Mjlllpgkvim.f., Go., March 11.—[Hpocial.]—
This morning about 10 o’clock, Mr. .Spigbta,
from near Brown’s crossing, camo to town and
reported that the entire family of John Harris,
colored, consisting of himself, wife and nine
children, were poisoned on tho plantation of
Mrs. J. M. Morris, last Fiiday. The poison
acted slowly, and medical attendance was not
summoned until Friday evening.
By that time one of the family was past
a ii
hope, and the balance wm in a* very crltU^Iri
condition. The symptoms
the throat, excessive purging,
ping in the pU of the stomach and great thirst.
Every member of the family were, when found
by l)r. Hardeman, In a semi-unconscious state.
One of the children died fianday after*
nan. Coroner Scott held an Inquest over it
today. The verdict of the Jury was that the
child camo to death from poison at tho hands
of fom§ unknown*person or persons. 0
Suspicion rests upon a voodou doctor In the
neighborhood, and is grounded upon tho fact
that he makes the treatmont of poison a hobby,
and tho snsplctai la strengthened by the fact
that the poisoned family incurred his anger by
ridiculing his power, it is supposed ho placod
the poison ■ in the meal hag by slipping it
informed that Mrs. Tipton saya that Seaborn
Weaver, the father of Joe weaver, arranged
and did the planning for this wicked work of
Tipton and Weaver.
Seaborn Weaver, Andrew Hobbs and a mm
by the name of Ban field have been arrested
»nd are under bail for their appearauee at tho
July term of Laurens snperior court, to answer
to tho charge of harboring a convict. Jdo Ww
er. It is thought that when tho facta arc fully
developed, Hobbs and old man Weaver will
have to gnawer to the charge of accessories.
Diligent search is being made for .Too Weav
er, and bloodhonnda have been sent for. Ho
is still in the county, having been been last
Tuesday, hut he is now armed with a Winches
ter rifle and danger is apprehended when tho
arrest is made. Tho greatest excitement pre
vails over this matter.

dail, of this city, wrw arrested last Wednesday

I^nra Hart, of Edgar, an eleven*year-old girl,
v.ho was placed under hfsr.are for treatment.
The crime was commuted ono week ago, an i
to day the doctor was arraigned. Just af or

been jilaccd under $5,000 bonds, & brother of

and before any person was aware of his intern

walked out of the court room and dis*pp3arod
and no person has taken tho troub'o to lack
for him, ns the shooting is looked upon as jus
tifiable.
From evidence produced, it appears that
Randall and his wife, who was on trial
with him, have made it a practice to
ruin young girls and then _ placo
them in homes of ilUfame. Mrs. Rsndall
is now In custody of the sheriff. She is quar

concerning him. They are afraid that ho will

very strong. Young, after being questioned,
aaid that Bonner spout tho night with him last
Wednesday; that most of their conversation
waa about the poisoned pooplo aud its treat

core a victim of poison, and Young told him
that John Harris did not bclicvo ho could con

Montgomery was startled this morning by tho im
expected arrival of I too Vincent, Alabama's nnto
rious defaulting treasurer, in custody of Mr. F.. C
Ray. The prisoner was taken to the county Jsl
and given a cell, and in a few moments the new
spread like wildfire over the city, and the jail was
surrounded by an eager throng of people, eager to
get a look at Up) defaulter and prisoner. The sher
iff reffised to admit any persons except intimate
acquaintances of the prisoner and the reporter*.
|HOW THE CAPTURE WAS EFFECTED.
Vincent was captured at Big Sandy, Wood coun
ty, Texas, Sunday morning, by Mr. Ray. who is a
deputy sheriff. Ray told the story of the capture to
your correspondent, as follows:
"1 wa# raised In Randolph county, Ala., and
knew Vincent In this state several years of my
boyhood and early manhool. A few weeks ago I
was at the depot at Big Sandy, and saw Vincent
come in on a train from Mexico, and recognized
him at once, but I had no paper* and uo authority
to arrest him. I learned that be had relatives near
Big Bandy, aud had como over to
visit them. I said nothing, but telegraphed
Governor Seay, of Alabama, found that the reward
was still outstanding, And got authority to make
the arrest, aud quietly waited for an opportunity.
1 watched the trains every day, and went through
them. Sunday morning, when the train came In
from Mexico, I waa at the depot, and as J went to
get on the train, Vincent stepped off.
FA OK TO FACE.
|.“T faced him, told him lie was my prisoner and
ordered hands up. He thought I was going to rob
him, and raid he had no money. Ho thought be
muse I prerented a gun that I was a robber. I told
him that J meant to bring him to Alabama, and
would have to put him in jail until I coV;.’<f get
requisition. He begged me not to put him in Ir.#-
ard he would come along quietly without t!
formality. He bud uo money, and I pur.-h.ucaj
tickets for two and we started for Montgomery less
than half an hour after the arrest. Ou the trip b,
would not talk, except when

THE STORY OF VINCENT'S DEPARTURE.
i interview with your correspondent this
afternoon, Vincent told the story of hts departure
from Montgomery aud his life tho poet three years.
Hu *ald:
I found that I could not regain the boavy losses
] had sustained, and left to go to New York to try
and fix the matter up. 1 may havo been a fool
to think so, but I did. I got ai far as
Cincinnati, where I woke up in tho morning
and read all about the affair la the newspaper*
with Governor O’Neal * telegram, giving the
orld notice that 1 was a defaulter. 1 saw the
game was up. I could not como home, aud there
was no use going on to New York. From Cincin
nati 1 went toBt. J-ou is, where I remained so no
weeks, , aud then made my way
by rail Jto Mexico where 1 hive
resided most of the time since. I had only tour
or live hundred dollar* in my poncssionwhcnl left
Montgomery. In Mexico I havo straggled hard
for a living for myself and frmily, working for
twenty-five ccuts a day. I havo been to Panama
and came over into Texas frequently. It would
not have been so bod with me if I had been given
a proper showing by the Mate authorities. 1 did
not have a dog'* chance."

that a Mrs. King had been suf

the physicians in attendance.
The disease commenced with a
slight derangement of the di-<r-,
gestion, with poor appetite, fol-
’lowed by a peenliar indescrib
able distress in the Istomach,
a feeling that has been described
as a faint “all gone” sensation,
a sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causinga disagreeable
taste. This sensation was not
removed by food, but, on the
contrary, it was increased.

When too4ate the medical men
