The Baard of Pensions.

The Examin ing Board notified the Comp troller General of the trouble and that officer has instructed the Board to act without the other hoard which should have been elected by the survivors. The Board will, therefore, hold a meeting very soon, the exact time of which will be announc- , ed later through the columns of The Darlington News. „ -r^ ™ -i j -*u % a 'i: I occurred just beyond the raif- & D.

The New York Theatre Com- paSiy, in accordance with the announcement previously made, appeared for the first time be fore a Darlington audience ot the Opera House on Monday night in “The Man and Master,” an excellent play which was well rendered and greatly en joyed by the larure number who saw it. The comic portion of the play and the dancing amused the audience very much". On Tuesday night the "company rendered the famous “Galley j Slave.” On this occasion the house was crowded and it is the common opinion that the acting on that night was, perhaps, the best ever seen in Darlington. Last night the company con cluded its engagement with “A Mountain Pink,” a farcical play that greatly pleased the theatre goers. _ Real Estate Transfers.

On Sunday night while a par ty of ladies, escorted by a gen tleman, were on their way to attend services at the Baptist Church they met with rather an unusual adventure. The par ties were walking on the pave ment on the North side of Broad Street, between Florence Street and the gate of the Baptist Churchyard, which opens on to Broad Street, and tho night was unusually dark. Suddenly, amid frightened cries, the ladies disappeared from view and they seemed, to the gentleman, to have gone down into th,e earth. On investigation, however, it- was found that the ladies had descended only about {our feet and fortunately none of them were hurt. The pavement had caved in, making a hole in the earth about five feet in di ameter and four feet deep. From the bottom of the hole'a sewer- like ohanuel runs under the pavement in the direction of Florence Street, hut as all is darkness within this channel it is not known how far it extends. Some years ago there was a deep ditch extending along that portion of the town which is now Broad Street, hut it was covered over when the street was laid out. The recent heavy rains caused the earth over this ditch to cave in, making the great hole in the ground. has the brief .visit to his home in Tim- .monsville he will go to Atlanta, 'where he will take a course at the Moore Business College.
