An Old Lady Burned to Death.

Mrs. .J.P. Keller, mother of Judge Kel-

years of age, paralyzed in the left side
and unable to- o talk. !. She was stirring

basket fell out and the fire ignited her
dress on the right side.' The flames
quickly enveloped her person. Her left
arm being useless she was unable to
make even an effort to eXtinguish the
fire, and, being unable to speak, could
not call for help. She was found in the
room with her lower limbs almost en-
tirely consumed, but still alive. The
chair in which she had sat had been
burned under her, and the aged lady
was lying on the floor, when smell of
burning flesh attracted the attention
of people in the house. SS Notwithstandr tIsta a.

a Thief In n Tight Place.

Monday night Leander Smith planned
to rob the store Of Robert Pugh & Co !,
about nine miles from here. He climb
ed to the roof, took off all his clothes
and then tried, to slip down the Chin
ney. In doing 50 he loosened a brick,
which fell down into Mr.. Pugh's cham
ber underneath. Mrs. Pugh, alarmed,
got up, and as the night was cold
placed match in the fireplace, which
was filled with lightwood ready for
kindling. Smith had in the meantime
got half way down the chimney, and
there he stuck fast. He was unable to
get out. The harder he struggled the
tighter he was wedged in. Smoke from
the fire underneath began to ascend
which made the condition unbearable.
Thoroughly alarmed, he yelled loudly
for help. His cries brought, the whole
town out. A windlass was procured,
and by daybreak, after enduring much
suffering, he was pulled out and land
ed in jail.-Wilmington Star.

A Rice Thief Comes to Grief.

Over the river in Brunswick New
Years eve, a colored preacher who had
an engagement to hold "Watchnight'
meeting, got into little trouble which
not only forced him to forego his re-
ligious duties, but has since kept him
confined to his bed with his lower ex-
tremities pretty well peppered with
SMALL shot. 1t happened in this wise:
The overseer on the rice plantation of
Col. Jno. W. Atkinson had reason to
suspect that some one was robbing the
barn where rice was stored, and set a
watch for the thief New Years eve.
"The night was dark and the wind was
STILL" when he saw a dark object
emerge from under the barn, but there
was nothing in its appearance that
would even suggest a preacher in dis
guise. The oYerseer cried stop! but
his cry only lent wings to the flying
feet Of the luckless wight, and a mo-
ment later he was floundering in the
grass with his bag of rice, both of his
legs being filled with small shot from
the oyerseer's gun. The watch meet.
ing was held, but the familiar voice OF
the preacher was not heard there.-Wil-

.by his uncle, 4. II. Stone, wholesale
glove dealer, was takenyery sick, and

Maggie Norton, with whom Baker was
ACQUAINTED, called at the Probate office
that day and secured q marriage IL
cense, then conducted Justice Bohm to
the room Where Baker lay dying and
asked Bohm to marry them, which ne
did. Baker was so weak that he could
scarcely raise his hand to that OF his
bride. The Health Officer declares that
Baker was too feeble to realize what
he was doing. That night Baker died,
and the energetic Mrs. Baker went TO
4, II. Stone and demanded the keys. to
Bakers trunks. Stone refused to glva
them up and told the woman that she
would make nothing by marrying a
dead man. She went away indignant,
and has retained counsel. Baker was
thirty-three years old, and recently
came from Nottingham, n. Y. At the
request of his brothers, A.. \. Stone
was to-day appointed administrator OF
Rnkers estate. He declares the Wo-

ANARRoW ESCAPE FOR AIKEN.
-Four Stores Burned Down and two others
Damaged by Fire.

AIKEN, January 10.-A serious fire
took place here to-day on Main street
It occurred about 11.30 o'clock, when
all the different congregations were at
their respective churches. The bell at
the town hall gave the first alarm, and
very soon throngs Of citizens crowded
the streets. The fire took place in the
store Of W. j. Mosely, Sr., and soon
sgead rapidly. It appears that during
Yesterdays severe gale portion OF the
chimney attached to Mosely's store
was blown down. He did not know OF
this accident and last night built a fire
as usual. In the night the fire must
have caught and smouldered until to-
day and broke out at 11.30 A. M. The
Aiken steam engine was out soon after
the alarm Of fire, but in consequence OF
the extreme severity of the weather
was all frozen up and could not get to
work until thefire had been under way
over 'three-quarters Of. an hour. Our
fire company and the citizens worked
brayely, and it Is due to their exertlons
that at least cpe-half OF the business
portion of the town was not burnt up.
Help was asked from Augusta, and
soon special train brought over an
engine and hose carriage with full
complement of men. This aid arrived
too late to be of much avail, bnt was
duly appreciated by our people, and in
the event of a general confagratlon,
which we feared, would have enabled
us to save much property.
The following stores were totally de-
ssroyed f.. B. Henderson,, W. j.
Moseley and John B. Heriot. The
stores Of Robt. Powell and c. K. Hen
derson were damaged. The insurance
ON the property destroyed and damaged
was S3S, S,46e. The total loss will not
exceed $4,000. The losses are only
partial, on account of removal, on all
except F. 3. Henderson, W. J. Moseley,
ST., & W. Moseley and J.. 3. Heriot
During the fire an explosion OF pow
der in one. Of the stores injured Jetf
Ganey, colored, probably seriously,
John Ganey, his brother, painfully, and
Bradley OFT, white, slightly. RI;
We have hada narrow escape from a
general confagration. Too much
praise cannot be accorded to Engineer
Turnbun and the Aiken fire company
and the citizens generally for their
noble work to-day inisaving the town
of Aiken from complete devastation.

BARNETT, January 5.-On the even
ing Of Tuesday, December 20, near Will

respectively sixteen and twenty-four
were married. The former to a young
man named Addison, and the latter tt

five years Of age, and by trade black.
smith. Both couples bade their friends
adieu and started for Vicksburg, Mis-
sissippi, where it was supposed they in.
tended to locate. They reached Thorn
son, Ca, the following day, Wednesday
where they halted and put up at the
Knox House, and remained until Fri
day, January /, when they boarded
train No. /, and got off at Barnett with
the expectation Of finding accommoda
tions. Failing to do so, after spending
several hours, Addison and his wife
returned to Thomson by fast train tt
spend the night, and Stroud and his
wife went to Sharon on the Washing
ton branch.
Before separating, the baggage of the
party, consisting of FIVE trunks, was
checked to Atlanta, and it was agreed
between them that they would all meet
the following morning at Barnett, and
proceed westward by fast train. When
Stroud and wife reached Sharon they
stopped at the Edwards House, and the
next morning Stroud informed his wife
that he would run out to Barnett and
meet the other couple and would re.
turn on the next train. He carried
with him a small black valise, and
when he arrived at Barnett purchased
ticket to Union Point and Joined Ad-
Olson and his wife and has not been
heard of since, but it is supposed that
he went to Atlanta, as the baggage be.
longing to himself and wife has been
claimed there, and he was in possession
Of the checks. 1t was very hard for
the lady to realize that she had been
deserted by her husband after being
married only a few days, and when
she was enabled to view her position
in it's true light she wept bitterly, and
remarked that she would prefer death
to having to return to her parents roof
under such circumstances.
She was left without a dollar and
among strangers, but she has been
kindly treated and will be furnished
with the necessary means to return
home. The father of these young Ia
dies, R. L. Wade, is respectable farm
er. and the father of thirteen children
Walter Stroud is the son of the Rev. W.
II. Stroud, a baptist minister, who has
lived for some years in the vicinity OF
Williston, Aiken County, and is the
father of ten children. He is poor, but
respected where he is known. In 1876
he removed from Langley, S. c., to At
lanta, Ga, where he located for awhile
but finally returned to Carolina.
Walter Stroud returned his wires
trunk from Atlanta, by express to-day
and wrote her saying: Il know l have
treated you badly. | am strapped, and
it is best that we should never meet
again." She left for home by the fast
train this evening. ... ..,-
