Mr. J.- Bembert Hriwolf
this State five or six years ago for
Texas, is getting into trouble out
there. Some time ago while drinking
in Galveston he boasted that he had
killed a negro in South Carolina. The
polie at once arrested him, and tele
gaedto Charleston for particu
lars.- He was set at liberty upon the
informlation that he had been tried in
Sumter for the offence and had been
acquitted. In another carousal, in
another paea few days ago, he
boasted ththe bad stolen an elec
tion box in Suinter county. He was at
oncearrestedfor thisoffence, but there
is no such charge .against him, and
the police 'will of course let him go
again. Harvin is a brilliant young

A FEARFUL TRAGEDY.
Particulars from Summerton Steam Mill
Explosion.
SuXrmo r, February 26.-Yes
terday between 10 and 11 o'clock
A. N., at the steam mill of Messrs.
Ingram & Ragin, our little communi
ty was the scene of the most horrible
tragedy in its whole history. Your
correspondent was at his place of bus
iness, in company with Mr. Wesley
Richbourg, when we were startled by
a fearful report which shook the
building in which we were standing.
We at first thought of powder, bet
the prolonged hissing noise caused by
the escap' steam located it at once,
and we ew that there had been an
explosion at the mill, some 300 yards
distant. The momentary deathlike
ter-stllness, when every ear was
strained for what was to come, was
soon broken by the heartrending cry:
"Mr. Ingram is killed!"
Hoping that in the confusion there
might be some mistake, I rushed on
soon arriving upon a scene that beg
gars description. The gin house and
mill shed were a mass of debris: The
boiler, with a huge piece torn out
from the top nearly one-third its
length, was lying upon its side, the
T ENGINM ECWN TWENTY YARDS.
engine some twenty feet away broken
into a hundred pieces. This was tak
en in at a glance. Fearful that the
worst might be true, the question,
"Where is John ?" was put with heart
in my throat. I was pointed to a
spot where my eye rested upon a mass
of unrecognizable human flesh and
TEE BODY TERRIBLY MUTILATED.
bones. One limb, severed at the hip
joint, striped of every particle of
clothing save shoe and sock, was ly
ing several feet away, bruised and
broken from the to thigh. Doubled up
around the dome of the boiler was
the remainder of what a few'moments
before constituted the noblest make-up
I have met in the shape of man. It
was feared that his head had also been
blown off as it could not be seen any
where but upon removing some par
cels of clothing that were still cling
ing to his body we found portions of
scalp to which were attached parts of
the upper and lower jaws, half of one
eyebrow, and a corner of the eye and
nostrils. Every particle of the skull
bone was gone.
We tenderly gathered together
what was left and placed them upon
a sheet to .be transferred to the coffin
as soon as one could be obtained.
Although painfully injured and suf
fering a geat deal, Mr. A. P. Ragin
gave a very intelligent account of the
affair up to the beginning of the ca
tastrophe. His attention had been
directed by the engineer to a suspic
A5 DEFETIVE BOI.ER.
ious crack in the boiler, and upon Mr.
Ingram's arrival he carried him to the
place and began to show him the dan
ger attending the firing of the engine
in that condition. Mose yones and
Tham Gaillard, both colored, were
standing near themn. All at once the
steam began to open, and boiling
water and steam began violently to
escape, and they all acting upon one
impulse began to try to escape. Mr.
Bgin and the negroes retreated, but
Mr. Inrmdashed forward, which
threw 'i between the boiler and the
^ngne. The fragment of the boiler,
to which was attached the dome, split
from the off side and was hurled vio
lently on against the engine carrying
Mr. Ingram along with the whole.
OTHERS IN3UBED.
Mr. Bagin is painfully and perhaps
seriously injured. It is feared that he
will lose one of his eyes, besides his
throat is badly scalded.
Mfose Jones's injuries are very pain
ful, and may be fataL Tsham Gaillard
was slightly scalded, besides being
badly cut over one eye and on one
hand.
The most touching testimonial to
John Ingram's worth was given by
the immense crowd of negroes who
even begged to be albwed to do
something for him.~ One poor fellow
-in John's employ-cae to me with
broken voice, saying he was complete
ly broken up, he had lost his best
friend. To say what we have lost is
a hopeless task. AXo.
John C)onyers. Ingram.
John Conyers Ingram was one of
the most prominent and popular men
of Clareudon, and his sad and terri
ble death is a severe loss to the couin
ty. He was the eldest son of the late
Dr. John I Ingram, and was about
forty-four years of age. He was bar
ied in this place yesterday, his funeral
sermon being preached in the Presby
terian churcb, after which he was
buried in the Manning Cemetery with
Knights of Pythias honors.'
Jadl Brner Dead.
Calvin McFaddin, the negro who
burnt the county jail in 1880, and
who was sentenced in June, 1881, to
life imprisonment in the penitentiary,
has, on account of ill health (dropsy),
been' granted a free and uncondition
al pardon by Gov. Richardson. He is
now with his uncle, Stephen McFad
din, in Salem, in a dying condition,
and cannot last many days longer.
Since the above was in type we are
informed that Calvin McFaddin died
last Saturday night.
Mr. John Haynsworth, son of Maj.
W. F. B. Iayneworth, of Sumter, was
dangerously hurt last Thurs y, while~
attempting to mount a Te pny in
Smter. The pony threw up his
head, striking Mr. Haynsworth's head,'

FORESTON ON A BOOM.
New School-200 Bushels Corn to the
Acre-Other Matters.
FoBESTON, Feb. 26.-Hurrah! congratulate
us, Mr. Editor, and ye readers of the Trams,
for we have at last succeeded in getting a
teacher, and the Foreston Academy will re
open on Monday next under most favorable
auspices. The new principal is a pratical
teacher, he having been engaged- in that
line for a number of years. He is from
Orangeburg; has a family whom he brings
among us; thereby assisting in building up
our town. Foreston is on a boom; let those
who wish to educate their children cheaply
apply to Prof. A. W. Black, of the Foreston
Academy.
Bomb! bomb! bomb! sounds the dyna
mite and out comes the stump to make room
for that 200 bushels of corn which is go
ing to be made on that one acre of Foreston
land this year. One of our corn makers
informs us that he is in fair way to procure
the variety of seed corn desired, and will
then surely enter the ring for that $500.
Oh! Foreston is on a boom. There is noth
ing she is afraid to attempt which can be
accomplished by other sections.
Had two interesting sermons yesterday
by Rev. Wm. Carson.
Think somebody is mistaken about Dr.
Nettles moving. He is doing too well here

Another snow for 1889.
The snow last Thursday was gene
ral all over the State. In Charleston
only a few flakes fell, but in the wes
tern part of the State it was from one
to three feet deep. Here it was about
three inches deep. It did not stay
long, however, as it was intermingled
with rain and sleet, and a heavy rain
Thursday night melted it all away.
We are having peculiar weather.
The ground is so wet all over the
county that it seriously interferes
with farming operations. It is pre
dicted that we will have a good crop
year. Well, if a bad beginning is
any indication, it ought to be an ex
cellent crop year.
