The Jervey House Burglar.
Chief Weeks can be depended on wbec any
?lerer detective work is needed. He exerted
himself to ferret ont the burglar who robbed
Kr. Davis at the Jervey House recently. He
aad tesson to believe a man by the name of
Boston Simmons, who has been a waiter at
this hotel for sevetat years, was the guilty
party. He was told by Mr. Week?* if he did
not deliver up the stolen money and articles
at a certain specified time, of the dire penal?
ties that would fail therein. This was more
than Boston could stand, so he boarded tbe
midnight train on the Coast Line for parts
unknown and has not feen beard of since.
"Actions speak louder than words."
Kr. Jervey, however, seems to think the
^policeman is mistaken and said as tbe feeling
against Boston was strong be advised bim to
?eave.
Safe Bobbery.
On Thursday night, 16th instant, between
what is supposed 10 and ll o'clock, the iron
aafein the office of the ice factory was robbed
ct about $20 in silver. It seems that about
three weeks ago Mr. Eugene Moses, who had
the teeys of the inner door, and drawers of
the sole, had occasion to dress, down at tbe
office for tbe -'Distribution Hop" at Armory
HaH, aed tn changing his clothes forgot bis
bunch of keys in the pockets of those left at i
the office. He missed them the next morning i
aad has ever since. Thursday the combina?
tion lock of the safe and tbe door of tbe office
wera left open. The engineer bearing Mr.
Meses' dogs barking about the time referred j
to, walked back to tbe office. Finding tbe
door Hocked, he weot around to tbe window,
which was open, and on the ground be dis- <
cohered fresh foot prints as if some one bad
just jumped out of tbe window and run off.
An examination of the safe, showed that one
of the drawers had bees opened and very
hastily robbed of the silver it contained, as
tbe thief overlooked a half dollar in the
drawer. He did not touch tbe under drawer,
which also contained money. The engineer
thinks the barkiog of tbe dogs put an end to
further depredations. It was a lucky cir- j
camstaoce that the dogs cam- to the factory
that night, as it is only occasionally they
take it into their beads to do so.
It is thought by Mr. Moses that tbe person
who took the keys ie tbe guilty party. Sus?
picion first pointed to a mun by the name of
Bogart, who bad been employed at the factory
* and bad been.discharged a day or two pre
; .viona to the robbery. Chief Weeks wired the
authorities at Augusta, wbere he was sup- j
posed to have gone, te arrest biro, but they
were afraid to act on merely the suspicion of ?
Kr. Weeks, and so telegraphed back.

pah, in the upper part of Sumter County,
July 23d, instant, after a long illness, in thc
eighty-eighth year of her age.
? From the Greenville News of 22d inst, we
clip the following account of the dea:h of
I Capt. Joel Beard, father of Maj. W. J. Beard,
who for many years, was & citizen of our city.
We extend our sincere sympathy to our
friend in his bereavment. "The remains of
Capt. Joel Beard, who died at the home of
j h:s daughter, Mrs. C. E. Watson, in ibis city,
Monday night, 20th inst., were taken to Wal?
halla yesterday for interment. Captain
Beard was born and reared in Fair?eld coun?
ty. He was a gallant soldier of the late war
and was captain of Company F, 12ih South
; Carolina Regiment. He fought io many of
tne hardest battles and received a wound at
the battle of the Wilderness from which he
never fully recovered. In 1868 be moved to
; Oconee couoty, near Walhalla. He was
twice elected to the legislature from bis adopt?
ed county. He'enjoyed toe confidence and
respect of his people. He was for 37 years a
member of the Baptist church and served as
deacon for 25 years.
The letter of our Beaver Dam correspendent
is unavoidably crowded out this week.
j Among other items he mentions, that three
old citizens were buried last Wednesday the
22d.Messrs Jarars Holland of Kershaw, and J.
W.' McGaskill and Joshua Marsh of Sumter

Charleston's Hospitality.
The excursion and entertainment tendered
the business men of Beanettsville, Darlington
and Sumter, by the citizens of Charleston, on
the 27-29, was just such a success as might
have been expected when it wa3 announced
that they had undertaken it.
We cannot go into details this week as we
were ready to go to press as our representative
returned after having for two days been the
bappy recipient of Cliarleston's generous hos?
pitality.
There were, in all, 137 representative men
from the three cities before mentioned, the
largest number being from this place.
The party were entertained the first night
at the New Brighton on Sullivan's Island.
The next morning we were taken on a sail
around the harbor and up to the phosphate
! works, and then to the city, where we were
entertained at the Charleston Hotel. The
? banquet last night was a superb affair, com?
plete io every detail. There were numerous
toasts and responses, Col. Jos. H. Earle re?
sponding to, "The City of Sumter." When
Col. Earle arose to speak be received a perfect
ovation, it being more than a minute before
be could begin bis remarks.
We left the city at 9:20 this morning from
the East Shore terminal wharf, after having
inspected that company's cotton compress,
which is the most powerful in the State. It
reduces three bales of cotton to the size that
other compresses reduce one. The combined
delegations of Marlboro, Darlington and Sum?
ter adopted resolutions thanking the people
of Charleston for their hospitality, and the C.
S and N. railroad for the accommodations
afforded the excursionists. The Marlboro and
Darlington delegations passed resolutions
thanking the business men of Sumter for the
lunch and other refreshments served on the
; train going down to Charleston.
We shall give a full account of this love
feast between Charleston aod a section of the
State hitherto cut off from that city, next
week. Our space, and time prevent us doing
so DOW.

Despite the inclemency of the weather, the
Fourth Regiment Band gave their concert
last evening, as advertised, to a fairly good
audience. An interesting program consisting
of instrumental and vocal music by members

masterly manner. Mr. Herbert Bennett's reci?
tation. "The Irish Ph:lo?op:>*r,,: was excel?
lent and brought down the house. The vocal
music by Mrs. H. J. Harby and Miss Anita
DeLorme, and the instrumenta! music by Mrs.

all choice selections and rendered in a manner'
which could but add to their enviable reputa,
tiou as musicians.

COLUMBIA, S. C., July 24, 1391.
MR. EDITOR:-1 send you this enclosed letter

COLUMBIA, S. C., July 24th, 1891.
CAPT. J. F. DIVINE, Geo'l. Supt.
W. C. and A. R. R., Wilmington, N. C.
DEAR SIR:-I desire to congratulate you on
the splendid condition of your main line,
which we have just inspected. Your trestles
and bridges are all in fine order, your depots
neat and all clean and commodious : but one
thing you luck for the comfort of the public,
and I feel it my duty to call your attention to
the same and request that you look into the
matters and instruct tbe station agents in
their duties.
1st. I desire to commend Conductor Brun
so8 for the prompt manner in which be laid
hold of and ejected a drunken white man from
the passenger coach a few eveningssince, com?
ing out of Columbia. Said drunken man was
annoying the rest of tbe passengers and using
indecent language.
2d. In passing Sumter station a noisy
crowd of white boys jumped on the train and
rode without paying fare to the crossing of
the C. S. and N. R. R , annoying the passen?
gers who bad paid. They clung on to the
train and experimented as to how far they
could go and at what rate of speed they conld
jump off and not break their necks. This
should be stopped.
3d. In passing Sumter station about a week
ago some dozen or more colored people who
had been attending a public meeting of some
sort, boarded the train. There was a crowd
of from seventy-five to 100, who came tosee
them off. As soon as the train arrived they
crowded around the steps effectually blocking
the progress of the passengers and preventing
others from boarding tbe train, thereby caus?
ing delay and great annoyance and vexation.
This crowding around the depot is a direct
violation of General Statutes, section 1515.
In section 1516 is found the remedy.
4th. On board the train at the same time
were several ladies traveling alone. One
negro man and two women in th* first class
coach bf their loud swaggering talk took pos?
session of the coach to the annoyance and dis?
comfort of the other passengers.
The conductors should be instructed that
there is but little difference so far as the dis?
comfort of the public is concerned between a
man drunk with whiskey and a man offen?
sively drunk with his own self importance.
The crowding of the platforms of the depots
on the arrival of trains is prevalent all along
the line, especially during the cotton picking
season. This is a great annoyance, and I beg
you will see that it is not continued to the
discomfort of the traveling public.
Yours respectfully, H. R. THOMAS,
Railroad Commissioner.
