An in- j vestigation showed the papers and their ! holder in a blaze that almost reached the ceil- j ing, and was in dangerous proximity to the lamp. Tbe fire was extinguished without ; sounding an alarm, and before any serions i damage bad been done. Moral : Be careful where you throw match end3. --^mm>+--++- wm A Shooting Paster. The trouble between Pastor Harmon and j the members of the Shiloh (colored) Baptist Church of this city took a new turn on yes- j terday, which added considerably more inter- j est to tbe quarrel. George Stokes, one of the members who withdrew from Harmon's Church, had forbid? den the pastor to come to his house, and when he saw him in that vicinity yesterday started for bim with a stick, whereupon Harmon drew a pistol and fired at Stokes twice, neith? er shot taking effect. Stokes bad Harmon brought before Trial Justice Manning on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Harmon plead self-defense, and the evidence sustaining him, he was released. Harmon afterwards had Stokes arrested and bound over to keep the peace. Married. Februar j 28, 1894, at the residence of the bride's mother io Clarendon County, Mr. Edwin F.

[Our congram in t ions to the happy couple, ia whom we take a special interest, from our long and intimate association with Mr. Miller in the past. That ?hey may live long and happy together is the hearty wish of the W. i si . Religious There will be a special service by the chil? dren at the Methodist Church on next Sunday night. A collection will be taken for mis? sions. There will be services at St. Philip's Ch arch, Bradford Springs, next Sunday at 12 o'clock. The Rev John Kershaw will (D. V.) con? duct the services at the Church of the Holv Comforter next Sunday, at ll a m. and 5 p. m. The Communion will be celebrated at tbe morning service. The Rev. Dr. Evans of Trinity Church, Columbia, preached to lat ge and attentive congregations at the Episcopal Church this city last Sunday. Those of onr people who heard him, were much pleased both with the matter and the manner of hit sermons. The sermon on *-*Oor Duty .to the Negro," which Mr. Brown says was -'snowed under," will be delivered at the Baptist Church on Sunday night. Service will commence here? after at 8 P. M. Services are being carried on io the Metho? dist Church every night this week. There were several accessions to the membership last Sunday. On account of these services, the lecture on "Prehistoric Sooth Caro? lina" to have been delivered before the Lodge of Good Templars to-night by the Rev. J. W. Daniel, has been postponed. There will be no meeting of the lodge this week. A Convenient Schedule. The C. S. & N now runs & most conven? ient schedule. Passengers for Atlanta can leave here on the evening train, make close connection at Pregnalls and arrive in Atlanta next morning. How much better this is than the old way of being on the road part of the night and ali day. The business of this road bas a1 ?o increased in a very marked degree lately and its pros? pects are bright for soon getting out of the bands of a Receiver. -New Building and Loan Company. Mr. W. K. Witherspoon, representing the United Banking and Building Company of Richmond, Ya., has organt3-d a local board ?in this city with the following officers: T. B. Fraser, Jr., President and A'torney ; A. B. Stuckey, Secretary and Treasurer: Board of Directors, T. B. Fraser, Jr., L W. Folsom, A. B Stackey, Marion Sauders, N. G. Osteen; Board of Apperaiser, A. B. Stuckey, L. W. Folsom, Marion Sanders. The City Census. The following are the returns ot 'he census recently taken by the citv: Ward 1, 640 Ward 2, 1,562 Wara 3, 1,555 Ward 4, 1,555 Total, 5,312 These are not the official figures, but are those reported by the takers to be submitted to the City Council. County Board of Equalization. This Board will meet next Tuesday, in the auditor's office, this city. The township Boards ar? still at work. On account of the lateness of the completion of their work, the notification to property holders of the changes made in assessments, will probably not reach them before Monday next. For this reason all persons interested will do well to call for their mail on that day, so that they may meet the County Beard on Tuesday and appeal, should they so desire, from the changes made. Packsville's Ex-Postmaster Caught. Wbeu -the postoffice at Packs vii le was burned some weeks since, there were suspicious circumstances attending it which have now been explained. On the eve of turning the office over to Mr. J. M. Bradham, his successor, Henry C. Tinda!;, colored post? master, bad tbe misfortune (?) to lose, by fire as he claimed, not only the office itself but all its contents, including stamps and blanks. Mr. Bradham, as soon as be could, opened a new office and proceeded to business. Recently Postmaster Gaillard paid a money order for $30.96. drawn by the office at Packsville on this office, and purporting to be signed by Postmaster Bradham. Postmaster Gaillard was informed that the order was irregular and that upon ivestigatioa it was | ascertained that Brndham's name waa a i forgery. Tindal waa suspected of being the ! guilty party, and a watch was kept for bim. j Last Thursday Mr. E. I. Reardon spotted i bim in the city, and Sergt. Bradford was requested to make the arrest. Tindal bad a book in his hand wbcb he seemed very desirous of getting rid of at the moment of bis arrest, but the officer was quick enongh to secure the book as well as the man. Upon examination, tbe book was found to contain an envelope inside of which were five postal notes for $4.99 each, signed "J. M. Brad bam;" in a handwriting closely resembling that on the money order mentioned. They are said to be clever forgeries of Brad ham's signature. This not only explained Ti nd al's j desire to get rid of his book, but also what ; became of some of the contents of the j burned postoffice. . After his arrest Tindal wus taken before S. ; A. Norris, U. S. Commissioner, and by him committed to jail. Later Postoffice Inspector i Fred D. Peer, came up and after a prelimi- j nary bearing, Tindal .was committed for | trial at the next term of tbe U. S. Court in Charleston. Since the above was put in type we clip tbe following from the News and Courier of to- j day : There is great commotion in postal circles just now over the forgeries and frauds perpe- ; trated by Henry C Tindal, late postmaster at ! Packsville, S. C., and bis white accomplice. Tbe number of the first money order issued by J. M. Bradham, tbe new postmaster at Packsville, was 101, and the number of the ; first postal note issued by bim was 201. All money orders and postal notes from Packs? ville Dearing lower numbers than these, and I having the name of J. M. Bradham written thereon, are forgeries. Packsville money orders from No. 75 to 100 and postal notes from No. 126 to 200 are missing. The negro is already in jail at Sumter. Jame3 H. Brunson, alias Julius Brunson, is i Tindal's accomplice. He has passed some of the money orders already, and the department therefore thinks be bas ali that are missing. Brunson "ran with" the negro constantly, and it is believed that he, bearing of Tindal's arrest, is doing his best to keep out of the way. A man answering to the description of Brunson tried at Florence to pass order No. 84 from Packsville, payable to John A Barnes, and supposed to have been sent by John R. McCall. This order was for $66.80, and was a palpable forgery. Every effort is being made to apprehend Brunson, and, considering the liberal rewards generally given by the Government in such cases, it is probable that United States Com? missioner S. A. Norris, of Sumter, or In? spector F. D. Peer, in Charleston, will soon have information that he bas been captured. Y. M. G. A. Tbe regular monthly business meeting of the Y. M. C. A., will be held next Thursday evening. Mr. H. F. Wilson will make a fifteen minute talk. The members are ear? nestly requested to be present. The Court of Sessions. Judge W. C. Benet opened Court hereon Monday 'ast. His charge to the Grand Jury was full and exhaustive. The Judge's com? mission was read and ordered spread upon the minutes. Mr. W. J. Rees was made fore? man of th? Grand Jury. The following cases have been disposed of: William Heyward, burglary and larceny; sentence 2 years in the penitentiary. John Covington, burglary and larceny, 1 year in the penitentiary. Bluford Gary, assault and battery of a high arJ aggravated nature, 3 months in the penitentiary. State V3. Charlie W. Anderson, larceny of live stock-Nol pressed State vs Jesse B. Jackson, disposing of property under mortgage-continued. State vs. Coy Smith, burglarly and larcrny -Guilty and sentenced to 2 years in the penitentiary. State vs. Nathan Holman, larceny of live stock-Guilty and sentenced to 2 years io the penitentiary, and a fine of $1 State vs..Taylor Johnson, came charge, and same sentence. State vs. ?inckney Smothers, burglary and larceny, housebreaking and grand larceny. Plea?ed guilty and sentenced to 2 years in the penitentiary. State vs. Henry Truesler, larceny of live stock. Guilty, 3 years aod 6 months in the penitentiary, and $1 fine. State vs. M. D. Wheeler, appeal from Trial Justice. Appeal dismissed and defendant ordered to pay up by to-day. [This was a blind tiger case, as will be remembered by our readers-ED.] True balls were found in the following cases : John Evans, grand larceny. Jobo T. Hurst, assault with intent to kill. James H. Dixon, breach of trust. James Colclough, burglary and larceny. Nelson Black, burglary and larceny. John L?wis, Emma Lewis, Mary Lewis, larceny of live stock. No bill was found against Isaac Mack ar? rested for larceny of live stock. B. G. Pierson, Joseph E. Wilson and E. M. Cooper, were ruled to show cause why their bonds should not be escheated. The case against J. H. Dixon was called this morning, aud is still in progress at the hour of our going to press. Tramps Arrested. Five tramps were arrested on Monday night charged with setiing fire to the wood3 near Skinner's machine shop When brought before the Mayor yesterday morning, one said he wanted ? lawyer and consequently was sent back to jail in default of payment. Later in the day a mao who said he was a foreman of the Santee Lumber Company applied to the Mayor for the release of the men upon condition that he would take them to the railway and pay their way? back to the site of the mill whence they bad come. This the Mayor agreed to do, and the foreman took the men ?iway. These ir.en come op frequently when they are paid off and spend their money on a spree, get stranded, and then develop tramp proclivities. The burnt arm racket is about played* ou?. in these parts, but it will con? tinue to be worked as long as people .'et themselves be gulled by it. Sumter's 'New Opera House. A reportar of The State interviewed Mana? ger Cramer yesterday, after his return from Sumter and judging from his remarks Sumter is to the fore : "Yes, I have just returned from Sumter, where I ta?e been to see the plans of the new opera house, with a view of contracting for the scenery and stage machinery. Sumter has good reason to be proud of her new theatre, which bids fair to be the best in South Caro? lina, bar none. And I was glad to note that in their selection of an architect they have secured the services of one who in every par? ticular understands the theatrical require? ments of the business-in fact the only such architect io the South I have met (except John Devereux, who built tbe Academy of Music in Charleston.) It is often the fate of parties who desire co build opera houses that they foolishly pay out their money to some local architect who knows nothing of the require? ments needed in tbeatre building, but they think poor innocents, because they can build a good church, store or dwelling, they can also build a theatre, and all too late they discover their great mistake. The opera houie in our beautiful city is a good sample of a like misconstruction, and the work of reconstruction, putting it in trim, can only be done with a great deal of labor and ex? pense, and ?-11 because the architect who made the first plans did not understand his business (theatrically.) McEUfatrick of New York City is the best in this line, next comes Mr. Turner and my old friend, John Devereux of Charleston, It is really a pleasure to work after either of these gentlemen's plans, men who know their business so well. "Sumter bas bad good luck in that she lost her old theatre in a moat opportuue time, for the past season bas been the worst since '57; so I now prophecy that next season will be a most excellent one-as good as the past has been bad-and I speak by the card, for I have been in the theatrical business-actor, mana? ger and scenic artist-since '59, so know whereof I speak. Manager Schwerin of Sum? ter will have the best house in South Carolina and a good s?ason to start with."-State, March 2 Weare informed by one of the city alder? men that much of the above {?raise on account of the superiority of the design and interior arrangement of our new opera house is due more to our townsman Mr. J. N. Alphonse than to any one else. It was by his plan and measurements furnished to the City Council, that the architect made the draw? ings and specifications for that part of the building ; and, further, the specifications for the stage and fittings were chauged aud remodelled from the architect's plans under Mr. Alphonse's direction and supervision, by which the cost was very much reduced and the satisfactory results obtained of which Mr. Cramer speaks. - -mmm>- ..<?.
