Conyers, Ga. Sept. 15 —Our qn;
et little city is 1o day an angry
and indignant people, for one of
the i oet wanton pieces of vandal
iaiu wax perpet rated nere last
night that was ever knov n. and is
without'a pari del in the history
oj our eounty.
While our people were wrapped
>n slumber last nigh', acme fiends
in human shape, visited our eeme
tery the ‘iCily of the Dead”—and
there were foul hands laid waist
our beautiful cemetery. In tlie
spuare of Mr. T. (J. Posey, they
roke the slab at the head of his
fa'hei's grave and the one at the
foot of the grave of his mother: in
W I Hudson's section they broke
the slab at the head of his daugh
ter's grave, and tore off the dove
on tfie stone on the grave of G J
Hudson's girl. At B J J/arbu. t's
father’s grave the head slab was
broken.
The shaft on the grave of Jus
pei wife was torn up
scattered about, a | ieceof it being
throu 'h a window of a negro cab
iu near at baud. The shaft on
the grave of J W Bell’s wife was
the one on the grave o 7 Mrs.
Dave 1* Smith, of Texts.
TLe whole town it at work, at d

When dark came, over fine hun

clock deputy Marshal Wallace

MURDER IN HARRIS
Columbus. Ga., Ne >t 1(». An
o tier murder Ims been added to
the list in Harris county by the
death of Tillman Sued. colored
from wounds inflicted by his w.fe
last week, and /lie murderess was
safe'y lodged in Hamilton jail yes
terday. Tillman was a steady
.young fellow who farmed near
" aver'y Hull. About twelve
1 months ago while viai/ingthis city
he became infatuated wi/h a dus
ky cyprian; married her and car
ried her back wi/lt him to his cab
in in the quiet contit.es9 of Waver*
ly //all. For a time all was wet!
and Tillman and his bride iu /hen'
domestic felicity were ti e envy i
of their neighbors, but a few
mouths ago the serenity of this
rural home was upset by the en
trance es the green eyed monsttr
who found a resting place in Till
man's breast. H is wife exhibited
a j>reference for die company of
other men, and ftcquenily aber
ration! was ihe result, About t*/o
weeks ag > .hey quarried, ar.d Till
man gave her a severe thrashing.
She left home, swearing vengance
Ou Monday of lust week lie was en
gaged in cutting hay for a neigh
bor. and at. dinner time he lay
down in a corner ol the fence to
rest and dropped oft' to sleep ll's
first intimation of danger was a
cut that took one eye oft'. This
was followed by another that
crossed me of is i<i s. and ,s
he rcse he kuilc wuo dtiven to
tlie hilt in his breast and the
blade broken oft', leaving the ban
die in the band of his infuriated
wife who had crept np on him
while asleep to execute her hor
rible threat. llleeding from his
every wound he finally reached
tlie store of Mr. .1 H Pitts, where
his wounds were dressed by Dr.
Stanford, nud i/ was thought he
would get well. The woman had
u preliminary trial next .lay ami
was placed under boi>d to answer
the charge of assault with intent
to murder at 'he next term of the
superior court.
Yestetilay morning Tillman
died and his wife was rearrested
and now rest behind the bars.
The death yesterday of Miss
Alice .V/cCiban, says a Cadiz,Ohio
special of Sept ‘2. discloses a
strange and sad affair. The girl,
who wi s young, intelligent and a
great favorite, but exceedingly
,nervious, died after an illness of
thirty six hours, during the whole
time she was unconscious, three
men beioy required to bold her at
times. Miss McCiban was engag
ed to a young gentleman named
Nash, a resident of the neighbor
hood, and a highly esteemed gen'
glemau. Sutorday evening he
called on Miss McCiban and re
mained some time. V\ hen taking
nie departure, in jest, 1 e said to
her that he ba 1 concluded to sever
their relations, and (hat there
could be nothing bet ween ihem
but frieudship. The girl was so
affected that she we • t into spasms
which con tiuutd until her death.
Every effort was made to real ore
her to consciousness, unavailing
ly. Nash, who was fmn'ic with
grief, was constantly in vlten
dance, but bis piesence had no
effect upon ihe young lady. It is
feared he will become insane.

Court. (Before.fudge Estes.)
Jackson, C, J.—l Au farm is
presciilied for an application sot
an exemption of persomy under
j2O 40 et seq. of the I 'ode, and it
is not necessary to set out it the
appiier/ion that the applicant is a
debtor. 13 oft. 302
(a ) The exemption now found
in >'2040 et seq of the Code origi
nated in the act of 1822 and has
now become a part of the constitn
tion of /877.
2. Wlii/e an exemption set
apart under $2040 et seq. of the
Code i- for lilt use of the wife »ud
children of the debtor, aud for a
conversion of such property they
might have brought an action, the
husband and father might also
sue.
(a.) If it were necessary for
him to bring the suit fort loir use,
the defect was amendable and was
cured by verdict. G 4 ua. 747; (15
Ind., 2t!4.
3. Where certain poisons lev
ied an attachment, ou corn which
had been set apart as an exemp
tien under j 2040 et seq. of llm
Code, without any oath to subject
it as for purchase money, seized
it, carried into another country
and put into their crib; and where
they afterwards obtained judge
meat, had execution issued and
levied upon it, and bough;, it them
selves, no demand and refusal was
necessary in order to recover
against them in trover. 2m. llti
4(5 Id, 230,
4. Where thu applicant foi an
exemtion is the father, it is not
necessary to allonge that the prop
erty is his. 07 oa, GOO; 08 Id 480,
5. The entire proceedings of
the deleudents ir trover lo oossoss
themselves of the corn were ille
gal and tortious, and a verdict
agaihst them for its value was
right.
(a.) It appearing that the ver
diet gave more than the value of
the corn per hush si, proved, the
the excess above that value (seven
ly cents per bushel) is direc/ed to
he written off.
0. The judge of the superior
court having notified cou oil in
anting that he would hear die
motion for new trial on die 17tii
instead of the 15th of the mouth
uule?s one or both of tliem au
swersd /hat it was objee ionable,
an Ino answer having been le
ceived, and both lining present on

Lie writ of error on that ground
will lie denied.
Judgement affirmed with diroe

Wages. School tcachor.
lb. am oito. J l. It nowhere ap
pears that the debt sought to be
exempted from garnishment in
this ease was the daily, weekly or
montßlv wages of delcndnnl. The
fact that he was a school uadn r
and that these sums are due him
as such teucliei. does not of itself
exempt these dabts.
2. A judgment in favor of a wib)
for temporary alimony stands on
a peculiar footing, and while debts
due her husband might lie exempt
from garnishment, as to other
elaiir s, we do not think they would
be as lo this.
The object of such exemption
being to piovide a support for the
laborer ami his family, that object
might be defeated by allowing the
exemption against inch a ciaim;
and besides,defendant might have
been imprisoned for failure io com
ply with the judgment for alimo
ny, and thereby totally deprived
of all opportunity to labor to sup
port himself, when the wbo'e ob
ject of the exemp'iou would have
ceased.
Judgment affirmed.
