Commencement Exercises.
The 23rd commencement of Young
Female College opened Sunday.
A fine audience had gathered in the
chapel to hear the commencement ser
mon of Dr. Robert H. Harris, when
the hour for beginning arrived. The
Trustees of the institution,the ministers
of the various churches in the city,and
a few invited guests were on the stage.
Miss Emma Thompson at the organ,
Messrs James Watt, T. J. Ball, Mrs.
L. F. Thompson and Miss Fannie
Evans rendered the music for the oc
casion.
After the choir had.rendered Bene-
dictus Est as a voluntary. Rev. C. I.
LaRoche opened the services by read
ing that grand hymn, “Joy to the
World,” Rev. A. W. Clisby followed
in prayer.
Dr. Harris read the beautiful 19th
Psalm as a lesson.
The speaker took his text from Eze
kiel 1st chapter and 24th verse: “The
voice of the Almighty.”
The sermon was very rich in i
;ery and beautiful word pictures,
that completely captivated the audi
ence. The opening, “If I
voice,” was faultlessly rendered, and
made a deep* impression. The rever
end speaker traced the voice of the
Almighty, from the words that spoke
the world and man,the crowning glory
of God, into existence, through the
:yclc of the ages; Sinai and its tin
ders, the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, were spoken of in chaste
and beautiful language.
A beautiful tribute was paid to
woman, the glory of a glory.
It is not often that one hears such a
vivid iKirtrayal of the beautiful,
couched in such faultless diction, and
delivered with such magnetism and
oratorical effect.
At the conclusion of the sermon,
I)r. Harris gave some wholesome ad
vice to the young ladies of the grad
uating class, whom lie c muscled to be
true to the teachings of the Divine
Word and the instruction they bad
received during their school days.
WILL DEBILL ON THE SALLOWS.
Last Scenes of the Drama, Which
Began in Murder and Ended
at the Rope’s End.
The last chapter in the life of Will
Debill ended Friday, and the tragedy
that opened with a murderous ax
ended with the hangman’s rope.
The closing scenes were hid behind
the walls of the jail, and the curious
crowd that would have looked on the
dying gasp3 and struggles of the mur
derer were compelled to look on them
only in imagination.
This is wi3c. The maudlin curiosity
that prompts men and women to attend
public executions ought to be disap
pointed, and the demoralization.at
tending the gratification of this senti
ment averted.

The merchants arc not asked to

Dead.
We regret to announce the death of

Sunday night at the residence of his

Mr. Copeland was born and reared
Leon county, Fla., but had been
living in Thomasville some time. The
deceased wus in his 06th year. As a
citizen, htisband and father, in fact
all the various relations of life, Mr.
Copeland was a model. He was kind,
considerat. and charitable, doing un
to others as ho would have others do
unto him. Thomasville loses an es

Copeland.

;\ The Melon Crop.
Thu melon crop has begun to move
lively. The Tallahassee, which sail
ed from Savannah Saturday evening,
for New York, took out upwards of
8,000 melons. This is a heavy ship
ment for the season. The size of the
melons has been greatly reduced by
the dry weather, and the earlier
will be .‘jnall. As the curlier melons
come irio competition with the heav
iest southern peach crop ever known,
it is likely thut the price will he low.
The Pear Outlook.
low almost certain, barring the
accidents of storms, that the shipmi
LeCodle pears will be luily as large
this season as last. The heavy
peach crop of Georgia and
the Carolinas is not duplicated
in Maryland and Dela*
Those states only report something
like half a crop, and the probabilities
are that the prices obtained for pears
will be goad, as the southern peaches
will be outVf market before pear ship
ments begin*
Melon Movements.
The watermelon shipments were
good along the line between Thomas-
villo and Albanjl yesterday. Pelham

for by other shippers. There is a

HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
Some time last September there
came to Leb, a small station between
Thomasville and Cairo, a negro, Will
Debill, who found employment with
Mr. Ed Clay, who has a contract to
furnish wood for the railroad rack at
that place. Will was a most power
ful man, and this expertness with
axe, which was afterwards demon
strated with such dreadful results
made him a valuable hand in tli<
woods.
Will boarded with Walter Long
and bis wife, v,riffle he was at work at
Leb. It is not the proper place to
lift the veil that hides the sanctity of
home circle, but there is no ques
tion but that the green eyed monster,
jealousy, paved the way to the crime.
Whether Walter bad any reason to
aspect bis wife of unfaithfulness will
be known, or whether lie made
the threats against Will, which Will
the cause of his crime, is
equally a matter of doubt. But
whether they were made or not, they
bore the fatal fruit.
On the evening of December 12th
Walter was eating his supper -when
Will came in to join him at the even-
meal. Will says that Walter did
not speak to him, but looked sullen
and morose. Like a flash it came to
Will what he had heard that Walter
ha 1 threatened to do. He went out
and catching up an ax he hurried
back to the supper room. As lie
entered the door with the ax drawn,
Margaret, Walter’s wife, called out to
her husbaud to look out, that Will
is going to strike him with the ax.
The warning came too late. One
blow went crushing into Walter’s
skull, and another quickly followed,
that almost severed Walter’s head
from his body.
A groan, a gush of blood,
sps and Walter was dead.
In the demoralization and confusion
that followed, Will made his escape.
THE CAPTURE.
A few’ weeks later Sheriff Hurst
received notice from Sheriff Patterson,
of Decatur county, that a negro an-*
re ring the description of. the mur
derer was at work ou the Alabama
Midland Railroad, about 00 miles
west of Bainbridge.
Making all his arrangemens so that
certaiq capture would be effected,
Sheriff Hurst went over after liis man
and got him. Since that time lie has
been confined in our jail.
THE TRIAL.
At April term of our .Superior court
Will was brought up for trial.
J. Hanscll Merrill was appointed
by the court to conduct the defense,
and Solicitor General Rountree ap
peared for the state. In one hour and
a half from the time the case was
sounded the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty and Will’s fate was sealed.
He passed through the trying ordeal
with a stolid air of bravado* that be
spoke a very low grade oi intelligence
and morality.
tjincc the trial and after sentence
was passed, the condemned
talked freely of his crime. While
professing conversion and a readiness
to meet the terrible end that awaited
him, Will has shown hat a faint con*
ception of the crime • for which he
paid the penalty with his life. He
has boasted tbat he did his bloody
work in a thorough manner, and in his
last days has been fed on money
obtained from the sale of his body to
one of our physicians. ^
AT THE GALLOWS.
Yesterday morning Will ate a good
breakfast He was furnished with the
meal by the Stuart House.
The drop had been fixed in the
IWairway that leads from the lower to
of the W e D PP er fl°° r *1*® j*3» it if
when he went into eternity. At 10:50
Will DebQl appeared at one of the
windows and made a short address to
the crowd. It was principally made
up of interjections and asseverations
of hi3 willingness to die. He wound
up by exhorting his bearers to meet
him in Heaven. While he was talk-
ing enthusiastic negroes in the crowd
would cry, “that’s so,” and “yes, we
will meet you in Heaven."
.At 10:55 those wbo" were to see the
execution were permitted to enter the
jail. As the reporter walked up the
stairway Will was standing ou the
trap talking in an excited way, de
claring with every other breath that
he was ready to go, that he had fin
ished the work he was to do in the
world* “I have only four more min
utes to live,” he said, “thank God, I
will soon be gone.”
Rev. Peter Gantt, colored, led in a
short prayer, to which Will made loud
and frequent responses.
As the dread moment approached,
it was easy to sec that Will was labor
ing under a terrible excitement. He
would wipe the sweat from his face,
rasp his words and there was a look of
almost maniacal wildness in his eyes.
At the conclusion of the prayer,
Will shook hands with the minister
aud those around him, and when
Sheriff Hurst told him he was ready,
he mounted the trap with an hyster
ical laugh. As he was mounting the
teps some one asked him if he
satisfied with the manner in which the
law had dealt with him. “I haven’t
given it a .thought,” be said.
It was eleven o’clock sharp when
he took his place on the trap. He
was pinioned around the ankles and
knees by Sheriff Hurst, and Marshal
Spair tied the hands of the doomed
man.
At 11:05 the fatal cap • was drawn
over Lis head, and at 11:06 tho trap
was sprung and with a dull thud the
body fell. The drop was six feet.
There was not a motion, or tremor
or convulsion. The vertebrae of the
neck was separated and there was suf
ficient pressure on the spinal cord to
produce insensibility and a painless
death. Three minutes after the fall
the pulse was normal. Five minutes
after the fall it had gone down to 30,
to mount to 120 a minute after.
At niue minutes after the fall it
was 02. After 12 minutes it be
came so feeble and irregular as to
be almost imperceptible, aud 14 min
utes after the trap had been sprung
the wrist pulse had stopped. A min
ute laterjthe heart beats ceased, and
Drs. Bruce and Culpepper, who were
attendance professionally, and who
had watched the coming of death,
pronounced life extinct.
Twenty minutes a^tcr the trap fell
the body was cut down and placed in
the coffin. When the cap was re
moved, the face was found to be as
calm as if the dead man had fallen
asleep. There was no distortion of
the features, aud the eyes and lips
were as though they had liecn set by
the touch of living hands, rather than
by the rude clutch of the hangman’s
rope.
Thirty minutes after the fatal drop
fell the body was placed in an express
wagon and taken to Herring & Wal
ker’s where it was left.
Every detail of the execution was
perfect; there was not a hitch, and
Sheriff Hurst, though a novice in the
art of hanging, showed that he knows
as well how to execute the sentence
of the law, as lie knows how to catch
those who have violated it. ^larshal
Spair gave him valuable assistance in
the delicate work.
Tho Harraiflo of Mr. tote W. Mawry.
Ordinarily, when a man marries,
he drops out of right, loses his iden^
tity, ignores his club and becomes an
obedient benedict This has not been
the case with Mr. Masury. The news
papers have refused to allow him to
drop ont of right It is fair to pre
sume, however, that Mr. Masury has
paid but little or no attention to the
speculations of the press, touching his
marriage. It was his own affair, and
he could well afford to ignore and pas
by the squibs which have appeared
from time to time in reference to what
has been termed “a mysterious mar
riage.” These have been multiplied
for the reason that Mr. Masury, in his
thoroughly independent way, has re
fused to gratify public curiosity about
affair which is private and purely
his own. The latest version of the
marriage, aud probably the only cor
rect one which has found its way into
print, appeared ,the other day in the
New York Times. As a matter of
interest to Mr. Masurv’s mauy Thomas
ville friends, we subjoin the extract:
Society in Moriches and certain
quarters of Brooklyn believes it has
found the true solution to the mystery
of Beaurivage, the beautiful country
home of John W. Masury, the Mil
lionaire paint dealer. A ‘mystery
surrounded the maiden name of the
wealthy man’s second wife, whom he
[uietly married ten or more years ago.
Jutil recently the fortunate young
lady was believed to have been Mary
O’Kenncs. Now it is declared that
e was Grace Harkins.
The ttory, as told yesterday by
Hugh Harkins, a Brooklyn longshore
man, is that fifteen years ago his sis
ter, Grace Harkins, then a poor but
attractive girl, was employed iu Mu-
sury’s paint mill in that city. When
he was bereft of his first wife aud
sought a second, he took a fancy to
Grace. Not long afterward she was
transferred to his Duauo-strect store
this city where the rich old man
declared his love, lie had a giown-
up family aud feared that the children
would oppose his second marriage and
make life unpleasant for Grace. This
is given as the reason lor the secret
marriage. He fitted up the house at
388 Uniou-street and invited her sis
ter Margaret aud her husbaud, Pat
rick Gallagher, to share it with them.
He also gave substantial assistance to
her brothers and sisters. Subsequent
ly Mr. Masury took his bride to Mor
iches, aud they have apparently led
a happy life. Two children, a* boy
and a girl, have blessed the union,
The father of Mrs. Masury, accord
ing to this account, was Daniel Hark
ins, a longshoreman. Her sister
Catharine is the wife of a longshore
man, and her sister Rose is married to
a Williamsburg groccryman. The
widow of Patrick Gallagher is now
Mrs. Mason and her brother-in-law is
Mason the pool player.

It will no doubt be of interest to
some of our townsmen, and of very
great interest to the traveling public
and winter visitors to our state, to
know that the Whitlock House is to

by the Whitlock House Co. To say
that Mr. Jos. M. Brown is largely
interested—he and M. G. Whitlock
being the principal owners—is a suf
ficient guarantee of the success of tho
undertaking. It is to be more than
twice aslargcas the old bouse, auff sup
plied with every modern improvement
possible. It will be a grand and impos
ing structure; one of which the whole
state will be proud. It is to l»e loca
ted alnmt three blocks further from
the depot than the old, on the same
street and on an elevation which will
insure magnificent views of the sur
rounding country in every direction,
The spot seems by nature formed
for this purpose, being the most sui
tably adapted to a house of this kind
it has ever been my pleasu
behold. The same genial accom
modating Mr. Whitlock, who ran*tbe
old house, will operate the new. To
say this is to say that a successful
career for it is assured. It is my
pleasure each minute to come in con
tact with many who have taken shel
ter with Mr. W., and in no single
instance have they done otherwise
than sing his praises. He now ope
rates the Elmwood, a neat and new
house, the largest in the town.

tracting very general attention, the
primary schools have been examining
the little fellows and turning them

garten reboot of Miss Mary Barnes
had its annual exercises Friday. And
they were not only interesting, but
highly enjoyable. A number of the
patrons and friends of; this model
school were present. The little one*
acquitted themselves with much
credit, showing dearly the very care
ful training mod teaching which they
have had at the hands of their much
loved teacher. Miss Barnes not only
has the respect other little brood, but
tho love of every one of them.

For the Johmtown Sufferer#.
In the Timeb-E.nteui'RWE of sonic
days ago, Mr. L. Schmidt, the popu
lar soda water rnalccr and dealer, on
Jackson street, gave notice that he
would give the entire gross receipt* of
business for last Friday to the mif
i by the great O’oncmaugh valley
disaster in Pennsylvania.
A number of ladies kindly under-
took to canvas* the city for the
sale of soda water and ice cream tick
Cts. They succeeded in selling $ 18
worth of ticket*, which ‘reflect* equal
credit on their zeal and the liberality
of our people. Without making in
vidious distinctions, it is not improper
to *oy that Mim Addie Goldberg sold
the largtit amount, $12.70,
Yesterday morning Mr. Schmidt
turned over to ibcTiWL*-E>TKr.i p.iAF.
$73.97, realized from the sale of tick-
ete and cash talcs made, which amount
will be forwarded with other •ubscrip-
lions already in hand.
Mr. Schmidt** liberality in this
matter cannot too highly com
mended, and it furnishes a tpkmdid
example, worthy to be followed by
other*. The duty oi aiding tte un
fortunate does not rest mure heavily
oa him than oa the rest of oar people,
and yet he has come forward with a
donation which exceeds that of any
other man in tb^ State.
It was suggested to tbe Tnuss-Ex-
TZJB’ftiMK yesterday, that a eaavi
tbe ton would resalt ia a consider
able increase to the amount already
donated by our ritfocn*. It would
