A LUNATIC S WORK. lie (tart To A Field And Kills A Man •At Work. Neriah P. eon of Job Lewis, living near Franklin, Ky. , a young man, 80 years of age, has shown signs of derange¬ ment for the past four years, though not thought to be dangerous. Recently, he mounted his horse and armed with two Navy pistols, rode into town, rema'ning only a short while, lie started in the direction of William Roach’s farm, and on leaching his field, in which his two sons were resting under the shade of a straw stack, he slipped up from behind and fired, shooting John Roach, a young man about twenty years of age, in the back. He jumped and rati a distance of about one hundred and thirty yards, and fell dead. Lewis continued to fire on the fleeting brother, one bull passing through his clothing. Tho sheriff was at once hastened notified, and with a squad of men, to the scene. In the meantime, home Lewis had repaired to the of his father, saying lie would not surrender, and when the sheriff’s posse arrived, he opened tire upon them, which they returned. They were held at bay some hours before they heard a pistol shot in the house, followed by groans as coming and found from a dying man. They entered him lying on the floor shot died. through the right side, from which he ' SONS OF AMERICA. I’uirtollc Ord»*r Advocating ‘‘America for Americana” and Denounces Agitators.

In Arresting a Nr*rn, Hevrrnl Officers are Killed and Won tided. A riot occurred at Oak Ridge, La., in which one white man and six negroes were killed, and several white men were dangerously injured. It appears a negro man assaulted a white woman, and when the deputies were taking him to the cal¬ aboose, they were fired on by Jerrv and Bald¬ win, colored, his two sons, three other negroes, wounding Deputies Baker and Gardner. They then dispersed, and later rendezvoused at a negro cabin two miles from town. On learning their ! whereabouts the officers went to arrest them. On approaching the cabin they were fired upon, and one of their num ber, G. W. Higginbotham, was instantly killed, and Constables John Conger, Gardner and Coker dangerously wound cd. During the melee which followed, Jerry Baldwin and one of his sons, and four other negroes, were killed, TERRIBLE STORM. One of the most destructive storms ever known occurred recently, twenty miles below Long View, Texas and carried death and destruction in its course. At New Prospect five men were killed out¬ right. At Fairplay, (a small hamlet), one woman and two children were killed, having taken shelter in au old house on which a very large tree fell, crushing them. In the track of this tornado noth¬ ing was left. The country is thinly set¬ tled, which accounts for the few lives lost. THE PREACHER’!* COMPLAINT. W. H. Heard, colored pastor of the Mt. Zion M. E.

K. O. Sher¬ wood rendered against Rebecca decision Rountree, in Judge Speer a is regarded his charge to the jury which by leading members of the bar as one of the most far-reaching and important in its conse¬ quences which has been made in this cir¬ cuit for years. The pendency of an im¬ mense number of suits against land own¬ ers in Georgia, in which the principle de¬ cided is applicable, gives it this import¬ ance. The testimony in the case was that the agents of the money-lenders dc ducted twenty percent, by way of commissions, and counsel in argument stated that in all the borrower had paid forty three per cent, interest. This, of course, under the Georgia law, would be usurious, and the usury would render void any deed or mortgage made to secure such a debt, provided that tho true lender of the money had notice of the usury, aud the court decided against the mortgage com¬ pany of New York, who loaned tho money. The most widespread effect of the decision will he that such usury would render void the deeds and mort¬ gages executed to these usurious loans. DECLINE TO PAY TAXES. United States Marshal Gross visited Taylor county, Ky., to collect taxes for the payment of county railroad bonds of the Cumberland A Ohio Railroad, in ac¬ cordance with judgments issued by the United States Circuit Court. He re¬ ports the citizens of that county in very bad temper and determined not to pay the taxes. The threat was made that the mandate of the c urt would be executed at the loss of many lives. Tho amount of taxes involved is *18,000 in this par¬ ticular case, though the total amount due the bondholders from other counties amounts to about *250,000. The road was never built. GEN.

A Strike Ocoers In Recbeetor, N. Y.—The Felloe Sheet Several Persons. The masons, helpers and laborers em¬ ployed on the sewers and street im The strike was ordered by the local as¬ sembly. In two or three instances, non union men employed by the contractors on the street works were driven away by the strikers. The union men comprise less than one-third of the total number of laborers. At a sewer on Goodman street the strikers tried to stop an en gineer, when a cloud of steam was thrown on them from tho pipe of a hoisting they engine, and after a sharp fight were driven off. At another point a mob of over two hundred strikers as¬ sembled, and began to intimidate the men at work there. The mob began stoning their the police officers, who, finding clubs useless, opened fire with their revolvers, finally clearing the street. The fight ing lasted only ten minutes, but, dur¬ that time, Policemen Moran, Burns and Farmer, were severely injured by stones. Three of the strikers were badly clubbed and were urrested. Several men were shot by the officers, but were car ried home by their friends. A C’OOI< RECEPTION. Princes Albert Victor and George, sons of the Prince of Wales, proceeded from London to Dublin, Ireland to attend the jubilee exercises, but received rather a ties poor of reception. The corporate authori¬ the city did not meet them, but a officials military escort and a number of crown and prominent people went to Kingstown to await their arrival, Sev eral steamers went down the bay to meet and escort the royal boat. The princes ai lived at Kingstown at the appointed time, and were received with great en¬ thusiasm. The Marquis of Londonderry, the Irish viceroy, met them, aud the town c munissioners of Kingston, presented them with an address. The princes then proceeded to Dublin, and upon their ar¬ rival they were presented with an ad¬ dress of welcome by some conservative citizens. BOCSF8 TICKET SWINDLERS. For the last three years a very modest barber's shop has been conducted in South Clark street, Chicago, Ill. For a long time back the railroads have been flooded with bogus railroad tickets, and finally the Pennsylvania, one of the victims, put the matter in the hands of a detective agency. Information led them to regard the barber’s shop with suspicion, and the place was raided and five men arrested. In the shop was found the most complete paraphernalia for raising railroad tickets, acids, colored pencils, metallic stamp, etc. Two of the men did the pen work. They could counterfeit any kind of signature aud by means of their stamps could fill in the name of any road or make a ticket good for any destination. They cleared nearly *200,000. boiler explosion. A terrible boiler explosion occurred on the farm of Andrew Hudson, near Har¬ mony Grove, Ga. J. A. Segar’s engine and separator were at Mr. Hudson’s tlircsliiug bin wheat, and G. B. Whitehead was in charge of both when the boiler exploded. The force of the escaping steam blew the engine sixty-five yards in the air. It was blown over the separator and one corner of a stable. Whitehead was killed instantly, and four others plosion. were seriously injured by tfie ex¬ GETTING READY. The rivalry of American capitalists who desire to monopolize the trade of the Sandwich Islands will plunge the kingdom of King Kalakuainto civil war. Clearance papers at the Sun Francisco custom-house show that the steamer Australia, for Honolulu, carried a large quantity of arms and ammunition. It comprised eighty cases, in which were nearly 1,000 Winchester repeating rifles and 164,000 cartridges. The articles were chants. consigned to old missionary mer¬ TIIF. l’HIMmats’ IDEA. At the National Convention of Plum bers held in Chicago, 111., resolutions were adopted that all manufacturers of plumbers’ goods who sold to consumers should be boycotted by the plumbers. The committee that reported the resolu¬ tions argued that the adoption of the resolutions was just the thing for plum¬ bers. It would do away with the dis agreeable habit of consumers who bought their pipe from the manufacturer and afterward hired inexperienced men to do their work. DUCKING MARRIED MEN. Much excitement was caused in Flush¬ ing, N. Y. f by the ducking of Charles Doscher, a respectable married man, in the basin of the village fountain by four men whom he could not recognize in the dark, but who are supposed to be mem¬ bers of a vigilance committee, This or ganization was formed two years ago and its object is stated to be the punishment by ducking of any married man found out after 11 o’clock unaccompanied by his wife. NEGRO TEACHER.**. The Atlanta, Ga., Board of Eduction has decided that in all colored schools only colored teachers shall be n?ployed. Too Fnll for Utterance. A clerk in a banking-house celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his con nection with the firm. Schtnul, the principal, hands him in the morning a closed envelope, inscribed: “In memory of this eventful day.” The clerk grate fully receives the envelope without open- i ing. but on a gracious hint from the head of the firm, he breaks the cover and finds —the photo of his master. “Well, what do you think of it!” in quired “It’s Schmul, like with you,” a grim. the just Blatter. was reply. —Fliegendc VASHIN6T0N NOTES.

There are upward of 1,000 flags in what is for the present the flag-room of the War Department. Of these nearly 600 are “rebel flags,” so named in the record book bearing the title, “Record of Rebel flags captured by the Union troops since April 19, 1801.” Over 200 are Federal colors taken by Confederate troops and found in Richmond after the cvactuation of that city. The balance arc also Federal colors, regimental flags turned over to the War Department by the various state organizations. The real history of the Confederate flags would be more interesting thau the few lines each one gets in the record book. Some of these are made of women’s dresses. Where cashmere or other wool¬ en material was used, as in several, they have been eaten into shreds by moths. They were, no doubt, worn out when placed in the department 20 years ago, but now they are literally in tatters. Blues have faded into white, and red in¬ to faint pink. The stars have dropped out, and when unfurled little hits fall to the floor. The largest flag in the lot is the garrison flag of Fort Tyler, West Point, recaptured by the 1st Wisconsin, 2d Indiana and 7th Kentucky regiments. The smallest is a tiny guidon taken from the First Irish brigade, or 69tli New York in that brigade. No. 266 is a Union flag, “made by Mrs. Hetty Mc Ewen, floated from her house at the time the city of Nashville, Tenn., was in pos¬ session of the South, and found still waving there when Gen. Buell’s army took the city.” A flag captured from Gen. Longstreet’s corps had these re¬ marks on paper pasted on the staff: “Mr. Yankee, you will please turn this flag, staff and shoulder belt over to the 9th Maine; was captured at St. Gilmore on 29th October, 1864, by Third Forks Regt. Vol.” (Signed) “Big Rebel.” A LADY WON. motion Among those examined for pro¬ in the quartermaster-general’s office by the Civil Service board, was but one hysterics lady-clerk, and she neither went in¬ to nor exhibited any excitement whatever. She was cool and placid, and passed with higher percentages than most of the men. The three gentlemen who failed to pass the examination, failed upon the very matters that were of prac¬ tical, every-day importance in the offices in which they were serving. CONSOLIDATING TllKASUUY DIVISIONS. The vacancy in the office of Chief of the Division of Mercantile Marine, Treas¬ ury tion Department, of Mr. caused by the resigna¬ Secretary Lyman, will not lie filled, as Fairchild has decided to con¬ solidate that division with the Division of Captured aud Abandoned Property, and to retain David Okie, now chief of the latter division, as chief of the consol¬ idated divisions. POSTAL REVENUES. A statement jrrepared at the Post-Office Department shows that during the month of May last, the sale of postage stamps, stamped envelopes and postal curds ut the 76 first-class post-offices, aggregates *1,- 733,089, which is an increase over the sumo month last year of *155,533, or 9.86 per cent. Fifteen offices, including Washington, D. C., show a decrease. CARE8 TO BE rUSHKD. Wm. C. Strawbridge, of Philadelphia, Pa., special counsel for the the government Telephone in the suit against Bell patent, says: “Ex-Senator McDonald, wlxo is retained in the Bell interest, is in error when he says that a final decision in this case cannot be had before the teim of the Bell patent has expired. This suit,” said he, “was brought to be pros¬ ecuted, not to be delayed. It is now be¬ ing pushed forward in the Circuit Court at Boston, and there is no reason to doubt that the decision of that court will he reached at the fall term. After that, if an appeal is taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, there will be no avoidable delay there.” NOTES. The street inspectors of the District use tricycles in going their rounds. Commissioner Sparks, of the General Land Office, will cancel fifty-five desert land entries in Wyoming Territory, ag- ! gregating in area about 35,000 acres. Inspector General Baird and Col. Has brook, commandant of cadets at West Point, have been detailed to visit France in September next, for the purpose of witnessing tho fall maneuvers of the French army. Secretary Fairchild has arranged with Assistant Treasurer Canda, at New York, te keep him informed of the condition of affairs in Wall street. Should a panic seem imminent, he would authorise the prepayment of the interest due in July, j which would release about $9.000,000.' -- SPECK OF WAR. France Sends A Threatening Note To Tar key---Russian Troops Moving. The French government has sent a Satinet which will result from the signing of the Egyptian that convention with England, and says if the convention be ratified, France will take measures necessary to protect her interests, which will be cn dangered by the disturbance of the equil ibrium of the Mediterranean. On the other hand, France offers formal assur ance that she will protect and guarantee the sultan against whatever consequences may result, if ne w ill refuse to ratify the convention. By so doing, the note says, the sultan will strengthen the ties of friendship between France and Turkey and protect his country from the en¬ croachments and ambition of England. Russian troops are advancing from Kars as a menace to Turkey. MONEY INVESTED IN LARGE AMOUNTS IN THE southern states. Railroads.
