Senator miII's Condition.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, October 12.-It is
not likely that Senator Hill, of Geor-
gia, will ever again occupy attention
as a public speaker He looks in his
usual health, excepth he has lost a little
flesh and is somewhat pale, but his
general physical condition, except the
cancer in the mouth, seems about as
good as ever. His physicians say that
his blood is in good condition, which
gives hopes that he may live down
the disease which has taken hold of
him.
For about five years he has been
conscious of a very slight unnatural
growth on the side Of the tongue, but
as it gave no inconvenience or pain
he paid little attention to it. When
informed that it was cancer, he had il
cut out within a few hours. Two
weeks after the operation was perform.
ed the disease manifested itself, and
still more of his tongue was cut out
Five weeks have now elapsed and
there is no temperance of the dis
ease, which gives strong hopes that
the roots of it have been reached.
The loss interieres with his voice,
causing a slight defect in his speech
His physicians have ordered him tc
talk as little as possible. Senator Hill
has the sympathy of wide circle in
his afiiction, with hopes for his re-
csvery, and the simple reply to these
hopes, orally expressed. causes him tC
talk more than his physicians think
good for him.

Early this morning while young
man named S. j. Mitchell was driving
out of the city and near White Sta
ton, Joe Robson, darky who was
driving with him pulled out watch
which Mitchell at once recognized as
one that had been stolen from man at
Dunn's stable last night. Mitchell tried
to find an officer at White Station
but failed, and taking the darky in
charge boarded the II o'clock train
and came to the city. Robson
jumped at Vance street quickly fol-
lowed by Mitchell, and lively strug.
gle followed. Mitchell managed to
hold his man until Officer Toler
reached him. He was covered with
blood and glory from head to foot. He

Turner TALKS.

Attorney General Turner was asked
this morning If he intended to insist
on the County's keeping back his sal
ary until the fees he had collected for
investigating County Officers should
be balanced. He replied that he had
not been about the County Court, had
asked no favors, and the letter which
was published this morning was meant
for the Chairman of the Court person
ally. He went on to say that he
had earned the money, was Justly en-
titled to it by law but had neglected
the formality of getting an order from
the court before presenting his bill
for payment. He said further that he
had drawn only $3.50 and that the
check for the other $1OO had been
cancelled by the chairman at his re
quest, as soon as he discovered that he
had drawn the other informally. "Old
Turner" he said never got any credit
for anything he did. He mentioned
two instances Of public officials whose
heavy defaults he had discovered, and
whom he had prosecuted, yet, he said
he never got any credit for it, and
that he did work for the county worth
at least 5000, but got only $137 50 fol
his services.

overlook Mrs. Ellen johnson, an aged

and beating her in a villianous man
ner. The news in a short time spread
far and near, and large crowds of men
made diligent search for the perpetra-

Robertson was captured near the JEFF
ferson county line by colored men,
who at once conveyed him to Nor
gan's Fork, within half mile Of the
place where the deed was committed
Not less than 300 or 400 people, both
black and white, assembled at Nor
gan's Fork, where the prisoner was
held. The question as to what dis
position was to be made of him was
agitated, and it was finally proposed to
take the vote Of the large crowd
assembled, which was done, showing
the crowd to be unanimously in favor
of hanging the british scoundrel,
which was done. Good order pre-
vailed throughout, and it was done in
open daylight, ON the public highway,
witnessed by as many as 400 people,
both white and black. This ended
the career Of this young demon, who
