ABsCONDs FROM AMERICUs.
Assistant Postmaster jackson Turns
up Missing.

mp Missing.
AMERICUs, GA, Oct. 4.-Quite sensa-
tion was produced upon our streets to-day
by the announcement that W. r. Jackson,
assistant Postmaster, had abscOnded.
The NEWS correspondent upon hearing
the report al once went to the post office
and obtained the facts OF the case from
j. @. Mathews, who has charge Of the
office in the absence OF Postmaster Black.
For some time Mr.. Jacksons's personal
habits have prevented at times the faith
full performance of his official duties.
Last Thursday Maj. Black discharged him.
He took no otfense, and was to make up the
night mail as his last official act. The
next day Mr.. Mathews found in the Office
post office order on Mobile for 500
properly filled out with Maj. Blacks name
signed, ali in JacksOn's handwriting.
This led to an investigation. 1t was
found that fifty orders mad been torn from
the back Of the order book and fifty postal
notes were also missing.
THE FLIGHT DISCOVERED.
Further Investigation slowed that Mr..
Jackson was not in the city. Mai. Black
at once began to use the wires to torestall
the payment.of the fraudulent orders and
- w 'CS't'O " - ooShouu ailc9As Op
to II O'Clock to-day he had not been appre-
hended, but it had been learned that his
brother, James Jackson, had collected
$500 in Troy, Eia., and letters OF advice
had been received in Mobile TO pay $500 to
Win A. Jackson, who had not yet called
for the money. Maj. Black has gone TO
Troy TO secure the arrest of Jackson's
brother.
W. r. Jackson was reared in this
city and is we'll connected, and though
somewhat dissipated at times, has here
tofore borne an unimpeachable reputa-
ton for honesty.

Maine Crops.

Secretary M. n. Rich of the Portland
Board of Trade has returned froma tour
through some of the farming districts Of
Maine. With regard to the condition of
crops, he says
"Throuehout Cumberland and in the m aior
part OF Oxford county, the hay crop has been
secured, generally in good condition. The
effect of the intervening rains, this season,
has been most beneficial one, and the crop
that at one time promised to he light is up to
the average, both in this section and through
out the State. All the crops in the western
counties look well. Potatoes got good start
in the cool weather of the earlier part of
July and were out of the way of the bugs,
which made their appearance later. This
year the Maine farmers are troubled less
with the potato bug then in years previous.
Corn looks well, especially the sweet, Of
which there seems to be considerable pl nted
IN the packing districts. Oats are doing
finely, well stocked and full headed. Other
grains are promising, and the acreage seeded
appears to be even larger than in years past
Beans have rusted some. | think more acres
are planted in Cumberland county than ever
before. Fruit looks very well, and, though
an of year, there is quite showing in apple
orchards.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Halt a Hundred Lives saved.


New YORK, Aug. l.
A startling discovery was made by the po-
lice this morning. The five-story tenement
at 26 Canal street was found to be mined and
fixed in the most thorough manner with pow
der trains and fuze and shavings soaked in
alcohol for a nocturnal confagration that
would have imperilled half hundred human
lives. The plot miscarried by accident. he
proprietor of barbar's saloon on the first
floor, an Italian by the name of Frank Sciac
ca, has fed, and is hunted nv the police as
the protector of the crime. 1t is
supposed that his object was to
secure heavy insurance on his property.
When the police broke in his door, they found
a mouldering fire where towels soaked in
alcohol were hanging all over the place. If
kerosene had been used instead of alcohol,
which evaporsted, nothing could have saved
the building. The officer decended to the
cellar and found traces of flesh powder, such
as is used by fireworks manufactures. They
led to a gas meter directly over which a hole
had been bored in the leaden pipe with a
corkscrew. The gas had poured out all
night and the cellar was full of it. Any
sparks from above could have hastened the
destruction of the house by an explosion.
The barber had broken into the cellar to
carry out his plans.

good for me- isn't it? Then he said that the
man threw chips, sand and stones at me and
made an image out of him and laid him out
for it. A large piece of railroad iron fifteen
inches long and of an inch in diameter was
foundlnesr the place where the murder was
committed and it ia thought by the officers
that this is what Msloney used to kill Con-
ners with. The place where the mnrder was
committed is one mile west of Atkinson
Depot, n. H., and about 100 rods from the
line. The crime being committed in the

ing to go with the officers without papers
from the Governor. He stated that he had
formerly lived at Dover, n. H., where his
wife is living. but left her five months ago
and has been on the tramp ever since. The
officers think the man is insane as he delights
in talking of blood and killing men.
