He then rut i der a pung, covered it up and went .. on * bis milk route, taking his brother with him. * ' | Ho returned about. 11 o'clock, put up' hi - ' team and went to dinner. Alter dinner tie i went to the stable, cleaned up the traces of ! the crime as well as ho could, and then do i liberated ns to the di-.p sitiou of the borft. He finally decided to take it away in the ' and secrete it. somewhere until ho j pung could safely rid He considered got of it. the weight of the body, and to mafeo it easier to handle and to hide the traces of bis ghastly load be concluded to dismember it. left Then he took an ax and body first and chopped the niT the leg close to the then right arm. Thinking that with these mem¬ bers gone he could easily handle what Was left, he placed the body and tlio severed parts in tlio back pari ot his pang aud covered it with the rubber horse blanket, which was subse pieutly found near the body, and also put the axe into the sleigh. Before starting he tidied things up in the stable, de¬ stroying what he could of the marks left after his rough mode of dissection. He con¬ cluded then to secure tho money for which he had committed tho < ri me, and started oil’ r. it la the turnout and the body for C'odmnn’s bearding house, lie left the team standing a few doors from the house and then went in, telling the landlord that Codman was going away for an iudeliiiiti time with a man and had sent him for his money and other things. He was allowed to go up to Codmau's room to get articles of apparel, and from there he carried off the desk containing about $‘J75 in money ami other articles of value. He re¬ turned to tho team ami drove off toward Lexington. After driving awhile he is'gan realize to i the enormity of his crime and became more and more frightened as ho drove along, im¬ agining that all who saw him knew of the dreadful burden he was carrying.

The blanket, however, body fell short of its mark and left the exposed. His hideum mission occupied him about lour hours. James Edward Nowlin is a handsome young man, little over seventeen year, old, and is intelligent looking. Ho is one of four brothers who live in Somerville. While nothing really bad is known of the brothers, they have the reputation of being hot-blooded aud wild. The fat or of tho family, it is stated, hanged him-elf :u tho penitentiary in the provinces. His de¬ parture hastened from Somerville a few years ago was by somewhat questionable acts. A JACKSON COUNTY SENSATION. A Man Suspected of RuUhcry in Taken (tut nnd lUa I treated. On Thursday night of Christinas week the storehouse of Mr. J. E. Stathanqwho lives iu Sentofc, Oil., was entered and $100 stolen therefrom. For some cause sus¬ picion at once rested on W. O. Shclnutt, who lived near the store, but direct proof was lacking which would fasten the crime on him. Threats were i made about Shehiutt’s complicity. On ; Sunday night following, about 1 o’clock, j Sliclnutt’.s door was broken open, and without, giving him time to dress or bid j his wife adieu, a party of men wearing I masks and nine in number, hurried him j off to mi old church near by. and fi: dirig I a suitable limb, procured a strong rope I and drew fastening him one end around his neck up between heaven and earth, After suspending him thus until life was almost extinct, the line was slackened ! and an opportunity given him for a full i confession of the crime, but tills lie re ftred to do, and again was the rope tightened. When breath ha 1 about , left , ,, film a halt was called, arid m an uncon sci us condition Shclnutt was dragged hy two rnen about 100 yards to a log. While they held him down across it a brawny fellow administered a sevefc flog- I giug with an improvised cat-of-nine tails ! made from a heavy leather strap. When ! the mob had given him all he could stand a halt was ordered and another oppor- j tunitv given for a confession. Witii his > back bleeding from a hundred wounds, : the poor wretch, to save his life, told them that a man named Griffith robbed the store, and he Shclnutt happened to see him in the act. and that Griffith gave him five dollars to keep mum. This con fession seemed to appease the wrath of the crowd to a certain extent, and 8hel- | nutt was then taken to the home of Mr. Statham, proprietor of (he store that was robbed, and turned over to his tender mercies. The next day Griffith was ar¬ rested, but Shclnutt failed completely to show any connection that Griffith had with the matter, so Griffith was released, Shelnutt says he knows nothing what- | ever about the robbery and only jtold the mob what he did in order tosavehis life. charged rrsints huve complicity been issued for six men j with in the whipping, and lively times mav be looked f4r befor* the thing is finally ended. j TTJSCALOOSAS BOOM. \ C ontract Si«nod tor l ho Organization of I l»o Tuscaloosa Coni, Iron an ml im¬ proving Coinimny> At a late hour Saturday a contract was stoned by a number ol leading citizens ol Tuscaloosa, Ala. and capitalists from 110 ’' points for the organization of the ( u.scaloosa and (_onl. subscriptions Iron ana Improving opened company, the t\er»> to Us stock.

A Straiige llontli Heporlrd from Fl.i-.nrn M. C. ('. II. Pa brer, a merebant. of Florence, died Alomlay from the result of a strange accident. One day about two months ago, while standing in front of his store, he, was approached from behind by a friend, who playfully threw his arms around Barber's neck. A scuffle ensued, in which Barber's head was draw n down¬ ward and his right eye brought in eon tact with the sharp point of a small lead pencil sticking out of which his friend’s about vest pocket. The pencil, was an inch and a quarter long, penetrated llu eye, and became so completely embedded therein, as to baffle tho efforts of the Mirgerflis to extract it. After remaining llie eye, about six weeks, the pencil worked itself out,and if w as then thought uLtrith the exception of the loss of the ve, Mrr*. :cr would soffoc no other in lMit.ru a fc days it beci.'m ■ evident t.nat tm uw optic nerve, and soon after the brain be* came similarly affected. Barber lingered in great agony until death relieved him. Tim autopsy showed that th< brain had literally rotted away. THE DROUTH SUFFEREB.S. Coveroor Ireland Aiuir-nls to file t'eiintri for Aid.

The doctor moved about the city in Iris usual un concern. Thc young lady held her grief and disappointment sacred, and ventured no word of censure or com¬ plaint.
