ANOTHER FIRE.

MORE HAY DEsTRoYED-A STACK IN BRANDY
WINE BURNED.
Yesterday afternoon about half past three
o'clock, a fire was discovered in stack of hay
Mt the corner Of Twenty-frst and Lammott
streets, Ninth Ward. The alarm was given,
and some Of the fire engines proceeded at once
to the scene of the fire, and got into operation
but the hay was too far gone to be saved, and
it was almost entirely destroyed. The flames
stack and prevented from spreading to the ad
joining property.
The stack contained about tons, and was
owned by John Mccall, and was raised in the
same crop with that owned by Mr.. John Cook
which was burned last Tuesday morning. Like
the first, this last fire is supposedto have re
suited from spontaneous combustion.

Still Hunting the Murderer-A Re,pard Offered
for his Capturc-His Photograph-Hs
Whereabouts Still Unknown.
Yesterday evening, Jas. Mackey, brother
|of the Robert A. Mackey who was murdered
near Odessa, returned from Dover, where he
held an interview with Governor Ponder rela-
tive to the Offering OF a reward for the appre-
hension of the murderer. The result OF the
interview was that the Governor offered re-
ward OF $500, and a proclamation to this effect
will be found in our advertising columns. 1t
is probable that an additional reward will be
offered by the father of the murdered man.
There are no new developments in relation
| to the circumstances of the murder, and but
] few in relation to the flight of the murderer.
| Since his brief stay at the City Hotel on the
evening of the 4th instant, nothing definite is
l known of his whereabouts, and it is very prob
able that he left the city that night, in what
direction no one at present knows. The story
| about his going to New York ON the Hudson is
l not now generally credited. There was gen.
tleman on that trip, who, according to parties
who are acquainted with both, bears an I'M
fortunate resemblance to Taylor. This fact,
without doubt, originated the report that
HTaylor was seen on the boat.
This morning, George w. Ortip, of the Del
aware House, showed us ferrotype OF Taylor,
Scopied from daguerrotype taken within q
i year or two. This ferrotype represents a
Iyoung man of open, pleasing countenance,
with rather large mouth and a tuft OF whis-
kers on the chin. The picture does not indl-
cate the evil look out of the eyes which Tay-
lor is said to possess, but that look can posi-
bly, be assumed and laid aside at pleasure.
/ The story about the trouble which Taylor
got into over an indecent assault upon two
L young ladies, near his home, has been gener-
ally circulated in various forms. 1t happened
in this manner Taylor and friend accom-
, panied the young ladies home from picnic,
and while passing through the woods assault
ed them in an indecent manner. The ladies
: afterward made complaint, but as Taylor and
his friend had been palming themselves of
on that day under other persons names, two
= = innocent young men got into temporary trou
BILE over the affair. Taylor was then Obliged
i to leave home, and it was shortly. after thi;
: that he met Mackey at Newark and accompa
MED him on that fatal journey.

Small pOy.

Two or three weeks ago young mar
named Il. s. Roberts, who was part,
raised at Athens, returned here from
Chattanooga sick, and in q few days
died of what was reported TO be small
pox. In announcing his death we failed
tomcntion the disease, because we had
not been professionally advised rs to its
real character. We learned last Mon
day that two more cases had occurred
the widow of Roberts and q Mrs. Ma
lone whose husband waited on Roberts
and assisted in burying his remains.
These cases are OF q mild form, and both
patients are getting well. Malone lives
beyond The railroad, and Mrs. Roberts
in the Howe house on the hill, remote
from any other habitation, and as pro.
per precautionary measures have boon
adopted by the authorities, there Is but
little danger Of the disease spreading
and no reasonable cause for alarm.
Small pox readily yields to competent
and timely medical treatment, and rare.
ly proves fatal TO persons of robust
health and temperate habits. No one,
however, who has not been vaccinated
should fail to have that done at once by
q regular physician.

Wholesale Murder.

A deadly conflict took place between
some parties at TazewelI, Tenn, on
Monday or Tuesday OF last week, which
resulted in the killing of three men.
The Knoxville Chronicle says OF the
affair:
From what we could gather, it seems
that Thos. Brooks, his son, and James
Russell, had an old grudge against n
man named Daniel Little, formerly
a resident Of Virginia, and that on the
day III question these parties renewed
the quarrel under pretext Of taking
part for some candidate for county
Office when desperate fight ensued,
in which Brooks, his son and Russell
were all three killed by Little, who
made good his escape into Virginia.
We did not learn as 10 whether Lit
tie or he other parties brought about the
last difficulty, and hence can only give
the result Of the same, which is certain
ty to DO deplorcd in civilized com.

To Wheat Growers.

The Secretary Of the Eastern Division
Fair Association, Knoxville announces
a premium of $4,000 for the best and
largest yield Of wheat on one acre Of
land, the land to be measured and tho
amount Of wheat raised TO be sworn to
by three disintclested persons, and pre-
sented TO the Committee Of Agricul-
tural Products at the time Of holding
the Fair The competitors must also
exhibit a sample Of the wheat raised of
not less than one half bushel. The GER
tihcate may be fled by the Secretary at
any time before tho opening of the Fair.
Can't some one Of the McMinn farmers
successfully compete for that premium +?

Consistency.

If some OF our radical contemporaries
would turn their attention to the SUBJ
ject of Federal abuses for awhile and
cleanse their own household OF the
rocking corruptions which smell TO
heaven, they could then get down to the
investigation Of lesser evils with more
propriety and consistency. Those who
din the public ear about Nashville aud
have no word of condemnation for the
monstrous evils at Washington, will
never deceive anybody but themselves.
The absence Of sincerity lie so transpar-
emf that none but the perverscly blind
can fail TO see II.
