The scene witnessed ia St. Lawrence's Church on last evening is one long to be xe membered by the citizens of this town. Long before the hour appointed for the marriage ceremony of Mr. Neil O'Donnell and Miss Katie Bogin, theGhurch was fined to its ut? most sealing capacity. The Veni Creator of Von La Wacke's Mass, a trio by Mrs. Teicber, L. L. Bultman and R. S. Hood, was beautifully sung. This piece heralded the coming of the bridal party. In response to Freburg's Grand March, which wa3 sweetly played by Miss Katie Monaghan, Mr. W. D. Bogin and bis bridesmaid, Miss Addie Brennan, and the groom and bride, entered the church and slowly walked up the aisle to the altar. The marriage ceremony was performed in a solemn and eloquent manner by Father McNeil. The best wishes of the Watchman and South? ron are extended to the happy couple. Killed by the Train. An old colored man, Rufus Cooyers, in attempting to cross the trestle over Green Swamp on last Saturday evening waa killed by the down train from Columbia. He and bis wife, Rachael, left Sumteron that evening and were on their way nome which is in the Oxborough neighborbood just across Green Swamp. When they reached the trestle, the train was within sight of them, snd she ad? vised him not to attempt to cross it before the train bad passed, but be told her that they had plenty of lime in which to make the trip, and that he could take care of himself. He went on, and she stopped and got down on the embankment until the train had passed. The distance across the trestle which span9 the stream is about thirty feet, and she sup? posed that he had gotten over safely, and so after the train had passed she went on home. Was somewhat surprised at not finding her husband there, but it did not occur to ber that he bad been killed, and she went to sleep. Later io the night on awakening and finding Rufus still absent, she became uneasy, and about daylight procured assistance and started a search. The body was found in the water in a mutilated condition, and from the signs upon the timbers it is supposed he had moved out to one side and crouched down upon the end of the sleeper, where he was struck by the train at fui! speed on a down grade. The traits was about 40 miuutes bebiud time on that evening, and the engineer was treing to make up time. An inquest was held by Coroner Rhame, on Monday, at which the engineer was in at? tendance, and stated that he did not know of the occurrence at the time, and did not know that a man had been killed until on his re? turn trip he wa3 informed of the fact. The verdict of the Jury of Inquest was that the deceased came to bis death by thought? lessly attempting to cross the Green Swamp Trestle at the same time in which a train of cars were passing over the same. - ?- - F.

More economical than the ordinary kinds, and can? not be sold in competition with the multitude of low test, short weight, alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans. ROYAL BAK? ING POWDER CO., 106 Wall-st., N. V. Ex. Gov. A. H. Stephens' Cousin. I am first cousin of the late Ex Governor Alexander H. Stephens, and have been postal clerk on different railroads since 1868 For ten years I have teen a sufferer from a cancer on my face, which j;rew worse until the dis? charge of matter became profuse and vtry offensive I became thoroughly disgusted with blood purifiers and pronounced them humbugs, as I had tried many without relief. Finally I was induced to use B. B. B., which was about the 1st of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive dischaige decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health and I rapidly gained flesh and strength. The discharge gradually decreased and the cancer became Itssand less in size until nothing remains except a scar to teil the tale of a once dan? gerous cancer. All who have seen me since 1 have commenced the use of B.B.B, bear testimony of my great improvement, and the scare ou my face shows that it cured th? can? cer. I find that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is recommended, and I cannot say too much in praise of this wonderful medi? cine. I have tried them all, but B. B. B. stands at the top as a blood purifier. The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.) Bonner- Watchman, being the voluntary lan? guage of Mr. James A. Greer, which Editor Gantt indorse*: "Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of Athens, who had a bud caucer. and his numerous friends thought thal he could not live very long, as the cancer was gradually sapping the foundation of his constitution, but uow looks well and hearty." 2 AGAINST 18. Several physicans have pronounced my disease blood poison, caused ??y paint or lead in the paint, but they euuid not cure me. Last summer I used eighteen bottles of a largely advertised blood r?i*dic?ne, which did me no more good than so much water". I have used ot.ty two bottles of B B. B. and am proud to say that 1 have received greater benefit from them thrin from the eigh ircn, and am now recovering. Thole is no ip cation about thc superiority of 1>. B.
