Young South carolinian Wins Fair
Daughter of California.

A very pretty romance, eliminating
in a most romantic marriage, has just
been annonnced-ope. perhaps, OF
several growing out of the meeting OF
the Daughters Of the Confederacy in
Charleston ten days since.
Among the charming young ladies
who attended the Convention of the

roned by Mrs. Stephens. of Stockton,
and Mrs. Alfred Hunter VOORHEES,, of
San Francisco, president of the loca ;
chapter of U. D. C.'s. At the st.
John Hotel, where this party resided
while here, Miss Clary met a young
Carolina gentleman, Mr.. Charlton
Shannon Barrett, who is connected
with the management of the hotel.
They were almost constantly together,
driving, walking. at receptions or at
the hotel. where their friends noticed
their devotion. The result was quiet

to all of whom the groom has been
well known from early childhood, MI.
Barrett being native of Sumter

for many years before his call to St.
Michae1's Church, in this city.
: A few hours after the marriage Mrs.
Barrett left for Wilmington, N. c.,
protesting that she must keep her
engagement to visit her friend, Miss
Mears. From that point she was to
have gone to New York, then to
Montgomery, Ala, with Mrs. Ran
dolph, spending the winter in the
East, but all of these carefully prepar-
ed plans have, fallen through. Mr..
Barrett joined his young bride in
Wilmington yesterday and has taken
her to his mothers home, near
Bishopville, S. c., were they will re-
main short while before taking their
Southern tour, or returning to Carries

The city has an issue of bonds
amounting to- So, 600 which becomes
due on January 1st. These bonds
must either be paid or refunded on
January 1st. Thus far no arrange
ments have been made to either pay
them or to issue new bonds. It is
true that an act was passed at the last
session of the General Assembly per-
mitting the refunding of the bonds,
but if the Council sees fit and can
raise the money to pay them it can do
SO. IF it is possible to pay the bonds
On January 1st it will be good policy
to do So, for on as small an issue as
this it is difficult to secure as low a
rate of interest as should be obtained,
and with the income the city, now en-

Rev. R. Maynard Marshall, Rector
of the Episcopal church at Summer
ton exchanged pulpits Sunday with
with Rev. H H. Covington. Mr..
Marshall has just very recently been
ordained by Bishop Capers to the
ministry. There was very full con-
gregation present to hear the young
clergyman. He preached in the morn
ing from manuscript most impressive
sermon and one which showed ability
and thought. In the evening he spoke
extemporaneously On both occasions
he left most favorable impression on
his hearers. All agreed he gave prom
ise of great usefulness in his sacred
calling. The Reverand gentleman was

Messrs. Schwartz Bros, Sumter, S. c..
Gentlemen: Replying to your kind IA
vor Of a few days since, we have very
much appreciated the business you have
given us and are glad to sell you goods,
but the wholesale people with whom we
deal are clamoring SO vociferously that we
have been forced 30 promise them that we
would quit selling any retail trade. We
have not sold more than half a dozen re-
tail houses for the past several ears. but
the jobbers seem to have way of finding
it out if we sell any at all, and they are
combining against us. we hope you will
understand the situation, and that it will
be your pleasure to buy our goods from
some one of the many jobbers to whom we
sell. If you will write to The Gilmer
Bros. Co., Winston, N. c., we think you
can get the goods at our prices. We do
our best to regulate the prices and to see
that the jobbers all get a profit, but we
understand that Giimer occasionally sells
at cost in order to make new customer.
Our blankets are handled by all Baltimore
iobbers, the largest trade in Philadelphia,
Boston and New York, except Clafiin.
Hoping you will understand our posi-
tion and continue to handle our goods, we
are, Yours trnly, Chatham Mfg. Co.

The Coal Situation.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 29.-The
surprising feature in the coal situa-
tion now is that the price of the BIZ
luminous product has advanced in
this city to 50, the highest ever
known.
For the scarcity-and the scarcity is
responsible for the remarkable figure
quoted-dealers blame the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. They say
that that company controls the soft
coal mines; that plenty of coal is to
be obtained at the mines, and that the
company could bring it here in guam
Titles sufficient to relieve distress if it
were so inclined.
Anthracite coal, leading dealer
declares, is handled as rapidly as it is
mined, and little accumulates at the
mines. One operator says the output
will not be normal before January 10.
Reports from Reading are to the
effect that the fuel situation among
the industrial establishments has be-
come alarming, and that many will
be obliged to shut down if they do not
soon obtain supply.

SHEPPARD MAKES
GOOD HIS ESCAPE.

In October last Theo Sheppard was
working for E. O. Albertson in the
Jewelry store. He suddenly left. 1t
was then discovered that nine watches.
two fancy rings. pen knives, three
diamond rings, and other things
valued at s295, were missing.
Later some of these goods were
traced to Sheppard's home and some
of the goods recovered through the
efforts of Justice Samuel NJ. Hall and
Constable Lorenzo D. Woodruff,
whom the Justice put on the case.
Constable Woodruff found a watch
and breastpin at Cooper Hospital in
the possession of sister to whom
Sheppard gave them. Some other
jewelry was found upon Leslie Burd-
sail. He says that Sheppard gave
them to him. Burdsall is under bail
for receiving stolen goods.
Constable Woodruff has spent a
good deal of time upon the case. H
traced Sheppard to Philadelphia, and
from there he seems to have made
good his escape.

Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. 27.-The
three-masted schooner Harry Pres
cott,, 140 feet in length, drove ashore
at o'clock this morning on a bar
near Little Beach Life saving Station,
three miles above Atlantic City. The
schooner sprung a leak shortly after
grounding, and the Little Beach and
Little Egg Harbor life-saying crews
went aboard and worked with the ves-
sells crew to keep the water out of
the hold There is no imminent fear
that she will go to pieces, as she is
lumber laden.
The nipping cold weather is making
the work of the seamen difficult. The
wrecking tug North American, from
Philadelphia, arrived this afternoon
and will try to pull the schooner off at
high water.
The PRESCOTT is bound from Bruins

consigned to New York, and is COM

TO Reform SCHOUL.

Court was held Friday morning in.the
Grand Jury room at the Court House

pose of Investigating the matter of
the burning of the buildings at the
Home for Feeble minded Children at
Vineland on Nov. 9Th and Dec. 11th.
Harold VanOrden. George Richman
and Robert Williamson, the three boys
all under 16 years of age, who set
fire to the buildings, were brought
over from Vineland lookup this MORN
ing by Constable Spencer.
Superintendent Johnstone, of the
Institution, was sworn as a witness
and testified to the fires having oc-
Cured and told of the confessions of
the boys as to the burning of the
buildings. He also told of the mental
conditions of the boys. While the
minds of the boys showed signs of
weakness, still the greater trouble
seemed to be disposition to commit
mischief.
Judge Trenchard put the boys under
an examination and satisfied himself
that all had sufficient degree of
mentality to make them legally re-
sponsible. All three were sentenced
to the Reform School and given into
custody of Sheriff Diament.
