THE WOLF CLAIM AND THE Sr. l.. AND
X. Il. R.-Mr. =. r. Voolfolk, president
Of the St. Louis and Keokuk railroad, re.
turned from St. Louis the other day, where
he had been attending the SUIT Of the
former contractors Of this road against the
company. He informs US that tho suit
was not closed, but that arrangements
had been made to refer the matter to a
commissioner to be appointed by the
Court, who will look up all the claims
and evidence and decide thereon, thus
taking the matter out Of the hands of a
jury. The Company look upon this as
being very favorable to them (the Com
pany), and hope for an early solution Of
the matter. The result OF this suit will
probably have some bearing upon the de
cision Of Mr.. Walkers contracting com.
pany in accepting or rejecting the con
tract for building the road. At presen,
the indications are that the road will soor
be under contract again and in the hand
Of reliable contractors; but as there
is "many a slip 'twixt the cup and thu
lip," we cannot say how 1t will end. Bat
contractors and an untiring opposition t.
the road from many quarters has retarded
tho work greatly; but since SO mucl
money has been expended, it i, to b
hoped these obstacles will be overcome
and that the thousands already expcndc
will not have been thrown away.

DROWNING OF THE GRUBB CHILDREN.
The rain last Saturday was the heavi-
est that has fallen in this latitude for
many months, and more rain fell on that
day than ever before within the recol.
lection of most men. The waters are
said not to have been so high since 1853
Fences and bridges we're washed away in
many places, and the larger streams were
rendered impossible. An embargo was
placed on travel in most directions for all
day Sunday. There were many danger
Gus exploits attempted in swimming
streams, and many narrow escapes from
watery graves Elsewhere we print n
telegram mentioning the drowning Of
three children near Laddonia. The oc
currence really happened about six or
seven miles north of Laddonia, in Littlo
creek. The party was returning from
Illinois, and consisted Of man, his wife,
s'stcr.in law and four children. They
were in q lumber wagon with trunks,
plow, clover seed, and other articles. AS
soon as they drove into the stream it was
found to be very deep and the current
strong they were all overturned into
the food, and team. wagon, and persons
went floating away. One boy of sixteen,
and the large persons were saved, but
the mother had sunk twice or three times
before she reIinquished her babe, and
then saw it floating away from her in the
turbid stream, imploringly extending its
arms for assistance. One child of eight
and another of twelve years were also
drowned. The bodies of all were recov
cred on Sunday. The event was a sad

A WHITE MURDERER.
A Negro Shot Dead for Attempting to Remove His
Cowardly Assassin Seeking Safety
in Flight-The Arrest AT
ter Being Wounded

RICHMOND, Va, May s, 1872.
The intelligence OF the murder OF Sam Hte by
Daniel Davis, at Lockleven Township, Luncnburg
county, yesterday has created quite sensation
here, owing to the antecedents OF the victim and
the murderer and of the circumstances that pre-
coded and attended the tragedy. Especially has the
latter become notorious account of the profanity
OF his utterances and the avowed rreguarity OF his
life, he being OF those peculiar individuals who
treat women after the fashion of the Turks and
Arabs, and believe the marriage ceremony bore
and a nuisance.
HISTORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
There lived on Davis place a negro woman. I'M
married, who had number Of children. This wo-
mans sister, married the negro Hite shortly after
which the woman herself died, the expenses Of her
burial being betrayed by Davis. 1t would seem,
however, that he expected to make good this out
slay from the effects which the dead woman left.
Hite claimed them account OF his wife, and,
being refused permission to remove them, placed
them in cart at night and was making or with
them. Davis followed, and, overtaking the man in
the road, demanded their return. The negro re-
fused to carry them back or surrender them, and,
it is said cursed Davis, who struck him on the head
with his stick. The negro, in retaliation. struck
Davis with heavy piece OF single tree the arm,
after which the latter
DREW HIS PISTOL AND SHOT HITE DEAD,
fonr balls taking effect on his person. Davis was
arrested, but for some reason was soon discharged.
Apprehensve that trouble was to come OF the mat
from the country. He concealed himself near his
house when party OF white citizens came TO arrest
him. Seeing from his conceament some of the men
who had formerly arrested and afterward released
him, he felt easier, and when they had left he
ventured out. Another party was however,
close behind, and soon commanded him
to halt and give himself up He refused to surren-
der, when man named Black fired on him, infiict-
ing two serious wounds, one in the hip and another
in the arm. He then secured, and has been
kept closely guarded ever since.
The affair has excited great interest in the
county, and the examination before the magistrates
is looked forward to with good deal Of interest,
more particularly because the white man Is the de-
lnquent. Justice will, however, be certainly meted
out.

DETROIT, Mich. May 8, 1872
Last November a murder was committed about
five miles from here under most mysterious cir
cumstances, and what seemed likely to be dead
secret for all time Is now brought to light
One night, about twelve O'Clock, Dcnnison
Miller, q well to do farmer, was awakened
by noise. His wife got up, thinking it was

its escape. masked man rushed In past her ;

word stabbed Miller to the heart killing him in.
stanty. Every effort was made
TO FIND THE MURDERER.
A large reward was offered and several persons
were arrested on suspicion, but finally discharged,
and all hopes were given up OF the murderer ever
being brought to Justice. All this time that the
search was being made the murderer was in daily
contact with those searching and entirely unsus
pected, and his discovery was only accidental two
three weeks ago. powerful young man of
nineteen, named william Smith, was arrested for
twice attempting to throw railroad trains or tho
track near this city. He was bailed, and imme
dately after set barn on fire, when lie was
rearrested and confined to Jail. From some mad
vertent remark
SUSPICION or HIS COMPLETELY

charged with the crime, and made confession that
he had contemplated the murder for some time,
though he seems to have had to special motive. He

with the son OF his employer on the night of the
murder. He rose, administered chorOform to his
sleeping companion and then got out Of the win
dow. He sought the house Of the victim and com
mitted the fatal deed; after which he returned to
his bed When the alarm was given he turned out
with the others in search Of the murderer. The
next day he was among the crowd discussing the
affair, but betraying
NO SIGN OF THE DEADLY SECRET.
He remained in the neghborhood for some time
after the excitement had subsidized, and but for his
reckless attempts at wholesale slaughter and arson
would never have been suspected. To-day he was
arraigned plead guilty and was committed for trial.
He seems to be Indifferent reckless to the con-
sequences. He has been called insane account
of his other deeds but the physicians who have ex-
amined him, say that he has no symptoms Of in

Public Criticism of the River Training Perform.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, May 5, 1877
The Echo newspaper Of to-day contains critical
article upon the performances Of the ATLANTA boat
crew of New York, who practice daily on the
Thames.
The writer says:-"Their performances are ex-
ceedingly good, their action is fine and their
time and leatherng are simply perfect They
are nevertheless somewhat deficient in dash and
power; betray a disposition to hang at the finish Of
the stroke, and do not pick out the blades cleanly
and promptly. Practice will, however, reetify these
faults
The London boatmcn all regard the New Workers
as fine, able crew, whose appearance upon the
river is very snowy and elicits the admiration OF
spectators. great struggle is certain on the 10th
OF June.
