WILLIAMSON COUNTY.
Fatal Shooting of a Negro by a Farmer
A Country StOre-Keeper Gets an Arm
Broken in a SeufIle with
a RObber.;

On Friday night last negro was killed
near Thompson Station, Williamson cOun-
ty, by John CritZ, a well-known farmer.
The negro was working on the farm Of Mr..
Critz for wages, and having asked permits
sion to attend the funeral of a brothers
child that had died, was told to 60 to the
field and ploW till noon, and that then he
could have the afternoon to 90 to the fu-
neral. He went to work, and at
about twelve o'clock Mr.. CTitz
went down "a the field and
told him be was at liberty to leave work.
The negro, it seems, replied that he in
tended to leave work for good, and further,
be intended TO whip Mr.. Critz before he
left the field. He then attacked Critz, and
being greatly the stronger, was about to
OverpOwer him, when Mr.. G. broke from
his hold and told him TO stand off OF he
would kill him. Tie negro seized a stone
and advanced upon Mr.. c., who drew a
pistol and fired it over the negro's head to
frighten him, but the latter still advancing,
he shot him through the head killing him
instantly.
Going toward the house then, Critz was
intercepted by two trothers Of the deceased
with pistols in their hands, demanding
why he killed their brother. CTitZ told
them heidi not know whether he had
killed him, and told them to 90 and see.
They did so and returned, overtaking him
iast as he got to his house, where, it ap-
pears, they tried to shoot him, but were
prevented by Mrs. CrltZ and a negro
woman interpOsing themselves between,
till Critz could get IN the house and shut
the door. Critz made no effort to escape,
as might naturally be supposed from the
facts reported.
MIDNIGHT ROBBERS.
Near DR.. Williams store, about seven
miles from Franklin on the Carter's Creek
pike, a country produce store and grocery
is kept by a man named Beasley. One
night the latter par. of last week a negro
named Perkins called Beasley up and
asked for quart Of whisky. While Beas-
ley was drawing it, the negro struck at him
with a slung shot, but missed him the first
blow. The second blow be broke one Of
Beasley's arms and theu ran of. Two
Others retreated with him. He was arrest
ed, we understand and is in Jail at Frank
lin. Beasley thinks their object was to kill
him and sack the store.

Several washes were made on the Hard

The river fell one inch at JohnsOnville
Sunday, but the recent rains have caused a
rise Of four inches.
Old citizens say that Big Harpeth is
higher than it has been for nearly a quar-
ter Of a century. The water is within four
feet Of the railroad bridge Overthat stream.
Some Of the bents Of a tTeStle west Of King

not interfere with the passage of trains.
Yesterday morning, some Of the blocks

The streets got from one to two feet deep

An Engineer Kun Over aad Danger
OusIy Injured.
John Anderson, an engineer on the Lou
isviile, Nashville and Great Southern Road,
met with an Unlucky mishap near Bowling
Green last Saturday night. The train
stopped at q station about five miles this
side Of that place, and Mr.. Anderson got of
his engine. When the signal 10 move on
was given, the fireman started the engine
and the engineer got aboard the rear end
of the train, intending to walk through to
the locomotive. The fire nan thought
nothing Of this, and ran the train on to
Bowling Green. On reaching that point
he made sOHe inquiry about the
engineer, when It was found that he was
not on lie ears. The train was run back
several miles when Mr.. Anderson was
found, with his arm cut off just below the
shoulder joint, his left foot crushed, and
his head badly bruised. It is thought he
fell between the cars while stepping from
one TO another. He was taken to his home
al Bowling Green, where everything posi-
be was done for his relief At last &C
counts he was resting easily, and strong
hopes are entertained Of his recovery. Mr..
Anderson was an Englishman by birth,

THE STATE CREDIT.
Gov. Porter Steps in to Save it with
His Veto.
His Objections to the Bill Preventing
the Anticipation of Revenue.

The following message from the Governor
was laid before the Senate yesterday:
Gentlemen of the Stnate: ! cannot ap-
prove Senate bill No. 100, entitled San act
to repeal section p Of a9b act passed March
3, 1869, entitledan act % amend the ReYe-
nue. laws Of the State"
The section herein re.ited confers author
ity on the Comptroller of the Treasury ''tO
borrow such amounts as may be necessary
to meet the necessary demands upon the
Treasury Of the State" 1t is presumed
t'at the passage of this bill was secured
under the belief that the exercise Of this
power would not again be necessary. But
the very general failure of the productions
of Tennessee, followed naturally by an ex-
traOrdinary diminution in the volume of
the currency of the country, with a CORE
spending diminutiOn in the collection of
the resources of the Stlte, will prevent the
financial officers of the State from paying,
with any degree Of prcmptness, the usual
appropriations foE the benefit of the Asy-
lums for the Insane, tie Blind, and Deaf
and Dumb, and other ordinary expenses of
the State government, if deprived Of the
authority to make temporary loan. The
loan negotiated in December last for the
purpose Of meeting the January interest
on the public debt was made
at a moderate rate of interest,
and it is believed that future loans can be
made at from five to seven per cent.
All parties in Tennessee are pledged to
the maintenance of the credit of the State;
this cannot be done il this bill becomes a
law. 1t is immaterial at what the rate
of taxation be fixed, if at a hundred cents
under our system of collecting the revenue,
it cannot be made available in time to
meet the obligations Of the State.
earnestly recommend a reconsideration
of the action of the General Assembly in
passing this bill.

The Cumberland and the Tennessee.

Sergeant A. G. Ford, Of the Signal Office
a. this point, has furnished US with a copy
Of tables showing the range between high
and low water marks, and the rises c0nsid-
cred dangerous to commercial interests on
the principal Western rivers, published for
the information Of all concerned.
For the Cumberland only one station is
given, viz: Nashville. The highest water
was in 1917, the lowest in 1855, the range
being 81 feet. Extreme low water
mark is ze-O Of the gauge, and
the danger line above zero Of the gauge is
42 feet, which endaBgers buildings in
Nashville and Edgefeld. Any rise over
Ole foot per hour is dangerous. FoIty-two
feet was about the height attained in the
recent freshet.
One station is given for the Tennessee
Florence, Ala. The highest water was in
1867, and the lowest in 1872, the range be-
ing 51.S4 feet. This is all the tables give
about so interesting, tickle and romantic a
stream as the beautiful Tennessee.
