The three negroes, Stephen Abrahams,
Jerry Snead and Wm. Booth, who mur
dered Mrs. O. 0. Chambliss in Stewart
county, Friday morning, about or just be
fore daylight were oanght a few hours
afterward. Stephen was detected by the
PECULIARITY OT A TRACK,
which waa found near the front gate of
Mr. 0's. yard. There was an imprint of a
string about the middle of the traok,
whioh waa immediately recognized as this
negro's. He lived with Mr. ThomaB
Dent about two hundred yards off and a
party of gentlemen arrested him imme
diately, and he made a ooufes-tiou unhesi
tatingly and implioited the others who
were soon arrested.
ABOUT THE TIME OT THE MURDER,
When Mr. Chambliss disoovered that
his fenoe was burning, whioh was set on
fire by these negroes, be sent a negro boy
after Wm. Booth, living on the premises,
to help him stop the flumes. When the
boy reaohed William’s cabin, he disoover
ed two negroes therein with him, all throe
being dressed. Tbe boy delivered the
message, and William told him that he
would go to Mr. Chambliss’ aid “in a
minute. ’’ Of this, the boy advised Mr.
0., and the latter ordered him to the
house to stay with his (O'a) wife. Tbe boy
obeyed, and on entering the dwelling
found Mrs. Chambliss lying dead upon
the floor with the right eyo “blown out’’
by a gun and tho left one hanging upon
her oheek. The boy returned immediate
ly and told Mr. 0. what be had seen,
when he went hurriedly to the mangled
body !
Two of the negroes, nfter committing
the bloody deed, went to assist Mr. 0. at
the lire.
THE CONFESSION.
Stephen Abrahams, who was arrested
flrst, said that Jerry Snead and William
Booth planned the robbery. All of them
slept in the cabin of William, who was
employed by Mr. 0., on the night of the
murder. He said Jerry did tbe shooting,
and that be and William watohed until
Mr. ObambliBs left the house. The mein
object in entering the house was to get
money. He was to have tbe money and
the other two tbe olothing. He didn't
atate whether Mrs. 0. resisted them ; how
ever, the shooting was done with the gun
of Mr. C. The other negroes would
make no confession. Jerry only said that
he felt very badly when he saw “tbe men”
going after him while be was at work iu
the Held.
Although Stephen said that Jerry did
the shooting, yet it is thought by the
oommunity that he held the viotim while
another negro committed the deed, as he
was tbe only one who had blood on his
olothes.
INCIDENTS OF THE HANDING!.
The hanging of these negroes took
place Friday evening in a few paoos of
Mr. O.’s front yard. Between three and
five hundred people were present, and a
majority of them were negroes. The ne
groes were mad to burn the fiends, and
insisted on making a “stake” for the pur
pose, but the whites persuaded them not
to do so, and suggested liauging. It was
theu’put to a vote as to whether they
should be hanged, by requesting the yeas
to form a line and every soul present
stepped into it. Two forked trees were
then out down and made iuto posts aud
sunk iu the ground. Upon them was
placed a pole horizontally.
A cotton rope was used. It was first
plaoed around Stephen’s neok and ho was
made to stand in a buggy under the gal
lows. He was blindfolded, the signal
was given, the buggy was jerked from
under him, he fell and the rope broke.
Thia did not do the work aud Stephen
said, “Dog'on snob a rope, get a good
one. ” Some one suggested a traoe ohain
anil the *ooundrel added, “yes, a strong
one too." While they were waiting for the
ohain to be gotton noolored man askedSte.
pben how be felt and he replied, “I'm still
kioking." The other two oriminals look
ed on in perfeatand insolent indifferenoe.
They were put to death, after the ohain
had dons tbe work for Stepheu, one at a
time.
The negroes refused to bury these bru
tal oreatures, and carried them not far
off, threw them into an old field and al
lowed them to remain their until late the
next afternoon, before they could be per
suaded by the white people to bury
them.
DETECTIVE I.Rl. PALMER,
of this oity, wea employed to work up the
ease, but the murderers were oaught and
banged before he reaohed that communi
ty. He describes the deed aa the most
horrible that he has ever heard of, and
aaya that the people were aotnelly furious
and oould not have been controlled.
THE INTERMENT OF MRS. CHAMBLISS
The remains were interred Saturday af
ternoon at Jamestown, and an immouse
crowd followed them to the grave. She
waa a member of the Antiooh Grange
and thia and the Jamestown Grange turn
ed out to the funeral.

SKETCH OF JOHN W.
John. W. Malone, the man who caused
the seizure of the steamer Julia, is said
to be a lawyer, hailing from Quincy. He
commenced a suit against tbe Central
Railroad Oompany for damages, caused
by their negleot in furnishing him trans
portation, as be professes they agreed to
do. John W. is one of tbe ablest lawyers
in the State of Florida; a man whose
servioes are very valuable, aud how he
can spare time to proaeoute his olaim
against the Central Railroad we cannot
tell. If he does not mind, his ollenta will
be claiming damages from him. If his
time is so valuable os to be worth $5,000
for a few days, what must be tbe loss if
he has to trot to Apalaohioola halts dozen
oourts to attend his suit. This John W.
is no doubt a truly good man as well sb a
great man, and we don't think he, of bis
own aooord, oommenoed the suit. The
wicked denizens of tbe saintly Apalaohi
oola put up tbe job and poor Malone is
only a viotim.
Perhaps the poor fellow saw another
week in Apalaohioola before him and the
thought was too muoh for bis brain, over
crowded as it no doubt is with great
learning. Another week iu suoh a place
was cheap at $5,000, so thought this
truly good and learned man, and as there
wan uo one in the whole county of Frank
lin likely to possess suoh a trifle ; he by
the advioe and oonsent of his lovely com
panions thought he would have a better
showing by attacking a Georgia corpora
tion. Now we don't oorjplain at John
W'h. intentions. Five thousand dollars
is a pile of money in Florida, and no
doubt John W’s. aiders and abetters in
Apalachicola counselled him to do as he
did ; but we do oomplain of John W.'a
way of doing things. We grieve to see
that he allowed his wioked advisers to
persuade him to cause the seizure of a
steamer having on board a lot of pleasure
seekers, just started on a two weeks
oruise. John W. must have known that
every week the Oentral Railroad
has a steamer in Florida, whioh could be
seized withoutiuconvenienoinganyone but
the owners, but poor Johu W. was weak
and gave way to hia advisers. They oame
nobly forward and signed hia bond aud
were happy in the thought that they would
have the steamer tied up for a week and
forty Georgia gentlemen would be turned
loose in their town to be preyed upon,but
how sadly were these poor simple oreat
ures disappointed. Tbe master of the
“Julia,” Oaptain George H. Whitesides,
oould not make a bond in the town, but
the Sheriff kindly took a bond, signed by
R. B. Baker, of Apalaohioola, and three
gentlemen of Columbus, aud this saintly
town did not have the pleasure and profit
of selling their shells, sponges, trinkets,
&o. How sad they must feel. They saw
the coveted prize within ^their grasp, and
just as they were taking hold it vanished,
and poor, forlorn Apalaohioola, has to go
on short rations as heretofore.
APALAOHIOOLA NOW AND WHAT IS WAS.
Having fixed np the Malone matter and
repaired tbe pumps, we left early Friday
morning (the 18th) for East Pan, glad to
leave such a town, where tbe population,
with but few exceptions, do ell in their
power to make a stranger dissatisfied.
Apalaohioola was onoe one of tbe pleas
antest places in tbe South; but a wonder
ful change from other days hasooourred.
The people are poor, very poor, aud de
light in their poverty. When we land
here we are reminded of Niagara Falls,
On all sides you are beset by people who
are auxions to Bell some trifle, for five
times its value. If you should want any
thing that these people ehanoe to have,
woe be unto you, if yon fail to make a"
bargain, for when the bill oomea in, it is
likely to bo five times greater than your
wildest dream. The annual trip of the
“Snappers" is a godsend to these people
yet they vie with eaoh other in annoying
ns and making matters unpleasant.
MODESTY OF MAYOR NXQOER-MYER.
Many of the SnappeYs have fishing
snits, made of colored flannel. These
suits are a shirt aud pants’. The pants
vary in oat from ordinary pantB only in
beiDg made to tie arouDd tbe ankle; yet
tbe modesty of this saintly town was so
shocked, that the Mayor, a man named
Nigger-myer, notified us that he would
oause the arrest of anyone who
was seen on the street, so attired. This
puritanical Mayor, no donbt, thought be
would gather iu a few dollars by fines,
but wo disappointed him. While at the
wharf a Snapper fired off his gun. There
was no danger in doing so, yet notice Was
given that “it was agin the law of the
town.” Poor Apalaohioola, how fallen in
yonr greatness 1 It is sad to remember
you a few years ago and to tee you now.
It is sad to bring to memory her hospita
ble people of yore, greetiog you with
open hands, bearing gifts ud to see the
Apalaehieolians of to-day bearing down
on you, seeking who they may devour.
HONORABLE EXCEPTIONS.
There are some honorable exceptions
arnoDg theae people, ladies and gentle
men, whom it is a pleasure to meet, and
who are ever ready to make the visit of
stranger pleasant and agreeable. To
theae we are grateful for many kindnesses
and the leoolleotion of them, will ever be
a green spot in our memory.
PROPOSED BEVENQE.
Our veteran “Snapper” has sworn ven-
ganoe against the town and aaya be will
devote the next year to gather
ing a certain wall known bug
whose obaraoteristio movement ia to
work beokward, and he hopea to have a
sufficient quantity on hand by the next
trip to enable him to have the town
“rolled into tbe tee." We fear our “Vet
eran” will fall in his laudable undertak
ing. The job is too big for the supply of
bugs thia oountry could supply.

town we made for Orooked river, a small
stream that empties into the eastern end
of Ihe bay. We made the trip without
delay. We anchored about four miles up
the stream aud launched our fishing
boats. Trout and bream were found in
abundance, and the Snappers had an en
joyable time.
TREATMENT OF THE INFANTS.
Occasionally there is an infant Snap,
per that don’t know how or where to fish,
and failing of Buooess, get disgusted and
want to go back to the steamer. Fre
quently one of theae “infants" get in a
boat with a party who don’t want to
‘give it np so." While our boat was go
ing up the stream, we met a boat return
ing, with two “infants” in it. Inquiring
what was the matter?” we found that
one of them was disgusted with ill-luck
and wanted to go back, and was making
the other aooumpany him. Wishing to
punish the disgusted infant we suggested
that he be put ashore and walk across to
tbe steamer, whioh oould be seen a few
huudted yards off. Our suggestion was
adopted and ashore he went. We con
tinued fishing for an hour, then returned
to the steamer. We washed, eat a lunoh
and had seated ourselves to anjoy our
pipe, when we were disturbed by the “in
fant” who had been put ashore. He was
sad looking objeot. His olothing were
wet and maddy; his pants torn nearly
from his body; faoe, hands and legs torn
by briers and brambles.
Hello, Matt.'”eaid we, looking.sympa-
thiziogly at him. “Got back?”
“Got baok! h—I! I reckon I have, but
didn’t think I would.”
“Had a rough time, did you?” said
e.
“Rough is no word for it. When I was
put ashore I saw the steamer, os I thought,
few hundred yards from me,
and I started for her, but
soon found myself buried
in the rushes and in water np to my waist
but I didn't mind that, I went through;
when I got aoross, I found I was no near
er the steamer. I had only gone aoross a
bend. I then tried to follow the river, bnt
I found I couldn’t do it. The undergrowth
was so thick I oould make no head way.
took the marsh again, but was worn and
tired, and every ten steps I would fall and
it did look like that every brier in forty
feet of me, would rise up and give me a
stick. I yelled as loud as my voioe would
permit, but I became eo exhausted that I
could not yell. But I kept moving, until
got near the Bteamer, when I saw
battoan, and they took me in. I think it
was a put up job. I am not iu a condition
for revenge now. But there is some
games I am good at, and if I ever get any
of you fellows in my power, you can ex-
peot no mercy. ”
This “Infant” never left the steamer
afterwards. He was satisfied with catching
a few oats and drinking river water with
ice in it.
tison’s harbor.
We remained in Orooked river until
two o’oiook P. M. Saturday, when we
steamed up and made for Tyson’s Har
bor, where we anohored preparatory to
going o:)t snapping Sunday morning.
Here we had excellent surf bathing. But
the musketoes were very annoying. Some
four hundred thousand millions made
their appearanoe just after dark, aud it
was almost impossible to get a wink of
sleep. We have been a Snapper for many
years, but have never been annoyed by
these blood thirsty inBeotB before, but to
get a safe harbor we lay near a marsh.
We won’t do so again. Grand Pa.
Faster Railroad Time.—There was a
meeting of railroad officials in Augusta,
Ga., a few days ago for the purpose of
reducing the time from New Orleans,
Macon and Augusta to New York. It is
understood that the time will be shorten
ed four hours. This will bring the South
western train into Oolumbus about two
o’olook. The new time table it is thought
will go into effeot early next month.
