A special Of the 21st ult. from
Chattanooga says: A few nights
ago, in an adjoining county, some
one fired a hay rick belonging to
Henry YarneI. While Yarnell,
after he had extinguished the flames,
was searching for the incendiaries,
assisted by man named Howe, the
report of a gun was heard and Var
nell dropped dead, shot through the
brain. Howe also was shot in the
mouth and dangerously, perhaps ia
tally, injured. The next day two
men named Brooks and Grifey were
arrested on suspicion, and, being
some distance from a Jail, they were
confined in a blacksmithshop, where
they were guarded by two men.
During the night noise was heard
at the window, and almost stimuli
taneously two rifles were fred, the
bullets entering the brains of the
two prisoners and causing their in
slant death. The greatest excite
ment prevails in the country. Sew
eral parties have been arrested and
have been removed to another part
of the county, for fear of lynching.
There are no positive proofs of the
cause of tho murder of Yarnell. 1t
is believed that it is the result of an
old feud. 1t is believed that the
two prisoners were killed by friends
of Yarnell.

Governor Cornell made a speech
at the reception given to General
Grant at Albany few nights since,
in which he said MY fellow-c -citi-
zens, you have come tonight to do
honor to one who, more than Wash
ington, was first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his
oountrymen,' the iIlustrious soldier,
statesman, citizen" When Grant
the third-termer, Grant the political
schemer, Grant the patron saint of
the whisky ring, is put above Wash
ington, the incompatible soldier and
statesman whose unselfish devotion
to republican institutions caused him
to decline a third election to the
Presidency, there is no telling what
the audaoity of Republican leaders
will not attempt

The Case Of CIaudius Handy.


From Bro. Gardeners Lime Kiln Club In Detroit
Free Press.
The Rev. Pensteck here secured
the floor and said that he had be-
come somewhat interested in the
case of a man named Claudius Han
dy, a resident of his neighbOrhOod.
The man was a wife -beater and a
drunkard, but thought he might be
tempted to reform if admitted TO the
club. The speaker would therefore
propose his name for membership.
There was a long minute Of sill
ence, and as no one supported the
proposition, Brother Gardner said :
"Brudder Penstock, dc ideah dat
you would be de sabin' of dat man
does credit to yer natur', an yet /
honestly believe dat dc would-be re-
formers am de wust inemies society
has to combat. Ebery man am his
own master. De difference between
right an wrong am too plain TO be
skipped. II am easier to be a sober,
decent man dan to be a drunkard
an q loafer. When you fin q man
who had rather be de latter dan dc
former, he am some poor coOt not
worth wastin' time Obor. De people
who ought to be Encouraged am de
honest, hard-workin' men, an not de
lazy an dissipated. If Claudius
Handy wants to 90 to de dogs dat's
his own lookout. If be hasn't got
'nuff manhood in his natur' TO be a
decent member of society dc sooner
he kills hisself of dc better fur as
all Dis club offers no premiums fur

turned into an asylum fur de sup
port of people too lazy to airn deir

That head altered sadly since,
With ringlets wreath'd, and eyes unclouded,
Gre passion left her feverish prints
Across a brow so early shrouded y
It used to lay woman's shoulder,
And wish it we're few years older.
Those thrilling years have glow'd-and gone,
And that wild face has felt their traces,
It bears the marks of years fOrlorn,
And from all congeniaI faces
From home, and each endearing scene,
That makes our memory serene.
Sorrow has writ in wrinkles, there.
The history of breaking heart
The struggle Of pride and mute despair,
That sWore to act the nOblest part
To hold it's brutal passions down,
And earn-an Angels crown
That forehead bears the Hghtning's blast,
Batter'd and torn by a stormy mind;
Those eyes look wretched and aRhast,
AS if they'd strove on earth to find
Something to love them-but in vain,
Like wintrE moonlight on the wane.
No wonder that they think me mad,
If mine is such mournfuI face
So very desolate and sad

That forehead seems like q tOombstOne broke
By midnight thunder stroke,
While the seant and Wither'd hair
Shrouds sweet hopes-wildly buried there.

Away when have wished TO wed,

How hearts, that would fain embrace,
Have Grown'd and daEken'd mp that facet

THE BIG PRINTING OFFICE.
Beginning Work on the ExtensiOn-A
Wholesale Furlough In Prospect.

Ground was broken on Wednesday last
for the new addition to the Government Printing
Office. Congress appropriated $4,000 for this work,
upon the plans submitted to the committees by
Architect Clark at the request of Mr. Defrees. An
adjoining lot of ground was purchased upon which
to build new stable, the old one to be torn down,
occupying as it did space upon which the addition
is to be built. This addition is TO be four stories
high with basement, and will be 81 by 90 feet
The basement will DO used to store fuel; the first
story vault for the stereotype plates thesecon
story will be the specification room; the third
an addition to the bindery, and the fourth
an extension of the folding room. The additional
structure will be built of brick, and be as nearly
fire proof as the nature of its materials will allow
The plan of the addition is in outward appearance
precisely the same as the main building. Archi-
tect Of the Capitol Clark is experimenting the
construction, most of which viii be done by days
work under the supervision of assistant superin-
tendents. 1t is expected to have the whole job
completed by the LIST of October. The failure of
Congress to appropriate for the Govern
ment Printing Office according to Mr.. Defrees'
estimates leaves such want of funds it is stated
that it will be absolutely necessary to furlough
hundreds of employees between this and the LIST
of July. The number Of these will probably reach
eight hundred. The furloughing will be gradual,
and, although great suffering must ensue, it will
be done in such manner as to cause the minimum
of annoyance There will be probably three hun
dred in the folding room, most of them women,
who will thus be temporarily deprived of work
through the false economy" principles Of the
majority in the last Congress.

LIE DRoIT PARK.
Proposed by the Property
Owners.

In response to call issued, there was
Very full attendance of the members of LIE Droit
Park Property Owners Association last nightin the
park. The meeting was called to order by Mr.. W.
Scott Smith, the president of the association, who
proceeded to state what had been done since the
lastmeeting to promote the interests of the park
and the large number of residents living therein.
The first business before the association
was the election of officers for the ensuing
year. On motion of General W. ". Birney, Mr..
W. Scott Smith was unanimously reelected presi-
dent of the association, Colonel o. H. Irish was
nominated and elected vice president; James H.
McGill secretary; J. J. Albright, treasurer, and E.
B. Barnum the additional member Of the eXeeu-
tive committee The president said he had re-
Gently had an interview with the District Commits
sioners and that the lighting of two additional
gas lamps in the park had been ordered. He had
also seen the Major and Superintendent of Police
about giving the park better police protection, and
had received assurances that the matter should
receive prompt attention, and an officer detailed
specially for night duty in the park.
General Birney submitted motion. which was
adopted, that vote of thanks be extended to the
president of the association for his active efforts
during the past year in behalf of the park.
The question of opening up new street on the
east side of the Park running from Boundary
street through to the Soldiers Home, then came
up, ana gave rise 10 considerable discussion, all
concurring in the opinion that such street was
needed. A resolution was then offered and adopted
that the members of the association will CO. oper-
ate heartily with the District Commissioners in Sc
curing the opening of such street and road, and
instructing the executive committee to take steps
to make effective such cooperation. Attention
was directed to the fact that all the houses and a
large amount of property in the Park were greatly
exposed and jeopardized in case of fire by the
action of the water department in shutting off the
pressure of water between the hours of midnight
and fvei o'clock a. M, and thus practically pre-
venting the flow of water in the park. The execu-
tive committee were directed to look into the mat
ter and endeavor to have it remedied soon as
possible. The need Of fire engine in the northern
section of the city regarded as very pressing.
After discussing various other matters and direct
ing that rules be prepared for the government
and guidance of the special day-pOlcemen, the
meeting adjourned.

A RAILROADS. RESPONSIBILITY.
The Baltimore and Potomac Company
WIN One Suit-An0sher One on Trial.

The case of Valentine Roth against the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company,
wherein Roth sued the railroad company for the
value of the services of his daughter little girl
eight years old, who was struck by passing train
and killed, was concluded yesterday by the court
directing the jury to bring in verdict for the
defendant. At the conclusion of the plaintiff S
evidence motion was made for this purpose,
which the court granted. The ground IF the de-
cision was that the father of this little child had
been in the habit OF sending her across Virginia
avenue, on which three railroad tracks ran, to
carry milk about the neighborhood. and that on
this day she had gone over, probably, for the pur-
pose of visiting aunt who lived on the opposite
side of the street. The limited express came in
from New York, and the child, when first seen,
was standing in the ditch at the side of the road,
between Third and Four and a-hnlf streets, and
when the train came by the engine passed her,
but one of the cars struck her on the head and
killed her. No on the engine or train saw her.
The child was deaf and dumb, and the court held
that it was gross carelessness on the part of the
parents to permit her to go this street in that
way, and that, being in the habit of sending her
across the railroad track for the purpose of deliver
ing milk &c, it would be presumed that she had
gone over this dangerous place by their consent.
The verdict was, therefore, rendered in behalf of
the railroad company. Mr.. Birney appeared for
the plaintiff and Enoch Totten, esq. for the rail-
road company.
The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company
at present is absorbing the entire attention of the
Circuit Court. Yesterday after finishing with the
case of Valentine Roth against that corporation,
the suit brought by Dennis Humphrey against the
road came on for hearing. This is an action fled
by Messrs. r. T. Merrick and William F. Mattingly
in behalfOf the plaintiff fors2O, 600 damages. In
April 1878, Edison Humphrey, lad about ten
years of age, son of the complainant, was
run over by train at Virginia avenue and Four
and-a-half street, and his left leg was cut off
below the knee. The father entered suit for
damages to the amount above stated The little
fellow was in court yesterday, moving about on his
crutches. The company pleads that there was
neither carelessness nor negligence on Its part
When the court adjourned yesterday Colonel
Enoch Totem, counsel for the company. was put
ting in the evidence for his side The case will be
finished next Monday, to which time the jury was
resDited-
