.RETORTS OF LODGES.
The reports of the several lodges were on
the whole encouraging, showing determi-
nation to labor in the cause Of temperance to
the best of their ability One feature in
them attracted attention from the thought
full. namely that they received much dis
couragement and much opposition from
many men that formerly claimed to be tenn

1iur.;pr Over n Game uY Cards

A few minutes before nine O'Clock ias5
night party of men was engaged in a
game of cards in the coffeehouse of Widow
Sullivan, corner of Girod and Magazine
streets. A dispute concerning some trifing
point arose between jeremiah Fox and
John Duggan. The excitement and words
ran high, when Fox, so it is stated, stabbed
DUggan twice, the knife entering his left
breast just over the heart, and as death
ensued few seconds afterward it is sup
posed the heart was cut.
Before Duggan died be pointed at Fox,
charging him with the crime. Fox was ar
rested, as were William Gleason, John
Mehan, P. O'Neil and Barry Smith, they
being held as witnesses. The body was
sent to the first precinct station, where
DR.. Folwell will hold an inquest today.
The wound was one that must have been
made W ith terrible force, and it is a gapin 9
one. Deceased was a steamboatman, but
nothing further is known Of him. He was
about thirty gears old. Fox is also steam

Purchase of san Domingo.

We copy the following from the Wash
ington Chronicle:
When writing yesterday a commentary
upon an article in the Boston Globe relating e
to the purchase of San Domingo, we did not
imagine that before the paper reached the
}ress, news of the purchase of the island
would be telegraphed. In any event we had
ilot anticipated so extensive purchase as
that announced in yesterdays dispatches.
Instead of cOntenting themselves with GER
tain special privileges relating to the Bay
of Samana, etc, the stock company have,
if reports are true, gobbled up the whole
island, to the extent of the Baez govern
ment, and thus wiped out the San DomngO
nationality, and substituted that of an en-
terprising American stock company. Pull
man beng a member of the company has
secured a new field for palace cars. Clews
will acquaint the San Domingoans with the
mysteries of Wall street. Ames will set
up grand shovel factory, adding to it the
manufacture of plows. Fargo will show
what an express company can do; and thus
to the end Of the chapter all the wants of
the future island republic are to be cared
for, without hazard
Perhaps, however, We are too fast in
speaking of republic. 1t doth not yet ap-
pear what form of government the enter
prising company vouehsafe to the islanders.
He will undoubtedly see that the stock is
well watered for the benefit of new comers
But Samuel G. Howe, as president of the
new republic (if he is content to dispense
with a crown IN the presence of his sable
subiects) would seem to be a fitting az
rangement. He will show the benighted
people how to do some things not dreamed
of in their philosophy.
Seriously, we are taken aback by the
magnitude and boldness of this venture.
Uncle Sam will smooth his wrinkled front
and pat his children on the back, the while
he whispers in their ears-"smal craft
should keep near to the shore;' which,
being interpreted. means that having set
up business for themselves, they must re
member the lessons they have learned sit
ting at the feet of their sire
Ii tho facts have been truly set forth by
the friends of the San Domingo project,
this venture can hardly fail to be a lucrative
one in its commercial aspects. How much
money has been paid to Baez and his con
freres is not stated. The company is or
ganized with a capital Of $50, 100000. A
mere fraction of that sum has probably suf-
feed as the entering wedge.
The people ratified the transaction, we
are told. Whether it was by plebiscitum
or by their representatives, Bacz and
Cabral, will be made to appear in due time.
AS the company are to have their own
flag, we have little curiosity to know
whether they propose to run one once too
common upon the high seas-a black flag,
with skull and cross bones.
The running of q regular line of steamers
will keep Us posted until arrangements can
be made for telegraphic communication.

MURDER IN CLAIBORNE.
Respectable Lady Dragged from Her
Horse on the Highroad and MUIR

1
dered.
lFrom the Claiborne Advocate
On Tuesday evening the startling intelli
gence was brought TO Sheriff Aycock at
| Homer, that Mrs Kidd, living near Athens,
| had been missing from her friends for many
| hours, aud that a suspicion of her death by
| violence was entertained. When last seen
| she had mounted on horseback at the house
| of Mr.. Altman, neighbOr whom she had
| been visiting and had started home about
| dusk. Shortly afterward the horse she
| rode was found in field, a distance of not
| more than a half mile from where she
starred, riderless.
| Suspicion having been aroused, it was
| found upon inquiry that negro named
| Henry Moore, living near A. Ragland's
place, had had a quarrel with his wife that
day and whipped her. and had afterward
started toward Mr.. Allman's house. Upon
| examination Of the road, marks OF violent
struggle were found.
The neighborhood thereupon turned out
in mass, and it was learned on inquiry that
this negro had been seen by black children
near Mr.. Moreland's, walking by the side
of Mrs Kidd. 1t appeared to them as if
she wanted to speak but threatening mo-
ton he made at her with his arm prevented
her.
The woods and eve"y portion of the coun-
try was secured, though no further informa-
ton was obtained until dusk. when party
rode up to Calhoun's Mills. At that point,
happening to mention that Henry Moore
was the negro suspected this negro proved
at the moment to be present, and immedi-
ately upon hearing the remark broke and
run. He was hotly chased as far as r. q.
Evens' plantation, and had not, at last ac-
counts, been taken.
The place where the unfortunate lady
was last seen by the children was only
short distance from Calhoun's Mill, and
search was Immediately directed thither.
After an examination of every thicket
and clump of trees, the body was finally
found by Mr. S. Y. Gladney, Of the Homer
Drug Store and others, from whom we
gather these facts. The finding was about
a half an hour by sun, and the victim had
evidently been compelled to walk to the
spot where she had met her death. In the
opinion of those who had first seen the
corpse the life had not quilted the body later
than at sundown. The death wounds had
evidently been made with some knot of
wood that came conveniently to the hand
of the assassin, and with which he had frac-
tured her skull.
The body was taken from the thick Jungle
of woods in which it was found, and trans
ported to the house of her grief-stricken
family in wagon.
1t is needless to state that the dreadful
tragedy has been the only subject of CON
versation since it became known, and has
awakened a deep feeling of horror and
sympathy which will not be readily for
gotten.
