OueereSt Of Horse Races.

That interesting writer, "kettledrum,'
in the Sporting Chronicle, tells marvel
Gus story of a blind sportsman of the
eighteenth century. His name was John
Metcalf, and he was born at knarcs-
borough in 171S. He was blinded by
smallpox at the age of 4.
Mctcalf began to attend the races at
York, and it was common for him to
ride among the crowd, and, helped by
gentlemen to whom he was known, he
often bcttcd with success. 1t was
thought a wild thing when he matched
one of his horses to run three miles on
the Forest Moor.
With the idea that Metcalf would be
unable to keep the right course, long
odds were bettcd against him. But his
ingenuity provided him with an cNpe-
dient in the dilemma. The track was a
round one of mile, and each turn he
had a man stationed with bell to ring
out his approach. This scheme and the
superior speed of his mount pulled him
through and he was heartily chccrcd on
to victory.

Forty Thousand Dollar Fire in
Sumter,

SUMTER, March 1S.-The biggest fire
that has occurred in this city for several
years broke out at half past S o'clock this
evening. 1t started IN mule shed at
tached to G. F. Epperson's large sale and
livery stable on Canal street. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The great guam
tity of fodder and hay stored in the build
ings made them yeritable tinder boxes
and appeared almost as an explosion.
Before the alarm was sounded the flames
were bursting through the shingle roof,
and in a remarkably short time all the
buildings on the premises were burning.
Several negro houses on Sumter street
caught fire. At the same time the flames
crossed Canal street and the two county
jails, the old and the new, were ablaze.
Both these are of brick and did not burn
so rapidly; indeed the new Jail is still
burning. The walls of the old Jail crum-
bled rapidly and the upper part fell with
a great crash. From the jails eastward
the fire spread to one of the Epperson's
store houses, in which was large guam
tity of wagons, agricultural implements
and machinery, thence to stables and
warehouses of the Craig Furniture COM
pany. Two houses ON the west side of
Sumter street were also consumed. Many
buildings within quarter of mile
caught from sparks and flying cinders,
but the fire was prevented from spread
ing beyond the limits described by per-
sistent and plucky work of the fire de-
partment aided by many citizens.
The prisoners confined in Jail were
taken safely to the city guard house and
packed in there like sardines in box.
All the live stock in the stables were got
ten out except about six head of horses
and mules.
This is the third time that Mr.. Epper-
son has been burned out, and the loss
now falls most heavily upon him.
Altogether the value of the property
destroyed may be safely estimated at
$4,000, with insurance of probably $14,-
600. Nineteen buildings were destroyed,
with losses as follows:
Geo. F. Epperson, livery stables, sheds
and machinery building, also five tene-
ment houses, a total of II buildings; loss
estimated at $4,000, insurance $500.
j. D. Craig, furniture company, two
warehouses, stables and carriage shed,
with stock in buildings; loss $4,000, in
surance $4,000.
New county Jail; loss $4,000, insurance
$4,000.
Old jail; loss $500, insurance $1,000.
Horace Hardy, two tenement houses;
loss $500, covered by insurance.
The city had a small loss in several
sections of fine fabric fire hose attached
to the plug near the burning buildings
which were destroyed, the heat becom-
ing so intense that the firemen had to
flee for safety.

Tatum's Saw Mill Burned.

ORANGEBURG, March 16-The saw
mill and outfit of Mr. ". o. Tatum, near
Norway in this county was burned few
days ago. Mr. Tatum was away at the
time and the fire gained such rapid head
way, owing to the high March wind, that
nothing could be saved although the fire
occurred in the middle of the day. Dur
ing the fire the boiler exploded and was
thrown quite distance into the woods.
All of the machinery was completely ruin
ed and, in addition to the buildings, a
large quantity of lumber was burned.
The loss amounts to over $4,000 and
there was no insurance. Mr.. Tatum is an
energetic business man and it is reported
that he will re- establish his saw mill plant
as soon as possible. lie isl member of

Zen. Chaffee'S HerOiSm.

One of the chapters of Gen. Chaffee' s
diary deals with the fight of the 'Big
Dry Wash" in the summer of 1882, cher
ishcd by cavalrymen as one of the gal
liant ones of their arm Of the service.
About one hundred and fifty White
Mountain ApacheS, who had taken to
the warpath, were on one side Of cam
yon in the Mogollon plateau. Chatfee, a
major, with q pursuing troop of the 9th
Cavalry, held the summit of rocky
hill commanding the entrance to the
canyon. The battle went on for hours.
One of the scouts fell some twoscore
wards from where Chaffce was standing.
A second scout at Chaffce's elbow re-
marked that the fallen man was done
for, but the major saw that he was only
wounded.
Come along" said he, "and We'll fetch
him in"
Then he threw himself flat on the
ground and crawled toward the wound
ed soldier. The scout followed. Slowly
and painfully Chaffee and his compan-
ion, in the face Of a concentrated lire
from all the Indians, worked their way
to the wounded man, and half carried,
half dragged, him back within the lines.
The handful of troopers on the rock,
thrilled with the deed that had been per-
formed, forgot the task in hand, stopped
fighting and began to cheer. This made
Chatfee furious, and he shouted at the
top Of his voice:
Shut up that noise and 60 to shoot
inr!" Thus recalled to the work of fight
in" Indians, Chaffee's men again turned
their attention to their carbineS, and re-
lieycd in the nick of time by two troops
of the Sd Cavalry, slowly they fought the
foe to Il standStill The ApachcS, almost
to 4 man, were killed or captured. Chat
fee was brevetted lieutenant-colonel
for this days work, and in 1897 the
brevet became a commission.

There is movement on foot to estab-
lish an electric light plant in connection
with the oil mill for the purpose of light
ing the streets of the town, provided a
contract can be made with the city coun-
Gil. We hope the council will decide to
use electricity for lighting purposes if an
equitable proposition is made by The
Cotton Oil Company. The income of
the town is now about $1,000 or more a
year, and the present very poor street
lamps cost now, we understand, some
thing like $70O year. Electric lights
could be furnished at something like
81 coo or 81 200 a year, and there would
be no comparison between the two. We
regard the present lights as absolutely
worthless and the money spent for them
as thrown away. Council should give
us lights worthy the name or have none
at all. The income of the town warrants
electric lights, our people want them,
and we ought to have them.

The OutcaStS.

Mr.. w. \. Fraser, author of Mooswa
and Others has just written for early
publication in The Saturday Evening
Post short, stirring serial, entitled The
Outcasts.
The Outcasts are an old buffalo and a
wolf-dog, and the greater part of the story
is about the strange comradeship and
striking adventures of these companions,
and their pilgrimage, in company, to the
distant plains of deep grass, of which the
wolf-dog knew.
There are action, and strength of word
and phrase in the story, and the touch of
the soil and the music and charm and
sombrencss of the forest. The rush of
the frcnzicd buffalo herd to death is told
with splendid dramatic power. The
plan of the book is 4 unique conception
and it is worked out on novel and enter
tanning lines.
