Bkkwkkton, July, 27.?It becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mr. Lewis S. Martin, who died the 10th of July. Tims pisses away a noblo Christian man, one who was noted for his quiet, sweet disposition. To know him was to lovo him. Per haps, no man had fewer enemies and more friends than he. He was a con sistent member of the M. E. Church at New Zion. For 00 years ho served his Lord aud Master most faithfully. He lived to the good old age of 88 years. Ho leaves a host of idatives cud frlcds to mourn his loss. At this writing wo have no sickness in this, our Immediate neighborhood. The farmors aro rounding up their farm work. Crops are looking woll especially corn. Co'.ton is improving fast and bids fair to be a good crop. A colored man, Perry Boland, who lived on Mrs. Mattie Owing's p'ace was accidontly killed j osterday, the *22nd, in cleaning out a well. Perry was well thought of.

T?o English government had boon annealed io by Russia to make Eng land too lit)t to 1: >ld the nihilists who wore hutching pi ts against t?o Iii"?1 of the oznr, nnd Detective Fruzor hud been employed to tube the preliminary steps, lie Tvr.is t<> locate the "couter" nnd spot the Individuals comprising It. und when all uns r ndy ho would call for assistance and draw a full net. Fruzor was the right man in the right place, lie was a human bloodhound by ir.stiuct. Ho was without mercy or pity lor a criminal. lie was ambi tious, zoolouu ami untiring. It' any public olile r in London could locate t?o bloodthirsty theorists who wore causing the czar 80 much anxiety, It was I'razer. Ho was a man of won derful intuition, and ho was trained in the art of ruining down shadows till be found thorn, flesh nnd blood. The govemmont did not let It be come publicly known that It was mak ing a move against tin" refugee con spirators, and Frazer took care that no one should know of his mission. Ho wont on a still hunt for three months, nnd during that time he covered every district In London and became famil iar with every suburb. Luck and In tuition guided htm aright. Out? night ho called in the aid of the police, and made a descent on a house, bagging eight of the men ho wanted. The pa pers did not call thorn nihilists, but counterfeiters, for the papers wore not told of the bombs, Infernal indchlncs nnd treasonable literature captured with thorn. There were ten nihilists In the group, nnd Frazer had seemed but eight of them. The eight were given up to Kussin to become Siberian exiles, but the other two were left behind to avenge them. That they would seek his death Frazer fully realized ami prepared himself for the struggle. If they had to do with n crafty, nggres slve man who knew no fear, be bad to do with two cunning, vindictive men who bad sworn to take his lifo and would dare everything to accomplish their object. Their Identity was un known to him, as they had been out of the country while be v. as working up bis case, while It was moro than probable that they know him by sight. They also had the advantage of hav ing friends among the criminal classes who would aid them in various ways. Having concluded his labors for the English government, the English gov ernment wanted not hing more of De tective Frazer. Were it known that ho bad received orders from the cabinet there was no lolling what public build ing might be blown up in revenge. An Infernal machine In tho house of par liament or a bomb thrown through n window of Somerset House would awaken nil England In an hour, nnd questions might bo asked that the gov ernment would flud it embarrassing to answer. While England and Russia havo long been on tho most friendly terms, there nre plenty of Englishmen, and many of them people of Influence, who sym pathize with the struggle for freedom In Russia nnd argue that the czar's ob stinacy has driven his subjects to adopt extreme measures. The govern ment would have boon glad to hoar that Frazer was going off to Australia or America for a long vacation, nnd it SO hinted, but ho refused to go. Ho knew he had been marked down by the two nihilists, and pride prevented him from running away. While they hunt ed for him he would hunt for them. It should be n battle to the death. He mode an immediate move, and perbaps It was with a feeling of ex ultation that he discovered that the enemy was Just as prompt. He was In u low dnncchouse In disguise when tho point of u knife thrust at his heart was buried in the moinorandum book in his pocket, and the would bo assas sin got away. Frazer was not Injured, but his nerves were a bit shaken. In leaving tho street behind him a brick, dropped from a third story window, missed his head by an inch. Tho next day he called other officers to his aid and raided a house of doubtful charac ter, but or all the persons pulled In none was detained beyond a day. From that day on, for months and months, Frazer was hunting over Lon don. He was never Frazer as his com rades knew him. Ho bad a dozen dif ferent disguises, and If he was a "toft" one day ho was a costermonger tho next. Here nnd tbero he picked up a clew until it came to pass that he knew tho lodgings of his foes and would have recognized their foces on the street. Then they suddenly dis appeared, nnd within n week they hnd taken n leaf out of his book nnd ndopt ed disguises. A seeming mendicant nc costed him one day nnd sought to slab him In tho back. As he walked the ?trccts one night n bullet whizzed by his bend. A box was left at his lodg ings which proved to be an infernal machine, mid In the crowd at tho en trance of a theater an attempt was made to assassinate him. It was a game of lifo and death well played, but though the detoctlvo realized that the odds wore against him ho woidd not give up. He shifted his lodgings, bad the press announce that he had loft England nnd went into the slums ns an evangelist. After two weeks he spotted one of his men, but before ho could make a move ho was assaulted nnd laid up for a fortnight. He was traced to his new lodgings, nnd a bomb was used to blow out tho front of the house. He was determined to give the nihil I F YOU Want to Own a Home, Piedmont Saveings and Investment Company, Oilers an Opportunity Cheaper and Better than a Building and Loan Association.

Ists uo rTPt until ho had them Lu limbo, ami on tho other hand a now "center" appeared ami solemn oaths were taken to run Fr?ser to ins death before car rying out any other work, lie was warned by anonymous letters of what was bel?g done and what was Inevita ble unless he drew off, but each new development only made him the more determined, lie felt now that it WttS a losing game on his side, but he woidd continue to play it to the end. in four months Frosser shifted his lodgings seven times. During tho sumo time he shot and wounded two men who had sought to corner him, and ho arrested eight or ten suspicions char acters. A man who had entered his lodgings at midnight was almost killed by a blow from a club, and another, who was surprised In the net of throw ing a bomb through the window, was flung into tho gutter and had his leg broken. At his last shift of lodgings Fra/.er moved clear across London and assumed the disguise of a tramp. tFor a week he heard nothing from his foes, but If they had dropped him ho had not done with them. Ho had subordi nates who woro picking up threads for him as he rested. ?llO afternoon, as he sot in a small pork after having so llclted alms In bis disguise, a middle aged man o? the dress and bearing of a clergyman turned in from the street and sat down beside him. At first the detective rose up In nn excited way. as If to dee; then he sat down and seemed perfectly helpless. His face grew pale, his eye;; dilated, Olid, though be made nn effort to speak, his words sunk In his Ihr. I It. All this was witness d by two other Strollers In the vicinity. A lUU'KOgirl who was v.h cling n child Up and doWU tho walk said that h'.s bps were blue and his chlu quivering. She heard the hupp sed clergyman address him several times, but there was 110 an swer. The son was shining, the peo ple about him were laughing, und it was a summer's day, but the disguised detective shook and shuddered, it could only bo said afterward that the chill of death was upon him and that his nervous system had hern suddenly upset by the unexpected nppearonco of one of his foes. By nnd by tho clergyman went away und' left I'ruv.er sittin-.t there bolt up right, his hands clasped and his eyes staring lido vacancy. It was ten min ute* before a policeman came along and had his attention attracted by tho pallor of tho man's face. lie laid his hand on tho tramp's shoulder and asked him if he were ill, and the body toppled over sideways on the bench. The disguised Frnzor bad been stab bed to the hear! by a small dagger In the hands of the clergyman, and the man who had been marked down had been removed at last. What was called "tho pnrk mystery" created n good deal of talk and wonder, nnd it was announced ihnl I ho best talent of Scot land Yard had been put on the case. No arrests were over made, however, and to this day U is a mystery to tho English public why the murder should have been committed. Reunion Company E.
