There lay her prayer-book, open wide, . With household bills, in her writing And left from her break/ait the day she A morsel of oake still crumbled there. The prefer I read where the page lay turn- My tremblingheart row beat in fear— The prayer of a mother whose spirit For heavenly hleesing on children dear. I read the writing her hand had traced— Ho longer my pain might be suppressed— Bead her figures, and tore m haste Joy’s reckonings from my aching breast. I gathered np, with a pious care.

While thus stand ing, by some means the gun fired aud- denly, sending tbe entire charge through his hand, mutilating it fearfully. At last accounts the wounded man was doing a9 well as could be expected, though suffer ing greatly with bis hand. A similar ac cident occurred on Saturday before in Oglethorpe county, where an estimable gentleman was terribly shot.In the arm near the shoulder, which will probably re sult in the Joss of that limb, if not in death. The careless handling of fire arms Is a very reckless habit, and these ac cidents should be a warning to all who are disposed to treat them as toys. TT alton County Vklctte : On Friday night, tbe 30lh ult., a very disastrous fire occurred at Walnnt Grove, in this county, which destroyed tbe handsome residence of Mr. Samuel H. Brodnax.

A man whose name is not given was tried in that city yesterday for beating ft woman with whom his rela tions were of a most intimate character.

Cartersvili.e Free Press: A mar riage was to come off in our town Sunday, and all necessary arrangement* bad been made for such performance, when the girl’s father interfered and “broke up tbe meeting.” Tbe minister wa3 on the spot and the license paid for. Too bad. Sandersvillk Uerald: TheWrigbts- ville and Tennilie railroad excitement seems to have collapsed.

Me Duffle Journal: The Macon Tel egraph and Messenger, always a sterling, reliable paper, since Col. Lamar bas become editor-in-chief shows a won derful increase ot life and vigor. ■ It is un doubtedly one of tbe nlost valuable, influ ential and reliable journals in tbe South. Sandersville -Herald; Rev. A. J. Battle, D. D., the newly«lected pastor of the Baptist church In this city, preacLed the first sermon ot his pastoiate on last Sabbath. A large and appreciative con gregation met to greet the new minister. The sermon was just such a one as was to be expected of this eminent divine. It was an able, lucid and forcible exposition of his subject, eminently practical in its application, and abounding in apt and beautiful illustrations. We wish the rev erend gentleman great success in his new field of labor. Butler Herald: A vigorous but un successful attempt was made on last Fri day night by three negroes, who are con fined iu jail, to make their escape. These prisoners were confined in tbe cell, and an effort was made by them to prize up the trap door, entertaining tbe hope that they would be able to escape by entering the upper story. They were doubtless pro vided with a crowbir or some other strong instrument, as some damage was done to the jail before they were discovered. Du lit. IN' Post; Mr. Jones Hightower, of Johnson county, has a corn stalk taken from liis field last year which branched off a foot or so above the ground into two complete stalks, each bearing a tassel. Two good sized cars grew ou the stalk at tbe pomt of separation. Butler Jit raid: On last Thursday, Mr. B. F. Allman, living in the lower portion of the county, in attempting to break a young steer, preparatory for ser vice^ having a rope fastened to lus horns, tbe ox suddenly began running in a cir cular form in opposite direction to Mr. Allman, when he was tln vwn to the ground and striking a small stump or root bis right collar bone was broken In two places, from which he bas been a great sufferer. Dr. Smith, his attending physician informs us that be is at present improving. Cochhax Enterprise: We raise our hat iu congratulation to Mr. David Ware of the Dublin Gazette, and his beautiful and lovely bride, the late Miss Sidney Lasseter. This grandest epoch of tiie young gentleman’s life took place at the residence of the bride’s father In Dublin on tbe 27th ult., Rev. W. S. Ramsey officiating. How, Colonel, nothing more honest and earnest ever emanated from tbe holiest recess of our heart than the wish that life to you “two made one,” may be in exact accordance with your happiest anticipations and noblest ambi tion. Louisville Sews and Farmer.: Yes terday eveblDg as tbe train was nearing the email stream or pond that lies just be yond Betbany, and between Bethany aud Wadley, tbe engineer discovered on tbe short trestle an obstruction across the track. It was plank about two by six, plac/1 vertically on tbe rails, extending trow one to tbe other. At one end an other piece was placed horizontally on the track, resting on the other plank. Tbe obstruction was seen in time to slacken the train, but not to stop-it. Tbe plank was broken, and happily no hanu was done. Tbe engineer acted with vigilance. The president was on tbe train. North Georgia Citizen: The fun, frolie and dissipation of tbe holidays are now over, ana now let everybody go to work and see what they can do to make them selves belter off financially, mentally and morally before tbe close of tbe year 1882. A runaway couple were united in tbe holy bonds of matrimony at the Excbam Hotel at this place one night last weel Rev. George Macauley officiating. Tbe contracting parties were Mr. William Buiee and Miss Mamie Burnett, both of Rome. The young people bad fled from parental tyranny and were made one be fore the wrathful opponents of the bans could reach here and prevent tbe cere mony. Atlanta Constitution: An interest ing case came np in- the City Court yes terday which presented an interesting feature. Thomas Thompson was charged with cheating and swinaling. He bad gone to Judge Bleckley aud a number of other prominent citizens, and solicited contributions to a fund to be expended in the payment of tbe burial expenses of Ransom Montgomery, quite a well known colored man, who was at oue time owned by the State of Georgia, and was used by the State as a train man on tbe Western and Atlantic road, we believe. The lib eral-hearted geDtlemen who were ap proached subscribed readily, and Thomp son easily raised thirty or forty dollars. Yesterday when the case came up in court he was brought face to face with tbe old man. whose funeral expenses he had collected and appropriated to his own use. It turned out tbatjthe old man was not dead, and That Thompson had oper ated a nice little game of swindling. When be saw that all was up with him he wekkneed and entered a plea of guilty. Tbe Judge imposed an unconditional aen- Atlaxta Constitution: Brief men tion of the release of six prisoners from the stockade night before last wss made In yesterday’s Constitution. Since then tbe full particulars of the affair have been gathered. It seems that George Smith, Jack Dudley and Tdm Malone, three At- lenta boys, conceived an Idea ot releasing Griff McKnlglit and Sallie Sims, two white girls of questionable character, who were workiDg out fines imposed by the recorder. About 19 o’clock the three boys wentto the door of the building in which tbe prisoners sleep at night, and after knocking called to the guard to open the door. Before doing so, however, the guard, whose name is Johnson, demanded to know who-was outside. One of the trio said: “We have an order for a pris oner and want to get in.” Thinking the statement true, the guard unbarred tbe door and was in the act of opening it when tbe parties outside threw tbem- house. This frightened Johnson, and deserting his post he repaired at ouce to police headquaiters, where be reported the release. After John son left his post of duty the two opened tbe doors and released tbe two girls, and before leaving the prison gave Wilson Evans, Mack Clay, George Johnson and C*. M. Brown their liberty. Against Evaus and Johnson there are State cases, and warrants for tbeir arrest are at tbe station bouse, where they were awaiting the end of their term in the stockade. Soon after the release Brown was recaptured at the car shed, and early yesterday morning Johnson was found near a bar on West Peters street. The other four prisoners are yet at large, but a sharp watch is being kept for them. Neither of the parties who effected this release have yet been cap tured. Tom Malone visited police head quarters early vesterday morning and im parted what knowledge lie bad of the affair. to tbe station house keeper. He claimed that he was not concerned in the trouble, ffnd that he did all in his power to prevent tbe rescue. Soon after the prisoners bad betf’^eicased, Lula Craig, one of tbe prison^'who declined to ac cept the release, sa» ‘ One of the rescuers enter a cell, and mluV an eflort to lock him in, but was preT^.ted by hi: asso- ciates. Post-Appeal: To-daV’f’s a Post-Ap peal reporter stood upou§ ls ' e post-office steps fronting Marietta stij. a L paring his nails, and wondering wbP I something didn’t happen r. hicb he could give to tbe reading public, it occurredSoliiin to count the papers by for a few mi lutes. Forth with, therefore, he reckie tly spent one precious quarter of an bon iof his life in enumerating those who pa sed back and forth aloDg the inud-pavep-Marietta. In that short space of time, a&ording to the ruits of aritbmet’cal purgression, pro ceeding singulariter, 350 Iranian souls of every aue, sex, and complexion, and sixty vehicles ot all kinds, wended, their way u aloug tbe sidewalks and through the ^rmud between the custom house a id the capitol building. At the same rate in the course of a day of twelve hours 10,000 people- aud 2,880 vehicles daily pass aloug the street. Extending the cal culation still further, and taking to-day as au average (and it is scarcely above an average) 0,0-1 S,000 persons and 1,030,800 vehicles pass the Atlanta post-office in a year on one street. How many of these teams sink beneath the mire, and how many of this vast throng of foot passen gers are drowned in their efforts to cross the streets, the “menders of roads” will perhaps definitely ascertain when they be gin to clear away tbe slush preparatory to macadamizing tbe streets. Dawson Journal: On Monday night of last week an old, decrepit negro man fell by the wayside a short distance from town, and on the following day was found to be dead. A coroner’s inquest was held, and after a thorough examination concerning his demise a verdict was rendered to t[ie effect that he had died from old age and the exposure ofZte preceding night to the extreme cold weather. He was identified at the time as being one Killis Melton, .of Hard Money, but siuce the coroner’s in quest was held a letter has been received by Mayor I’iekclt from Hard Money, stat ing that Killis is “still in the land of tbe living,” and that the coroner’s jury was mistaken as to . the identity of tbe deceased Columbus Enquirer-Sun: An election was held in Harris county on Tuesday to decide tbe fence question. The vote at Hamilton precinct was 157 for “fence” and 33 for “no-fence.” The returns from the other precincts had not been made when we received our information, but judging from tha vote at Haidiiton the “fence” men have carried the day. About two months ago Mr. Thomas Pitts, of Waverly Hall, Harris couuty, to gether with a party of geatiemen, went to Florida, where he .purchased land, and expected to embark iu orange culture. Yesterday Tom was in Columbus en route to bis old home, having sold out his inter ests in Florida. Me says that auyone wlio desires to do so cau go to the “Land of Flowers,” but for himself he prefers old Georgia. Hawkinsville Sews: Mr. John A HoldeWowns the first grindstone ever brought to Ilawkinsvilie. It belonged to Aleck Holmes, the first carpenter who ever came to Hawkinsviile. Mr. Holder’s father, the Rsv. Wiley F. Holder, bought tbestoneaboutlS40 from Holmes. An inci dent in tbe life ot Holmes was his hilling of Amos Wingate, in Hawkinsviile, about 1830 or 1837. Wingate provoked a quar rel with Holmes, aud followed him to his shop, when Holmes struck Wingate with III* fist, bitting him in the stomach and killing him. Holmes was never arrested, as bis conduct was considered justifiable. Rome Courier : It was a matter of much surprise to tbe public yesterday morning when it was stated on the streets that T. J. Langley, manufacturer of and dealer in boots and shoes, had failed. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that he had made an assignment to Captain John M. Quinn on Tuesday night. The assign ment is for the benefit of all the creditors, there being nc preferences. Mr, Laugley’s liabilities asnouutto $0,000 and. assets $5,- 500. A large majority of the creditors live in Hew York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore. The assignee has taken charge of the assets and will turn them into cash as rapidly as possible. Columdus Times; On Tuesday morn ing tbe store and warehouse of tbe Messrs. Gibsou, at Mott’s mills, were burned, together with their stock of gen eral meicbandise. The main building was of stone, with a frame addition about ninety feet long. Messrs. O. H. Gibson, Wiley Gibson and John Lockhart were asleep in a shed room, and were awak ened about 1 o’clock a. m. by the suffo cating effects of the smoke which filled tbe room. They arose hastily to find tbe entire structure in flames, which were so far advanced that they were unable to enter the store room, aud only saved a small amount of clothing in the bedroom. Tbe books, accounts, and x large amount of notes with tbe entire stock were burned. Tbe stock was valued at $3,500. and the store and warehouse over $2,000. Tbe former was insured for $1,700 and the latter for $300. The loss falls heavily on the young men who had just gotten their business well established. Ho clue to the origin of the fire lias been discov ered, though ills thought to have b^n incendiary. Barnesvili.e Gazatle: Two Atlanta commercial travelers were left by the Thomaston train, Tuesday afternoon. Having nothing else to do at night they “raised the wind” at one of the barrooms in town, caused the barkeeper to apply for a search warrant, that their bodies might be Searched for a pistol and finally agreed to give Marshal Quilan $100 if bey did not appear before his Honor next morning. They appeared as they agreed and left a few cents over fifteen dollars to be added to tbe city treasury, and then went on their way rejoicing. We learn that a gentleman iu Bartles ville initiated a colored man as a servant last week. The negro was Instructed as one of the ft r st ordeis to make a fire in the grate In tlic parlor. He anned himself with fuel and proceeded to the parlor. After thoroughly examining the room for a fireplace in which to raise the fire, he discovered the open space it the organ oc cupied by tbe jjeddles, as tbe only thing a firep tence of twelve months upon tbe public wmblin* a foeplece. He fixed in tbe worts. ftwl and wee about to introduce the fire, when tbe gentleman who gave tbe order for the fire happened to walk into the parlor. We will not tell what ensued. Bex Russell bas been re-elected may or of Balnbridge. Savannah Sews: Yesterday morning tbe coroner was called upon to hold au inquest on tbe body of Olivia Peterson, colored, who had fallen dead in tbe yard of her house on East Boundary street, near Wheaton. Susan Rogers, colored, living iu tbe adjoining house, stated that her attention was attracted by the crying of a child in Olivia’s honse, and looking over tbe fence, she saw Olivia run into the yard and suddenly fall to the ground. On approaching her she discovered the womau was dead. The jury- rendered a verdict of death from hemorrhage of the heart. Savaxxah News: Jesse Williams, tbe negro who was convicted on the 14th of last December of the murder of Toby LaTk, the old colored watchman at Coak- ley & Jones’ wood yard, in Jdhe last, and sentenced to be hung on Monday next, the 10th Inst., bas made a full confession of his crime. He stales that be entered the wood office, assaulted Toby with a heavy bludgeon and knocked him 'down, and then beat him over tbe head, inflicting wounds which produced his death. Yes terday morning he was baptized, and hav ing relieved his mind by tbe confession, is now anxious for tbe day which will be his last on earth to dawn. He says he has repented, and desires to eDjoy as soon as possible the “blessed fruits of salva tion.” He talks quite freely to those who visit him in lm cell, but especially on re ligious topics. Several colored preachers have been to see him, aud he his relig ious advice nearly every day. The elec tion of the gallows will be commenced to-day, and the preparations for carrying out the mandates of the law will be com pleted before Sunday. The hanging, under the sentence of the court, is to be private, LaGraxge Reportert Recently a uian calling himself C. G. Adams, dtlds Ames, arrived in LaGrange, alter “doing” other communities, aud began a systematic “beating” of our people by representing himself as the agent for a long list of pa pers, takiDg subscriptions, pocketing the money and giving receipts signed by him self. It is estimated that he thus fraudu lently obtained about forty dollars. He would call at private houses, rightly sup posing that he would find more credulous victims there than on the streets. No papers artiviug, and a St. Louis journal liavjug posted him as an impostor, Marshal John R. Ware took the matter in hand. In the meantime, Adams fiad leit LaGrance, send ing bis trunk by train to Columbus and tramping through tbe country on foot, in order to gather in the shekels by tbe way- side. Marshal Ware telegraphed the facts to the Columbus police, who watched his baggage, and when the owner appeared promptly informed him that he was want ed. He wae delivered into tbe custody of officer Ware who, at his own expense, went aiter him aud brought him to Troup county jail on Tdfiday last. Eis trial, which was appointed for Wednesday, was postponed on account of the absence of His witnesses. Atlasta Post-Appeal: The first car load of grain was “elevated” by tbe At lanta Elevator Company yesterday after noon. A company of Atlanta business men bad assembled to witness the trial trip, aud were delighted with the working of the machine. Later, they assembled in the office of the company and par- Uxk of its hospitality. Mayor English proposed a toast, “To the success of At lanta’s first' elevator—continued pros perity to its projectors.” Tht? wa3 re sponded to by Judge Hoyt, president of the company; in a humorous yet apprecia tive little speech, * He called on Colonel Adair, who followed with a funny story about a female juetjee of tbe peace, In il lustration of tbe terra “remarkable,” as used respecting the elevator enterprise. Mr. Howell Jackson and Capt. Harry Jackson followed these, and were In turn supported by scattering speeches and sto rles until the dusky shades of evening be am to fail. ~ Ameiucus Recorder: Last Tuesday, as the afternoon mail train was entering this city going North, it met with an acci dent that seldom occurs to a train. It was just below the switch below the de pot, and was pulling in as swiftly and as easily as could be imagined, when, with out tbe slightest warning the last driving wheel cn tile right side dropped oil aud fell outlie grmind, striking it with a thud, and slnkiugiAntilthesurfaceof the ground al most covered it. Fortunately the train was stopped before any greater damage was done. It seems that the axle had bceu cracked for some time, and that the wear and strain on it had finally broken it off with the above result. There happened to be another englue behind, and the broken one was propped up aud pushed beyond tbe switch, so that the other one might get around with the coaches. As it was, the passeugers were delayed for some hours. Enquirer-Sun: The preliminary trial of Jotm Cox, charged with having fired the guardhouse at Hamilton, was begun on Wednesday. The testimouy In the case was concluded by Wednesday night, acd the arguments were made yesterday. Capt. L. L. Stanford represented the prosecution, and Col. James M. Mobley and Dugas Trammeli, Esq., the defense. Tbe court bad net rendered a decision when our informant left Hamilton, but it was thought that sufficient evidence ofthe guilt of the prisoner was brought out to authorize the court ia committing him to jail. Columbus Enquirer-Sun: “Yes; I take eleven weekly papers, and Lever failed yet to get my money’s worth out of them. I even got the worth of my money out cf the last year’s almanac I was tell ing you about.” Continuing tiie conver sation, lie said: “You can always tell who reads the papers. When I get off in the country with my trieuds m Harris and Tal bot and Marion, aud other counties, and when the girls and boys / get to talking, I can always tell if they read tbe papers. Hot only this but it is plain whether or not they read a paper that keeps up with the times. If a man is posted, and reads the papers, he can tell what paper these young folks read.” - Augusta Chronicle and Constitution- allst: If factories don’t pay in Augusta and vicinity, it will be difficult to find a place where they do. As an exemplifies tion of what they accomplish here, it may be stated that the directors of the Langley factory on yesterday declared a dividend of 12J per cent, to Its stockholders, from the earnings of the past six months. Where Is the factory at the North that can beat or begin to equal that? The factory made about §87,000 during tbe year 1881 on a capital stock of $400,000, and its div idends for that time were 20} per cent.— 8 per cent, in July aud 12} in January. Oglethorpe Echo: We learn that the company of Northern capitalists who were going to lend money in the South at aliviug interest on good security have backed out or failed to come up to wbat 111 y promised to do, and now refuse to let auyone have money od the best secur ity. Hamilton McWhorter, Esq., tbe agent at this place, lias had many applica tions for mouey, but has been compelled to refuse because tbe company failed to let him have it. Early County News: The passenger train from this place to Albany ran off tbe track at Ducker Station, on Thursday morning of last week. Nobody seriously hurt, though tbe eugineer, Mr. Ab Holt, was somewhat biuised. Five cars were ditched rnd the engine considerably dam aged. The accident was caused by a broken box in tbe tender. Railroad ac cidents have been common tbe past month. Jesup Senlinel: Dr. N. R. E. Mayer, of Cuthbert, contemplates establishing a lathing mill ill jr.sup. He says that •his mill has tbe capacity of turning out 38,000 laths per hour. This would add greatly to tbe enterprise of our town, and we trust that we shall soon see the mill in operation. He could not find a better place to locate his mill than at Jesup. It being a central point, be could very easily ship liis laths iu any direction, and ma terial from which they could be made is to be had In great abundance. Constitution: Mary Marshall, a small while passing down Gathoun street. The dog was In a yard when the child passed by and began striking at it with a stick. Tula maddened tbe brute, when he bounded over the fence and grappling the child by the throat bora it to the ground. Her shrieks attracted the attention of a colored man, who ran to her aid, and by pulling the dog away saved the child’s life. Her face and shoulders were badly lacerated by tbe brute. Some time ago au old brass kettle which had been in oue ot Atlanta’s oldest families tor generations back was stolen from its owners who reside on Pryor street.

Athens Watchman: There are two gentlemen now living in Athens whom common report connects with gelling a big slice of the Confederate money, taken from wagons in Wilkes. We talked with a party tbe other day who accompanied tbj wagons up to & day or so of the rob bery, aud he says there was ample oppor tunity to overcome the drivers and escape. The teams were ofieu separated, oue wagon dropping several miles behind tbe rest, and the guard could easily have driven into some cross-road, hid tbe treasure and made good their escape. The entire capi tal of the banks of Macon once passed through Athens, hut few knew what the wagons contained. Athens Watchman: At Town Hall, lying In the street, is a queer-looking old double-barreled camion, that is a source of wonder to passers-by, as no oue ever before saw a weapon of that peculiar make. This gun is the patent of au old gentleman named Gilleland, tbe father of our present clerk of council. The ravent- thought be had discovered a weapon that would revolutionize the mode of war, and he had this gun cast as an experi ment. His plan was this:'He moulded two barrels together and loaded them with shot linked together by a ciiain. He claimed that this shot would sweep down whole companies at a time and carry ail before it. When his trial gun was ca3t he invited his friends to witness the test. Selecting, an old field near this city, lie planted his cannon in it, and aimed his shot a^ a pine thicket through which be expected to clear a road at a single sweep of his deadly shot. But it not only proved a disastrous failure, but a dangerous experiment. There seemed not to be a good uudcrstauiiug between tbe two barrels, and one went oft in ad vance of tbe other. Hence one shot went forward while the "other went backwards, nairowly missing the bead of tLe daring man who undertook to touch it off. The gun was brought back to the city in dis grace and nolTurther use made of It until the late war, when it was mounted to do duty lathe event of Stoneman’s raid. When the Yankees came here they found the weapon, and not 'knowing its back- acting proclivities, spiked It with rat-tail files. Afterwards some of the boyjdrillcd out one of the touch-holes aud used it to fire Christmas salutes. Athens Watchman: While some hands on Mr. George T.

Pike County News: On December Washington, Jannary 12.—Tiie fol lowing letter aud card have been furnished for publication: , House of Representatives, Washington, ■D. C., January 9,1882—General S. G. Burbridge—Sir: Your letter, dated January 0, was handed me last night, and as I find it, with the accompanying ac counts, given to the public in this morn ing’s prints, I presume it was intended lor the £ublic,as its reception and my own must have been simultaneous. Now, sir, it is only with the personal phase of the issuo so far as it regards myself that I can deal. As you have abandoned that, I feel no longer any interest in your communications. As to your insinuations in regard to yellow fever, which you so gratuitously throw in to distract attention from what bad been said of yourself, all I have to say is that if with the proofs of which you profess to have knowledge (ot which 1 am ignorant) and which you re gard as ample, your courage ever enables you to formulate a charge and become responsible therefor, then will there be ample time left me to give it considera tion. Respectfully, J. C. S. Blackburn. TO THE rVBLXC. Washington, D. C., January 12, 1882. —A correspondence between Geu.Stepben G. Burbridge, formerly of Kentucky and now a citizen ot Pennsylvania, and my self, begun by him, has, through Ins in strumentality, been, obtruded upon tbe public attention. I regret this, but not because I have any reason to fear the judgment cf the public on the question in volved. For the soldiers ct the Union army, who respected the laws of honora ble warfare, I have no feeling but respect and appreciation of their manhood. Gcu. Burbridge i3 outside th ! s pale by reason of atrocities well kuown to tbo people of Kentucky, which bavo justly made him an outcast from a State where honorable men [have buried in honorable reconcilia tion the animosities of that unhappy pe riod. I share fully iu tbe detestation of General Burbridge and bis conduct which is entertained alike by Confeder ates aud Union men iu the State of Ken tucky, aud this feeling I have expressed on all proper occasions. The fact was made known to him, wneu ho Interro gated me as to inj utterances respecting him.- I refused to modify m? language and to accept his attempt at self-viudica- tiou. I gave him frankly this answer- His response is not an appeal to Hie usages by which gentlemen have been governed, but an attempt to retort by couuter-insutt. If this course is satisfac tory to General Burbridge and bis friends I cannot complain. I dismiss him to the enjoyment of any honor he may have ac quired by this effort to rehabilitate a rep utation which, resting as it does upon kuown facts of shameful personal history, cannot bo made worse by aught that I can now say against him, or improved by Ids own asseverations of Innocence and certificates of character. These are not required by gentlemen who have practiced a decent respect for the opinions of man kind. j. C. S. Blackburn. Washington, January 12.—The hear ing in tbo star route cases of Cabell, Minnix and JiiCkson was resumed in the Police Court to-day. Colonel Bliss opened tho proceedings .by saying that there had been an agreement arrlyed at between some of tbe defendants’ counsel snd the prosecuting officers to make this a test cose, in a ipanner- -that is, they would not talk upon any other of tiie suits until this was disposed cf in this ccuit. If after hearing the evidence in the matter the court was of tho opinion that there was no conspiracy, tbe prosecution would agree to let the other casc-s stand &d|ourned at tbe pleasure of the defense. “In the other event, of course,” said Col. Bliss, “we will push a vigorous prosecution.” It is understood that if the prosecuting officers fail of a committal in the police court, these same cases will be brought before tho graiid jury In some other way. CATLETrsnURG, Kv., January 13.— The court officers say tho graud jury will cease their investigation to-night or early in tiie morning, and the trial of the Ash land murderers will begin at once. An affecting interview took place between Ellis and his wife to-day. She entreated him no^to implicate Craft and Neal if they were not guilty. He solemnly assured her that his confession and statement were true, and said ho was ready to die, and would tell the wlioje truth. It Is thought Neal is about to confess. Tbo prisoners will be confined separately hereafter. Catlettsburg, January 13.—Tho graud jury reported a true hill against Ellis Cratt, Wm. Neal and George Ellis for tho murder of Fannie aud Robbie Gibbons, and Emma Carrico, alias Thom as, on the 23d of December last, at Ash land,''Kentucky Three indictments were found against Neal and Craft, as aidiug and abetting and conspiring to murder tbe three persons named. Three indict ments were also found against Geo. Ellis individually. Craft’s trial is set for next Monday, Neal’s for Tuesday, and Ellis’ for Friday. Tho troops still remain to guard the prisoners. There is great ex- ciicmunt amoDg the people, but no vio lence is feared. New York, January 14.—The express from Chicago to New York reached Al bany twenty-three minutes late yesterday afternoon. Owing to the great crowd of legislators and others who desired to leave tLe capital, fifteen additional cars were put en, eight of them being palace coaches. Two extra engines were also attached and the train got under way. It was tilled with men of note and promt neuce of both the Republican and Demo cratic parties, .including almost tho entire New York city, Brooklyn, Long Island and" Staten Island delegations In both branches of the Legislature, Jwhicli had adjourned over till Monday. At Spuyten Duvll the tram became disabled, owing, apparently, to the failure on tiie part of the river flagman. The engineer ofthe Tarrytown, special, which follow ed at an interval of a few minutes, knew nothing ofthe danger until he was al most upon tho disabled train and running at high speed. The two rear drawing room cars were telescoped aud immedi ately caught fire from the overturned stoves and lamps. Some of the passengers were caught in the wreck and burned to death. 'The wounded were promptly csred for, and Scattered among tbe houses in the vi-inity ami iu hospitals. About ioity were more or less injured. Accounts vary as to the number of killed, but four bodies were recognized and five were burned beyond recognition. The recoguized dead are Senator Webster Wagner; E. L. Ran som, of tbe Hoffman House; Park Valen tine, of Bennington Vt., and wife; Oliver P. Kellogg, of Philadelphia; a man sup posed to be Rev. F. Marshal, a book of sermons bearing that name being found in bis effects, and Miss Maud Brown, of New York. The railroad officials say the cause ot the stoppage of the tram was a derange ment of tbe air-brakes. As soon as tbe train was stoppad the roar brakemau, named Meiines, was sent back with the danger signal to warn other trains,aud had time enough to go back half a mile,-but teems to have gone but a short distance. He disappeared immediately after the accident aud bas not siuce been seen. Tbe body supposed to be that of a clergy man, is now supposed to be that of Father Marshall, a Catholic priest of Troy.

A gentleman in another room awoke Friday morning to find his wallet and papers scattorod over the floor, but he does not know how much money he had. Mr. Dave Cromeline happened to have a largo sum of money in his pockets, bat for tunately took tho precaution to bolt the door and thus saved his wealth. Other doore were also bolted and thus escaped tho raid. Tho matter has been placed in the hands of a detective, who will no doubt run down tho profesional who so cleverly succeeded in replenishing his purso at the expense of tho guests of tho Lanier. •A LIVELY CHASE DAltHV’S PROPHYLACTIC FLUID. * Small Smali-Po Eradicated ContHgionclestroyeir Sick rooms purified and made pleasant.

The “him” was no other than tbe notorious Sam Mack, the outlaw, whose capture hns been the ambition of tho boys in gray for months. Of conrso tho announcement created a sensation in court, and the boys took firm hold of their billies and quietly slid out of the court room. To get into lino was the work of a secood, and then away they sped out in tho direction of tHo Brunswick depot, fol lowed by a rapidly swelling crowd of boys, who knew something oxtraprdu*'—MjiVas up. AU Friday night Officers Ellison and Bailey had roamed over Tybco and that section of tho suburbs, and early yesterday morning spotted their man. He had spent the night in a house about five hundred yards from tho switch-hcuse, and the faith ful watchers had by coming found it out. Tho gave him a lively chase for an'hour, and then Bailey went to the Georgia Mills and telephoned the message given abovo. Fearing that Lieut. Wood did not receive the mossago, ho copie farther into town and met the posso going out. . | In Ihe meantime Ellison was watching Sam’s movements, b5t tho officer was be ing as closely watched by Sam’s friends, and when one of them saw Ellison alone, and knowing that he dare not tackle Sam eingie-handod, he went over to the house and told the outlaw that if ho wanted to get away now was tiie time. Sam was seen to come out of the house, shoulder Tiis gun and call his con stant companion, a small white dog. Then with n look in tbo direction of Ellison, he walked'to the railroad and huiried on his way. Ho passed the ico factory about tho time tho polii e squad struck tha railroad, and here the chaso began. Officers Mos9ly and Murphy look tho turn around tho fac tory, going right into the swamp, pistol in hand, and fally determined to bring him in, dead or alive, should they fasten their peepers on hinr.' Officers Yaeger and Brown took through the field this side of the factory and skirmished along tho wood skirting. Officers Moore and Goodro soon came up with shot-guns, bat tho chaso was over. Mostly and Murphy, both made of ths best grit, plunged right into tho mud and w-vter of the swamps acd searched every clump of cane that might serve as ambush for the fugitive, bet'failed to find any trace of him. They wore not prepared for any thing more than a short chasv, olso .they would have undoubtedly brought h'm in. He had tho advantage of fifteen min- "utos time ahead and made good use of it. Hundreds of negroes of every size con gregated about tho junction, and about a dozen men found it necessary to take thoir shotguns along on sudden bird-bunting ex peditious, but the officers were well heeled for any emergency, and much blood would have been spilt had any attempt been made to rescue Sam. He bae a number of close friends who see nothing wrong in - his crimes, aud regard ail attempts at his cap ture as outrages. Sam ia wanted on five bench warrants, three for burglary, one for assault with attempt to murder, Bnd one for jgciling a riot. He lives by stealing and bas been a renegade for years. He often shoulders his gun and walks into the suburbs, boasting that no Macon policeman can take him, and that he will kill every one of them on sight. It is probable that he will remain out of town now for a few weeks, until yester day’s sensation subsides, and then he will make one of his bulldozing visits.. The polioe have nothing to gain iu his capture, except to satisfy ambition and to bring him to justice, and the citizens hayo nothing to gain by risking their lives in his capture. A little reward would soon bring him in town either os a conquered desperado or a subject for a coroner's jury’s inquost. Guilty of Wrong.
