County Treasurer Scarborough was kept busy Monday writing tax receipts. He wrote more than three hundred receipts and received a great many tax lists accompanied by checks for which he has since written receipts. The total amount taken in Monday exceeded 85,000. There are a great many delinquents, the amount of un? paid taxes being greater than last year. -o- m?- wini - Street Commissioner White has made rapid progress with the work on the clay-sand roadway on Broad street (formerly Blanding) during the week, "but the heavy rainfall Friday night left the ground too wet for satisfactory work tobe dom* next day. To prevent injury to the unfinished road by pass? ing vehicles during its present water soaked condition, barriers were placed across the street at the corner of Church street, and no travel was permitted on that section o? the road until Monday. The County Board of Commissioners will be asked at the next meeting to appropriate sufficient money to replace the unsightly wooden railing around the Court House square with a 'neat and substantial iron fence. Everybody favors the improvement, and if the Board shall decide to erect the fence, an effort will be made to have the square beautified by planting grass, flowers and ornamental plants. If this is done the square will be con? verted into a thing of beauty and it will no longer be an eye-sore in the center of the city. Winn-Law Nuptials are Celebrated. i From The Merced (Cal.) Evening Sun, March 20. i The marriage of Mr. David James I Winn, Jr., of Sumter, S. C., and Miss Mary Elma Law of this city, was celebrated last evening in the First j Presbyterian Church. The church was i artistically decorated in pink and j green, the ceremony being performed under a canopy of ivy. Mr. and Mrs. Paterson of Stockton, with violin and organ, played Lohen? grin's wedding march as the wedding party proceeded up the aisle. The ring ceremony, short but impressive, was performed by Kev. G. W. Lyons, of Haywards, assisted by Rev. O. S. Barnum, of Merced. Then the party proceeded out of the church to the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride was attired in white silk grenadine over taffeta. She carried a boquet of white carnations and maiden hair ferns, while a beautiufl white wedding veil hung to the bottom of her gown. "A prettier bride has never been seen in Merced, " was the com? ment of all who saw her. Miss Lida Law, the maid of honor, wore white organdie over taffeta, and carried a boquet of pink carnations. The Misses Belle Rosenthal, of Merced, and Mame Kelley, of Stockton, were the bride's maids. The former wore pink point de sprit over pink taffeta, and the latter pink mousseline de soi over pink taffeta, and each car? ried a boquet of pink carnations. The flower bearer, little Naomi Har? ris, wore white and carried a basket of flower petals. Harry B. Ward of this city acted as best man, and Messrs. Will Washing? ton and Ed Carey, of Stockton, took ' the part of the ushers. 'The ceremony was performed at 7 o'clock and shortly thereafter the many friends of the bride and groom repaired to the residence of the bride's father, Mr. T. C. Law, where a recep? tion was held and where the happy couple, standing under a canopy of fruit blossoms and smilax, received the congratulations of their friends. The wedding presents were numerous and beautiful. Mrs. Winn has spent most of her life m Merced and enjoys the friend? ship and admiration of a wide circle of acquaintances. Her many admirable qualities of heart and mind, coupled with a charming personality, have made her a social favorite in this city, and all agree that Mr . Winn has been exceptionally fortunate in having won such a prize. Mr. Winn is a substantial young business man of Sumter, S. C., where he holds a position in the leading bank. He is also a musician of much more than ordinary ability, being director of the Sumter band, one of the best in that State. Mr. and Mrs. Winn left on the Santa Fe limited last night for South Carolina, their future home, taking with them the hearty congratulations and best wishes of their hosts of friends. DEATHS. Mr. Leslie Hodge, formerly of this county, died in Columbia on Tuesday, aged 22 years. His remains were taken to his old home in Privateer for interment on Wednesday. He was a son of Mr. T. R. Hodge, of Privateer. Mr. Joseph E. Barnett, of Mayes? ville, died Monday at his home at that place. He had been in failing heath for more than a year, but the end came today unexpectedy and almost with? out warning. He was the eldest son of the late B. J. Barnett, of this city, and was about 47 years old. He was one of the best known aud most successful business men of this county, and had amassed a large fortune from his extensive mercantile and farming interests. He married Miss Minnie* Loryea, of Manning, who survives him, but leaves no children. Funeral of Mr. J. E. Barnett. Tho funeral of the late Joseph E. Barnett, of Mayesville, was held yes? terday afternoon in the Jewish Lecture Hall, this city, Mr. M. G. Ryttenberg reading the prayers. The interment was made in the Jewish Cemetery. The funeral was largely attended, there being quite a number from Mayesville and other parts of the county present to pay their last mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. The Fireman's Tournament. It is now almost a certainty that the Fireman's Tournament will be held ia this city. The finance commit? tee has been at work and the result that has been achieved has surprised those who asserted so positively that j the large sum needed could not be j raised'. The committee set out to raise $300 and last night the subscrip? tion list showed a total of $708.00 pledged. The small amount required to complete the required fund will be raised, for the committee will not aban? don the canvass until all the money is in sight. Those who have not "yet given anything should open their hearts imo purses, for the good of the community and the encouragement of the firemen. The rumor that the local firemen would not enter the contest for the prizes to be offered which has j leen generally accepted as a fact, is, the writer has been assured, entirely unfounded. Our firemen will enter thc contest and will make every legi j timare and honorable effort to win the j prizes. The contest is certain to be one of the most exciting ever held in the State, for the Columbia firemen who have been successful in winning prizes in Charlotte, Augusta and other places are already planning to come. Camden, Newberry, Florence ?'ind other places will be represented and there is a probability that North Caro? lina will have several teams on hand.'"'! A great many people have said that they do not care anything about a tournament and prefer giving directly to the reel squads, but there seems to be a strong sentiment in favor of having the tournament and as the money for the purses is in sight there is no reason now to suppose that the tournament will fall through. PROCEEDINGS QF COURT. I The Docket Being Cleared of Minor Cases. Homicide Cases Set For Thursday. Court convened Monday morning at ll o'clock with Judge C. G. Dantzler presiding. Solicitor John S. "Wilson being absent in attendance upon the special term of court in Florence, Marion Moise, Esq., iDy appointment acted as Solicitor and discharged the duties of the position ina most accept? able manner. Stenographer Geo. D. Tillman was also in Florence, and hie duties were discharged by Mr. Robert Latham who was appointed court stenographer protem. The grand jury was organized, and Mr. William J. Durant was made foreman. Judge Dantzler in his charge to the grand jury outlined the duties and powers of that body in a clear and forcible manner. He referred to the condition of the public roads, laying particular stress upon the need of im? provement and the prevention of en? croachments upon the right of way by land owners who plow into the roadway which are in many instances reduced in width to ten feet, whereas they should all be at least 20 feet. The following bills have been acted upon by the grand jury : The State vs. Oney Porter and Joseph Brooks: Burglary and larceny. True bill. On trial. The State vs. Rachel James, house breaking and larcenv of a hog. True bilL The State vs. Moses Farmer, mur? der. True bill. The State vs. Albertus Elliott, murder. True bill. The State vs. Willie Martin and Charlie Vaughan, conspiracy and for an assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. True bill. The State vs. Arthur Mack, forgery. True bill. The State vs. Thomas Mc? callum and Nathan Coldcheese, .breaking and entering a raiload car with intent to steal and grand larceny. True bill. The docket is unusually heavy, there being quite a number of cases of homicide to be tried and a larger num? ber than usual of cases of a serious nature. During the afternoon session of court Monday the trial of Oney Por? ter and Joseph Brooks was concluded and the jury retired. The trial of Arthur Mack for forgery was then taken up and concluded within a short time, a verdict of guilty being returned. Mack is a hoy of sixteen or seventeen years, but never? theless a hardened criminal. He had no lawyer, but examined the witnesses himself and addressed the jury in his own behalf. The evidence was con? clusive of his guilt and his speech did not convince the jury that he should go free. When court convened yesterday morn? ing Solicitor Wilson was present and relieved Marion Moise, Esq., who act? ed for him Monday. Stenographer Tillman was absent, and, as he had made no arrangements for a substi? tute, Mr. Lathan who served as stenographer Monday having return? ed to Columbia that night, it became necessary to secure a stenographer before the trial of any cases could be proceeded with. Mr. Robert Shelor consented to act and was appointed Court Stenographer pro tem. He will serve throughout the term, as Mr. Tillman is reported to be sick and unable to discbarge his duties. The following transcript of the docket shows what has been done since the recess Monday : The State vs. Andrew Kelly alias Andrew Jackson, larceny, to wit a horse. Verdict not guilty. The State vs. Oney Porter and Joseph Brooks, burglary and larceny. Guilty with recommendation to mercy of the court. Sentence 5 years each on the chain gang. The State vs. Arthur Mack, forgery. Guilty : sentence 4 years on the chain gang. The State vs. Sarah Jackson privily stealing from the person. Nol Pros. The State vs. Israel Willeford and Philip Porter, burglary and larceny. Nol pros. The State vs. Charlie Ellerbe, as? sault with intent to kill. Xol pros. The State vs. Clifton Wilson, grand larceny. Trae bill. . The State vs. Joseph Anderson, burglary and larceny. No bill. The State vs. James Brown, burglary and larceny. No bill. The trial of Clifton Wilson for grand larceny was next begun. Wilson is only fourteen years old but, this is not his first appearance at the bar of jus? tice, having been tried and convicted in the magistrate's court a few months ago of stealing. The charge against him is that he stole a diamond ring valued at 8200. He plead guilty and was sentenced to six months imprison? ment. Albertus Elliott, charged with mur? der, was arraigned and the case set for trial on Wednesday. Moses Farmer, charged with murder, was arraigned and the case set for trial on Thursday. caster Elections.

City Council met in regular session "Wednesday with Mayor Stuckey and Aldermen, Chandler, Finn, Boyle, Hurst, G. F. Epperson and C. G. Rowland present. The minutes of March 12th were read and approved. Mr. Finn for the committee on street names and house numbers reported* that they had received two bids for the work-one from Mr. J. A. Schwerin for 8337 and one from Mr. H. W. Hood for S219.50- and that Mr. Hood's bid had been accepted. The action of the committee was ap? proved. A petition from residents of Bland ing Street was presented asking coun? cil to change the name of the street to Broad Street. The request was granted and the name of the street ordered changed. A petition from residents of Factory village and vicinity was presented asking for the appointment of a spe? cial policeman for that section, or in case this cannot be done one of the regular policemen he required to visit the locality at least once every night. The petition was referred to the police committee with request to take action. Mr. Finn called attention to the annoyance of travelers by hackmen and hotel porters at the depot and sug? gested regulations for abating the nuisance. The matter was referred to Messrs. Chandler, Finn and Rowland to consider the suggestions and report to council. The clerk stated that he had rented the vacant office in the City Hall building, second floor, to Mr. D. G. Zeigler. His action was approved and he was directed to prepare a contract for Mr. Zeigler's signature. Mr. Boyle reported that he had writ? ten the A. C. Line authorities asking for a donation of clay and gravel for a sidewalk on Harvin Street opposite their property, but had as yet receiv? ed no reply. The Mayor and Clerk were requested to appoint managers and publish notice of election for Mayor and Alder? men on April 8th. FIRES. An out house on the premises of W. J. Andrews, who lives on Main street nearjthe Curtis House, was burn? ed at an early hour Monday morning. When the alarm was sent in the roof of the bouse^was burning briskly and by the time the hose wagons arrived the upper part of the house was I all ablaze. As soon as the water was turned on the fire was gotten under control. The loss was not serious, but owing tc the ^proximity of other build? ings it was a dangerous fire and the promptness of the firemen in answer? ing the alarm and there ^ quick work prevented a destructive fire. The fire department was called out about 1 o'clock Monday to extinguish a negro tenant house on Haynsworth street. Little damage was done by the fire, it having gained little headway before it was discovered. A bouse on Savage Street, beyond the railroad, owned by the Monaghan estate and occupied by a Oly Reynolds, a white woman, was burned Friday night at 10.30 o'cock. The house was a total loss, but the occupants saved a portion of their furniture and cloth? ing. The house was insured for $800 and the contents for $300. The origin of the fire is not known positively, but is said to have resulted from the ex? plosion of a lamp. The fire department responded im? mediately after the alarm was sent in, but owing to the distance the wagons had to go and the remoteness of the house from the hydrants the fight to save the house was made under adverse conditions. The total loss is estimated to have been $1,500-$1,100 on the building and $400 on the contents. Meeting of Dick Anderson Camp. "Headquarters, Dick Anderson Camp, No. 334, U. C. V. Sumter. S.
