"A COW4RDLY ACT.

A Colored Man Named william Easter
Assaults . Five Year Old Boy and Beats
Him.
Early yesterday morning an affair occurred
at New Moorefeld, this county, that reused the
citizens to the highest pitch of indignation.
A colored man named William Easter has
been employed for some time on the farm OF
Mr.. Thomas Kennedy, as hostler. Mr.. Ken
nedy also has on his place little FIVE year
old boy, also colored, an illegitimate child,
whom Mr. Kennedy took to raise.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Kennedy and family
came to town, leaving Easter and the little
boy at home. Easter was out cleaning the
stable and the boy was playing near. The
latter probably said something which incensed
Easter, and without saying a word he picked
up a shovel aud began beating the little tel
low over the head and body. A terrible cash
wls cut in his head, his lip split, and his
shoulder and arm badly bruised. When he
was strrck on the head he fell to the ground
unconscious. Seeing what terrible work he
had done, Easter skipped out. When the
family returned home they found the boy ly-
ing insensible, and he still remains in this
condition. An affidavit was Immediately
FLED against him by Mr.. T. II. Kennedy, and
the latter, leading a posse OF men, started
in pursuit of the criminal. Finally
after a search of several hours Easter was
found in a corncrib on the farm of Mr.. Ed
Phleger. He was brought back to Moorefeld
and taken before Squire Baldwin, who bound
him over to court. Easter was then brought
here and lodged in Jail. The little boy is still
unconscious, and but little hope is enter
tanned of his recOYery.

Ed. Garrett returned from West Liberty

Ed. Garrett returned from West Liberty
Friday afternoon, having left his
brother Sam, cut at ball there Thursday
night, in no immediate danger, but still not
able to be moved. The cutting is now said
to have been done by one James Cook. a sa-
loon-keeper at West Liberty, with whom Sam
Garrett had difficulty over game OF pool
early in the evening. As stated Cook drew
revolver on Garrett when the trouble
began, and would have used it but
for the interference of Jack Whetzel. There
was also trouble about the white men who
forced their way into the hall, wanting to
dance with some of the colored dsmsels, and
one of them was knocked down by Grant
Jackson. Garrett made a statement with
view to having it used against his assaiIant
in case of his (Gsrrett's) death. Cook, who
did the cutting, was arrested Friday by the
Marshal of West Liberty, and the Mayor held
him in $500 bonds for examination on charge
OF cutting with intent to kill, Cooks father
going on his bond. Frank Miller, another of
of the white men, was arrested for carrying
concealed weapons, and on bis plea Of guilty
was fined 1880.

Particular Of the Fatal shooting of VIM.
H. Eberls, at Jacksonville, Florida
Time for Funeral Services
The family OF VIM H. Eberle, whose death
by an accidental shot, at Jacksonville, Flori-
da, LAST Sunday, has been mentioned, has
received a long letter from 9 friend
of the deceased. giving full particulars OF the
terrible occurrence, which are a. follows:
The writer of the letter is Or. F. Crabbe, Of
Palatks, Fla, who says his home is in In
dianapolis and that be is an invalid, like his
friend Eberle when he first went South. The
letter states that Sunday morning last, JAM
uary IS, Will attended church, and in
the afternoon wrote letter to his
sister and went TO the postoffce
to mril it and attend to his duties as mail
He had forgotten something and left the Of
fee for the boat, saying he would return in
. few minutes. At the boat he entered the
dining room where drunken deck hand had
just been showing a revolver, offering to sell
it. As Eberle came up the man approached
him and said, pointing the pistol: "Here,
Eberle, is the kind of a shooter you should
have" at the same time swapping it and dis
charging the fatal bullet into Eberle's right
temple. The man had, as he supposed, re-
moved all the cartridges, but as usual missed
one, which thus did its fatal work.
The boatnen all agree that
the shooting was wholly accidental
and that there was good feeling between them
selves and deceased, who was liked by all the
hands. The Sunday liquor traffic is respon-
sible for the crime, although the uninten-
tional perpetrator is chargeable with criminal
csrelessness. Eberle tried to speak once a
moment after the shot, but almost instantly
became unconscious and ceased to breathe in
about twenty minutes. He Gid not suffer for
q moment. As seen by DR.. Crabbe on Tues
day the remains appeared very natural,
half-smile resting about the lips. The rela-
tives of the deceased are members of the La
goDds q. B. church, but Will joined church
in Florida. His friend speaks of him as .
true child Of God, whom death
found ready. He was often struck
by his child-like and beautiful
trust in Gods love and Care for him. He
often spoke Of the wonderful ways and kind
ness of Providence toward him, especially
since his residence in Florida. He was a
young man Of strong faith and daily secret
prayer, never neglecting to kneel and CON-
NIT himself and loved ones to his heavenly
Fathers care. Dr. C.abbe speaks Of the fast
friendship existing between them and de-
ceased as q noble, very warm-hearted and
devoted Christian friend and brother, refer
ring especially to the last night they were to-
gsther. Will had saved nearly money enough
to send to his father for the purchase of a
horse, and anticipated the sending with pleas
ure. The remaius, in charge OF Geo. Eberle,
are now on the wsy here, and are expected
to arrive sometime to-day night or Menday
morning, in which case the funeral will be
Tuesday.

The utter recklessness OF Young America
while cossting lasts is really appalling. Re-
gardless of their own safety or that of pedes-
trisns, he takes possession Of pavements and
roadwsys on billy streets and bis peremptory
cry: ."git out of the road" greets any foot
passenger who gets in front of him. The
police wish the warning given thus publicly
that arrests will be made and coasters taken
to the station house if they are not circum-
spect and if they do not keep OF of the pave
ments. In some places it is next to impossi-
BILE for lady to pass along, such is the con-
