P4 Sloan who killed his wife a few days ago in Newberry.. The circumstances of the attempted arrest and subseS quent self murder are as follows: MrNh. Thomas F. Ray, of Newberry county, was returning home from a visit to relatives in the upper por' l ion of this 2ounty, and in passing the store of J. P. Little at the Boyce place, saw Sloan andl deter mined to arrestV him. HeI obtain ed a warrant of arrest from trial .Justice L. W. Copeland, and hav ing secured the assistarice of five other men set out in pursuit--the posse came in sightof the fugitfye about eight miles from where Mir. Ray first saw him at the -brick house place of Geoi-ge F. Young. Sloan d iscoveredI his pur suers when they wpre about forty yards from him. He immediategy drew his pistol and took refuge behind a n'egro house8 near byr, anid immnve diately beg firing..

Department for this district, visit ed Union to inspect the affairs of the postofilce at this place and dis covered a deficiency in the money order department of from $500 to $700. Mr. J. H1. Goss, the post master, was cited to appear before the United States Court at Green ville and his bondsmen were noti fled to make good the deficiency and appoint some one of their nu in ber to take charge of the office un til a new appointment is made by the department at Washington. The deficiency was. promptly paid and Mr. B. F. Baily placed in charge of the office. Who the new Post Master will be we have no idea of, but we learn that live or six applications for the position have been forwarded to the department. Judging from sim - ilar appointmeLts in counties around us, we can hardly expect that a.democrat will be appointed here, but a decent' respe'ct foi the interests of the people and business of the town and county, it appear-s to us, should move the department to appoint a responsible and re spectable person to that importatnt position.-Union Times. -Henry Magee, Boston agent of the Monarch line of steamers, was arrested last week by (detet lives in full dress just after~ the minister had pronounced the clos ing word1s of his marriage cerenio ny in the presence of a f'ashlonable company at te bride's. baime. Magee was accused of embezzle ment andl spent the first ni ght of his wedded life in a station house instead of starting on an extended tour as he intended. -H-on.

Mrs. Mc.Daniel has instituted. suit against A. E. Fugle, another one of her slanderers as she claims for $10,000; but she has no hopes colle sting from either one of the parties to the suit should judg ment be rendered in her favor, for the )arties have nothing.' Her idea is that by securing judgment in her fLvor it will exonerate her from the charge made against her reputation. The trial gives promi ise of being an interesting one. -Wilian Walter Phelps is rich. lie is a Yale graduate. He . is. Blane's right-hand man.
