FEARFUL LEAP.


A MAN Commits Suicide by Jumping
from the Suspension Bridge into the
River.
Between the hours of FIVE and six o'clock
yesterday morning, man was seen to
jump from the Suspension Bridge into the
river. At first the report gained currency
that it was Mr.. Melee, of Edgefeld, but
that gentleman came along shortly after
wards and contradic ted the statement in
person. Again the report was put in cir
culation that it was Emory, the broom
maker, but that statement too, proved to
be unfounded. 1t turned out afterwards
that the name of the unfortunate man was
Hint Grizzard, formerly butcher by occu.
patton. A negro who witnessed the lear
said that he was standing on the bridge
when a man approached him and asked
him if he knew any of the butchers. Th'
negro replied that he did, whereupon thu
man said "tell them Hint Grizzard i
going away, and tell them good bye" Tn,
negro states that he then started away
when Grizzard said good bye old fellow,
and jumped from the bridge. The negr
then looked over the railing, and hear,
him cry for help just as he struck the water
He foated down to near the old bridg
pier, when he went down TO a water
grave. A search was afterwards made 70
his body, but it could not be found.
Grizzlrd was man about twenty-fV
years Of age, and leaves a wife and on
child, who we understand, are in destituI
circumstances. It. is stated that the d.
ceased some time ago sold his prOpert
and turned over the money to his fsthel
in-law, since which time he was unable
get it back, and the fact of being WithoI
means so preyed upon his mind that
caused him to drink freely, and finally pr

Carpet-Begger Marries Widow,
Gets Her Money and slopes.
Not great while ago genteel specimen
Of the Northern carpet Dagger made his ap-
pearance in pretty little town not thou
sand miles remote from Nashville, and be-
fore he had been there many days began to
make people believe him gentleman OF
the first water with suficiency Of "the one
thing needfup 10 make the performance OF
the part perfect. He dressed well, talked
in good style, and in other respects SO ex-
actly played the part he assumed as to
defy detection. Among other tricks calcu-
lated TO deceive the honest people among
whom he was seeking victims, the bold
adyenturer gave it out that he had
come there to settle permanently, and
talked largely about investments In
real estate, even going go far as to enter
into negotiations with worthy citizen OF
the place for forming a copartnershlp in
the building and 6lting.up Of new hotel
He also formed co-partnershP OF another
sort, which enabled him to finish the ras-
cally part he originally intended TO enact.
By artful devices and oft-repeated declara-
tions IF deep and earnest attachment, be
succeeded ia winning the affections OF an
estimable widow lady, who owned in her
own right one of the handsomest and most
valuable places of residence in the town
This lady be married, but this fact did moi
at once develop the true character OF the
man. For time he must play the part o.
devoted husband, 10 order that he might
be enabled to finish out to perfection
the real character of an adrOit and consum
mate scoundrel. The coDfding and trust
ing lady to whom he was married, regard
ing him as all he represented himself, con
sented to the sale of her property by thu
man in whom she had such unlimited con
fidence. He wanted additional capital Il
invest in his real estate transactions
especially in the new hotel business, anC
, the money realized from the sale Of thr
homestead would enable him TO get all hi
enterprises on a surer footing, and ulti
, mately yield almost fabulous profits. Th
t necessary papers implying the consent o
the wife to the sale were executed, and tn
ingenious speculatOr soon had the hous
and lot turned into money, the money il
| his pocket, and himself out of town
Although several weeks have elapse,
einoe his disappearance, no intelligenc
has vet been received as 10 the direction il
which he went, or the new field of specula
ton honored by his presence. At presen
only what we have written is known
nothing more.

The old black carpet-bag stuffed with
the dirty clothes of Kentucky negro,
which for while meanly graced the Radi-
cal equality pole on the Public Square,
was taken down yesterday afternoon and
turned over to its greasy owner. 1t had
been.the innocent cause of fuss among

in order to prevent further discOrd. The
whole secret about the matter has not yet
been publicly developed, but enough is
known to establish the fact that portion

consequently the carpet-5ag had to come

Squire Norvell paid his State and county
tax to Walsh few days since, not knowing
that the Grand Jury had decided that his
bond was insufficient, but when he had
learned that such was the case, he at once
proceeded to Walsh and remanded the
money. Walsh complied with the demand
by "forking over" the money.
