Broad Day 1Iaskers A Prisoner
Driven through the Brush Tied to a
Horse, Amid n shower OF Bullets.
Troy, Mo-, Nov. Thames NJ. Legue
stole a horse from near Auburn, in this
county, and was arrested at Jefferson City
and brought to Auburn yesterday for ex-
animation. Last night about fifty men,
with their faces BACKED, attempted to seize
him for the purpose of hanging him, but
through the strategy of the constable, Wal
ters, he was saved from them. At his ex-
animation to-day he was committed for
trial, having confessed the theft.
This afternoon the constable and a posse
of four men started with him for this place
TO commit him to the county Jail. About
a mile and half out from Auburn, four
men with black faces rode out from the
bushes, knocked Walters, who had drawn
his revolver to defend the prisoner, from
his horse, and shot Legue, the ball enter
ing his back near the shoulder blade
and coming out in front. Degue
was tied to the horse, which
took fright and galloped through
the woods, followed by the mobbers, who
kept up rambling fire. Legue's clothes
were torn from his body, and he was hor-
ribly mutilated by the brush. He was
found to be alive, and from his condition it
is not thought the wounds will cause his
death. He was taken TO house near by.
Ii is thought the lynchers will return to-
night and finish him. They are supposed
to come mostly from Montgomery county,
where Legue also stole a horse. Legue
has served two terms in the penitentiary for
hOrSe-Stealing.

We doubt if there is city in the Union,
no larger than our own, which can show as
great an improvement in the way of public
buildings within the past twenty months.
During the time named, there have been
erected, or are now in course of erection,
and being rapidly completed, the following
buildings:
Ninth ward and Fogg school buildings,
blind school building, Cumberland Pres
byterian Church, addition to Tennessee
Central University, Moore Memorial
Church, Vanderbilt University, West End
Church, colored Baptist Church, jew
ish Synagogue, Fisk University, the UNION
AND AMERICAN building and Banner
building, representing an actual expendi-
ture Of something over 100000.
In addition to this, the Burns block has
been erected at a cost of $4,000, Douglas
immense warehouse, costing some $4,000.
Several thousand dollars have been ex-
pended on the Capitol grounds, and there
have also been great many fine residences
erected by our citizens within the period
referred TO.
Then our City Council has shown a dis
position to keep abreast with the times by
repeating the hog ordinance, taking steps
TO establish new water-works at cost Of
100000; and, lastly, the erection of a
fire alarm telegraph 70 cost So, 500.
And yet we have in our midst people
who speak sneeringly of Nashville as an
sold fogy," a 'slOw coach"

BETRAYED BY A FRIEND. /.
what an Darlington Husband Pound
Out when He got Home.

a sensation involving the peace of an
estimable family is now agitating the town
of Darlington, on the St. Louis and South
eastern railway. Some time since young
man of that place, a clerk in an Darlington
store, met an old friend who had located in
the growing little town. The clerk in
vited him 20 accept the Inequalities Of his
mansion, which invitation was complied
with. The friend was well received by
the pretty wife of the clerk, and everything
passed Of so pleasantly that the friend was
invited to renew these visits. He did, first
reluctantly, but Afterwards frequently, IN
til his intercourse with the clerks wife be-
came so intimate as to cause reports Of a
scandalOus nature to be circulated.
The young husband became so displeased
by this state of affairs that he left the place,
and obtained a situation in another lOealI-
ty, where he remained for some weeks.
Last Sunday morning he returned to his
home in Darlington hoping to find his wife
repentant and behaving better, but was
disappointed, as he found the relationship
between her and the faithless friend, crimi-
nally intimate. A number of hours after
his return 10 the town, the unfortunate
husband was found unconscious, and in a
dangerous condition at his residence. EPhy-
sicians were called, and pronounced him
nearly dead from the effects Of an opiate or
some other narcotic. Prompt relief was af-
fOrded him, but he remained a long time
apparently at deaths door. 1t is not known
how he came to this condition. Some be
lieye it was an attempt at suicide on his
part, while others are firm in their conyic-
lions that the wife and her paramount at
tempted to rid themselves of the presence
of the devoted husband. The affair will
receive thorough investigation.

1t is on the cards that the city of
Nashville will joIlify over the recent
victories of peace and good viii on next
Thursday evening. Prominent speak
ers have been invited from various Sec
tions of the country, and among
those who will attend and address
our people are Governor McEnne-
~, of Louisiana, whose cause
has become synonymous with that of
right against might, and Hon. Proctor
Knott, Congressman elect from the
Fourth Kentucky District whose ia
nous Duluth speech, convulsed the
country into laughter from centre to
circumference. 1t rests with
our people to make the occasion
all it should be and worthy of the capt.
tai of the old volunteer State. The
committee in charge will be active in
their preparations during the few days
intervening, and should be seconded
theoretically by disenthralled people.

The Cumberland aud Ohio Railway

We copy from the GGlIdtin Examiner Of
Yesterday, a letter addressed to Col. j. j.
Turner, Vice President of the Cumberland
and Ohio Railroad Company, by the Trus-
tees Of the Cincinnati Railway, which will
explain ITSELF Col. Turner spent some
time this fall in Cincinnati in visiting its
business men upon the subject of assistance
10 his road, and he has received every as
surance of substantial aid. The building
of the Cincinnati Railway is now an as
sured fact, and it requires a branch Of only
thirty-sWo miles to connect the two roads
from Lebanon to Danville, KY, and ensure
an air line from Nashville to Cincinnati:
CINCINNATI SOUTHERN RAILWAY, en-
CINNATI, Nov. II, 1S74.-J. j. Turner,
Esq, Vice President Cumberland and Ohio
Railroad, Gallatin, Tenn.-Dear Sir: The
Board OF Trustees Of the Cincinnati South
ern Railway have had under consideration
your communication Of Sept. 4, 1874, &C
cOmpanied by the petition Of citizens OF
Nashville, Tenn, in behalf Of the estab-
lishment Of a shorter line Of railway COM
muDieatiOn with Cincinnati than that now
existing, and in response thereto | am di-
rected to advise you that, while the pro-
visions Of the law delegating and defining
the powers Of the trustees win prevent them
from extending to the road you represent
any peeuniary assistance, it has their warm
est sympathy, and shall have, if needed,
their moral support, both as a Board, so faJ
as it can consistently be given, and indi-
vidually, to the fullest extent Of their per-
sonal influence.
They recognize no conllictiOn Of inter
est in the prosecution of the work Of con-
Meeting at the same time, both roads, and
the benefits which will surely accrue from
the success OF each enterprise, are regarded
as wholly mutual.
The Board also fully appreciate the adj
vantages, which will follow the building Of
an independent and competing line to
Nashville, and they believe they reflect the
unanimous sentiments Of the Mercantile
and Manufacturing interests of Cincinnati
in their willingness to encourage, and aid,
as best they can, the active prosecution to
a successful contamination, Of any enter
prise, which will establish and maintain
more intimate commercial relations than is
at present existing between the two cities.
This is the desire Of the Board, that you
convey to the business men Of Nashville,
who united in the petition hsrein referred
TO, the assurance OF the respectful consider
alton with which it has been received, and
of the support which the members Of the
Board, both collectively and individually,
will be pleased, if called on, to extend in
behalf of the enterprise for which you and
they have appealed.
Very respectfully yours,
III. II. TATEM,
Secretary and Auditor.
