South Carolina lias lost n noble, patriotic. and upright son. I lie (lentil of ('ol. Marshall occurred al Rul falo Lithia Springs, Virginia, where, lie went about I en days ago, and (he news was received here tonight. Co.l Marshall Js Catnilv are at Mars 11 ill, NT. C., and no arrangements for (lie funeral have been made, bill I he burial will take place at Co- 1 lutnhia. : Col. Marshall had been in ill health for several years suffering from kid- ! ney (rouble and rheumatism, and his heart was involved; so that it was known in himself and to his friends ' thai lie might at any time die sud- ' denly. Nevertheless as his health had recently been excellent, the news 1 of his death is a shock. 1 ( ol. Marshall is the type of citizen 1 that can he ill spared. .lust now he ' "was engaged in a most important work for Columbia, as lie was chairman of (he street commission, which * is s|niggling with the problem of pav- 1 ing Main street, and he had gone into ' this work with his charactcrislic en- ' ergy and courage. The father of Quitman Marshall was I h<> gallant .1. Kosler Marshall, of 1 Abbeville, who fell at Hie first hal- ' tie nl Manassas. Quitman Marshall ; was luirii in Abbeville, bill had lived 1 in Columbia since early manhood. f|e ' was serving : -> magistrate in Coliuu- ' hia when Wade I lampion was elected ' \ eruor, ami il was lie who administered Hie unlli of itflice to Gen. llainploti us governor. Young Marshall had done fine service in the 1 f:i111111o11 campaign, lie was at that lime prominent in the local militia, and in social circles in Columbia, lie ua~> :i | >| ii >i i i i ci| by (inventor li'iclifird-on lo serve an unexpired !erm as 1 secretary of Slate. ,\ f|er the advent of the I illman admimsf raf ion lie rota: mil in (lie practice -f 1 nv in Cobo 'bia, ami was verv s*iccessfiil nf. H.e bar. lie was I he fir-l president and one of flic orgauibers of the, eoinapny which buill the I'irsl electric i ilif.ail in Columbia, wiiich was t tir.'! operated by hor.-.i* cars, llis fight to in:iiii 1 ain this company was one nl liis most signal services to this city, and required ability of Hie lir>! order. In 1 SMS ('nl. Marshall was elected J to i lie Slate senate from Richland county, ami was reelected in 1JHV2 without opposition, lie was not a candidate for a third term. Ibiring his service in the senate lie was made chairman of the commission lo complete the Slate house and only within the last lew mouths did he complete his work, the commission being continued in power for several years. He developed the mailer which was brought out in connection with the work done on the capitol under the supervision of Architect Milhurn, which was a sensation al the lime. llis work in this Stale house commission was another charactcrisl ic service rendered the Slate. When the street commission resigned scv- I eral months ago. Col. Marshall was elected to one of the positions on the commission by city council, and was then made chairman and had devoted j much lime to this work since thai j lime, lie was chairman ?f the commission appointed by (Soveruor I lev- | ward lo erect I lie c<|ucsfraiu statue j to Wade llainplon. and the inagni- I ficenl figure of the great warrior and political leader, which stands on the. eapilol grounds is likewise a monument to the tasle and patriotism of Quitman Marshall. Col. Marshall is survived by his wife, who is a daughter of Capt. J. IT. H rooks, of Greenwood, and by several children. RIDING A SNOW WAVE. A Boy's Experience of Fcril in a Western Storm. I his slory was (old in a letter received by a boy friend from his brother, who had gone west and obtained employment in a camp of railway builders in the Sn.N^e Kiver Pass. "Three weeks ago we moved up here, 0,fi(>0 feet, above sea level. We are blowing rook cuts along the side of a dizzy canon. Camp is on one side. Hie work on the other now, and we cross hack and forth on a bridge made of rope over a narrow gorge. It s tcelery business, and no more than six men are allowed to cross at. a time. ".Tusf now we tire working at a rock cut thai's more than a hundred feet on the upper slope, and there is no slope on the other side, just n road bed eighteen feet wide at the; hoi toni. nw i "" " We throw a thousand tons of rock do over into tlie canon at a shot, when' our foreman, old Joe Rogers, pushes go 1 h<! of his battery. We load in, eighteen or twenty holes which wc so have drilled Ion or twelve; fool deep, ni\ putting twenty-five pounds of black sii powder into each hole. m> "The powder goes into a pocket n>< which is blown in llio bottom of the hole by I he use of slick dynamite. ? ( Then an ex plod imr* cap attached lo a ' , wire is lowered lo I lie powder, and the hole is lamped with dust and sand. The loose end of the wire is ' " then attached lo a lead wire which " conneds with an electric battery, and n" "II 'be shots are sent off at once. "It rained hard all last Wcdncs- <,rc ilnv and while it was raining and "" Mowing in camp, it was snowing and blowing overhead, a fact which we j I id n I sul licienlly realize in our lrencbed quarters. R?I "A blast had been ready to fire, n,< ?r nearly so, when the rain stopped is from work, and Thursday morn- no ng everybody but the cook and two !'1( if us who had been detailed to out ivood wore hustled out on the works. "A lellow named Quin Dawson n'" iml I wore sol lo chop close to the r01 lower edge of camp. Wc wore mak- <l:,( lug the chips fly when we heard old foe's voice rolling across the canon: I !, ""Ware all! Matlor.v! Baltery!' . "So we run out of flic woods near r|,j Ifi I ho. lirsl I on Is lo look across and j nvor into I be canon. Tl's quite a . ' sight from the camp side to see bis; .> rocks go bowling into Hie" gulch, knocking over trees, hilling up puffs ! >1 dust 111:ii spur! out like llie smoke 1 >f cannon shols. Kvery big bump i sounds like a cannon shot, loo. I hey had in heavy chariros in a 1 ^ *' ~ l-mounlain. even on our side. We saw a mighty upheaval of dust Mr >lone and lell the shock under our "" feel, and I hen (lie echo of the shot ami flic cla 11? r of rocks was drowned in a higher roar thai sounded high over our heads. j '"I "Quin, who had been silling ?.?. i lf' si olio, .jumped lo bis feel and yelled: 'Slide! Slide! Snowslido !'" j tin "And I lien lie ran for Hie woods !CS( back of us. I was paralyzed for lhojW:l mi11iiIe, and I hen a big while wave M I si ruck llie camp in front of me.
