FROM our Special Correspondent,

From our Special Correspondent,
CAMDRlDdE, o., December l2.-The FOL-
lowing additional particulars OF the stab
bling Of John Hayes, aud the dangerously
woanding Of Charles Luce, by school
teacher named W.. G. Frazier, m account
OF which appeared in the 1NrELLlaESckr,
have been learned by your correspondent:
The school in District No. 0, Cumberland
township has for years been noted as
hard one to teach. One month ago the
directors employed v. @. Fruzier, Of New
Concord, 10 teach the school. They in.
formed him Mt the time TINT there were
number OF refractory pupils aud that it
would be necessary for him to be very
firm. Fazier found that reports bud not
been exaggerated. Three or four OF tho
largest boys refused to study grammar.
The teacher insisted, and on Monday pro-
vided them with books and assigned them
lessons. On their refusal to study the les.
sons he ordered two Of them, John Hayes
and Charles Luce, 10 stand upon the floor
rs punishment. Luce arose and
struck at the teacher and fight
ensued in which Hayes also took part
against Frazier. The boys got the teacher
down and were pounding him badly, when
Frazler drew a dirk and stabbed both his
assailants. Hayes WIS cut in the,back, the
knife penetrating the heart. lIe ran ont
OF doors and fell dead. Luce was cut both
in the breast and back, and the doctors say
he will die.
Frazier assisted to carry Hayes to neigh.
boring house, and then came TO Cumber.
land where he gave himself up. lie waived
an examination and WIS sent TO Jail here
on the charge OF murder in the first degree.
The feeling around Cumberland is very
high. The friends Of Frazier say that tho
two boys had warned the teacher thnt
they would "clcan him out" on Monday,
and that Frazier provided the knife 10 de-
fend himself. Tie knife il Il two.edged
dirk, about six inches long and was carried
in Il scabbard inside his pantaloons. It
looks like new knife.
Your reporter saw the prisoner in the Jail
this morning, but he refused to make any
statement or to talk flor publication. lie Is
q nephew ofJudge ". II. Frazier, and is
about twenty-five years old. Hayes was
twenty years. old, and was son Of, Hugh
Hayes. Luce is eighteen years old, and Is
Il son of Matthias Luce. AT i o'clock yes
tertiay he WIS still living, but there are
slight hopes OF his recovery. Tho parents Of
the young men are wealthy and influential
citizens, and will spare no expense in pros
ecuting the slayer OF their SONS. Public
opinion is divided as 10 who was to blame,
but all deplore the use OF such murdcr-
otis weapon, even in Selfdefense.

KILLED FOR MONEY,
An officer Leads n Party Who Murder
mud Rob GYnNY.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, December PA
terrible tragedy and robbery occurred
near Courtland, Alabama, Saturday night.
A party ofgypsies were stopping near the
town. The news sot out that they
had considerable pile OF money, and u
party OF six armed men attacked them with
the express design Of robbery. One Of the
gypsles resisted ut first; but was soon knock
eddown and covered with pistols, but regain
ing his equilibrium took TO flight. The
murderer seized the remaining wandercr,
and, after crushing his skull by repealed
blows, shot him and robbed him Of his
money. The murderers carried his body
and placed it on the railroad truck, III
the hope that i train would crusl, it
beyond recognition, but by some means the
body was thrown from the track and Il, us
escaped the fate prepared for it. Suspicion
Of the tragedy fell upon the Marshal Of
Courtland, whose billet WIS found on the
spot where the murder occurred, and
enough circumstan,ial evidence leaked out
to justify the arrest OF him and two colored
men. The gypsy who preserved his life
by flight appeared at the preliminary in
vestigation and identified Marshal MAY
