The Cincinnati Times of Tuesday evenin :
says:-
Last evening, in the quiet little suburban to vn
OF Greenwood adjoining Lockland, there was
enacted bloody sensation which disturbed its
usual equanimity. A colored man by the name
of Robinson, who has on two former occasions
been concerned In very serious affairs, one of
which wac the killing of q man about a-year and
a half ago, was the principal aggressor in this
terrible affair.
1t appears that Robinson, like "Othello," had
been afflicted with the pangs of jealousy for
some time past. He felt that nothing would
satisfy him in his then moody and revengeful
disposition but blood, and with that object In
view armed himself with two revolvers aud
carbine and started on his bloody aud treache-
rous mission shortly after nightfail. Arriving
near the colored Methodist church in Green
wood, he stationed himself where he could
obtain good view of the front door.
Here he awaited with the ferocity and impa-
tience of a bloodhound until the services were
over, and then, as the congregation had about
half emerged into the open air, he fired his car
bine into the crowd. This shot falling to wound
any, he again placed his carbine to his shoulder.
and taking better aim, again fired. A shrek
followed the report, and piercing cry rang
out, "Good God, I'm shot!"
CONSERVATION now took possession of the
crowd, for the second shot had convinced them
that it was deliberate attack made upon them.
daunted, gathered around the wounded man To
offer assistance. But no sooner were they
gathered around the PROSTATE man than a
third and fourth shot were fired by the con-
cealed assassin and this time Copeland was
shot. Again the crowd wavered, some fell back
into the church, while others sought safety by u
rapid retreat elsewhere.
The demon seeing the crowd flying, emptied
the chambers of one of his PISTOLS and this
time wounded Mr.. Busby and his wife. This
seemed to satisfy his thirst for revenge, and he
made an attempt to escape, but he did not sue
ceed, for that same evening he was pursued and
hunted like a wild beast by the excited popu-
lace. He was finally secured by the Marshal of
Lockland, and placed in durance, but such is
the anmosity exhibited by the friends of the
sufferers that it is feared he will be summarily
disposed of by tribunal of his fellow citizens
Some of the parties shot are badly wounded
and our informant, Auditor La Rue, thinks
dangerously.
Such fiendish attempt at wholesale murder
has seldom been made. Had the parties who
had aroused his jealousy been singled out as his
victims, the analysis of his fendshness would
be clear, but to deliberately fire into promis-
cuous crowd is beyond comprehension, unless
he was Indifferent to who were the objects of
his wrath, and that murder by wholesale was all
he desired.

The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin of the
I'd instant has the following particulars of an
accident reported by telegraph
Yesterday about noon, a singular accident Oc-
CURED in front of the store o. Mr.. Laurent Uter
dealer in lookng-glasses, etc, in the Toure
buildings. Five or six workmen were engaged
in setting up large glass plate in the frame
of the show window, TO replace broken one.
The plate being OF unusual dimensions, about
eight feet by ten, the operation required con
siderable care and no little skill. A gentleman
passing near the place at the time entered the
siores and, in a somewhat totficious manner,
warned the worKmen of the great dangers at
tending such operations, at the same time he
exhibited one of his wrists where could be
plainly seen an ugly scar, Occasioned, he said,
by an accident resulting from putting up simi-
lar plate. He, however, offered lis services To
assist the woTkmen, saying that he understood
the business thoroughly. His offer of services
in his determination, and actually took hold of
the glass as 1t was being pushed into the sho w
case edgewise.
The employees were inside the window, while
the young man stood outside and grasped the
lower corner of the plate. just at this moment
large piece Of the upper corner of the glass
broke, falling upon the young mans neck aud
sliding dawn to the sidewalk. The other work
men meanwhile let go their hold, and the re-
mainder of the plate was also shattered to
pieces. The young man, as he arose from the
ground to which he had been prostrated, said
''Send for DOCTOR" and his life's blood was
seen squirting from his neck in large quantities
He was Immediately led into drug store
where he expired within hve minutes after the
accident.
At the inquest a post-mOrtem examination
was made on the body of the young man, elicit
ing that the deceased had received cut sever
or eight inches long across the lett side OF TN
Icck, which severed thc caro!ld artery ea1slH.

the immured Susan, and wus impressed by
her attractions. The prison commissioner
kindly allowed frequent visits. Fascination
grew upon the enamored pastor with each

Corporations IN READING" AND WHAT
CAME OF THEM From the Philadelphia
Ledqer. 1.-The case alluded to yesterday OF
Il large amount Of forged paper discovered
on the market further excited the street
and by more extended examination the
amount before stated was largely increased
Instead of four banks being involved. and
those to the amount Of only $4,000, inveS-
tieation has increased the number of banks
yictimiZed to thirteen, and the amount of
forged paper to about $4,000, besides
some So 900 heard from at New York. 1t
was reported here Yesterday, we know not
how truly, that the party implicated in the
frauds could pay Of his own effects some Is
per cent. OF the amount of forged paper so
far discovered, and that there was a proba-
biltv that the difference would be made up
bv friends, thus saving holders from pecll-
mary loss. A meeting of the officers of the
bank was held III reference to this business,
with what conclusion we have not
learned. Accounts had been opened at all
the banks that hold the paper, and some of
them now hold very considerable balances
to the accounts credit. AS an evidence of
how little thing leads to the discovery of
matters OF much importance, it may be
mentioned that in this particular business
the attempt to correct an error in the date
of one Of the notes discovered by the Com
monwcalth Bank, being dated 1870 instead
of 1871, exposed the whole transaction.
The supposed drawer when called on dis.
claimed all knowledge of any such note.
Thus the matter was out, and that one for.
gerry being followed We have the aggregate
above stated. Inquiry as to what became
of Ill this money ELECTS the too common re-
sponse-Stock gambling! 1t seems that the
young man has been dealing in Reading

II is stated that the young Mr.. GRANT
who recently won golden opinions by his
decorous manners while on visit to 4
northern Governors not the rolllckinS Pre-
sldentiai son who, as one of the First Glass
1T West Point, recently "cat-hauled "
three cadets and expelled them from the
school. 1t is due to the Governors guest
of face that is "childlike and bland," that
he should not be confounded with the
nindiscreet" cadet. But we think that
the chances of success in life are rather
with the rampageous youth. 1t is not a
desperate sign by any means when you see
the effervescing spirit Of youth running
over q little. 1t is easier 10 check and
restrain an excess of animation and pluck
than it is to supply them where they are
wanting.
Nor do we admire the kind of discrimina-
ton touching the troubles at West Point
which seems to prevail in the Government.
First we had the whole country excited
about the troubles Of the black cadet, who
raised great complaint about maitreat-
ment. While he was accusing the whites
he was in turn accused OF lying, and what
Is worse, he was convicted Of it. The
court-martial severely censured the whites,
und subjected one OF them TO punishment,
but 1t let of the black youth most gently.
IT there is anything more appreciated in
personal conduct than another among the
gallant and brave soldiers, it is honor: per-
sonal sincerity and integrity. The court
martial, however, didn't tnink much Of this
>>sastidiousncss, Ind rocked the black boy to
sleepl9. the academy.
Now, the first class is to be expelled for
doing foolish thing in, possibly, moment
of excitement and indscretion. We would
sooner eXpel the liar than the mischievous
boy, and are convinced that the men in
authority who have spoken about and de-
cided these matters have violated the
fifteenth amendment In not making their
decisions irrespective of "race, color, or
previous condition of seryltude."

the boundary between Kentucky and Wiz

actively engaged in pushing the Lexington

ance has been afforded the local exertions
az will open line of railway to Lexington
in very short time-possibly not far from
the period of the completion Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway.
Then there is the probable line along the
south side of the Ohio from Big Sandy via
Maysvlle, possibly to Covington thus
making our connections with the Kentucky
system of railway complementary as
thorough as we can hope to see them when
General MAHoNE's consolidated line shall
have formed its junction with the Kentucky
roads via Cumberland Gap.
Returning to the north side of the Ohio,
the lines already built afford direct route
via DAYTON, Ohio, save, possibly, some
thirty or less miles of road to be built.
The roads that are built and the short
gaps that are in the programme OF the Cnes'
apcakc and Ohio road open to US the entire
lWcst and Northwest, and establish 1ur'
sthermore the connections which Will make
that great road the best line OF communlca'

ceedngly practical gentleman who is at the
head of that road appreciates the lmpor'
ftancc of this middle line of transportation,
and he fully understands the immense adj
vantage of easy grades. These are every
thing in the heavy freight business. by
coming down James river from Clifton
Forge to Richmond the road will have bet

l with it for the western carrying trade, ano
: of course it can work cheaper than any
i other, while it has the additional great al
