A Negro Murders a Woman Near Troy.

Last Monday evening about dark a
negro named Ben Powell, livisg two and
half miles from Troy, choked to death
tho wife Of one Ben Butler, better known
as Amanda Dyer. q negro woman about
forty-fve years of age.
l. .sppears that Powels's wife is crazy,
and euterta,ns an idea that the murdered
woman has bewitched her; besides,
Powell had been told, BY an old negro,
that Amanda certainly was . witch, and
that his wife was right in this mad
conjecture. Naturally superstitious and
ignorant, he readily believed the story,
and last Monday evening persuaded
two other negroes to 60 with him to
Buffers for the purpose Of taking
Amanda to his house and making her
"'take of the spell' he believed her to
have put upon his wife. By force they
succeeded 10 taking her, but instead Of
her presence having the desired effect
his crazy wife Immediately aew into
passion and attempted to kill her child
This frightened the negroes so badly that
they oil started off at full tilt. Amanda
running into the woods. Powell followed
her, and in short time returned to the
house. In answer to the inquiry where
the woman was, he said "she was down
in the woods" and that he had fixed
her." .....
The two negroes who had accompanied
him to Buffers became alarmed, and
Immediately went to Mr.. Extine's, who
lives about a quarter Of mile from
Powell's, and told him what had trans
pired. Mr.. Extine went with the negroes
and mado Powell 60 with them and SHOW
where the woman was. They found hel
in the woods dead, aud her murderer oon
fessed to having choked her to death.
Sheriff Wing hearing Of tho affair, i'm
mediately started for the scene of th,
murder. arrested Powell and placed bin
in confinement to await examination.

To tho Citizens OF Hurricane ard
Monroe townships.


Robert A. Campbell Of Louisiana and
John Roberts Of Clarksville, both Of Pike
county, Missouri, presented a petition to
the County Court on Monday, with the
proper number of names of tax payers
from your townships, asking for 40 cleo
tion to be held on the 23d DAY Of May
for the subscription Of township stock in
The Clarksville aud Western Railroad
Company; Hurricane township asking
the proposition Of subscrib;ng s76 900,
and Monroe township the submitting Of
the proposition Of subscribing $4,000 TO
the capital stock Of said road. e., ea
Against either Of theae proportions, as
the president Of the 81. Louis and
Keokuk railroad, / have not word to
say; on the contrary, am in favor Of
internal imp' ovements but l now speak
to you to warn you against misrepre.
seutatiou. The appropriation made to
the st. Louis and Keokuk railroad will
be collected from all the townships of
Lincoln county, aud the St. Louis aud
keokuk railroad will be built.
Tho failure of John 8. Wolf a. con-
tractor on this road will not defeat, but I
confidently believe will facilitate, the
early completion Of the st. Louis and
Keokuk railroad. couture you not to
deceive yourselves, or let others do 50.
Contractors frequently fail, but this does
not imply that the resources uf the road
are not ample to build it. The St Louis
and Kcokuk Railroad Company has suf.
6cient means to build its road, aud in
tends doing SO. The ouly question for
you to decide upon is, whether you,
under present circumstances, are willing
to tax yourselves for the building Of two
roads. If you vote your township sub.
scription, you will be taxed for the build
ing of both the 81. Louis aud Keokuk
and the Clarksville and Western rail
roads. As an old citizen, and having
many friends in your township, l con-
slider it my duty to make the above state
ment.
To the citizens of Lincoln county
would say, that the stock holders Of th'
St Louis and Keokuk railroad, though
best, for the interest Of the road, to hole
no election for the present year, ant
continue the same president and direc.
tors. There Is perfect harmony in tn
present board Of directors, and = deter
mination to complete the road at an earl.
day. Nearly nine miles Of the road ha
been completed in this county, for whicl
county bonds to the amount of S56, 900
have been paid. There is still remainin,
in the hands Of the county agent s244,
900, which think will insure the com
pletion of the road bed through tn
county. Other parties of reputation an
! means are waiting to make proposals 70
the completion and equipment Of tn
} entire road. The abandonment of tn
work by the contractors may cause tenn
porary delay, but as to the final compile
ton Of the road I have no doubt.
