Roofs hall.

Laurens Yeggman's Pal.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 14.-A pro-
fessional safeblower, giving his name
as John Simpson, of Curtain Bay, Bal
timore, was arrested this morning at
o'clock, while in the act of blowing
the safe in the store of Chas. II. Bur
nett, in the heart of the business dis
trict. Policeman Ammos, in walking
his beat, heard noise in the store
and finding the door unlocked crept
in and was directly over the safeblow-
or before the latte, was aware of his
presence. Scattered about the yegg-
man on the floor were nitroglycerine,
saws, chisels, fuses, a revolver, and
all implements carried by professional
burglars. The man offered no resist
ance.
Simpson made a confession at police
headquarters, saying that he had been
operating for some time in Jackson
vile, and was a pal of Charley Silas,
the yeggman who as killed by the
policeman at Laurens, 8. G. Simpson
said he would have killed the police
man this morning, but he thought
there was more than one of them.

Making National Reputatios.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Courier SAYS:

AAO w 1oAAh6o ooAA WA
the News and Courier says:
Representative Lever is making a
national reputation for himself and
the 7th South Carolina district. A
few days ago he made a telling speech
on the subject of the referee board in
connection with the operation of the
pure food law. Demands for copies
of his speech have reached him from
almost every part of the United States,
and all the big Western newspapers
played up the speech in their most
vivid colors, carrying broad headlines
and making note of it in their edito-
rial columns.
1t is probable that Mr.. Lever may
have something further to say on the
subject in the near future. He touch
ed, however, magazine when he got
to the food manufacturers, and if pres
ent rumors count for anything, more
interesting events are to happen soon.

ATs, &art6a u. WeeC2e oe9o.
All Lexington was grieved on Sat-
urday when 1t became known that
Mrs. Martha @. keetze, widow Of the
late John n. Mestze and one of the
most highly esteemed women Of this
town, was dead.
Mrs. Meetae's father was Jacob
Hammer and her mother was a Miss
Dent. She was born on the 9Th Of
January, 1884, and was little more
than Is years Of age. She was mar
ried to John 81. Aeetze on the 9Th Of
January, 1852. For more than so
years they lived happily together,
having celebrated their golden we'd
ding about year previous to the hus-
bands death six years ago. To this
nnion fifteen children we're born.
many of whom now have "silver
threads among the gold," as a re-
minder that they, too, are nearing
life's sunset. The following sons and
daughters survive: VIM. B. Meetze,
of CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ca; Thomas P.
Meetze, a prominent merchant and
influential citizens of Lexington; j..
B. Rhude Meetze, successful young
business man of Columbia; Mrs. Jno.
Wilson Butler, of Lexington; Mrs.
Jules A. Krentzlen, of Washington;
Mrs. Chas. B. Harman, of Augusta; !;
Mrs. Lila Hendrix and Mrs. W. H.
Wolfe, of Columia, and Mrs. Frank
George, of Lexington. Mrs. Meetze
is survived by one sister only-Mrs.
George Martin Caughman of near this
town. .......
Mrs. Meetze was most estimable
woman and team truthfully be said of
her "that none knew her but to love
her. None ever entered her home
without warm welcome nor left
without tbs warmth of genuine hos.
pitality, so characteristic of the peo-
pie of her ancestry. Though an in
valid for more than two years, dis
ease did not destroy the charm Of a
kind indulgent disposition. nor old
age diminish her unsel1sh solicitude
for her friends and loved ones. Ad-
herring to the faith of her fathers, she
united with the Lutheran church in
early life and loved to attend its SER
vices when health permitted.
AS the death dew gathered on her
marble brow, around her bedside
gathered her "boys" and "girls''-
always boys and girls to her, though
now grown to mature years with
boys and girls around their own fire
sides. The life so long interviewer
with theirs, with fearful eyes they
watched as it, slowly but surely
passed over. The boys and girls that
gathered about the bedside of this
dying mother and so bravely fought
the Death Angel, long ago passed out
from the home circle. Business cares
and their own home circles have en-
croached upon their time, may have
robbed mother of their companion
ship, but she was eyer just the same;
rejoicing in their successes and griev-
ing at their misfortunes.
Her remains were laid to rest in St.
Stephens cemetery on Sunday after
noon, the last sad rites being con-
Quoted from the church by the Rev.
O. A. Freed, OF Columbia. The i'm
mense throng that crowded the build
ing spoke in no uncertain measure to
the high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held.
the following gentlemen, lifelong
friends of the deceased, acted as pail
bearers: w. P. Roof, the Hon. Geo.

Civil Court.

The first case tried in the civil court
last week was that of Henry Kunkle
Of Lexington, against the Western
Union Telegraph Co. This was an
action for 5000, q mental anguish
suit, for the alleged non-deivery OF q
telegram. After hearing the plain
tff's case Judge Dantzler granted q
non-suit. Col. J. Brooks Wingard
represented the plaintiff and Col. P.
H. Nelson Of Columbia, the defend
ant.

turned a verdict in favor of the plain
tiff for $16,6OO This was perhaps the
largest verdict ever rendered against
a corporation in this county and
among the largest in the State for
personal injuries. This was the Sec
ond trial Of this case, the first jury
having failed to reach a verdict, and
it is generally hoped that it is at an
end far as this county is concerned.
Mr.. Best, Rosse's leading attorney,
managed the case throughout in a
very admirable manner, which stamps
him as one of the brainiest young
lawyers in the State.
On Friday the trial of the case of
Haskell Ghaner, 13-year-old negro
boy, against the Leaphart Lumber
Co., was begun. This was suit for
$40, 900 for personal injuries alleged to
have been received while the plaintiff
was in the employ of the company.
The case was concluded on Saturday
when the jury brought in verdict in
favorof the plaintiff for 1000. Gen.
