JAMES F. FRAZIER FOUND GUILTY OF
MURDER.
OTHER CASES TRIED.
Special to the Time* by S. A A. Line.]
Peuuy, Ga., May 28. The case
against James F. Frazier, charged
with the assassination of Dr. Joseph
Benton Dunwoody, on the night of
the 24th of December lust, was call
ed ot 10 o’clock Tuesday morning.
Tbo prisoner was formally arraigned,
and the panel of forty-eight jurors
called. The bailiff was sent to Fort
Valley for every man to ho brought
to court. The balance of the day
was consumed in examining jurors as
to their competency. It seemed as if
about nine-tenths of the jurors called
had formed opinions or prejudice in
regard to the case. Seven jurors
were obtaiued and sworn in, viz.,
B. F. Murray, T. J. Evans, 11. T.
Rainey, A. 1,. Murray, F. S.
King, J. T. Barfield aud J. E.
Hayes. These wore confined in
the court house all night in charge
of a bailiff. Wednesday morning
the other five jurors were obtained—
Joo Barnes, Chas. Poland. F. M.
Parker, W. H. Henderson and 1(. L.
Bridges. In all, one hundred and
j forty-four jurors were summoned,
| and one hundred and twenty-eight
j were examined. Before the jury was
made up the evidence closed, at noon
Thursday, and the ease was argued
in the afternoon in a very able man
ner by Mr. Giles Harris and General
Warren on behalf of the State, and
by Judge Holtzelaw, Mr. Harris of
Macon, and Mr. E. Ryan of Hawkins
vilie, on the part of the defendant.
Thoevidence was circumstantial, and
the jury considerably worn out by
two days’sitting, and some of them
three nights' confinement. It looks
very much like cruelty to imprison
innocent, jurors, but the Judge has no
other alternative. Judge Hill's
charge was concise and clear. The
jury went in at twelve and a Half
o’clock Thursday night, and agreed
on a verdict yesterday morning and
was discharged. The verdict was:
“We, the jury, find the prisoner,
James F. Fjuzier, guilty of murder
and recommend him to the mercy of
the Court.’’ We learn that tho pris
oner’# counsel moved for anew trial; |
the motion for anew trial jwus over
ruled by Judge Hill and the case will
go to the Supreme Court. The pris
oner was sentenced to imprisonment
in tho penitentiary during the term
of his natural life.
Anderson Kendrick and Andrew
Carter plead guilty of burglary and
were sentenced to five years each in
the penitentiary.
Court adjourned yesterday evening
until Monday at 10 o’clock.
Mrs. Campbell, wife of tho venera
ble Baptist minister of this place, was
severely stricken with paralysis on
Monday last. She is dangerously ill.
Hurilfr In Um* Nrrmirt llpsht.
limbopton, N. J., May 28. The
trial of Sovier Schwartz for the mur
der of Abort, which has been in pro
gress for several days, resulted last
evening in a verdict of murder in the
second degree. Schwartz and Abert
came from Germany together this
Spring. After their arrival in New
York they started through New Jer
sey, and in a woods near Millville

SEVENTY-PIVB PERSONS PERISH IN THE
FLAMES.
Special to tho Times by 8. A A. Line.]
New York, May 28.—A special from
Holyoke, Mass., gives tho latest do
tatlsof the appalling church accident.
Lust night, at 10 o’clock, thirty-six
deail bodies were in MownU’s store,
on Main street, twelve at the school
house, and two at. another house.
The work of recovering bodies from
tho ruins progressed all night. At
midnight fifty-one bodies mostly
women and children—had been re
covered.
Tho pastor, Rev. A. B. Dufresue, es
caped through a side door. The
scenes in tho church were horrible
past description. Tho corner of the
gallery fell in and was found piled
full of mangled, dismembered bodies.
It is probable tho exact number of
the lost will not be known for some
days. It is stated about seventy-live
persons perished.
The following is a list of the killed,
so fur as recognized : Mrs. Burgess,
Justine Brishen, Miss Cocke, Rosalie
Disjarden, Mrs. Disjarden and four
children, Seline and May Doueetteo,
Frances Derey, Mrs. Lnfrace, Mrs.
Litvin, Mrs. Morin, Isaiah Morireo,
Mordio Tobeann, Mr. Merrill, Etta
Munier, Alzeno Newton, I’hascal Pa
quette and child, and Mr. Roberts.
A list of forty Injured is also pub
lished, which includes Mr. Muilin,
Ciiief of tho Fire Department, and
Calesta Dufresne, brother of the pas
tor. Six of the injured are dying.
Nelly Lapierre and her mother, ami
a child named Bridge, are missing
ami supposed to be in tho ruins.
A majority of tho dead are still un
identified.
Springfield, Mass., May 28. Im
mediately on the flames breaking out
all those in the galleries rushed to
the i iist door and crowded each other
so that they fell upon one another
and choked up the door way witti
bodies, i>iled all ways, seven or eight
deep, and here most of those were
lost from this mass. Chief Mullen
rescued one young woman after hav
ing removed two dead bodies from
above her. It was almost im
possible to face tho tlames, and
Chief Mullen and others had
j their clothes almost burned from
them and badly burned themselves.
Of course tlie most intense excite
ment lias prevailed in the streets op
posite the church and at the various
points to which tho burned were car
ried. Wild efforts were made by
people half crazed to rush poll inell
into the burning building to the res
cue of their friends, and they wore re
strained'with difficulty; this was par
ticularly the case with parents who
had on the first impulse rushed from
the church to save their own lives,
but suddenly remembered they had
left their children behind.

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewrittou by the ablest writer* or every
subject. Printed from new type, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Maps.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclopedia was com
pleted in 1863, since which time tho wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all parts of the
United States, and the signal developments which
have taken place iu every branch of scienco, lit
erature and art, have Induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to un exact and thorough
revision, aud to issue a now edition eutitled The
American Oycloimcdia.
Within the last ten years tho progress dis
covery iu every department ot knowledge has
made u new work oi reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts aud
the convenience and refinement of aoeial life.
Great wars aud consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ot
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de- j
cade, with the natural result oi the lapse ol time,
have brought into public view a multitude ol new
nion, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of w’hich tho de- l
tuilH are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but :
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition f<r the press,
it has accordingly been the aim ui the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish au accurate account of
the most recent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of tho progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with tho most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of tho original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been print' and on
now type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopedia, with
tho same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
us have been suggested by longer experience and
eularged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
tlio text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict tho most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and urt, as well aH tho various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
umbclishment, no pains spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of tho Cyclopedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about BUO pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1876. We shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully and foarlessly.
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found in every State and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY BUN will continue to boa thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to mako the Weekly Sun tho best
family newspaper in the world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
Tho Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature iu tho Weekly Bun, and its articles Will
always bo found fresh and useful to tho farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and Hie Weekly Hun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, aud lor the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country aud threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price ef the WEEKLY BUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns.. As this barely pays the expenses of paper
and printing, we aro not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under tho now law, which requires payment of
postage iu advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cunts tho cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Ban at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY BUN—Eight pages, 56 columns.
Only $1.20 a year, postage propaid. No discount
from this rate.
TIIE DAILY SUN—A large four-page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns. Daily circulation over
120,000. AU the news for 2 cents. Subscription,
postage prepaid, 66 ceuts a month, or $1.60 a
year. To clubs of 10 or over, a discount of 20
per cent. Address
