Special telegram to the Dispatch.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, November S-P. NJ.
John Henry Salmon has been arrested by
Detective Craddock, of Richmond, and is
now in jail, charged with the murder of his
mother and brother Luther on Thursday
night last. The particulars Of this double
murder were telegraphed specially to the
Dispatch.
1t was first thought that the murder was
committed by robbers, s25 in money and
some brandy being found missing from the
house.
The suspicious of the detective were
finally fixed upon John Henry Salmon by
finding blood on his shoes, apparently wiped
from his hands also by his refusing to al
low more brandy to be given his dying bro
Their when it was apparent to all that what
had been given to the insensible man had
revived him somewhat, and the remark
having been made that if he could be re-
yived little more he might be able to call
the name of his murderer.
John Henry Salmon was arrested last
night by the detective and brought to town.
he appears to care nothing about the affair.
When your reporter visited him in jail to-
day he was dressed in his best clothes and
was sporting gold watch and chain. His
statement is that he got back home on Fri
day morning, having been to corn-shuck-
ing the night before. Looking in ut the
window, first he saw his brother Luther
lying on the floor weltering in blood, and
then he saw his mother stretched out in the
next room, also all bloody. Running away
at once, atfrighted, he says he gave the
alarm TO the neighbors. They all went to
the house, and found Mrs. Salmon and her
son as before stated.
Salmon further says that he had no idea
that he was suspected Of the crime until
Craddock asked him to go to town with
him, and then made no resistance, say
ing only "All right, he would CO."
Though many persons here think it i'm
possible that the murder could have been
committed by the accused, as he has not
borne a bad character, the people of his
immediate neighborhood insist that he i!
guilty, and allege that he came very neal
making confession, but was stopped.
It's conjectured by some that John Henry
returned from the constructing, and thai
he cot into quarrel with his brother Luther
and struck and killed him, and then killed
the old lady to prevent detection. Luther
died on Friday. There was nothing gone
or stolen from the house, as was supposed
at first.
The accused has not slept at all since the
affair, although he tries to appear undis
turbed. He has applied to Shelton F
Leake, Esq, to appear in his behalf before
the courts.
The axe with which the bloody deed wa
committed has been found, and will he pro
duced ut the preliminary examination.

Mobile and New Orleans Railroad

MOBILE. ALA, November S.-The track
LAYING on the Mobile and New Orleans rail-
road commenced here to-day. Many citi-
zens witnessed the interesting ceremony at
tending it. The first spike was driven by
Colonel Mann, proprietor of the Register,
who, in the course Of his speech, said he
regarded the event as not merely the lnau-
gliration of one hundred and thirty-eight
miles from Mobile to New Orleans, but of q
Southern Pacific route, which this company,
headed by such men as AmeS, Sprague,
Gardner, Raines Il Co., intend building,
surveys for which are now being pushed
west of the Mississippi, of which Mobile,
with the finest harbor on the Gulf, Is the
natural terminus. Here it will branch TO
the east and north by the Chattanooga and
coast lines. Cotton would be brought from
New Orleans here for shipment. Mobile
had health and was in easy reach of coal,
iron, and timber, and would become a
great manufacturing city.
Colonel Smith followed with the state
ment that Mobile was the cheapest port in
the United States for importing coffee, and
he had imported it heavily during last year.
Mr.. George n. Stewart said the road was
built by northern capitalists, who were
welcome, as would be all who came to aid
in the development Of our great natural
resources.
The grading of the road is well advanced,
and the iron for its early completion is
nearly all here.

Decidedly the most intrepid of the few sur
viyors of the Stonewall disaster was Mrs.
Anna Quincy, 4 woman Of eighteen. Her
husband left her to perish alone, but she
determined to save herself, and for that
purpose jumped into the water. When she
came up she canght hold of rope, and
thought that it led to the boat; but it was
rope attached to the spar which had tum-
bled over into the water. She pulled her
self along by the rope until she came to the
spar that had dritted under the burning
steamer. While there, post of the burn
ing cabin overhead fell down, and portion
struck her on the shoulders, iniuring her
severely. By this time she got off the spar,

time, who was struggling in the water,
managed also to get astride the spar. AT
this time the bursting Of the coal-oi cans
covered the water with sheet Of liquid
fire. "A she expressed it, "the water was
on fire." She and her companion held on

To the People Of Chicago andthe
Editors Of the Tribune:
Before departing from your city, which l
am about to do, beg leave to submit to
vou my report, and also to say n few words
in regard to the many little things which
have come under my notice while in your
city. l came here last June, since which
time I have employed myself in such

never forget Chicago. En- the many cities /

ton was called to an article in the Times
under the head of" Compromising Felony"
in which the writer condemns many Of my
friends, who, instead Of reporting the case
to the police, and giving them time to work
it up, go and advertise in the Tribune
for correspondence, and hold interviews,
and of course always recover their pro-
perry, &C., &c. What want to say is this !:
Do the people know when they pay their
money to the detectives to hunt up their
"jobs" that they are dealing with the very
meancst class Of thieves in existence? Now,
which is the fiirest? They pay us fair
price and get their property back-thcy
pay the detectives 4 large price, and get no.

judges. We have very queer way of dis
posing Of things: and if they who lose
know their " biz" am very sure we do.
