CAIRO, ILL, May 10.
An exceedingly mysterious affail
took place here last Friday night which
would indicate a foul murder, within the
sight I-. f.fvnu ef
the victim, who was 600 timid, according
to his own version of the affair, to inter-
fere. A man named A. j. Spencer, of
Morrow, o., arrived in town few days
ago, and having friend, w. S. Stone, in
the employ of Lancaster & Rice in this
city, was induced to remain few days
in hopes of securing a situation. He had
about $40 in cash, and in the effort to
spend it visited what is known
as s'Clark's Block,' near the
stone depot on the Ohio
levee, which is inhabited by the lowest
scum of creation, negroes and whites
mixing with disgusting intimacy. At this
place he became intimate with some of
the female inmates, and found therein
happy place to gamble away his small
capital. His friend Stone resided ada
cent to the block, and states that this
morningIhe was awakened by a hard scuffle
on the Sidewalk, mixed with curses and
an occasional thud, which indicated mur
derous blows with some heavy weapon.
Looking from the window he saw Spen-
Ger engaged in combat with
four persons, two negroes and two
whites, and at the time appeared to be
successfully defending himself, rapidly
knocking his assailants down with his
fist, but he was finally overpowered by
blow over the head with a club, which
laid him senseless. Stone in the window
easily overheard the conversation which
followed, one of the party saying he had
"given him deadener, and that he must
be removed at once" The PROSTATE man
was then lifted on the shoulders of the
four men, carried down over the levee
beyond lumber and stave pile, and were
lost to view. This was the last seen Of
Spencer, although thorough search has
been made. The victim was turner by
trade, and left full set Of tools with
Stone for safe keeping.

the body was sent to Virginia on Satur-
day. To-day information was received

TROUBLE BREWING.

Prospects of Trouble in Georgia Arising
from the Supplanting of Free White Labor
in the Rising Fawn Furnace by Force of
Negro Convicts-Senator Brown the
Lessee.
CARTERSvILLE, GA, May 10.
Reports of trouble come from Rising
Fawn Furnace, owned largely by Senator
Brown, who is discharging free white
laborers and filling their places with
negro convicts. When Captain w. d.
Grant recently sold out his lease of a
portion of the convicts Senator
Brown was one of the purchasers
and received about seventy-fve
of the convicts. Having already,
under his former lease, sufficient force
Of convicts at the Dad coal mines, he
proposed to employ his new gang of con-
victs at Rising Fawn Furnace, in lieu of
free labor, upon which he had heretofore
depended. A day or two ago notices were
posted at the iron-works to the effect
that in few days the free laborers would
be relieved from employment and their
places supplied by conyicts. To this brief
and peremptory notification the free labor
ers have taken bitter exceptions and are in
a state of excited discomfort. Some of
them are much enraged, and are said to
be counseling resistance by force to the
work of supplanting them with felons.
They affirm that this discharge comes up
on them unprepared, and subjects them
selves and their families to enforced idle
ness and hardships at very critical sea-
son of the year. They have sent a protest
to Senator Brown, detailing their griev-
apce, and are awaiting his reply. The
men have been informed that if they take
any steps at resistance the whole power
of the State will be used against them.
This but enrages them the more.
