Fisher, who was killed along with Ben
Thompson, was the man who was presented
to Horace Greeley in 1870 or 1871, when the
venerable editor was in BRENNAN for the pur-
pose OF delivering an address before the Agri.
cultural society. Mr.. Greeley bad expressed
a desire to see a typical Texas desperate, and
Fisher spontaneously posed before him in
this character. Mr.. Greeley looked at him
searchingly, and said he did not like to ask
an improper question, but he would really
like to know how many mel Fisher had
killed.
"only one" was the prompt reply.
"Why." said Mr.. Greeley, with a look of
surprise, al was told that you had killed
five Mexicans at a f~andango on one occasion,
to say nothing about many other like
crimes"
"Mexicansl' CIRCULATED Fisher, with a
string Of oaths which startled his inquisitor
a don't call Mexicans men"
Among other stories Of this mans murder
Gus exploits in Mexico is one to the effect
that he charged through a Town on the
other side u the Rio Grande with nine pairs
OF Mexican ears strung IN his bride rein.

A DARK HORSE WINS.
Mr.. Tuomey, Of Sumter, Appointed
L. S. Marshal for South Carolina.
Especial to News and Courier. !

Especial to News and Courier.]
WASHINGTON, February 5.-The
name Of Il. J. Tuomey was sent in 10y
the President to-day for United States
Marshal Of South Carolina. This will
be a surprise to Il good many people
and especially to the friends of Living
ston and Agnew. Mr.. Tuomey has
been a deputy collector of Internal
Revenue under Collector B:ayton who
was his principal backer. Both Bray
ton and Tuomey were here recently
and the contest is said to have been set
tied satisfactorily by the compromise.
1t is regarded here as significant ap-
pointment, as Brayton Is a strong Ar
thur man for the next nomination.
Mr.. Tuomey is a native Of Ireland,
but is now and his been for some years
resident Of Sumter, in this State.
He came to Charleston with his broth
er from Ireland and went thence to Co.
lumbia, where he engaged in mercan-
tile employment. At tn, breaking out
Of the war he enlisted as a member of
the Richland Bitles, in Grcgg's Rcgi-
mcnt, and was afterwards transferred
to the Second Regiment, Of which Ker-
shaw was colonel. He served faitl tllfu'-
ly through the war and is said to lave
made an excellent soldier. 1t was
stated last night by gentleman from
Sumter that he served on the staff of
Kersllaw as aujutant, and that he al
ways did his duty. Since the war Mr..
Tuomcy has been engaged in farming
and merchandising at Sumter. He
owes his appointment probably to the
influence OF collector Johnston, OF
whom he is a close friend. 1t is said
by one who claims to know him that
he is universally spoken Of as an hon
est and reputable citizen, and one of
tn; very few Republic tns in the State
against whose character nothing can
be said.

POST OFFICE Robbery.

On Tuesday night Of this week,
some unknown person entered the
Post Office, after the arrival of the
1924 T. NJ. train, aud seized up
on the mail bag Of that train. The
party entered the building through
a window in the rear of the office.
Unfortunately, the windows had no
blinds to them, and the sash were
nailed down by two ten penny nails.
BY the means OF an axe the sash
were prised up, and the nails
were broken. The thief procured
the services Of a box, which he
took from the store lot Of Nix &
Howard, in perpetrating his foul
deed. He used the box to elevate
himself, in breaking open, or by
climbing in tho window.
Entering he went to the front of
the office, and got the mail bag.
While in the office he made des-
perate attempt to break ia the mon
ey order drawer, by trying to prise
it open with the ak. 1t is natural
to believe that the thief was W. ell &C
quainted with the arrangements Of
the office, or that ne was directed
by some one else who knew them,
and who perhaps stood as a senti-
n | on the watch. The mail bag
was thrown out Of the window, and
it was pulled almost down, after
the egress of the robber. The bag
was cut open by one stroke of the
ak, it going through into the
ground. The letters and other
mail matter were taken out, and
almost all the letters were opened.
It is not known whether or not the
thief succeeded in obtaining any
money through his despicable and
ficndish act.

stitution to be pointed at with the fin
ger Of PRIDE" since it has done so
much for the moral and mental enlight-
eminent of our town and county. A
school like Prof. Moore's is certainly a
fine index Of the increased civilization
OF the 10Th century. While the me-
chanical world is making rapid strides
in the great fields of progress, we can
but gladly realize that it is but the re-
suit OF a cultivated brain.
All over our State the people are
giving their time and attention to the
education of thier children, and 80 long
as we are blessed with the high educa-
tional privileges, Of which our school
at this place, is fine sample, we should
all take courage, and feel that in as
much as the minds are being SO we'll

certainly cared for. None will deny
but what civilization invariably follow

them under the influence of Prof.
Moore and his competent assistants,
and in the course of short time you
will realize that you have something
better than gold itself. Something
not perishable with time and the rever-
fes Of misfortune, but something in
most instances that will prove as peren
nial as eternity itself.
Prof. Moore has succeeded in bnilding
up q school here, to the full satisfaction
Of our citizens. No effort has been
spared, in making his school worthy
the patronage of our people. Securing
the talent OF two highly educated la
discs to combine with that of his own,
we may safely predict an era of grand
success for the scholastic year of 1884.
Not only does the literary depart
ment. receive marked attention, but
the music Of the school has been we'll

of Miss Lille Green, we may expect

woman on tho box of n cab Is not n com
mon sight on tho streets and especially not
so when she acts as tho driver. The rattle of
a rickoty old four-whooler, drawn by half
starved steed and driven by fashionably
dressed woman, attracted tho attention Of
scores Of early risers near Washington square
and Broadway about sunrise yesterday. Tho
lady was clad in n tight-htting brown-silk
walking dress, jaunty turban with pigeon
wings and black kid gloves At her throat and
in her ears gitterod diamonds and on her left
arm danRled an alligator-skin satchel, while
in ono hand sho clutched the reins, and in
the other long whip with which she rained
blows upon tho horse.
The interior of tho cab was empty, and tho
few admirers of the unusual spectacle soon
swelled into formidable crowd. Close be-
hind the carriage was q coachman, somewhat
the worse for liquor, but running as fast as
he could. A policeman. the Jehu, and knot
of old men, took short cut down Greene
street, and at Third street camo face to face
with the woman and horse.

Let go of him." shrieked the beauty, un-
morcifuly lashing the bewildered equine.

occupant of tho box. Get inside and I'll

The man, whose name is Jerry Mcdonald,
and for twenty years acab.driver in tho city,
said he was in saloon on Sixth avenue,
waiting for q customer, when the girl left
the house, saying she was going on u racket,
and drove Off his horse.
"What is your name" inquired the police
man.
You ought to be on tho stage" facetiously
retorted the officer.
Finally the owner Of the rig managed to
get on ono corner of tho seat and there was
tussle for the reins. Tho woman had the
off line and tho man tho near one, each of
which received alternate tugs, and the horse
consequently logged along at o trot first on
one side of the street and then on the othor
Several times the vehicle came in collision
with others that lined that thoroughfare.
Mary handled the whip also and
divided tho blows between tho horse and her
companion, but the latter good naturedly
parred those directed at him. At Macdougal

took sharp turn, almost upsetting the cab

perch, recovered tho strap, and remounted,
