Work of u .Negro Fiend!
Ou Monday morning, 16:li inst,
Mrs. James Caraway, residing uear
Smithville, in the old 16th district o!
Sumter c.iuuty, was brutally mudered
by a itegro wretch whe sought this
method of obtaining revenge for some
imaginary wrong done biui by Mr.
James Caraway, lor whom he worked
gome years ago.
We are indebted to Col. G. W.
Warwick of Suiiihviile, for the jjartic
ulata of this terrible affair. It ap
pears that Mr. Caraway was on l ie
plantation attending to his duies, Ins
childien away at school, and no one
at the home [dace hut the unfortunate
victim of this te rible tragedy.
About 10 o'clock on the morni g
mentioned, Rev. J. W. Woodaii, a
Baptist minister, while on the way
home horn his sliarge, took occasion
to stop at Ml Caraway’s, and on hi
teiiug the house wa» horrified at toe
spectacle that met his gaze. In one
room he found Mrs. Caraway lying in
the middle of the floor, entirely uu
coucious, with her skull badly mash
ed and blood and hraines scattered
about the premises. Iu the other
rooms of the and we ling, bureaus, trunks
and closets were found btnken open
and tiieir contents scattered about the
floor, bearing ev.dence that the arch
fiend bad coupled the crime of tobbe
ry with that of murder.
The alarm was soon given, and it
was i ot long before the terrible news
spread through the settlement and the
neighbors were in council, and with
no other clue than that a negro by
the nan-8 of Chatley Thome*, who
had been persecuted some years ago
by Mr C. for stealing core, tfn-y pri
ce-rie lto scour the country. Messrs.
T. G. W illiaine, George E I war ds and
others, constituting the po»««, over took
him iu his flight iu Terrell county, on
the plant ition were ha was emph y id
as a hand.
The missing money and ot 1 er arti
cles which he had taken were fjund
in his possession.
We have had a short interview
witn him, and ne makes the following
statement;
“Two years ago I lived With Mr.
Caraway. Had beeu hving with Him
abou five years altogether. Cnanged
to another place, to Mr. Allen s, on
account of tome mbunuerstanding
i about corn. Have been living in Ter
rell county with Mr. Marttu since
Christmas.
“On Monday morning, whale past

and she. rep,ied, “Go..d morning;

»'-r a b|,,w t,d she tail or. hei
I w-.ked jute, me it n.g ic.ccm and
to. k some, !,,th that was lying or. a
nnk and looked at it. 1 eying to open
the trunk, I found ii waa locked ; pn:--

tin box, wnich 1 took. 1; had »bou;
*lO in it, i gn, pose I took the cloth
and box and wan! to a si td room,
where I found a counterpane, and fin
ding it up, to-.k that also. On leaving
'he shed room I.went into the dining
room; seeing Mrs. Car.. v.ay on th#
floor, crying “Oh, L id ! “Oh, Lord !”
in a teethe voice, t struck her twice
with the same stick. I did it from
excitement, -kinking I would not he
able to get out of the house * efc.re
the alarm would be giveu. I knew
alia was not dead when 1 lelt, I went
out the same way that 1 . aiue in. i
went through the orchard aud took to
the woods. I then went horn-, in
Terrell county, od Mr Wiliis M-rtin’s
plantation, where 1 was luund hy tin
searching party.”
The murderer emphatically denies
having outraged the person ot Mrs.
Caraway, as was supposed. He as
serts that he nevet once thought of it.
This is, perhaps, one aiming the
most atrociou- acts that was ever pet
petrated by a being in the shape ut
a mac. The impertubablr aud .city
aud nomhalonce with which tie recoun
ted the several acts in this trag.-dy, in
which ) e was the prim.- actor, estab
lishes the conviction that an example
of more abandoned villainy and re
morseless barbarism cannot be found
in the past aud may in vain, be
sought in the future.
We cannot bestow higher p aise
upon the parties who have traced up
aud captured such a demon, nor can
we say too much in praise of that
foi beam nee woich allowed them to
leach this place. Forbearance,iu this
case, ay tiuly he said io have reach
»and sublimity Iu many—yea, it! any
locality but this murderer would nev
er have had the opportunity of being
c. udemued hy a regular judge and
jury.
The victim iu this case was nut dead

hope i* entertained of her recovery.--

There is at this time ci usiderahle
talk in some c.rcles o! this cily con
cerning a strange and somewhat re*
markable case that has developed
no..r the Reading Driving Dark, close
to the Three Mile House, About a
square up tile toad to the right of the
ho'el stand two modest two story hou
ses with high porch-". They are oe_
copied by Mr. Henry D-eds aud hit
wife, who are aged people, and Rich

son-in-law and daughter of the first
namud people.
Mrs. Suader is the ssend oldest
daughter of D«-d», and it she lives
until next November she will tie for
iy-fw.i years if »g«. She is the wif*
ot Richard Bnade , an industrious
iurchanie, employed at the pipe mill
when he him work. Mrs. Boeder was
eleven days ago to ad appearance
perfectly healthy. About jhe 12th of
the past month she took to ii «r lied,
and sard that her time waa up, and
that she would die before she arose
from tier pillow Again. Eleven years
ago she told her friends that in 1877,
««ily iu the year, she would tie called
upon to enter the future world. S nee
M arcti 12th she has remained iu bed,
mid gradually she is becoming weak
er, aud to all appearances is slowly
ebbing awty her life. Hei husband
and her p .ients called ia a physician,
but the woman tomarked that it was
tin use to do that; that she is not sick;
that she used* ui> medicin-, aud that
it is .-inful to do anything that m-ght
in any way interfere with her soul’e
progress and journey to the bright
and beautiful world in t e land of the
leal. The physician therefine has «(’•
m nistired no medicine. The woman
eats vory little, and many times she be
comes rigid and pale as death; her
bteathing apparently stops entirely,
and her body ha.- ail appearances of a
corpse. During th“se strange and
mysterious intervals, apparently ab
sence of a!! vitality, -he .-ays tier soui
journeys to the spirit world; and the
stories of her fantastic flights to a
beautiful, golden heaven are in'ere-t
--n.g aud strangely attractive, b- cause
they are told in language that seems
beyond -be power of suy person, no
'oat er flow extraordinary hi- or tier
intellectual capacity may Ire.
During h«r soul’s absence from tire
body since she haa taken to bed it
visit- many places. She gives vivid
dnsci iptions of the beautiful land she
sees, with the ang Is and archang>-ls.
She says she is reidy aud all prepared
to go. She is done with the world
here and does uot want to remain.
She is only waiting for her time. By
an.l fry her soul will leave her body
aud not come (rack again When she
is in a irance n breath appears to en

then went into the clouds. She sees

Moir.>r..in Meadow*
T e last interview which Rachel
had with tier liege lord, J tin D. Lee
was about two days before tiro exe
tu ion, .nd tins mooting was witness- j
jtdby an officer. Rachel shed « few
untiiiy tear*, and cusse I Brigham, the
chiet fiend of Mountain Meadows,
.most lustily, saying in for angui.-h
that she had not unt I then believed hei
John would be kil ed, because the
Prophet hud said to her in the pres
ence of Bishop Murder*, of Beaver, a
few weeks tiefore, these words; “Toll
Brother John not to divulge anything,
if lie stops in jail till the bed-bugs
carry him away. Tell him to be tiue
to his covenants and we will see that
he is saved ” With this assurance
Rachel left the presence of tlie Proph
et and came to the penitentiary feeling
sereueiy certain that Lee would rot bo
executed, aud eveu up to the rime
that he was taken from ja ; ! back to
Beaver they b- th espressel confidence
iu g-t ing a reprieve on the strenght
of the confessions be had made.
To more tully impress the uuregen
orate Gentiles into whose hands Lee
laid fallen w th tile fact that lie hdd
soen the error of his life, and was
throughly bee from the meshes of
Mormonism as a religion,he threw oif
his endowment lobes a few days be
fore startling from Hoaver and declai
ed himseif an apostate. But when
fie found there was no hope of a re
prieve, he donned hi* robe again and
died with them on; which fact simp
ly shows that while fu denounced
Brighams* a coward and a traitui, he
himself died firm in the faith, boiier
mg tlmt, in accordance with the prom
ises re eived in the Efowmtnt II .use,
th" executors’ bullets would not pene
trate his holy robes, or if percnanco
they should, his robes and temple
name, «• atever that may have been,
■ would afford him a sure passport in
to heaven. VAhile Rachel is still
firm in the Mormon faith, site denoun
ces Brigham most bitterly fi*r sacri
fiiing her John I.) Lee, and makes
no secret of her intention to shoot
th» Prophet ot the Lord on sight
Rachel herself would make a good
witness against Brigham, ai she
knows better than any one on earth
•he whole extent of Lee’s relatiou*
with that man after an! in connec
tian with the massacre. It may be
impossible to adduce sufficient legal
evidence to show that Brigham or
dered the massrere, because George
A. Btr.itli, the connecting link, is
gone ; but there is an abundance of
testimony to show that Brigham ia
accessory after, th« fan*, and Racftel
is not the least of those living wi>-
nesses whose testimony would send
the M-rmon P.ophet tothegailows.—

general serenity was disturbed by tho
development of a maligant malady on
board. The victim was the represent
ative of a Ban Fiancisco house,alarge
and [o.'.erlul man, who Lai drank
himself into a state of delirium tre

violence of the rsadonn. He was
fina'iy secured in one eud of the car
while the women and-children were
crowded in the other eud. Not a soul
slept through the night. Jlis ravings
were incessant, as® it was feard that
he might regain his strength and com
mit murder. When the train reached
Ogden ihe derangement cf the unfort

this point ihe females and children
were crowded into the ie*r sleeping

Some time ago thoro lived ia Ed
inburgh a well known grumbler nan.
od Sandy Black, who»e often i earring
fits of spleen or indigestion produced
somo amusing scenes of senseless irri
tability, which were highly relished
by a 1 except the hruteto good, patient
little wife. One morning Sandy rose
bent on a quarrel. Tho haddins and
eggs wero excel.eut done to a turn,
and bad been ordi red by him elf tba
previous evening and breaks at passed
witli the look ior compliment.
‘VVliat will you have for dinner,
Sandy? said Mrs. Black.
‘A chicken, madam,’ said the hus
band.
‘Rnasted or broiled !’
Confound it madam, if you had
been a good considerate wife you
wou and havo known before this what I
i k.-d,’ Bundy growled out, and slan -
ming the door behind him, left tho
bouse. It was in the Spring, and a
frond who wna present -beard the lit
tle wife any ;
‘■toudv’a Lent on a disturbance to
day; T bliull not please bin , do whht
I can.’
The dinner time <arae and Sandy
nd liis friend sat down to dinner.
Tim fi-di were eatan in eilencp, nnd on
raising the cover of the dish before
him, in a towering passion he calloil
•ut ;
‘Boiled chicken ! I 1 ate it, madam.
A chicken boiled is aclucken spoiled.’
Immediately tho cover was raised
from another chicken roasted to ft
■urn.
‘Madam, 1 won’t eat roast chicken,’
roared Sandy; ‘you know how it
-liould have been cooked!
At that instant a broiled chicken,
with iijushin. ms was placed on the
table,
“Without green pease?” roared the
grumbler.
“ILoe they are, mydear,” said Mrs.
Black.
“How dare you spend my money in
that way?”
“They were a present,”< aid the wife
inteviiipiing him.
Rising lrotn Iris chair, and rushing
from the room, followed by a roar us
laughter from Iris friend, he clinched
•us fist and shunted :
•‘How dure you receive a pre.-ent

A Har<! Grind.
A hand-organ man was making his
way np Adams avenue yesterday when
u hoy mot him and asked:
“How many tunes doyou p'ay?”
“Sixteen shunes-nice,sweet shunes,’’
replied tho man.
“My father is fond of music, but lie
is a li't’e di af,” continued the boy.
“Oh, dat make no deference—l
make a hitn hear.”
The boy led the way uj the street to
wh' ro :: plaster bust of Sir Isaac New
ton had been arranged in a bay win
dow to look like a living man, and
the Italion s| it on his hand and be
gan on the crank. lie ground out all
the tunes in rotation, nnd then began
at tho bottom and ground back|up*be
scale till lie gut all the tut.ee iu the
garret of tho box again. Tho rnaß in
the bay window didn’t move a hair,
and the l'alion drew a long breath
and sighed:
“Pniy more muzet-k— mak a him
hear sunn.”
He ran out eight tunes and thru
t -row seme gravel at the window.-
The bust didn’t evou wotk l's ears,
and the I'.uliou leaned the orgxn on
the fence anrl loudlysang;
“Oil 1 who si> all 'links of me some n.oar

The .-even other tunes were rattled
off at lively pace, while the uiau
coughed, whittled,kicked on the fence
end encouraged a dog-fight, iu order
to attract the deaf man's attention.
“Sing louder—[day harder !” called
the boy from the next stueet corner.
The giinder secured a brave sot his
