that it was by this beam that he had

that it was by this beam that he had
been struck and knocked from the
track. Examination Of the old gentle
mans pockets by the sheriff, showed
that nothing had been disturbed. He
had in his pockets the sum of $5.40-one
dollar in paper and the balance in sill
yer.
Upon the conclusion Of the investiga-
tions in the railroad cut, Sheriff Logan
had the body of Mr.. McKeown placed
on the train and brought to the York
Vile depot, from whence it was remov-
ed to the office Of DR.. Walker. A jury
Of inquest, which had previously been
summoned, proceeded with the exami-
nation of witnesses and developed most
of the facts stated in the foregoing.
The jury arrived at the conclusion that
the deceased had come to his death by
being knocked from the railroad track
by the freight engine. During the af-
ternoon, Mr.. McKeown's son-in-law-
Mr.. Love-came down after the body
and took it away for burial at the old
McKeown burying ground, near
Smiths ford.
Mr.. McKeown was born in the vicini-
ty of Smiths ford and lived there all
of his life. He was well-known
throughout the western part of the
county and had many friends and ac-
quaintances throughout York and ad-
joining counties. He was quite veal
thy previous to the war, owning many
slaves and many acres Of fine lands.
He continued good liver after the war
and was known far and wide for his
splendid hospitality. 1t is said that no
stranger who ever applied at his door
was ever denied entertainment for a
meal, a night, or as long as he cared to
remain. His wife died sometime ago,
and since the beginning of the present
year he decided to move to Blacks
burg, Of which place he was citizen
at the time Of his death. He said on
Tuesday that he was 6S years Of age.
He leaves six children-three sons and
three daughters.
Mr.. w. M. Kennedy, Of Yorkville,
served with Mr.. McKeown in the army.
They were mess and tent mates. Mr..
said Thursday, II knew West
ley McKeown we'll. We left here fer
the front on December 6, 1861, and Mr..
McKeown was paroled at AppomattoX.
There was not better soldier in either
army. He never tried to shirk duty
and he was never sick. The only time
he lost out Of the service was on ac-
count of two wounds-one in the arm
and the other in the thigh. He hrJong-
ed at first to Holcomb's Legion, and
was afterwards transferred to the 7th
South Carolina cavalry, commanded by
Colonel A. c. Haskell"
To gentleman in Yorkville, on Tues
day. Mr.. McKeown said that his de-
fective hearing was due to the bursting
of Yankee shell over his head during
the war. ~

Lancaster Negligence.
EDITOR HERALD:

EDITOR HERALD:
The County Board ut its November
session decided to build new court
house. At its adjourned session on
Tuesday il decided not to do SO.
The city of Lancaster, or rather the
tax payers Of the city, are no more
Interested in the preservation of the
county records that are now in dan
ger of destruction than are the tax
PAYERS throughout the body Of the
county. At the same time the cree
tion of new court house would give
employment to many of our mechan-
les and laboring men, and when
erected it would be an adornment to
the city. In this way the citizens of
Lancaster would receive a special
benefit from its construction. If the
city Of Lancaster had upon the County
Board the number of supervisors that
it legally might have had the action
of the Board upon Tuesday might
have been different.
Ihe city has now no more represent
tatives upon the County Board than
the least populous town or village in
the county. That has been true Of
PlattevilIe, bat as it has adopted the
general charter for cities it will be
true Of ii no longer. That city will
now be divided into wards, and rs it
may have ward for every five hun
dred inhabitants and its population
is over three thousand it may have
six representatives upon the County
Board. for each ward viii elect "A sup
ervisor. Under the special charter Of
Lancaster the city can have but one
supervisor for the charter contains
no provisions for dividing the city
into wards.
In order TO obtain fair representa-
ton we must adopt the general char
ter II we 10 we will be entitled to
four supervisors. Will the city ex-
hibt good sense enough to adopt the
general charter at once, so that it
may elect four supervisors in the
spring who will have voice on the
County Board. not only concerning
court house but as to equalizing, APP
preparations and all other questions
that will come before the Board.

Mr.. Him moved a committee of

further Investigations and report the
result of their findings to the next
session of the County Board.
Mr.. Gardner asked why il was
necessary to defer action.
Mr. Him said that after talking to
members he favored waiting. He did
not favor being too hasty.
Mr.. Gardner said that the board
had evidence that the committee had
not been hasty. They had moved
slowly and had been careful, and he
could see no reason why such mo-
ton should be put. He thought the
proper course TO pursue was to decide
whether Grant county needs court
house, then, if necessary, to deter
mine when we shall build It,
MIR. Jeffrey in reply to Mr.. Him
said that if Grant county needs
court house, it is dangerous to delay
in the matter. The matter had been
fully discussed. and committee had
been appointed to INVESTIGATED
particularly the vaults, and after in
vestigation recommended the new
court house be built. The recon-
mendation carried with it the fact
that the county would build The
records, he said. would show whether
he was right or wrong. He ssked
the pertinent question, "What was
the committee appointed for?" 1t
was, he said, appointed to take neces-
sary steps, to investigate the kind
and description of court house the
county wanted. If that is a fact, all
that is necessary is to vote the
amount the building would cost.
With reference TO delay he said that
new mem bers would, in some cases
be elected each year, and the board
would have to be re-enligntened. The
matter would 70 over from wear to
year. Mr.. Jeffrey thought even Mr..
Him. himself, sincerely hoped his
motion would not prevail.
Mr.. Glenn said that he thought
every chairman now here would be
here at the next session. and he
thought that the more the matter
was aired the better it would be-

Serious Harm.
I'D like to know something about

Rodays The pistol is regarded as a
barbarous weapon by the regulation
Partisan duelists, and when it is in
sisted upon they generally do all they
can to mitigate the horror of the occa-
sion. I was shown several specimens
of the standard dueling arm in one of
the fashionable shooting galleries of
Paris few years ago, and my merry
laughter seemed to pain the habitues
who were present. They explained
to me, with dignity, that a gentleman
does not desire to mutilate or mangle
his adversary on the field of honor,
as they understood was the custom in
civilized America, and that their pis-
tolls were made specially to avoid any
brutal Disagreement. L agreed cordi-
ally that they were well adapted to
that end They were millimeters in
caliber, which is nearly the same as
our 20, and were loaded with special
cartridges that contained about half
the regular service charge. Unless it

d'armes at the gallery that the type OF
pistol Issaw was the one used at all
the famous duels of recent date, and
| was then able to understand why
those who were wounded were able to
make such quick recoyeries. Prior
to that time l had supposed the 'ster-
eotyped joke about the harmlessness
of French dueling pistols was badly
overdrawn, but / doubt now whether
it does the subject justice. 1t is a
fact, by the way, that several Ameri-
cans have bluffed themselves out of
duels in Paris by insisting on Colt
.45-caliber revolvers at short range.
The hero of one memorable episode of
that Kind was a physician who has
now the largest practice in the Amer

well-known young Partisan, and when
waited on by a very stiff-necked colo
