There bas been a protracted meeting of much interest going on a: the Cotton Factory for several days and is being continued this week. Rev. t. G. Herbert is conducting the services. An admiring coon wanted Mr. Dinkins to clip bis head with that new clipping machine. The barbers would not be in it during the summer if the machine should be put in the field against them.

The Tobacco Warehouse ?3 as certain to [be in readiness for this year's crop as 13 the arrival of the Fourth of July on schedule time.

Mood, who has recently spent two months in New York City, guys of the coming orator: "1 regard Mr. Dixon as one of the most forceful orators in America. No one who hears him will ever regret the cost. Recently, while in New York, I made it a point to be one of his audience every week. No young man in America has a greater ie putation, and in New York he has no equal.,: Don't forget that Winburn's gallery is now over Jones' Racket Store, Main "Street. MARRIED. Mr. C. L. Stubbs and Miss Lillian Hoyt were quietly married this morning at the residei.ee of.Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Stu obs, und left immediately after the ceremonr for Elber? ton, Ga., where they will spend a week There were present at the ceremony only a few friends of the contracting parties and the j immediate family connection-not more than j thirty in ail These assembled in the oarlor j of the handsome residence of the bride's parents shortly before 9 o'clock, and within j a few minutes after lite hour the biidal couple entered the room, while the triad, sweet strains ot Mendelsohn's Wedding March, soft ly played on an organ in the adjoining room, filled the rooms with melody. The bride was attired in a rich and becoming travelling cos? tume of gray, the groom in conventional black Kev. Henry M Moo?"!, the grand father of the bride, performed the ceremony thai made the young people one, binding them by ties that may not be severed by man, for weal or woe. The ceremony was brief, but impres? sive, and the affectionate interest of the venerable minister, who received the marital vows lent additional solemnity to the occa? sion. After the ceremony the guests lingered a short while in the tastefully decorated par? lors extending congratulations to the happy couple, but the time of departure came all too soon and the guests dispersed wishing Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs all the happiness that can fall to the most favor? ed Mortals. A large number ac? companied them to the depot to see them j safely and happily on the bridal tour, which j is but. tbe beginning of life's journey. May it ? be a long aud happy one. Rev J E. Stevenson, of Mayesville, united in" marriage, Sunday afternoon, two young peop'e of this city, and when the announce? ment was made to their friends all were takeo by surprise. The contracting parties were Mr. J. A. Epperson and Miss Leona N. Davis, botb of whom have a large circle of friends, who bave been extending ta*?ir con? gratulations this morning. Mr Epperson and Miss Davis went out driving Sunday afternoon, and proceeded directly to the resi? dence of Rev. J E Stevenson, who perform? ed the ceremony that made them man and wife. .iii ?-?

Mayes, of Mayes? ville, was entered by burglars on Saturday night and goods to the amount of S25 stolen. The borglar attempted to bre*k into the store of Mr. W. R. Mayes, but failed. There was no clue lpfl that could be accepted as point? ing to the identity of the robber, but every effort will be made to hunt him down. Fires. Tbe residence of Mr. E. E. Rembert on the northern suburb of the city caughtafire on the roof near the chimney Friday afternoon. The I alarm was given about 3.45 and the depart? ment turned out promptly io full force. Connection was made with the hydrant near Mr. Roach's residence and the bose from three reels (1800 feet) reached th? fire; but though still barning, the flames had been gotteo sufficiently under control by the use of buckets, not to require the throwing of water by the department. On Saturday morning, at 10:30 o'clock, the house was again discovered to be on fire and although every effort possible was made to extinguish the Sames it was so badly dam? aged that the house was left a total wreck. Tbe fire originated io tbe roof, as it did Friday; and it. is supposed that tbe fire wa3 but a revival of some un eztinguiihed spark that was left lurking in the attic Friday after? noon. The house burned very slowly, and had there been a hydrant near enough to turn two or more good streams on the fire, the house could have been saved without great loss. But as it was necessary to stretch a line of hose a distance of fifteen or eighteen hundred feet, only one stream was available and that not of much force, and the house was destroyed as a result. A greater part of tbe furniture was removed from the house, but in a more or less damag? ed condition from handling. The hoase was insured for ?2,500 with the companies represented by A. White & Son, and the furniture for $700 with The A. C. Phelps Co. The house of William Corbie, colored, wbich was situated on Liberty Street, not far from the Cemetery, caught afire Sunday night about ll o'clock, but was apparently ! extinguished by the application of a few I buckets of water. At an early hour Monday i morning, about 4 o'clock, it caught again i and was burned to the ground. The fire originated in the roof on both oc? casions and is said to have been accidental. The fire was so far distant from the fire limits that no alarm was rang, and few peo? ple knew anything of the occurrence uotil this morning. The barn and stables of Mr. Robert Win? gate, situated in the rear of his residence on Main Street, were nurned Monday night. The origin of the fire is oot known, and opinions are divided between incendiary and accidental. The fire department did fine work on thir. occasion, putting out the fire after the building was wrapped in flames and apparently beyond hope. The building was so badly damaged that it will be almost a total loss, but the remnants show what the Sumter lire department can do in the way of extinguishing a fire. Monaghan Sonad was ngain first at the tire, and it begin-- to look like luck has turned in favor of tins squad. The barn was insured tor $400 with the agency of A. White & Son.

Visitors are always welcomed at Win burn's gallery, over Jones' Racket Store. Easter Services. CHURCH OF THK HOLY COMFORTER. The Church was very beautifully deco? rated, not what might be termed profusely, but artistically and with taste. There" were many calla and Easter lilies around tbealtnr, ?nd the banks of other flowers and vines within the railing and against the walls evi? denced that uiany willing hands bad assisted in beautifying the Church. The services were very impressive and the music unusually sweet and Mppropriate. The Rector Rev. John Kershaw, conducted the services and preached a profound and learned sermon, dealing with the authenticity of the r?surrection. In the afternoon the services were princi? pally devoted io the children of the Sunday School, who made their Easter offerings. METHODIST CHURCH. The feature of the decorations in the Metho? dist Church was a large white cros3 just in rear of the pulpit. This cross was decorated with evergreens and vines. Around the pul? pit and chancel rail were a great roany flow? ers that made the Church very beautiful to behold. The music in ihe morning was prepared especially for 'he occasion, and was rendered with artistic perfection 'that increased that feeling of religious j-?y that makes itself felt in every religious assemblage on Easter day. Rev. J. W. Daniel, the beloved pastor, preached from the suhject previously an? nounced, and made a decided impressions. The evening was given over to the childreu of Sunday School, and the exercises were pronounced the mo-i successful Easter ser? vices yet held. The church was taxed I beyond its seating capicity and many were j unah e to gain admission^. Introductory Address-Master Eddie Lowry. baster Recitation-Miss Octavia Hill.

At High* Mass at 10.15 a. m. at St. Law? rence Roman Catholic Church, Rev. Father A. J MeNeil preached un eloquent and forci? ble sermon, taking for his subject, "The Resurrection." The church was generously and beautifully decorated with natural flowers and ever? greens. The Music and singing were excellent as the list of selections given above shows. At the evening service "Benediction of Blessed Sacrement" at the Chapel of St. Joseph's Convent, tbe Chapel presented a beautiful scene. Inside the sanctuary railing and oa4the main and side altars, being pro? fusely decorated with natural flowers. Numberless candles and taper lights in py? ramidal shape* added to the brilliancy and impressiveness of the scene. The music and singing at this service could not have been better, and combined with the service and decoration were impressive in? deed ; and the devoutness so characteristic of their religion was beautifully exemplified io tbe grand manner in which the Catholics of Sumter, showed their jov on "Resurrection Day." At the Mill Street Mission Church the decorations of flowers and evergreens were beautiful and quite tastily arranged. In rear of the pulpit were the words, "Christ is Risen." in semi-circular form. Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor, preached an excellent 3er mou, appropriate to the occasiou. mm ??-?".-*mnm~ K. of H. Tbe Grand Lodge Knights of Honor of !

Perhaps j the question of greatest interest to the order ?just now is that of the admission of women. : This question is to be decided 1 by the Supreme Lodge of United States which meets in May. The representatives to the Grand Lodge of South Carolina will instruct the delegates to the Supreme Lodge as to its views on this important question. At the meeting of Sumter Lodge two weeks ago a vote was taken favoring the admission of women into the order. It is not known how thc order throughout the State stands on this question. The Charleston Knights are opposed to it. Committed for Murder. Henry Davis, (coi'd) was committed to jail yesterday, ou a warrant from Trial Justice Parrot:, of Bisbopville, on a charge of mur? der. Davis, about three weeks ago assaulted and beat a woman named Fanny Slater on the place of tile ?ate Capt. Geo. McCutcben, .'rom which she died on last Sunday.

Intelligence reached the city last Satuday of an unusual accident to a freight on the Manchester & Augusta railroad. Freight trein number 81. consisting of fifteen cars and one tank car filled with kerosene oil. was burned near Rimini about 10 o'clock this morning. It is said that an axle under the tar.k car broke and a hole was knocked ic the tank. The oil was spilled along the track and became ignited. Almost instantly the entire train was in ablaze, and it was with difficutly that one car next the engine and three on the rear end were saved. Mr. Jas. H- Chandler, who witnessed the burning of the freight train on the M. ? A. road Saturdav, says it was one of the most remarkable sights he ever saw or beard of. The fi?mes from tbe oil rose to a height of fiftyffeet above the train, as the oil flowed down \he ditches on either side of the track. Several of the train hands were seriously burned, and the section master, Mr. McGuin ness, was very seriously -injured. He fell into tbe ditch of blazing oil ard was so fearfully burned that at first it was feared tBat he would die. He received prompt medical attention and will probably recover. There were sixteen cars burned instead of eleven as reported at first. It required six hours of hard work by a large force of bands to repair the track and open it for traffic. . The kitchen burglar was out on bis rounds Thursday night and got in some very success? ful work. He?ntercd the kitchens and pan? tries of Mrs. Snares, Mr. J. F. Laughery, Mr. B. R. Nash and Mr. Holtzhauser and stole as much provisions as he could carry away. He, as usual, ate a9 much, of the cold vituals a3 be could, before leaving toe pantries, and his appetite is still undiminished for he played havoc with the larders. The ben house wa?, visited at Mr. Nash's and several chickens were taken. A little chap who was rescued from the gutter by Chief Bradford when bis tricycle turned orer with him last Thursday became very belligerent when restored to the side? walk and wanted to hold the police repre? sented by ;be Chief, personally responsible for his mishap. He informed the chief that he had a "sure enough knife-a gr at big one-at home" and he would go and retch it to kill tbe police for throwing him into the gutter. He was the maddest kid in town and totally without fear or respect for the police force. The Board of County Commiss3ioners held a special meetiag Saturday for tbe pur? pose of examining the bond of Mr. Sheppard Nash as Clerk of Court. The bond was examined and approved by the board ; and as soon as Nr. Nash receives his commission the office will be turned over to him by the acting Clerk, Probate Judge Walsh. The sureties on the bond are : R. C. McCutchen Jno. C. Shaw, Henry Woodward, J. F. Woodward, D. A. Stuckey, W. K.Crosswell, F. J. Reames, R. V. McLeod, B. J. Barnett. No small objection which young folks had to the old-time spring-medicices was their nauseousness. In our day, this objection is removed and Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the most powerful and popular of blood-purifiers, is as pleasant to tb:- palate as a cordial. The coming of Rev. Thomas Dixon to Sumter wMl doubtless create a sensation. He is surely "he prodigy of these latter days, and no man of his age has such a reputation as a platform speaker. Some time ago. Sam Jones introduced him to a gathering of five thousand people as *'a live electric wire." Dr. Kerfoot said of him to a Louisville, Ky., audience: "Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun: but Solomon had never teen Tom Dixon. " The base ball fever is confined to thc small bo\s.

The Ice Factory Puts In Machinery ro Make Fifteen Tons Mere Iee Per Day. The Sumter Ice Manufacturing Company | has just closed a contract fur new machinery that will enable them to increase the duly output of ?ce io thf extent of fifteen ?ons. The capacity of 'he factory is now twelve ' rons of ice uer day, and when the new ma- j coiner} is put in the output will he twenty- ; seven tons of as pure ice a? can he made i every iw?-n?y-four hours. This is proof th/xt ! the enterprise has paid and that there is ; money in ?he business. It is gratifying to I chronicle the growth and prosperity of a local j enterprise, and especially so, when it is an enterprise of whose success thete was con? siderable doubt when it was first proposed. The ci pita} stock of the company has been increased and several new stockholders admitted to the company, all of whom are citizens of this city. There is yet $1.000 of the new stock imtaken and which can be obtained by anyone who desires to put money into a successful local enterprise. If the stock is not taken by some party or par? ties not now members of the company within a short lime, it will be taken by the new and original members of the company. The er.largement of the capacity of the factory was made necessary by thc-growing trade of the factory in the towns and cities in the Pee D*e section nf tbe State, which could not be supplied with the present output. At first the location of a branch factory at Flor? ence was contemplated, but investigation demorisirated that it was impossible to obtain a suppl} ?>f water in that place that would be as weil adapted to the manufacture of ice as that obtained here, therefore that plan was abandoned, and the factory here was enlarged by the addition of new machinery. The quality of the Summer ice is known and appreciated ai! ever Central South Carolina, and wherever it has been introduced the de? mand for it has steadily increased. This repu talion is well merited, tor no purer ice is to be found anywhere. Only-the purest water, obtained from deep driven wells, is used, and this is d ?stilled and condensed before being converted into ice. Therefore it is the safest and nest ice for family use. As soon as the new machinery is put in place the company will be in a position to ship ire in car load lots m the shortest notice, nod such shipments will hereafter be a feature of the business of the first importance Thirty glasses soda water at A.
