son, on account OF the cholera and the fnan-
cial panic, improvements in building are

Dowd Immediately ran to the police sta
ton and reported the facts, whereupon

The Negro Etrbee.

Charles Firbee, the negro now confined
in Jail for having killed his wife last week,
manifests, as yet, no regret for the bloody
deed. BE told one of the tu-nkeys yester-
day that he thought he was illegally con-
fined, and should be set free. A partial ex-
animation was made by DR.. McMurray, the
jail PHYSICAL yesterday, for the purpose Of
ascertainiug whether or not the man is
really sane, but the doctor is not yet pre-
pared to announce bis opinion on the sub
ject. rl
1t is said that Firbee was injured when 3
boy, by having wagon wheel pass over bis
head, the marks being still visible. 1t is
difficult to believe that sane man could
commit so fearful crime, and seem as
nnconcerned about il as this man DOES.

SinfuI SiftinGs.

I Mention was made in these columns a
few days since, of darby by the name of
Harrison Walker having escaped from Gus
tody while being tiled by Squire Dillahunty
of the 14.h district, on the charge of shoot
In q mule belonging to Jack Travis.
Walker bad revolver which he used in
very careless and reckless manner as he
ran, and, owing to this fact, bis pursuers
did not possess that degree of enthusiasm
in 'sclosiBg I'M on him which they might
have done under other circumstances.
After leaving Squire Dillahunty's temple
of justice in the unceremonious manner
above indicated, Walker HE'D himself away
to this city, and took up temporary quarters
at house on Demonbreun street, where he
was gobbled Sunday afternoon, by officers
Reed and Ryman. At the time of bis ar
rest be had his shooting iron, bnt made no
attempt to use it. He is a light, fragile
creature, weighing only two hundred and
iifty pounds. A reward had been offered
for bis arrest.
Doc Harper, aged II, drives a team be-
longing to Mr.. Tom Miller. He was sent
yesterday to get load Of wood at a yard
on Front street, which yard is presided over
with more or less dignity by j. z. Rsls.oD.
Harper intimated that Ralston charged too
much for his wood, which charge the latter
resented and high words between the par
ties ensued. Ralston picked up a stick and
started toward Harper, who drew his little
pistol and fred it several times, but fortu-
nately hit no one. He was arrested at
once, taken before Squire Everett and fined
two dollars and costs.
Geo. Schube was arrested on the charge
of making an assault upon man who had
incurred bis displeasure. he will be intro
diced to Judge Duling this morning.
Ii Eidridge Cooper can convince the po-
lice Judge this morning that he has paid for
the privilege of using water from the by
drant at bis house, be is all right, other
wise he will probably be muIcted to the ex-
tent of a V.
Henry Landers attracted the attention of
the police yesterday by the careless and
reckless manner in which he urged his
Pegasus through the streets Of Nashville,
and as there is an ordinance prohibiting
careless driving on our streets, Mr.. Lsnders
was checked in his wild career and notified
to appear at the police court to-day.

Hon. w. p. T0IIey Cat TO Pieces with
an AK by an Infatuated Negro-The

From the Lynchburg Pioneer, Oct. "a,
Hon. W. P. FOLEY, late representative OF
Lincoln county in tho lower branch OF the
General ) ssembly, residing about fi7e miles
from Lynchburg, on the Fayetteville and
Lynchbnrg turnpike, was assaulted by q
negro man Wednesday morning and horri-
bly, maneled with choppiDg ak. The facts,
as we learn them from parties who saw and
heard Capt. ToIley relate them, are about
IS follows: Capt. Tolley has had a family
of negroes living on his premises some time
that formerly belonged to his father, and
from some cause or other they had got into
q dispute about matters pertaining to the
farm, and the captain ordered them to
leave bis premises. he told Wiley, the ne
gro man, to go ard hitch bis mules to the
wagon snd move his mother and I, mily OF
his place, that he was determined
that they should live with him
no longer. Instead of doing this, the negro
picked up his ak and went into the woods,
a short distance from the house and com.
menced chopping wood. Mr.. FOLEY, see
ing that his order had not been obeyed,
went to the negro and asked him why be
did not do as be was told? At this the ne
gro made use of some insulting language,
and drew his AK on Mr.. Tolley. Mr.. Toll
ley then drew his pistol and ordered the
negro TO lay down his ak, but instead OF
LAYING the ak down he dealt Mr.. FOLEY
blow with it and felled him to the ground.
The negro then struck Capt. Toley several
blows with the sharp edge Of the ak, one OF
which came very near severing his LETT leg
from his body. A neighbor passing by
heard the noise and went over to wherethe
negro was and ordered him to lay the ak
down. The negro replied that if be did so
Mr.. Tolley would kill hin, and then drew the
ak on the young man and ran him off. The
negro then fed to the woods, carrying his ak
with him, and up to this writing has not
been heard of.
Mr.. Tolley was soon afterwards picked
up by bis neighbors and carried to his res
idence, when medical assistance was i'm
'mediately dispatched for.
On examination four CHASTITY wounds
were found on Cspt. Tolley's body, either
one of which seemed sufficient TO deprive
him of his life. A cash, some six or eight
inches long, was cut along side OF the back
bone, chipping off part of the bone and
severing one of his ribs. Another in the
left arm, splitting the muscle near the
shoulder wide open, and another on the
right shoulder blade that you could lsylyour
hind in. The wound on bis leg is horrible,
and if Mr.. Tolley is permitted % live, this
of itself will necessary render him a cripple
for life. At this writing Mr.. Tolley is rest
ing quite easy and is doing as well as one
could possibly expect under the above cir
cumstances. Mr.. Tolley and family have
the sympathy of the entire people in his
sad affection and It is earnestly hoped that
the negro will be caught and brought to
justice.
LATER-Since the above was put in type
we learn thar the negro has bean captured
aud that Caut. Tolloy is not expected to
live through the night.
