Altered at the Pott Ofice at Sumter, S drrioB of Monument Square 1 hat portion of the square which appears, at present, to need Dost-attention, will soon be the scene of a bsa; a warm of workmen if the new contrac .;:4aK*bood for the Graded School t>ui!ding is filed on time. Excavations for the ibu nd a tious of this handsome build me will t e made on the South-fiast Corner of the Square, and .will soon be no necessity for any work rn this part of the Square. Our contempora? ry's saggestion, however, bolds good to re? spect .o the rest of tbe grounds and we would ai least like to see the weeds cut aw ay. Married. On Sunday Joly 5tb, 1891, Miss Maggie Avin to Mr. Flemmiug Dawkins, all of Sum? ter County. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. E. Ayers, at Wedgefield Baptist Church. The interior of the Catholic Church pre? sented a very pretty scene yesterday after? noon, where we went to attend the marriage ceremony of Miss Annie E. "Vinson, of this city and Mr. Henry C. Laurey, of Charleston. The latest rays of the sinking sun were fill? ing with a lingering tender light on the pure marble of the chancel, and its chaste and tasteful decorations of evergreens and flowers. While we were looking at the beauty of the scene before us, and the young and the oid there assembled to witness the glad event, the soft notes of the orean, hidden from view, eave forth the music of the wedding march. The bride leaning upon the arm of her father came up the aisle, followed by the groom with her mother and the following attendants : Mr. Leland L Green, aud Miss Mattie Car? son. Dr. Julian A. Barbot, and Miss Hallie Car? son. Mr. Spann Vinson, and Miss Daisy Gail lard. Mr. T. D. Lanigan, and Miss Katie Mona? ghan. Ushers-Messrs. F. R Howard, L. F. Ken? nedv, W. R. McNeill, Thad. Gaillard, Jr. Father's McNeill aud Duffie performed the ceremony in accordance with the ritual o the Catholic Church. Afterwards the bridal party were drives to the residence of Capt. and Mrs. Vinson, where a delightful reception was given to a few friends of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Laurey left last night ou the Coast Line for their future home io Charleston, where they will have the best wishes of the W. $ S. and their numerous friends here for their future welfare and happiness. Death. The infant child of Mrs. Joseph Singleton who had been adopted by Mr. Charles Single? ton died last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Len. W. Dirk had the misfor? tune to lose their little infant at Pinevi'le. this County, on Sanday last. The remaias were interred in th? City Cemetery. Religious. Rev. D. A.

The Providence Literary and Social Club will meet on Fridav evening next at the resi? dence of Col. W. D. Scarborough. A pleas? ant evening is premised to all who attend. City Improvements. Messrs. Holman and LeMaster are building a very neat and substantial six room cottage for Messrs DuRant & Son on Washington Street. Mr. Davis, of 3ishopville, is erecting a prettv six room house for his residence oo Washington Street, next to Mr. F. A. Trade well's. Miss Minnie Moore is having built a very neat five room cottage on West Calhoun St., nexfcihe residence iormerly occupied by Rev. A. ll. Sale, now by Captain Holman and family Mr. Clarence DuRant has had some exten? sive repairing done to the old Blanding resi? dence and has improved and beautified the grounds. He and bis family are now residing there. Mr. F. Schwartz has greatly improved the old residence on corner of Sumter and Liberty Streets, by cutting and clearing away the thick growth of shrubbery and evergreens about the house. He is also making some improvements on the residence, and the ap? pearance of the place has been greatly added to by a neat new fence. Nar; cw Escapes. A colored woman was observed last week walking on the street with the rear portion of the skirt of her dress on fire. She seem? ed to be in blissful ignorance of this dange? rous fact and the chances were in favor of a spontaneous conflagration, but was discovered in time to pt even t such a cons?quence.. A lady in this city who is very deaf was walking down the track of the R. R. recently. Being uuaware of the approach of the train behind ber, she would inevitably have been run over and killed, had it not been for the timely intervention of a stranger who was near by, and reached the spot in time to save her, which under the circumstances had to be done in a manner somewhat startling to the lady. Picnic in the Park. The Jordan Alliance will gire a picnic next Saturday, in the heautiful grove, destined to be Sumter's Park in the early future. They have shown excellent taste in the selection of the spot and the occasion promises to be a pleasant one. Addresses will be delivered by Messrs Altamont Moses, J. J. Dargan and J.H.Wilson. Basket Picnic at Eutaw Springs. An excursion, under the management of Mr. Jno. M. Tindal, will be run on Friday, July 24th from Tindal's Station on the C. S. & ? R. R. to Eutaw Springs.

The durability of the '-New Era'' cotton press is acknowledged, and it is unsurpassed in strength and simplicity. It can be rnn by a single belt, with the help of the gioner, thus saving the work of two hands. Mr. Mat thiesien has also received two car loads of gins. mm* Negro Boy Shot. This afternoon about 4 o'clock, two negro boys got into a difficulty on Liberty Stteet. 1 near the engine house. The young negro boy commonly known in the city as "Stuffy" upoii being cursed by one Moses Montgomery, drew his pistol and fired, the ball striking Montgomery in the foot. Stuffy then made a break through the crowd. policeman Harwick close behind him, but at this writing baa not been canght. - - mm Saturday Excursion to Sullivan's Island.

R also sells round trip tickets to Sullivan's I?land every Saturday, good to return on Monday, fer the same price, $2 75. You can take your choice of either route. Advertiser's Attention ! We have received a line from Prof. J. B. Duffie at Ambler's, S. C . requesting all those persons who have agreed to advertise in his ? antral catalogue or school report to send their cards to Mr. W. A. Pringle. Bobbery at the Jervey House. Mr. H. J Davis a young man occupying a business potion in Columbia, was in Sumier last Saturday and registered at the Jervey House. He stated that he would leave very early the next morning on the 4 o'clock train and desired to lt called at that hour. During the night, somewhere between the hours of 12 and 4 o'clock, some one raised the sash and entered his room which was on the first floor. The burglar, whoever he was, stole $20 and Mr. Davis'gold watch, a dia? mond pin, and suit of clothes. The clothes and pocket book were found by a lady, in the alleyway next to Mr. Herman Schwerin'*, on Washington Street. The other articles of value did not matsrialize. As the suit of clothes was the only apparel Mr. Davis had wiih ?um, the burglar left him in a rather awkward predicament, and probably his leaving them in the alleyway was ?a after thought, expressive of tender consideration of Mr. Davis. The room occupied by Mr. Davis was the one burglarized last winter. The thief climbed through the window by means ot a barrel placed underneath, lt is a little sin? gular that on both occasions the sash was raised and more or less noise made, with a lamp burning in the room; and yet the burg? lar or burglars have successfully accomplished their purpose withos.it detection. Bradycrotine Instant Headache Cure. The Brogdon-Jones-Davis Pic-nic. The pic-nic in the Brogdon neighborhood took place on last Friday, according to an? nouncement, and wad an exceedingly pleasant occasion-which is attested by the representa? tive of the Watchman and Southron who had the good fortune to be in attendance-thanks, first to the urgent invitation from his old friend Bob Jones, and 9econd to the attention of Dr. Register who furnished tbe convey? ance. The pic-nic was held at the residence and grounds adjoining, of Mr. Ransom Davis, which is very prettily situated on the point of a small bill between Pocotaligo Swamp and a stream running into it. A natural grove on two sides supplied shade, and rustic attrac? tions, while the hard clean yard afforded op? portunities for croquet and other games for those so inclined. An abundance of seats were also placed around uoder toe shade, and the entire arrangement showed that those in charge know bow to manage a pic-nic. The attendance was large, embracing citi? zens of the entire neighborhood and a num? ber from other parts of the county. The es? pecial guests of the occasion were Mr. E. M. Clark and his sister Mrs. S. A. Key, and their niece Miss Genie Chandler, from Kemper County, Miss., who have been on a visit of several weeks'to their relatives there, and who expect to return home this week. They are children and grand-child of Mr Elijah Clark who removed from that neigh? borhood to Mississippi about 36 years ago. The dinner was fine and abundant, and was served in keeping with the other arrange? ments. After dinner Speeche? were called for and made by Prof. R. S. Powell, Maj. Marion Sanders, School Commissioner Green, and Rev. C. C. Brown. Ali of which were in good taste, and more or less instructive, in? terspersed with humor. In the evening a number of young people met at the residence of Mr. Robert Jones and spent several hours in "trippiog the light fantastic toe." The most of the crops seen in that neigh? borhood were clean and promising in appear? ance. Result of Examination For Stenog? rapher in Seventh Circuit. The following letter was received Inst weik by Mr. D. M Graham from Judge Wallace, notifying him of the result of tbe examina? tion : "UNIOK, S. C., July 7, 1891. MY DEAR Sm: Mr. Blackman reports the result of the recent competitive examination to me as follows : J. D. Campbell, 1st; D. M. Graham, 2d ; Authen Grimball, 3d ; W. R. Davie, 4th ; W.O. Turner, 5tb ; Cornell, 6tb. Very truly yours, W H. WALLACE " It will be seen that Mr. Graham came ont second in the contest among eleven applicant?, all except six having given up early in the race. While it is provoking to have come so near getting the appointment Mr. Graham will have the consolation of knowing that he has arrived at a high degree of proficiency in tbe science he bas been studying for so short a time. Mr. Hartzell Honored. Rev. J. S. Hartzell, Assistant Rector of the Episcopal Churches here and in other Parishes in the County, yesterday received a com? munication from Philadelphia, notifying him of his election as a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, a renowned and useful organization composed of some of the most distinguished literary men of this country. Mr. Hartzell has our hearty congratulations upon having bis name enrolled along with those of the most emi? nent and gifted scholars and scientists of this country. Ingram to Travel for Sumter. A meeting of some of the prominent busi? ness men of the city was held yesterday to take into consideration the matters contained in the letter of Mr. W. H. lugrara to the property holders of the city, published in this paper. The sense of the meeting was that it would be a wise thing to send out Mr. Ingn m in order that an intelligent exposition of the advantages of the eily might be made. It was determined to collect the necessary funds from the Boa*"d of Trade to pay the expenses incident to his trip. It seems to us that it will be a good thing to have Sumter repre? sented by one so well acquainted with the advantages of the city She has already been advertised and the ball should be kept rolling Fire at the C. S. & N. Depot. About ll o'clock last night a shrill and prolonged whistling from one of the angices in the vicinity of the C. S. and N R R depot indicated that something was amiss. It was not however, until the glare and smok? was visible in that direction that any une sus? pected there was a fire One or two feeble strokes by the city bell was all that was beard in that quarter, the rope having broken at the first pull or two and the key to the bell tower not being on the premises, nothing was beard from the bell until tbe tire was well under way. The supply ware-room of thc C. S & N. R. R. Co., tank and engine and a locomotire engine were destroyed by fire. Some of the conten s of the supply room, which consisted of paints, oil, etc , were saved, but the great? er portion was burnt. The fire engines, owing to the mishap to the bell and conflict? ing reports as to the fire, did not arrive until it was too Inte to check it. The men on the ground did good work-the hardest effort of al! was to save the seven or eight loaded freight cars near by, which were loaded with grain and other valuable material. Afier some work they were run down the track out of reach of tbe flames. The Tiller's Ferry Tragedy. Mr. G. M. Barrett, of Bishopfiile, was in Sumter yesterday and is the first eve witness of the fatal affair we have seen. Mr. Barrett says the facts are as stated at the Coroner's inquest. He was at the gin bouse, under which a platform had been made for the young people to dance and the dancing had commenced Shaw bad taken Doras Kelly across the public road to the store on the op? posite side. He heard some, words pas? be? tween them in the crowd on the piazza. Saw Shaw put his arm around Kelley, and saw Kelley cut bim loose as it were. Bt fore he could cross the road and reach his side Shaw as lyi?g white and speechless in the throes of death. When he approached. Doras Kelly asked bim if he WHS a friend of the murdered man, and on replying that he was, he w*s told to leave or they would kill him. Mr. Barrett says Mr. Baskins, although badly cut, is thought to be getting well: The knife used by Kelly is described as having a long keen blade and looked very much as if it had been.sharpener' for !he occasion. The Kel? leys carno from tbe direction of the Gallo? way's, who have Urge vineyards and are said to manufacture a goodly amount of wine and cider. It is supposed the Kelleys imbibed too freely of these two beverage?, for they were fearfully intox:cated and acted like a pair of mad dog?. Nothing has been heard from Doras Kelley, who is thought to be somewhere in Darlington County, near the border, among his friends. Alliance Meeting? The County Alliance held its regu? lar meeting on Saturday 11th, inst., with closed doors. The meeting was to have been addressed by the district lecturer, with open doors, on district work (which is a new wheel in Alli? ance machinery,) but owing to the lateness of the hour, when the regular I County business was concluded, which ! was given precedence by a resolution of the body, tin* lecturer begged oil" "till next time." Great enthusiasm ! prevailed. I Mr. K. M. Wilson, who stands with I both feet on all Alliance demands, was i sent as a delegate lo the State Conven? tion. The following resolution after con? siderable discussion was passed : Resolved, That the Sumter County Alliance alli rms its adhesion to and faith in Alliance demands as formula? ted at Ocala. The following officers were elected to servo the ensuing year : J. II. Wil? son, President; K. M. Pitts, Vi<-<> President; E. M. Pitts, Secretary; T. VV. Leo, Treasurer; J. S. Richardson, Lecturer; W. J. Rees, Assistant Lec? turer; B. F.Wilson, Chaplain; B.D. Mitchell, Doorkeeper; \V. M. Sanders, Sergeant-at-Arms. Capt. E. M. Cooper and Mr. W. A. James, -Ir., were elected delegates to t he I>ist rici Council. The Alliance then adjourned to meet on second Friday in October, unless sooner called together by the Presi? dent. Chandler, Sh*w & Co , will receive this week 7 or 8 cases of soft and stiff hats in blacks, browns, and light shades. Latest blocks. That Park. The action of Council in accepting th?? gen? erous donation of thirty acres of land for a city park, recently made by Mr. W. H. Ingrt.ra on condition that the City connect the property with .Main Street by a bard driveway, bus been generally approved. Insiead of obligating to pave the street, the Council has wisely agreed to appropriate $2,000 in caf-h for that purpose-to be paid when the road is finished tn accordance with plans and specifications agreed upon and titles are properly executed. Two thousand dol? lars is a very small snm of mouey to pay for the valuable property thus acquired. Croakers can of course be easily found who will ol jed to the expenditure of this or any other sum in the way of public improvement \ but we are pleased to say the number of such people in our midst are rapidly growing "smaller by degr?s and beautifully less." A little figuring will convince the most captious that the expenditure is not only com? mendable as an encouragement and recogni? tion of the public spirited and enterprising liberality that prompted its donation, but in its character as a business investment will prove exceedingly profitable to the city. The land thus acquired is thirty acres of beautiful broken woodland, one mile weat from the Court House, at the bead of three of the principal avenues of the city. The natu? ral conformation of the grounds-a slight depression in the centre, 9hut in by a circle of bills, and all covered hy a splendid growth of large trees-leaves but little for art to do to make the park one of the most beautiful in the State. A low estimate will place the value of this property at S2,000-the amount to tie expended for this road. Wheo the road is completed it will be the first hard driveway of any considerable length the city has ever had. This road is the properly of the city and is well worth its cost. So far il will be seen that the city is clearly $2,000 ahead in the investment But still in addition to these must be considered in mak? ing up the profits to the city, the enhanct ment in property affected by the road as a basis of taxation. In order lo put the Park under pc lire prc tection, the city limits will have to be extend? ed so as to take in the park and neeess&rry about 160 acre9 of land in its immedia e neighborhood, thus increasing the taxab'e property of the city about $100,000. TbfSe figures are not extravagant, and we cordially commend them to the consideration of the croakers. It is urged as a chief objection to the park that it will be too far from the centre of pop? ulation. If the city is always to remain what it now is. that objection would be of some force; but ia it reaecnahle to suppose that we will never grow larger? That we will never have street cars ? The park itself may and probably will soon become a centre of popu? lation. Il ii proposed, we learn, by the par? ties interested in the property, to procure a handsome hotel to be built on the property as a resort for Northern Winter visitors, after the style of Hobkirk Inn, of Camden. We ctn see nothing to object to and everything to commend in the acceptance of Mr. Ingram's offer by the city. Pine apple Ices still booming at Gilliland's soda water fountain.
