England's Royal House
THE bar sinister defacing the escutcheon of the
Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, IS associ-
ated with of the most romantic mysteries affect
ing the succession of the royal house of England,
mystery that had curious and little known epilogue
during the reign of Queen Victoria, not long before
the death of her husband the late Prince Consort
The Duke who is one of the greatest mobiles of the
British Empire is descended the distaf side from
Sir Walter Scott Buccleuch, whose abortive attempt
rescue James " from the prisonlike control of the
Earl of Angus forms the theme Of Sir Walter Scotts
The Lay of the Last Minstrel"
1t was his descendant Anne, Countess of Buc
cleuch in her right and the greatest heress of
her time, who married King Charles son by Lucy
Waters. This son at the time bore the title of Duke
of Monmouth; but his marriage he assumed his
wifes patronymic of Scott and was created Duke of
Bucceuch The Duchess survived her husbands
death on the scaffold (he condemned for high
treason in heading abortive insurrection against
his uncle King James H. for nearly forty years, and
on her death her grandson Francis Scott succeeded
second Duke of Bucceuch.
One of the reasons that led the Duke of Monmouth
and Buccleuch to head the rebellion against his uncle
was that he was convinced that his mother, Lucy
Waters had been lawfully married to King Charles,
and that he, the Duke therefore, his fathers
legitimate offspring instead of his natural son. and

birth to the throne Of Serva which he occupied with
much ignominy The evidence is contained in

peror William and issued by the Royal and Imperial
Society of Geneaogy, the name of the president of
the society. Count Oynhausen, chief of the Heradic
Department of the Empire and Grand Master of the
court of Berlin, figuring the title page. The work
is accepted by all courts of Europe as standard
authority questions relating to the geneaogy of
reigning houses.

died OE The TRAIN.
Mrs. Elizabeth Singietary Passes Away
Going from Lake City to Florence.

Mrs Elizabeth Singletary died
on the train from Lake City here
Monday evening.
Mrs Singletary had been in
bad health for some time, and it
was thought that if she would
come up here for a while she
would improve. Her family and
physician there, agreed to her
undertaking the trip, but it was
too much for her and she died
from heart failure before the
train reached Florence. Her
sister, Miss Julia Schouboe, was
with her and Superintendent
Porter of Palmetto happened to
be on the train at the time and
they rendered every aid that
they could to the sufferer, tele-
graphing DR. Gregg, the compa'
ny's physician,to meet he train
to care for a very i'll lady, for
she was not dead then. She died
as the train was within five or
six miles of Florence.
The news of her death was
severe shock to the friends and
neighbors, who made ready to
receive the body at the family
home.
Mrs Singletary was the eldest
daughter OF the late Frederick
L Schouboe, a former we'll known
citizen of Charleston and Flor
ence, a veteran of the Mexican
as we'll as the Confederate war.
She came here with her father
to live about 1880, her mother
and husband having both died,
and her brother, Capt j E Schou-
Doe, haying made Florence his
home. She had been married in
Charleston to Samuel Mcpherson
Singletary of Williamsburg
county and lived in that county
some time. Two children were
born of this marriage, Mr. Fred
SlngletarY, who is now employed
in the tobacco warehouse busi-
ness in Lake City, and Mrs Ida
Brunson, wife of Mr. J Ellis Brun-
son formerly of this city.
The funeral will be held from
the residence this (Tuesday) af-
ternoon at 5 O'Clock, and the in
terment at Mt Hope, where Miss
Sarah Schouboe, a younger sis
ter who died some years ago, is
buried.
Rev Harold Thomas, the pas
tor of the deceased lady and her
family, for they have all been
devoted Episcopalians, will con-
duct the funeral service.-For-
ence Times.

You can think yourself to the door
