HORRIBLE HOMICIDE.
Wife Murder in Limestone County
Alabama.

A horrible wife murder was
committed about six miles south
west Of Blanche, just over the
Alabama line in Limestone coun-
ty. John III. Bales, aged about
rs years, and his wife Alice, be-
ing unable to live tremendously
together, separated, she returning
to her mother Mrs. Lovelap.
John soon became convinced
that single blessedness did not
suit him, and a week ago last
Tuesday he went to the field in
which his wife and her mother
were at work and asked her to
once more trust to his strong
arm for support. She declined
to grant his request, saying that
she had become convinced by
experience that they could not
live together peacefully, as man
and wife should, and was resolv-
ed not to try again. This refu-
sal caused Bales anger to arise,
and he told her if she would not
live with him he would cause her
some trouble. He forthwith pro-
ceeded to carry his threat into
execution by drawing his pistol
and shooting her three times,
from the effect of which she died
the day following. He also shot
at his mother-in-law.
He straightway went to the
woods and has been able so far
to avoid capture, although large
party is in pursuit. 1t is hoped
that he will be caught and JUS
tice melted out to him.
Battles has been arrested and
incarcerated in the Athens Jail.

sing case, which can hardly
be true, yet we know something
like it did happen. Pete and
Jake were both members of our
last Senate; and Pete, he says
business is dull, but we must
work up something, SO he put
an amendment on the Appropri-
alton bill to fight the New Is
sue, (the amount was only So
900, however,, after the case had
been settled in all the courts in
the land. Jake sees the little
game, and he goes in lively for
it-he is in favor Of the appro-
priation too. After a big fight
they pass it. The Senate adj
iourns. and Pete and Jake a.
gree to run a foot race to see
who should have the purse, but
they both get there SO close to-
gether that they agree to divide
it. You see $500 each, with
out a fuss, is better than $2500
that was little uncertain.
You see the foot-race took place
before any New Issue suits
were commenced, but then we
knew they would be commenc-
ed: so Pete and Jake drew
down $1,000 each, and left the
balance for after a while. Pete
and Jake understand business.

INFRINGEMENT AND RE-
FORM.

The Railroad Meeting To-
NIGHT.

Let every man in Fayetteville
desiring to see the railroad built
from Petersburg to Fayetteville
go to the meeting tonight. The
fate of our town depends upon
what we do in this matter. If
we would prosper we must help
ourselves and not expect others
to do what we should do. If
every man will do his part il
will be easy on all. We cannot
afford to lose this opportunity.
Soon the railroad whistle will be
heard at Petersburg, and if it
stops there we will begin to feel
the bad results. Be warned by
our neighboring towns that have
refused it and are now suffering
the consequences. A long pull,
a strong pull and pull all togeth-
er will bring us out and make
ours one of the best towns in
Middle Tennessee.

A Formidable Gang of Burglars and
Incendiaries Hunted Down.
NashYiIIe American.


| MURFREEsBORo, May 24th.-
Great excitement and general
rejoicing prevails in our midst
this afternoon over the capture,
this morning, of some dozen men,
black and white, who have been
robbing our stores and dwellings,
during the past few months.
Over two wagon loads of stolen
goods have been recovered, con-
sisting of jewelry, clothing, ba-
con, groceries, etc. The very fine
diamond ring stolen from Col.
W. r. Butler few weeks ago
was recovered with the other
goods. Most of the stolen goods
were found in the house OF John
Hall, ON the Nashville pike about
one mile from town.
Several of the parties implica-
ted have not yet been arrested.
The following is a list of those
captured and now in jail: White
-FrankBailey and HickSlaugh-
ter; colored-John Hall, Henry
McNai1y, Ed. Lyle, BurreI
Smith and Rush Holbert.
Sufficient evidence has been
secured to prove the participa-
ton Of both John Hall and Bur-
rel Smith in the murder of Mai.
Pugh. Both admit being pres
ent, but each charge the other
with the killing. A converse
ton was overheard yesterday be-
tween Hall and Smith, in which
Hall told Smith he should not
have killed Pugh. Smith, re-
plying, said: eyes, by God, Il
did kill him, and / ought to have
killed him when we were there
before" evidently referring to
the time when Maj. Pugh was
robbed in April, at which time
Mrs. Pugh, hearing them, raised
window and shot.
They are badly demoralized,
and each one seems more anx-
ious than the other to turn States
evidence, except the two white
men, who deny any knowledge
of the whole transaction. 1t has
taken considerable persuasion
and many good promises of flu
ture aid to suppress a mob to-
night, but from the present indi-
cations, the committal trial next |
week will settle the matter as to
the Pugh murderers, the more
rampant agreeing for the public
to hear the evidence before the
execution.
John Hall turned States evil
dence and "gave away" his con-
federates.
The parties arrested admit the
firing and robbery of both the
Smith and Gumm houses. In
the Smith house, they say, the
coal oil caught so rapidly they
got out but little Of the plumber
they had packed, but that they
succeeded in moving the Gumm
goods before the fire broke out.
One of them said that on the
night they robbed Col. w. r.
Butler ten men were in the sec
ond story of the house. All
were heavily armed and ready
for any emergency.
Since the above was put in
type Hall and Smith have ac-
knowledged the murder of Maj.
Pugh. Others have been cap
tmed making fifteen in Jail.

Tribute of Resnact.

Hall of Protection Lodge No
Is, A. O. U. w.
In forming our estimation of q
man we should strive to dispel
any prejudice that might exist
in our minds, and in fairness and
justice weigh his good and bad
qualities and condemn or applaud
as the scales may turn. We
should not judge by the head,
for the head is often wrong; the
head is often wrong when the
heart is right. After all the
heart is the place to go to find
out what a man is. If a mans
heart is right his life cannot be
far wrong. In forming our con-
clusion as to Bro. w. b. Nicks'
character, let us not placetoo
great a stress on his particular
views on some matters with
which we differed from him, but
let us look to the laudable quail
tiles of his heart. Whatever
may have been Bro. Nicks' faults
he had a heart filled with noble,
generous and charitable impul-
SEES. In his opinions he was con-
scientious; he condemned the
wrongs of those who conceded
with him in his opinions and E.
ven at times forsook them.
Therefore, be it Resolved, That
by the death of Bro. w. b.
Nicks this lodge has sustained a
lamentable and g1ievous loss; a
warm-hearted, charitable, SYM
pathetic member. While we
bow with reverence to the will
Of Him who does all things well,
let us be reminded in our sad
ness that
LEAVES have their time 10 fall and wither
before the north winds blast,
But thou hast all times for thine own, oh,
DEATH"
Resolved, That we remember
the widow and orphans of our
esteemed brother, with our coum-
sci for their welfare, our ready
assistance in their necessities and
a sympathetic tear for their sad
bereavement.
Resolved, That a copy of this
preamble and resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our
order,published in the FAYETTE-
VILE OBSERVER and furnished
the widow of our deceased
brother.

Religious Intelligence.

On the 22nd and 23rd of this
month, at the Cumberland church
in this place, a Missionary Bap-
fist church was organized under
the ministral of DIR. j. +. B.Mays.
The enrolled membership by let
ter was twenty-six, by expert
ence, one. Steps were atonce Ia
ken to call a pastor, secure a
place Of worship, ETC., as evidence
of the earnestness of the church
to 90 to work in this large and
inviting field.
DIR. Mays is certainly entitled
to the highest respect for his la
Dor here. And he left behind
him an impression for ability,
brilliancy and piety rarely ex-
celIed. He promised to return
at an early day and look after
the little flock brought together
by his jealous instrumentality.

ploy him.
