Death.
Mrs. Lou A. 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

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

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.

Inquest in the Maxcy Murder.
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. The circumstantal evidence so far raises

from his wife that he had", bought some shot
last Chifstmas?there was some mixed shot
found in the house?hut that he never hunted
any. Her evidence was very contradictory,
aud eo far not much light has been thrown
on rhe marrer- **?* **
Andrew Spann was yesterday re committed
to jail, in default of bond, to appear as a
witness at the March Court of Gen'I Sessions.
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."
