Trim Smasher Arrested.

On Wednesday, j. G. Read brought
Dave Merriwether colored, into town
arrested on charge of having caused
the injury to the train mentioned in our
last-it will be remembered that the
mode of operation was to break the
lock which guided the trains on or off
the switch. The prisoner confessed to
another negro and to a white man
name Morrissey, thathe did the act and
had made several attempts before; he
said he did it for practice and expec-
ted, when he had learned how, to
run freight train off, and SO supply
himself with provisions. He is in
custody in the county Jail.
The detection of the train smasher
was very ingeniously effected. The
railroad company employ eolored de-
tective named Bob Payne, who came
from Alabama, recommended by our
old friend Meek and wormed himself
into the confidence of the colored pop
ulation around Dudley's switch so eff
feetively that Dave, the smasher, laid
open all his plans, telling all he had
done first, with view to a partnership
in train smashing for prOft-an at
tempt was to be made on the pay-train
which is shortly to arrive-but mean
time Bob proposes to the con6ding
Dave to introduce him to his white
partner, Ian employee of the road0 to
him Dave again related circumstan-
TALLY the whole transaction by which
the train was smashed last week, and
keenly entered into the plans for fur
Their smashing. But the evidence was
now complete, and Dave was very soon
in the hands of J. G. Read, and short
ly afterwards in the presence of Squire
Dodd Read, confronted by his two sup
posed partners as witnesses against
him. He is remanded till next Satur-
day to give him time for rebutting evil
dence.

ton of the Commencement Exercises
of the Public High School, held at St.
Clair Hall, in that city, on the 10th.
Seventeen candidates for graduating
honors, composed of Miss Ada Win
ston's class were upon the stage. Sing
ing, reading of essays and presentation
of diplomas made up the programme.
We notice that Miss Emma Register,
formerly of this county, delivered the
valedictory, a chaste and beautiful
production, which appears in full in
the News.
The whole proceedings were much
admired and enjoyed, and shows the
high appreciation in which public
schools are held by the intelligent

was shot and killed by Mr.. w. B.
Dunbar, at Cumberland City on Friday
of last week. Buchanan, itseems, had
some old grudge against Dunbar, and
on the day mentioned he went into
Dunbar's business house and told him
he was prepared for him, having his
hand in his pocket at the time. He
was ordered to leave his house, but
refused, when Dunbar drew a pistol
and shot him. He Immediately sur
rendered himself, was tried and acquit-

ACCORDING to previous appointment
we accompanied Rev. r. X. Brown to
McAdoo church last Sunday evening,
where he preached an interesting and
feeling discourse to large and APP
preciative congregation. Revs. III. l..
Burney, d. Morrowand G. w. Brown,
were present, to give our pastor cor
dial greeting and render assistance in
the service. The people of McAdoo
were always jealous in church mat
tiers, and at present they have a well
appointed church edifce, recently
erected in which to worship. They
have excellent congregational singing,
and the membership truly enjoy their
church privileges. From the time our
little party, consisting of Revs. r. K.
Brown, Gold, Atkins and the writer,
started for home, it only required
about one hour and twenty five min
utes to arrive in the corporate limits
of the city, as we had the pleasure of
riding behind Mr.. Atkins span of
lightning steeds from Kansas. 1t was
the intention of Rev. Mr.. Brown to
remain until next morning, so as to
spend the night with some of the hos
pitable people of that locality, and be-
come better acquainted, but domestic
matters necessitated his immediate re-
turn. We promise them, for him, that
he will pay them another visit as soon
as convenient.
From the appearance of the various
crops which we saw along the road, no
signs of speedy starvation were visi-
bic, as wheat, corn, oats and tobacco
all looked promising-some wheat was
over ripe, not having been cut on ac-
count of wet weather.
