amptOn Mass Journal says that Edwin Tor
rey and his cousin, Mrs. Susan Streeter, who
are missing from Painfield, have probably
elOped. Some seven years ago Susan's huS-
hand, Benz. Streeter became jealous because
they were quite too 'cOusinly,' toward each
other, but after receiving clubbingS and yari-
Gus abuses from his family he left home, and
has since become so unSound in mind that the
selectmen have had to support him. Mean
while the cousins have been growing more in

A CRAZY NEGRO PREACHER SHOT - He
Wrecks a Train, StdmpedeS q Congregation
and is Killed in eLf-defence.-A crazy negro
preacher named Enoch Navin caused great
excitement at Paris, Tenn, ten days ago by
his very bOiSterOuS manner of eXpOunding the
gospel and the pointing Of his remarks with
blows when an occasion offered. He became
an 1ntOlerable nuisance and was jailed. He
was discharged last Friday, and offered
prayer, interSpered with SObS, grOanS and ex-
Carnations, when he reached the outer walls.
Proceeding three miles down the Memphis
and Louisville railroad to where it crosses
cove he tore up the rails and placed on the
track a hand car, which was run into by
passenger train and the locomotive damaged.
On Saturday he went to congregation and
promptly dismissed il, by attacking every per-
son within reach, commencing with those
nearest the door. Great confusion ensued,
followed by a general uprOar, above which
was heard the screams Vt the women, who
were frightened: The entire congregation
finally taking In the situation rushed out OF
the doors. Two men undertook to arrest him,
when he knocked one down with crowbar ;
the second, a man named Hicks, beat a haSty
retreat. The insane preacher, who had now
become furious, left the man that was down
and plrsued Hicks with the crOwbar On
nndlng there was no escape for him Hicks
turned, took deadly aim at Navin and shot
him in the abdomen. Navin fell heavily to
the ground, when he was conveyed to the
Paris Jail and recOmmitted. He died in it
Sunday. Hicks claims that he shot Navin in
