Na iiyille, Tenn., January 19.—[.S,.eci*\ ]— AJiorriblc discovery was made hero tonight which Will probably bring to light one of the most atro. Clous crimes ever conjraltted. Hell’s Half. Acre lit a long been the rendczvoua of the worst criminal rlasces. and nightly fights occur there. foadiu? through Hell’f Half Acre to northwest Nashville Is A narrow street, called Helleville, extremely muddy In rainy weather and at places almost Impassable. One of the worst places is adjoining Jim Mason's tannery, which is separated from the street by a low brick wall, and Inside which tanbark is piled to the top of the wall. Passers-by Jump over the wall and walk on the bark to avoid tire rand, lugcne Holt, a workman at the Chattanooga rail- yoad yards, was going home tonight, and was walk Ing on the bark, when he stumbled over some thing. and stooping In the darkness caught hold of A clammy human hand. Hastily striking a match, he saw a naked arm. And, pulling It np. found It was separated from the Jody. He at once raised an alarm, and an excited find curious crowd gathered, with lanterns, spadea and forks, and began a search for the body. One memW rafter another was uncovered in various Apots, until seven horrible remnants were found, All the body except the head. A prolonged search failed to find the head. Tho murderer had backed the body to pieces with an Axe, cutting off the head, both arms, both legs, and cutting each leg in two at the knees. The work Was fearfully done, and the fragments burled at various joints in the tanbark, and well covered. The dye from the wet bark had so discolored the Akin that whether It was a mulatto or a white could not be ascertained. The ghastly remains were moored to the coroners, where an in vestige- linn will be held tomorrow. There is no clue to Ihe murdered man’s Identity, all clothing having |>eeii removed, and the jolice and detectives are Jmsy Hying tosolve the mystery. After the corouer left, the excited crowd con tinued searching 'for tho head, many declaring they would hnnt all night, so as to find the head And identify the remains. At a late hour lanterns were flashing everywhere, and the search pro ceeding. Around the wrist of one arm was a strong rope, end tho bruised. lacerated condition of the Timid hliowcd that the body had been dragged aomo distance, while the swollen appearance of the imidc of the hauds indicated a tierce struggle With the assailant. Nashville, Tenn., January 10.—[Special.]— IThero ha* been'intense interest manifested all Clay in the horrible mystery of yesterday's ilnding of the seven fragment* of a human body, hewed apart with an ax and hurled In Masoti'b old t&nvard. The head is still missing, 1hough hundreds have sought for it and dug every part of the lot where the other pieces were found. Tho coroner's inquest, Bet for last Tuesday morning, was postponed until that night, nml again until Wed nesday night to wait for some evidence as to the identity of the victim. The arms were washed and pronounced a white mail, not a mulatto, and on tho arms were found tattoo roaik?. which may aid in identification. On the light arm is a group of onihlcins of secret orders, a Masonic square and compass in the centi r, the G. A. R. above and O. It.

Upon examination of the right hand of tho dead man was found,withip tightly clonchcd Augers,o tuft of hair, which proved to bo that of a negro, it is supposed pulled from the head of the murderer Sn tho death struggle. Twenty-five yards from where the remains was found is a small empty Ahanty of bad repute. This was broken open, And n i«ir of pantaloons, a deck of cards, a tuft of hair and a Derby hat found. After Aho house was broken open, two of the crowd, JThey won disappeared, but aro known to livo 5u the neighborhood and will be closely watched. Nashville, Tenn., January 20.—[Special.] eh by hundreds of Tho most persistent people has failed to hr go tin mutilated body found Monday, and tho > bring up tho missing hoad jdy found Monday, and tho interest has grown greater than ever, as the mystery still persists in remaining a mystery. Almost by daylight the crowds began to be- Eiege the undertaking establishment where the ghastly remains sre, uud all day lines of peo ple passed in and out. Cine after cltio to the identity of the unknown was followed out to failure, and absolutely nothing is known now ghat was not known when tho remains were first found. One man, of mnch experience, M. 8. Combs, undertaker, advocates the theory that the remains aro those of tv cadaver brought by some ignorant body snatcher to the medical college, cut up for easier carrying and rejected by tho college,, ex cept tho head, which aloue could be used for direction, and for which a dollar or two was paid. This would explain the abscuec of the head, nud also the ropo around tbo wrist, which was Used in draggf body from the grave. Physicians wn geen the body disbelieve this, as the body is ghat of a healthy, muscular man, weighing about two hundred pounds, and the flesh doss not ebow marks ot dfecoao. In Hell’s half acre gho I t lief is so general that the man was mur dered by a woman, as to indicato positive knowledge somewhere, but the i>eople are found together in lawlessness so as to prevent the getting of any information. ITbc ct-mmon version is that a woman killed And roldicd him on the night of January 0th, n bitti r cold night, when shrieks were heard for half an hour near the scene of the discov ery »f the remains. AH, however, is surmise. The matter will be investigated further. The coroner’s jury still having uo evidence look a further adjournment. A close examination at midnight leads to tho general belief that the head has been burned, ss marks on one of the legs, at first be lieved to bo caused by decay, proved to have been the result of fire. It is now believed that ghc murderer chopped up the body with the Idea of burning it, but alter burning the head, nnd attempting to burn the leg, was forced to sbaudou his purpose, and taking the leg from the fire, buried the remaining portions, where they wore found.

Roily Ejtjii Expiate* the Murder or Sir, Hobson ami Assault of Mrs. Dobsou. Vikceknfa, Ind., January 18.—Holly Epps, the murderer of farmer Dobson, has expiated his terrible crime at the hands of Judge Lynch. About 12:30 this morning, a crowd of masked men, numbering from twenty to thir ty, carrying sledge-hammers and various other implements, wereseen marching through the suburbs of the city down Sixth street towards the jail. Their masks were nothing hut bandana handkerchief*, hut the face was so carefully covered that identification was impossible. They marched steadily and si lcntly to the courthouse yard. Here they saw two policemen. The leader of tho gang approached those officially, and peremp torily ordered them to gj home. The police meu disappeared as if by magic. Stationing masked sentinels at each corner of the jail yard, tbe greater part of the gang entered the yard, and walked stealthily up toward the IKtttico of the sheriffs residence. Not a sound could be heard save the shuffling of a score of feet. The lynchers stood back, while the leader knocked again and again, but received no response. Finally, however, with louder rapping and fiercer calling, Sheriff Seddte- meyer was aronsed, nnd coming to the door, called out from within “Who’s there?” “We want yon to open the door and let us in. Wc are friends aud want to get in. We want to see yon,” answered the lead cr, in calm nnd steady tones. “1 can’t let you in ton! cldcdly answered the shei “But we must get In,” said the leader. “Wo propose to have the black carcass of the nigger who murdered poor old Farmer Dobson, up iu Green epunty, and if you don’t let us in wo will get in any how.” “You can’t come in hero,” spoke tho sheriff determinedly, “and if you try to break in you will violate tho luws and lay yourselves liable to criminal prosecution.” “Well, here goes then,” at last decided tho lendor. “Boys, get ready.” At these words “Umg” went a great sledge hammer against the door. In two or threo hits tho door was smashed to spliuters and literally knocked off its hinges. Entering tho hallway, tho lynching party struck n light, rjiehcd into tho parlor, grabbed Sheriff Hcddlcmeycr and pushed him into an acUoin- ing room, slammed tbo door iu his face, and puffly ordered him to keep quiet nnd stay in liis room. The lynchors mode for tho hugo iron doors and commenced their work of bat tering them down. This was a most difficult task, and fialf an hour elapsed before they mic- moniouslyjcrkcu mm rrom ms bca. isppe yelled and howled like a maniac nt tho first sight of the strong men who hadcomo to take his life, but a blow in tho mouth silenced him. It was hut the work of a moment to drag him outside, and he was soou hauglng from the limb of a tree in tho yard, tho rope around his neck stifling his cries as ho won hurled into eternity, lie died iu u few minutes after being strung up.

A photographer ar rived onthesccno at daybreak, and photo graphed: the body. Hundreds of people anting tbe early hours of the morning visited the body. Men, women and children looked on tho horrible spectacle without evincing tbe slightest emotion or expressing a feeling of re gret. Epp’s crime was the killing of James Dob son, a farmer residing near Solsfory, Orccno county, twelve miles from Bloomfield, Ind., on tbe night of January ll. Early in the eve ning Mrs. Dobson had been hearing Epps try to read a chapter in the Bible, as a reward for , - ~ ~ - . ■ which achievement Mrs. Dobson had promls- four years of nge.

They pallet in the same room near the fire. A lit tle after midnight Mrs. Dobson was awakened by n blow, and saw Fops standing over her. She turned to wake her husband, bnt ho was dead, having been killed by a blow from an ax. Tho negro started to jump into tho lady’s bed, hut she re- A thrilling nnd sensational telegram was received iu Atlanta over tbe Western Union wires early Saturday morning. The telegram came from tho Hon. John H, Wikle, mayor of Cartersville. It was brief but suggestive of a horrible, bloody crime. It was addressed to Chief Connolly, and read: Send by fltri train two bloodhounds, aud a good man with them, at the expense of the city of Car- tcrsville. THE CAUSE OF TELEGRAMS. On Friday night about twonty-eight min utes after ten o'clock, when uearly everybody in Cartersville was either aaleen or courting sleep, n most terrific and dcafeuiug explosion occurred. The earth scernod to fairly shake, and tbo houses in the central portion of the town rocked to and fro on their foundations as though an earthquake bad visited tlio place. Window glass rattled in their fastening while doors overcame the resistance of loci and (lew opcu. The report waq quick, sharp and loud. It was heard for an almost in credible distance and awoko tunny who were not disturbed by the shock. Almost bef* the noise had died away half of the town w< sitting up in bed rubbing their eyes and trying to realize what had happened. Soou after the report, catno THE TEURIRLE SIIRIRKH OF A LADY fls ifiu great distress, and quickly half tho town was on the street. Tho night was n bright, cloudless one, and as men left their warm, pleasant homes, they could see others making their way towards the residence of tho Hon. Aaron Collins. United States commissioner nnd member of tho town council Following tho direction thus indi cated, a largo crowd was soon scattered about tho building* or rather what was loft of the building. And this is what they saw: The front porch looked as though a north eorght cyclone, in full strength, had struck . The railing was gone while a hole in tho >or showed its wide, gaping mouth as though ready to swallow tiuythiug. Tho roof of tho porch LOOKED LIKE AN ARTILLERY BATTERY had been pout iug shell into it for an lionr, and the shiuglcs were scattered about liko a whirlwind had been playing with them and they were chaff. The front door of tho residence was standing wido open. Tho window shutters wero hanging by one hinge, whilo tho w indow glass were conspicuous only in their absence. The wratherhoardiug was shattered and splin tered until the front of the liouso looked liko it had been built.out of woodon toothpicks The picture was a distressing one. Jnsido tho house everything was dark and ciulot. Outside everybody was anxious ^and silent. Evidently SOMETHING TERRI RLE IIAD OCCURRED, but how terrible uo ono knew. Finally a noiso was heard in tho house, nud then in an instant almost a bright, quick flush was sccu through nn open window. Tho Hash grew into a blazo and the blazo revealed to tlioso out tide tbe form of Judgo Collins ns he marched across the floor with n hunting match in his hand to inly to a lamp. On tho bed they saw Mrs. Collins, a most estimable lady, almost in convulsions. The plastering was all oil' tho wall, nnd to gether with pieces of laths, wero scattered all over tho bed nnd about the lady, whoso roans nnd prayers touched the most obdurate icart present. On tho front porch near tho largo hole was found *T1IK BLACK TRAIL OF POWDER it lead tip to tho hole. At tho edgo of the hole tho trail disappeared. Then a careful scrutiny showed a pfeco of a cap, such ns If uerd in exploding dynamite. Everybody present united in behoving that. Tobo Jackson, a man afout tho town, was ro- •oosibio for tho crime, nud after looking at e ruins for a short timo tho crowd sought Judgo Fain, nnd after laying tho caso before him asked for a warrant for Tobo Jackson. Tho warrant was issued aud tho sheriff with a posse started to hunt Jackson. WHY JACKSON WAS SUSPECTED.

Then, with another desperate effort,Epps caught her by the hair,dra from tho bed over tho dead man, am knife in his band threatened to kill her if sho did not submit to his passion, all tho timo hold ing her by tbe hair. A fearful struggle fol lowed, a handful of hair being torn from her bead by the demon. Eppe, in trying to get another hold, dropped his knife. This was Mrs. Dolmon’a opportunity, and with desperate effort she snatched the weapon and kept him at bay. He picked up a chair and started for her again, but the woman still re sisted, all the timo begging him to go away, as tbe neighbors were coming and would catch him. Finally tho wretch thought of hia own safety nnd left the house. He walked fifteen miles in tho cold that night, hut a search party followed him and he was arrested next day and lodged in Bloomington (Ind.) jail. When arrested Epps admitted the crime he was charged with, but claimed he was asleep when he committed it and did not know what he was doing. Cure of Pleurisy. 90 Main Stbeet, Gloucester, Mam., April ltf, 1885. Allcock’s Porous Piasters have been used in our family for the last three or four years witn very fouefleial results. Previous to that time I bad been subject to attacks of a severe paiu in my left side. Hot cloths add liniments afford ed temporary relief, but after a while tbe pain always returned. In the fall of 1880, after a very sevcib attack, l was advised by a friend to try an Allcock’s Porous Plaster on my side which greatly benefitted. me. After that I tiled several kinds of plasters to see which was tho best, and finally decided that AUcock’s suited my case tbe best. 1 have worn them constantly on my side ever since, and hare never, been troubled with the pain, except when I left them off for a few days. We alway keep a supply in the house, and whenever a pain seizes any of us, in any psrt of tho body we just apply an Allcock’s Piaster, and can most heartily recommend them. James Pettigrew.

He fought two or threo bottles full, Jrad had a good time. Afout ono o’clock In tho day ho entered Jackson’s blind tiger for another bottlo full. Jacksou gave up tho liquor, and Bagwoll gave up a TWENTY DOLLAR GOLD PIECE thinking that it was a dollar and wont out. Boon after leaving the no eyed tiger Bagwoll disco ved his mistakeund going hack demand ed his money. Jackson boldly denied Bag well’s statement afout the twenty nnd draw ing a pistol ordered Bagwell out. Bagwell went out swearing he would havo revenge. He went before Judge Collins, and sworo out a warrant charging Jackson with violating tho revenue law. Whilo hiding out he made arrange mi nts with Dr. T. II. Baker and If. J. Galt to go on a fond for him, and then gavo hi >nsell up. Judge Collins fixed the bond nt $80U, and Jackson was released. His preliminary trial was fixed for Monday last. Ou that day the trial esme up, and Bagwell, the prosecuting witness, was on hand. The evidence against Jackson was conclusive, and Judge Collins re quired him to give a bond to tbe United 8tates court in the sum of $300. lie gave this bond, and AFTER THE TRIAL MET BAGWELL on the street. When the witness and the de fendant came together, Jackson asked: “Bagwell, what did you swear to a lie for?” “I did not” mid Bagwell. “You lie, you did,” said Jackson. “Yon are another.” replied Bagwell. Jacktoin was always ready for a fight, drink or frolic, and ns soon as Bagwell said “yon aro another,” made for him. Bagwell drew a pistol, but Was afraid to ehoot and backed away. Name one grabbed Bagwell and tboo Jack-on struck him A FEARFUL BLOW OVER THE HEAD with a stick. Jackson was arrested and that evening tried before the mayor for fifth ting, t fined nnd paid the fine. On Tuesday before Judge Collins that day for trial and during the trial saw that everything was against* him. He watched his chance and skipped out of the courthouse before tbe case was concluded. On Wednesday morning ho was aecn near town, armed with a double bar rel shotgun, and later in the day.sent a mes sage to town asking Judge Collins to come out to see him. The fudge did not go. That even ing the judge was informed that he would suffer If he didLnot let tip on Jackson. JACKSON COMES TO TOWN, On Friday tho marshal of tho town went into the country. Jackson learned the fact and afout dark made his appearance on the Greet*. Ife bad a talk with .some friends and later in the night patronized a shooting gal lery where he remained until ten o’clock or a few minutes after. The gallery is run by two young ladies and when they closed Jackson walked out. They went two blocks one wty to tbe hotel and just as they reached the hotel they heard the report. Judge Colli ms house was nearly os far from the shooting gallory as tho hotel to which the young ladies went. The sheriff went to Jackson’s father's home .smile and a half from town, hoping to find Jackson there. This waa afoot midnight. W he it they reached the place Jackson was there, hut he anticipated their comiug, 1 springing out tho back door, made a bold for freedom. Several of tho pursuing party raw him ami a dozen shots were fired, hut Jackson cither bore a charmed life or bis 9kiu wr» hard euough to turn the balls and Uo es caped. The searchers watched all night and hunted all night. Afout daylight, they detected Sam Jackson as he was trying to crawl into the house and arrested him. Mayor Wikle called a meet ing of tbe town council and that body decided to have the Atlanta detective and blood hounds. Detective Simpson reached Cartersvlllo at 3.30, aud at enre glanced over tho field. Thou with n score of men armed with shotguns, he led hfs blood bounds to the Jackson homo. The dogs seemed to know that something un usual wus up. They were taken to the place where Jackson was last seen, nnd the col lars unbuckled. As Detective Simpson began unstrapping the collar the dogs begai to grow restless. They whined nud shook; the; jumped and pranced, and when the stra dropped from their necks they set up a terri hie howl. “Here,” said Detective Kiuipsou to tho dog*, as he placed his foot on the spot where Tobo Jackaou was last seen, The dogs canto to him. Ho plncod his hands on (heir heads, spoke kindly to thorn. They put their * “ detective said: “Go!” In an in riant two months opened, and a ter rible noise, more like a howl than n bark, came forth, aud tho dogs were gono. Tho de tective sprang into tho saddle, slapped his stmrsto tho horse, nnd oil' lie went. The chase was then begun. Cartersville has never known nn cxcHcmont equal to the prcscut. Every l*ody is anxious. No one knows who will fo tho next victim to tho terrible destructive agency. More than a year ago some ono exploded a dynamite cart ridge on a hill near tlio city. This was fol lowed by another on the opposite aide of tlio . town. Then another nnd another explosion occurred, until the good people paid no attention to them bemuse no damage was dono. Filially, however, tho dynamiters (flowed the top or rather a part of tho top of a warekouso off. Then they knocked the Bov. Bam Jones’sstahlo into» cocked hat. Tho )tcop!e becamo con vinced that some of tho wont dement in tho anti prohibition crowd was doiug tho dyna- mitq work for nn effect. The bloodhounds have been running his track without a rest for more than twonty- four hours. Unless Jackson can secure a horso or reach a train ho will soon fo under arrest. When Detective Bimpson unlaslicd tho dogs about four o’clock Saturday evening, tlioy jumped tbo trail in less than a minute uud were oft* like a streak of lightning. Tho pur suers rode behind the dogs until dark, ntul then began dropping oil'oik Detective Simpson and A FEW MEN CONTINUED THE CHASE until Into in tbo night, when a short rest was indulged in. Tho horses were fed, tlio dogs cared for comfortably, tlio men nto something, nnd then tho chase was resumed. During tlio dark hours tho progress was not so flno ns during tho day. After midnight another halt was culled, aud then about day the chase was resumed. Before the dogs had run tho track an hour yesterday morning they began to toll the detective that the trail was growing freshor. Of course, no ono but a person acquainted with tho habits of a blood hound know what tho dogs meant by their actions. Detective Simpson, however, knew that THEY WERE GAINING ON THE FUGITIVE, nnd pusblug his tired horse un kept close upon I ho dogs. The dogs trnvellod rapidly ovor broken fields, fences, ravines, nml through woods, uud kept it up until after dark last night; at that hour The Constitution corral- the field, aud when ho loft the Jpg called off for a short rest, ig tho field The Constitution asked Detective Simpson what ho thought of the chanees of capturing Jackson. “ Good,” ho answered ns ho munched nt picco of corn bread and fut meat. “Why?” Why?
