John C. Lipscomb. BROAD RIVER BRIDGE BURNED. The Fire Occurred Saturday Morning. TRAINS ARE DELAYED. A <i:inK of Two lliimlr.-.l Work Nlul.t and Day and Ki'i.lacc tlir Iturncl Itrlil^o in Two Pay*—Wax the l , 'ir«• an Arridciit or liiHdeiullary ? The city was somewhat startled Saturday morning by the intelligence that the bridge on the Southern rail road over Broad river had been burned during the night. About three o’clock Saturday morning the bridge was discovered to be on fire by a farmer in the neigh borhood and a messenger named Broom was at once hastened to (lalf- to inform the agent, Col. It. M. GalT- ney. An investigation proved that the bridge was burning in live differ ent places. The greatest damage was done the Blacksburg side of the bridge, where about two hundred feet of the structure hud burned away. The proper authorities were at once notified. The early north bound train was sent to Charlotte from Spartanburg via Columbia. Arrangements were made with the S. C. Sc G. E. R. It., to run trains over their track from Gallney to Blacksburg, and a force of hands were at once put to work to make the connection. Superintendent of Construction Reddle, of Washington, was on the scene Saturday and soon had a largo force of hands at work. The work was prosecuted with vigor day and night, and yesterday the workmen had the injured bridge in condition for travel so tiie vestibule could pass over. Soon after Mr. Reddle arrived Messrs. R. Southgate and J. .11. Hen- derlite came upon the scene and the work was turned over to them. Sunday afternoon a representative of The Ledger was permitted to visit the scene of activity in company with Col. R. M. (iallney and several other gentlemen on board one of the construction trains that was run from Gallney. About two hundred men were at work and everything was moving like clockwork. The fact that they were enabled to run trains in such a short while speaks volumes for those in charge of the work. The origin of the tire is unknonw, hut the generally accepted theory is that the bridge caught from fire dropped from the fire box of a pass ing engine. There are some who think it the work of an incendiary, hut as yet no evidence has been de veloped to support the latter belief. TO THE BRIDE ELECT. lOll'KUIlt l.ilM'll I.UIK'llHOII (ilvi‘11 to tll<‘ Fu- turoMrx. T. ItotluvHI Itutlor. A piece of news that was kept from The hedger, hut kindly sent to the Columbia State and Spartanburg Herald under date of the 20th is the following: “Wednesday at 1 o’clock an ede- gant and beautiful linen luncheon was given hy Miss Carroll as a com pliment to the bride-elect, Miss An nie Wood, who is to he married to Mr. Thos. Bothwell Butler Nov. 7, next. The Carroll mansion was ar tistically decorated witli palms, ferns and bride-roses. The dining-room presented a picture indeed. Covers were laid for ten, and the place to he taken hy each guest was designated hy a unique favor in the shape of a heart, tiiere being three leaves, united hy a ribbon, harmonizing in color with the hand-painted violets upon the lirst leaf, which also bore the name of the guest for which it was intended. On tiie second leaf was, ‘Linen Luncheon. Miss Carroll to Miss Wood, Oct. IS, ISM.’ On the third leaf was the following: ‘Thomas Bothwell Butler, Annie Ola Wood, Nov. 7, J8W.’ “The luncheon, which was dainty and pulateable. was served in courses. There were a number of lovely pres ents in linen presented to Miss Wood hy the guests present, who were Miss es Olive Surratt, Hose Gaffney, idu Wood, Fannie Wardlaw, Mrs. Boyd Humes, Mrs.Yirgio Copeland, Mrs. W. Harry Gooding and Mrs. Col. II. Fay Gaffney. “Miss Wood, the bride-elect, is the eldest daughter of Hon. A. N. Wood, ex-mayor of Gaffney, and one of the wealthiest and most influential men of this portion of the Statu. Mr. T. B. Butler is a prominent young law yer, a nephew of Gen. M. C. Butler of South Carolina, and a very popular young man.” OrKMiii/.aUoii ul Dluniciil ( lull. On Tuesday, October J7, the ad vance students of the School of Music of Limestone college formed an organization for the purpose of studying the literature of music and the history of the art, as well us for securing a better appreciation of the masterpieces of the greatest compos ers and arriving at a correct critical appreciation of ail that is highest and bcsRin the musical world. The meeting was marKed hy the greatest enthusiasm. The name selected for the new organization is “’I he Lime stone Musical Club.” There are at present twenty-five members. The officers chosen are Rrofessor Wade R. Brown, Rresident, Miss Nina Y r . Ben edict, Yice-Rrcsidont, and Miss Raw- nee Jones, .Secretary and Treasurer. The organization of this club is another of the many manifestations of new life at Limestone. The work of the club will undoubtedly stimu late the higher study of music in this community. The club will not neg lect the social element*, and us the membership is made up of charming personalties, we predict that many delightful occasions are in store. TROUBLES OF OUR OWN. We Do Not rropose to l-lRlit the Hattlex of Ollierx, The mails brought us the other ! day the following communication: Mr. Editor:—I, ns a taxpayer and j a citizen, would like to know why it is that the Board of Rublic Works laid pipe along Betty street and then took it up and laid it along another street on which there is not a single house. I think you should jump on them through your paper and give them hail Columbia. It is your i duty, as a public journal to do it. Taxpayer. Now upon our soul we do not know who “Taxpayer” is. He did not sign any other name to the com munication and we did not recognize the manuscript. W’e wish, however, to pay our respects to him, and in cidentally to state our position on the waterworks question. Some time ago we published several com munications on the waterworks ques tion and the same time took occasion to add our protest to the methods adopted hy the Board of Rublic Works. We even went so far as to call upon members of the hoard and were coldly, calmly and firmly told that the board would do what it be lieved would be right in tiie matter irrespective of the protest of anyone. We then found out that it was use less to try to pursuade them to alter their course about Buford street, so we opened the columns of this paper to the public to discuss tiie subject. Some few entered their protest hut tiie great majority were as dumb as oysters. Now this paper does not propose to do all the- kicking. It has nothing to gain hy it, or nothing to lose by keeping quiet. Wo are not more interested than other people and if other people cannot fight their battles when offered the op portunity we are not going to do it for them. We believe the Board is doing wrong. They protest that they are doing the proper thing, so there the mutter stands. A business man and a property owner said to a Ledger representa tivo the other day that this paper should protest against the action of the Board of Rublic Works, and every day we have people to get af ter us to fight the Board. Wo offer the columns of this paper to any one who may wish to make u protest, and we offer the same privi lege to the Board of Rublic Works, but we are not going to bear the brunt of the enmity of three men who have always been our friends just to pleate some people who are able to make their own fight but are loo politic to let their protest be known unless they can shift it to the shoulders of some one else. Two masked robbers held up a stage near Ouray. Colo., last week, hut overlooked $12,000 in gold in the baggage. niiws, ▼V A Btiiwe! An expectant mother had better not take anything at all than those positively dangerous mixtures so widely advertised to relieve her discomfort and nausea. She ought to know that outside external treatment is the only way that can possibly be of any benefit. She ought to know that Mainer's Friendv, the only remedy that will help her, and it is an external liniment. It takes her through the entire period in comparative comfort, shortens labor, and childbirth is no longer to be dreaded.

In the morning he deliv- 1 ered a most delightful sermon cn “Heaven.” Hr. Law took the posi tion that Heaven was about us on , earth, and that if we could only 1 bring ourselves to tiie perfection which the apobtlis of old attained I we would realize it fully. He quoted : scripture to substantiate Ids claim ! and made it very plain that lie was 1 correct in his position. Dr. Law is a delightful speaker and a thorough scholar. His points were beautiful ' in their simplicity and lie won the J hearts of his congregation hy his earnestness and eloquence.
