The re mains were brought to thia city oo Friday evening for interment and th? fanera! services were he'd it St. Lawrence Church on Satur day morning at lo o'clock. Mr Feehan was formerly a resident of Charleston and came io this city to live with bis daughter, Mrs. R. P Monaghan, several year?ago. He has numerous friends both in this city and bis former borne, who heard j ot bis death with regret, j Mrs. J. D. Myers died very suddenly on ! last Saturday morning, at 2.30 o'clock, of I heart disease, at her home near Providence. An inquest was held over ber body, and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict in accord? ance with above. Mrs. Myers was in her usual health the day before her dmih, and spent that day with ber sister Mrs. Jno. Kingman, returning borne in ! he afternoon. After attending to ber domes? tic duties she retired for the night. Shortly before the hour of her death, her husband was awakend by au unnatural breathing. After calling to her and receiving no response, be snook ber and still no response. Mr. Myers then lighted a lamp and it was only to see her gasp twice, and her end had come. Ber re? mains were interred at Horeb Church on Sun? day at noon. Revs. Millicbamp and Chand? ler officiating.

The boase on the Corner of Repa h Hean and Sumter Streets was buroed this morning at 4 o'clock. The fire was produced by the explosion of a lamp, which Mr. Eugene Hogan, who occupied the house, left burn? ing wheo he retired. The fire was well advanced wheo discovered, and Mr. Hogan saved only a few articles of clothing and furniture. The reel from Epperson's Stable was the first tc renrn the fire, and three others arriv? ing soon after, four streams were turned on the blaze, and it was soon extinguished. The roof bad fallen in and the building is a complete wreck It is the property of Mrs. S. F. Burst and cost $1,300 to build about five years ago The bouse was insured for $1,000. Mr. Hogan had* $400 insurance on his household furniture. Chief Bloom was on hand, and the fire was handled' in a fireman-like manner. It is boped that the reel squads will be organized without further delay. Attempted Lynching. Lyocbing bas become so popular that almost every place has one to report every few weeks. Fortunately Sumter has not yet em? barked in the lyockiog industry, bot a few negroes undertook, oo Sunday night to set the ball io motion. Willie Davis got into a row with some negro children oa Sunday night who were teasing his doe and a negro woman assumed the row. He slapped tbe woman, wbieb so enraged ber friend? they organized a lynch mg party and weat for Davis. He took refuge in hie bouse and sent for the police. When the police arrived they found the bouse besieged. They went io to the house, but Davis could not be found. Be had departed by tbe back way. He came io oo Mooday morning and delivered himself to the police sod expiai oed that be ran'to keep from being lynched and not from the police. Tte follow? ing negroes who composed the would-be lynch? ing posse have been indicted for riot and breaking tbe peace : Henry McKnight, Robert Davis, Simon Dingle, Abraham Davis, Henry Davis, Linda Gaillard, Mary Davis, Judy Dicksand Minda Dingle. * We New Stores. The new stores of B. J. Barnett, D. J. Winn, and Ducker ? Bultman, on Maia Street are just completed, aod they are ornaments to the city. Mr. Barnett's store, "io the bend," ts the most showy store io the city. The froot isa combination of iron aod plate glass ar. 3 isas substantial as handsome. The en*:re interior of the store is finished io yellow pine panell? ing, bard oil finished. The interior is a sbaad some as the exterior. Mr. Barnett moved into his store on yesterday. The two stores owned by Mr. D J. Winn will be occupied by W. B. Burns, hardware, and D. J. Chandler, clothing. These stores have a solid brick froot covered with white cement, aod present a beautiful appearance. The stores are fire-proof and have double-floors with Hsbestoes paper between. Tbe interior finish ts stylish and substantial. Ducker and Bultmaa's nsw place is the widest store in the city and has a depth of 150 feet. The front is a combination of pre?sed brick, granite, iron and glass The show windows, ten feet in width, will each be com? posed of a single pane of plate glass. Tbe interior of the store is very handsomely fin? ished. The ceiling is papered and varnished which gives the store a bright and pleasing appearance. The shelving and counters are being arranged to exactly snit each depart? ment of the busioess. Cultivated Hay. Mr. Wm. M. Graham is the leadiog bay coltorist of Sumter, and his harvest season is now almost at band. A representative of thia paper rode around bis bay fields in the Turkey Creek bottoms a few days since, and it was a gratifying sight in this cotton-ridden country. His present crop will give a yield of at least 1\ tons of prime grass and pea vine hay per acre. The land ia highly cultivated and manured and peas thinly broadcasted over it, and the grasp, principally of the crab aod crowfoot varities, is of spon? taneous growth. The land is prepared by deep plowing and thoroughly pulverized by harrowing. The first crop will be mown next week and another crop will be harvested from the same land before frost. The second crop will consist almost entirely of crab grass, and the yield will be only slightly less j i thau the firat crop. All his oat land is sown down in peas and the bay from this will ba harvested in the late Summer, and should frost be late a second crop may be obtained here also. Mr. Graham finds ready sale for ail the hay be cares to place on the market, and he finds from the experience of a number of years, that bay is tbe most profitable crop that cao be grown in this country. Last year his crop averaged more than 1\ tons per acre. A J Carr, a negro poll tax delinquent, was arrested on Monday by Constable Schwerin, and it required the united efforts of five men to conduct bim to the jail. The Charleston, Sumter and Northern R. R has a direct Schedule to the resorts to North Carolina and Virginia and has issued a ueat folder showing the advantages of the route, The City Council at ?he meeting last nigh ? on petition of citizens, decided to take steps to abate the nuisance that the cess pool at the (ail bas become. This is a beginning, and it is boped that Council will order 13 ve ry dry well and cess pool ia the city fi Med. Messrs. Strauss A Weinberg the former owners of the Palace Saloon, are not running i ooft drink establishment, as has been stated. L'/iey have ao office in the front of the store inti ?sep a stock of cigars and tobacco, and he re.nr of the store is rented to Mr. D. Joserdu?rf, who sells soft drinks. The So i"U ter base ball team lea ves for Fayette rille, N- C.. to-day.

All toi.i there were 525 xcursiooists, 410 of whom gol aboard at tatioos in this county. Remember that Winburo's Gallery will be >pen all the Summer, so don't put off having our picture takeu^ Visitors always wel owed. lt. Freight at Oamden Junction. Mr. W. Y. L. Marshall of this city appeared before the Railroad Commission last week in the inte.est of the transfer of freight at the Camden Junction. Several months ago an arrangement was perfected for the transfer of car load lots, but up to date there bas not been a transfer made. An arrangement for the transfer of freight in packages in now sought, and there is considerable force in the argument urged in lavor of the arrangement. Yet the Commis? sion does not fee] like demanding the conces? sion from the railroads as no use bas been made of the concession already obtained, and unless there should be indica? tions that there would be sufficient business to pay the roads for the expense to he incurred, it would seem a hardship to force the transfer of freight ia packages. Consideration of the matter was postponed to a future date, when Mr. Mar? shall will again go before the Commission,and will present evidence to prove that the con? cession ie not only necessary to the business of Sumter, but would be profitable to the roads. --?? mmmm Tennis Tournament. Messrs. WE. Miked, Henry Clark, Pani Kennedy, Hugh Haynsworth, isaac Harby, Stuart, E. A. Solomons, Herbert Moses, Noah Osteen and Eugene Ingram, participat? ed in a tennis tournament that continued tbroogh several evenings last week into this week. There was some very pretty playing,and the tournament was so much enjoyed hy all that others will probably be arranged. The prises were won by Messrs. Clark, Mikelland - Chosen Friends. A council of Chosen Friends was organised last night with 30 charter" members. The officers elected were Col. J. D. Graham, Past Chancellor, D. Rosendorf, Chancellor, J. M. Spann, Vice-Chancellor, C. H. Rhame, Prelate, P. P. Gaillard, Secretary, G. W. Ham mell, Treasurer, J. A. Foxworth, Mar? shall, M. Manheim, Warden, W. A. Burgess, Inner Guard, R. A. Lawrence, Outer Guard. - - i ? - - There was talk on the streets yesterday of a meeting of the colored firemen to be held last night for the purpose of giving expres? sion to their disapproval of the election of Mr. H. B. Bloom as Chief of the fire department. It is learned tbis morning that the meeting was not held, and it is to be hoped that the colored firemen, who have never failed te do the best work at fires, have concluded to be governed by common sense and will not attempt to interfere with what they have no right. Bisbopville Gleanings. We had a fine rain on Wednesday and the crops are looking much better. The rain was very heavy about three miles above this place, (Musing a washout on the N. & S. C. R. R. The Bisbopville Guards, accompanied by many citizens, went to Red Springs on the excursion of the 19th. All report a splendid trip. Mr. Willie Bradley who has been ill with typhoid fever is much better. A series of meetings afb beitigconducted at the Methodist Church, tbe pastor Rev. T. Dent is ? -isted by Rev. Mr. Airial, of Co? lumbia. Tbe base ball team go to Florence next week where they will play a series of games. M.G - i i - - Ionia Items. IONIA, 3. C., July 21, 1893 We have had some rains here the last two days, but nothing like enough. At Spring Hill, about aine miles from here, they have been having good rains for a week or more. A gentleman from that section said it was because they did not use so much tobacco there as we did. Well, we will quit chewing if it does not rain soon, as we are about out of tobacco. Crops of all kinds are behind what they were this time last year. We have been traveling around some, and we must say that the crops in our section are as good, if not better than any we have seen. Tbe Pomona met the Beulah Grange last Wednesday. We were there and bad a jolly time. Tbe abundance spread on the table toeat and the wagon loads of horse feed made us forget the bard times One of our friends from Spring Hill ate a whole mutton except the head. To prove to him that he did eat it all, we picked up the bones and put them together and made the sheep except the flesh and head. There are several cases of typhoid fever here. One death bas occurred, Miss Agnes Ammoos, a young lady just in the prime of life. She was buried yesterday at Spring Hill. Her father. Mr. A. Amnions, and ber mother's brother aod ber brother-in-law, Mr. Wash Meyers, are all down with the fever. One of our young men went to see his best girl a few days ago. He gave ber little sister a nickel to kiss ber and then come aod kiss him. That is a long time between kisses. A protracted meeting will begin at Rattle? snake Springs to-oight. Rev. Mr. Battis will assist Rev. T. G. Corbett. A protracted meeting will also begin at Spring Hill to-morrow. PLOW BOY. Judge Hudson's Restraining Order Stayed and Superceded.

' This is the only action of this kind on the jart of a member of the Supreme Bench ex :ept the former action of Judge Pope io the Sullivan murder case.- Columbia Journal, ?Otb. Dispensary in Darlington - DARLINGTON, July 21 -Under Justice Pope's order the dispensary was opened here :o-day at 1 o'clock, with moderate sales. Late ?hia afternoon another surprise was ?riven as follows: The liquor fight has been laily waxing warmer, and to-day's develop aient? are startling. An action has been com? menced againstS-itoon Keeper J. M. James by J. C. Willcox in the name of the State of South Carolina, similar in all respects to the charleston case against Chicco. Judge Hud? son was asked for an order of injunction, and for an order of search and seizure. In an elaborate opinion both orders were refused. The Judge's decision was based on Lhe unconstitutionality of the Act giving a Judge sitting in equity the powers of ministe? rial trial justices and conferring upon the 3ourt of Equity the powers belonging exclu uvely to the Court of General Sessions. Under this ruling there can be no confisca ion of property belonging to liquor sellers in his 4th circuit. The liquor dealers are jubilant over the >re?ent status and speak of opening at once ind uiay do so. The bar room of J. M. fames, the defendant in this action, is only wo doors from the dispensary and a lively ompetition may be expected The condition if affairs is more than surprising and it is afe to say that if stringent measures are esorted to by the Administration the federal Courts will be appealed to. The fi?ht ;oes on apace, and "Lay on Macduff, seems o be tbe spirit of tbe occasion.-Neus and fourier. - --MS?- ? m <a-?- - Good Evening 1 Have you used-Ab I here is no need of my saying any thing fur? ber, 1 am sure you will hereafter use nothing ut tbe Famous Blush of Roses for your com lexion.

C., October 30th, 1892, Sallie English Dulin, wife of C. M. Hurst, aged forty-two years five, months and thirteen days. The subject of this notice was the daughter of a well known Charleston merchant, Rice Dulin, Esq., who removed to Arkansas with his family soon after the late war. Returning to Sooth Carolina after the death of her father, she became the wife Mr. C. M. Hurst of Sumter, March 26th, 1885 She waa a consistent member of the Episcopal Church, and lived "soberly, righteously and godly in this present world." As a wife, she was gentle and affectionate ; as a friend, faithful and kind. She suffered much and long, but she endured "as Seeing Him who is invisible," and was always bright, cheer? ful and hopeful, with a trust in God that never faltered, and a faith that never wavered. She loved God with aii her heart, and ber neighbor as herself. Doubtless she is now enjoying "the rest that remainetb fo the people of God." Those who knew her best bold ber in loving memory. "Grant unto ber eternal rest, 0, Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon ber." JOHN KERSHAW. Are You Going to the World's Fair? If so, see that your ticket reads via Cin? cinnati and the C. H. & D. and Mooon-tbe acknowledged "Worlds Fair Route." The only line out of Cincinnati connecting with E T. V. k G. and Q ? C. train No. 2, arriving Cincinnati 10:30 P. M. A solid train carrying through sleepers from Jackson? ville, Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta, Chat? tanooga, Macon and New Orleans via E. T. V. k G., Q. k C , C. H. k D. and Monon Roa te to Chicago. You can stop over io Cincinnati if your ticket reads Tia the C. H. & D. and Monon Route, by depositing same with the Merchants' and Manufacturers Association, Chamber of Commerce Building, corner of Fourth and Vine Streets, one block from Fountain Square (the C. H. & D ticket office is in the same building.) This enables you to visit the picturesque "Queen City" at no additional cost, and special efforts will be made to enter? tain strangers hospitably and reasonably. The universal verdict of the traveling pub? lic is that the Pullman Safety Vestibuled tra?as, running every day, "and Sunday too," via tbe C. H. k D. and Monon, between Cincinnati Indianapolis and Chicago, are without doubt tbe "finest on earth." These trains were especially built by tbe Pullman Company for this service, and embrace every improvement. Their magnificent coaches, luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers, ob servatin cars, compartment sleeping cars and unexcelled dining car service, afford "all tbs comforts of home." Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the double tracks ron threugh tbe very front door yards of the finest suburban homes ia the country. Beyond Hamilton and up to Indianapolis, the line is aeted for its scenic beauty. A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of ] Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your ticket with the Secretary of the Commen?ai Club. This city is more worthy of a visit than almost any other of its size in the West, and offers the greatest inducements to travel? ler and tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chicago the line traverses the very best agri? cultural and commen?ai territory, and tbe ride is one of unparalleled comfort and beauty. Bear in mind that the C. H. k D. and Mo? non Route trains all run via Burnside Cross? ing, from which point tbe Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to tbe World's Fair Grounds every moment. At Englewood connection is made with the electric cars, which ron every five minutes to the grounds, but we recommend all persons to go directly into tbe Dearborn Station, which is located in the heart of the city and from which all street car lines converge, tben go directly by car or cab to your hotel or board? ing place. First locate yourself; know where and bow you are to live while in Chi? cago. Get the locality firmly fixed in your mind, before going to tbe World's Fair by any of tbe numerous convenient ways ; cable cars, electric roads, elevated railroad, Illinois Central R. R , suburban trains and the steam? boats afford ample accommodations for all possible visitors, aad it is but five minutes ride from the business portion of the city to the grounds. Take your breakfast down town, buy your lunch at the grounds, and take your supper down town. If you will follow these suggestions you will save money. The facilities for serving lunch at the World'9 Fair Grouuds are extraordinary and the prices are cheaper than at your own home, bot breakfast and supper should be taken down town, or at your boarding boose. The World's Fair is already tbe most - astounding aud stupendous spectacle ever attempted by any people, and a day* visit will afford more delight and instruction than can possibly be obtained in any other way or by the same ex? pendiere of money.

Many curious and interesting sights are seen on the Midway Plaisance, this street of all nations, the Mecca of all visitors to tbe Great Worlds Fair, at Chicago; but among all its exhibits the "Panorama of the Swiss Alps" is doubtless tbe most highly artistic. To those whose good fortune it has been to go "abroad," this panorama awakens old mem? ories, and to th? many who have been less fortunate this really grand painting is a reve? lation. It is a perfect representation of the Famed Bernese Oberland, as it would appear in all tb? immensity of reality to a sight-seer io tbe midst of the Alps. The illusion is made perfect by tbe truthfulness of local color and by the vigorous and sincere painting of such irtists asItar?nd, Baud-Bovy and Furet. This superb canvas was painted in Paris, France, for the express purpose of exhibition at the World's Fair and has received the well de? served encomiums of all the leading French ind American artists.

As a rule when a person has made free use of soap he feels invigorated, and has an inclina? tion to eat something. What could be nicer at such time, than to have a supply of Fresh Fancy Crackers? FIRST You can be certain when you buy them of us, you will find them fresh, for we renew the stock every week. m SECOND You can be certain you are getting nothing but the very highest grade of goods, for we buy only from the very best manufacturers. THIRD You can be certain that you will pay no more for these Fresh, First Class Goods, than you would have to pay some others for stale, unwholesome goods, made of cheap flour, glucose and poisonous baking powder. Our stock in this line con? sists partly of the following varieties : Dessert Mixed, Sponge Dessert Chocolate and Cream Balle? Vanilla Creams, Graham Wafers* Cocoanut Taffy, Egg Biscuits* Animals for King Baby, Snowflakes, Lunch Milk Biscuit. Besides all the staples. j "While eating this light lunch you will probably want sorne^ thing to dritlk. What could be more refreshing than a glass of limeade, made of Montserrat Lime Juice? You will find this a most delightful drink-espe? cially when you add a dash of one of our Pure Fmit Juices. Do not start on your Summer outing without some of these cooling drinks, or if compelled to stay at home, get a supply anyway. Fruit Will be plentiful this year,,so We have bought ? large supply of Mason's Fruit Jars, in 2 quarts, 1 quart and pints. These are always hard to find late in the season, so buy at once. We still have the reputation of keeping the finest and best stock of Fancy Groceries to be found in Middle South Caro? lina, and at prices as low as at which inferior ?oods are sold. REMEMBER If you are not trading with us, you do not live as well as your neighbor who does, while your living costs you as much. Keepcctfnlfy, DUCKER & BULTMAN, Sumter, S. C.

The best Fisherman is not always the most successful. He may have the best fishing tackle, the finest of rods, and the bait that should take ; but if he does not fish in the proper waters, he will not catch what he expected. The man that wishes to insure his life and seeks the best policy, may visit In? surance Companies and yet measurably fail in his fishing. He may be told this is the best pond, that the best stream, but when he goes to an Agent of the PENN MUTUAL LIFE he will know he is in the proper place to get the prize fish. Penn Mutual Life. Assets-.-$20,250,000. Surplus ~-.-.$2,600,000. There is no stronger Company in the country, few so strong. The relation of Assets to Liabilities shows this ; hut there are other elements of strength in in? telligence, cdpacity and intecfriti/ of management and a prolonged experience. For further information address, A. C. PHELPS, G??'l Agent, SUMTER, S. C. HARRIS1 LITHIA WATER, HARRIS' IJITHIA SPRTIfGS, fc. After a long and varied experience in the u.?eof M ingra I Waters from ninny sources, both foreign and domestic, I aro fully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions Of the Kidney and Bladder unequaled by any other water of which I have made trial. m this opinion is based upon, observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during which time ? h*ve perscribed it freely and almost t?oift?rtnly with benefit tn the me?icabl? maladies above mentioned. When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient nse of the Water, for my experience tenches me that froth one to two quarts dally should b? taken froth two to four weeks to secure its full remedial effects.
