A DarkeY Caught Stealing, Consents
10 he ThFassled.

The steamer Katie arrived here from Au-
gusta last evening. On her last up trip the
following Incident occurred: A party Of col
ored men took passage from Savannah to
Parachucla, and among them was an enter
terprising individual, who attempted to
make something on his passage.
This party, whose name is not
ascertained, gas caught by the
Waterman, Mr.. 4. Ramsey, with demi-
john of liquor, a bag Of meat, and about
twenty five pounds of cheese which he had
stolen from the freight on board. The boat
hands took charge of the thief, and the In
tention was to keep him in custody until he
could be turned over to a constable.
Some of his colored friends, however, inter-
cedsd IL his behalf, stating that he had al
ways borne good character, and hsd not
been concerned in anything OF the king
before, and proposed that In lieu OF send
ing him to Jail that he be- given twenty-five
lashes. The proposition was acceded to,
proVided the man gave his consent to be
thrashed rather than stand the ordeal OF the
lag. The colored kleptsHmanlac very VIII"
ingly agreed to this arrangement, saying Ia
would rather haze his liberty than be placed
In duraGce vile. Accordingly bis friends
procured well seasoned hickory switch,
the culprit was brought forth and prepared
for the ceremony, and the "executioner" Of
the sentence proceeded to administer the
twenty-five lashes with much vigor. The
darkeY WINGED, but stood his volun-
tary punishment without a murmur, and
was then turned loose, leaving the steamer
at Parachucla. On the down trip of the
steamer he was seen at that landing and
recognized by some Of the boat hands, who
asked him how he felt. He replied he was
all right, but felt rather sore.

A century ago the " Encyclopedia Britain
MICA had it's chosen field all to itself. By
this time many cyclop@dias compete with it
for popular favor. We have had frequent
occasion to make a comparative examina-
ton of it and several competitors, and must
pronounce it incomparably preferable to
auy others, all things considered. By issu-
Ing new editions from time to time, its facts
and ideas keep abreast with the progress of
the age. The ninth edition has reached the
eleventh volume, and by publishing an
American edition Messrs. j. NJ. Stoddart s.
Co. are doing the public a marked favor.
The English editions have always been so
expensive that only few copies, compare
lively, found their way into private libraries.
1t is matter Of surprise and regret that an
American edition was delayed 80 long. We
have examined the volumes already issued
OF this ninth edition, and find it a great i'm
provement upon its Immediate predecessor,
the eighth edition. The American edition ia

B1ghty Cords OF WOOD and a Portion
OF the ChaFlesGOn and savannah
Railway Track Destroyed.

The passenger train on the Charleston
and Savannah Railway, due here from
Charleston Yesterday afternoon at 2:40
o'clock, did not reach here until twenty
minutes past seven O'Clock. During the
afternoon 1t was reported that the detention
was caused by avery large fire in the woods
near Vaudeville, skirting the railroad track,
which had done considerable injury. The
train was in charge Of Mr.. q. L. Pinckney,
one of the cleverest and most efficient con-
ductors on the line, and from him we OBJ
tanned the following particulars:
About l O'Clock, when the train
was within seven or eight miles
Of Vaudeville, the engineer observed
heavy volume of smoke rising from
point some distance ahead, which was ap-
parently on the side of the track, and as
the woods in that vicinity have been on fire
for the past several days he attributed the
smoke to that cause. The train proceeded
on its way, and when a short distance from
the "old STILL" which is three and half
miles from Vaudeville on 3 curve, i'm
mense sheets Of flames were seen leaping
across the track, and 1t was found that
some eighty cords of ightwood, stacked on
either side OF the road, were on fire. a
strong wind was blowing at the time, and
the heat was so intense and the smoke so
heavy as to render approach to the scene
nearer than two or three hundred yards i'm
possible. There are no houses in the vicinity,
and there were no facilities for extinguishing
the flames, which spread until there was
nothing left for them to feed on. The train
was stopped at a safe distance and Conduc-
tor Plnckney proceeded to reconnOitre.
The fire had probably been burning several
hours, and In short time after the train
came in sight the large pilesof fat hight
wood were reduced to cinders and
ashes. The flames having spread across
the track, the rails were heated d-hot
and were curled and warped up for dis
lance Of about one hundred and twenty
yards. A number OF cross ties were also
consumed, and the road bed was filed with
hot cindeFs. Assoon as the intensity of the
heat subsidized and the smoke cleared away
an examination was made of the
track, and 1t was found nee
essary to replace some of the cross
ties and lay three or four bars Of
iron. This was done as speedily
as was possible under the circum.
stances, and the train passed safely over
the burnt space and proceeded to Hardee-
vile, when additional force was sent back
to adjust the track and complete the tenn
porarY repairs. The train which left
Savannah at 3:l5 p. IN. was In waiting
at Vaudeville, having been detained
about three quarters Of an hour. On the
arrival Of the Savannah bound train it pro
ceeded on its way and went through all
right The wood belonged to Mr.. Charles
Williams and had been hauled to the side
OF the track for the use of the railroad, but
had not been turned over to the company,
hence the loss falls upon Mr. Williams. 1t is
supposed that sparks from the fire in the
woods fell among the resinous wood and
tins iOnited IT,

A Negro Prisoner Attempts 80 Escape
from the SharfRanA Ia KfIIaA

We learn from passengers who arrived
here Saturday morning by the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway train, of the
shooting of negro prisoner at Jesup on
Friday night. Mr.. Joe LambFlght, Shoritf
Of Glynn county, had in his custody two
negroes whom hs was bringing from Bruins
wick to Savannah, to be incarcerated
In Jail here for safe keeping. The
negroes were concerned in some burglary in
or near Brunswick recen@J. SheriH Lam
bright had arrived at Jesup with the priso-
ners on Friday afternoon, and had them IN
custody at that place over night. There be-
ing no apprehension of an attempt on the
part OF the prisoners to escape, they were
unshackled though a close watch was kept
upon them. At daylight they were brought
out to take the train, which had just ar
rived, when the negroes suddenly made
break from the Sheriff and dashed under the
cars. Sheriff Lambright drew his pistol
and fred at them, the bali striking one of
the negroes named Burr In the back of the
head, coming out over the left eye,
killing him instantly. The other negro es-
capped, but was pursued and may yet be ap-
pretended.
The above are all the facts that could be
obtained In reference to the affair.
