me- coming from the house of John Maynor, a
constable, who had summoned his eldest daugh-
ter, and as soon as she entered the room he
the same time pouring forth q torrent of invec-
tives and Oaths. The cause for this was the
avowed intention of the daughter to leave the
house. The excited people, supposing a murder
had been committed, burst open the door where
the girl was found PROSTATE on the floor, in
sensible from wounds caused by blows inflicted
by her father with a walking cane. The cloth

in the new Jail, which stands across the track
in full view of his house. DIR. Thomas was

in the girl She was unconscious for six hours.
In the preliminary trial which followed it was
shown that for months previous to the assault
the father had been guilty of sexual intercourse
with his daughters, Adelia, aged eighteen, and
Laura, aged fourteen.
When the facts were made known business
Of all kinds was suspended in town, and it
seemed that the entire population and the
country traders gathered in one vast thrOng
around the Jail, and cries of "Lynch him."

From the New York Mail and Express.
John Mccullough, the tragedian, wandered
about the Sturtevant house In an aimleSs wav
Tuesday morning. II was evident 60 the most
casual observer that he did not know what lie

him. The clerk had had trouble with him sun

Mr. Horace Leland said: I'VE certainly will
do something very soon. He is not capable of

peal to Capt. Williams. John Is a friend of ours
but we can stand every thing"
Captain Connor, OF the 1T. James hotel Who
has been Mr.. McCulloughs friend and business
partner for years, says that he will not take
the nrst step and this seems TO be the trouble
with every body. Captain Connor SAYS he ought
TO he put in an asylum. but the only one who
can do that is his wife. IL, however, be conn.,

Greek. To his room in the tower the three 81
men made their way. One carried a long hemp
rope, the others bore a horse-pistol and an axe
When they reached the professors door they
took council 1t was decided that the only
pacific way they could get their enemy to come
out from his room to sing. They began
with I'VE will hang jeff Davis" but soon
drifted into 1--WE will bathe Prof. Tarbell i'm the
sewer" The estudent bearing the axe cried to
the terrified professor to come out and take his
ducking like man. Then the student struck
the door a heavy blow with the axe. Some
one inside was heard to strike match, and
with redoubed efforts Prof. Tarbel's visitors
laid the axe upon the door, but it withstood
their efforts, and after knocking out a panel
and finding the key removed from the inside of
the lock they retrsated. The college faculty

VOORHEES, DRAWING TEARS FROM SPECTATORS,
JUDGE AND JURY IN THE JOHNSON TRIAL.
Chattanooga, Tenn, special of June Odd
says: The speech OF Senator Voorhees, in the
johnson trial to-day was the most remarkable
on record in this section. He began early this
morning and finished at leo o'clock, having
spoken about four hours. His defense of John
son Is regarded as simply wonderful. He pre-
sented every point with great cearness and
force, going carefully over the details of the
evidence. In making his appeal to the jury the
crowd was still as death except when disturbed
by the sobs OF some of the auditors. The jurors
broke down and wept like children, while the
judge allowed large tears TO trckle down his
cheeks. The scene was the most touching ever
witnessed in this county. Mr.. Robinson spoke
in the afternoon, and will probably consume
the half of tomorrow. lie is making "A vigor-
ons effort, but it is the general opinion that he
will not be able TO undermine Voorhees, mas
