Sncday night, about 12 o'clock, the bouse
on Levi Avenue belonging to Mr. M. Levi,
of Manning, and occupied by Mr. E. C.
Nichols, was discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was given as quickly as possible, but
before the fire department arrived the house
next adjoining, also the property of Mr. Levi,
and occupied by Mr. M. Dorse, took fire, and
it seemed at one time that both bouses would
burn down, but the good work of the firemen
saved one.
The bouses were insured for $1,000 each, |
which will probably corer the loss. Mr. j
Dorse saved all of bis effects, but Mr. Nichols' j
loss was about $600. Insured for about one- j
half.

Street Crossings.
On a day like yesterday one is inclined to
turn his thoughts to the great need of some
some sort of street crossing along oar maia
thoroughfares. The cost of keeping the exist?
ing crossings clean for a year is, we believe,
equal to what would be tbe cost of laying
granite blocks, which would require no
cleaning, and also enable pedestrians to
cross tbe street dryshod.

A Terrible Explosion.
Mr. John E Law, of Elliotts, was killed
OQ Saturday morning by tbe explosion of the
boiler of'bis steam engine and Messrs. H. E.
Mooneybam, J. C. Bollock and J. J. Luckey,
and two negroes were, injured. Tbe engine
was an old one, and was used to run an edg?
ing saw. Tbe engine is said to bare been out
of repair and to bave bad no steam or water
gauge.
Mr. Law was standing near tbe engine when
tbe expirion occurred, and his body, was
blown through the roof of the engine shed
and fell about thirty feet distant. The top ot
his head was blowb off, both arms, and both
leg? broken, and the body punctured in several
places by fragments of the boiler. The boiler
and engene were entirely demolished, one
portion being blown to a distance of one
hundred and fifty yards. Tbe engine shed
was a complete wreck, and the scene of the
terrible disaster presented a spectacle of ruin
when se?*n on Saturday afternoon, by a
reporter of thia.paper.
Mr. J. J. Luckey, loe fireman soffered|the
most serious injury of tbe wounded, rle was
fearfully scalded on one side of bis body
from the top of hts bead to his feet At first
it waa thought that his eyesight had been
destroyed, but be is now abie to see with oue
eye. Though bis injuries are serious he may
recover. Mr. H. E. Mooneybam received a
severe scalp wound and several bruises on bis
face. Mr. J. C. Bollock received painful
injuries about the bead and mee. Two
negroes were also scalded, but not seriously.
Coroner W. H. Commander was notified
by wiireof the accident on Saturday morning
and went to Elliotts that afternoon to hold
the toques?. A verdict was rendered in
accordance with the facts. No cause for the
explosion is known beyond the facts above
stated.
The fuoerai services of Mr. Lew were held
at St. Luke's church on Sunday
moraine and the body there interred in the
presence of an unusually large gathering of
hi3 friends and neighbors. He was tbe eldest
son of Mr J. McL). Law, and was twenty
three years of age. He leaves a wife-nee
Miss Lizzie English-and one child. He waa
a member of Game Cock Lodge, K. of P.,
and bad many friendsjn this city, who were
shock ed and grieved at the sudden and terrible
death that bef?? him.

Some of the Present Needs of
Sumter.
First. A modern post office building, and
one more centrally located tban the present
unpretentious affair.
Second. The bouses should be numbered,
and wheo that is done then a business
directory will be the next acquisition. To
the progressive business: mau this would
indeed be a happy boon.
Third. There should be more lights than at
present, and if tbe "City Fathers" can't give
electric lights, why then,, do the next best
thing, by having kereosne lamps put up in
dark neighborhoods, and especially at the
intersection of streets.
There is a bridge across Washington Street
at tbe intersection of Bartlett Street, and
with no light, upon a dark, dreary nigbt it
is dangerous to find one's way across. Tbis
is, perhaps, one out of many which should
be attended to at once.
Fourth. Truck farming-I wish I could
write it upon some of the business "cards"
which may be seen around the city. No city
can supply a floating population, with
seasonable vegetables, on small garden
patches cultivated within the corporate
limits. Vegetables are codducive to health,
and every city should take especial pride in a
low death rate Where are the acres of
strawberries, etc., so commonly seen outside
of our seaport. 1 have been in and around
the city for six months, and have yet to see
one acre devoted to truck farming. Those
who control lands near the city should wake
up to the present necessity, and prepare for
early vegetables. Let cotton go ; for there is
no money in its present cultivation, but j
with judicioas management and inteusive
farming, there is abundant reward to the I
wise truck farmer. SIASONS
