were brought out on Friday, many were
the fears expressed that they would give
out before making the rounds. But
when they arrived at the old Jamestown
Cemetery, Prof. Kinnison, the Supt., a

other alarming things tonight on Main
Street, near Sternberger Block. Marshal
Owens took charge of her, and sent Off

brickbats and cinders. They also went
over to the old Mrs. Griffiths den, across
the street, and wrecked things generally.
The gentle Griffiths and her girls had

Church this evening. The horses do not
scare at the steam, or the sound of the
whistle. We met Gilbert Lackey on
he street this evening and informed him
hat he had been found murdered-but
le denied it. We guess that the Com

he corporation are refused admittance
because the Jail is full. Rev. d. Fl.
Vhetsel is in town to-day looking for
