railroad from that town to Fort

only emincntly practicable and cn-
tirely feasible, but the scheme is one

carried out in the near future. Rail.
road men may not deem 1t advisable
to build such road on the narrow
gauge plan, but some more direct rail

The Lynchburg Ners furnir hes thr
following particulars of terrible crime
committed in Broofyills township, of that
county:
Que Of the most brutal and cold blood.
ed murders which We have recorded for
time was perpetrateG on tie premises Of
Mr.. Frask /. Lee, about a r,ils and a
half from the city, last Saturday night,
the particulars of which, as near as wo
have been able to ascertain them, are
about as follows:
Jane Coleman, a culJred woman en-
ployed as cook at Mr.. Lees, has for some
time lived unhappily with her husband,
Richard Coleman, aud their mutual dis.
like has frequently produced heated
quarrelS, sometimes ending in blows.
On Saturday evening the family Of Mr..
Lee were at supper in the dining room,
and Jane had brought in plate of bread
from the kitchen, which is situated
but q few steps from the main
building. and returned for more. A con-
siderable time elapsed, when another
servant went to the kitchen to sec what
had become Of her, and Immediately re.
turned, telling Mr.. Lee that the. kitchen
was full of smoke. That gentleman
hastened to the kitchen, and saw, upon
opening the door, that there was bright
light up stairs in the room usually occu.
pied by Martha and her husband as a
sleeping apartment.
Ascending the stairs, Mr.. Lee saw an
object wrapped in a bed>quilt lying on the
floor, and env0loped in flames. There
were two buckets of water in the room.
and with this he succeeded in putting out
the fire, when he discovered that the OBJ,
ject was the dead body of the cook, whose
head had been beaten almost into a Jelly
with some heavy instrument, supposed to
have been bar of iron. which was found
lying on the floor, though some of the
cuts had the appearance of having been
made with a Ratchet. There were six>
teen wounds on the head, either of which
would have been fatal, besides several on
other parts of her body.
The inquest fixed the murder upon the
husband, and the colored people Of the
noighborhood were so enraged they we're
about to lynch him, and would have done
so but for tho protection afforded by the
officers Of the law. Blood was found on
his clothing, AID he eyinced the greatest
terror when asked to touch tho body,
running from it, and exhibiting the
strongest evidence of guilt. The mur-
dered woman was a native of Rappa-
hammock county, where her relatives now
live.
