The origin of the fire is an known- The insurance was 91,200." Mr. McCullough's friends in Anderson Coun? ty will regret to hoar of his loss. It is estimated that 95,000,000 changed hands as the result of betting on tbe out? come of tbe presidential election. If that amount doesn't include the stakes put up here, then we would Bay tbe figures are too small by several hundred. But, seri? ously, it in astonishing to think that the Amount of money bet on the election was nearly enough to pay the public debt of ?outn Carolina. Anderson celebrated Cleveland's eleu? lion last Friday night with a torchlight procession, a grand display of fireworks and booming of the cannon.

He was ? atting along very well this morning, and it is hoped he will speedily recover. Masked robbers held up a passenger train on the Western & Atlantic Road, near Adairsville, Ga., last Friday night, and wonld have no donbt relieved tbe ex Sress and mail car, but for the bravery of onductor Bell and bis crew. The rob? bers were driven away, but the fight lasted fully five minutes, and more than flfty shots were fired by both sides. The baggage master of the train was Warren wTGuyton, son of Mr. Whit Guy ton, of Hopowell Township, this County. The robbers first entered his car and covered him with their pistols. In a few seconds the Conductor and trainman came into the baggage car and tbe firing commenced. The robbers Jumped from the train, and one of them was shot, but his companions carried him off. All on u?\a esoaped in? jury except the trainman, who was shot in the breast The sermon preached especially to the ' young men in the Methodist Church last Sunday evening by the pastor, Rev. Chas. B. Smith, was listened to by a very large congregation. The text was taken from the 29tb verse of the 18th chapter of 2nd Samuel, "Is the young man Absalom safe," The sermon throughout was cer? tainly interesting and Instructive, and the ideas advanced and advice given were quite original. Mr. R. S. Ligon met with a painful ac? cident last Monday morning. He was on ' bis way to his farm, riding horseback, and I while crossing a small bridge his horse i fell through. Mr. Ligon was thrown to the ground ani bis horse fell partly on him, catching bis right leg and severely wrenching his loet.

Tbe city fathers met last Monday night to elect a policeman to fill tbe vacancy caused by tbe death of Mr. John D. Da? vid. The l'st of applicants was a long one. Mr. W. B. King was the successful candi? date. Mr. King has bad much experience in this office and will doubtless make a good officer. He bad many friends who were glad to know that be bad been re? instated to bis old position. Tbe "gro? cery" in "Happy Hollow" is now closed. Tbe ''Big Groceryman" has been meta morphosod into the "Big Policeman." And be is happy. We have on onr table a copy of tbe pre? mium List of tbe Anderson County Poul? try and Pet Stock Association, which will have its fimt annual exhibit in this city on December 29 and 30. The officers of the Association, are T. B. Lee. Jr., President and Secretary, and J. L. Jolley, Secretary and Treasurer. Dr. 8. T. Lea, President of the South Carolina Poultry and Pet Stock Association, has been engaged to Jndge tbe show- Messrs. Lee and Jolly are deeply interested in the Anderson County Association, and they deserve the encouragement of all onr citizens in mak? ing it a success. Mr. J. D. Redwine, chairman of the Board of County Commissioner!) of Hall County, Ga., was in the city last; Friday, and we b:id a pleasant call from him. Mr. Kedwi-19 is an old newspaper man, having edited tho Gainesville (Ga ) Eagle up to a few years ago. The reputation of the Anderson County farm and homo for the poor and afflicted of our County had reached his ears and he came over to see it and to learn bow it was managed. He was in tbe bands of Chairman McGill, who, in bis usual kind and courteous manner, took him to tbe farm and gave him all the information possible. Of course he was more than pleaded with tbe institution, as every stranger who visits it is. Late Saturday afternoon a negro girl, about 10 years of age, was accidentally shot and instantly killed by a negro boy of tbe same age. It happened on Mr. J. S. Fowler's place, in Centerville Town? ship. Coroner Nance went out there Sun? day morning and held an inquest. From the testimony heard at the inquest, it ?eems tbe children were alone in the house. The boy picked up a gun and went out in the rare, to shoot a bird. The girl followed him. The boy cocked tbe gun but did not fire it. As ho was in the act of letting the hammer down, the girl walked in front of him and tbe ham? mer slipped, and tbe whole load of shot entered her aide, miking a torrrible wound. Married, on Thursday, November 10. 1892, by Rev. T. C. O'Doll, at the residence of the bride's father, at Central, S. C, Dr. L. Thomp. Shirley and Miss Lucia Gaincs, both of Centrai. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple boarded the train and came to Anderson and spent several days with the groom's parents and other relatives in Broadaway Township. Dr. Shirley has been a resi? dent of Central for several years, and is one of the most popular and successful physicians in that section. He is a worthy, modrl young man, and baa been fortunate in his selection of a wife, who is a most charming and excellent vourjg lady. May tbe richest blessings of Heaven attend them through life. Rev. Chas. B. Smith, pastor of tbe Methodist Church in this city, will preach his farewell sermon next Sunday morn? ing. He has served tbe Church here four years, and, under the rules of tbe Confer? ence, he will have to go to another field. During Mr. Smith's stay in Anderson he has done a most success] ul work in his Church, and has continued to grow stronger in the love and esteem of notonly his own congregation but of our whole people, who reget to see him leave Ander? son. In the pnlpit be never fails to inter? est and instruct, and on the street or in tbe family circle he is a most congenial com? panion. He never fails to make a friend of every acquaintance, and tbe young men especially are always delighted to meet hin. In leaving Anderson Mr. Sm Lh and bis family carry with them the best wishes of onr people. The Harri man (Tenn.) Daily Advance seems to be confident of the success of the Harriman & Port Royal Railroad, which will follow tbe old Blue Bidge Route to Walhalla, thence to Anderson and on to Port Royal. Here is what the Advance says: "Harriman is taking a lively inter? est in railroads just now, and several rail? road builders are also taking a lively in? terest in Harriman. This Is a desirable point for business; we are in one of the great commercial pathways of the coun? try.: this has long been a junction of two of tbe great railway systems of the South, and it will be the crossing place for rail? road lines quartering tbe country. Rail? road men build roads for the money there is in them; to earn money they must have freight and passenger traffic, and a manufacturing center like Harriman affords both. Already this point is the most important, measured by number of passengers and amount of freight bandied, anywhere on the Cincinnati Southern between Cincinnati and Chattanooga. And business is growing rapidly. Other roads will come, and the "thunder dragon of progress" will make musical the wild canyon of the Big Emory. We shall have the shortest route to the sea in the Harri? man & Port Royal, a road that is oertain to be built and that will open to us a vast region of diversified wealth. At a recent meeting of the directors of tbe road the following officers were elected: President, A. E. P. Rockwell; Vice-President, Ja tries McDowell; Secretary, Daniel Denny; Treasurer, J. D. Roberts; Manager, R. H. Fitzhugb." Tbe Leesburg (Fla.) Commercial, in re? ferring to the marriage of Mr. A. Stiven? der, of that town, and Miss Minerva Drake, of this County, which we chroni? cled last week, gives the following account of tbe reception tendered the couple at their home in Leesburg: "Mr. and Mrs. Stivender arrived in Leesburg on tbe Florida Southern train Tuesday afternoon. They were met at the depot by Mr. Bar? ney Daniel and a host of friends with carriages and were driven to Mr. Stiven der's orange grove home north of town where a large party of relatives and friends were congregated to welcome him and his accomplished bride. Mr. Harry Edwards and his estimable wife had caused to be spread for the occasion a banquet that would have satisfied Epi? curus himself had he been tbere. Tbe toasts of the evening were by Capt. E. J. M. Padgett and Mr. Daniel. The captain said: Ai bonsy from the sweotost sowars Of orange and palmetto Defies ail other sweets In power From heights none others get to Mar Bweetaess from their lives combined In blissful matrimony Enable doubting onea to find The flowers that mako the honey. Mr. Daniel spoke next as follows: 'Mrs. Stivender, allow me to say that I am a true friend to Mr. Stivender and I believe that I know him well. In view of that fact, I wish you and him a long and happy life. May your pathway be straight, even and smooth, with no rough and uneven places to cause discords, nor acute angles to create family jars, but may it be strewn with the sweetest of thorniest roses, and may your future life be ever happy and bright. Madam, yon have won a diamond (rongh hewn tho' he may be) he is true and pnre. Wear him and be proud of him, for he is one of God's noblest pieces of? work, an honest, up? right, Christian gentleman.' A warm welcome is accorded Mrs. Stivender by Mr. Stivender's friends in Leesburg, and they are many." j2W Go to Stokes Bros, for your Choice Confectioneries.

SEEL, West End Hotel Chiquola^ A Wedding lb the Pre?byt-:>rlaa Church* On Tuosday at 12.30 o'clock a boautiful marriage was solemnized in the Presby? terian chnrch. Mis3 Mary Norris and Mr. Julius H. Anderson wore united in the holy bonds by the pastor, Dr. Fxier son. The attendants were Mr. Pearson and Miss Anderson, Mr. Anderson and Miss Pearson, Mr. Barr and Miss Poolo. Tho nshers were Messrs. Hall, Fant, Saddler and Russell. Two pretty little girls acted as flower girls. Tbe pulpit was tastefully deoorated and Dr. Frierson stood in front of it. As the wedding march bpgan the ushers led the way to tho altar. They wore followed by the attendants, who proceeded the young couple who wore soon to be de? clared husband and wife. The couples arranged themselves grace? fully around the altar, the contracting couple taking a position just in front of tho officiating minister. The ceremony was clear, simple and brief. This being finished, the party repaired to their car? riages and were driven to the depot. The bridal couple left for a trip to Columbia and other places. Miss Norris is the youngest daughter of Col. J. W. Norris, and is possessed of tbe qualities that distinguishes the typi? cal Southern girl and marks her a queen wherever she is seen and known. Mr. Anderson is a sterling young man, ad? mired by all who know him, and is a suc? cessful farmer. We voice the sentiment of their friends in wishing for them a fulfillment of all tbe blessings pronounced upon them. Official Figaros.

Tbe testimony taken by Coroner Nance in tbe pott mortem examinations of the dead bodies of Columbus A. Glenn and J. R. Carter is given below. A Jury composed of J. S. Fowler, Fore? man, W. H. Wright, John Wright, Heury Ho well, Ham Moore, J. J. Coker, J. A. Manning, Peter Phillips, T. B. Wright, John Sammons, J. K. Harper and George Palmer heard the evidence as to the means by which Columbus Glenn was slain, and their verdict was that he came to his death "by a gun shot wound from tbe hands of Robert Carter." The Jury that heard the evidence in the case of Carter was as follows: W. McD. Cochran, Foreman. J. H. Howell, T. B. Wriirht, S. E. Strickland, J. H. Wright, G. W. Palmer, J. E. Anderson, Peter Phillips, John Sammons, J. T. Harper, J. A. Manning and J. H. Burr. Their ver? dict was, "that J. R. Carter came to bis drath from run shot wounds in tbe hands of Jimmie Earle." Mr. J- W. Earle died from the effects of the wound he received in tbe fight on tbe following evening at about 5o'cloek. No inquest was held over his body. The negro, Henry Holland, who was wounded on that occasion seems to be im? proving. The evidence herewith given was given under oath by witnesses of the difficulty, and is doubtlesB tbe most correct account of the whole matter that can be secured. All other reports that are not authorita? tive must give place to tbe evidence sub? mitted to the Coroner'a inqueBt. TESTIMONY OVER THE BODY OP COLUM? BUS OLK .NX. I find on examining the body of C. A. Glenn a penetrating wound apparently gun shot, entering the upper left thorax and severing the inomanato artery, the wound necessarily fatal in its results. R. G. WlTHERSPDON, M. D. A. M. Bailey said: I am acquainted with the deceased. On yesterday after 2 o'clock p. m. I came down to Holland's Store, a precinot where they were voting. Mr. Glenn and a good many more men were there. Mr. Glenn and I were talking on the baek piazza. Jimmie Earle and Robt. Carter and several other men were present. All got up and walked tbe piazza towards the store door, Mr. Glenn following behind. I saw Mr. Csrter lump off, or was pushed off, I don't know which, on the ground. He, Carter, pulled a pistol out of his pocket and fired in the crowd towards Mr. Earle. I heard no loud words and was too far away to hear distinctly any words that were spoken. Mr. Earle pulled out his pistol and fired at Carter. He missed Carter. S;:w the bullet hit the ground behind Carter. Carter fired again in the crowd. Saw Mr. Glenn throw up his hands, stagger back a few steps, fall on bis face saying, "My God, men, I am killed!" I am certain that tbe tecoud shot that Carter fired caused the death of C. A. Glenn. Baylis Cooley said: I am acquainted with C. A. Glenn. The first thing I saw of the difficulty Jimmie Earle and Robt. Carter were standing at tbe uteps talking. Carter called Earle a liar. Zarle pushed or knocked Carter oil the piazza, I don't know which: Carter then pulled out his pistol and I think tbe first shot hit Heury Holland. The second shot from Carter killed Glenn. There was no chance for Mr. Glenn to have been shot only from Carter's pistol. TESTIMONY OVER Tin: BODY OP J. B< CARTER. A. M. Bailey said: I am acquainted with Mr. J. R. Carter. When Mr. Career fired the second shot that killed Mr. Glenn, Mr. Jimmie Earle fired tbe second shot at Carter. I think, it hit Carter. Car? ter was moving in a line, I tbink to get a post between him and Earle. At this shot Carter then fired his third shot which shot, I think, bit Jimmio Earle, At this point Baylis Cooley caught Earle and tried to got him to stop. Earle tried to get loose and told Cooley to let him loose and let bim shoot again. By this time Mr. Carter had squatted behind the above mentioned post. Hampton Earle stepped out and made some remarks, I disremem ber what it was, but was addressing Carter in a tolerable loud voice. Carter then fired his fourth shot. Hampton Earle said "Damn him, he has shot me!" I don't know where Earlo went. Carter re? treated around the store by the ohicken coop. Mr. Hampton Earle came out of the store door as I went into the store. I weut through the stoie, thinking I would meet Carter to tell him which way to go as I did not think he was hurt, and I wanted to get him off, as I believed tbe shooting would continue as long as he. Carter, re? mained there. While I was going through the store I heard a shot gun fire once or twice, I am not certain as to twice, but as to hearing one fire. When I got through the store Carter was standing up in the grove apiece from the store with his pistol in his hand. I asked him was he hurt. He said "Yes, I am killed !" I heard an? other report of a gun. I don't know who fired it, but on looking around I saw Hampton Earle with a gun in his hand. If the gun that Hampton Earle had was the guu that I hoard and had been fired in the position that he was holding it when I saw it the contents would have gane in the ground. Carter went to move and fell over on his left side. I then went for Dr. Witherspoon. I suppose Earle and Carter were some twenty yards apart when I heard this last report, I don't tbink that this last mentioned report *rom the gun hit Carter. Henry Brown said: I am acquainted with Carter, the deceased. I was at Hol? land's Store on yesterday fill day and heard the shooting. I saw no shooting, but heard Mr. Jimmie Earle give Mr. Carter the damn lie and saw Jimmie Earle hit Carter at tbe same time. Saw Jimmie Earle have his pistol in his hand and saw Carter open his gripsack. I then went baok into the store-house. I beard the shooting which was pretty constant, but can't say who did tbe shooting. I saw a Remington rifle with tbe stook broken off, but did not see it until after the fracas. I also saw a shot gun in tho store, but I don't know whose gun it was. The shot gun was taken out of the house. Jimmie Earle and Sammie Earlo went out of tho back door scullling over tho shotgun. 1 heard no threat from any one through tho day. Baylis Cooley said: I am acquainted with the deceased. After the hilling of Mr. Glenn, Mr. Jiramia Barlo ?rocl at Mr. Carter. I knocked his hand up which caused the ball to ruiss Carter and etrik tho ground on lha other side of Carter. Then Carter fired tho third shot which, T think, struck Jimmia Earle. After thi.? I cttn't say anything as to results <?! the shooting. Thero was a good deal ol sboot ing done after tho above mentioned, but can't say who did it. I heard no lhr'":tn from any one about any one. I think tbe first shirting of the fuss was concerning some ppeoch Carter had previously made that Jinimie Earle was talking' of. I think the second shot that Jinimie Earle fired hit Carter, but am not positive Dr. K. G. Witherspoon said : Having examined the dead body of J. R. Carter I find a pHnotratiug wound resembling gun shot, entering tho loft side of the abdo? men, pausing diagonally through the ab? dominal cavily to exit on tho right back, or vice versa, the missile pur-ning through several important blood vessels making a wound necessarily fatal, he dying of in? ternal hemorrhage. I also find gun shot wounds in left leg shattering the bonos. Also a number of bird shot in the legs. A Farewell Letter. Editors Intelliobncer : By reason of the law of my Church, my stay in An? derson draws to a close. Four pleasant and profitable years I have spent horo. Tbe place is more of a home to me than any other on earth. My sympathies and my interests are more fully identified with this community than with any other. TheJoyB and sorrows of tbe people of An? derson are mine in a peculiar sense. I desire to thank tbe people for their uniform kindness to me and mine. They have given mo far beyond my deserts, My association with the other denomina? tions has been exceedingly pleasant to me. I can not now recall anything which in the least has marred the pleasure of my intercourse with them. I am indebted to them for every courtesy and for the in? terchange of the heartiest Christian fel? lowship. While there are ties that pecul? iarly attach me to my own denomination, yet within my bosom's core shall live the godl" men and women of the other Churches. I do try to cultivato tbatspirit which recognizes and claims that higher unity which exists over and above minor diversities. I believe the day of denomi? national strife is happily passed. Occa? sionally there is found a fossilized speci? men of the ugly past, who has no adequate conception of the gospel, and thinks to ad? vance it by vituperation and abuse of those who differ with him. I believe in denominations provoking one another? hut "unto love and good works." Let me thank you, Messrs. Editors, for the many courtesies and kindnesses shown me through the columns of the In? telligencer, and for personal kindness? es, and especially one?the free subscrip? tion of your paper during my stay. May the Intelligences ever prosper, and may long life and success attend its Edi? tors. Now, let me bespeak for my successor the samo treatment at the hands of the people which has been given me, which I know you will not be slow to give. And may he contribute vastly more to the well-being of the community than Yours affectionately, Chas. B. Smith. The Thornwell Orphanage. This institution har- had a remarkable history. Beginning with a half dollar, the gift of an orphan, it has doveloped into a little village of cottages for orphans, with buildings for acbool-work, technical training and general care. There are 120 persons residing in it; or phauB from ten different States, (from Massachusetts to Texas, from Michigan to Florida) and eight different denomina? tions. They are gathered together to be cared for and educated. Every child is given an excellent business education and is taught a trade. None are received but needy and deserving orphans. The expense of the Institution this year was about $10.000; this was given in small sums by thousands of individuals. Dependence is placed for this sum, annu? ally needed, on God alone, and on those whom he prompts to give. The Orphan? age was founded by Presbyterians, but not one-third of the children came from that denomination, and gifts are constantly being received from all manner of people and all parts of the world. Rev. Dr. Ja? cobs is the head of tbe Institution. Thanksgiving Day is coming! It is a good time to remember tbe orphans. If yon wish to have a share in this good work, you can send your gift addressed simply to "Thornwell Orphanage, Clin? ton, S. C." If it bad not been for just such gifts as you will send, this school for orphans never oould have been built and were they to cease, it would needs close immediately. It has a nice array of buildings, but every building means just that many more mouths to feed. Helton Item?, Tho merchants of Bolton have decided to closo their stores on Thursday, the 24th inst., and observo "Thanksgiving."

Died, at her homo in Anderson County, S. C, October 27th, after a severe spell of sickness. "AVallic," tho beloved wifo of Dr. R. G. Witherspoon. The deceased was the daughter of Ruling : Elder T. II. and Mrs. E. R. Anderson, membors of Roberts Presbytorian Church. ! Boing born of Christian parents, and care ' fully trained in the doctrines of the Gos? pel, sho earljr gave her heart to tho Saviour, and so unitod with tho church of her fathers. On tho 5th of November, 1370, sho was happily united in marriage to Dr. R. G. Withorspoon who now, together with two sons, ono 12 years old and tho other an infant of only ten weeks, are called to mourn her early departure. She will be greatly missed not only in the home circlo, whero as wife and moth? er, she fulfilled her mission well, presid? ing with grace and ease, and ever shed? ding forth from her cheerful manner, the light of h?r Christian lifo, but also in the church of which she was a faithful and consistent member, and tho community in which sho resided. Sho loved the church and her heart was in every good work. Sho was conspicuous for her deeds of kindnoss, and for her works of love. Tho poor and the aged will greatly miss her sympathizing spirit and thought? ful attention. Tho great desiro of her lifo was that her sons might become min? isters of tho Gospel, so that with others they might herald its good tidings of sal? vation to tho perishing world. Surely tho end of such a beautiful and lovely lifo is ono of peace. "How blest the righteous when he dies, Whon sinks a weary soul to rest. How mildly beams his closing eyes, Howgomly leaves the expiring breath." Pastor. Happenings at Cook's. After a beautiful dry Fall rain now ap? pears once a weok, interfering somewhat with the sowing of small grain. During the electric storm on Monday night Mr. Thos. C. Jackson bad the mis? fortune to loie a vory fine porker by a stroke of lightning. Mrs. Carrie E. Gibert, of Abbeville, is viniting ber daughter at this place. Miss Mamie Folger, of Eaaley, Pickens County, assumed charge of the school at this place Monday morning. Sbe had a very loir opening. Miss Folger taught in this County the last year, and comes amoDg us highly recommended. By way of warning, wo advise, if you happen to notice a blacken appearance of tho countenance of Bob Stewart, not to ask him tho cause?he hates to tell. The election at our precinct last Tues? day was as quiet as a funeral, and truly it has since developed to be the funeral in fact of Bennie and Third Parly?but be it said to the discredit of our place and peo ple, that on ibe occasion of the last elec? tion the second and third white Republi? can votes were cast, the first being cast for Garfield. Old Samuel Manedin, the ever faithful colored Republioan was on hands, but as usual Sam placed his tickets in the wrong boxes, and thereby lost his vote. It is not positively known who our white rads were, but it is generally conoeded to bo some of our governmental appointees in the U. S. Mail service, who probably acted on the advice given in a circular Bent out by State Chairman Webster?and now it is so comforting to inform these recent converts to Radicalism that they, their chosen party and Bennie are mOBt hope? lessly in the soup. * ? Mr. Harrison lost his ward, city, countj', State and tho country. He prob? ably lost his old home also, as Northern Indiana shows heavy Democratic gains. Mr. Cleveland carried the town and the State of his birth, bis old home, Buffalo, evory Assembly district in the city in which ho now lives and swept the coun? try in cyclonic fashion.
