Andy Owsley, a colored man condemn
ed last February for malicious shooting TO
two years In the Penitentiory, is lying in
the Lancaster Jail wounded unto death by
pistol shot. The circumstances Of the
case are unusual. late in June, @. W.
Dunlap, ST., upon leaning from Ow-ley's
friends that he was fast falling victim to
what is called hemp pneumonia In the
prison. answered their appeals by going to
Frankfort and seeking the withdrawal Of
the prisoner TO farm, where he could la
Dor in more comfort, till his term should
expire. Every guarantee ofgocd faith was
pledged. In very short time the negro,
with the remarkable fidelity peculiar to
the race. violated his promises and made
his escape. South, Of the Penitentiary,
sent a message to Mr.. u. to the etfec, that
II the prisoner would return without hAv-
ing to be advertised for and reward offer
e., he would not double his term, as Is
usual in cases Of re-capture. Mr.. u. soon
learned that 0wsley was near this place,
and sen, him an urgent request to deliver
himself up. and promised to go with him
to Frankfort and intercede Tor him. This
was refused. At length the officers went
out to take him, when he resisted them to
the bitter end. with his pistol in hand. He
said he would die before he would surren-
der. AT last nothing was left for the Sher-
ia but to shoot. and this he did, the ball
passing entirely through the body Of the
prisoner. lie was brought to town in
great agony, and Is thought to be in n
hopeless condition.
The marriage Of Mr.. A. Blackwell Ell
kin, Of the Visitor, and Miss Susie Arnold
took place at the Christian Church THE
Thursday morning, and was most grace
ful affair. The lamps we're lighted and
the wedding march played. The space in
front Of the pulpit was decorated with an
arch in three divisions. This was covered
with holly and myrtle and studded with
white roses. The top Of the central diyis-
ion was crowned with a bridal bouquet,
and from this hung horseshoe Of white
feverfew, attached by loops Of white rib
bon. White rOses. especially Of the tube
species, were plentiful. The ushers we're
Messrs. Robt. Dunn and James Hemphill.
These entered frat, walked down the aisle,
across the pulpit and took position on the
left, too far out to form any part Of the
final tableau. Then came the eight bride
maids in single Gle, taking position 80 as to
form living arch parallel with the ever
green structure. Then the bride and groom
advanced to the central stand and paused
beauties. Elder w. A. Gibson pronounced
the ceremony in well chosen and beautiful
words. Az the music again resounded,
one Of the ushers took the lead along the
opposite aisle, followed by the bridal pain,
the eight attendants in pairs, and lastly by
the remaining usher. The Young ladies
were Misses Sallie and Bette Huffman,
Misses Shearer, Misses March, Miss Willis
and Miss Jennie Arnold-eight cousins Of
the newly married. All wore dark silks,
tulle caps fastened with flowers, and each
carried a small bouquet Of white and
green. In the brides case, tho cap was Of
