The Funeral of Mrs. s. A. Peeler.

A larre audience of sad hearts assem- bled In the Baptist church in this place on last Saturday morning at o'clock
 to participate in the last sad tribute Of respect to Mrs. Sarah Peeler, who was
 hurled f om the wagon behind Mir. A.
 NJ. Bradley's runaway team and killed on Thursday evening previoas. The
 funeral discourse was pronounced by
 her pastor, Rev. B. E. Womack, of the
 Baptist church, after reading various
 portions O. appropriate scriptures, the
 sermon and scriptures all relating to the final destiny of tue human race. The discourse was one of great elo- quence and power and full of pathos, and .he encomiums pronounced by m
 upon the beautiful life of this faithful
 christian lady, were as we'll merited as they were eloquent. On the Interior the church was clad in the habilimen.s s of n.ourninc, e windows, chandeliers and pulpit. all draped in moGrn.ng and even the s. $. banner in the right hand corner of the church, as if to complete
 the picture with the banner of death. in l1e window 10 the right on the sad emblem of mourning was the significant ana sadder word "gone.' On the pull pit, and just in front of the eloquent speaker, as if 70 give one ray o. silye. | lining to the black cloud, was the bright
 silver anchor of hope which glittered
 ainst the dark back ground, and In
 easy reach of the departed dead, to lt,.
 dicate to weeping friends who, though they wept her dead, yet wept not as those who have no hope. During q 1 large portion of the services there was
 scarcely dry eye in the vast audience Keys, II. B. Miilner of the c. F. church and A. F. Melton of the M. E. c. South
 occupied the pulpit with Mir. Wolnacl
 and at the conclusion of his pathetic discourse, added few warm earnes and app opiiat remarks, when th' corpse was taken charge of by the pal bearers, Messrs. Charley Smith, w. J lClifford, A. w. Gross, pr. J. M. Gray

Mormon Massacre.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August IA
dispatch from Centerville confirms the
murder of the Mormons in Lewis county
by masked men last Sunday morning.
The raiding party numbered about forty.
Thirteen attacked the house of Martin
Condor, where Mormon meeting was in
progress. Forcing the door, they were
encountered by Condor armed with gun.
In an effort to disarm him one of the
raiders was struck with the gun unmask-
ing him, but he drew his pistol and shot
Conder in the bowels. Condor was shot
again by one Of the party, with buckshot
and instantly killed. At the same time
another of the attacking party fred upon
q Mormon elder named Gibbs, who was
partly hidden behind the wife of Condor,
killing Gibbs aud aeverely woun6ing
Mrs. Condor in the thigh. The party

Berry, who Was hiding behind bed,
killing him instantly. Another Mormon
older in the house, who ran out by the
back door, was pursued By the attacking
party stationed outside. They fired on
him as he ran, but it is no. known
whether or not he waR killed. Alter

A Charleston Lady Gives Her Life TO
Save browning Child.

A tragic occurrence at Sullivan's
Island yesterday afternoon illustrates
anew the herOism and self sacrifice of
which woman is capable.
Between 2 aud o'clock in the after
noon a number of children went in
bathing in front of DR.. Kinloch's house
on SulliYap's Island. The spot has
always been considered dangerous one,
and it is said that several persons have
been drowned near the place. Miss Ella
Benjamin, resident Of Charleston, who
was boarding st Mrs. Walkers house,
went in 10 6athe with the children
Julian Reid, little son Of Dir. Lough-
ton Il. Reid, was among the children
who were bathing. and the little fellowgot
beyond his depth and vas in imminent
danger of losing his life. Miss Benja.
min at once saw the peril, and being a
good swimmer went to his rescue. She
reached the drowning child, caught him
in her arms and held him above the
waves for nearly fifteen minutes until q
boat in which we're two c0lored men
came up.
The little boy was rescued by the col.
ored men, who also made au attempt to
rescue bliss Benjamin. The prolonged
efforts TO save the life of the child, how.
ever, had evidently exhausted her
strength. She kept ahoat until the little
boy was safe, and then sank. Every
effort was made TO recover her body, but
it was fully twenty minutes after the
drowning VII the search was successful.
At the expr.- ion OF that time Miss Ben
jamin's boy floated to the surface and
was taken ashore. The body of the lady
will be brought to the city to day for in
terment.
The information given above was OBJ.
tanned from gentleman who reached
the city on the $50 p. IN. trip of the
,Sdppho from the Island last night. The
distressing occurrence has cast gloom
over the Island, which is not Iessened by
the thought that, in Miss Benjamin, one
moro woman has immortalized herself,
and 80 added yet another bright page to
the history OF woman's love snd devo.
tion.-Neus and Courier.

The Black District.

In regard to the policy Of running
Democratic candidate for Congress
against Smalls in the Black District,
which policy it remarks is advocated by
the Palmetto I'ost and kerBhav Gazette,
and is reported to have been favored by
the general sentiment of the State Exec.
utive Committee at its meeting held in
July, the Georgetown Enquirer says:
IF the people of the various counties
composing the Black District are oppos.
ed to the nomination of Democratic
candidate for Congress, we do not think
the committee has any right to iorce
them into the fight. We are inclined to
think that the vast preponderance OF
opinion in this District 10 hostile to such
course. An estimate of the voting
population of tho Seventh District on
the basis of one voter 10 four ard half
Inhabitants places the white vote ut
1000 and tho colored vote at 1000. In
the face Of such tremendous odds as these
it 10 folly to speak of carrying the district
for the Democracy by any legitimate
means. If the plan cannot be shown to
offer reasonable prospect of success it
would be worse than useless to involve
our people in the expense and trouble
which such contest necessarily implies.
When the State was redistricted in 1882
it was universally conceded, as the name
of the district implies, that it would al
ways be On impregnable Republican
stronghold. Nothing has occurred since
that time to change the situation" The
Enquirer adds that the Sumter Watchnan
and Southron takes the same view of the
matter, and that tho Berkeley Gazette,
while occupying practically the salne
ground, suggests that the Democrats
should give their support to the most
respectable colored candidate, beiug
satisfied that such men as 8. J. Lee, Tom
Hamilton and Bruce II. Williams could
bsins out the entire white vote of the
district.

A dispatch from Augusta, Maine,

A dispatch from Augusta, Maine,
says:
The Kennsbec JonnG! .c s.orrow will
say: "Mucn feeling has been excited in
this community by On event of e1tTaor-
dinRry character. In che we'll known
cemetery lot of the Stanwood family an
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine lies
buried. The child died in July, 1854,
and It's resting place 10 marked by o
beautiful memorial of marble, erected In
1866, on which the dates of birth and
death were plainly inscribed in raised
letters. About two weeks ago 1t wno
discovered that tha date Of tho child's
birth had been carefully ohiselled away.
It was quickly discovered and an inti-
mate friend Of the Blaine family placed
I o detective on the track of the perpetra.
: tor who hes not yet been discovered, but
it is, believed q clue has been found in
the fact that directly after the mutilation
of the memorial person whose name 10
known had copies Of the alleged record
sent to newspapers in various parts Of
the country antagoniatio TO Bleine. The
motive for this act Of vandalism is scarce
lyapparent. There Ia greas indignation
among all claaaes Of people over the
cASEViSeOuS aots .a.t7.
This decoration cannot be charged TO
political motives, for 1t 10 an act of van.
dalism which could not possibly benefit
any opposing party to Mr. Blaine. In
view of the scandal recently published
against Mr.. Blaine 1t 10 unfortunate that
the date referred to should have been
cLiseled away, for 1t might be Of impor.
tancs 20 him to have the date authenti.
cataa by the monument. Itsould not be
of any value to his political opponents to
erase he'date, while ismight be desirable'
for Mr.. Blaine To- ihsfg II, suppressed. It.
will not; therefore, do for Mr.; Blaine to
pose as peraecuted man in this way, for
