CiNdisnArr. May 80 "A special from
Charleston. w. Va, says: "I.ast Friday John
p. Nnnley challenged George Naniey, his
nephew, 10 years old. to fight a duel. They
met on Jsmpbell's creek on Saturday, and
George Nunley was shot in the mouth before
ho hred shot. He cannot recover. Both
are mon in good circumstances. The quarrel
arose about family affairs.
AUGUSTA. May 30.-As there Is holiday in
New York everything has been very quiet
In tho stock market hero to-day. Tho only
transactions have been in Central Railroad
stock. which is very strong at 1861 bid. 1t
is believed that tho directors Of tho road will
declare script dividend of 80 per cent, and
q regular divi dend of ~ on Wednesday. It
is generally believed here that Mr. Wadley
has leased tho Port Royal Railroad. The
bonds which sold at 50 short timo since arc
held at par.
WAsnINaroN. May 30.-Deooration day
was more generally observed ttr ughout the
North and East than in previous years. In
many Of tile principal cities business was en-
tirely suspended. and moro than the usual
pomp and holiday circumstances chara ct erizcd
the commcmoration Of the event. At Phila.
delphia an especially touching sight occurred.
On Friday laet all the children took pots Of
| flowers to school to be distributed among tho
various Grand Army posts. and thia morning
they were transferred to carriages to be take n
to the various cemeteries. At most of the
schools the little ones assembled. and in &C.
companying tho poets to the graves formed n
pleasant relief to tho dark blue uniform of
| the veterans.
AUGUSTA, May 27.-Thcre is rumor here
to dny, and it is apparently well founded.
that Mr.. Wadley has leased the Port Royal
Railroad. No definite information could be
obtained. ns tho officials wero not disposed to
talk about tho matter. Mr.. Wadey stated
that he. intended to work his railroad system
for tho general good.' IIo did not intend to
build up tho interests Of nny section or place
nt the expense of any other. 1t was abso.
intely necessary for the protection of his own
interests that he should obtain control Of the
Georgia Railroad. but having now obtained
it HIS position Is imprcgnablo and his chief
desire is tho development Of this section. He
believes that in a very short time direct line
OF steamers will be running between Savan-
nah and Europe.

THE MARBLE HALL FIEND TO
SWING.
Joe Harris Guilty of Murder in the
First Degree.
The Voice Of Browns and HecI1's
Blood Crying from the
Ground.

Bristol Nows.l
The jury, last Thursday, after sit
ting five days at Rogersville, brought
in verdict ofguilty OF murder in the
first degree against Joe Harris for the
murder of Brown and Heck on the
night of November 22d, 1880. Harris
was assigned able counsel, who did for
him all that his bad case would admit
of. The pocket-book, money, blood,
pocket knife, overcoat, the presence
at Marble Hall, the flight to Pump
kin valley, could not be satisfactorily
explained, save on the assumption
that Joe Harris had done the murder,
which his knowledge of the men and
premises made so easy for him to do.
He made no confession, but
went through the blood-curdling
ordeal unmoved, as he must
have gone through the bloody scenes
Of that awful night Of November. At
the reading of his verdict it is said
he smiled. Doubtless he smiled as
the skulls of poor Brown and Heck
crushed beneath his murderous blows.
Part OF his scheme was ioiled when
Price found the house on fire in time
to save it, and the dead bodies and the
helpless ladies and children who were
sleeping within it. Another and per-
haps drearier feature of his scheme
failed when the feet footed and saga
cious Bob Blevins overlook him and
foiled his designs to use and enjoy
Browns hard earned money, and after
few brief and terrible months he will
witness the speedy failure of his pur-
pose to live on in heartless triumph as
the champion 6end Of Hawkins coun-
ty. The people have decided he shall
surrender his life in a manner that
will terrify evil doers for many day
to come. At the earnest request OF
Harris his counsel appealed to the su-
preme court, which will afford delay
in the final sceue of the tragic affair
at Marble hail.

COLLHERVILLE.
RsaiI Rider Attacked by a RObbcr.

Mail Rider Amos Harrell, who car.
ries the mail between Collierville and
Wythe Depot, was again assaulted by
a gang of three robbers near Elba,
Fayette county, about eight miles
north of COllierville, late yesterday
evening, as he was returning from
Wythe Depot with the mail to Col
lierville. The robbers suddenly
sprang from the woods to the road and
fred at the rider, ordering him to
throw off the mail sack. Mr.. Har-
rell drew his pistol and returned the
fire, but his horse became frightened
and ran down the road, the robbers
still shooting at him, one shot striking
his horse in the neck and several bull
let's cutting close to Mr.. Harrell, one
passing through his hat and others 60
ing through his clothing. After going
a short distance Mr.. Harrell got two
men and returned to the scene Of the
attempted robbery and chased the rob-
bers some distance, firing six or eight
shots at them without effect, when the
gang managed to escape through the
woods. This makes the second
attempt that this band of assassins
have made to shoot Mr., Harrell, and
rob the mail. As far as we can learn,
no effort is being made to capture the
thieves, who should be hunted down
and justice meted out to them as soon
as possible. A country store, near
Elba, was entered by thieves and rob-
bed, several nights ago, no doubt by
the same gang who attacked the mail
rider yesterday evening.

proceedings.
LONDON, February ia detailed
account Of the recent engagement be-
tween the forces of Sir G. Colby and
the Beers, sent by a correspondent
who was actually present during the
conflict, make it plain that General
Colby was in reality defeated, and only
succeeded in escaping back to camp
under cover of the darkness, because
the Beers, who had drawn off with the
intention of renewing the attack in the
morning, believed the river to be not
fordable. General Colby was obliged
to leave his wounded on the field.
Details Of the fight show that the
troops were at a great disadvantage,
the Beers, by dint Of superior mark
manship, inAicting a loss out Of all
proportion to that which they them
selves received.
The steamer Batavia, some time
over due, has been spoken with. Her

The youngest child Of Edward Har-
rigan, the comedian, was buried in
Calvary Cemetery yesterday, says
New York special. A large number
of prominent professional people were
present. The girl was only eighteen
mouths old, and died on Saturday
night about the time her father was
dressing for the performance. The
news of the baby's death was semitic the
theaier and soon became known to all
in the place except Mr.. Harrigan, from
whom it was carefully concealed. Not
long after this information was brought
about Mr.. Harrigan's loss, another
messenger arrived at the Theater Co
mique with word that a child Of Mr.
Fisher, an actor in the theater, was
also dead. Harrican heard of this, in
common with every one else in the
house, with the exception of Fisher.
Great care was taken that he should
know nothing Of it. Fisher knew that
Harriean's baby was dead but sus-
pected nothing Of death in his own
home, and Harrigan was similar situa
ted with regard to Fisher. Both were
full Of sympathy for each otler during
the nights work, and after the per-
formance Of course both learned the
truth and turned sadly homewsrd. Mr5
Fishers child was buried yesterday,

THE Courier-Jou says that the
|river and harbor bill was rejected, un-
|doubtedly, because of the multitude
NJ appropriations for the improvement
n little creeks and brooks which have
no earthly connection with national
highways. These minor appropria-
tions brought the amount up to over
ten millions and quarter. Congress
can remedy this evil by enacting a
limit, and designating specifically the
character of streams and barbors
which may be improved. Rivers like
the Mississippi, the Ohio and the Mis-
souri, are legitimate subjects of i'm
.provement by congressional appropria-
ltion. They are national highways
in every sense of the word. Their
Improvement is required by the de-
mands of commerce. The appropria-
tions for such streams should not be
allowed to fail. Let the bill be re-
vised and purgod Of the frivolous
items, and it will be passed.
