The board of control last Satur-
day took charge of the dispensary.
Mr.. A. 0. Mouzon, of Greeleyville,
was elected to succeed dispenser
r. r. Suits, and that gentleman
took charge of the business Tues
day. In going over the stock, pre-
paratory to turning over to Mr.
Mouzon, the board found thirteen
cases empty, with the wire seal
cut, but which were beneath piles
of full cases. Of these Mr.. Suits
told us he has no knowledge. Mr.
Mouzon, the new dispenser, has
been dispenser at Greeleyville ever
since the establishment of the dis
pensary at that place, and never
once has there been anything
wrong in his accounts. Mr.. s. M
Bradshaw was elected to succeed
Mr.. Mouzon at Greeleyville.

BASE BILL GALORE.
CHAMPIONS WIN
THREE MORE GAMES.
Black River and Indiantown Go Down
Before Them and Lake City
Forfeits a Game.

The KingStree base ball club has
won three more victories during
the past week. Last Thursday
the team played the Black River
nine with the usual result. Black
we'll pitched a good game for the
visitors, but was poorly supported
on the field. kingstree's battery
was Gilland and Jacobs, and was
a good one.
The game of base ball between
the mines of kingstree and Lake
City scheduled to come OIL last
Friday was not played, the cap
tam of the Lake City team re-
fusing to play unless certain men
on the local team occupied certain
positions. Of course the Kings
tree club refused TO be dictated to
by the captain of the visiting
team, and after waiting for some
time the home team took The field
aSd the umpire called "play
ball" No batter showed up and
the ball was pitched over the
home plate as required by the
base ball rules, and the game
was forfeited to KiHgstree by a
score of 8; 100.
On Tuesday the local club went
out to Indiantown TO play the
"rub' with that team. Onr boys
were smarting under their defeat
there two weeks ago. and went
out determined to win-and they
did. Both sides did some heavy
batting. but the score will tell the
tale. j. Hanna did some excel
lent work in left field for the In
diantown side. and won much
by his clever catching
of "flies." Neither Gilland or
Daniel pitched as good a game'as
usual, and the infield errors by
both sides were Numerous. About
sevenly:five admirers from Kings
tree went along with the nine,
and "rooted" in a great way.
Out of a total of twelve games
this season, Kingstree has lost
only two, which is good record.

Train No. 23, south bound, kill
ed two negro men on the track
about three miles above here last
Wednesday night. The negroes
were both strangers to these parts
aad no one knew them. 1t is
sald by some who saw the re-
mains of one of them that he W as
seen here in company with
another yellow fellow Wednesday
morning.
The engineer did not report
any accident when he reached
Aingstree, and nothing was known
here Of the tradgedy until Thurs
day morning, when section mas
lei Scott came to town and made
the fact known. We at once
dispatched to the scene, but not
much could be learned at that
early hour. The sight presented
was an awful one. The first thing
that met ones gaze as he reached
the spot was the dead body of a
negro man, with a great. ugly
ilole in the top of his head, the
body lying in cralnped, bent
position by he side Of the track,
face downward. Around the
head was great pool of blood,
which had flowed from the cash
in The skull, which was the only
wound on the uniortllnate'man
Passing down he track one soon
would see pieces ol,ihe flesh bones
and Drains Of The other man.
Along the road for mile, or more
was parts of the body. The
brains, intestines. and bits of
flesh were scattered all around.
The front teeth were found in one
place and the jaw bone in another.
About two hundred yards from
where the first man was lying was
foCnd one leg of the. second man,
it being horribly broken and
bruised. Further on lay the
other leg. in the same condition,
still further was the trunk and
head. All the face was cut and
bruised, and the brain had all been
beaten out. 1t was truly hor-
ribly sight, and really made one
shudder to look upon it.
The men were evidently asleep
on The track, one on the side of it
and the other lying it the middle
OF 1t. A coat was found, folded
and lying upon cross-tie, as if
for a pillow, and was no doubt the
property of the man who was Sc
horribly mangled, as the other
had on a coat wh IN found. From
papers and letters found in the
pockets of the coat it was found
that the negro was Tom Trimble.
of Stanton, Va. Papers in the
pockets of the other man proved
him 10 be Willie Gibbs, of Harts-
vile, s. G.
The coroner held an inquest
Thursday afternoon, DR.. w. V.
Brockinton conducting the auto
psy. The verdict of the jury was
that the two men came 10 their
death by being struck by ira n
No. 90 on the North Eastern rail
road, caused by their own care
lessness. The railroad company
bought cofIins and the remains Of
Trinble were inferred in field
near where the accident occurred,
and those of Gibbs were sent to
his family at Hartsville.

FOR SEVENTEENTH STREET.

The New Improvement Club Passes
Resolutions That Mean Business.
The new Park Lane and Seventeenth
street improvement Club held its reg
ular weekly meeting last evening at
Stevens Hall. 4499 Seventeenth street.
The club is directing its energies toward
the opening and extension of Seventeenth
street. from Uranus to Ashb1ry.
To have the work done by private con-
tract, which is the plan most desired by
the club as being the cheaper. the amount
necessary 10 be subscribed is $4,000. only
about $3.50 has been subscribed. With
this regard the following resolutions were
passed:
ResolTed, That we try for one week more to
obtain subscriptions to have Seventeenth
street graded, and If the property-owners do
not subscribe literally enough, then be it
further
Resolved, That we have an assessment dis
trct laid out by the Board of Supervisors to
have said Seventeenth street graded from
Uranus streetto Ashbury, taking in the same
district that was assessed for the opening of
said street.
John I. Bremens and William Meyers
constitute the committee on subscriptions.
The club is determined 10 have car
line on Seventeeth. street and a di-
rect outlet from the Mission to
the park, and this is the only
street south of Haight that, they say, can
be made good direct driveway.
