Two More of the Jail nirils Captured.
Copt. Oattts and another gentleman,
whose name we did not, learn, yesterday
captured two of the negroes—John Barker
and Robert Wesley—who escaped from
the jail Tuesday afternoon. They were
on a country wagon, near Bull creek, leav
ing the city. They tvoro of a party of
four or live arrested a fow weeks ago,
charged with cotton stealing.
There aro eight of the escaped prisoners
still at large, for which the County Com
missioners have oiTerod $135 reward—s3o
for Frank Madden, and sls each for ttie
others. Mr. Johnson, the jailor, has offer
ed an additional reward of S2O for Frank
Madden.
A Kctn'a Throat Cut.
Ywstei'day a negro man who hail sold
his cotton in the city was enticed across
the upper bridge by a whito man unknown
to him—and whose name we could not
learn—under the pretense of giving him
specie for greenbacks, and, who, when on
the other side grabbed the negro’s pock
et-book and runoff. The negro overtook
him, and the white man then commenced
to cut him about the neck and throat and
would, doubtless, have killed him, if he
had not been taken of by some gentlemen
of Marshall. Or. Palmer dressed the
wound and the uegru return or i this side
to hie wagon, where he was again pro
fessionally attended by Or. O. W. John

they were gambling and the fight grew
out of the game.

Vagrant*. Idler* and Vagabonds
Columbus has not boan so heavily stock

since we have known it, as it seems to be
at this time. Every street Is full of them,
white, black, and both sexes. How do they
live? iVAere do they live? Many of them
never do an hour's useful work, and none
of them have any visible means of support,
yet they live, and have no troubling cares
about the future—even though the
future points through guard houses, jails
and chain gangs, to the penitentiary or
gallows. Can’t something be done to scat
ter, U not to utilize these pests?
The little episode in the history of the
negro whose throat was nearly fatally cut

with the importance of getting rid of some
of these vagrauhi, Idlers and vagabond*.

OPIXJOX OF WHAT THE DECISION
With BE.
Tho Investigation of the Lyon murder
was resumed yesterday morning at Craw
ford. The evening previous tho investi
gation proceeded, and the Court held a
night session. The State having gone
through with Its testimony, yesterday
was spent In Interrogating the defend
ant’s witnesses.
We judge from the small number of
spectators present yestorday, compared
with those in attendance for the first two
days, that the excitement, over the case
basahatod. It is yet difficult to form an
estimate of public opinion. We eonvorsed
with some of tho leading men of tho placo,
and while wo found many nnaitorsbly
convinced of Mrs. Lyon’s guilt., we found
more than an equal number satisfied of
her innocence. Ileneo it Is that we, as
a public journalist, aro unable to satisfac
torily answer the oft-propounded ques
tion: “Whatdo you think ,if it?” If we
were forced to answer, however, we would
say that tho evidenco against Mrs. Lyon,
as introduced, does not warrant a convic
tion for this heinous offence ; and we may
state, that some unprejudiced parties con
sider her not guilty. Mrs. Lyon was
raisod and bred about Crawford, and somo
men reason that her statement of her
innocence, as published In tho Times, Is
at least as good as the confession of a
doubtful stranger, that Meinika is.
THE DECISION
as you will see further in the testimony
is not concluded, the defense having yet
more witnesses to Introduce, and the
State a number in rebuttal. After care
fully looking Into the case, we are of the
opinion that Meinika will be placed In jail,
Mrs. Lyon required to give bond, and Mr.
and Mrs. Davis released. This opinion Is
based upon the law requiring the Magis
trates to commit If they consider there
is probable cause to expect guilt.
We learn Mrs. Lyon can give the bond
if required. Of course the deluded crea
ture, Meinika, will have to go to jail, and
there await his trial next May.
COURT SCENES.
Col. J. F. Waddell and Lyman Martin
represented the State. Two more courte
ous and gentlemanly lawyers cannot be
found. Their ability Is beyond dispute,
and l ight well they represented the State.
Col. Martin would indulge overy now and
then in a little spice, and frequently
brought down the lioubo with his quaint
expressions and anecdotes.
Col. Bnmford represented the defence,
and he did it well. He is most assuredly
the "coming man” in East Alabama.
Talented, courteous and ever ready, he
has but few equals at the bar. Even the
splendid and renowned criminal lawyer,
Col. Waddell, found in him a foemau
worthy of his steel.
THE LADIES
were out in force. Many of them were
the schoolmates and companions of Mrs.
Lyon, and attracted by the enormity of
the crime, were there to hear the testimo
ny. The appearance of a gentlewoman
always has a tendency to soften men’s na
ture, and in this case helpod to recompense
those obliged to liston to the dull details
ofthe trial. To Misses L. D. and G. TANARUS„
Mrs. T. and Mrs. F., we are especially in
debted for kindnesses extended us; their
hospitality and good-will will lie gratefully
remombered as long as Crawford is a
town.
Col. Jones, A. B. Ellaiul, Dr. Thomas,
Monroe Fuller and a hostof others, we are
Indeed gratefully obliged for overy kind
and species of hospitality. The kind
ly manner iu which all the good people of
Crawford spoko of the Times, was pecul
iarly gratifying to us, and our friends in
Columbus who want the Crawford trade,
should now como forward and advertise,
as most all of them have subscribed to the
Times.
3. M. FULLER
sworn, says: I reside in llussell county,
near the town of Crawford. I know all the
parties, and have known for 20 years ex
cept Melnlka. The house at which Lyon
was killed, Is about two miles from my
house. Lyon was killed on the 13th day
of Novomber. I was In Crawford on Fri
day, the day before Lyon was killed, and
on my way home met Melnlka In the road
It was about one hour by sun. When 1
next saw him he was In Opelika under
arrest. He was brought to this place by
Edge Hooper and myself. On last Thurs
day Meinika while sitting by the lire said
to me he wanted to tell the truth, and
made to me the following statement:
He said he was the man I met In the
road, and described minutely how he got
to Mr. Davis’ house. After arriving at the
house he went to the dining-room window
and knocked, and that Mrs. Davis came
to him and gave him a gun, and that he
went down into the Held and loaded it
with one iron slug or ball and one buck
shot- He then came back and stood near
the house, but his heart failed him, and
he did not shoot, Mrs. Davis then let him
into the dining-room to the fire. After he
got warm, Mrs. D. carried him in the back
way into the hall and put him in some
cotton, where he was to sleep. He re
mained there until morning, and after the
rest had tiuishod breakfast he went in and
got his. During the day he went down in
on old house in the Held and remained
there until dark, when he returned to the
house and took a position in auopen place
near the well. Mr. Lyon came out and he
raised the gun and shot. He then lied the
place and made his way to Opelika; that
he reached Opelika at 12 o’clock; that Mrs.
Lyon made a negro girl cook him some
supper, and told her to eook him plenty.
Mrs. Lyon then asked him if he had done
the work, and he replied that he reckoned
so.
Meinika also told me that Mrs. Lyon
was to give him live hundred dollars and
a set of furniture for a man to kill Mr.
Lyon.
This conversation occurred at the hotel,
and I have stated It as nearly as I can re
call it.
CROSS'-EXAMINED.
The hotel is not used as a hotel, nor is
it vacant—one room In it being occupied
by Mr. Gipson. Mr. Baldwin heard a por
tion of this confession. The conversation
and confession took place last Thursday.
The prisoner mode the confession the day
after Ida arrest; he was handcuffed about
two hours after his arrest, and was kept
handcuffed until the confession -though
the cuffs may have boon taken off for a
short time. Thero wore throe guards with
hi in most, of the time, until the con fees ion.
Meinika is a foreigner, and does not speak
English well or plainly; his luuguagc is
very much broken. I frequently had to
ask him over two or threo times before l
could fully understand what ho was say
ing. The language I used is not the exact
language of tho confession, but It Is as I
understood his moaning. I may have
asked him if he Intended to use certain
words; he used words which I hud him
to repeat before I could understand him.
He had what I supposed to bo fits; he has
had two since making the confession;
when I received the confession it was
about 10 o’clock in tho morning; he had
no flts previous to confession—they lasted
from 5 to 10 minutes, though ho was not
prostrated that long. Ho said he went
through tho cow-pen In leaving the house,
into an old straw field; stopped at a ne
gro’s, about three miles from Crawford;
passed where t here was a party or col
lection of persons, tho house being on
tho right as you oomo this way. He does
not appoar to me to boa man of weak
•mind.
Meinika also stated that lie stopped at
a storo on the road and inquired the way
to Salem; and after crossing a bridge, he
stopped at. another house and Inquired
the way.
ROBERT P. BODWIN
sworn, says: I livo in Crawford, ltussell
County, have recently made tho acquaint
ance of Charles Meinika. Last Thursday
night, I was detailed' on guard by the
Sheriff, and went into the room where
prisoner was. Meinika stated to me that
ho was going to tell the truth in this case.
Said he had not seen any peace of mind
since last March; said Mrs. Lyon was after
him all the time to kill Mr. Lyon; said
she offered him five hundred dollars and a
room furnished. She said he should have
the money as soon as tho work was done,
and she oould sell tho cotton; also stated
that he wished I could have seen the note
that sho gave him to bring to her mother.
He said the note read as follows: I have
sent Charley down to do the work,as soon
as tho work is done, you must go to him,
and take from him his money and his
keys, and suffer no one to go into his
trunk until I come down. He said In re
gard to the killing: That on Friday
night his heart failed hjra, anil on Satur
day Mrs. Davis patted him on the shoul
der, and told him, ho must beabrave boy,
and do the work; also that Mrs. Lyon told
him after he had done tho work where to
put the gun. That when he went to do
the work, he trembled very much. Show
ed me the position ho was in as he came
out with the light. He raised the gun
and fired. I then asked him where ho
put tho gun. In answer he said be put it
in an old house in a patch where Mrs. Da
vis told him to place it, and that she
would send Willie for it.
I believe this is all I remember lie
stated. Upon reflection however that he
stated after he got back to Opelika, Mrs.
Lyon ordered supper for him, and asked
him if he had done the work. He told her
he thought he had, and that she said if
“this thing" Is found out on you, I will
spend every dollar I have got to clear you,
though it will never bo. It will be put
upon those negroes that Mr. Lyon had a
difficulty with.
CROSS-EXAMINED.
The witness said he did not protend that
he told the confossion in Meinika’s words,
lie having spoken in a broken tongue. His
language is not very difficult to under
stand, though some of the conversation
was. He did not have to repeat any of his
language 4o make it intelligible to me.
Monroe Fuller was with me during the
confession. The prisoner was handcuffed
when he made the confession.
DB. FOREMAN, SWORN I
I have recently formed the acquaintance
of Charles Meinika. On last Saturday I
had a conversation with him about the
gun he did the shooting with. He de
scribed the gun as being a brass mounted
musket, and cut down very small in the
stock, except where tho stock rests against
the shoulder. I saw the gun that was in
court to-day. It corresponds oxactly with
the ouo described by Meinika to me.
DR. JNO. THOMAS
was recalled to the witness stand. He said
he was acquainted with Meinika, but of
very recent date, Mot him while ho was
coniined in the old hotel. He described to
mo the gun he did tho killing with as be
ing a brass mounted musket, and that the
stock was cut down until it was very
small to tho place where the stock came
up to liis faco while shooting. I saw the
gun at Mr. Benton’s store that is said to
be the gun he did the killing with, and the
gun answers tho description given by
Meinika. I never saw him hunting -with
this gun.
The Defence.
When the court opened yesterday morn
ing the defence proceeded with their testi
mony.
A. Cl. EMORY, SWORN :
1 was acquainted with Mr. Byrd Lyon.
He consulted me several times, and told
me he did not expoct to live long. At the
time of the last consultation he was com
plaining of dyspepsia or torpid bowels.
CROSS-EXAMINED.
He had partial paralysis of the lower
extremities. I cannot imagine any cause
except nervous debility. Paralysis is not
frequently occasioned from taking poison,
as strychnine is very often given as a re
lief for paralysis.
It. C. BOTD, SWORN;
I know Mrs. Lyon. I went with her from
the residence of Mrs. Davis on Wednes
day after the killing to Opelika. Do not
know whether the sheriff had been there
after her or not. I carried a note from her
to the sheriff next morning. I read the
note. Mr.Davis’ dogs do not stay at home,
being with me two-thirds of the time.
Mr. Davis’ voice is usually low.

ED. GUM, ATT,
sworn, says: I know Meinika; last Friday
morning in tho old hotel, I had a conver
sation with him; there was no one in
the room with us; he said to me that
“Mrs. Lyon had never said anything to
him about this.” Dr. Foreman was stand
ing at the door, and walking across the
room.
CROSS EXAMINED.
I had tho conversation with him on
Friday; it was in the hotel, and in the
middle room, next to the west end; I don’t
know exactly what time of day it was
that I talked with him, but suppose it was
between eight and nin^.o’clock; I was
on guard; I was summoned by Stafford
Gibson to guard him; he summoned me
Thursday night to go on guard; I sat up
with prisoner onlv part of the night: I
! was standing in front of Mr. Dopton’s
stoic when I was summoned; I hod Just
come from Columbus in a wagon, and was
on my way home; I was not intoxicated
when 1 wont in to guard him; J laid down
and slept, taking it lurb about with the
others in guarding tho prisoner; I woke
up before daylight; I hud the conversa
tion with Meinika alter 1 woke up; lie
suldtome: "Mrs, Lyou never said any
thing to me about tills." Ido not know
why he told me, but I will swear he told
me.
LIZZIE KENNEDY.
I reside at Mr. J. L. Davis’ house. I first
saw Charles Meinika when he came to our
house for a beef; he came down on Wednes
day or Tuesday of tho week; ho staid at
our house two days anil throe nights,
picking cotton; lie said he camo there
about a beef; he left the house with Mrs.
Davis on Friday night, I think, but don’t
exactly know what time they left. Mr.
Meinika was not there the next day, and
If he had been there 1 would have seen
him. The next time 1 saw him he was un
der arrest here at Crawford. I know the
night Mr. Lyon was shot, and that day
Meinika was not there; 1 cook wash and
Iron for tho family; I wash up the dishes;
Mrs. Davis gives me control of every thing
in the cook and dining room; make up the
beds, etc. On that Saturday morning I
washed the dishes and went to the cow
pen ; I know the situation of a house in a
little patch; the cow-pen is between tho
dining-room and patch, and. one going
from the dining-room to that house would
have to go through the patch; anyone in
the cow-pen could see a person going from
the dining-room to that house in the patch.
Meinika did not go from the dining room
into the patch that morning; I sleep with
Mrs. Davis in the same lied, she going to
bed first; if any gun had been passed out
of tho dining-room I would have seen it;
no one did do so.
I am acquainted with tiie musket of Mr.
Davis; it generally sets in the bed-room.
Meinika, while thero picking cotton, had
tho gun in his hands. (Witness identified
the gun as presented in Court.)
On the morning of the day of the kill
ing, Meinika did not eat breakfast at
Davis’. I am? in no way related to de
fendant.
CONCLUSION.
The trial, in all probability, was con
cluded last night. It was the opinion of
counsel that it would conclude then.
When we left, Willie Carlisle was on the
stand for the dofence. One or two wit
nesses will be put up in rebuttal, and
the case will be decided to-day.
In our next issue we will give the re
butting testimony, and the termination
of the suit.

Wbat is the cure for goeslp? Simply,
I culture. There is a groat deal of gossip
: that Ims no malignity In It. Good-natured
! people talk about their neighbors because,
. and only been use, they have nothing else
Ito talk about. As we write there comes
| tons the picture of a family of young
ladles. We have seen I hem at home, Wc
have met them in galleries of art, we have
caught glimpses of them going from a
bookstoreor a library with a fresh volume
In their hands. When we meet them t hey
are full of what they have read. They
are brimming with questions. One topic
of their conversation is dropped only to
give plaoe to another, in which they are
Interested. We have left them, after a
delightful hour, stimulated and during
the whole hour not a neighbor's garment
was soiled by so much as a touch. They
hod something to talk about; they knew
something and wanted to know more.
They could listen os well as they could
talk. To speak freely of a neigh
bor’s doings und belongings would have
seemed an impertinence to them,
and, of course, an Impropriety. They hail
no temptation to gossip, because the do
ings of their neighbors formed a subject
very much less Interesting than those
which grew out of their knowledge and
culture. And this tells the whole story.
The confirmed goßsip is always either ma
licious or ignorant. The one variety needs
a change of heart, and the other a change
of pasture. Gossip is always a personal
confession either of malice or imbelility;
and the young should not only shun it,
but by the most thorough culture relievo
themselves from all temptation to indulge
in it. It is a low, frivolous, ami too often
a dirty business. There are country
neighborhoods in which it rages like a
pest. Churches are split to pieces by it.
Neighbors aro made enomies by it for life.
In many persons it degenerates Into a
chronic disease, and is practically incur
able. Let the young eure it while they
may.

Probably the Romans were the first to
employ glass for windows. Seme rem
nants of glass panes are to be found to
day, In their frames, In the buried houses
of Herculaneum and Pompeii. They sub
stituted glass as a material for bottles in
place of the leather which is still in voge
among the poorer classes in the Orient.
Epicureans in wine then, as now, deter
mined the age of this article by the seal
upon the cork, and the label impressed
upon tiie glass. Glass goblets were less
popular. Gold and silver reluctantly
yield the palm to their new fangled rival,
which sought popularity by appealing to
the desire of novelty among the rich.
Even artificial stones and pearls of glass
wore not unknown. Whether mirrors of
glass were known to the Romans, or
whether they depended exclusively, as
they certainly did chiefly, upon tiie re
sources of the Jews—polished metals—is
a question of grave dispute among the
learned in such matters, a dispute into
which we shall not venture to enter. It
