SENTENCE or A MURDERED.

From the New Albany Qnd.) Ledger, July 30.l
During the present week the counsel for Oliver A.
Morgan sentenced to suffer death for the murder
John Petrf, near Terre Hante have been trying to
the Judge failed to sufficient for grans-
ing II, and Overruled the motion. AS Ii has been
several years since murderer was sentenced TO be
hung IN this State we viii give the scene IN
the occasion Of pronouncing sentence, as described
by the Terre Haute Express
The prisoner was then ordered to stand up.
whereupon he rose and walked calmly and deber-
atey to the space in front OF the bench and stood
facing the Judge, who said:-'Onver Morgan, a jury
of your countrymen, after due deberation,
have found you guilty OF murder in the first
degree, and that you suffer death. Have you any,
thing to say why sentence should not now be pro-
nouncedY" At this point Mr.. Mack, who sat near
the prisoner whispered to him moment and he
then said-"May 1t please the Court, ask for new
trial. words to that effect there being 80 much
noise at the moment that his words were not dis
tinctly heard. This request took the court by sur
prise, and IN the confusion that ensued the prisoner
sat down. The Judge, alter little reflection, de.
clded that the request was not In ORDER and directed
the prisoner to ''stand up" Morgan arose and the
Judge said:-"Iave you anything further To sayY'
have nothing further to say except That the case has
been hurried from the first and that, too amid great
excitement so that fair trial was hardly possble'
These are his words, rs nearly as We could catch
them amid the noise that prevailed.
The Judge remarked that this objection mad
already been advanced by his counsel and had been
considered by the Court, and he would proceed TO
pass the sentence, which he did In these W0rds:-
" 1t is the judgment OF the Court that you, Oliver
Morgan, be taken from the Jail between the hours OF

Mr.. NAYS came to thus city day or two since and
was closely examined by both the officers OF the ex-

Three men, who were on the train at the time are
suspected Of being the guilty partes but sufcient

and the police here are on his track and are busy en-
deavoring to get a clue by which he may be nabbed.
In Savannah the police are also busIly engaged IN

thesis seems to be that these followed Mr.. Mays

ANOTHER FATAL MISTAKE OF A DRUGGISTS CLERK
A Little Child the victim

From the Hartford Evening Post, August 81
On the evening o July 10 girl called at the house
OF DR.. Wilcox and requested prescription for a
little child of Mr. Burns, living on Front street, who
was troubled with the summer complaint. The
doctor wrote tie following prescrip,ion:-
r. Aqum Calcis, ounces, III Tinct Opii, twenty drops
A qu@ Cnnam., ounces,
This he gave to the GIRL instrucinR her to give it
TO the child. half spoonful al dose. The prescrip-
ton was taken 70 the drug store Of DR.. Braddock,
on North Main street, and given to boy, one OF his
clerks, who compounded Is as follows:
r. Aqum Calcis Oimewaer). two ounces; Tinct. Opil,
daudanuni), twenty drops; Aque Ammonia.
About seven O'Clock q dose was given to the sick
child which, as soon as 1t had swallowed IL.
stranglcd and soon commenced vomiting blood DR..
Wilcox was called, and arrived at the house at ten
O'Clock, but could give relief ana the child died
ut about two O'Clock the following morning. The
suerDgs OF the enid must have been terrible as the
throat ana stomach were rs badly scaided 10y the
ammonia they would have been had melted lead
been swallowed.
DR.. Wilcox called at the store OF the druggist who
stated that ammonia was used, and that 1t was re-
auired by the prescription. This was found on the
floor Of Mr. Burns house, ana has since been taken
10 several ply slcians and druggists, none OF whom
have mad any dllicuty In reading 10 correctly Gin
naTop is generally used In medicine Tor the summer
complaint, while ammonia ~ rarely used AT aI ana
never i'm so large quantity. There Is no doubt but
that the careessness OF the clerk who compounded
the medicine caused the death Of the child.

A LOST CHL0.
His Reappenrance After Thirty.Three Years
of Savage Life.

Of Savage Life.
from the Sandusky (Ohio) Register July 2s.]
Thirty-three years ago there lived in Lewiston.
Logan county, farmer by the name OF Harris Hop
kins, who had q child boy between three and four
years OF age. One day while the farmer was at work
In field some distance from the farm house, the boy
started from the house across the fields to see his
father. The last seen OF the little fellow was
when he left the house. Hundreds OF people
turned out to search for the lost child. The river
was dragged the woods searched. rewards Of
fered, but all to no purpose. After days OF weary
and anxious search the little fellow was given up by
the parents and sympathzing friends. The few
Indians living in that nenhborhood were friendly
and peaceable, and no suspicion ever attached to
them, and the affair was forgotten or only talked OF
as mysterious disappearance. The Hopkins family
at length left their old home and settled In Illinois,
and up to ten days ago none OF their Old ncighbOrs
In Logan county had expected 10 see any members
OF the family again. The astonishment OF the old
settlers IN and about the neighborhood can be
ceived, when week before last, tall man, Drowned
by exposure to sun aud storm, and speaking the
broken English OF the half civilized Indians, made
his appearance at lewiston and claimed TO be the
Child missed thirty years ago He stated that
Cherokee indian, wandering through that section,
had enticc1 him from the field Us lie was gong in
search of his father aud had carried him to the
Far West The old chief had treated HIM as his
son, and having been taken away at so early an
age the memory OF his parents and former lie had
faded from his mind. For thirty odd years he lived
an Indian and supposed that he was the son OF
the old chief who claimed to be his father. lew
months since the chief, then high IN rank IN the
Cherokee nation, and very advanced in age, found
himself on his deatnbed Shortly before he died he
him who and what he was. AS soon as the old chief
was dead and buried hopkins came to Logan
county in search OF his parents, whom he found had
moved to Campaign City. III. He, however, re-

A MYSTERY.
Disappearance of u Steamboat Engineer ana
His Assistant.

from the Savannah Advertiser, July 31.1
The steamer Islander, Captain O'Keefe plying be-
tween this city and the interior towns and planta
tons on the coast, left CoOsaw on Sunday morning
last with freight for this place; shortly after 1eav
ing the cog wheels broke and the steamer was
headed back for COcsaw, where she remained until
"Wednesday, when she was towed TO Beaufort by the
leaving Coosaw, Captain O'Keefe had the freight
transferred to the Pilot Boy and came on with IL to
this city. Upon reaching Beaufort the crew OF the
Islander was discharged by the engineer John
Wheeler. and they came on here IN the steamer o.
sabaw. on Thursday night Wheeler having engaged
the services OF the Pilot Boy to tow the Islander to
this city, he employed negro man In Beaufort
for the purpose Of assisting him TO steer her.
Some time after the Pilot Boy had started
with the Islander in tow, the latter steamer
began 10 tow very hard and worked very unsteady;
she was therefore hated several times to know what
was the cause OF her working pady. No reply
being given she was boarded and q thorough search
made out neither the engineer nor the negro could
be found. A man from the Pilot Boy was then
placed on board tor the purpose ofsteern1 her, and
ahc was towed safely TO this city. There,is some-
these men: as yet no cause can be assigned for it..
The clothes of the engineer were all found on board;
even those that were last seen upon his person. That
the engineer had been lying down, and finding the
boat working badly had gotten up and had some
difficulty with the negro, during which both fell
overboard seems to be the opinion OF many while
Others believe that the negro may have thrown the
engineer overheard and then swan ashore himself
The clothing OF the negro was on board the Pilot
of gong ont on the Macon ana Brunswick Railroad
to work. There were no traces OF blood observable
about the boat and the whole affair Is as vet wrapped
In mystery.
