I Through the courtesy of Mrs. Brabham, mother of Mr. J. J. Brabham, Jr., of this city, we were permitted to see a few days ago an old s copy of the Barnwell Sentinel, dated 1 May 14th, 1885. In this paper, 1 which we found interesting in many respects, was a true copy of the ordinance of secession, adopted in Charleston ' December 20th, 1860. The ordinance is signed by >D. F. Jamison, a delegate from Barnwell, as president of the convention. The other members of the convention from Barnwell county were Lewis Malone Aver and Maj. J. J. Brabham. New Advertisements. D. J.

No note or message was t by the girl. The suicide lived th her father and mother, in the aurbs and the deed was commitl in a woodshed near the cottage.

Moscow, Jan. 26.?Balacheff, ten ies a millionaire, is dead. He was e of the few selfmade men of Rusand either a philosopher or a fool, both. Before he was crippled by 5 gout he often amused himself by iwling into the dog house in his rd and snarling at passers-by. Freently he hired every public conrance in town, just previous to the sater hour, and amused himself .tching people tramp through the id when they had money to ride. I begging letters and all proposins for impossible business schemes got he printed once a year and rtributed in book form. Any newsper, magazine or other publication aid obtain his life subscription by eSxing a title to his name on the apper. His feet had to be amputated and | gave them a fine funeral, erecting nonument over his late pedals. He ve hundreds of thousands to charand frequently worked himself :o a fit when overcharged a copper two. His last will provided that he be ried in a rough pine box, without nefit of the clergy, the coffin to be rried to the cemetery on a tinker's rt. But a large orchestra was to How the cart, sixty pieces, and each jsician was to get a hundred rou*s and enough money to get glo)usly drunk on. It will remain undecided whether e curious old man was a philosoer or a fool. Tolstoi, who correonded with him, took him for a lilosopher. - --- - m CAUGHT IN FALLING BUILDING. Eight Killed and Fifteen Hurt in Collapse of l>epartment Store. McKinney, Tex., Jan. 23.?The work of clearing away the wreckage of the Cheeves Brothers department store, which collapsed late to-day, was abandoned at midnight, the searchers being convinced there were no more bodies in the ruins. Mayor H. A. Finch gave out a statement placing the dead at eight. Fifteen injured were recovered, six of whom were seriously hurt. The others were only slightly injured. The store had been crowded during the day by citizens and nearby families of farmers attending a bargain sale. According to Vernie Graves, the only person known to have escaped uninjured from the falling ruins, there were fully fifty people in the building at the time of the catastrophe. Without Warning. Cracking of timbers and swaying of the building were quickly followed by the collapse. Excitement attending the accident was increased by the falling of a two-story building adjoining the department store. Rescue work was impeded by the lack of mechanical iacmues, <tuu practically the entire male population of McKinney joined in fighting the fire and searching the smouldering ruins. News of the disaster spread quickly and incoming interurban lines brought scores of farmers, who joined in the work. Cries Spur Rescuers. Many of those in the ill-fated building when the collapse came were women and children. Their cries spurred the rescue workers in their efforts to tetar away the burned and splintered timbers, behind which the inmates of the building were pinioned. Two persons reached by the rescuers lived only a few minutes after they were taken from the ruins. An emergency hospital was hastily constructed in a nearby building and * ' -11 ntn /-yf fho tnwn pnysicians irum <an pans v*. rushed to the scene to render medical aid. Dead and Injured. The dead: Rose Welch, Miss Katie Milligan, Miss Bessie Wade, Russell Hight, four years old; N. R. Presley, clerk; Mrs. Mary Stiff, clerk; Miss Eva Searcy, clerk; Leslie Bush, Allen, Tex. Seriou&ly injured: Miss Annie Curtis, Mrs. Mort Shirley, Mrs. Jennie Barnett, John Thomas, Mrs. Hugh Kistler, Mrs. Belle . McWilliams, clerk; Anna Graves Kistler, Miss Lydia Moreland, Miss Lula Searcy, clerk; Miss Stella Russell; Mis6 Cassie Seay, Miss Wick Graves. Two of the dead were taken from the debris alive, but died within an hour at a sanitarium. One of these, Mrs. Mary Stiff, pleaded with the firemen working in the tangled mass above her to kill her as the fire was rapidly reaching her. She was brought out barely alive. N. R. Pres~ 4.-U ley talked with the nremen as uie.v tore away the wreck, directed by the sound of his voice. He was dead when they reached him. L. W. Busch, a capitalist, of McKinney, is believed to be among those still pinioned beneath the wreckage. Presley told those endeavoring to rescue him that Bush was on the opposite side of the counter from him when the building fell. Another Building Collapses. The building adjoining the Cheeves Brothers establishment was occupied by a farm implement concern. The collapse of a wall in the implement house threw its weight against the corner building, and. with a noise that jarred the town to its foundations, both sank into ruins. At the harsh cracking of timbers; clerks and customers alike broke for the streets. Pressed outward by the weight of the heavy stock, the wall of the implement store swayed, sagged and burst through into the ae partment store, and in an instant hundreds of tons of merchandise and the wrecked and shattered building material rained in a heap into the department store, flying thirty-five feet in the air. Jagged timber stuck from the mass. After a moment of stunned activity, hundreds of rescuers pitched into the ruins. Scarcely had they mounted the heap when tongues of flames burst through it. From all over the city came workers and were formed into relays by Mayor Finch. As one shift became exhausted another took its place. From the steaming ruin bricks were hurled aside, timbers torn out and cast into the* streets and human forms lifted from the wreckage and hurried to hospitals. The fire was extinguished in an hour, but sometimes the flames brought the volunteer fire-fighters to the victims, who prayed for -their rescuers to hurry. N. R. Presley, a clerk, was one of these. In inter! rupted gasps he'told the firemen that he was waiting on Leslie Bush, an Allen, Tex., capitalist, while the crash came. Then Presley begged: "Kill me, or give me a gun so I iAMNO A bso fa The only Bak from Royal Grs NO ALUM, NO FUGITIVE HIDES IX GRAVE. \ ______ Deputy Begins to Fill it, a Howl i Heard and Arrest Follows.
