tub TEorng or crawfobd inpionant.
Since the wilful ami deliberate murder
of Mr. Byrd Lyon wo have kept our read
ers posted. In our edition of yesterday
wo gave an account of tho arrest of Char
ley Mcinika, and the fact that he had ad
mitted tho awful crime. He was arrested
In Opelika and carried back to the scene
of the murder at Crawford. Upon his con
fession warrants wore Issued for the ar
rest of Mr. and Mrs. Davis, the parents of
Mrs. Lyon, living on Mr. Lyon’s planta
tion, and for Mrs. Lyon, the wife of de
ceased. They, with Melnlka, are all now
under arrest at Crawford. To-day the
preliminary trial will come off at Craw
ford. W hen our informant left last night,
Col. J.F. Waddell, as counsel for the State,
and Col. Barnes, for the defence, had ar
rived, and the ease would proceed to-day.
MKINTK A's CONFESSION.
Melnlka has made a full confession. He.
save he used to live In Columbus, and
while here was employed by Mr. Patrick
as a butcher; that he wont to Opelika, and
there married the white nurse hired to
Sirs. Lyon. After he married, Mrs. Lyon
told him that her husband, Mr. Lyon,
■mist l)e killed, and offered him live hun
dred dollars to do the job. He says pre
vious to the killing Mrs. Lyon tried to
drug the old man, but failed, and that
finally she insisted that the killing should
take place right away, os she wanted to
marry a man named Terry. He further
states that Terry was cognizant of the
whole affair, and sent tho horse upon
which he mado his escape. Mr. Lyon was
killed on Saturday night, but Melnlka In
tended to kill him Friday night Ho says
his hnnrt failed him just as he was about
to
FIBE THE FATAL SHOT,
and he left the deed undone. When he
next saw Mrs. Davis (mother of Mrs,
Lyon) she upbralded him for his coward
ice, and urged him to make “that live hun
dred dollars.” The next night ho saw
Mr. Lyon go to the well, while the fami
ly were at, supper. Mrs. Davis was stand
ing at the window, and from it handed
him a
LOADED MOSKET
and urged him forward. He says he tired
the fatal shot and tied.
He had been in the neighborhood two
days before tho killing, and during that
time was fed by Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Lyon
did not go from Opelika to Crawford un
til the murder was over.
Thus ends his confessions to one of tho
most cald blooded murders wo ever heard
of. Huoh a viiilan and all of his accom
plices ought to be placed where they will
never again have anothor such opportuni
ty to murder an old man.
Mrs. Lyon Is quite a young woman,
while Mr. Lyon was about 70 years old.
The Indignation of tho
CBAWFOBD PEOPLE
Is great. For a whilo yesterday it was
feared vengeance would be taken in bond
by Judge Lynch, and that all would suffer
at the stake. The people are justly indig
nant at this most foul murder, and it is
all they can doto restrain their feelings.
The trial takes place to-day. We will
have a spoclal reporter present, and give
our readers the latest.

The Girard Robbery.
Wo learn that the Investigation so far
does not make out so bad a case against
the negro boy Peter aB was at first sup
posed. It is now bellved that-he was not
a party to the robbery, but only an acces
sory after the fact—that he received a por
tion of tho goods as the prioe of hts si
lence. He claims to have found the goods
In the road, which is possible, as the trunk
was carried across tne road, and ho was
hauling wood along It. But tho more prob
able belief Is that, he saw the thief with
the trunk and other stolon articles, either
whilo crossing the road or whilo rifling
the trunk not far from tho road, and that
the robber bribed him to say nothing.
A portion of the stolen goods, embracing
most of Mr. Bates’ clothing, was found In
the trunk; but one suit of clothes, a shot
gun, pistol, shoes and $25 in money are
still missing, and If Peter knows who has
them, he stubbornly refuses to toll.
Mayor's Court.
The Mayor disposed of the following
cases yesterday:
Lou Ilammoek, for disorderly conduct,
was fined $2 60.
Dicey McLeod proved herself not guilty
of disorderly conduct and was dismissed.
William Harrell, of Police Court noto
riety, was lined $2 60 for disorderly con
duct.
Miily Oattis got two dollars and a half
as her portion for disturbing tho Police.
Kizzie Clanton was charged with disor
der, but it was a mistake. She Is not that
sort of girl.
Charlie Gray broke a street lamp, but
he did not go to do it. He was warned not
to do so again.

An Unfortunate Noiniiaiiiltullxt.
Tommy Harrison walks In his sleep. He
Is ashamed of It, but ho can’t help It; he
was born so. Last week Tommy.changod
boarding places, securing a nice set of
rooms at the Oliver House. Thinking
that perhaps as the bed, room and furni
ture were all new and strange to him he
might Indulge his propensity for noctur
nal perambulations, he called to his room,
Just before retiring, a colored porter, wlrn,
plays with the seventy-story trunks, arw
bounces impecunious board-bill forget
ters. To this individual, who stands just
seven feet high In his stockings, he ex
plained the whole matter, and, handing
him a dollar bill, said: "Now, Charley,
you just keep an eye on my room during
the night, and in ;ease you hear me mov
ing about Inside, come in and shake me a
little. I’ll awake, and then everything
will be all right.”
The darkeyjsald he understood him and
departed. Tommy undressed, turned out
the gas, threw open the window, jumped
Into bod, and was soon sound asleep. Pa
tiently the darkey Whited In the ball out
side of door No. —. But not a sound was
heard. About 12:30 o’clock the air blow
ing in through that open window in Tom
my’s room soon became so uncomfortable
that Tommy awoke shivering like a frozen
chipmunk. Seeing the cause of the diffi
culty, he sprang out of tho bed to close
tho window, and in so doing stumbled
overa chair.
That was just what Mr. Darkey had
boon waiting for. With one bound he was
In the’roorn, and seeing a form outlined
against thejwindow, he made a grab for It
and caught it with a grip of iron. Tom
my yelled with pain, and told Charley he
was awake, that it was all right; he wasn’t
walkingjin his sleep. But;Charloy wouldn’t
have in that way. He tripped up the un
fortunate soranamulist and threw him on
the floor with a thump that rattled every
bone in.hls body. Then he sat down on
him, and began shaking him by thumping
his iiead up and down on tho floor. In
vain Tommy insisted that he was not
asleep, and that he had not been that
night The darkey kept right on. Every
time Tom made an attempt to get up the
darkey put his knee on his chest and pin
ned him to the floor, all the time keep
ing tip the shaking process. At
length all tired out, Tommy remained
perfectly still, and the porter, supposing
by this time that he was quietly slumber
ing after his attack of the jimjams, placed
him on bis bed and retired. The 'next,
morning the colored porter came to Tom
my and asked him for another dollar on
aeount of tho trouble he had in gottlng
him out of his fit.—Toledo Blade

LETTER rnow DAW***.
complaint against mu. walley.
Dawson, Ga., Nov. 10,1876.
Dawson to-day reminds mo of the
wreck of ApaluehlOola. And what is
the cause? It is only traceable, bs
usual in other cltieay.to W. M. Wad
ley, who is doing more to-day to ruin
the people and merchants in this sec
tion than any of the Republican
party. Tels outrageous discrimina
tion in freights and accommodation
among railroad officials, should be*
gin to attract tho serious attention of
our Legislature. Cutbbert, twenty
miles west of this paint, gets
freights chea|>er than at this point.
Albany is getting almost all the cot
ton, or one-half of what usual’y
comes to this point. Heretofore
Dawson has received, say about 12,000
bales, and receipts now are about
5,000 bales. What are railrouds built
for, if not to benefit tho people gen
erally, instead of n few “big dogs’’ ?
One thing Is certain tho people will
rejoice over the removal of Wadley,
as much so as when Grant leaves the
White House, and they have just
cause. We say away with him! So
mote it be.
Marriages are still going on iu and
around Dawson. Several took place
last week. Last night, Miss Fanny
T. Williams, daughter of Judge Wil
liams, of this city, was married to
Mr. John R, Monroe, of Texas.
We are all patiently awa'ting the
news about the ©lection. All hope
ful, and sure that Uncle Sammy will
be inaugurated on the sth of March
next. Let bayonets and thieves try
to alter the inevitable if they can, or
dare!
The Times is our guide, and to it
we look for correct news.

The Alligator Business.
Between 17,000 and 20,000 alligator skins
are tanned yearly, which are consumed
by the boot and shoo manufacturers in
every portion of the United States, as well
as exported to London and Hamburg.
The alligators formerly came almost en
tirely from Louisiana, and New Orleans
was the great centre of business. The
Florida swamps and morasses are now tho
harvest fields, and Jacksonville, in that
State, the great depot. The alligators of
ten attain a length of eighteen to twenty
feet, and frequently live to a veryjold age.
The hides are stripped off and the belly
and sides, the only portions fit for use, are
packed in barrels, in strong brine, and
shipped to tho Northern tanner, who
keeps them •under treatment for from six
to eight months, when they are ready to
be cut up. So far the leather has been
mainly used In the manufacture of boots
and shoos, but handsome slippers are also
made of it.
A Rule as a Legatee.
From one of our Kentucky exchanges
wo learn of a mule as a legatee. They are
generally made legatees if a man who has
made a will gets in reach of their heels.
The owner of the mule in question is a
sheep-herder near Gridley’s station. For
some time he has been depositing the sum
of five dollars per month to the credit of
hts dog and a mule, so in case of his sud
den kicking the bucket they would have
something to live upon. The other day
the dog died, and the mule is full heir to
the estate.
! m IT A 119 TO LOVE THEE ?
is it n,u tolovr the*? Then ,y twnli* itcepty
dyed.
; For iuy life-blood, as it gushoe; Uk<: its oriuwon
from love's tide;
I Aud I feel it* love roll o’er tne, end the blnshee
mount my brow
And my pulses quicken rapidly, as the love dreams
come and go;
I foal my aptrft'a wraknesa; I know my spirit’s
power:
I have felt my proud heart atruggte In tempta
tion'a trying hour;
Yet amid the dtn of conflict, bending o'er life's
hallowed shrine,
yielding all, lay aoul has murmured. lain thine
—forever thine.
Is it a ala to love theel What were existence
worth.
Bereft of all of heaven, that lingers atilt on earth?
Friendship’s smiles, likeglesms of sunlight, shed
their gliding o’er the heart:
But the soul still cries for something more than
friendship can Impart.
Frozen hearts, liko ice-bound eyries, that no
summer ray can melt,
Vatniy boast their power to conquer what their
haarta have never felt;
But I envy not their glory, 'mid the rapture that
ia mine,
When with earneat soul I tell thee, I am thine—
forever thine.
Ia ft a sin to love thee? Gentle voicea round me
fall,
And 1 press warm hearts about me—MU I’ve
given thee myall.
What thoughstern late divide ua—and our lianda,
nothearts.be riven!
My all of earth thou hast—wilt more? 1 dare uot
offer Heaven!
Yet in some blessed moment when our dark eyea
flashing meet
When I feel thy power so near me, let-1 thy
heart's quick pulses beat—
Theu I know—may God forgive me—l would
everything resign,
All I have, or all I hope for—to be thine—for
ever thine.
Is It a sin to love thee > i remember well the
hour
Whsn we vowed our love to conquer, and resist
temptation's power;
When I felt my heart was breaking, and my all of
life was gone:
When I wept the hour 1 met thee, and the hour
that X was born;
But a sudden storm was raging, and amid the
muffled din
I flung iny arma around thee, forgetting it was
sin:
Close pressed upon thy bosom, with thy warm
hand clasped in mine,
I smiled through tears and murmnred, I am
thine—forever thine.
Is it a sin to love thee ? with love's signet on thv
brow.
Though thy lot be dark as Hades, 1 will cling to
thee as now;
Not mine the heart to fail thee, when other cheeks
grow pale;
We have shared the storm together, I'll stand by
thee through the gale.
Though our barks may drift asunder, yet with
true hearts beating high,
Let the golden sunlight cheer us. or the angry
storm-clouds fly;
From our helms, with steady brightness, our
beacon lights shall shine,
And the watchwords on our jtennons shall he—
" Thine—forever thtnel”
Is it a sin to love tbee ? when I bend the knee in
prayer,
And before a High Omniscience my burdened
heart lay bare.
On the breath of love to Heaven, ascends thy
blessed name,
And I plead weak, erring nature, if loving thee
be shame;
Heaven knows 'tis no light sacrifice I’ve offered

From the Keokuk Constitution,]
“I would invite you to my house, brud
der Jackson,” said Deacon Johnson, as he
emerged from church last Sunday even
ing, ’.but I dunno as we'll get any supper
die night, the cook stove am sodreffully
out ob repair.”
“What’s do matter will de stove ?”
“Why, you soft cold wedder am cornin'
on, and wood's gettln’ sknse an’ high, an'
I've ’structed de folks to lie I>erry ekno
comical in de usin’ oh it. Wes’s bin buyln’
In small lots, an' last night, bein' out ob
fuel, I sent one ob my boys ober to a neigh
bor’s to borrow a few sticks. De man ob
his family had gone to bed owin’ to de
lateness ob de hour, an’ dat boy who would
spise to do an unhonest t ransaction, wrote
out his note for de value ob de wood, au’
droppin’ it in a prominent place In de
woodshed, shouldered an armful an’
brought it home."
“Jess so.”
“Well, a fire was kindled, de tea kittle
put on, de ole woman she is gettin’ de
supper. All of a sudden, puff went de
stove, soom; kewish, kuslush went some
thing, and as I tumbled over I saw de old
woman makin’ for de roof wid do tea kit
tle and the stove plates followin’ her,
while de boys and do gals was black wid
smut as de ace ob spades. De stove's
goose was cooked for a fact.”
“What was de cause ob de ’sploshun?”
“I'm strongly ’dined to believe dat dar
was powder in dat wood, an’ dat de ]kjw
der was done put in dar by dat white man
to ketch some thievin' darkeys what neb
berbuys no wood, an’bressed ef I don’t
think dat man ’spects me, kaso he couldn’t
find dat note, and won't make any ’polo
gies.”
“Dat am an outrage.”
“For a fact, an’ do children’s supper
was spiled,'toC.”
Dr. Bellow* on flit* Mtuutlnn.
From the New York World.]
The sermon preached by Dr. Bel
lows yesterday was a thoroughly
good one, and if it dealt mainly with
politics, handled them as they should
be handled in the pulpit. The pa
triotic preucher is a safeguard to the
State, but the partisan preacher is a
iioor Christian and a worse citizen.
>r. Bellows holds that although the
election has been so close that
neither party has with it the moral
weight of a great victory, yet the
Issues made by the Republicans are
virtually disapproved. In regard to
the attempt to govern Southern
communities from Washington
through the lower classes of society,
he is outspoken, and in regard to the
present, elections he declares that
the suspicion of unfairness in South
Carolina and Louisiana rests upou
the Republican,party. He gives also
due weight to the fact that the ma
jority in the popular vote is largely
Democratic.
