Brown died suddenly of heart disease, at her residence on the corner of Liber ty and FJarvio Streets, at about seven o'closk Sunday evening. Mrs. Brown aras born in Darlington in about 1856; -her maiden name was Dickson, and her family were connections of the Ingrams and Hoggins, of Manniog. She married Mr. James Brown in 18?, and moved to Bennettsville, where her bnsband died. Mrs Brown since then moved to Sum ter, invested ber little property, and com menced taking boarders in order to support her children. The particulars relative to her death are as follows : She bad been complain ing in the last few days of cold and a tight ness about her chest. On Sunday morning she was up and about the house and but a abort time previous to ber death had been up to the room of one of her lady boarders, where they had been cheerfully conversing She started to prepare supper as usual, and while putting the things on the table, remarked to one of her children that she did not see hew she could come to the table, she had such a headache. The words had scarcely escaped her before she turned very pale and caught convulsively. She never spoke again and died in about five minutes. Mrs. Brown was a woman of handsome phjsiqoe and possessed of many sterling traits of character. She leaves three children and a large circle of friends to mooro ber untimely death. Mrs. Brown's funeral services were held at her residence yesterday afternoon, Dr. Ed munds officiating, and her remains were taken the same evening to Manning for interment, byher brother Mr. E. E. Dixon. Mr. E. B Lowry, formerly of this city, died in Somme: ville on Friday. He lived nere only a few years, but has made many friend.?. A short time ago be moved to Summerville, thinking the change might benefit bis indiffer ent health. His remains reached Sumter on Saturday and have been interred in the ceme tery. The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church by Rev. A. J. Stokes. Mr. Lowry was married to a Miss Sanders a few years ago and she and three children sur vive him.

Miss May-Belle Brad well, daughter of State School Commissioner Brad well of Georgia, and cousin of Mr. R S. Brad well of this city, died at ber home in Atlanta, on Sunday the 25tb January, from erysipelas developed by the Grippe. This will be sad news to those who had the pleasure of meeting this charm ing and estimable young lady on the occasion of her two visits to Sumter. The first was in the summer of '87 after the commencement exercises of the Staunton Female Academy where she- was graduated. At that time she bad all that brightness born of youtb and hope, to which were added the tender graces of the sweet girl graduate. Her friends bere will be gratified to know that she died in the faith of the church, of which, for one of her years, she was a devout and constant member. Without amurmerof regret in the quiet of last Sunday evening, surrounded by her gtief stricken taeaily she resigned the "cheerful, anxious being" of her young womanhood for the brighter and more beautiful precincts of the day beyond. Snnrjj-Sic e Poultry Yards. The people of Sumter and especially those who have been rea ding the reports from the recent great pooJtiry showJa Charleston 'will be interested to know that some of the very finest breeds of chickens are right here in Sumter. We paid a visit last week to the Sunny Side Poultry Yards and while there Mr. W. B. Murray kindly showed us through bis poultry pens and imparted some very useful informa tion in respect to this interesting industry. His fowl-houses and yards are models of neat ness. Each breed of fowls is confined to its own bouse and pen. All the houses face to the South and are closely weather-boarded and covered except the front (Southern) side which is dosed in wftb slats about two inches apart. Each pen is about 25 feet wide, en closed by a paling fence and extends in front of the bouse to a depth of aboot 75 feet. At one corner, in the end, some clean pine straw and leaves are laii where the chickens are fed. The floor of the fowl bouses is covered with clean sand and this saod is removed aod re placed at intervale. There is a row of fowl houses sud pens on either side of the lot. In the pens on the South side the Light Brahmas, Buff Cochins and Plymouth Rocks are kept. On the North side are to be found the White and Brown Leghorns, Black .Minorca and Wyandottes. At the. Eastern-txtre?ty ?f the back yard are the hatching pens, with coops, and in these pens a little crop of barley and oats is plaoted fort he benefit of the little chickens. Everything it arranged in the most con venient way and is conducted with perfect system and order, even to the medicine chest which is close at band, in case of sudden and severe illness among the chickens. With the high standard of fowls which Mr. Murray breeds, combined with bis superior management, we predict for him perfect suc cess in bis poultry business. Mr. Murray would bave taken down some of bis chicken* to the Poultry Show, but was prevented from doing so by business, .engage ments. I?

Yesterday, acting Coroner, L. L. Fraser, continued the inquest in the Maxcy murder case. A great deal of pressure had been brought to 1 ear on Sheriff Carson by the citizens of I he vicinity to send up" the pris oners. Hampton Nelson and Sentry Butler, to attend tae inquest. - There being, however, some evidence bf % ct'ftumstsntiaK" nature against thfse parties and the fact of the feel ing Hgainst them Mug strong among MaXey'i friend*, the Sheriff, from these and other reasons, decided that the wisest course to pursue, would be to guard the prisoneis in the ja?, and if th??ir presence was imperative befoie the Coroner's Jury, it would be far better for th?t tribunal to come to Sumter lh?n .mperil their lives by carrying the pris oners into the heait of the outraged commun ity.

Th? witnesses, Centry Butler, Hampton Nelson, and Andrew Spann wer%, committed to jail under the^w-der^Df Deputy i?oroner, L. L. Fraser, ?n Jan. 2btb, to're-appear before the jnry of inquest yesterday. On 22nd of January iht Deputy Coroner lodged ? further order with the .Saerifl?. comman^?l?g "rum to keep ttfe partie^ir*; his custody, un?l further orders.* At the hour appointed for the fnqnest yesterday, the Sheriff sent up Andrew Spann, one of 'the witnesses, but for reasons already stated, retained the others in the jail. Upon arriving on the ground the Deputy Sheriff found a Urge crowd .of bojh blacks and whites assembled?of the hotter, '^a ^good^many. were strangers, supposed to he men frooi Rich land County, Maxcy's home. They seemed verf much surprised that Centry Butler, and Nel I eon were noi produced, and Deputy Coroner ; Fraser issued a peremptory order to ihe^She'r iff to bring the witnesses before tbe inquest now being held. The order was banded to the Deputy Sheriff at htlf-past 12 o'clock and the distance being 17 miles to Sumter, he re plied that it would be too late for bits to go to Sumter and return yesterday. This morning the Sheriff made the follow ing return to the order of Deputy Coroner Fraser: Sheriff s Office, \ Sumter, S. C, January 28, 1891. J To L. L. Fraser, Esq., Deputy Coroner, Dear Sir : Your order to bring the prison ers, Centry Butler aud Hampton Nelson, be fore yon for further examination, at Bradford Spritigs, on tbe 28th inst., to baud. I must say tbat with all doe respect to you aud tbe jury of inquest, I must decline to comply with your order, for reasoos already stated to you. I am responsible for the safe keeping of ssid prisoners, not only in jail, but while in my custody, out of it, and I feel satisfied tbat to b'.ke them such a distance beyond the limits of this city, would be. to jeopardize tbe lives of staid prisoners. Moreover, in conversation with Governor Tillman, I was advised to keep tbe above-named prisoners in jail, and not to run any risk in tbe matter, tbat if necessary, the Corner's jury could adjourn to meet at tbe County seat, where an examination of the prisoners could be bad with all safety. Hop ing the above, will, in your opinion justify my conduct in the matter, I am, dear sir, Yours respectfully, &c. E. Scott Carson, Sheriffs. C. Just before going to press, we learn tbat tbe Coroner's Jury decided upon tbe fol low ing Terdict: "That tbe said John Maxcy was killed and murdered by a gun shot wound from a gun in the bauds of Centry Butler aud tbat Hamp ton Nelson and Andrew Spann were acces sories before the fact."
