Alma Chester Next Week.

The plays that Edward l.. Bloom S
Alma Chester company presents at the
Augusta Opera house next week, COM
mencing Tuesday evening, are noted
for the superiority of their literary
merit and the charm of their con-
struction. for in each case the plays
that are produced come from authors
of unquestionable skill in their line of
work.
1t is not customary to see such
metropolitan productions announced
in the list of a repertoire company's
attractions as Sowing the Wind
"Gloriana." Captain Swift Lady
Windtrmeres' Fan" "a Woman's Re-
dempton, May Blossom La Belle
Russo LAS in Looking Glass and
"A Mexican Romance" for these are
plays which produced in a superb
manner that has identified Mr.. Blooms
company as one of the few successful
repertoire organizations that are on the
road this year.
This company has made it's name IA
nous wherever it has appeared by
giving performances so far above what
has been expected for repertoire" that
has been phenomenal. The company
will be here one week, opening Tuesday
night in a play that has been running
for six years in England, entitled
From Scotland Yard" Each play
produced during the company's stay in
this city will be staged with new and
special scenery. This company this

AUGUSTA MUSICIANS IN BANGOR.
The Success of Miss Lena Beane and
Mrs. Hamilton.

Miss Lena Beane was in Bangor,
Tuesday, for the purpose of rendering
an instrumental program before the
members of the Musical History Class
conducted by her sister, Mrs. Hamilton.
This class consists of eighteen So
ciety ladies who have met once week
since the first of November and under
the instruction of Mrs. Hamilton have
followed the course of music from it's
primeval state through the ancient
and medieval periods to the modern
epoch. Mrs. Hamilton's talks are said
to be clear and concise with an un-
usual depth of meaning and the
|amount of information conveyed in
them is extensive. The papers speak
very highly of her work which IS new
feature in Bangor The subjects and
programs have been, THE Origin of
Music EARLY Notation and It's De-
velopment," Rhythm and it's Ad-
vancement," Ancient Music and Musi-
cal Instruments" Medieval Music and
Celtic Folk Songs National Songs
and other Characteristic Songs and
Dances of Various. Nations Tues
days subject was 1.-THE Link Between
the Medieval and Modern Periods of
Music" together with the discussion
and illustration of certain musical
forms. Miss Beane was cordially re-
ceived. The ladies of the class unani-
mously requested her to repeat the Sc
lections at some future lesson, and be-
ing especially desirous of a repetition
of the Bach Fugue. This certainly is a
most gracious compliment to Miss
Beane's powers of Interpretation since
no compositions task the power of
both player and listener as do those of
Bach. This is the first of eight re-
citals to be given by Miss Beane i'll
Bangor.
The vocal numbers were rendered by
a Bangor lady. The program was as
follows:
'Nevermore,' Scarlatti
(a) Down Among the Dead Men,
(b) Loves Sickness

Notwithstanding the recent storm,
the rural free delivery carriers have de-
liyered their mail on time throughout
and report that the general disposition
on the part of the patrons is to keep the
roads clear. Carriers found the roads
drifted quite badly, Tuesday, more so
than on Monday. Along part of car
rier No. 3's route, the new route IN Sld-
nev. the new roller recently purchased
bv the town of Sidney has given excel
LENT results thus far. Tuesday morn
ing. notwithstanding that the roadS
were badly drifted in other places, the
carriers team was able to proceed
RAPIDLY over the entire distance on ac-
count of this roller. 1t is anticipated
that these roads will be so compact
with snow that the sleighing will last
much longer than on other roads where
n roller is not used and that because OF
the fact those who drive upon these
roads from the other roads in the
spring may find it good sleighing there
where on the other roads it will be bet
ter wheeling.

NEGROES BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A Deadly Dynamite Explosion at
the Stewart Quarry.

Columbia, February 20.-William
Austin, Charles Young and Charles
Washington, three negro laborers at
the Stewart quarry, we're instantly
killed this morning by the premature
explosion of forty pounds of dynamite.
The explosion occurred about 9 o'clock
this morning and, although the quarry
is over two miles from the centre of
the city, the shock was distinctly felt
in the buildings and the window
panes ratified from the concussion.
The noise was heard for miles.
It will never be known how the ac-
cident occurred, as the three dead
men were the only ones in the hole at
the time but it is supposed that the
box containing the dynamite in some
way was dropped or perhaps a fuse
was connected with it. Mr.. R. F.
Scarle, who was standing up on the
hill above the quarry hole, and seve-
raj others who happened to be near,
fastened to the scene at once. The
meu were literally torn to pieces,
sheir clothing being in shreds, and
pieces of flesh being scattered around
for many yards.

FACTS.

should like the public to know
that the Northern portion of the
Monumental Square, which the Grad
ed School trustees and their partisans
are demanding was never dedicated to
educational purposes, but was pur-
chased by James D. Blanding, E. @.
Green and W. F. B. Haynswcrth, as
trustees for the Ladies' Memorial AS
sociation, being conveyed to them by
James l. Coghlan, Sheriff, under
foreclosure proceedings by j. j. Frier-
son against Leonora W. Jones, James
Blanding Jones and others The pro-
perty so conveyed was to be held by
these trustees and by their successors,
(The Daughters of the Confederacy)
"to and for the uses and purposes of
said Association, - "and for none
other.''
AS to our reasons, cannot speak for
the Daughters, but one Daughter
thinks, apart from the question of our
right to violate this trust, that we are
the guardians of the monument, and
that should be our first consideration !;
that the monument should be in pro-
minent position, and should not be
rendered insignificant by being over
shadowed by large building on either
side; that from stand point of pub
lie interest, the only open place in Sum-
ter where the people can assemble for
open air purposes should not be closed.
1t may interest the general public to
know that that part of the square now
occupied by the Graded School was
leased for school purposes upon the
following conditions, (among others} ::
That the school district of the city
of Sumter was to "erect and keep in
repair neat fence on the Northern
line of the lot hereby demised, to pre-
vent the scholars Of said public school
from doing any damage to said Monu-
mental Square or the aforesaid monu
ment thereon.
ITO beautify said Monumental
Square, by laying off walks and
planting ornamental trees thereon and
by the janitor of said public school
to keep up and attend to said Monu
mental Square and said walks and trees
and prevent any damage to the same. y

ELECTRIC ROAD FOR SUMTER.
Proposed Lexington and coIum-
bia Trolley Line Will Run Also
to Camden and Sumter.
TEXT OF THE CHARTER BILL
1t Allows the Company TO Increase Its
CAPITAL Stock TO Five Million Dollars.

Though the company has already
secured a charter under the general
Incorporation act Of the State the con-
Germ that proposes to build the Co
lumbia and Lexington trolley line has
had presented in the house Of repre-
sentatives a bill ''to authorize the
Lexington and Columbia Railway
company to construct its tracks
through certain counties and for
other purposes which indicates that
it is now proposed to build the line so
as also to touch Camden, Sumter and
Saluda.
The provisions of this bill are as
follows: :,
Section /. That the Lexington and
Columbia Railway company, a corpora
tion heretofore created under the laws
of this State, shall have the right to
construct a railroad track or tracks
from the town of Lexington, in the
county of Lexington, to the town OF
Saluda, in the county of Saluda, and
from the city of Columbia, in the
county of Richland, to the city of
Sumter, in the county of Sumter,
and elsewhere in said State; that said
company shall have the right to erect
poles along its tracks and hang wires
thereon; to erect a bridge across
Wateree river, between Columbia and
Camden to condemn land for rights OF
way through the counties Of Sumter,
Kershaw, Richland, Lexington and
Saluda and elsewhere in said State,
and to increase its capital stock to
five million dollars.
Sec. 2. That said company shall have
the right to construct dam or dams
across the Saluda river, in Lexington
county, at any point or points at which
said ssriver is not now navigable, for
the purpose of generating electricity.
It will be noted that the bill is far
reaching and shows that the project
is on much more extensive scale
than was first contemplated.-The
State, Feb, 19.

DEATH BUSY AT MAGNOLIA.
Three Citizens Pass Away Within Short
Space.

Magnolia, Feb. 19.-How incompre-
hensible are the operations of death
On the 7th inst, Capt. D. E. Keels,
who had been seriously i'll for
months, died; on the 18th inst, Mr..
James ". Wilson, who had been i'll
for four months, died, and on the
night of the 18th inst, Mr.. Henry v.
Anderson, who had be very i'll since
the 1st of January last, passed peace
fully and calmly away: aged respec-
lively, IS, 56 and 43 years. They pass
ed away in the order in which they
were taken i'll.
Mr.. Anderson, leaves wife and six
children to mourn his loss, and host
of sympathizing relatives and friends.
He was an elder in the Lynchburg
Presbyterian Church and member
of the board Of trustees for our graded
school, and his services, in both
capacities, will be missed.
There is great deal of sickness in
this neighborhood from different
causes, but mostly from colds.
The storm few nights since, play
ed havoc with the pine timber between
Lynchburg and Shiloh. In some places
where the pines had been protected
from the rayages Of the saw mills and
turpeatine ak, nearly all were blown
down, and some small houses blown
down or unroofed.
The heavy rains have retarded farm
work, bat the gentle (?) breezes we've
been having for the past three days
will soon sweep the surface moisture
away.

FIRE AT ROSE HILL.
Store Building and Managers Dwelling
Burned.

Messrs. J. Ryttenberg & Sons Rose
Hill store building and stock Of gen.
eral merchandise, and the dwelling
house adjoining, which was occupied
by Mr.. E. Alexander, manager of
Rose Hill, were burned at 3 O'Clock
a. m. Friday. Both buildings and their
contents were a total loss, none Of
their contents being saved. When
Mr.. Alexander was awakened by the
roaring Of the flames the roofs Of both
buildings were burning fercely and
almost falling in. He and Mrs. Alex
ander had only time to escape with
their lives, and saved only change of
clothes apiece.
Mr.. Alexander who was in town Fri
day, says that he has no idea how the
fire started or how long it had been
burning when he was aroused. The
store building, dwelling house and
stock of merchandise were insured for
$500, which is less than half the loss.
Mr.. Alexander had s400 insurance
on his household effects, which covers
about one third his loss.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR.. a. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged to
be one Of the most fortunate discoveries
in medicine. 1t quickly cures coughs,
colds and lung troubles OF the severest
nature, removing, as ii does. the cause Of
the affection and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. Il is not
an experimental medicine. but has stood
the test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two million
bottles sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced in the United States
in 1868, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.
