He was once sentenced to lie hanged.” It was seen by Dr. M. J. Clarke of tliis city, and the doctor furnished the following account of Carr’s es cape from the gallows: “I had no idea that Carr was liv ing on this side of the lake, or that lie was living at all. Not having heard anything of him for thirty years, I supposed him long since dead, liis arrest, conviction and escape are events closely con nected with my family and my childhood, my uncle, Rev. John lly- ersqn, being the clergyman who at tended Carr to the scaffold, and who prayed against time for the purpose of cheating the hangman. He succeeded, and this is how it ail happened: I was a child at the time, and it happened at Victoria, a Canadian village just across the lake, about tifty-tive years ago.” “Who did Carr kill?” “No one.

The whole village of Victo ria was in an uproar. Someone had stolen an ox. A diligent search resulted in the discovery of the hide, and suspicion fell upon Carr, who was known to be poor, and in whose house the odor of cooked meat still hung.

He was horn on the plantation of Lionel Clayton, on the James river, near James town, Va., and when 55 years old escaped to Canada, where he has lived ever since. Of course he was intimately acquainted with Gen. Washington, and claims to have driven that gentleman from his master’s plantation on one occasion. There is trouble among the coun ty officers in llahhersluim county. The accounts of the tax collector ed judge had expatiated for hours upon the enormity of this crime against God and man. “Sentence of death was passed upon Carr and Smith, and they would probably have been executed the next day, hut I suppose the sheriff thought it would lie ungen- tlemanly and unfriendly if he did not arrange the time so that his dis tant constitunncy could get in to witness the sight. Travel was slow in those days of no railroads.— Among those who were horrified and shocked at the approaching execution were my uncle, the spirit ual adviser of the poor fellows, and Dr. John Rolf, whose memory still clings to the village. The ltcv. John Ryerson was brother to Dr. Egerton Ryerson, D. D., superin tendent of education in Ontario, who. died two years ago, the house of parliament adjourning to attend the funeral. “Dr. Rolf was more excited than any other of Smith and Carr’s sym pathisers, and lie determined to ride to Toronto to intercede with the governor, who, I think, was Sir John Colborn. Before departing on his hazardous errand or mercy, Dr. Rolf was closeted with my uncle, Row John Ryerson. The latter able prayer on record. His voice was low purposely, for he wanted to husband his vocal strength, lie prayed for about twenty minutes without creating remark, for long prayers wore not so distasteful then as now. when he entered up on his second half hour great rest lessness was manifested. The sun poured down upon uncovered heads, and many did not hesitate to say aloud that they were getting too much of a good thing. The sheriff wits impatient, and the hangman! looked weary. The proceedings! made him tired. Even the poor wretches waiting death showed signs of annoyance, for unde had not told them of his compact with Dr. Rolf. The murmurs rose high er, and higher, hut uncle prayed on without ceasing. An hour passed and he was still on his knees. There was now no revelancy in the ap peal. He merely uttered words and disconnected phrases to con sume time. The muscles of his throat were contracted, Ids tongue was dry and clove to his mouth, and his voice was husky, but lie prayed on, the words falling with out meaning upon liis hearers. “He told me later that he did not know what he was saying, and that the only real prayer uttered in all that time was a silent one, and composed of four words: ‘God has- hasten Rolf’s footsteps.’ Whenever r see the play of ‘Raymond and Pythias,’ I am reminded of that fearful scene.” continued Dr.Clarke. “At the end of an hour and a half, there was an uproar, and the dis content lmd almost become a riot, when a voice cried: ‘Here comes Dr. Rolf!’ My uncle did not hear or heed the new tumult that now arose, but prayed on becoming weaker each minute. Soon the horseman approach near enough to be recognized, and lie dashed up to tiu' very foot of the scaffold, scat tering people right and left. He was too weak to speak or move, buf a man in the crowd snatched a document from liis hand, and mounting on the hack of the horse, shouted: ‘Repreive! lteprelve!’— It was so.

Mr. G. H. H. Moore, of the United States Fish Commission, arrived in the city Monday morning, with the government fish car, and is stop ping at the Markham House. He stated to a Journal reporter that he left Washington City with 4,000 California trout. The specimens shown are from four to six inches in length, and when first taken from the water were active and spright ly. They were kept in cans about the size of a fifty pound lard cam which was kept at a uniform tem perature of :14 degrees by means of ice. He stated that the samples shown would spawn next year, and would in two years attain a length of seventeen inches. The fish, he said, were not design ed for ponds, hut were being dis tributed in the rivers of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. Some of them had been put into the Tennes see river. lit* stated that they had been tried in some of the muddy waters in Alabama, and thrived well, being afterwards caught when they were seventeen inches long, thus exploding the theory that they could not live unless in the cool and limpid waters of such riv ers as flow from the snow-capped mountains of California. They also spawn well in Southern waters, and are fast filling the rivers. On being asked if the commissioners’ work was being appreciated by those they were trying to benefit, he said the benefits were not always apparent at the time, and, as a mat ter of course, it could not he expect ed that the work would be looked upon with that favor it would re ceive if tlie good being done was notieahle sooner. Ho then told of the introduction of fish into the rivers at San Francisco, California, and said that for three or four years none had been caught, and the people there looked upon tin enterprise as a failin' Cleburne county is terribly excit ed over the death of a family of four persons from eating Western meat, says an Anniston, x\la., dis patch of the 14th. Two days ago Mr. R. C. Otwell, a well-to-do far mer, was in this place and, among other purchases, took home with him a quantity of Chicago beef for the purpose of giving it a trial. While Mrs. Otwell was cooking it her husband remarked that there was something queer in its appear ance, but did not suspect its true nature. At the dinner table the wife and throe children ate heartily of it, but Mr. Otwell, being sick, did not go to tlie table. Within 20 minutes, Edward, the youngest- child, turned deathly pale and died almost before his parents realized that lie was sick. While weeping over the event the second child ex hibited the same symptoms, and it was not long before he too was a corpse. The oldest child had by this time fallen a victim to terrible retchings and was in violent con vulsions, while his younger brother was breathing his last. Then the mother fell ill, and by sundown the, entire family of four were laid side by side dead. Officers are taking steps to ascertain the cause of death, and for this purpose have sent off some of the meat for analysis. the scene remained equally great- and equally impressive. As daylight died the moon shone upon the waters and lit with a ghostly splendor those white mass es of ice that moved on their way witii an imperturbable Mphynx-like gravity. If the weather was calm the steamers sped on swiftly through the night, taking good heed to keep clear of the white bulwark that loomed so grandly in the distance. As the day broke the sun let loose all his arsenal of rays and touched with his golden wand the scene and its strange denizens. A profusion of colors, such as sun light beaming upon crystal can alone produce, straightway glorified the icebergs, until it seemed as though they were no longer white insensate masses of solidified water, but had been quickened into life and crowned with golden tiaras.

A few soldier’s were seated around a table, and abrupt ly addressing them, as if a superior officer of their own army, he asked who they were and what they were doing there.

Special to Augusta News. Savannah, March 17.—While Samuel McDaniel, a young white farmer was ploughing in a field near Island Shoals, his ploughshare brought to view an earthen jug securely corked and sealed. Open ing it McDaniel recognized the smell of whisky, and the liquid proving to he a fine old article, he sat down and continued drinking until he fell asleep. Woried by his continued absence his mother sought him out and awakened him. The weight of the jug attracted Mrs. McDaniel’s attention, and a closer examination resulted in the discovery of 1,990 five dollar gold pieces, or a total of nine thousand five hundred dollars. McDaniel’s grandfather was a captain in a Florida regiment during the war and was killed in battle. It is almost certain that the money just found was a part of tlie dead cap tain’s fortune.
