HOW THREE ALABAMA NEGROES DEFENDED
THEMSELVES.
Montgomery, Ala., March 20.
Further particulars of the bloody
tragedy which occurred at Mount
Meiggs, in this county, Friday morn
ing, have been received. The sheriffs
posse of six officers went to the home
of James S. Sidney, colored, who was
wanted for grand larceny, and who
had previously openly defied the
officers. The posse found Sidney and
his two stepsons barricaded in their
house and armed with shot guns and
axes. Deputy Parks, who led the
posse, called Sidney and told him to
surrender quickly, as the officers
were determined to take him. Sid
ney replied that he would kill or be
killed before he would surrender.—
The officers then forced the door
open, and the shooting began. Two
of the officers shot Sidney, and he
fell dead. The two step-sous were,
both wounded, one in the face and
the other in the thigh. After the
melee ended, it was found that the
negroes were armed with two shot-,
guns and five axes. Neither of the
officers were hurt. The boy shot in
his face will lose an eye, and the
other's wounds are various. Au in
quest was held and the officers re
leased. Sidney’s family was a terror
to the community where they lived. —

DYING IN A LONELY CELL —SAD FATE OF A
WRITING MASTER.
Macon correspondent Atlanta Con
stitution : Poor old man Parker, the
ex writing master, is dying alone in a
cell at the barracks.
The. sad fate of this man is enough
to touch the heart of a stone He was
at one time pretty well up iu the
world. His last known occupation
was that of writing mas'er It is said
that he begun the opium habit, which
brought him step by step down to
wreck and ruin.
For many months he has been, as
many similar characters are, a sort of
pensioner of a well known gentle
man'* generosity. Os late he has

ing moaning on bis pallet on the cold
floor of that terrible place, and ap
peared to be unconscious of bis sur
roundings. Physicians visited him,
but it is hardly probable that he will
ever breathe the free air of heaven
again.
In this connection it is not out of
place to suggest that somebody in
authority look into the condition and
surroundings of this den of misery.—
No man, with h df a heart,can go and
peep through those grimy iron bars
and look upon (he fittings and fur
nishings of that black prison, and not
turn away v.ith a shudder of loathing
and a tear of compassion for the un

A Watrh With a History.
Dublin Gazette: Marshal Martin is
now wearing two watches, the history
of one being this: Last Tuesday
morning Marshall W D. Martin ar
rested and lodged in jail J. D. Paul,
a white man, under a warrant sworn
out.by George 11. White of Hawkins
ville, chargin;, Paul with the theft of
a valuable gold watch. Tne theft was
committed about February Ist, and
Paul has beeu in this county since
that time. He has lately been en
deavoring to get up a school a short
distance below Dublin. Several days
ago Marshal Martin received a letter
from George H. White, of Hawkins
ville, informing him of the t est, and
stating that he believed Paul to be in
this county, and that he would reward
Marshal Martin if he succeeded in re
covering the watch. Following this
letter came another from T. S. Jones,
of that place, describing the stolen
watch. This letter also contained a
warrant for the arrest of Paul. Since
receiving these letters Marshal Martin
has been on the lookout and on Tues
day morning arrested his man in this
town. Paul had a watch and chain
upon his person at the time of his ar
rest, and the marshall upon examina
tion found it to be the watch describ
ed. Paul was badly frightened and
told several different stories about
the watch. Marshal Martin was in
structed to first recover the watch,
and then if Paul would pay the costs
in the case (about $25) to release
him. If he would not do this, then
to hold him until an officer should
come for him. Paul could not pay
the money and was promptly placed
iu jail. We are informed that he
bears a bad character where he came
from, being now under bond iu Pu
laski county for forgery there com
mitted. He is rather a good looking
man and was well dressed at the time
of Lis arrest.

A YOUNG HUKHand’s CIIAHGF.B
AGAINST THE SALVATIONISTS.
Tho Augusta Chronicle of yester
day furnishes tho following ;
J- E. Wimberly, a resident of West
End, is up in arms against the Salva
(ion Army, and tells some pretty se
vere things about their actions, which
very appropriately looked into by
those properly qualified. Mr, Wim
berly h direct grievance, however, is
domestic woe. Ho is an intelligent
younn man of about twenty one
years of ug«, speaks clearly, and pre
sents bis owe very forcibly.
His stun n pathetic, and Lils how
a once happy home is now desolate,
and hw a wife of b ; x monUm | IIIM for .'
silken homo, husband and friends to
cast her lot with the Salvation Army.
On the 10th of October last, one
bright Sunday morning, Af r Wimbei -
ly, ho his narrative runs, married An
nin Van Dyke, winsome little lad** of
10 years of ago. Since that limo Mr.
and Mrs. Wimberly have boon living
peaceably and happily, or rather,
they so lived till the appearance in
Augusta of tho Salvation Army
When the services of the army were
first begun, Mr. ami Mrs Wimberly
arm-in arm attended the exercises,
Instantly Mrs. Wimberly seems to
have been infatuated with the idea,
and t‘ e outcome was that she enliste I
in the army and is now an avowed
soldier in the ranks, having cl eted
to abandon husband, family, friends
and home to work in the ranks “for
the salvation of man.’ The husband
is almost heart-broken. Ho bus
pleaded with his girl-wife, begged
her to return to her home and don.,
all in iris power to reclaim her, but
his efforts seem to have had no effect.
Mr. Wimberly avers that undue in
fluon e has been brought to bear < a
his young wif , and asserts that her
young mind has been so thoroughly
controlled by tlm Army men that she
is lost to him forever. He points out
that there cau bo but little religion in
, nn organization which is going about
despoiling homes and spreading deso
. intion around firesides. His com
plaints arc Litter, indeed. Ho seei/w
greatly attached to his wife. Mid deep
ly deplores their sepnnitiou. He has
seen his wife time and again, mul
begged her ind reasoned with her,
but she remains firm in her purpos i.
| Mr. \\ imberly maintains that it h not
right for anybody, under tho guise of
religion, or under any other guise, to
use influence to separate man and
wife. His wife hue made prepura
i tions to leave the city during tho
■ present week, inning prepared her
trunk, etc., and neither tho husband
1 1 <>r wife know to what place she will
be sent. Mr. Wimberly has reincn
strated with tho army people, but
they simply stigmatize him, he says,
uh a "stuiiibling block" und refuse
him explumiti <ii or consolation. Ho
is greatly distressed over tho unfortu
nate matter, but now washes his
hand' of the whole affair. This story
is from Mr. Wimbmlv’a lips, and H
piinted at his personal request. It
does seem a little hard that this young
man ami wife should be thrust apart.
The ordinary routine of life, is
oft. ti up lull work, and nt our best we
need all our health un i strength to
meet our daily triuls. No one likes to
be relegate 1 to the circutnscribi d
space of an invalids chair and to a
person idflicted with piles, such a
remedy as Tsblers Buckeye Pile
Ointment is invaluable.
