kept running until the policeman caught up
with him in West-street.
John Kenny testified: That he had been
subp9naed by the Attorney General. He had
known the prisoner for several years, and had
always known him as an orderly, hard-working
citizen.
John GahM re-erdmined b. the St0ae.-Said
that the prisoner Doland was the man that
came out OF the yard. He was about fifteen
steps from the gate at the time, and could
have seen any person who came up the street.
None came. The prisoner had never cried
sire" OF he would have heard it. While lying
in his bunk in the guardhouse, witness heard
Rumley say that he saw q man come to the
house and take hold Of the knob Of the door,
and when asked what he was doing the man
said that he lived there. Witness did not hear
Rumley say anything Of the height Of the man
in question.
James Riley, Sergeant Of Police, testified:
That he assisted in the arrest. He was on
Ward No. 2, and about quarter before two
O'Clock. heard noise and rattle, concluding
it came from the Jail, he turned his horse In
that direction. At the corner Of Mazyck and
Queen streets he met Graham and Gerarty,
who told him some one had been shot,
Witness then went up to the corner OF Arch
dale and Queen streets, and met Wescoat OPP
posite the Unitarian Church. The man was
then getting out of cellar. Wescoat asked
him to give up the pistol twice, but the man
ran into the lot second time, saying don't
follow me. When witness came on the scene,
and got clear of his horse, the prisoner was
down, and he could not say who struck him.
The testimony having closed, and it being
near five o'clock, the Judge decided, with the
consent Of counsel, TO defer hearing argument
until Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and the
court was adjourned.

DEATH OF Rev. JOIN P. MoRR1s.-We regret
to announce the sudden death Of this young
minister. He died in Darlington on Friday
morning last, about o'clock, at the residence
OF Mrs. Gibson. Mr.. Morris was in his twen-
ty.third year, native Of Hamilton, Canada.
He came here in 1885, for the improvement OF
his health, and found 30 much benefit from
the genial influences Of our climate that he de-
termined to remain and make his home in our
State. He joined the South Carolina Confer
enoe of the NJ. E. Church, South, in December,
1885, and, by unusual application, accom-
plished in one year what generally requires
double that time. he passed an examination
ON the s'studies' of both years, and was Or
daine6 deacon. He preached in Aiken last year,
giving general satisfaction, and began to be
looked upon .ss young man of decided merit,
who would certainly make his mark. At the
Last conference he was sent to Darlington,
where he had preached two Sundays, and was
winning golden opinions from his congrega-
tion. He was feeble in constitution, but his
friends apprehended no such sudden termina-
ton to his brightly opening career. he was COM
planning little during the early part OF last
weak. On Thursday night MIR. s. A. Woods
remained with him until about four A. NJ,
vhen he was relieved by his son, MIR. Andrew
Woods. and few minutes after Mr.. Morris
.put his hsnd on his shoulder and breathed his
lest.

Rev. BISHOP WIeETMAN.-We had the pleas
ure yesterday to. listen to an eloquent and
instructive discourse at Trinity Church, Hasel-
street, from Bishop Wm.. M. Wightman, from
Philippians iii, IS and IL: ''This one thing I
do, forgetting those Things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which
are before, press toward the mark for the
prize Of the high calling Of God in Christ Je-
sns." The Bishop, as usual, was very happy
in the eluoidation Of his text, showing depth
and originality Of thought, g wealth Of illustra-
ton, chaste diction. and great Auency OF e1-
preston. We congratulate our community on
having this learned and eloquent divine in our
midst. We noticed Governor Orr in the con-
gregation.

WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD IN
THE HANDS OF A REoErER.-We learn that
Henry NJ. Drane, late President Of the Will
mington and Manchester Railroad, has been
appointed receiver Of the earnings OF the road
for the benefit of its creditors, and has en-
tered upon the duties Of his Office at Whining
ton, N. @.
The appointment OF MIR. Drane was made
by Judge Meares, and shows just appre-
citation Of the availability Of MIR. Drane, who
was elected President Of this road in Novem-
ber, 1865, and Immediately procured $500, 900,
on q credit Of two years, that sum being re-
quired to restore the road to it's original con-
dition, and to connect once more the old North
State with Virginia and South Carolina.
This loan Of $1,000 vas expended with
Judgment and fidelity, but the business Of the
road did not come up to the sanguine expecta-
ton Of it's friends.
A change was made in the executive officer
by the strength Of the State proxies, against
the popular vote and the wishes of private
stockholders. A well defined policy of two
years experience was thus overthrown, bring.

ARREST OF DEFAULTER AND RECOVERY OF
$7000.-hformatlon was received in this city
some weeks back that man named Thos. NJ.
Hannon, an agent of the Freedmen's Bureau,
at Lake Providence, La, had absconded from
that place with between $1,000 and $4,000. It
was known that he had left Jackson, Miss, on
the 9Th instant, and it was supposed his desh-
nation was Charleston. Information of the
facts OF the case, together with description
Of the defaulter, we're sent to this city, and re-
ceived by Lietenant Hendricks, Of the City De-
tectives. This intimstion was sufficient to put
the Lieutenant on the alert, and his officers
were Immediately notified Of the fact It was
supposed that if the individual came to Charles-
ton he would appear under an assumed name,
and endeavor to destroy his identity by alter
ing his appearance, but the Charleston detec-
tives are used to dealing with rsscals, and
know how to trap their game. On last Wednes-
day Lieut.. Hendricks and officer Coates arrested
man calling himself James NJ. Ormsby at his
boarding house in society-street. Ormsby had
been endeavoring to purchase real estate, and
had in various ways excited the suspicion of the
vigilant detectives, and they felt convinced that
they had found their man. On arresting
Ormsby, $7S98 were found, which was turned
over to the military authorities, who receipted
for the same. Ormsby was subsequently de-
livered to the military, on requisition from
the Commanding General. Ormsby denies any
knowledge of the robbery, and insists that he
has no alias, but came to the city to purchase
property. Great credit is due Lieut.. Hendricks
and Officer Coates, for the prompt manner in
which they worked up the case, and made the
arrest They have shown to the community.
that Charleston is no place for thieves, and if
any Of the larger rascals should visit this city,
they will soon be relieved Of their il-got-
ten booty. and be handed over to the proper
authorities.
