He had oeeu ill only a few da>a. He was stricken with pneumonia, and this attack, combined !th a trouble of the heart, hastened 'eath. Sullivan was born ?:{years ago ner Township, and was u ?on of *o Kelley .Sullivan. When the me on ho joined the Palmetto .en and went to the front. He ti.ed throughout the entire four 'ears and made a faithful and brave soldier. He became a neigeant of Iii? company before the elo.se of tin; war. After the surrender Mr. Sullivan re turned to Anderson and engaged in the mercantile business under the name ot .J. I\ Sullivan vV Co. This firm continued in successful operation until a few years ago when ho retired from business. Mr. Sullivan was a man of the high est integrity, always upright and pin cere in all hi* dealings, lie was mar ried to Miss Lizzie Vnndiver, and she, with the following children, survives him: Misses Mary and Meta Sullivan and Kobert and Harold Sullivan. A Hon, J. A. Sullivan, died about two years ago. The tuneral services were held Mon day afternoon at the family residence, being conducted by Rev. J. I>. Chap man, I). I)., tho pastor of the deceased. The interment took place immediately afterwards in Silver Brook cemetery. Tragic Suicide of J. K. Breazeale. Bel ton, S. C, Jan. IT.?With a rope about the neck, the cold, lifeless body of J. K. Brenzeale was found uium' 2 o'clock yesterday in a barn in the rear of his residence at Helton. The ver dict of the coroner's jury, which was summoned later in the evening, de clared that tho man took his own life. Mr. Breazeale had been in ill health for some time. His disease had affect ed his mind to such tin extent that he became despondent und brooded con tinually over his troubles, it is sun posed, iu fact, there can bo no doubt that in u moment of abject melan cholia he decided to end his life und tuit upon the plan of death by strangu lation. ; , Mr. Breazeale left the houso about 11 o'clock in the morning, and not see tug him at dinner. Mrs. Breazeale be came uiicatty ami liH^nn n. search for ! her husband. She told neighbors of ' her tears and others joined iu tho ?eurch. After several hours of nux iety, lier worst fears were realized when some of tho children, who wore assisting in the search, came upon Mr. Brenzeale's body suspended ou a rope, one end of which wus li ved in a noose about his neck and the other tied to a beam in tho roof of the building. It is supposed that Mr. Breazeale ilrst placed the rope about his neck, then climbed up to the rafters, where he made the other end secure. He then jumped from the timber and in a few moments all was over. Life was ex tinct. The funeral will take place in Helton this afternoon, and the inter ment will be in the cemetery. Besides his wife, Mr. Breazeale leaves three children, all of whom are grown, one of them a sou, being engaged in busi ness in Texas. He was about 55 years of age, and thoroughly respected by ?11 who knew him. He leaves a large number of relatives, many of whom are in 3elton and Anderson County. Mr. Brezeale married a daughter of the late Alfred Campbell. Bold Robbery at Wiliiaraston. 'Williamston. January 18.?A bold and daring robbery occurred right in the heart of the town between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning when the post office building was entered through the front window and the safe contain - ing money, stamps and valuable paprra belonging to B. F. Russell, postmas ter, waB blown to pieces by some ex plosive and robbed of its contents. About $50 in cash and $75 wv.ch of stamps was secured by the robbers. However, they overlooked $51 in bills and this amount waa fonnd in the de bris on the floor of the office this morn ing. JB. M. Ljftsdv-. cashier of the Bank of Willi? m ?fcon, who rooms across the street within fifty yards of the scene of the robbery, was awaken ed by the explosion and upon hearing it he went to the front piazza, opened the door aud stepped outside of his room, when he heard a voice at the postoffice building calling the name "Jim, Jim, come on," in very exoiting tones, when a moment later three men came hurriedly from the building and rushed down the Southern Railway from town. Soon afterwards blood honnds were brought over from Pelzer and every* thing posaibIg was done to strike a trail, ont without snccesB, and the robbery seems as much a mystery as it commited by a power of magic A hand hammer, evidently the property of some neighboring black smith and an old piece of steel buggy spring were found in the postoffloe this morning, and it was with these tools that the combination of the door of the sa'ie waa broken off, when the explosives were applied to the opening with perfect success. This is the third case of robbery in exactly the same manner in William eton during the past few years, and the guilty parties in neither case have ever been brought to justice. The Eostoffice authorities at Washington ave been notified and expert deteo tives may rnn these scoundrels in vory .?oon.?Special to Greenville News. Postoffice Robbers Arreited. 'Columbia, Jan. -15 ?Christopher, tho brother of Rudolph Habens, both ot whom the Federal Grand Jury here yesterday indicted in two caseB of postoffice robbery in this State, was arrested in Charleston today deputies leaving here last night for that pur pose. Rudolph was arrested in Charles ton several weeks ago. but is out on a bond of $5,000. Judge lirawley has tixtd the bond in each of the twocaaea against Rudolph at $2,500. so that he will likely nut be bothered about his liberty until the Charleston term of court in April, when it is expected that he and his brother will be tried for conspiracy and breaking into and stealing from two postoffioes in thia State. ThH Hubens are Charleston German grocers,, who went there from Watballa. to widen toon they irutni ?rared irow. the- old conutry.. Tfcey jgot into bail company, it la thought, through their connection with the old Star Exposition theatre, where thoy 'became intimately associated with eorao swift citizens, both male and fe - anale. By tho time the case' is ready for trial in Charleston, it is likely that n number of other arrests will have , been made. * v.

Death of a Noble Young Man. On the night of December HI, as tho old year wan going out nud the new one coming in, the sweet and gentle spirit of Warren, tho second son of Mr. Moses Hall, took its liight to the haven of rest. Only a few weeks did God, in His all-wise providence, allow him to suffer before fie sent the death angel to bid him leave this world of borrow and come to the mansion above, which had been prepared for him. God needed one more sweet llower to bloom in Heaven, but how ead and lonely their home and hearts are with out him, how they miss his smiling face and soft footsteps. Only three weeks ago he and bis younger brother left for Safford, Arizona, searching for health, but little did his friends and loved ones think so aoon would his body be brought back for burial. Hut God kuoweth whb.Ua best. Mr. Hall's body reached the city on Saturday, the 7th, and was cuiiied to Eureka Church tor interment, i)?. a. I?. Chapman conducting the survie*;? with a large number attending. Ho leaves a lather, two brothers and four sisters to cher m h his memory, be sides a host of friends and relatives. God help tho family to aoy, "It is the Lord's way, His will bo done," for God knoweth and do'eth what is best for them that lo\o thb Lord. Wo can say he is sleeping, sweetly sleeping Ina new-made grave today, We are weeping, sadly weeping For a dear one gone away, Ono by one the Lord will call us As our labors here are done, And then, as wo cross the river, We may meet Him one by one. Mr. Hall was a kind and gentle Christian, young man and all who knew him, loved him and sorry to learn of his sad death, but we will strive to meet him up in heaven. A Friend. Brushy Creek News.
