A Brutal Murder,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 59.-An extra of a Lexi ng-
ton paper gives a long, ambiguous account of
North Lexington Sunday night, brief mention
of which has already been telegraphed q In the
night, pistol shots were heard in the room oc
cupied by johnson and wife, and when the
family entered the room johnson was found
with bullet hole in his head, his skull broken
and his wife's head mashed to a jelly with an
axe. A letter was found addressed to Lorenzo
johnson, signed by B. III. johnson, Jr, in
which he says he committed the deed and had
determined to do it before leaving Lexington,
on account of his wife's infidelity. The state
ment in the letter is not believed, however. for
the reason that johnson could not write, and it
is suspected Lorenzo is the murderer, though
there is no positive evidence against him. About
ten o'clock Sunday morning the train from the
West came down, and just as Lorenzo was
getting aboard he was arrested for horse steal
ing and taken to Richmond, and at last ac-
counts fears were entertained that he would be
lvnched.

Another Trouble.

MEMPHIS, Aug 19.-Passengers by steamer
Thompson Dean reports intense excitement
and fears of a conflict between the whites and
blacks at Bernard or Old Grand Lake landing
in Chicot county, Ark. The trouble originated
in the killing of a white boy by negro some
days since. The negro took refuge in cane
brake and pursued by party of men and cap
tured, but while being conveyed to the jail es
ceped. Several shots were fred after him as he
disappeared in the cane. Some days after
wards some negroes found his body in the
woods and charged that be had been killed by
his white captors and the body concealed. This
spreal among the negroes who, it is reported,
threatened to kill six white men in revenge.
When the steamer passed White Sand, blacks
were arming and it was feared serious trouble
would ensue.
