This information comes just as we are going to press and al! the particalars could not be obtained in time. Disastrous Fire. The town clock bad not long struck the hour of midnight last Friday when the alarm of Ore was heard and the whole city was aroused. The yells of the frightened prison ers, la the jail, and the neighing and kicking of terrified horses disclosed the horrible fact that the feed warehouse and stables of Mr. Geo. F. Eppersoo were on fire. The fire and hook and lad der companies responded promptly to:tbe alarm, but the fire bad already gained considerable headway and the buildings were in a bright blaze. A large quantity of bay and other roughage bad been stored aw?y in the warehouse and the flames fed by this in flUmab te?mat tei mounted so bigb in the air that they are savd to have been seen for miles away. It was utterly impossible to check the fury of the fire, and the firemen and the citizens directed, their attention towards saving the adj cent buildings which were greatly endangered by the flying cinders and and sparks that were scattered in every direction. Mr. Epperson lost about 10 or 12 head of fine horses and mules. There were others lost belonging to other parties as fol lows: Mr. Thos. E. Richardson, one mare and boggy. Mr. Darby, one horse and buggy. Dr. J. J Boesard, one mare. Messrs. Ingram & Bowman, one borse and buggy. Dr. Register, one-horse and buggy. Southern Express Company, one horse and wagon. Gen E. W. Motse lost one or two out buildings near the Stables. Mr. J. D. Craig, besides Mr. Epperson, was perhaps the heaviest loser. His large two story furniture repository to the rear of bis store and his barn and stables were completely destroyed, but owing to the prompt assistance of bis friends, some of the contente were saved. Mr.Craig, though insured,'will lose a good deal. It was somewhat surprising that all of Mr. Craigs buildings were not burnt. They were probably saved by the promptness and hard word of those present. Nineteen head of horses and mules, be longing tn a drover in a shed to the rear of the s tables,, were saved by the promptness and presence of mind of a colored woman, named Sylvia Malinda, who seized an axe and broke in the door, and let toe m out. A young man named Henry Stack who was sleeping in the stable had a very narrow escape. He was awakened by the beat, smoke and falling timbers and barely escaped with his life. The prisoners coofinedJn the j til which is only a few feet off on the opposite side of the street became almost frante. Some of them succeeded in breaking out of their cells into the hallway where they were secured by the jailor. The morning revealed a scene of misty chaos, and the revolting spectacle of the charred and smouldering remains of 16 horses. A long line of springs, tires, and iron fixtures marked the spot where, carriages, buggies, etc., once stood. Mr. Epperson bad a policy of $1,400, on his buildings, ?od $250, on bis stock, but this will fall far short of covering his loss, which will be about $3,000 above the in surance. The insurance above cover?^y two poli lies, represented by the agency of A. White & Son has already been adjusted. Christmas Cards and excellent Tokens at DeLorme's. Fire at the Jervey House. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning while the guests at tbe Jervey House, among whom were the Rose Osborne troupe, were eating their breakfast, fire broke out in the roof which covers the storeroom and kitchen. Immediately ? there ensued a scene ef the wildest confusion. There were men hurrying to and fro, tumbliog out huge trunks, satchels, valises, and other traveller's luggage; waiters rushing out with crockery and furniture and throwing bedding and clothing from tbe windows of the rooms. It seemed an age before the fire companies arrived on tbe scene. The "Wide Awakes" were the first to turn,on a stream, but it appeared to be quite a feeble one, owing to the broken places in the hose, which bad to be taken up tenderly. One old darkey addressed a rash assistant thus. "Look here boy bandle dat ting more careful 1er. if you don't take care you'll bus em 'gin." There was something wrong ' with tbe steamer, and at one time it looked as if tbe Jervey House was doomed, but tbe fire was somewhat suppressed by tbe construction of tbe roof, and was sheltered from the wind, of which there was little blowing at the time. It might be said that the hotel was saved by natural causes. At tbis time the greatest excitement prevailed The writer saw one individual throw a pitcher and basin out of a second story window. After a little delay the refractory steamer began to work, and two well directed streams being turned on the fire was subdued without difficulty. The damages to tbe building are amply covered by insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Jervey are the chief sufferers. They had a policy of $400 on their furniture, but tbe damage caused by breakage and stealage, will, including groceries also damaged and stolen, approxi mate $600. Mrs. Jervey deserves a great deal of credit for her excellent management and prompt action. The fire was not checked until eleven o'clock, yet Mrs. Jervey had nearly everything in shape and dinner pre pared for twenty five people by one o'clock. ??mm* ? ?? -^m^^~ Handsome assortment Christmas Cards, just received at DeLorme's. The Trial Justice Court. Tbe State vs. Edward Murray?Breach of Trust. Tbe testimony io this case developed tbe followiog facts. Tbe prosecuting witness A. C Foster, and tbe defendant, Murray came from Jlnine to St. Pauls oo the C. S. k N. R. R., about 27 miles from Sumter, to work for tbe Company now engaged in cut ting timber from the San tee Swamps. Tbey drifted to Sumter. Foster was arrested, tor disorderly conduct, at the Dixon House, on Toesday of last week, and sent to tbe Guard bouse. WhiJe there, bis friend Murray, gets permission from the policeman to talk with him, and a few minutes afterwards returns and deposits ten dollars tor his appearance before the Mayor next morning, and tbey go off together to take io tbe town. Later in tbe day Mr. Dixon decides to withdraw tbe case against Foster, and tbe ten dollars was accordingly paid back to Murray by tbe policeman. The devil, in an evil hour, tempted him to keep it and claim it as his. Foster ignorant that his case bad been nolle prosee, and thinking bis ten dollars had been collected asa fine, was preparing to leave town tbe next day, when be was informed of the facts. Upon demand, defendant claimed the money as his, and persisted in this to toe last. He was arrested and brought be fore the Trial Justice on an affidavit. Mr. I Avant testified that Murray acknowledged in his restaurant in the presence of Foster and himself that it was Foster's money he had deposited with policeman Eppersoo. His evidence with that of Chief Weeks, and the other witnesses, made out a strong case against hi ra, and the Justice committed him to jail in default of payment of fine of $25. Since writing tbe above Murray has paid bis fine and has gone to work with commendable industry. A fine line of Plush goods, &c, also, Xraas Cards cheaper than ever before, at A. J. China's. Go to A.

About 11 o'clock last night, Prince Rob inson, a colored man, who keeps a little gro cery and fruit store, on Main Street, opposite Episcopal Church, was shot and killed by Caleb Bass, a mulatto man who has been in the city for the past week. The facts in con nection with the affair are, briefly, these: Bass was originally from New York, but has recently been living in North Carolina, and was also in the employ of Maj. Geo. W. Earle while surveying the railroad. He wauted to leave town yesterday, and becoming short of money he was endeavoring to raise the necessary cash by pawniug a pistol and overcoat, but had not succeeded when heap plied to Prince. The latter was about to lend him the money, and had it in bis hands, when the pistol, which was a hammerless re volver, went off while in Bass'hands. The ball struck Pri ce in the abdomen. Bass be came frightened at the call for policemen and ran away. He has not yet been found. - um mm Religious. On Sunday night next the Rev.

How far can we see from any given height? This is a question that occurs to the inquisitive mind frequently. From the Eiffel tower, the highest artificial structure in the world, say 1,000 feet, we would enjoy a circle of vision bounded by a horizon 39 miles distant. From Mount Everest, the highest peak in the Himalayas (27,000 feet) one should see, if the air was clear enough, nearly 20u rai;es. Though the borison is restricted, the busi ness or professional man, housewife or social queeo particularly, suffering from loss of appetite, general debility, dyspepsia or from a threatened attack of mal-trial tever, should see their own well-being sufficiently clear to secure a bottle of that King of Medicines, Dr. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic.
