On last Friday night news reached town
that Mr.. Jas. q. Evans, one of the county's
most enterprising saw mill men had been
fatally stabbed at his mill about 5 miles
southwest of this place on the Meadvile
road, by a young man named Preston
Smith.
The circumstances which led to this
tragic affair are related by witnesses AS
follows Some two weeks previous to the
fatal difficulty, n son of Mr. Evans had
killed hog in his fathers field belonging
to Smith. Smith discovered this a few
days after the hog was killed, aud when he
did SO. weHt to the Senior Evans and de-
mandcd payment for his loss This, Evans
cheerfully agreed to make, either by Civ
ing Smith another hog or in money. Smith
said another hog would be troublesome to
keep at home, and preferred that his loss
be made good in cash. ThereupOn 81 was
agreed upon us the price of the hog killed,
which Evans was to pay upon demand, and
the matter considered settled. Late last
Friday evening young Smith, ia company
with friend, went TO Evans mill to get
his money. As the hands were quitting
work, he desired to speak to Mr.. Evans
privately and the two walked a little aside
in "a friendly manner aud sat down upon
log. What words passed between the two
men after this is not definitely known, as
none of the witnesses could hear their con
versation; but dispute arose which came
to blows, the two men clnchcd. and at
this stage Smith stabbed Evans several
times in the breast and side with all Ordi-
nary pOcket-knifc from the effects of which
he expired almost before anyone
realized what was going OH.
Smith was soon arrested aud on pre-
Urinary trial before Justice Baggett Sat
urday afternoon, he was held to appear ut
the next term of the Circuit court in Il
bond of $1,000. lie gave the bond late
Monday evening and is now at large.
The affair is to be very much regretted
for a number of reasons. Evans was u
man of about fifty, with a large family,
and was quiet, useful citizen; while
Smith is young man of p, with II Young
wife, and has heretofore borne a good char
acter.

MeadviIIe Notes.
MEANWHILE, Sept. 10, l5S3

MEADvILLE, Sept. 10, 1888.
To the Editor of The Leader:
Since my last dots were written, our viii
lage has been startled by the announce
ment of the death of one of our esteemed
citizens. Mrs. Mary Irwin died on Thurs
day morning between A and 5 o'clock of n
congcstivc chill. She leaves 4 children,
three of them small and helpless, besides
many friends to mourn her loss.
This county was visited by fine rain
on Saturday night last, and some light
showers on Sunday. This will benefit
gardens, sweet potatoes and peas. but is
too late to benefit other crops. 1t is hoped
that it will improve the health of the coun-
ty, as much sickness still prevails.
The Circuit Clerk is up to his knuckles
in ink, preparing for Circuit Court which
is to convene here next Monday. The
State docket is larger than usual, on ac-
count of continuances at the last term, but
no very grave cases are for hearing, unless
new cases com" up not now under indict-
ment.
The nomination of McLain, for District
Attorney at the convention i'll Faycttc last
week surprised the voters i'll this county,
and creates no enthusiasm. A great many
of the voters in this county are opposed to
tOuNcutlollS, anu l'I S'I'ihS tii' man W
their choice, will yield bnt Il lukewarIn
support to the nominee, and unless the
democracy. can be aroused, it is useless to
try to disguise the fact that, Col. Dcason
will prove formidable opponent.
Protracted meetings at the Baptist and
Methodist churches in the county have been
the 90 for the last two months. These
meetings have been well attended, the con
grcgations large, and the services interest
ing, but regret to say That bus few con
versions have as yet been reported. Ii is
hoped, however, that much good seed has
been sown which will in the future spring
up aud bear abundant fruit.
The Wilson Railroad, is progressing rap
idly III Franklin county. A large force is
already at work on it, and our farmers,
many of them. ARE suplementing their short
crop by few months work on the road.
1t is estimated that from 1900 to 20O0 hands
are mt work in this county, and the force
is being daily increased. | learn that the
contractors are very sanguinc that the
grading will be completed in December.
The completion of this road will be the
death knell to NItcheZ, as almost the en-
tire trade of that city comes from Frank
lin and Jefferson counties which trade viii.
be cut off by this road. 1t will also effect
the trade some on the big J" road, but
not very seriously. The rich and beauti
full valley of the Homochitto, whose trade
has been divided between BrOokhaven,
Summit and Natchez will be but little at
fected by the Wilson road; it is too far
west. Dor.

A YOutnfuI Detective and his DiscOv.
cries I'm ScaIper's Office.

please mister do you want detect
ive?" asked 15-year-Old boy of a rail
way off ,ial in this city. Before the re-
preventative of leading Western road
could answer, the boy went on to explain
that his brothe rim law was a detective,
and he felt that he wanted to be detect
i've himself and get a position on the
detective force when he was old enough.
The result of the boys application was
engaged as youthful detective by the
railway company. The boy went away
and procured employment from a Hebraic
Clark street seal per, who does business
according to some peculiar principles of
his own. The boy secured the unbound
ed confidence of his employer, and dis
| covered that the scalper of passes pro
cured the same in a very clever and en-
terprising, if not an homes; way. After
the boy had worked for his dishonest
employer he left and told his experience
to the railroad company.
During the month he had discovered
that the seal per published a paper Of
which at least dozen copies were print
ed month. Letter heads were also
printed bearing the following heading:
coffee Of the Episcopal Register, the
leading organ Of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in the west, No. 1863 La Sale
street, published by the Episcopal Regis
ter Company. Circulation 1000, which is
Larger than that of any other Journal of

Neither of these names is in the City
Directory. The scheme was to write let
tiers on this letter. paper to the railroads,
accompanied by copy of the paper
Once month the date of the paper was
changed but the contents remained the
same. Among the roads taken in were
the Rock Island, Grand Trunk, Burling-
ton and the Northwestern. AS soon as a
pass was obtained it was sold, so that the
scalper did good business. It is not
known whether he also published the
Hardshell Harpsichord for the Baptists
and The Pinnacle for the Presbyterians,
but it is known that he made much
money out of the scheme Owing to the
fact that q railroad man made blunder
in prosecuting the scalper, the latter will
escape punishment The railroad man
talked too much and the scalper heard
what was going on, so that he destroyed
all traces of his guilt. But the boy was
rewarded. Chicago Inter Ocean.
