dr., young man esteemed for his many
sterling qualities, and prominent mer-
chant of Williston, came to his death on
Friday afternoon, the Sd instant, at the
hands of a red-handed ASSASSIN. The
news of the dastardly crime has occas-
Toned great excitement; feeling, of
course, is intense, and unless there is a
decided change, there will, in all proba-
bility, be some hemp stretched. 1t is
almost certain that Mr.. Smith was killed
for the purpose of robbery, as his pock-
etbook and watch and chain were gone
when the body was found 1t is also
equally certain that the deed was the
work of negro. He met his death
while he was returning from his farm.

look after some work. The weapon used
was donble-barrel shotgun, both volleys
taking effect in the head, death resulting

Mill Village Swept by Fire.

The pretty village of Brookland, a
snberb of Columbia, was visited by a
most destructive fire last Saturday night
which swept away almost half of the
houses in the very center of the town.
1t was scene which appalled, and
fascinated. For three hours the flames
literally swept through the town, eating
their way from the principal business
houses to the Southern extremity The
fire was to be stopped only when there
WAS nothing To bc consumed. Half a
hundred houses, residences and stores
have been razed to the ground and the
household goods-the sole possessions
of many of the people-were scattered
in the woods and on the streets of the
town.
The fire started from the explosion of
the kcrOsino engine which ran the cleo
trio light plant for the little village 1t
was located in j. T.. Boyer's meat market.
There was no water with which to ex-
tinguish the flames until most of the
damage was done, when hose wagons
and steamer arrived from Columbia.
The strong wind made it almost impos-
sible to save anything in the path of the
fire. The total loss of the houses in the
mill village proper was estimated at S21,-
600, which is about half the entire loss.
The insurance has not been estimated.
