DeLorme, J D. Wilder, j. J. Bossard Killed on the Railroad. His relatives io this county received a tele? gram about the middle of last week that Mr Samuel Bradley, a deaf mote and printer, was killed at Burliugton, Iowa, by being ac? cidentally run over by a traio. He was at the time on bis way to bis brother, Rev. Robt. Bradley, Jr., who lives at West Liber? ty, Iowa. The deceased was a eon of Rev. Robert Bradley, of Kershaw, and a nephew of the late Col. Jno. S. Bradley, of Bishcpville. Dropped Dead. Ned Thomas, a well known colored man of Bisbopville, dropped dead last Sunday while dressing for church. He was about 50 or 60 yeats old, and was well thought cf by the people of Bisbopville. Burned to Death. Coroner Moses held an icqcest Friday night at Tindals upon the body of Carolice Hamp? ton, an old ccictel woman, about 70 years old, who was burned to death yesterday morning The facts obtained at tbe inquest were that she lived by herself io preference to staying with ber relations. She had been sick for ssveral days, and ber granddaughter looked after ber, going to the boase occasionally. She carried breakfast to tbe old woman in the morning and left her before the fire in ber boase On going beck about ll o'clock tbe old woman was found dead and ber clotbiog burned ofi her body. It was supposed that a coal popped out from the fire, or she dropped fire from her pipe on her bed. The verdict of the ir quest was that she came to her death by being burnt while lying before the fire, and that DO one was responsi? ble for ber death. How she wa3 burned to death and the bouse not set on fire, was a little singular. Added to the horror of the occurrence, dogs bH? gotten to the body and toro and devour? ed a part of it before the inquest was oeld. Wm. Orr, Newark, 0., says, "We never feel safe without One Minute Cough Cure in the house. It saved my little boy'sltfe wheo be bad the pneumonia. We thick it is tbe best medicine made." It cures coughs and all lung diseases. Plessant to take, harmless and gives immediate results. J S. Hugbson &Co. The City Council that will go out of offce ic April will leave a number of valuable per? manent improvements as monuments to the progressive spirit of the administratioa. When the present council went into office a floating deot of aoout ?4,000 W88 assumed aod co top of this came the smallpox epi? demic that co3t the city nearly ?3,000 Defore the disease was suppressed. The council will go out of office leaving a debt of about $7,COO. OD the credit side of this council's account must be placed the macadam road? way on Main Street, tbe rerra cotta drainage pipes put down on Mill and Republican Streets, aod Barby AveDue, and in the canal extending from Church to Main Streets ; the two new bouses for the fire department, be? sides various other improvements cf a per? manent character, but of less importance than those enumerated. Rev. W. E. Sitzer, W. Cat?n, N. V , writes, "I had dyspepsia over twenty years, and tried doctors aod medicines without bec eat. ? was persuaded to use Kodol Dys? pepsia Cure and it helped me from the start. I believe it to be a panacea for all fctms of indigestion." It digests what you eat. J. S. Hu^hson & Co. MAYOR'S COURT. Dick Fraser and William Chatman were before the Mayor ?as? Saturday charged with Sabling. The evidence was somewhat con? flicting as to the party most to bl?me, but that there bad been a fight wes '-lear The Mayor required a fine of S3 from each of the defendants. Merriam Graham, Sue Grahatr, his wife, and Louie Carson were arrested by the police for disturbing the peace and fighting on Republican Stnet Sunday night. Tbe row was brought about tty Carson's attentions to Mrs. Graham, which aroused her husband's jealous suspicions. Carson's face was artistically done up in court plaster when arraigned oefore the may? or Monda; morning A fine of $3 each or six days was imposed on Sue Graham and Carson, while Merriam Graham got $1 or two davs. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our desr ones suffer whi;e awaiting the arrival of the doctor.

The Committee on Public Works was au? thorized to buy a mule, which is needed for the dump "wagons.

It provides that no engine or car will be permitted to stop on a street crossing for more than five minutes at a time nor at more frequent interval? than five min? utes between such stops. Oo motion of Mr. Boyle it was resolved that railroads should erect aDd maintain crossiog gates to be low? ered at the approach of trains. There were no other matters of public in* ! tereit. Mrs. Calvin Zimmerman, Milesburg. Pa , says: "As a speedy cure 'or coughs, colds, croup and sore throat One Minu-e Cough Cure is unequaled. It is pleasant for chil? dren to take. I heartily recommend it to mothers." It is the only harmless remedy that produces immediate results. It cures bronchitis, pneumonia, grippe nnd throat and lung diseases It will prevent consump? tion.

New Gfficers Elected and Installed. The Sumter Licht Iofantry met last Thurs riay nicht and completed the election of c ffi oers. (Jwinc to tcp elect co of Capt. Lee as M?jor cf ib? Second I>-it*:?iion, Second ke^i rcf-nt, and the removal of Lieutenants Miller and r?urge?3 from Sumter, ir. w-?s nrce?-ary to eipctf-n entirely new ge' of officers H. Frank \Vi'?oo was eiecf-d captain; F. C. FishDurce, first Heute RD:. ?nd T. S. Do?r, second lieutenant. Tbe < fficers elected were present and were instated nt orce. Capt Wilson in assuming command of ibe com? pany thanked the mer hers of ibe company for the honor conferred arid assured them that, although he nad been out of the militia tor many years he bad never ceased to take a deep interest in military affairs, aod now that he was once again in ac'ive service he would spare no effort to keep the company up to its high standard. Capt. Wilson was for many years an active and faithful member of the old Sumter Light Injaotry and rose from the ranks to be its commanding officer. During bis captaincy the o?d con?p8ny was as prosperous and effi? cient and well drilled as it ever w?a, acd wben be resigned tbe company was at its best, lt was on account of his fine record in the old company that Capt. Wilson was called to the captaincy of the compaoy and the choice is generally regarded as a wise one. Lieutenants Fisbburne and Doar are well drilled men and have a thorough knowledge of military affairs. Lieat Fisbourne is a graduate of the Citadel, and Lieut Doar of Porter's Academy The company has become firmly establish? ed and the newly elected officers will carry on the good work of their predecessors. There is every re ison to believe that Sumter will in the future, as in the past, have one of the crack military companies of the ?State, and the people of the city should lose no opportunity to assist the officers and mem? bers in miintaining tbe company. ?MI i i mmu Prophet Green Vindicated. Referring to tbe publication in last week's issue, as to the arrest of Prophet Green, a colored man of Au?U3'a, Ga., oa the charge of writing an obscene letter to a party in Fiorence, he was in the city Safurday, having been released and the warrant dismissed after an investigation Green called at the effice white in town and requested the statement made that he was born and raised in tbe Boy km neighborhood, be tweeo Sumter and Camden, and is known to all the people there. He refers to Mr. B. H. Boykio as to his character. He has always been trusted with money and business, and has always conducted himself in a way to retain confidence and respect. As to the charge for which be was arrested, he does not i no w the parties at all, and on tbe investigation, the busband of tbe woman disclaimed having acquaintance with Greeo. The letter was decided to have been a forgery of Green's name, and in a different hand? writing. Car load of Horses and Buggies jost re? ceived at W. M. Graham's stable. March 7.
