LARCENY OF THIRTEEN HUN
DIED DOLLARS.
Arrest OF an Illinois Fugitive tn this
Rfaie.

Several months ago at Pekin, Fayette
county, Illinois, 81 300 was stolen from the
Office Of the Pekin, Peoria and Jackson Rail
road. A young man OF good moral chsrac-
ter was arrested as being the thief and cast
into iail, from which imprisonment by the
assistance of friends he made good his es-
cape and came to this State, where he has
since remained with an uncle residing IN
county adjacent to Davidson. A reward OF
$500 was offered for the apprehension OF
the fugitive whose Whereabouts until
quite recently, have been UP known
to the authorities Of his Stite.
Sheriff Reeves, Of Tazswell coulity,
Illinois, by watching the movements OF
man who was thought to be friend OF the
accused had reason to think the latter vas
some where near this city, where he form
ely resided. He accordingly came mere
and going to the adjoining county, with
the assistance of a town marshal arrested
the young man and left on the Louisville
train at one O'Clock this morning for Pekin,
Illinois. Sheriff Reeves informs us
that lis prisoner has always
enjoyed the esteem ard respect Of his peo-
pie at home, is highly connected both in
Illinois and in this State, and is OF the
opinion that he is not guilty of the crime
with which he is charged. How
ever tbs may be it is not for
us, conversant only with the
stated circumstances of his arrest and the
alleged taking Of the money, to pronounce
either one way or the other. Our reason
ia withholding the name Of the young man
is thus seen and noHunappreciated, both by
the public who have no interest in the affair
and by these friends and relations of the
accused to whom the circumstance must
needs be painful ofitself.

DESTRUCTION OF THE GALLAIIN
COTTON MILLS.
The Building and Contents Burned.
Loss $50 ,OOO-Insurancs $4,000.

The cotton mills owned by 81. Fitzgerald
& Co, AZ Gallatin, Sumner county, were
burned yesterday morning about o'clock.
The Waterman Just after ringing the bell
for the hands to commence work discov-
cred the building was en- fire in the 'pick
room,'' from the windows of which
SIN, Ike was Issuing. Quickly the alarm was
given and as 5istance summoned, but TO no
purpose. In short while the building
was wrapped in flames and soon destroyed,
together with the books, papers, machinery,
raw material and some amount of worked
stock, involving loss of $4,000, covered
By $4,000 insurance, of which it is thong bit
the Planters Insurance Company Gin which
II. Fitzgerald, enc of the losers by the
fire, has considerable s.ock) had a
partial policy. Some think the building
was fred by an incendia-y, while
others believe the fire resulted
from spontaneous combustion from
the oil and waste stuff in "the pick
room" The loss is a serious one, not
only to the unfortunate owners but to
Gallatin and the county. The mills were
conducted on large scale, affording an
honest means Of support TO many, now
without employment.
This mill had something like 2,Oe0
spindles, and be .ween eighty and one hum
dred hands were employed. The sheet
ings, domestics, and cotton yarns manu-
faciured at these mills had a reputation
throughout this entire portion of the coun-
try, and the mandatory sold freely all
the goods that they were able to turn out.
The mills were built as far back as 1850,
and were first run by q stock company.

NEGRO KILLED.

The Murderers Take Refuge fn q
Swamp and Defy the Civil AuthOri-
From the McMinnvile (Tenn.) New Era,
Sept. IL.
Intelligence reached town on Monday,
that on the day previous, Albert Rains,
colored, had been killed in the neighbOr-
hood of Jscksboro, in this county, by Lewis
Brown and G. Ellison. It is reported that
theygive as reason for the killing OfRains,
that be and another negro made an attack
upon Brown aud Ellison; and that he was
beating one of the white men at round
rate, when the other deliberately shot Rains
dead; the ball passing in little to the right
of the heart. The two men fed from JUS
tice, and declare their intention not to be
taken by the civil authorities. 1t is reported
that they have been joined by some nine of
their comrades, and have taken refuge in
large swamp near Morrison, and are
determined not TO surrender TO the officers
Of the law. -- ... ....
We hope this determination may not be
persisted in, as il can result in 10 good to
the parties committing the deed, but will
only certainly operate to their prejudice
when brought to justice. II the facts are
as has been stated, it would certainly be the
part of prudence to submit their conduct
to a jury oftheir peers, rather than defy the
laws of the country, and declare themselves
superior TO its enactments. We hope the
parties may think better Of their foolish de-
termination and submit to the pesceable
enforcement of the law, assuring them and
their friends that such acourse is their only
means OF safety.

GnLnEN WORDS.

Half the vices in this world rise out Of
cowardice, and one who is afraid OF lying is
usually afraid of nothing else.
If a cause be good, t violent attacks 81
its enemies viii not injure it so much as an
injudicious defense Of it by its friends.
To see Gods hand in every trial IS tha
way to bear it; and when tried by the storms
of life, may we think Of the joys OF heaven.
Truthfulness is a cornerstone IN chaTac-
ter; if not firmly laid in youth, there VII
always be a weak spot in the founfation'
A helping hand to one in trouble IS often
like switch on a railroad track-but one
inch hswee2 a wreck and smooth rolhng
prosperity.
To succeed in the world, 1t is much
more necessary to possess the penetration
to discover who is fool than to discover
who is clever man.
An old writer has quantity said: "God
looks not at the oratory of our prayers,
how eloquent they are; nor at their geone-

metic, how many they are; nor at their log
ic, how methodical they are; but he looks
at their sincerity, how spiritual they are"

IRISH WIT-ERELAND'S HEART
NOT YET BROKEN.

The London Daily Ne,cs says: "a
book of modern Irish anecdotes has yet to
be written. There is not town or city in
the island without its budget of contempt
rary wittcisms, applicable not only to local
but to rational occurrences. Cork would
be famous district TO beat up for this pur-
pose. 1t still retains a number of wits IN
whom the racy faculty of the soil has not
become impaired or generated. And
throughout the rural parishes wealth OF
novel and modern stories might be picked
mp by the skilled chifonnieT who would
give his mind to the task.
at is mistake to accept the account OF
the Nationalist journalists that the heart OF
Ireland is broken. The heart of ireland
beats healthily and heartily enough under
an improving commercial prosperity, aad
although there may be an absence of that
unrestrained joviality itypified by d. (.

pie of all classes in the country remsin as
hospitable and as bright-humored as ever

IndenniseIy Postponed.

The daring youth who proposed to leap
from the Suspension bridge into the river,
has not yet attempted that rash perform
ance. The delay may be reasonably attri-
buted, to the fact that sufficient amount
of money to induce the effort has not yet
been in sight. 1t may therefore be taken
for granted that the daring leap indicated
has been indefinitely postponed, or at least
deferred until enough money is raised
which is the same thing.
