4 Murderer Arrested

Our readers will remember few days
since, a communication in regard to the
killing of Thos. Ausmus, near Speedwell,
Tennessee, on the Sd day of January. A
reward of $500 was offered by J. l.. Aus
mus for the arrest of Annias Honeycutt,
the perpetrator of the crime. We learned
Tuesday, that the. murderer had been ar
rested aud delivered over to the proper au-
thorities. We could not obtain the psrtic-
ulars about the arrest, or the name of the
party who effected it.

Died of Her Injuries.

DR.. Alexander returned on Friday from
Rogersville, where he had been to give
medical attention to the poor unfortunate
Betty Mulberry, or Pinkston, who was run
over by the train on Thursday. He re-
ports that she died yesterday morning
about O'Clock, after n night of terrible
suffering. She was quite young woman
some Is or 10 years of age, and without
parents, friends, or relatives, and had wan
dered away from the poor house near
Greenevilie, where she had been for some
time. He says that the poor woman was
barefooted and almost naked when over
taken by the sad accident.
In addition to the injuries received as
mentioned in yesterdays issue, her back
was badly injured aud, taking all the in
lurles together, there was scarcely posi-
pity OF her recovery. Although she had
been ain idiot, some hours before her death
she came to her right senses and remained
so until her death. She conversed freely
of her approaching end, and prayed that
the hour might be fastened, as she longed
to be freed from her terrible suffering and
be at rest in heaven, which place she had
the utmost confidence of reaching. Alto
gether, it was a sad affair, and all that saw
her mangled form could scarcely keep from
shedding tears of sympathy. The railroad
officials did everything in their power for
her comfort, and, if possible, restoration to
health, but the latter was impossible.

An Accident,

Tuesday morning while Mark McBales
was working at Joseph Whites new saw
mill, about four miles from the city, he
met with an accident, which resulted ia
tally. He was taking q slab from the saw,
when it pushed him into the running gear
of the machinery, in which he became en-
tangled, receiving serious injuries in his
hand, breast and head. Every finger, with
the exception of the little finger, was
mashed off, while his breast and head were
badly bruised. When our informant left,
he was still in an insensible condition. DIR.
NJ. l.. Rogers was sent for, but not being
in his Office when the messenger came. we
presume another physician was procured.
Died of His Injuries.
We regret to learn that the young man,
Mark McBales, who was injured at Whites
saw mill, south of the river, about four
miles from the city, Tuesday morning,
died of his injuries. DIR. James Rodgers
visited him Immediately and found him
unconscious, and death ensued in about
twenty minutes after the physician ar
rived at the scene of the accident Our in
formant says he never recovered his
senses. He is said to have been very
steady young man, being a member of Mt.
Olive Division Sons of Temperance, and
also a member of Mt. Olive Baptist
Church. We presume he was buried by
the Order yesterday.

A SAD AFFAIR.
A Crnzy woman Run over ON the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and GeorgIn RRiIroRd.

Thursday as the western bound train
came laundering along, and nearing
trestlc, above Bulls Gap, the engineer,
Samuel Tuggle, noticed u woman leisurely
walking across. He at once bowed down
breaks and reversed the engine, in order, If
possible, to stop the train ere it should
reach her, but to no effect. the poor woman
was fairly struck and hurled off the trestle
some distance to the ground. The train
was stopped as soon as possible, and an eX-
animation proved her to be Betty Mulberry
atlas Pinkston, poor crazy woman, who,
IL is supposed, made her escape from the
Greeneville poor house. She had both
arms and one of her thighs broken, while
her face was badly mutilated, and we are
told it was terrible sight to see her and
hear her shrieks. The woman was placed
on the train and brought to Rogersville
Junction, and DIR. Alexander was sent up
on the eastern bound train to give her medi-
cal attention. At last accounts she was not
dead but herrecoveryis not reckoned among
the possibilities. The engineer it is said,
entered the mail car while the conduo turand
Others were giving their kindest attention
to the poor woman and wept like Il child.
He seemed to be deeply effected, but ii was
one of these unavoidable occurrences
The railrod company has done ana will
do everything in their power for the un-
fortunate woman,

| Correspondents OF the BEEF
EDITOR OMAHA BEE; .
The fire crackers have been fired
the t'oid bird" has once again been
most mercilessly shorn of its feath-
ers; another GLORIOUS" day has
passed into history; and next year
the various orators Of the day can
change their orations by commence
ing, "ninety-nine years ago to day."
ETC., instead of "ninety-eight."
Lincoln was unusually quiet du.
ring the day. Her orators were alb.
sent, talking to the Changers in va.
rious parts of the State, some SPEAK
ing their piece for the first time,
others enter tanning their hearers by
giving them the speech with which
Webster charmed his audience forty
years ago.
In the afternoon a game of base
ball was played between the Pecu-
liars, of Ashland, and the Capltols,
of Lincoln, the latter club winning
the game by q score OF Il to 20. You
see 1t was q peculiar game.
Lincoln has been visited with
what might properly, we think, be
termed plaques, during the last few
months, though we are entirely ig-
norant as to the cause of such visi-
tations. The first came in the per-
sons of Miss (?) Garrison and her
co~-agitators. They it was who star
ted that movement here, now known
as the crusade Of 1874, the result of
which was an increase Of taxes, an
interruption Of trade, and the utter
failure to accomplish that which
they sOught-the crippling of the
liquor traffic The second, though
less dangerous, because not needed,
is that Of one Mrs. pr. Geer, who has
been pardon q rough phrase on
the rampage here for several days.
She is the woman mentioned by
the editors who composed the re-
cent editorial excursion to Cincin-
natl, as having placed herself out
side o gilmore ice-cream, and lemon
ade than any other two at the table,
and then giving the hostess a fear
full candle lecture for setting wine
before her guests, So far as poll
ties r concerned, she said that
whisky controlled the Irish, and
they controlled the Democratic
party, that beer controlled the Ger
mans, and they controlled the Re-
publican party, thus forever blasting
tho hopes of either political party in
this State, and we presume it is
more than probable that she has
said the same thing elsewhere. She
urges the 'ssistsrsn to go ahead, re.
gardless o flaw ; that the laws enact
ed by human beings are not superior
to Gods laws, and that he COM
mands them to go on. "Pray, and
you will get power" she says i; set
the municipal authorities az def
ance. Did she amount to anything
such talk would not be tolerated,
for boldly urging people to violate
the law, to defy the authorities,
smacks somewhat of treason. But
as she is q fanatic, they allow her to
''talk right on" and she will proba-
oily make several weeks board out
of the brethren and sisters here.
Political waters are serene, but
what the "rings" are about we know
not. GRIMES,

GENERAL CCsTAR's black hills
exploring expedition is now fairly
under way. 1t Is the first effort on
the part Of the Government to OBJ
tain reliable information, touch
ing the natural resources nf a region
which, until now, has been shrou-
ded in as much mystery, as have
the UNEMPLOYED regions near the
sources of the Nile. While the ex-
petition Is doubtless undertaken
with q laudable purpose, in the in
terests of civilization, the act will
very naturally be construed, as q
breach Of faith on the part of our
Government, by the Indian tribes,
to whom this region was ceded, asa
permanent reservation.
In other words, General Custar's
army of exploration will be looked
upon and treated as an army Of in
vasion. Under the treaty stipula-
tons made at Fort Larimie In 1855,
the Indians were distinctly author
lied to expel by force any party
armed or unarmed that would at
tempt to pass through the Black
Hills without their permission. Un-
der these circumstances we shall
not be surprised if Custars expedi-
ton should meet with very decided
opposition from the Sioux, who are
already said to bepreparing a bloody
reception for the explorers.
Custar's force, although inferior
in numbers, Is splendidly mounted
and equipped. Their commander
is thoroughly conversant with In
dian tactics, and a very lively pas
sage at arms may therefore be an
tlcipsted. Why the War Depart
ment should incite the Sioux
who are just now peaceably in
ciined-into active hostility. We
cannot comprehend unless this
movement is intended to bring
about the forcible confiscation Of
their Black Hills reservation. Such
. course is, however; not very cred
tablet even in dealing With Indians. !

PROFESSOR BEALS has been elect
ed to the public school superinten-
dency of this city, and we have
good reason to believe that his ap-
pOintment will meet the approval
Of a large majority of our citizens.
With his mature experience as a
practical educator, and his famil-
iarty with the modern common
school system, Professor Beals will,
we apprehend, be enabled to credit
ably fulfil the responsible duties
that devolve upon him as superin-
fendent.
Inorderto make our public schools
what they should be, the new super
intendent will require the cordial
cooperation Of the Board Of Educa-
ton, as well IS the teachers who

WASHINGTON COUNTY.
The Grangers' and Temperance
Celebration.

WARRINGTON COUNTY, July 8.
EDITOR BE:
Knowing that the BEE is always
anxious to report the news, and that
its circulation is far greater than
that of any other State paper, I send
you an account Of the great WASH
ington County Grange, and Sons of
Temperance 4th of July celebration,
held in Cushman's Grove, on New
York creek. There were II Oranges
and IL Divisions represented upon
the grounds, and without exception
every neighborhood in the county
furnished its qGota. We had the
pleasure Of meeting a number from
Burt county.
Coming, as the people did, from
"a miles north to % miles south,
and from the Missouri to West
Point, with wagons, carriages and
buggies, is 1t a wonder that over 500
teams were counted filing into the
grove, and at the least estimate from
5000 to 1000 people were in attend
ance.
Standing, as we did, on the high
est bluff overlooking the country,
turn which way we might, the ma.
tional banner was to be seen waving
proudly over long columns, all adj
vancing to the gathering of the
clans" and as line after line filed
into position, it made our blood
bound with enthusiasm, as did the
stirring times Of wars commotion.
The stars and stripes were plan
ted on every available position, and
the banners Of Il Q Changers We're
conspicuous wherever you went.
Ssshes and aprons, regalia and Jew
els, were mixed i~ndiscriminateIy,
but all seemed to understand that it
was a meeting Of the people, and by
the people.
A very interesting programme
was successfully carried out. Mr.. A.
Chard, reading the declaration of
Independence; Rev. Chas. Cross,
County Superintendent of Public
Schools, being the orator of the day.
Your fellow townsman, B. d.
slaughter, G.. w. P. Of the Sons of
Temperance, following. Music was
furnished by the martial band, and
the glee club, and after dinner,
speaking was renewed by q number
wnoee names your correspondent
failed to procure.
At an early hour, the farmers
started for home; many of the I
people going to Blair to en-
Joy the evening entertainment. The
was . grand success.

In progress to call an independent

THE Omaha morning organ OF
the Hoops devotes much space to
a reproduction of certain portions
Of the politi calharrangue delivered
by Major Davis, at Elkhorn bridge.
The fulsome praise bestowed by the
Journal in question upon this re-
markable Grafton might, however,
be readily explained by the state
ment that Davis Is q brother-in-law
of George Francis Train and George
Francis is q very near relative of
George Washington Frost.
