The most important case tried Wits that of the statu vs. Sam Tison, colored,ehaigvd with the murder of Emanuel Wimbush, a young colored man ubout eighteen years old. The killing look place in November, 18.su. upon the plantation of 11 H. Singletary in Schley county. Tlson???s daughter, a young woman, had struck Wimbush'.* sister, a girl eleven or twelve years of age. and Wimbush had resented it by siriking her assailant witli his list and a piece of fence rail, fisi i daughter complained lo him of the injury re ceived, and he went down to where Wimbush lived to punish him. The two men met at the fence in front of the house, Wimbush armed nil', an ax and Tison with his pra-k et knife. Wimbush made a blow with the ax which struck the fence. There was a difference of opinion among the witnesses as to whether he struck at Tison or not Ti-on caught the ax. wrenched it from his opponent's grasp and threw ii behind him, and then grasping the youth with his left hand commenced cutting Idin with the knife in his right hand. Wimbush sniggered und fell be neatli tlie deadly blows, and then Tison, beut upon completing his horrible work, jumped over the fence and stabbed the prostrate man again. \Vim- busli expired in a few moments???his body being horribly cut in several places. Tlie trial attracted a great deal of attention???the court house being crowded with people. The defendant was ably de fended by Fort A Simmons, and tlie slate was well represented by Colonel C. B. Hudson. The jury found the prisoner guilty ami recommended that he be imprisoned in the penitentiary for life. Et,aEKToN,nCieUiber9.???Yesterday about lo'clock in tlie afternoon a loud noise was heard here, and in a few minutes a messenger arrived with the in formation that the boiler at the gin house and saw mill of Mr. William H. Joi.2*, si;u;"c'\ about aPI mile east of this place, had J-IQMC .??? i, killing a lit tle son of Hr- Jones. Drs. a. C. and D. A. Mathews, accompanied by a number of citizens, hastened to the start. Arriving there, a horrible scene met their view. Little Clifford, a bright and beautiful boy about eight years old, second son cf Mr. Jones, was standing somewhere near the furnace when the ex plosion occurred. It seems tiiat one of the iron doom of the furnace struck liis neck and cut his head snnroth oil at iris shoulders. His body was blown about fifteen feet from where he was stand ing and his head about forty yards farther. An other little son of Mr. Jones escaped death it seems almost miraculously. He was standing nearer tlie engine Ilian tlie one that was killed. He received an Ugly cut on tlie bead, which at first ivos thought to be fatal, but Was afterward found to be only a llesh wound. Harvey Morrism, Colored, who was running the engine at the time, hail one arm aud both legs Icrribiy mangled, besides being badly scalded. There art- no hopes of liis recovery. Al fred Jones, colored, had some of ids ribs broken, and was otherwise injured. Mr. J. E. Campbell had little son slightly injured, and a mule ruined, ho boiler was blown some eighty or a hundred yards, and everything around it was blown clear away. The explosion was supposed to have been caused from allowing the water to get too low in the boiler. Mr. Jones was absent at the time of the accident. He is a worthy and enterprising citizen, ami he and his wife have the sympathies of tlie en tire community in their sad bereavement. Since writing the above the negro Harvey Morrison lias died.
