There is no more promising mission point for the Lutheran Church in Sooth Carolina than Sumter, S. C- It is a growing town of some 5,000 population. A Lutheran congre? gation was organized there four years ago with ti ve members and now there are forty eight.

He laid ont the Darlington boys by the half dozen. A game is expected to be played Friday at 5 o'clock between the local first, and second nine. Tom Walsh is expected to pitch for the second nine. Darlington is thirsting for revenge. She can get it, bot from all the signs it is not pro? bable that it will be the sort she wants, bnt from recent experience it is evident she knows how to accept defeat I A Mistake of a Letter. It was Mr. G. E. and not Mr. T. E. Rich? ardson who killed the 5-foot rattler on Sun? day before last near the Turkey Creek Trestle of the Central R R. Mr. T. E. Richardson says he would no doubt have killed the snake bad he been there, but he was not, and de? clines the title this season. He says that be was not within 40 miles of the place at that hour. A Fine Season. Onr county has lately been generally blessed with good and plentiful raios. We hear of hail in some sections, bnt not enough to have done much damage. The ra i BS and hail have been followed by a return of very cool weather, which bas hurt the yoong okra plants in towo and elsewhere, but we have not seen any one who can testify to having seen frost. The winds following the storm wrong the young crops somewhat, but not to hurt badly. A. C. L. Notes. We have been informed by employees of Contractor Watkins that in a week or ten days the work on tbe bridge and trestle over the Santee River, on the line of the M. & A. road, will be finished. We have not heard whether the work on the other side of the river is completed, but from all accounts trains will soon be running through to Den? mark. This will open up new territory to Sumter which she should proceed to occnpy at once. Capt. J. F. Divine, of Wilmington, W. N. Royal, of Cbarlestoo, E. Bordon, of Wil? mington, G. G. Lynch, Master of Trains, of Florence, and Eogineer of Roadway Pleas ants, of the Coast Lines, passed throngb Sumter yesterday on a special train going to Rimini to look after the bridge now in con? struction over the Santee, and other matters pertaining to the interest of the road. The A. C. L. will make a survey between Ashley Junction and Augusta, and it is highly probable that this important connection will be made in the near future. Charleston should rejoice in it and aid the project to the best of ber ability. Chicken Cholera. A correspondent at Boykio'e asked recently for a cure for chicken cholera. A lady acquaintance of large experience in raising chickens states that she never bas cholera among her fowls ; that she U3es Venetian red, a chemical preparation of iron, in their food, just enough to color it slightly. We suggest to our correspondent to try this, and give his fowls pure and clean water with the addition of a little lime in the water. Not Yet Decided. Discussion has been going on relative to a picnic of the Presbyterian and Baptist Sunday Schools at some time and place in the near future. So far, neither time nor place bas been definitely fixed upon, we are informed; but it is expected that they will be by next week. Eutaw Springs bas been favored by many, and it is likely that place will be selected. mm ? ? i i mm* If you want to win ride a Victor. Our Fire Department. The prompt and efficient work done by our volunteer fire department on several occa? sions lately bas shown that in point of effi? ciency our firemen will compare favorably with the average organized and paid depart? ments of other cities. The card of thanks from Supt. Millard of the C. S. k N. R., in this paper is good testimony in support of this claim. The Sumter Correspondent of the Columbia Journal, io remarking upon the fire yesterday morning at the C. S. k N. Depot pays a merited compliment to the Sumter Fire De? partment, and refers to Ibe past good record of our colored firemen in words of praise justly due; but goes on to condemn the behavior of some of them at tbe fire as disgraceful. lo this connection we have been requested by Chief Bloom to say : ' There was no dis? turbance at the fire among the firemen, and that the confusion at the hydrant referred to by the Sumter Cor. of the Journal, was owing to a misunderstanding on the part of two colored firemen of a rule of the Fire Department pertaining to hydrant connec? tions. Be bas only the highest praise for the department as a whole, both white and col? ored. As usual at fires there were a great many outsiders who, with probably good intentions, attempted to dictate to the mem? bers of the fire department, and there may have been some wrangling on this account. The firemen take orders from no one except those io authority." Bicycle Races. The bicycle races as announced last week came off at the Bicycle Park Monday after? noon, and were witnessed by a large and fashionable assemblage of ladies and gentle? men. The track record was lowered to 37 seconds. The greatest interest was centered in the quarter and half mile races in which S. J. Ryttenberg and E. A. Solomons took part. The races were as follows : Quarter Mile-Class 1 .-E. Alva Solomans, I. fl. Moses, jr., S. J. Battenberg, D. J. Winn, jr., N. Rosendorf. Won by Rytten berg. Time, 37 seconds. Solomons second. Quarter Mile Dash- Class 2.-G. L. Bicker, A. L. Moise, J. J. Watson, I. A. Rytteoberg, E. 0. Ingram. Won by Bicker. Time, 40| seconds. I. A. Ryttenberg second. Quarter Mile-Class 3 - Willie Bultman, F. K. Winn, W.R. Phillips, Arthur Wilder, G. A.Lemmon. Won by Bultman. Time, 43$ seconds. Wilder second. Quarter Mile Handicap for Boys.-A.xmt\ Moses, Warren Aloise, Horace Barby, jr. Won by Amiel Moses. Time, 49 seconds. Half Mile-Class 1.-E A.Solomons, S. J. Ryttenberg, D. J. Winn, jr. Won by Kyttenberg. Time, 1.26. Solomons second? The Association is making arrangements to have tbe first regular bicycle meet in Sumter on June 28, the day after the Colombia meet. Efforts will be made tovbave all the Columbia racers to come to Sumter. There is no doubt but that they will come, and the races on that occasion will be the prettiest ever seen on tb is track. Messrs Ryttenberg and Bicker rode Victors. The Victors won 1st place in every race in wblch they were entered. If you want to win ride a Victor. A new sensation ! What? Why Gardner's famous Soda Water at Kiogman's, next door to the Simond's Bank mm ? i . mn Base Ball. The first game of the season was between Sumter and Darlington, and took place at the Bicycle Park on last Wednesday afternoon. The game was called at 5 o'clock, Mr. Joe Strauss, umpire. The game WAS opened with Darlington at the bat. Darlington failed to score io tbe 1st or 2d inning bat put one man across the plate io the 3d and 2 in the ?Uh. In Sumter's half of the first inBing one score was made. In the second. 3 more were added. This ended Sumter's run-getting and won the game. The game was witnessed by quite a large crowd and was a pretty exhibition of ball playing. The following is the score by innings: Sumter: 13000000 *-4 Darlington :0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0-3 Toe second game between Darlington and Sumter was played Thursday afternoon, and resulted in a victory for Sumter. The fol? lowing is the score by ionings: Sumter: 1 2 0 3 0 0 4 1 *-ll Darlington :0 0000103 0- 4 A splendid diamond has been laid off at the Bicycle Park and all games will be played at that place. Sum ter has a very good team and when ever you go to the Park you may expect our boys to put np a good game. Worse than a Foot Ball Rush 1 What? The rush to Kiogman's next to the Simond's Bank, for those delicious ices sud Soda Water. Capture of Tom Somers Tom Somers who with bis brother Dave and another negro, named Henry Cooper, escaped from jail here about five years ago, and bas been out ever since, was caught in Florence last week, and was brought back to jail on Thursday night. Tom and Dave Somers were under sentence to the Penitentiary for resisting the police and for other outrageous conduct in tbe noted riot of Aug. 7, 1880, when the fire bell was rung and eitizens turned out to aid the police, aad in which a number of others were en? gaged. Henry Cooper was in jail for high? way robbery. None of them have ever been caught until the arrest of Tom as stated. Dave was reported killed sometime after his escape. Tom has made the following statement since his return. He said Dave Somers, Hen? ry Cooper and himself were the three who escaped. That the jailer let Dave and Henry out by tbe fire escape and took him down the stairs, (he being sick with rheumatism at the time) and that there wa3 a carriage in wait? ing at the door which took them to CamdeD. From there they went to Lancaster, Atlanta and Birminghm. There Dave got a job, and he went on to Knoxville and got work. Dave came to visit him there and was killed in a bar room. After that be went to Memphis and finally to Asheville, N. C. While there he learned that he was not wanted very badly in Sumter and so concluded to come nearer home. He was in Sumter at the time Belser was shot about two months ago. He says he thinks Dave planned the escape and that the jailer told bim he bad done aothmg much and to go off and behave him? self. Tom's story about being let out by the jailer, needs substantiation before being be? lieved. Mr. Chas. H. Jones was keeper of the jail at that time, and is now dead. Those who knew him would require more than the simple statement of a negro with the charac- ! ter of Tom Somers to make them believe ! the statement.

Card of Thanks. On behalf of the Receiver of the C. S. & N. R. R., I take this means bf extending our thanks to Mr. H. B Bloom, Chief of the Sumter Fire Department and through him to ?ss't Chief Alphonse and the officers and individual members of the varions Companies, for their prompt response to our alarm of fire this A. M. and the able manner in which they bandied what promised to be a very destructive fire. The fire was confined to the Blacksmith shop, the building in which it caught, and when we consider that it was necessary to stretch upwards of 1500 feet of bose to reach tbe nearest hydrant, the fact that we suffered so slight a loss makes a record, cf which many a larger City and a paid fire department might justly feel proud, espe? cially as the buildings are all contiguous' and constructed of very i inflammable material.

The dwelling of Jake McLeod, at Magnolia, was burned on last Sunday about two o clock, with about half or more of the contents. The fire begun in the back part of the bouse and was not discovered until considerably ad? vanced. He estimates his loss on house and household effects at about $1,000, on which he was insured for $200 on the house, and $150 on furniture. Jake was a policeman, aod afterwards keeper of the jail here several years ago, and his loss will be regretted by tbose who knew bim. I. O. R. M. Excursion. The train carrying this excursion to Charleston, passed Sumter by the C. S. & N. road this morning on rime, taking about 350 people. Tbe belief is that at least a hundred more persons will join the excursion lower down the road, at Summerton, Eutawville and Holly Hill. The train is scheduled to reach Charleston at 10.45 this morning, and to leave there at 9 o'clock this evening. Re? freshments were on board in plenty, and altogether the promise was bright for a pleasant trip and a day of enjoyment in the City by the Sea. i Glenn Springs.
