brother, Dan Mills. She called Jane
Jackson out, and, it is stated, beat her
literally to death with stones and sticks,
leaving her lifeless body in the yard. The
sheriff has captured Dan Mills, and at
last accounts was in close pursuit of the
woman, who fled. All ofthe parties are
negroes.

Pathetic Incidents of Life and Deatn In the

Pathetic Incidents of Life and Death In the
Submerged Region.
Tho rivers fell slightly at Memphis aud
Helena yesterday, and there was feeling
Of relief at the latter place. A new levee
near Lake Charles broke in several places
on Thursday morning, and the workmen
encamped upon it barely escaped with
their lives: The news from the interior
counties of Arkansas and Mississippi con-
tinues to look gloomy, and there are also
unfavorable reports from Louisiana. The
Point Coupee crevass is now one thousand
feet wide and about ten feet deep, aud
terrible devastation is expected in cOnse-
quence of tho waters through it. Reports
from YazoO City and Friar's Point, Miss
issippi, state that the river is rising at
those points. Captain Sinnott has ar
rived at New Orleans from Alexandria,
and reports $50 families living on RATS
near that place, in a deplOrable condition.
A Hero OF the Flood.
One of the saddest Incidents of the
week was the drowning last Tuesday of
Mr. Haynes. the wharf master at River
ton. Mrs. bradshaw, helpless lady, was
! in imminent peril, and the only chance to
reach her was to pull through the rushing
torrent of tho crevasse. It was y time
for fear, and stout hearts quailed before
the awful danger. With but a moment
Of hesitation and tremor of fear though
bis frame Mr.. Haynes grasped the oars
and his frail boat shot into the stream. He
was urged to return, but the only answer
he gave was tho prophetic words which
rang out as his death knell-
"'Tis life for a life."
The boat rode through the seething
waves, and hope rose high that he was
safe. A moment more and the current
caught up the boat and tossed it around
and around; a moment more and the watch
ers saw it go down i'll tho depths, ard he
who had earned renown by his bravery
sank beneath the current. The people
point to the spot and tell of his valor and
his worth, and long after the waters have
gone down his name will be remembered
with blessing and tear.
Born Amid the Waters.
Among the sufferers in the Big Creek
bottom were two women who were in the
travail of childbirth. One was confined
upon a raft and the other III gin house,
after they.had been driven from home by
the flood and without one of the comforts
known in civilized state. The wind blew
mercilessly around them, the mothers
scarcely half clad and no clothing at all
for the little ones ; no fire and no food to
be had under any circumstances. The
swift current of the overflow was rushing
by and anxious eyes were looking for re g.
cue from any quarter, the water in the
meantime rising rapidly. All this made
a picture as our relief boat came upon the
scene do not care to witness again and no
pen can faithfully describe. These people
lost all of their personal property, even
most of the clothes that were usually worn.
The water coming in so rapidly they had
scarcely time to save themselves, and if
they are not entitled to the aid of the
government it would not be possible to
find a single deserving object on the
earth.

The Lancaster weekly Inquirer pub
fishes letters from J. Hay Brown, esq,
counsel for Calvin Carter, and from
Alderman J. X. Barr to support the al
legation that "the INTELL1eENCER
lied when it said:
We do not know whether Mr.. Calvin
Carter has sued the 1NTELLIaENCEn for
libel or not. We do not care. We pro-
pose to say nothing more or less il he has
not or will not do SO than We would
say if he has done SO or proposes to do
So"
The correspondents of the Inquirer
both say, what the INTELL1aENcER
itself has already said, that; they in
formed one of the editors of the INTEL
LIGENCER that Carter had gone to
Barr's, sworn to a complaint and left it
there. Neither Of them says, what
each of them knows to he true, that
at the same time they informed
the editor of the INTELLIGENCER
that soon after Carter had left his COM
plant his counsel ,cent to Barr's and
directed that no Uarrant Issue and that the
suit be not docketed until further orders.
The Inquirer, like its correspondents,
suppresses this important fact, in order
to suggest the falsehood that i" the IN
TELLIGENCER lied" when it said it did
not know whether or not it was sued
for libel.
Meanwhile the Inquirer does not seem
to have any inclination to answer these
questions addressed to it a week ago by
the INTELLIGENCER:
Meanwhile, if Carter has sued it why
don't he 60 on with his suit And if tho
Inquirer editor instigated Carter to bring
his suit why does he not exercise his po-
tential influence to get him to go on with
it? The INTELLIGENCER has said that
while Carter did not, as was originally
supposed, sell his own four dollar pigs to
the prison for seven dollars a head, he did
buy shoats from his friend and political
crony at an exorbitant price that he did
buy goods from the prison for his friends
and relatives at prices far below the reg
ular retail prices of tho same, and that he
needlessly bought for the prison, from his
relatives. at an unduly high price, pota.
toes which the prison keeper says will
only spoil on his hands. Obviously if Car
ter ever brought or had any notion OF
bringing libel suit, there is more occa.
sion for him to 90 on with it now than
there ever was. =
And as the Inquirer sets up for a censor OF
editorial ethics and wants to know if lie
is ever justifiable it may as we'll answer at
the outset of the discussion, why it has de
MED that when its editor ran for Congress
he gave Levi Sensenig his note for 81, 600,
to be paid if elected-the note, pending
his defeat, being held by mutual friend.

A PARAGRAPH IS going the rounds, at'
tracing some attention to the fact that
since September, 1878, there have been
1927 divorces granted in Philadelphia.
This is rate Of about $50 a year and is
said to be more by 100 per cent. than in
any other city of the Union in proportion
to population" It is very easily explained
why the rate of divorces should be much
higher in the larger centres OF population
than in rural districts. Not only do
crime and laxity of domestic proprieties
more abound in the cities, but the facili-
ties for supplying the evidence necessary
to secure divorce are greater and the legal
shystering that is often invoked to get
them is more readily procurable.. For
rural community this county has its full
share of divorce suits. With a population
probably one-sixtl as numerous as
Philadelphia, Lancaster county now has
about so divorces per year-or nearly as
many, according to the population, as has
been said to be double the average rate Of
other cities than Philadelphia. The In
TELLIeENCER has in several instances il
Illustrated how carelessly and on what
flimsy pretexts divorces arc granted
in this court. Since it has become
notorious that legal separations are SO
easily procurable here it is no wonder that
parties who want them take up temporary
residence here only to get them. This has
been done, and for still other reasons the
local court will do we'll to rub it's glasses
when the next dcpositions in divorce are
presented to it.

that MacVeagh only remained because
he had Garfisld's entire permission tc
accomplish the senatorial rejection OF

Blaine readily assented to this sacrifice
of his friend or was forced to allow it to
be made, it is very certain that no ad-
ministration could survive the frequency
of being compelled to make nominations
of which it was likewise compelled to
procure rejection by the Senate.
Nor is it any secret that Mr.. Garfield s

patronage in New York was to allow
Collector Merritt to remain where he

Desperate Encounter with burglars.

A bold burglary and desperate encounter
between burglars and policemen occurred at
2:20 a. m. to-day on Bridge, near Congress
street, Georgetown. Officers Burrows and
Gates were patroling Bridge street when they
cav two suspicious characters standing in
front OF Henry Straus' clothing store, on
Bridge street. and slipping up to an adjoining
doorway hid themselves in the vestibule to
await developments. The officers heard q
sound like the cutting of a wire screen, and
determining that tho men were burglars took
every precaution to insure their capture. Re-
moving their shoes, the officers slipped up to
the men. One was standing on the sidewalk
with a bag. The wire window screen had
been cut through and a piece of glass 15
inches by 2 feet in dimensions forced out of
the plate-glass window The other man was
handing clothing out of the window, and the
bag was already nearly full. Onicer Gates
drew a pistol and commanded the men to
stand, and had no sooner spoken than two
pistol shots were fired at the officers, brick
bat thrown from an adjoining corner and a
desperate fight commenced. The melee
lasted some time, the officers firing several
times and the two burglars also firing, while
an accompltce bombarded the officers with
bricks from n distance. neighbor who

The burglars dropped the bag of clothing and
ran In different directions, and the policemen,
being in their stocking feet, were unable to fol
low them very far. II is thought that one o

other slightly injured. The three men were
