a crowd. We would sug? gest that tbe citizens think over the mat? ter and in the near future meet in confer? ence, for some sort of entertainment dur? ing the month of July or August. The money thus spent would be a good in? vestment. This section rarely ever experiences a more disagreeable day than last Sunday. All night Saturday night the rain came down with a steady drip, and continued through Sunday and Sunday night with? out hardly an intermission. At time? the wind blew, and there was some thunder and lightning. All tbe streams in the County spread their banks, and in some sections small bridges were washed away, and larger ones damaged. Rocky River, near this city, was as high on Monday, we are told, as it ever gets to be. The high winds dispelled the clouds Monday and we had sunshine until Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday morning it began raining again. The track of the 0. & G. R. R. at Saluda Old Town is badly dnmaged, and there were no through trains over the Road from Columbia either Monday or Tuesday. A portion of the city of Augusta was under water Tuesday, the Savannah River having riseu nearly 3G feet. Ko great damage lias been caused to property, and our latest ihformatiou Wed? nesday uiornkig was that the water was receding. Great, daiaa^o Is reported through sections of north.

Ifc wili be remembered that these two ne? groes with several others wore arrested a few weeks ago upon tho same charge, ; but after a preliminary hearing were dis? charged by Trial Justice Todd, of this city. Since then the railroad authorities put a detective to work on the case, and he se? cured additional and stronger evidence against the above named negroes. It is said other parties are implicated and will be arrested. On last Friday evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Fretwell, on North Main Street, was thrown open to tho on joyineut of their friends. Their house w?s a scene of beauty and attractiveness.

At a late hour the guests departed, loud in the praises of host and hostess, pronouncing it the crowning party of the season. On to-morrow (Friday) evening Miss Adele Frost will appear at tho Opera House in Lovell's four-act play, 'Tngo mar." She is supported by Bennett Mat? tock and a company of actors especially engaged for their fitness to enact the par? ticular characters they portray. Tho Wil? mington (N. C.) Observer, of the 2Sth ult., speaks as follows of Miss Frost and her Company: "A very large and fashionable audience greeted Miss Frost and her ex? cellent Company at the Opera House last night. She appeared to great advantage and was an ideal Partbenia. Her concep? tion of the character is exact and her por? trayal of it equal to the best we have ever seen. She v/rs applauded to the echo, and by one stride has attained a very enviable position in the estimation of our theatre goers." Tickets are now on sale at Hill Bros.

The annual statement of the Mutual Life Insurance Company is published fn another column. Since its organization in 1843, this Company has paid to its pol? icy-holders $304,555,148 25. The wonder? ful growth of the Company is due in large degree to the froedom from restriction and irksome conditions in the contract and to the opportunities for investment which'are offered in addition to indemnity in case of death. The Mutual Life was the first to practically undertake the sini pliUcaliou of the insurance contract and strip it of verbiage in tho mazes of which could be /ouad. innumerable refuges against claims of policy-holders who had, however unwittingly, departed from the strict letter of the agreement. That this appealed powerfully to the popular taste is evident from the fact that in lt90 the Com? pany wrote over $160,000,000 of new insur? ance. Mr. C. W. Webb represents the Mutual in Anderson. The American Grocer, published in New York, under dato of the 4th inst., speaks as follows of Anderson and one of her live merchants; "Nowhere in South Carolina can you lind a city twice the size of An? derson which has half tho get up and push of the business men of that go-ahead and thriving little city; and no one stands higher with his trade than does Mr. R. S. Ligou, familiar known as "Dick." Be? sides haudling as large a country trade as anyone else he handles the fancy groceries of the city. Of course he has competition. It is expected he should, but then when you go through hi? place and receive his courteous treatment you will generally leave your order. Best quality is his watchword and honest treatment to all. Mr. Ligon handles a great many fancy canned goods from California, makes a specialty of fine New York candies, does a large roasted coffee trade, besides a general fancy imported grocery line. Mr. Ligon shows great taste in the decoration of his windows, and nowhere in the State will you find a prettier store, a more complete stock, or a more gentlemanly man to do business with than "'Dick" Ligon." Last Friday night the usually quiet little town of Williamston experienced a sensa? tion, and as a result a young negro named Heyward Welborn is now occupying a cell in the Anderson Jail. It happened about 10 o'clock, wben Miss Duckworth, a daughter of Mr. S, J. Duckworth, one of Wi'.liamston's most prominent citizens, went to her room upstairs, to retire for the night. Before getting in bed she hap? pened to look under it, when she was hor? rified to find a negro man lying there, partially wrapped in a blanket. She began screaming, which attracted the attention of her father, who hastened to her rescue, thinking the house was on fire. As Mr. Duckworth was climbing the stairway he met the negro, who had become alarmed and was making his escape. Recognizing the negro as Welborn, who was in his em? ploy, Mr. Duckworth paid no attention to him and went on to bis daughter's room. On hearing the facts he immediately went out and, calling several neighbors to his assistance, began a rigid search for the black 6end, who was found about midnight at his brother's house in the village. The brute surrendered without resistance and made a confession, in which he admitted that he stole into the young lady's room, that his intentions wero the worst, and that he had torn part of the blanket into a strip, with which be intended to bind and gag her as soon as she was asleep. It was with considerable difficulty that a lynch? ing was prevented and the negro commit? ted to jail. It is reported that he was se? verely whipped, some saying that he re? ceived five hundred lashes on his bare back, but this is an exaggeration. Rev. J. N. Brownlee is a colored Metho? dist preacher and has been the pastor in charge of Deep Creek Circuit, this County. Last Thursday he visited Anderson, and during the day went iuto the store of C. F. Jones & Co. and asked to look at some clothing. The courteous salesman inyited him to walk up stairs, where he would take pleasure in showing him tho cloth? ing. In a short time Brownlee found a suit that pleased his eye. The coat and vest were of the* right size, but the pants would not fit him. The salesman then walked down to the lower end of the counter, and, with his back to the preacher, began searching a drawer for a larger pair of pants. The temptation was too great. The preacher saw his opportu? nity, and in a twinkling concealed the coat and vest under his overcoat. Of course this act made him restless, and he was anxious to get out as soon as possible. Tho salesman became a little suspicious, and, after investigation, found that the coat and vest were uot where he had left them. He eyed the preacher very closely, and, seeing a coat sleeve hanging down under the overcoat, approached him and told him to give up the coat. The negro handed it out and asked to bo allowed to pay for it. A policeman was called and took charge of him. On Friday morning Brownleo was brought before Mayor Tolly on a charge of petit lurceny, and pload guilty. The Mayor fined him ?25 or thirty days on the streets. By giving a mortgage on his personal property, he secured the monoy and paid the tine. In a conversation Brownlee said: "My Churches havn't been paying me my sal? ary, and doy is responsible for dis scrapo I'se got in- I jus' dont know what made me tako dat coat. I 'spose I Haw do op? portunity and the old Devil jist made me take it."* Brownlee has been reported to his Presiding Elder, who has suspended him from his work. Qnarterly Ooniorence.

X. M. Kmersox, G. P. A., Wilmington, N. C. Allx. McBj:n, Jr.,, Soliciting Agent, Greenville, S. C. }()<>iifh of Mr. Jlrown. Elijah Webb Brown died at his resi? dence, in this city, on last Saturday night between 11 and 12 o'clock, after au illness of about a week's duration. Mr. Brown was born on the 12th of February, 1839, and was in tho tifcy-third year of his life at the time of his death. He was the }'oungest son of tho late Dau iel Brown by bis first wife. Before he attained his majority he entered the mer? cantile business in this city, and for over thirty years linked his fortunes with the prosperity of Anderson. At the beginning of the late war he entered the service of tho State, and faithfully discharged his duties as a Southern soldier through the entire war. At tho close of the war he again entered the mercantile business hero, and was, up to the time of his decease, one of Ander? son's most useful and prominent mer? chants. Ho was for several years a mem? ber of the firm, of Bleckley, Brown & Fretwell, until three years ago he with? drew from that firm to enter business with his son and son-in-law, B. W, Brown, Jr., and S. D. Brownleo. This he did under the firm name of E. W. Brown &Sons. By his iss?2iitable energy and attention to business he had raised aud educated a large family, and had accumulated around him a nice property. Ho had $1,000 in? surance on his life. *A wife and nine chil? dren are left to griove for a most tender and devoted husband and fathor. There are few people in this County who did not know "Lige" Brown, as he was familiarly known. And not one who was ever associated with him in business or social relations failed early to learn to love and admire him. He was rightly regard? ed one of tbe best business men that ever lived in Anderson. Mr. Brown was a progressive, Jive citizen, aud was very much liked by the young men, for whom ho always had a pleasant word of good advice and encouragement. He was for many years prior to his death a member of the Presbyterian Church. Anderson has lost one of her best citi zenB, and one whoso place will be hard to fill. Many aets of charity fell from his hands that were not known to tbe outside world. It is hard, yes impossible, to cal? culate the loss the community sustained by tho death of such a man "Owing to the absence of a son and daughter in the West, who did not reach Anderson until Tuesday evening, the fu? neral did not take place until Wednesday morning. The services were held in the Presbyteiian Church at 11 o'clock, and wore conducted by the pa3tor, Dr. Frier son, in the presence of a large congrega? tion of friends and relatives. At the con? clusion of the services, the remains were laid to rest in tbe Churchyard. Holland's Store Items. How it does rain ! The people down here are not all well of the grip yet.

The benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance nave recently had at least two striking exemplifications in this county in the deaths of Messrs. De Witt C, Holcomb and S. B. Brownlee. Each of these two had only paid an annual premium and settlements were promptly made as soon as the necessary papers were made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Newark, N. J., which is represented in the Fork by G. N. C. Boleraan, and in this city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the strongest and most reliable companies, be? ing in its 46th year of existence and hav? ing 50 millions of assets. It deserves special mention for its prompt settlements, having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's claim within ten days from the time proof was made. "DelayB are Dangerous."?Every one should promptly attend to this important matter and thereby protect their wives and children, in case of death, from the dread? ful inconvenience of poverty.
