Aa horrible a murder aa the criminal recoi
of (icorgla contain was committed In this
county yesterday abont sundown, in a thicket
on (Jeorgo Vinson’s plantation. Tho terriblo
hand of suspicion points to Frank Humphries,
of this county, aa tho murderer, and ho re now
safely locked up in the jail in this city, haring
been arrested by Nhcriir C. W. tlnnis this
afternoon on tha spot where tho horrible deed
was eommlttod. Novernl witnesses were ex
amined by Coroner Mcott and, with the excep
tion of haring heard tho jrnn abuts, tho testi
mony of only two of them Is germane to tho
crime.
Mn.Ocorgla Unities testified before tho coro
ner that alio spent last night at Frank Hum
phries's house; that ho waa not there, and
that he only came homo this morning about
breakfktl time. Ho waa wet and muddy, had
blood on hla wrlatbands. hat and shirt collar,
and that be nude a statement to her, the nub-
stance of which ia given Mow In Frank
Humphries’s ataUmcnt.
To your correspondent he raid:

gun and fired both barrels at one of tho asaaa-

trying to reload, I swooned away and knew
no more until about two o'clock this morning
when the warm min pattering In my face

“Then I got breakfast aud went up that way,
and, oh, tuy (lud! I found them murdered."
There Is n general opinion that tho verdict
of the coroner’s Jury In charging Humphries
with the murder Is correct. Hla statamoat la
disbelieved for many reaaoua, chief of which
ii that there la no evidence
whatever to substantiate hla
story of the masked men. It Is thought strange
that. If innocent, ha should have ao careful!y
concealed bis bloody clothes The younger
girl wu undoubtedly outraged, aud the torn
condition uf her garments show, that ahe made
n bravo real atones It ia believed that the
older une waa murdered first for the purpose
of preventing assistance while the murderer
attached the younger. If Ilutnphica la inno-
veut. It stems strange that he should have
been allowed to escape death, while tho two
women with him were ao brutally murdered.

about 35 yean old. Ho luu always borne the
reputation of a taw abiding, peaceable nuu,

Beta, which arrived today, brought from
Turk’a Island the second engineer and aeveral
of the crcwof tho steamer Saxon, which was
wrecked on the evening of February i in Caico’s
passage. The steamer was on the voyage from
New York to Cape Haytien. She experi
enced very stormy weather early In tho
pasaago. On the fifth day out, a!>oat 8 o'clock
p. m., anil during moderate weather,she struck
on Birches Lookout reef, and on the following
day broke in two. The first and second engi
neers and four men then took to boat and
reached shore safely. Another boat lying
nlonslde. in which were two of the crew, was
swamped wheu the Boxon parted,
and both men were drowned. Two others of
the crew, by tho aid of a plank, swam to a
schooner lying some distance away, leaving
Captain Wyman and four others on the wreck.
They were unable to get away except by risk
ing their lives in the sea. One of these, tho chief
mats, a ton of the captain, attempted to swim to
land, bnt became exhausted and was drowned.
The steward became crazed and hopoless of bo-
ing rescued, and leaped into the sea and was
not afterwards seen. Tho high winds and

prevented any attempts at tbff rescuo of the
retiigfnhrir survivors being made until 3Iou-

Official Expressions—“Royal” found to be the
only absolutely pure baking powder. j'
Governor Hill, of Hew York (says a reporter of tho N. T.
Tribune), says: “I have been Astonished latoly #t the extent of the
adulteration of food. It would soem that every thing wo cat is adul
terated. * * This adulteration of groceries is bocoming a na
tional evil—one that wo shall have to adopt severe means to check,”
The machinery of the law cannot bo put at work too speedily or
too vigorously against this wholesale adnlteration of the things we eat.
Both the health and the pockets of the people demand protection.
There is no articlo of food in general use more wickedly adul
terated than baking powder. Tho Now York Stato Board of Health
has analyzed 84 different brands purchased in tho State, and found
most of them to contain alum or lime, many to such an extent os to
render them seriously objectionable for use in food, n* •' L ' '
The sale of adulterated baking powders has been prohibited by
statute in several States. It will be in the interests of tho public
health when their sale is made a misdemeanor everywhere, and the
penalties of tho law are rigidly enforced.
The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to bo
entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is the “Royal.” This
perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent processes, wlueh totally
romovo from it the tartrate of- lime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any
other. Tito high grade of the Roy:.'. Baking Powder has been fully
established by official chemists.
Prof. Lovi, who made tho analyses of baking powders for the
New York Stato Board of Hoalth, as well as for the Government,
certifies to the purity and wholesomeness of the “Royal.”
Prof. H. A. Mott, late Government chemist, says: “It is a
scientific fact that tho Royal Baking Powder ia absolutely pure.”
Dr. E.' H. Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn Department of
Health, says (April 24, 1885): “I have recently analyzed samples
of tho Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the stores
of this city, and find it free from limo in any form.”
Prof. McMurtrie, chief chemist U. 8. Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.,says: “The chemical tests to which I
have submitted tho Royal Baiting Powder prove it perfectly
healthful, and free from every deleterious substance.”
Bread, cake, biscuits, etc., prepared with Royal Baking Powder
will be lighter, sweeter, and more wholesome than if made with
any other baking powder or leavening agent-
