rooms in both the High and the
Grammar schools were attractively
-decorated with holly and other ever?
greens. The closing exercises partook
of a holiday character and every ef?
fort was made to usher in the Christ
jnas-tide with pleasant anticipations.
For the lower grades there was a
large and beautifully decorated
Christmas tree, upon -which the chil?
dren were permitted to place gifts
for each other, besides which there
were provided a gifjt for each of che
-children. The decorations in all of
the rooms were attractive, but in the
room ot* Miss McLean, the principal
of the primary department, the black
?x>ards were works of art. Miss Mc?
Lean, who is an artist of talent, had
-covered the blackboards with free
hand colored crayon drawings typical
of the season. One picture, depicting
the Nativity and the Wise Men was
especially beautiful and it is to be
.regretted that it is not of a penna-;
nest nature.

Death of Col. Walsh.
Tuesday afternoon at 6.20 o'clock
Col. Thomas V. Walsh, one of Sum?
ter's oldest and most respected citi?
zens, died at his home on Kendrick
street, after an illness of several
weeks.
Col. Walsh's death was hy no
means unexpected as he had been in
failing health for some time past.
Thomas Var dell Walsh was born
April 12, 1833, at Charleston, being
of Scotch-Irish and French descent.
He attended Mount Zion school at
Winnsboro and the High School of
Charleston. On June 24, IS52, he
married Miss Ellen Jane David. In
early life Col. Walsh kept books and
was engaged in the railroad business.
He entered the Confederate army
in ISSI, Captain of Company A, Cav?
alry, Holcombe Legion. He was
promoted to lieutenant colonel of the
above* regiment. On account of ill
health he was assigned to conscript
service, in which he was actively en?
gaged until the war closed. After the
close of the war, Col. Walsh was en?
gaged in the mercantile business in
Sumter, which he continued until
1876, when he was appointed trial
justice. Col. Walsh was judge of
probate for the county for 27 years,
having held this office at the time bf
his death. This fact alone shows hov/*
highly Col. Walsh was regarded by
his fellow citizens.
He was a tried citizen and public
servant, and his death is a- severe
blow to the community.
He is survived by his wife and nine
sons and daughters as follows:
Messrs. Bartow and T. V. Walsh, Jr.,
of this city;. C. T. Walsh, of Texas,
Mrs. B. P. Cuttino, Mrs. C. H. Single?
ton, Mrs. Harry Hoyt, Mrs. B. M.
Lebby and Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, all of
this city.
The funeral will be held at the
cemetery at 4 o'clock this afternoon,
Rev. C. C. Brown conducting the ser?
vices. The carriages will leave CoL
Walsh's late residence at 3.30 o'clock.
The funeral services will be held
under the Masonic rites, Col. Walsh
h ving been a prominent member of
this order. At one time he was wor?
shipful master of Claremont Lodge,.
Xo. 64 A. F. M.
Christinas Quiet Here.
Christmas was observed more quiet?
ly here Tuesday than in previous
years. Save for a few affairs of a
private nature there were scarcely
any observance;? to speak of. In the
churches special services were held and
these were attended by the faithful.
Xeariy all of the stores were closed
for the day together with the banks
and public offices. The day came as
a relief to the business men after the
hard work of Christmas eve. The
small boys were out with firecrackers
and other fireworks, b*it not to the
usual extent.
Altogether, the day was one of the
quietest of a like nature within the
memory of Sumter citize? s.
A Small Fire.
Tuesday about midday a few bales
of cotton stored on the Atlantic Coast
Line platform were observed to be on
fire. An alarm vas sent in and the
blaze was quickly extinguished after
the arrival of the hose wagons.
A young man of this city yesterday
playfully aimed a pistol at a negro
porter and finally decided to fire it.
The pistol was loaded with a blank
cartridge, the wad of which, together
with the powder, made a painful
though not serious, wound in the ne?
gro's leg.
It goes to the root of disease, in?
vigorates, strengthens, exhilerates. Its
life-producing properties are not con?
tained in any other known' remedy.

Five hundred thousand a

Square Garden roof will 1 e
Thaw family after White's slayer will
have been tried by a jury of his peers.
Of this amount fully $200,000 has
already been expended in the vast
preliminary preparation for the fight
to be made to save Thaw from the
electric chair and the madhouse.
A world-wide search has been con?
ducted for every scrap of corrobora?
tive evidence that will tend to show
justification for Thaw's deed. Besides
evidence of the sort that may acquit
the young Pittsburg millionaire on
the ground of justifiable homicide
through the "unwritten law," hun?
dreds of affidavits has been secured
from persons on both sides of the
ocean to support a plea of insanity.
Detective bureaus in Europe and
throughout the United States are at
work in an exhaustive search for evi?
dence.
Great law firms are receiving large
fees for private Investigation and ad?
vice. Special agents have been sent
by Clifford W. Hartridge, the chief
counsel for Thaw, to every quarter of
the gk be. The cable has been -used
with a prodigal disregard of expense,
and the preparation for the murder
trial is being manipulated like some
great business concern.
The centre of .all this activity is, of
course, the offices of Hartridge &
Peabody, the two youthful friends of
Thaw, who are acting as his chief le?
gal advisers. Mail pours in daily
from every part of the world.
There Delphin Michael Delmas, the
Napoleon of the Californa bar, who is
said to have received a $100,000 fee
to devote his great abilities to the
Thaw case, is in daily consultation
