was Committed in boat on the Ssco river or
the night of the 9Th inst.
Savage still adheres to the story be told Off
Ger Mari as to the place where he killed Vim
cent woman, but the officers do not believe it,
TIE night of the murder parties on Pool
street or Pool road state that about ten O'Clock
they heard cry as from woman, sounding
from down river.

stories about him. She says he told her he had

Large as Feared.
HAVANA, April 17.-Prominent merchants
and planters are generally OF the opinion that
the estimate that deficiency in the sugar
crop will amount to 80 per cent. are entirely
wrong. Receipts since January LIST show only
deficiency of one-third compared with last
year, while the plantations are overstocked
with sugars awaiting transportation. Some
think if tine rainy season commences late the
crop will equal and even be superior to last
years. The hot aud dry weather continues.
A sugar cane disease ia Porto Rico, prod uced
by a certain worm, has spread 50 rapidly that a
royal order has been issued for an investig alton
into its cause and means of prevention. The
disease thus far appears confines to Porto Rico.

ROASTED ALIVE.
A Man Burned to Death in Q Gala
boo0o.

Not long since the BAzoo gave The par.
ticulars of . prisoner being burned to death
in the Concordia calabooae. and now Ne
have similar case to record that happened
in Higginsville, on the Lexington Branch.
last night The particular, - fer IL oar
reporter has been able to ascertain, ore o
follows:
Yesterday afternoon . man By the name Of
McMann got into . difficulty with another
party. Both were intoxicated and finally
got to fighting. During the fracas McAann
cut his antagonist severely, when the ARRAY
was stopped By the officers and both Of the
men arrested and locked up in the Gala
boOee.
This building had two apartments. and 10
prevent them from fighting again each was
locked mp in . room by himself. Last
night the whiskey died out Of McMann. and
it is supposed he thought he would resort to
an expedient which would both warm him
up and procure his liberty, 20 be set the
building on FIRE.
The other man gave the alarm, and .
man approached the calabOoae and found il
in flames on the inside. He could not be
prevailed upon by the prisoner to break ii
open, a. he said "he had no right To do
thatw All this time the flames we're gath
ing headway and the building vas filed
with the stiHing smoke.
Al length the station agent became aware
Of the fact, and rushing TO the scene burst
the door open with an Ak. They then
dragged out the prisoner Who was cut. half
dead with sufocation; but not knowing
that there was another prisoner confined
there, they left McMann to his fate, until
il was too late to save him, when his pres
ence there was known.
In short time the entire building vas
Destroyed, and nothing but the bones Of the |
victim were discovered. His |
terrible fate was the result Of his own tool |
sh recklessness.
