Mr. John McQueen, whose death oc?
curred in Columbia on Sunday was a
native of Sumter and spent the greater
part of his life here. He was the young,
est son of the late Rev. Donald Mc
Quee:i, D. D., for forty years pastor of
the Presbyterian church. He had many
friends here who knew him well in boy
hood, youth and young manhood and
his death wiil sadden many who knew
and liked him.
The body of the late John McQueen
was brought from Columbia yesterday
morning and taken directly from the
depot to the cemetery upon trie ar?
rival of the 8:20 train. The remains
were accompanied by Mrs. McQueen,
Rev. Mr. Trnesdale, pastor of the
Green Street Methodist church of Co?
lumbia and six of Mr. McQueen's fel?
low employes of the Columbia street
railway, the latter acting as pall-bear?
ers. The services at the grave were at?
tended by quite a number of Mr. Mc?
Queen's old friends in this city, which
were conducted by Rev. James Mc?
Dowell.
Columbia State, March 13.
John C. McQueen, the motorman J
vhoso extreme illness was noted in The
State a few days ago, died at his home
on G:-een street yesterday morning at
8 o'clock. His remains will be taken to
Sumter Tuesday morning for inter?
ment. He is survived by his widow and
by an infant 7 months old. Mrs. Mc?
Queen was formerly Miss Lyles and
had been married to Mr. McQuecr. but
little over two years. The deceased was
in his 49th year.
Mr. McQueen has been a resident of
Columbia for a number of years. He
is a native of Sumter and a member of
the Presbyterian church. In 1895 he
was employed as a driver on one of the
horse cars in Columbia and when the
electric cars were introduced he was
given a position as motorman. He
had worked faithfully and without
complaint in the many vicissitudes of
the company until last November
when he was laid off by the dread
disease which caused his death, cancer
of tba throat.
In all these months of suffering, he
has been remembered by his fellow
employes, and from their own wages
they have set apart each work some?
thing for the suffering motorman. This
fact was published in The State a few
days ago, and when Mr. McQueen's
many friends in the city learned that
contributions would be acceptable they
left donations at the transfer station
in amount sufficient to keep him in
nourishment and enough was left to
pay r.he expenses of the funeral. His
sufferings were of a kind beyond en?
durance and for days it has been im?
possible to get him to swallow nourish?
ment enough to keep up his strength.
McQueen was one of the most care?
ful men who ever managed a trolley
car. Twice he acted with such pres?
ence of mind that he saved the lives
of persons who but for his prompt?
ness would have been killed. One of
these occasions was several years ago.
A young man was thrown from his
horse within a few feet of the car and
directly across the track. The motor?
man, a stalwart man, stopped the car
almost within its own length by ap?
plying the hand brake.
Mr, McQueen was a powerful swim?
mer and one one occasion won a wager
by swimming the entire length of the
canal up stream from Gervais street
to the locks, a distance of two miles.

H. D. Moise, Esq., appeared before

case of the State vs D. G. Zeigler. A.
A. Manning, Esq., was present and
represented the interest of the defend?
ant. After hearing the arguments
Judge Klugh issued the following self-'
explanatory order:

ternative writ of mandamus herein
and the return of the respondent and
the traverse of said return by the pe?
titioner.

MAGISTRATE'S COURT.
The civil action against the A. C.
L. Railroad for damages causee by
the running over and killing of a
mule, the property of Henry Pres?
cott, was concluded last night.
The jury were out for more than one
hour, and as tbere was no possibility
of their agreeing upon a verdict,
Magistrate Barby ordered a mistrial.
It was afterwards learned that tbe
jary stood 5 to 1, for the defendant
Major Singleton (colored) was ar?
rested Saturday and tried by Magis?
trate Harby for cruelly assaulting and
beating a colored boy, Samuel Titus,
for some very trivial offence. Single?
ton is a burly negro of almost 45 years
of age while the boy is a small fellow
not more than 7 or 8 years old.
The boy had some very ugly scars
about his head and was suffering
from numerous blows on the body,
which were inflicted by the infuriat?
ed negro. A strange incident of the
trial was the refusal of the defendant
to go on the stand, and testify in his
own behalf.
The verdict was necessarily
"guilty" and a sentence of ?50 or
thirty,days was imposed. Re took
the days.
Hie Recorder's Court.
g There were three mourners on the
benchin RecorderHurst's officeMonday
at noon. The first was John McQuil
1er, who was charged with drunken?
ness and cursing on Hampton avenue.
John was very penitent and plead
guilty. He was fined in the sum of ?5.
Henry Brown and Alex Towell
both plead "not guilty" to the charge
of cursing, disorderly conduct and
fighting. After hearing the testimony
of a ' number of witnesses, Recorder
Hurst was convinced that both had
violated the city ordinance and find
them $3 and $10 respectively.
Fire in the Office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
About 6.45 Sunday afternoon a
passer-by noticed a dense volume cf
smoke in the office occupied by the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
and immediately gave the alarm of i
fire. Manager Bradley happened to ?
be in China's Drug Store, as he had j
closed the office just about 30 minutes i
before ; be rushed into the bulding,
and discovered that an enormous ac?
cumulation of old telegrams, which
had been on fiie in the office for a
number of years, was buming furious?
ly. It was not found necessary to ?
take the hose from the wagons, as a
few buckets of water were sufficient
to extinguish tho. flames.
It is supposed that one of the mes?
senger boys carelessly dropped a ciga?
rette among the telegrams, and caused
the fire.
The fire department was called out
Saturday morning to extinguish a fire
atNo. C Hauser street and by a prompt
response to the alarm and good work
tho house was saved before more
than a few dollars damage was done.
The fire was between the ceiling
and roof of the kitchen and a hole
had to be cut in the roof to reach the
fire.
The fire was caused by a defective
fine. The house is the property of
Mr. E. W. Hurst and is occupied by
Mr. G. H. Tisdale

ished when proof of their guilt is

his advertisement you will under?
stand why he is kept so busy.

know it intuitively you would be con?
vinced by reading the new advertise?
ment of the D. J. Chandler Clothing

lightly, or serionsly, turns to

vilie was seriously injured Saturday
afternoon while attempting to board
the local freight coming from that
place to this city. One foot was bad?
ly mashed, but the injury was not so

er's Infirmary. He is doing as well as
could be expected and in time will

Supervisor Seale bad a warrant is?
sued Saturday for Willis Mose?, charg?
ing him with cruelty to animals. The
facts are that Moses rode a horse into
a marsh near the end of Graham's
Boulevard about a week ago. The
horse bogged and fell, breaking one
leg. Moses left the horse where it
fell and it remained there without
food or water for several days. The
children of Mr. J?bn Hurst found
the horse and carried it food and
water several times, but so far as is
known Willis Moses never went near
the suffering beast.

place his order for his stock at once
and he expects to be ready for busi?
ness. April ist. The business will be
conducted under the firm name of the
Bewley Hardware Co. Mr. Bewley
was brought to Sumter through the
efforts of Secretary Reardon of the
Chamber of Commerce, and a few days

Sumter offered greater inducements
than any other place he knew of.

lot with Sumter, believing that the
town has a great future ahead of it. i
