A PROMISING ARTIsT.-Mr. B. M.
Clinedinst. Jr., formerly resident of this
city, has been spending several years abroad
in perfecting his art studies. In speak
ing of his work, the Baltimore Sam says
Three paintings by Mr.. Benz. M. Cline
dinst, young Baltimore artist, who has
been studying IN Paris for the past four
years, have just arrived in this city, and
are now on exhibition at the art galleries
of Myers and Heidan, on North Charles
street. Mr.. Clinedinst is a son of Mr..
b. M. CllnedlnSt, a well known Baltimore
photographer. Hestudied here under Prof.
Hugh Newell, and in Paris under the
eminent artists, Cabanel and Bonnet. The
largest of the three pictures shows decided
power, and affords the promise of bright
future for the artist. In a vegetable gar
den in the rear of row of houses, appar-
emily in a French village, boy and girl
are standing, the boys head and shoulders
showing from behind the erect and vigor-
ously painted figure of the girl. The lat
ter has been washing some colored hand
kerchiefs, which she has spread upon the
ground. She is in the act of stretching
another handkerchief just from the wash,
and IS pretending to be absorbed in her
task. The boy, with one hand grasping a
hoe, is presenting a rose in the other.
The girl declines to notice him, but is
evidently pleased by the compliment. The
story may be read at glance from the
picture. The figures are both very pleas
ing and thoroughly natural, and in draw
ing and color the picture gives evidence
OF exceptional technical skill as we'll as
originality Of treatment. The other pict-
nres are small landscapes The Close OF
an Autumnal Days and "A Sunny Day in
Normandy both of which tend to con-
firm the favorable impression made by the
larger work. Mr.. Clinedinst expects to
remain in Europe another year, and Will
then return to the United States.

A Distressing Occurrence.

In Baltimore, last Thursday, Mr.. Thos.
Bullitt Harrison, committed suicide at
the house of his cousin. DR.. VIM. G. Har-
rison. 1t was about noon and he was in
the dining room alone. A servant girl en-
tered, but did not notice Mr.. Harrison,
until he called to her saying: Don't be
afraid | won't hurt YOU" Looking
around She saw him sitting on the floor
before the open CRATE. He had his right
hand up to his throat, which was bleeding
profusely. The girl ran out and gave the
alarm and medical aid was summoned.
But the wound was fatal. 1t was terri

Harrison were found razor and all open

Dynamite INV aynesboro.

I4astsSatnrday morning about six o. CLOCK,
three distinct reports following each other
in quick succession, were heard at the
house of Henry Rives, colored, in Waynes-
boro. The concussion displaced several
logs of the building. shook the structure
to its foundation, SCATTERING windows,
breaking crockery, mirrors and furniture.
lOoSening plastering. and creating con-
sternation among the occupants From
the nature of the explosion, it was at
once concluded that dynamite had been
the agent employed and suspicion was d.
rected to two colored men, Geo. Tyree and
Jno. Morris. who were employed in the
mines near by, and had acces to dynamite.
A pref minary trial was held on Monday,
Commonwealth Attorney White conduct
ing the prosecution. From the evidence
it appeared That Henry Riyes had rented
a room in his house to two colored girls,
named Rena Foster and Lizzie Shepard.
They proved to be persons of bad char
acters, their alleged paramouTs being the
two men arrested, Tyree and Morris.
When RiveS found that his tenants were
likely to bring his house into i'll repute, he
notified them to yacate. They protested
but Rives insisted on eiecting them. In
consequence Of this, the two men visited
Rives' house Friday night, and quarrel
occurred, at the end of which Tyree and
Morris left in a bad humer, uttering sun
dry threats against Rives. The next morn
ing the explosion occurred. Tyree and
Morris have been lodged in jail.
