Dealii of Mr. John P. Sullivan.
Mr. John P. Sullivan, ouo ot tho
oldest and moat highly esteemed citi
'.?1)8 of the city, died at 1 o'clock
Saturday night. He had oeeu ill only
a few da>a. He was stricken with
pneumonia, and this attack, combined
!th a trouble of the heart, hastened
'eath.
Sullivan was born ?:{years ago
ner Township, and was u ?on of
*o Kelley .Sullivan. When the
me on ho joined the Palmetto
.en and went to the front. He
ti.ed throughout the entire four
'ears and made a faithful and brave
soldier. He became a neigeant of Iii?
company before the elo.se of tin; war.
After the surrender Mr. Sullivan re
turned to Anderson and engaged in
the mercantile business under the name
ot .J. I\ Sullivan vV Co. This firm
continued in successful operation until
a few years ago when ho retired from
business.
Mr. Sullivan was a man of the high
est integrity, always upright and pin
cere in all hi* dealings, lie was mar
ried to Miss Lizzie Vnndiver, and she,
with the following children, survives
him: Misses Mary and Meta Sullivan
and Kobert and Harold Sullivan. A
Hon, J. A. Sullivan, died about two
years ago.
The tuneral services were held Mon
day afternoon at the family residence,
being conducted by Rev. J. I>. Chap
man, I). I)., tho pastor of the deceased.
The interment took place immediately
afterwards in Silver Brook cemetery.
Tragic Suicide of J. K. Breazeale.
Bel ton, S. C, Jan. IT.?With a rope
about the neck, the cold, lifeless body
of J. K. Brenzeale was found uium' 2
o'clock yesterday in a barn in the rear
of his residence at Helton. The ver
dict of the coroner's jury, which was
summoned later in the evening, de
clared that tho man took his own life.
Mr. Breazeale had been in ill health
for some time. His disease had affect
ed his mind to such tin extent that he
became despondent und brooded con
tinually over his troubles, it is sun
posed, iu fact, there can bo no doubt
that in u moment of abject melan
cholia he decided to end his life und
tuit upon the plan of death by strangu
lation. ; ,
Mr. Breazeale left the houso about
11 o'clock in the morning, and not see
tug him at dinner. Mrs. Breazeale be
came uiicatty ami liH^nn n. search for !
her husband. She told neighbors of '
her tears and others joined iu tho
?eurch. After several hours of nux
iety, lier worst fears were realized
when some of tho children, who wore
assisting in the search, came upon Mr.
Brenzeale's body suspended ou a rope,
one end of which wus li ved in a noose
about his neck and the other tied to
a beam in tho roof of the building.
It is supposed that Mr. Breazeale ilrst
placed the rope about his neck, then
climbed up to the rafters, where he
made the other end secure. He then
jumped from the timber and in a few
moments all was over. Life was ex
tinct. The funeral will take place in
Helton this afternoon, and the inter
ment will be in the cemetery. Besides
his wife, Mr. Breazeale leaves three
children, all of whom are grown, one
of them a sou, being engaged in busi
ness in Texas. He was about 55 years
of age, and thoroughly respected by
?11 who knew him. He leaves a large
number of relatives, many of whom
are in 3elton and Anderson County.
Mr. Brezeale married a daughter of the
late Alfred Campbell.
Bold Robbery at Wiliiaraston.
'Williamston. January 18.?A bold
and daring robbery occurred right in
the heart of the town between 12 and 1
o'clock this morning when the post
office building was entered through
the front window and the safe contain -
ing money, stamps and valuable paprra
belonging to B. F. Russell, postmas
ter, waB blown to pieces by some ex
plosive and robbed of its contents.
About $50 in cash and $75 wv.ch of
stamps was secured by the robbers.
However, they overlooked $51 in bills
and this amount waa fonnd in the de
bris on the floor of the office this morn
ing. JB. M. Ljftsdv-. cashier of the
Bank of Willi? m ?fcon, who rooms
across the street within fifty yards of
the scene of the robbery, was awaken
ed by the explosion and upon hearing
it he went to the front piazza, opened
the door aud stepped outside of his
room, when he heard a voice at the
postoffice building calling the name
"Jim, Jim, come on," in very exoiting
tones, when a moment later three men
came hurriedly from the building and
rushed down the Southern Railway
from town.
Soon afterwards blood honnds were
brought over from Pelzer and every*
thing posaibIg was done to strike a
trail, ont without snccesB, and the
robbery seems as much a mystery as
it commited by a power of magic
A hand hammer, evidently the
property of some neighboring black
smith and an old piece of steel buggy
spring were found in the postoffloe
this morning, and it was with these
tools that the combination of the
door of the sa'ie waa broken off, when
the explosives were applied to the
opening with perfect success.
This is the third case of robbery in
exactly the same manner in William
eton during the past few years, and
the guilty parties in neither case have
ever been brought to justice. The
Eostoffice authorities at Washington
ave been notified and expert deteo
tives may rnn these scoundrels in vory

Postoffice Robbers Arreited.
'Columbia, Jan. -15 ?Christopher, tho
brother of Rudolph Habens, both ot
whom the Federal Grand Jury here
yesterday indicted in two caseB of
postoffice robbery in this State, was
arrested in Charleston today deputies
leaving here last night for that pur
pose. Rudolph was arrested in Charles
ton several weeks ago. but is out on a
bond of $5,000. Judge lirawley has
tixtd the bond in each of the twocaaea
against Rudolph at $2,500. so that he
will likely nut be bothered about his
liberty until the Charleston term of
court in April, when it is expected
that he and his brother will be tried
for conspiracy and breaking into and
stealing from two postoffioes in thia
State. ThH Hubens are Charleston
German grocers,, who went there from
Watballa. to widen toon they irutni
?rared irow. the- old conutry.. Tfcey
jgot into bail company, it la thought,
through their connection with the old
Star Exposition theatre, where thoy
'became intimately associated with
eorao swift citizens, both male and fe
- anale. By tho time the case' is ready
for trial in Charleston, it is likely that
n number of other arrests will have
, been made. *

Death of a Noble Young Man.
On the night of December HI, as tho
old year wan going out nud the new
one coming in, the sweet and gentle
spirit of Warren, tho second son of
Mr. Moses Hall, took its liight to the
haven of rest. Only a few weeks did
God, in His all-wise providence, allow
him to suffer before fie sent the death
angel to bid him leave this world of
borrow and come to the mansion above,
which had been prepared for him.
God needed one more sweet llower to
bloom in Heaven, but how ead and
lonely their home and hearts are with
out him, how they miss his smiling
face and soft footsteps. Only three
weeks ago he and bis younger brother
left for Safford, Arizona, searching for
health, but little did his friends and
loved ones think so aoon would his
body be brought back for burial. Hut
God kuoweth whb.Ua best. Mr. Hall's
body reached the city on Saturday, the
7th, and was cuiiied to Eureka Church
tor interment, i)?. a. I?. Chapman
conducting the survie*;? with a large
number attending.
Ho leaves a lather, two brothers and
four sisters to cher m h his memory, be
sides a host of friends and relatives.
God help tho family to aoy, "It is the
Lord's way, His will bo done," for God
knoweth and do'eth what is best for
them that lo\o thb Lord.
Wo can say he is sleeping, sweetly
sleeping
Ina new-made grave today,
We are weeping, sadly weeping
For a dear one gone away,
Ono by one the Lord will call us
As our labors here are done,
And then, as wo cross the river,
We may meet Him one by one.
Mr. Hall was a kind and gentle
Christian, young man and all who
knew him, loved him and sorry to
learn of his sad death, but we will
strive to meet him up in heaven.
