Miss Lizzie Floyd King, who is

on the envelope were wrought in
the same way. She resorted to
this method in order to carry out
her purpose, inasmuch as the in
mates are prohibited from having
either pens, ink, paper, knife or

as a petition, asking that the “Con¬

a pistol on the grave of his wife, in
Holy Cross Cemetery, on the Hart¬

circumstances of the act were pecu¬

Fatal Accident.
Last Friday a rnre hut and acci¬
dent occurred at Zebulon. Young
Frank Harrison had been arrested
by Sheriff Bussey and Bailiff Jack
son and brought to Zehulon to be
tried for bastardy. While the
court was getting ready for trial
a brother of voting Harrison secured
a horse and placed him near the
prisoner without the bailiff detect¬
ing his purpose. When an oppor¬
tunity offered Harrison leaned on
the horse and attempted to make
his escape. Bailiff Jackson mount¬
ed his horse and pursued him,
Harrison getting a considerable
start of the bailiff. In his desire to
speed the horse, he pressed him
too hard over rough road, and the
horse fell to the ground, at the
same time falling on the rider and
so injuring him that he died in a
short time afterwards. This was
the second arrest for the same
offense, the unfortunate mother
having consented to dismiss the
proceedings in case he would agree
to help her support the child. He
agreeing to do this, the ease was
dismissed. His failure to comply
withi the agreement was the cause
of his arrest last Friday. Rumor
has gone out that Bailiff Jackson
struck the prisoner on the head and
killed him. We have it from the
best authority that there is not a
P; irticl ° of truth in the rumor,
since Jackson was a considerable
distance behind the prisoner w hen
the horse fell on him.—AV.
The Republicans started off in

Terrible Storm.
Never have we witnessed such a
thunder storm as our c'ty was
visited with last night. It came
up about 10 o'clock, and for one
hour ragged with terrific fury.
During the thunder storm the
rain did not fall very heavy, but
afterwards came down in torrents.
A gentleman, and an old soldier
stopping at the Barnes house,
speaking of the storm, said to our
reporter: “I have been under
heavy cannonades, and I witnessed
the bombardment of Fort Sumter,
but none of these could compare
with that grand display of heaven’s
artillery last night Though send
ing terror to the hearts of all, one
could not help but recognize the
awful and magnificent grandeur of
the occasion. With -a force that
shook the largest buildings and
seemed to make the very earth
tremble, and terrific peals of thun¬
der would burst forth and roll
along the firrrianent, muttering like
the roar of a hundred cannons,
while the constant flashes of light
ning gave to the black clouds the
appearance of being one lurid flame
of electricity. The lightning tore
a hole , , some ten , feet r . deep i and i r five
wide, in the ground near the color
ed Baptist church, and killed icar
two hundred English sparrows
roosting close by. It also gave
Mayor Wright’s residence a passing
salute, tearing off a couple of pieces
of weather hoarding from the side.
The rain flooded several cisterns.—

The following of group modern of f.icts sug¬
gests the extent progress:
Since 1850 the hanking of the
United Kingdom has grown to
three times its size. The national
expenditure of Europe at the end
of roundly the Napoleonic 240,000,000 wars can sterling. be stated
as It
now reaches 700.000,000, nearly
treble. Down to 1859 the United
States Central imported Illinois wheat Railwav occasionally ;
the nmv
conveys daily 80,000 bushels oi
grain for exportation. Agriculture
has been more improved b, this cen¬
tury than in the twelve hundred
years preceding it.
Mrs Hi'Xana Rhodes, seventy years
old, living on a short thoroughfare
between Henson and Van Rensselaer
streets, known found as Brooks alley, in
Cohoes, was dead at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. o’clock Mrs. Rhodes
was last seen nt 6 on Satur¬
day night by Mrs. Brown, a neigh¬
bor, who loaned her an axe with
which to chop wood. Some hours
a terward a son of the deceased
woman noticed the kindling wood
scattered about and an axe lying on
the stairs. The circumstances was
not of sufficient imports! ice to sllj
gest followi an investigation. During lady the
g morning the old was
noticed by several persons rilling
by the window in a rocking chair,
with her bat on and bolding in her
hand a fan. Not having changed
her position for hours, the sus¬
roused. picions of Upon Larry Martin were a

that the old lady was dead.
The opinion of Dr. Billings is that
death was caused by heart disease

On Thursday evening at about
three o'clock a very severe storm
passed over our city accompanied
with lightning and heavy thunder,
the r.iiii fell in torrents, and the

The court house was struck in two
places tearing up a fw roof brick and
melting the tin on the where it
