Arrested For Arson.

An arson warrant has been placed
IN the hands Of Comptroller General
Jones special deputy for ]. Ed. Boyer,
in whose store the big fire which de-
stroyed fifty houses and places Of busi-
ness at Brookland, across the Con-
earee. started from the explosion OF his
Kerosene engine. The evidence which
the Comptroller General has gathered
indicates that he had made prepara-
tions for the fire by moving out MS
goods. The warrant was issued under
the special act of the Legislature re-
curing the Comptroller General to in
yestigate all suspicious fires. Mr.. Boyer
Is more or less prominent in the town
and his arrest has created q sensa-
ton, although it was not altogether
unexpected in certain Well-lntormeu
quarters. The evidence is circumstan-
tial so far, but it is strong: on its face

once, as it was reported that Boyer
was making preparations to leave the
country. Boyer took his arrest calmly,
being allowed to come to Columbia
under guard to consult an attorney. The
preliminary examination has been set
for Friday morning at 10 o'clock before
Magistrate j. P. Merchant. at Brook
land. A popularity Of the arson law
in this State Is that a man cannot De
punished for setting fire to his own
place, but If, as result OF that fire,
other houses are fred or are within the
legal danger limit he is liable for IN
dictment for arson.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has
learned that the legal name of one Of
its chik tributary cities is pitts
burgh," and has given orders to add
the "h" to the name when the road
has occasion to print it. On hotel reg
listers the name is usually written
pts" or "Ptsg." There seems to be
an opening here for a poet to point
out that the drummer writes no final
'h," but he gets there all the same,
which is, after all, the chief function
OF the railroad.-Harper's Weekly.

Columbia, s. c.. Special.-The week
ending s a. m. April 18th, averaged
slightly cooler than usual but the de-
partures from normal were small until
the 18th when the temperature fell
rapidly and to the morning Of the 18th
when it was below freezing over the
central and western parts of the
State, with killing frosts as far east
ward as Williamsburg county and
heavy frosts along the coast. There
are as yet no reports available as to
the extent and severity of the damage
caused by the frost except in the vi
cinity of Columbia where practical
ly all garden truck, corn and other
young crops were killed. The damage
was likely more serious to the west
ward where the temperature was low
er. There are no reports available
as to the effects of the frost on fruit,
which up to this time was in a very
promising condition, except in parts OF
the extreme northwestern counties
where some was killed by the frost OF
the 7th. The precipitation was gener-
81 during the week, and was eXces-
sive in, portions Of the central, western
and extreme northwestern counties.
Scattered localities had hail on the
9Th and 18th. The rainfall ranged
from less than one to over four inches.
greatly delaying operations in the
western half of the State and parts
of the eastern. A a rule the rainfall
was needed and proved beneficial to
grain crops, garden and truck.
Corn planting was continued
over the western counties, but
made slow progress. In the eastern
counties replanting is under way, and
most of the early corn is up to fair
to good stands, and some has received
Its first cultivation. Cut worms did
much damage in places.
Preparation Of lands for cotton is
nearly finished over the eastern coun-
ties, and made some progress over
the western ones. Planting Is near.
Ing completion in a few localities, but
generally is less than half finished and
was delayed by the wet soil in the
central and western counties. Some
cotton is up to stands. In the greater
portion of the State it is probable that
