Sensation in Sumter.

Sumter has had quite a sensation recent
ly, owing to some domestic troubles be-
tween P. G.. Bowman and John Reid. Mr..
Reid felt himself greatly aegrieved at Mr..
Bowmau's conduct, and on Sunday morn
ing went hurting for him. He found Bow
man in barber Shop, and Bowman scent,
ing de ager in the air hastily made his exit
bv a back door, so says rumor, and hid him
self IN dry goods box. After reraainins
concealed an Eeur or SO he ventuTed again
on the street, on his way home, but as he
got on the street, Mr.. Reid, who was on the
alert, aga started for him. This was too
much for Mr. Bowman, and be started to-
wards home on a run, Mr.. Reid trying to
outrun him, Bowman however proved best
on g foot race, AMI lett Reid behind. Bow
man got safely to his home, where he stlld
till the first train cane along when he left
without further ceremony. Mr.. Bowman,
it will be remembered, was one Of the four
Sumter rioters, when Trial Justice Hayns-
worth was killed, and Mr. Reid is one OF
Sumter's prominent merchants

Manning Guards III F0reston.

On last Thursday morning, although old
Soils rays were for while hidden by fore
boding clouds, our town was alive and
astir BY n early hour. 1t was the morn:
ing of the long talked of picnic, Civ
en- by the Manning Guards, and
each aud every one was busy prepar-
ing to leave on the S.4S train, which
was to carry them to Foreston, the place Sc
lected for the picnic Upon arriving at the
depot coach was in waiting for the ladies,
and a more beautiful bevy of Clarendon's s
fair daughters, it has never been our good
:ortune to meet, At the appointed time the
rain arrived, and in few minutes we
reached Foreston. The entire village seem
ed to have turned out ea naQsSe to welcome
the visitors, and soon they We're here, there,
and every where, about five hundred per-
sons from eli parts of the county, one hun
6red and fifty having gone from Manning.
A large stand had been erected, car"ble of
Seating several hundred. During the day
the SuTater string band furnished delight
full music After lapse of about an hour
spent n greeting friends. &C., consider
able part of the crowd repaired to the Acad-
emy hall, where the young folks enjoyed
themselves dancing. Dinner, one of the
most interesting features Of the day, came
next, and under beautiful grove of oaks,
on quite an extensive table made in the
form of hollow square, and about one
hundred and fifty feet long, was served
most delightful repast. After dinner the
Manning anl Foreston base ball clubs en-
gagged in match game, resulting IN the
Manning club being defeated. The score
stood p to IS. Just after this was heard
the drum calling the Guards to arms, and
soon the spacious green was alive. The
company, commanded by Capt a. Levi, ae-
Quilted themselves handsomely, and their
evolutions would have done honor to
much older and more experienced company.
During the entire day ice lemonade was
freely served; and Mrs. Edwards's excellent
ice cream and cake was quite in demand.
So ended the delightful day spent in For
eston, and all unite il thanking the kind,
hospitable people of that most thriving lit
tie village for numerous courtesies.

SPRING REVERIES.

Among the crowd of urchinS which
hung around the door of a theater not
over mile from the city hall last night,
watching for a chance to slip in and see
the play, was little slip of chap, not
tired out. He was not as fortu-
nate in getting in as some of
his companions, and so solved the
problem by sitting down on
the theater steps and going to sleep.
Passers-by stopped to look at him as he
sat there, his ragged cap on the back OF
his head and his grimy hands crossed in
his lap. A smile fitted across his face
once or twice. Perhaps then he was
dreaming of things more pleasant than
rushing around in the mud, CRYING

NOT CALLED FOR.
why Aid. Mills Did Not Submit
His Report.

The Republican papers continue in
their efforts to make it appear that the
reason why Aid. Mills did not submit
his report at the council meeting last
Friday, showing a balance in favor Of
day work over the contract system in the
laying of water pipe last year of $13, ,671 40
was that Supervisor Walsh had declined
to attest to the correctness of the report.
This is only in a measure true. The re-
port was not submitted because no re-
port was ever called for. Aid. Mills had
simply asked time to prepare a state
ment, and Aid. JOhnSOn'S motion to
have Engineer Rinker's report printed
was accordingly tabled. A motion to
take from the table the engineers re-
port would have been first necessary
and this was not made. AS to the dis
agreement Supervisor Walsh said yes
terday: Il believe Aid. Mills report is
correct as to facts, but does not appear
upon my books in figures, therefore |
cannot attest to its accuracy as a
clerical statement. For instance, he
estimates that contractors have saved
$4,000 to themselves in not carrying
out their contracts, by not lay
ing pipes to the uniform depth
of eight feet. This does not
appear upon my books, and is simply
an estimate, and, although it is proba-
bly, correct, could not attest the truth
fulness. This is about the only
difference between us. l fully
agree with the alderman
that work by the day is cheaper and
better, and can give many reasons, but
reasons are not figures. The balance l
make, as shown by the books, is S245.74
in favor of day work"

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
The $500" Consents to Restore Rates to
the Old Schedule.
COLONEL M'KISSOCK DEAD.
General Manager Miller Will Probably
20 Be President Of the Milwaukee
al .-.0ther News.

Ie,CHIcAGo, March 22.-The 800"
route to-day withdrew its notice to the
effect that on account of the position
taken by the Burlington & Northern
and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
it would not restore rates March 26, and
has notified Chairman Faithorn that it
will make the advance Monday next in
common with other Northwestern lines.
The $500" has but little in common
with the other lines in the matter of
tariffs, with the exception of the
through seaboard rate. 1t is now MAX
Ing 90-cent rate first-class, New York
ito Minneapolis. and under the agree
nlent will advance this to S1.10, and
other classes in proportion. Whether
it will consent to make the same through
rate as the Chicago lines, pro-
viding the latter are to establish a
pro rate on through business. remains
to be seen. General Manager Harris, of
the Chicago, Burlington & Northern,
advises Chairman Faithorn that he will
agree to restore rates April 5, to the so
cent basis, provided that the other Chi
cagO-St. Paul roads will agree to pro
rate through business from the sea-
board to st. Paul via Chicago. A meet
ing will be held Tuesday to determine
the matter. No meeting of the North
western lines will be held tomorrow,
owing to the fact that several of the
managers were unable to get there.
There is possibility that the South
western roads will not all come into line
next week in the matter of advancing
rates. The general manager of the Wa
bash Western telegraphed to Chairman
Midgely to-day that it would be COM
PEELED to make such rates on live stock
from Kansas City as would give it a por-
ton of the business. The trouble arises
out of the fact that the Milwaukee & ST.
Paul has lately put on improved live
stock ste !, cal cars s, from Kansas City, charging
nary cars. The Wabash, Alton & Bur-
lingtOn will insist upon making the
rates OH the ordinary cars enough lower
to neutraliZe the advantages given ship
pers by the improved car, and if the St.
Paul company should not consent there
will be a lively fight undoubtedly.
