The Domestic Troubles OF a New
York Couple.

Mention has been made in the MORNING
NEWS Of the suit brought by Mrs. Anne
Louise Campbell against her husband, VII
liam Campbell, for abandonment and cruel
treatment, and finally for alimony. The
details of this case may briefly be cited
as follows; The parties named, to-
gether with their child and Mrs.
Campbell's maid, and Mr.. ]. B.
Harris, a clerk of Mr.. Campbell, arrived
here on Tuesday morning from New York,
where they reside, en- route to Florida. Mr..
Campbell suddenly disappeared after reach
ing here, and his wife, fearing abandon
ment. bad a warrant issued for his arrest,
which was accomplished late in the even
ing. Mr.. Campbell gave bond. and, after
various proceedings. the case finally came
up In the Superior Court Saturday on bill
for alimony, motion to dismiss, on plea Of
non-jurisdiction, having previously been
overruled.
Saturday Mrs. Campbell was placed on
the stand, and her evidence under the
cross-examination of the counsel for Mr..
Campbell, was decidedly startling and sensa-
ttoDal, revealing in all its plainness the inner
domestic life of the couple, coupled with
some lively developments as to the con-
duct OF the defendant and of
the complainant We do not
consider it necessary to give all the details
as so graphically related by the witness, who
preserved remarkable self possession and
composure, and cleverly parted the search
ing questions of the cross-examining attor-
ney. Such case has probably never before
been heard in the Superior Court. 1t was
alleged that the defendant was a wealthy
merchant 10 New York, worth over $500 600,
and engaged In a lucrative business. The
defendant only admitted to being worth
$l5O,OOO, and alleged the most generous
maintenance of his wife. On the other
hand cruelty, i'll treatment and abuse were
alleged, and decidedly unfortunate phase
OF coniugal life exhibited.
The complainant was represented by
Messrs. A, P. & s. B. Adams, and the de-
PENDANT by Messrs. Garrard q Meldrim
After the testimony and argument the court
granted the following order, and the case
will go before jury on Saturday next:
Annie Louise Campbell, complainant, and
VIM. Campbell, defendant. Alimony. Upon
hearing the plead!ngs, evidence and argu-
ment in the above case, 1t is considered aud
ordered by the court that the defendant do
pay to the complainant five hundred dollars
on account OF her temporary alimonY, and
the further sum of five hundred dollars be
deposited by the defendant in the registry
OF the court, the same to be paid to the
Clerk of the court and held subject to the
order of the court for complainant's
support, and that defendant do pay to A. P.
& s. B. Adams, compliments solicitors, the
further sum of $500 on account of their
counsel fees, with leave to them to move
for an additional $500 as the case progresses,
and further, that in default OF said pay
ments that an attachment for contempt do
issue against the defendant.
The counsel for defendant gave notice
they would file bill Of exceptions to the
order.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
An Old Man Found Dead-VerdIet OF
the COroner,s Jury.

On Saturday last the body Of an unknown
white man, apparently about 20 or IS years Of
age, was found lying dead on the ogeechee
road some distance from this city. There
were marks Of violence upon the body indi-
eating that the old man had been foully dealt
with, but unfortunately there was no clue
to the murderers, and no one in the neigh
borhood could tell who the unfortunate man
was or anything about him. All that is
koown is that q murder has again been
committed 10 this vicinity, and 1t is to be
hoped the authorities viii leave no stone
unturned to ferret out the crime, and bring
the dsstardly perpetrators to justice.
Coroner Sheftsll was notified Of the
affair snd proceeded to the spot indicated,
TO hold az inquest upon the body. One
witness, John b. Smith. was sworn and eX-
amined, aud testified as follows: Deceased
came TO my store on last Wednesday even
ing and called for something to drink,
aud he also got something TO eat /;
I told hin it was getting late, so
ne ECt up and left, the inext
m ,rnibg. when I opened the store, about
$50 O'Clock, he was outside; be asked me
To lei him 90 in and warmi / told him no,
but said II he wished would make fire
outside for him; he replied yes l then
made the fire, and reported the case to
Justice Beiber on the Ogeechee, who said
be had nothing 10 do with him, but he
returned to the shop with me and saw de
ceased; he said he could not do anything;
the deceased wanted to go to town; l sent
hun, aud told the driver to let bin get OF
whenever he wanted to get off; deceased
told me he was at the station, when
two cOlOred men came up to him and
knocked him down and kicked him, and
took all he had except a little money that
he had in his pants pocket; he said he had
five cents, that saw; don't know his name
or where he came from; he told me be was
working al some saw mills he had bruises
on his person when he came to my store; be
told me be was sick and wanted drink; L
live twelve miles on the Ogetchee road.
Upon this testimony the jury found
verGiet to the effect "that said unknown
white man came TO his death by wounds re-
ceived AZ the hands of person or persons

At $50 o'clock yesterday morning, while
the tug !. Brameu was towing q schooner
down the river, she discovered that the
Hight house on Fig Island point was on fire.
she A. once played q stream Of water upon
4, and succeeded in saving the frame Of the
building and portion OF the oil which was
stored there.
Il Is thought that the fire was caused by
the explosion Of a lamp, and as the light
house tender at the point with q sufficient
quantity Of oil to last six months, there was
plenty OF food for the flames. But for
the promptness Of the Captain Of the tug
the entire building and its contents would
doubtless have been consumed.

The Escaped COnvicGs Surprised in
Camp One Wounded and Captured
The. Others shot. But Escape.
The announcement Of the escape OF three
negro convicts sentenced to terms on the
chain gang, by overpowering and robbiDg
the guard, 7. B. Lee, while on the way to
the camp at CuYler swamp, on Thursday
evening, has been made and the particulars
are known to the community.
Immediately upon the escape
being reported to the County Commission
eTs, prompt measures were adopted to ap
prehend the fugitives II possible. Detec-
tives were employed, aud, with an armed
posse, a. once started on the trail. They were
very successful, and managed to get clue
to the direction the fugitives had taken, and
following 1t traced them to point near the
Central Railroad, about ten miles from the
city.
The fugitives, with two other negroes,
whom, It seemed, they had encountered on
the road, had gone into camp for few
hours, waiting for the train to pass, when
they intended to get on board. AS soon as
the officers discovered them, they called
upon the three negroes-Charles Flowers,
William Henry alias Moon, aud Rob
ert CummiDgs-to come cut and surrender.
Instead of obeying the negroes broke into
a run, when the officers fired upon them,
their guns being loaded with small shot
purposely, as it was not desired to kill any
of the parties, should they attempt TO es-
cape, and It was necessary to fire upon
them.
Charles Flowers, the most notorious of
the three, was severely wounded in the leg
and body, tut not seriously or dangerously,
and was captured. On him were found $751;
the money taken from the guard, and also
his pistol. Flowers told his eaptors where
the watch had been left, and, we under
stand, it was subsequently recovered.
The other two prisoners escaped, but
were both wounded, one being severely hurt
in the mouth, and it is not likely that they
will be able to elude the officers fer any
length of time.
The prompt sc ion in this matter reflects
credit upon the Commissioners, and it Is 8
matter of graduation that Flowers las been
recaptured.

Handsome furniture for tho HOII-


In this practical age those who wish to
commemorate the holidays are on the look
out for something useful to purchase as a
substantial testimonial to their loved ones,
who know that they are remembered, and
nothing could be better for this purpose
than a handsome set Of psTior or bedroom
furniture, comfortable rocker. or any of
the many articles which now comprise the
stock of a modern furniture house. Then a
new carpet or curtains, or both,
will prove a practical token of affec-
ton, and at the same time, IL
the donor be the head Of the family, he can
also enjoy the comforts which his gift may
bring TO the household. II this be the
method in which our citizens propose to
celebrate the holidays, they should visit
