KILLED HIMSELF WITH A PISTOL.
The Mad Act of w. j. Hine in Birm-
iHgham.

Ibgnams
Last night at o'clock, just DIS the
HERALD was preparing to go to
press, through the courtesy of the
Birmingham Age Herald, we re-
ceived the following dispatch:
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Nov. Especial
to the COLUMBIA HERALD. w. j. Hlne
committed suicide i'll his room at the
Victoria HoteI This afternoon by shoot
ing hi ~ self in the head with a piston.
He left a note requesting tnaV ne oe
buried in the clothes he had on, Dul
giving no reason for his mad act. he
was broker doing limited business,
and had been cOnstitutlonally u0Iortu-
nate in his business affairs. he had
lately taken to drink and went from Dao
to worse. He was formerly Southern
Express. Agent and bore good charac-
ter. He leaves widow and three emil,
dren at mis- old home III Columbia, ana
to that point his remains Will be snip
ped.
This news will be painful surprise
to the large acquaintance the de-
ceased has in this city. They will
be panied TO learn of his death and
shocked to know th-r death came to
hi II from his own ar5.
He lived IN tuis community as a
young man, .,.jiuarGiej ne-e marry
ing Miss Mary Barnett, the youngest
daughter of the late Maj. l. N.
Barnett, one of. the most attractive
society ladies of Co.um bia. That was
some fifteen years ago. Since then
few years he lived in West Tennessee,
but came back to Columbia and the
greater part of his married life was
spent here. He bore a reputation
second to no man in the community
for good morals, honesty, integrity,
energy and christian department..
He was Mason in good standing
when he left here less than a
year ago, and member Of the Vestry
OF st. Peters (EpiscopaD Church. A
man of economical habits, placid
temperament and accommodating dis
position. Such man as one would
least expect TO do so rash an act.
His remains will arrive here this
morning, accompanied by his nephew
Mr.. John Hine. The interment will
take place in Rose Hill Cemetery
We are not advised of the hour.
To his grief stricken wife and
fatherless little ones, the deepest
tenderest, most compassionate sym
pathy of a community where she hai
been raised and known and loved al
her life, will go out in all its fullness

TWO Views of Maltzing.

HIS VIEW.
SHE Iean'd on my arm while we circled
toy cher,
MID soft, dreamy sound,
Till prayed we might swim through
the scent-laden ether
Forever aroundi
In the strands of her dark locks the
amber light gloated,
Her blue eyes cleaned bright;
While DER the oak floor filmy skirts
swept and f1oated
Like fall'n leaves by night.
HER VIEW.
He hung round my waist, while his
grimy glove Fingered
Ny white, fleecy gown;
To slow time he raced and to last time
And grinned like clown!
Ger the heights of his collar his red face
glow'd brightly,
Like lobster boiled red;
And round as the moon in the sky that
shines nightly,
The shape of his head.

CIGARETTE LAw.-Probably our
people are aware of the fact that there
is law forbidding the sale Of cigar
cites to minors under eighteen years
of age. This law, however, is violated
every day in our city, and small boys
seem to have no difficulty in obtaining
the noxious ornaments in face of the
stringent penalty of the law on those
who may be convicted of selling OF
giving them away. Parents have the
privilege Of requesting dealers to refuse
to sell cigarettes to their children, and
the law will back them up in such de-
mands.

SAD TIDINGs. s.-The sad news has
reached Dl. and Mrs. Thompson in
this city on Monday morning that their
son, John Thompson, aged % years,
residing at Troy, New York, had passed
away with pneumonia after brief ILL
ness. The circumstance is a sad
atfiiction to the parents and relatives
on this coast. He was a promising
young man, and in connection with
his brother, George Thompson, was
engaged in business in Troy, where he
was doing we'll. Five years ago he
spent a few months with his parents
then residing i'll Albany. He was
born in Minnesota where he received
his education. The family here have
the sincere sympathy of our citizens in
their sorrowful bereavement.

A GooD MARKET.-The local mark
ct in staple products realizes good
prices of late. Butter is 25 cents per
pound, and eggs 20 cents a dozen.
Apples are IN good demand, and are
quoted at so cents per bushel. They
are generally void of pests this season,
showing that slight care and attention
will purify them to a great extent.
Potatoes are cheap at 40 cents bushel,
but the outlook is more favorable than
it was a short time ago. Bartlett pears
are IS cents, but are scarce. Onions
at dollar are not a bad show ing,
while tomatoes at the same price re-
main in good demand. Bacon is l2aa
cents per pound and hams Is and l6
cents. The market is generally we'll
supplied with ordinary fruits and veg
etab!es of home production which have
IA sale at very good prices.

THE ToMB.-Another happy home
in our midst is burdened with the sad
circumstances of death. Little Ney
Klger, aged Is years and one month,
son of Reuben and Minerva Kiger,
died last Monday evening, surrounded
by loving hearts, whose ministrations
for the relief of the sufferer prevailed
not, and thus youthful career was
swept into that mysterious future,
from whence no sight nor sound re-
turns. Ney was a bright and promis-
ing child, and had special peculiarly
intelligent traits of character that made
him interesting and attractive to those
with whom he associated. The be-
reaved family of the deceased have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in this af1iction. The burial
occurred Wednesday afternoon at the
Locke cemetery.
