I was sitting down in front of tho hotel the other morniug peruisng The Constitution when a clever good-tor-nothing, seedy, pale faced individual came up and took a chair be side me, qpd soys he, “Kernel, sposin a wo man was to put up a plea and writ a feller when she had nogrouns,and hor lawyer put it in the paper, uud now she wants to take it back and git together again, cant I make her write a liebiU nml put that In tho paper too?" “I dont exactly understand you my friend" anid I, “Is it a divorce case.

"How long have you been married" said I “About two months" said he. “And what was tho matter"* said I, “what mode her sue you, wliut did you do to her?"' “Nothin," said ho. “She got mad causa I w ouldent give her money to go off on an ox- tunion to Stone mountain with a red-headod feller,'and she called ino an old North Callina ynller eyed, tallow faced, box ankle vasabon, and I dont know what all she dident coll mo, and I want to know if I cant make hor prove it. Aint sho got to prove it bofore she can put in n plea?" “Prove what," said I. “"Why, prove what she called me, said ho. “Well—lets see," said I. Did you come from North Carolina?" “Well, I were born thnr," said he, “And your eyes are a little yaller," said I; ond your complexion i* very sallow, and you may be box-nnkled—I don’t know. Now, jthe main question is, What do you do lor n living? What is your trade; are you a vagabond, or not?" “Well, kernel, I don't do much of anything right r.ow, Benin to knock round, for business is mighty dull." “Well, now," said I, “do you go and make tin with your wife and buy you a little homo with that money your daddy loft you, and go to work, aud tho very first thing vou do give Unit rod headed feller a lickin' ii ho comes about and then your wife will have more respect for you." He studied awhile and said: “Kernel, I believe you are right. I'll whip him shore," and ho left me. Well, there is a power of trouble amongst tho poor and tho rich. * The poor fools marry for tun and the rich fools marry for money, and Uicro'Is misery all round.

It is curious how naturo figures up her products for I havo never yet seen an car with an odd row. Thoy are 14 ond 10 and 18 and 20 but uever odd, and it is o mysterious wonder how the tender shoot wrapped up in its newborn shuck always moulds tho cob into even num bers and never mikes a mistake. Ordinarily it takes a hundred ears to make a bushel, nud£with a thousand grains to the ear a bushel of shellod corn has one hundred thousand grains. One time there was a Per sian philosopher who wauted to teach tho wild young king a losson of prudenco and good government, and so he inventod tbo gamo of chosa, and taught him how to play, and how dependent tho king was upon the queen, and how tho knights aud tho bishops and the cas tles represented the chivalry ami tho church, end the old solid men of tne kingdom, and it took all of them to strengthen the empire and defend tho king; and the pawns were tho humble subjects,the poor working pcople.and they wero thq truest and best delenders of all.

That night tbe king thought he would calcu late ana so ho went to work and found that it would take more corn than was in his king dom—moro than bad been made in his king dom in a thousand years, and now I would like for the boys and girls who are going to school to do this sum and find out how many million barns holding a million bushels eacn it would take to hold tbe philosopher’s corn.

With an insane man's cunning he came near destroying tho entire town by fire, claiming that ho wns the agent of God scut to do tho work, that ho tvas the only man who could raise hell in Georgia and he was going to it. HOW IT FIRST STARTED. It was not until Marston was run down, fired upon by his pursuers, and captured, badly wounded, that tho people had any idoa who wns raising so much Cain about town. Last Friday night somo one entered the cemetery ot Conyers and playod particular imaslfamong tho graves. Tho tombstones wero broken and torn to pieces, somo were re moved and a general displacement occurred. Graves that wero without stones were sup plied with something in that lino, even if it wns only a pedestal or a vnao or a stray brick bat. A wild figuro the madman must havo cut in that quiet old graveyard in the witching timo of night, leveling down tho memorials erected to tho memory of tho silent slcepors. As ho expressed it after ho was captured, tho graves were unoveuly tended, soma hod monu ments and somo had nono, some had flowers and flower pots and others wero ncgloctod. 11 o hod started out to oven things up, and it seems ho had ono slab over, ns ho took it out side and slammed it through tho window of a negro house to the intonso terror of tho inmates. This vandalism in tho graveyard gave Con yers enough to talk about until Saturday night. Then occurred. TIIK MARMAR'a HRCOND FREAK. • Tho Methodist church nt Con vers was en larged sometimo ago by tho addftiou of a ves- tibuio ten feet deep aud extending across tho church. Marston is a member of this church and has been a regular attendant at Sunday- school and church services there. Saturday some ono remarked in his presouco that tho Methodists would havo a holiness mooting in the eliurch in October. “I'll put a stop to thnt," said Marston, but no one paid any attention to him, as ho ap peared perfectly rational and no one had an idea thnt lie wns insano or that ho meditatod any f uch terrible act as arson. Sunday night about nino o'clock, Marston went tf* the rnurcli and collected shavings and light piece* of wood which ho carried under tho vestibule nnd placed iu such u position that it would make u quick blaze. Then lio fired it and in n few moment* tho Haines were well under way. There is no Hrq department at Conyers, and nothing could be done to save ,-4ka church.. The church organ, tho cl^uroh. records and ilib flulpitwero saved, but ifitf with the others, did nil ho could to supnrois It. .Tho building cost about $3,000 ami was tho handsomest houso of worship in Conyers. A IfAXIAC MUSICIAN. Tho organ which was saved from thoohurch was placed in tho houso of Mrs. Ewing, near by. Sumloy morning early Marston wont thero aud seating himself at tho organ ran his Augers over tho keyboard. “Why, do you play?" asked tho lady. “No/' ho answered wildly. “Do you?" “No, but my daughter ploys," replied Mrs. Kwing. Bring her out, then," commanded tho in sane man. “Why, she is not up yet," answered Mrs. Kwing. “Are you not sorry the church was burned 7" asked the lady, pointing to tho cluirrcd timbers end smoking ruins near by. “No, I’m not. Let them prencli in the sun shine. One church for tho whites and ono for tho blacks will bo enough." “Why, would you like to sit in tho sunshine nnd hear a sermon," was askod him. “I'm as good a preacher as any of them, •nd I’ll stand in tho sunshiuo ana preach," lio answered. A few moments later Marston left. The lady had never met him before, but had soon him at church. Sho had no idea she was talk ing t<> a wild lunatic. Sunday morning, just as Rev. Mr. Britain ns taking his text, tho cry of fire was again raised. It was discovered to bn in Mr. J. D. Winburn's wood house, and was speedily ex tinguished. Tho hoard and splinters wero found with which tho attempt had been nmdo, as they hail not had timo to have been con sumed. Tho alarm, of course, dispensed with divine services for that hour. Had this firo not been discovered in timo the damage done would have been no little. Mr. J. D. Win- barn’s house would have burned, Mr. T. D. Stewart's, the Presbyterian church, probably two houses of Mr. Morgan, and Rev. J. L. Stewart’s house. Just across tha street Mr. A. J. Pierce’s house, just finished, and Mr.. Frank Ayers’s, would havo gone, amt proba bly the livery stable. By this time the people began to be very much excited over the attempts to burn the town. People were congregated on every corner discussing the matter and tbe proba bility of catching the inceudiary, and the most intenso excitement was seen on every hand. FUBTHRR EFFORTS TO FIRE. In less than one hour from theti mo Urn firo was discovered at Mr. Winbu^i’s, another alarm was raised, and Mr. Jofin Carr’s gii- bouse wss on fire. It was soon extinguished, as everyone was on the loos; out. Very little damage was done. A watch was kept up all evening, as It was feared that other places might be fired. It was g puzzle to the citfsenf how such work could go on In their midst in broad day light and the perpetrators not be discovers. It was the belief of everyone that tbe vandal ism! perpetrated in the cemetery on Friday night last was committed by the same person or persons. It grew to be tbe common belief that the town was about to be burned by sn organised mob of incendiaries, and great foars for the night were felt. It was thought that Jr the incendiary could do such vigorous work in broad daylight, be would certainly be able to destroy the town when night ollerod her protection to shield him from observation. Rumors got out that THE TOWN MAD RRRV THREATENED, and the uneasiness was at fover heat. The citisens formed themselves Into general patrol and armed themselves. They organized and prepared for the approaching darkness. One set were to watch naif the night and the other half were to keep on the lookout the balance of tbe night. About nine o'clock tbe alarm of fire wss heard in the southern part of town and a house belonging to Colonel White wss discovered on fire. That was put out, and a few minutes later tbe alarm was sounded and another incipient fire wm extinguished. After this second fire some ont wm discovered try ing to burn a bern belonging to Mr. Wallace •nd was fired upon by him. The crowd began a search and soon after saw a house a little distance ahead of them on fire, tnd heard some one running and holloaing: “Hell's broke lotie in Georgia." They eould not cetcli tho fellow as thoy ha l to stop to put tho fire out. IN PURSUIT OF THE INCKXDIAItr. About ten o'clock tho party ''jumped" tho incendiary. They found him stretched outla the graso near tho CampbelHtq church. Ho sprang up and darted away like a doer, tho crowd in hot pursuit, ordering him to halt. He paid no attention, but sprang away tho foster, ond tho rattlo of twenty weapon* rang out on the air, disturbing tho quiet of tho Sunday night. Ho fell, aroso and dnehod on. Ono young inau wns in advance, and so close ly did he press the flying incendiary that ho turned nnd threatened to kill him. Tho young man turned ond ran and was pursued by the incendiary, who overtook him and struck him. By that time tho balance of tho pursuers had como up and tho incendiary again started to run. lie wns ordered to hnlt. but continued to run. Ho wns fired on an l hit in four or five places. Ono bull struck bim in tho pit of tho stomach an l glanced around and another struck him in the side. He wns also hit by a shotgun in tha head and right arm and hand. When tho crowd gathered around him, he was found t » be Tom Marston. In his right hand ho car ried n bundlo pine and in one pocket a box of matches. He was and shouted: God! God did it!" When the pcoplo bent over tho mangled and bloody figure, and found that it was poor Tom Marston, who had always boon a model boy, they were horrified. • “God told me to do it!" ho shouted. It wa* a wild sccno for a Sunday night—Conyors never raw tho like of it before. Marston was picked up ond carried to tho ccurthouio nnd put under guard.

Of course, every ono knows that he is crasy, and ho will bo tried a sa lunatio and sent to tbo asylum. Marston was present nt most of tho fires and helped to extinguish them. Tno strongest port of tho wholo affair is that ‘ho wm not suspected. No ono seomod to notico him. When somo ono suggested thot blood hounds bo sent for fo track tbo Incendiary, Marston soldi “There is no uso In that. I con track tha man that did it." The young man is nearly nineteen and bo- Jongs to a thoroughly respectablo family. If«i has tbreo brothers in Atlanta avIio ore well- known musiciane. He ia undoubtedly insane, admits all tho crimes and says ho did it at God’s command. MOROSINI WITH A RIFLE. The Blllllonnire Create* a Honsntlon and Lenves HI* Home.
