COMPLETELY CLEANED OUT,
A North Carelinian Knocked
Down and Robbed.


Last night, about 10 o'clock. Joseph
Waggoner was knocked down and robbed
on North Cherry street, near the Sulphur
Spring. The property taken from bis
person consisted of $l,ls5, and a gold
watch and silver chain.
Waggoner reached this city from Chi>
cago last Monday, and since that Tina has
been stopping at the Kossuth House. on.
College street, near the Louisville depot.
He came into the hotel near the hour
mentioned, with the intention Of retiring,
but feeling thirsty, concluded to get some
sulphur-water before going to bed. Ho
started to the spring, and when he arriv-
ed at the bridge on Cherry street. he was
assaulted by two mcr, one Of whom struck
him on the back Of the head with what
is supposed to have been q slung shot.
AT this junctwe, one Of the men grap.
pied him by the throat and choked him
until he was entirely powerless. In the
struggle that ensued when he was taken
bold of, Waggoner was cut by knife In
the left wrist and right brest, both wounds.
bleeding profusely. IIo says that whom
he was struck on the head. he put hts
hand up to o pocket in tho right side Of
his vest, which contained his pocketbook.
and from this it would appear that both
wounds were inflicted with ona thrust Of
the weapon.
After having been beaten until sense.
less, he was dragged to the side Of tho
street, and there remained, unable even
to call for help, for perhaps quarter Of
an hour. At last, partially recovering
his strength, he succeeded in attracting
attention by bis cries. Some parties az,
sisted him to the hotel, and afterwards re.
turned TO the spot with. lantern In the
hope of finding the money, Sut their
search was fruitless.
Waggonor was returning to his homo at
Lexington North Carolina, and intended
remaining in this city until after tho Ex-
position opened.
At a late hour, the police were actively
at work trying to ferret out the prepetra.

There is o locality in Breckinridgs
county, near the Hardin line, containing
some eight or ten acres, in which no AMI
NAL can live any length Of time, owing
to tho strong miasma. A short time
since the owner Of the ground undertook
to clear 1t, and with bis son proceeded 70
the work. The son was overcome, and
it was with difficulty that the father af.
fected as he was, could get himself and
son out. A calf was turned into the
place, and soon after died. There is
nothing in the looks Of the place or the
smell of the atmosphere to indicate the
deadly miasma lowering over it. All of
the above is amply vouched for in every
particular.

HORRIBLE, IF TRUE.
A Self-COnfessed Murderer Of
Eleven of his IHegitimate
ChildreA

The Lebanon Necs contains the fol-
lowing fact; ave are creditable in,
formed by gentleman that the family of
Mr., Isaac Wagner, woll-known dis
tiller Of whiskey in East Hanover town
ship, this county, some few years ago, re-
turned home from near Springfield, Ohio,
about three weeks ago. In conversa>
tion he had with them yesterday they sta>
ted that after going from this county they
went on farm purchased by Mr.. Wag-
ner. within six miles Of Springfield, where
they have been residing up to this time.
The cause for their return is, as they sta
ted, because Mr.. Wagner was to be hung
to-day for the murder Of an infant child Of
which he was the father by another wo'-
man. Rumors Of his being the father Of
several children with woman in his en-
ploy while residing here were prevalent
at the time, but their disappearance was
never accounted for. Since his residence
in the West he is ,allegad to have been
guilty of the same thing, and his last at
tempt at destroying the life Of an infant
was detected by his sors and brought to
justice. The excitement incident to the
occasion brought out an alleged attempt
at lynchiug him, which was avoided by his
confessing to have destroyed the lives of
eleven illegitimate children. of which he
was the father, at various times. Upon
this confession he was sentenced to be
hung, and the day of his execution is to-
day. These are the facts as they have
been given to us, and we publish them
for what they are worth>'

The Trouble in Naming the Baby

Smudge had raRsacked various books
for name, and of the sixth of the latest
edition of Smudge was indicative of toll
in the ranks of men, as the infant looked
strong-almost warlike-a great name
was the quest of its distracted parents.
Mrs. S. wanted it named after some Bi-
BILE character. Smudge suggested Samson
Goliah, which would typify strength
Mrs S. leaned to Moses Samuel, emble-
matical Of weakness.
Smudge had declared that he would
expose the child to the measles before it
should be nickuamed Muse or Sam. Then
be hinted at Jonah but NIrs. S. would
listen to no such monogram. She did mt
want her last child s name connected with
the fish story Already they had named
q IIaman, and she was sure that he would
be hanged some day. Seeing that no
Scriptural name could be agreed Upon
she suggested Omega. reminding Smudge
that they had named the first child
Alpha.
"You don't call this one Omega" said
Smudge, "Pll put the name away, and
when we want it I'll let you know. How
would Martin Luther d9?'

DEATH OF MOSES R.
PARRISH.

The death Of Moses K. Parrish, one
of the editors of this T eper, which occur
red at his residence in this place, on
Monday last, produced profound sorrow
in this community, in which he had
many friends whose attachment for him
was based upon his sterling qualities Of
head and heart.
sir. Parrish was born, we believe in
the town of Murfreesboro and was about
38 years old at the time of his death.
He was apprenticed to the printing bust
ness when quite q youth, and had ever
since been in some way connected with a
printing! Office as composition, foreman,
publisher or editor. He acquired dis
tinction in his profession and was popu-
lar with newspaper men wherever known.
He had found employment in his chosen
calling in several southern towns aud
cities and had travelled much in the
West A man Of close observation, he
had acquired a fnnd of useful knowledge
which he could draw on. when necessary
to sustain position in an argument, OF
: for the amusement of his associates
That he had fIailties none knew better
than he, nor was there any more ready
to confess them. For more than two
years he had been making noble efforts
at reform, and those who knew him best
fully attest that he resisted temptation
with resolution worthy of all praise.
The resolutions adopted by the Vestry
of st. James Church, the independent
Order of Odd Fellows and United Friends
of Temperance will convey to the pub,
lie knowledge of the estimation in
which they held him.
Mr. Parrish was in his usual health
till within a few days of his death Hav>
ing taken severe cold which brought on
congestion of the lungs, he suffered in.
tensely from the very beginning of his
sickness. He was almost constantly In
the possession of all his mental faculties
during his sickness and spoke freely of
dying. TO his pastor he expressed per-
feet resignation to the will of his Creator,
and said that he had no fears of death
The deceased leaves wife and four
daughters who have the earnest sym>
pathies of this entire community. His
remains were taken to Memphis, and
inferred in Elmwood Cemetery on Wed
nesday last.
