Her Father und Mother j Arrested. 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.

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. River News. Manifest of the steamer Big Foot: Swift, Murphy A Cos., 28 bales of cotton; Blanch ard, W.

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 “THE OLD KELIiItLE,-’ We make our annual bow to the public, and beg to announce that we are again prepared to offer the best WINES, LIQUOKS and CIGARS, at whosale and retail at the lowest cash price.

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.

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*?

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.

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. STATE Agricultural & Mechanical College OF ALABAMA, 1876. LOCATION—BUILDING.
