MORGAN COUNTY ITEMS.

We condense the following
items fIom the last number of the
Morgan MeycaUy:
r. S. Miller, who escaped from
the Morgan county Jail in Janu-
airy last, when the Jail was burned,
and was recaptured and confined
in the Jail in Martinsburg, was
tried at the last term of the Nor
gan Circuit Court on the charge of
completely with Morgan and
Thompson in the robbing of Mr..
George w. Hovermale's store, and
was acquitted of the charge.
Mr.. Murray F. Shilling had
about 500 panel of fence destroyed
by fire last Tuesday.
Messrs. r. r. Buck and Joshua
Miller, of the vicinity of Berkeley
Springs, have gone on a trip to
Kansas.
The thermometer reached 80 de-
grees in Berkeley Springs last
Monday.

Vernon Centre claims to have
the biggest elm tree in Vermont.
1t is six feet four inches in diam
eter, and less than one hundred
years old.
That controversy about Mt. Ar
arat continues, put there's no use
locating it in the United States
just because Noah came out of the
Ark and saw.
The Bishop Of Nancy has been
summoned to Paris. The reason
of the call appears to be connected
with the late incidents which led
to that prelate's being taken be-
fore the German legal authori-
ties.
The Chief of Police of San
Francisco, in his laudable efforts
to do all he can for the convent
ence and comfort of the local
news gatherers, has labelled a
New Testament "For reporters
only"
A number of the agricultural
laborers who were turned from
work by their employers in the
eastern counties of England for
sympathizing with a strike, have
arrived in Quebec. They are
very poor, but above the average
English laborer in intelligence,
and are willing to work.
A Canadian writer complains
that the United States are draw
ing away their most gifted min
listers by the potent magnet OF
money. He thinks that Cana
dian churches are as a rule as
large and wealthy as those of the
United States, and as well able to
pay. But they don't pay.

threatening.


threatening.
NEW York, May IA Little
Rock special of last night says =
The city is still under military
rule. Armed men are constantly
parading the streets and pickets
are stationed on every corner
Firearms are handled most care
lessly, and one or two accidents of
an unimportant character have
been the result. This afternoon a
Lone Oak company Of Bakers
men left town, firing their guns
loaded with balls as they went
This was continued until they
were far ont in the country, and 1t
was afterwards reported that two
men were seriously wounded by
accident.
BROOKS STILL HOLDS THE STATE
HOUSE.
The state house Is still controlled
by Brooks forces, although at the
request Of Baxter guard Of II $.
soldiers have been stationed there.
BROOKS DEFTANr,
Brooks, Notwithstanding recent
events, is still defiant, and appears
to be confident Of ultimate success.
He states that he feels assured that
a majority Of the voters are in his
favor, and that lie feels certain that
the President acted unadvisedly
and hastily in the matter.
BAXTER THINKS BROOKS HAD BET
TER LEAVE.
Baxter stated to-day that the
statutes Of the State declared that
treason was punishable with death
that Brooks and several of his prin
cipal followers had been guilty Of
treason, and that should they be
convicted, he as governor, could
not, under the law, pardon them.
For this reason the Wisest course
Brooks could pursue would be to
leave the State. He would not
order nor recommend him to do
so, but in case he remained in Ar
kansas the consequences could not
fail to be very serious.
ALARMING REPORTS FROM THE
COUNTRY.
a Dispatch from Pine Bluff
Corner says: Murphy, Brooks ne
gro leader, is here on his way to
Bogy for The purpose of arousing
the NEGROES. For Gods sake stop
him, or have him stopped, or the
whole country will be ruined, A
dispatch from Little Rock, late in
the evening says. Reports from
the country tonight continue to
be most alarming. At Duvall's
Bluff shots were exchanged be-
tween Baxter man and one of
Brooks supporters. The former
was dangerously wounded. AT
Pine Bluff two or three ARRAYS oc-
cured during the day. The first
and most serious was caused by
the seizure by party of Baxter
men of arms in the possession of
Brooks forces that lett here last
night. Two men were wounded.
The arms were restored after the
iacts in the case had been stated
to the commander here. King
White will proceed to Pine Bluff
in serch of Murphy, the negro,

We are glad to note that the
INDEPENDENT has again been the
means Of saving money for the
tax payers of Berkeley county. 1t
cost the county two hundred and
fifty dollars to get the testimony of
Prof Bertolet, the Philadelphia
expert, at the trial ofTalifero dur
ing the November term ofthe Cir
cult Court. The INDEPENDENT
published the testimony in fulls
and so correct, that the attorney
for the State and defense agreed
that ifProf. Bertolet was here, that
would be his testimony, thus saw
ing to the tax payers two hundred
and fifty dollars. As another evil
dence of the worth and reliability
Of the INDEPENDENT, we deem it
proper to state Il at the counsel for
prosecution use a copy Of the
Weekly independent, and the cOun-
sci for the defence the files of the
Daily Independent, both of which
contain full notes of all the evil
dence taken at the former trial.
Who now says the INDEPENDENT
is not live newspaper?
