AndreaS Egner, &nd UeO. huIer, VINO
were convicted ofthe murder of Herman
Schilling, at Cincinnati, on the It'll of No
vember last, were Saturday sentenced to
be hanged Tuesday, July IL next.
The killing Of Col. Holland, in Colum-
bus, Ga, on Monday makes the seventh |
man VINO has been murdered in that usu-
ally quiet place since Christmas day last
1t has been clearly ascertained that
Mrs. Kimbro, of South Memphis, Tenn,
whose hat and shawl were found on the
river bank on Thursday night last, did
not commit suicide, but again eloped
with her betrayer, Moore, whose own
wife eloped from him about a year ago.
The guilty pair left the city by boat.
Uncle Jacob Brown" of Louisville,
Ga, is an old darby as full OF animation
and industry as if he had just arrived at
manhood. lie is eighty-seven years old,
and is the father OF forty-three children
all by his legitimate wives. lie has been
married several times, and now has
wife not over twenty-five years old and
was his first one.
| The most marvellous freak of the late
storm that we have heard of was reported
to the Forsythe. (Ga } Advertiser last
week by Mr.. w. Ii. Thurmond. He
says that large hickory tree, about two
feet in diameter, was driven four feet
deeper in the ground. 1t is still standing
and can be seen by those who have curl
osity enough to visit the spot. We can
not explain how this happened. Mr..
Thurmond, however assures us that v Is
true tale.
, A young lady living in Campbell conn
tv, Va, some six miles from Lynchburg,
whose name is withheld at present, al
tempted to commit suicide yesterday
morning by taking laudanum. Yester~
! day evening her condition was regarded
as almost entirely hopeless, and 1t is not
improbable that she may now be dead.
A similar attempt on her life was made a
, few months since, both OF which were on
i account OF her love for a youth only six
teen years of age, to whom she was en-,
= gagged to be married, and whose visits her
parents opposed. The families of each
Of the parties are highly respectable, and
the probable sad result ofthis unfortunate
love affair causes deep gloom in both
I households, as well as in the entire CON-
\ NUDITY in which it occurred.
Tuesday aferHoon a disturbance oc'
n lcurred on the premises of Thos Breedlove
about two miles south of Hearne, Texas
= resulting in the killing Of negro named
o John Cade, by white man named Willil
. Griffin. The circumstances, as deyel
r oped at the inquest, are that John Cade
: a tenant on Breedlove's place, whipped {
r negro boy for losing his AK and refusin!
: to tell anything about it, for which Breed
love threatened HE arrest and stared
taway, returning in short time will
a Willis Griffin, who after having dispute
. with Cade, struck his wife aud daughte
i once or twice, and then drew pistol AM
n fired at Cade, the ball taking effect in tn
4 brain and producing death in about tel
o hours A warrant was issued by Justic
: Dawson for the arrest of Griffin, but h
cannot be found.
The city of Waco, Texas, was throw
A into intense excitement by the sounds o
y an ARRAY in the Office OF Dr. G. j. Buck
!. ESQ. 1t seems that DR.. j. FL. Caldwell
A owed Mr.. Buck some money, and ha,
n gone to his Office to pay it over. Their
v were some stormy words passed. but ate
v the settlement was made the cause of tn
q dispute was unfortunately reopened Th
Doctor used threatening words, and MI
Buck hurled paper weight at him, abou
: the same instant the Doctor struck witt
n his stick. After some scuffiing Docto
4 Caldwell clutched Buck by the throa
4. Immediately Mr.. B. drew his pistol an
Is fired, missing After falling on the fool
! the Doctor still maintaining his hold @
a the others throat, Buck fired again, il
Is filcting bad looking wound in the tenn
: pie of his antagonist. This ended tn
- fight. The Doctor lay on the floor Of tn
% Office, and Mr.. Buck rendered his service
T. TO assist the wounded gentleman. Nj
Buck Immediately gave himself up to OF
If ficer McGee and was conducted at once
in the sheriff and given into his custod,
"a and the wounded gentleman was carrie
10 home. The physicians examined tn
n wound of Doctor Caldwell, the ball wa
,r found to range downward, and in its cours
" to have passed near the large blood vessel
