AL MOST A BLOT IN CLARKEsyILLE.

LOUISVILLE, July H. A dispatch from
Clarkesville, Tenn, says: Two Irishmen,
named Corners and Jeffcott, attacked COL
ored boy with o knife Saturday night. The
next morning about twenty negroes attacked
the two Irishmen and ran them into grocery
whence they we're afterwards taken by the
police to jail for safety.
The same night the negroes assaulted the
grocery with pistols and axes and almost de-
molished the building. Several disreputable
houses were also mobbed and the alarm bell
rung. While the police were investigating
the alarm the friends of the Irishmen broke
down the door Of the calaboose and set them
free. A general riot was feared at one time,
but everything is quiet tonight. No one &C.
riously hurt.

ONCE MORE IN THE TOLLS.

The Attorney General Monday morning
fled an information in the First District
Court against Geo. G. Benham for obtaining
money! small amount of S35, 0OO-from the
State under false pretenses, by collecting
fraudulent vouchers. |.
The transaction on which the investigation
is based was developed during the recent in
vestigation of charges against Clinton before
the Superior District Court.
Benham has not been in the city for some
time, and it is probable that under the cir
cumstances he will not be induced to come
back. The authorities. however, assert that
he can be arrested with but little trouble

WHOLESALE SWINDLING.
A Young Though Cunning Rogue.
He Falls into the Hands of Phil.
iStines.

On the 23d Of June q man giving his name
as Henry Overton called on the cotton firm of
L. H. Gardner & Bussey. and presented a
bill of lading, at the same time stating that
he had large amount of cotton on boat
that had just left Memphis, and asked the
above firm to advance him SLIPS on the con-
signment.
Overton, having numerous letters in his
possession from responsible parties in Mem
phis, Messrs. Gardner & Bussey mmediately
advanced the money and gave him certified
check on the Bank of America for the amount,
as the bill of lading appeared to be perfectly
correct. Overton then presented the check
at the bank, but as he could not get any one
to identify him he went to several jewelers. to
make purchase in order to have the check
changed. At last he went to Lilienthaps jew
elry store and purchased diamond ring and
pin for the amount OF $3.50, and presented the
check in payment.
Mr.. Lilientbal sent the check to Gardner
& Bussey, to ascertain if it was all right, re-
ceiving an answer in the affirmative. Mr..
Lilienthal delivered the goods and gave $575
back in change to the man Overflow who went
on his way rejoicing. Messrs. Gardner &
Bussey finding that the cotton did not come
to hand when the boat arrived, their suspicious
were aroused, and they Immediately reported
the case to Capt. L. Malsne, chief of detec-
tives.
The Captain, after making q dilligent
search, came to the conclusion that Overton
had gone to Memphis and was there oper-
ating in the same way; therefore close watch
was kept up by the Captain and his officers
on all routes from that place. On Sunday
Overton arrived in the city on the Jackson
train, at IL M. Capt. Malone and Detective
Person succeeded IN shadowing their man to
a furnished room on Common, near Claiborne
street, where they arrested him.
Taking the prisoner to Llienthal, that gen.
tleman identified the pin which Overton then
had in his shirt as the one sold as above
stated; still Overton denied that he was the
man. He was taken to the Central Station
and there incarcerated. Monday morning,
being taken before Judge Evans, he plead
guilty, and was remanded under $4,000, in de-
fau t of which he went to. the Parish Prison.
Overton is native of New Orleans. and his
right name is D. G. Fakes.
His father was formerly cotton merchant on
Carondelet street, and D. G. was his book
keeper His father died about two years
ago.
The detectives of this city have in their
possession several dispatches concerning this
young man.
It has since been ascertained that the fellow
Fakes, alias Overton, attempted to swindle
Messrs. Allen & Co., and also the firm of
Richardson & May, of this city, in the same
as he swindled Gardner & Bussey,
but failed in his attempt.
He is young man of good personal ap-
pearance, and not over twenty-four years of
age.

Two Convicts Jump from the TOP
of a House and Try to Make
Their Escape, But are
Captured.
A Brave Officer.

Sunday, between the hours of 6 and A.
NJ, Officer Hawkins saw two men enter an
alley on st. Thomas street, near Robin. They
looked very suspicious, carrying bundle
under their arms. The officer at first thought
they were burglars and followed them. He
asked them what they had under their arms
and to his great surprise saw two men dressed
in convict's clothes
He then asked them their business; they
said they were steamboatmen. From their
appearance they looked as if they had been
walking in the mud The officer then called
them and said: ''You are my prisoners"
They then made desperate attempt to es-
cape by running in house on St. Tho mas
street, and succeeded 10 getting to the top.
The officer said nothing, but left the lot,
and few PAGES from the house he laid in
wait for his victims.
About Z o'clock they were summoned by
the inmates of the house to come down.
Thinking everything was right, they came
down, and, to their great establishment, Officer
Hawkins again walked up to them and laid
hands upon them, and succeeded in taking
both of them to the Second Precinct Station,
where they were locked up.
Thew gave their names as Phil. Smith and
JODu DFOOkS, AllaS EUZa Johnson.
Phil. Smith is a very large sized negro, about
six feet high. When captured he said that
he was not convict that johnson told him
he had been cutting timber up the jackson
railroad.
Brooks, alias johnson, is a thin. negro,
about feet 4 inches in height, and when
captured said that he had been sentenced to
the Penitentiary by Judge Abel, for the term
of two years that he had served one and
a quarter that he was SO badly treated that
if he had remained there six days longer, he
would have been dead man. His appear
ance is that he will not last month longer
He succeeded in making his escape from
Kennerville last Friday. When they got up
that morning and the irons were taken from
their feet they made an attempt to escape and
succeeded. Three shots were fired after them
by the guard but none took effect 1t ap-
pears that when Officer Hawkins colared
them for the second time they showed fight,
but the officers club was too brisk for them.
If all our policemen were like Officer Haw-
kins our city would get rid of the gang of
,onvicts and sneak thieves which inhabit our
,ity daily.
