RTJRNED AT THE STAKE.

On Friday week, at Gainestown, Clark
county, Ala, a young lady named Carrie
Boyer, seventeen years old, the daughter Of
an ex-Sergeant in the U. S. Army, was way
laid while on her way home from neigh
boris. She was found dying with bullet
hole in the back of her neck, and with her
skull crushed in. A broken gunstock with
blood upon it, was found lying in the road.
The gunstock was recognized as belonging
to Alexander Reid, negro living near at
hand. The barrel of the broken gun was
found in his house. 1t had blood and hair
upon it, Reid fled when the avengers came
adjoining counties, both whites and blacks,
organized hunt for the murderer. The
river banks had been secured and every
avenue of escape cut off. Two negroes cap
tured him at the county line. When cap
tured, a guard was placed over Reid, who
was placed in chains and marched to Gaines
town.
People along the road demanded that
Reid should b. lynched, but the guard re-
piled that he must be taken to the scene of
the crime. The guard, then numbering
two hundred men, reached GainestoWn with
the prisoner at o'clock Sunday morning.
The prisoner maintained sullen silence Sun
day, when he confessed his guilt. Then
young lady, but that his gun went off acci-
dentally and wounded her. Seeing that he
was in for anyhow, he beat her brains out
with the stock of the gnn. The crime, it
will be remembered, was one of great fe-
rocity. Reid assaulted the young lady
while she was walking home after having
visited friend near Gainestown. He con-
cealed himself with his gun by the road
side and sprang on the young lady as she
passed through strip of woods. She re-
sisted and was too strong for him to carry
out his purpose. He then struck her with
his fist and gun. The brave girl fought
him until he shot her and murdered her
by striking her repeatedly after she fell.
Gainestown it was evident that but short
shrift would be allowed him. About 2
O'Clock in the afternoon a crowd of five hun
dred persons, white and black, took the
prisoner out on the road near the spot where
the murder had been committed and chain
ed him to tree. Blacks and whites piled
lightwood about the miserable criminal,
and when the pile was breast high one
among them applied the torch.
AS the flames shot upward the negro gave
shrieks of agony. The crowd seeing the
smoke and flames enveloping him, did not
wish him to die so easily. They scattered
the brands and the man was seen writhing
in agony. Once more pile Of lightWood
was constructed and the flames sprang up
briskly, scorching the negro terribly. Be-
fore they became fatal, however, they were
again subdued, and again the doomed
wretch was seen cOnvulsed in terror and
pain. The third time the pile was lighted
it was allowed to do its work, and the body
of Reid was completely reduced to ashes.
The crowd then DISPERSED to their homes.
This is the second incident of the kind
in the same place. About seven years ago
a negro preacher who murdered an old lady
and a little boy and assaulted young girl
was in q similar manner tied to the stake

RAILROAD RUMORs.-The Newton, n.
c., Enterprise of last week says:
We have heard two rumors this week with
regard to the Chester & Lenoir Railroad
which we give for what they are worth, and
await future developments. First that the
passenger traffic is so large that another
will be put on the road early in January,
for passengers alone; second, that in a very
short time, the road, from Newton up,
will pass into the hands of the Western
Road, making Newton the terminus of the
Chester and Lenoir. The third rail between
Newton and Hickory will then be taken
up, and the road from Hickory to Lenoir
changed to broad gauge.

A BRAVE LAD.-On Sunday morning
last a desperate attempt was made to burn
the town of Tarentum, Pa. Several build
ings were destroyed. The villains had
taken every precaution to make the destruc-
tion sure. They had cut the ropes ofthe two
alarm bells, broken the principal pumps in
the village and carried off the fire buckets
and tubs. The cries of fire aroused lad
named William Dibbell, an employee of a
large planning MILL upon which was bell.

hammer. This awakened the entire COM
munity, who turned out en- mdsse and soon
eXtinguished the flames About two weeks
ago there was an attempt made to burn the
village down.

THECAsE OF FITZ JOHN PORTER.-The
friends of Fitz John Porter in the two
Houses expect to see the bill for his relief
passed by Congress and signed by the
President before the 1st of March. fright
ing Joe" Wheeler, of Alabama, who intro
duced the Fitz John Porter Bill on Monday,
said the other day: "The bill will 60
through by tremendous majority. l have
received a late number of Republican pa
pers containing editorials in favor of the
passage of that bill, and some of these edi-
torialS are written in the very strongest
language; for instance one of them says
that Fitz John Porter's honor is no longer
really in the hands of Congress; that the
people have passed upon the question and
demand his restoration to the rank which
belongs to him." Senator Logan will, OF
course exert his influence as Chairman of
the Committee on Military Affairs to re-
tard the bill in the Senate, but Senator Sew
ell thinks it cannot be delayed long. If
Logan should try to hold the bill in COM
mittee, its friends in the Senate could car
ry a motion to discharge the committee
from its further consideration, and so bring
it out The friends of the bill do not an.
ticipate veto this time. They understand
the position taken byPresident Arthur and
Attorney General Brewster in regard to the
former Fitz John Porter bin will not be
taken by President Cleveland and Attor-
ney General Garland. They expect to see
the Presidents signature affixed to the bill
promptly upon its passage.

THE SERIOUS CHARGE BY LITTLE ELLEN HER.
BERT AGAINST HENRY CRUMwELI.
A telegram from Bordcntown, n. j., Novem-
ber 8, says: This afternoon Henry Crumwell, an
ebOny-cOlOred negro. about 40 years of age,
was committed to the Jail at Mount Holly to
answer the charge of rape preferred by Ellen ID.
Hert, 4 12-yehr-Old domestic in the employ OF
Capt Geo. IL. Raymond. Crumwell was en-
ployed by DIR. Young. whose residence adjoins
that OF Capt. RaymOnd's, and the two employees
often met, although the girl took no notice Of
the negro. According to the testimony of the
little girl given at the arraignmento of Crumwell
to-day she had occasion TO pass the barn of DIR.
Young one day about three weeks ago. The
negro was working near the barn. the doors Of
which were open. He approached her as she
advanced and as he neared her pushed her
into the barn. He then locked the doors and
assaulted her. She also testified that Crumwell
had assaulted her before and that she was afraid
To tell he- parents, because the negro threatened
To Kill her if she did So When Ellen's father
learned OF the assault upon his daughter he
sought the negro and would undoubtedly have
Killed him, but his friends induced him to let
the law take Its course. Ellen is very intelli-
gent and quite pretty. Her mother is dead,
but her father and stepmOther are very respec-
table residents of Thornton, pretty little ham,
let about a mile distant from this city. The IC-
year-old daughter of Mr.. Clarence Raymond in
formed that gentleman that CrumweH also
made insulting remarks TO her. Upon learning
this Mr.. Raymond questioned a number OF
other girls and in that way secured the cOnfes-

WICKED GREAT BRITAIN.
A Startling Exhibit Of Crime. Depray-
ify and immortality.

singular and significant exhibit oil the
march of immortality in the United hingoom Oh
Great Britain is made in a recent NUMBER OF
the Pan Nal Gazette by means of series OF
diagrams, In which the record OF twenty Qua
years is placed before the eye in one glance and
1t is not a record which can be contemplated by
churchmen or philanthropists without sadness.
Since 1861 the apprehensions for drunkenness.
and on charges of "drunk and disorderiy,
which were reported in that year at e2,l96, In
England and Wales. have steadily increased un-
til In 1884 they numbered 19S.2.4- Had the
increase opiy kept pace with the growth OF the
population the figures for 1884 should have
been about 10000, so that the rapid stride
made by this kind of offenses against law and
decency is palpably due to a lowering of the
moral character ofthe community. AS bearing
on the same general subject, and as presenting
an astounding condition of affairs, the figures
of the nations drink bill are even more signifi-
can't. In 1861 the citizens of the United King
dom paid for drinks nearly eos, 900, 900. or
S475.O0O.OOO. They should have paid in 1876,
according to the ratio of the Increase of popula-
ton, about f101 ,OOO. 900, but they did paw the
astonishing sum OF nearly f14S, 100000. Some
hope tor the temperance people may be gath
cred from the fact thai @ the heb pill since 1s16 has
will be regarded as cold comfort when il is con-
sidered that the natural increase according to
population should nave made the sum paid for
liquors in that year but about f1O7 OOO, 900.
The record of the divorce courts shows also
the steady demoraliZ tion of her majesty's sub
were filed in England and Wales. In 1884 the
number had risen to 703 though the normal
increase, according to population, should have
brought 1t up to only $40. With the growth of
immortality the passion for self-destruction has
also grown naturally, and while but 1888
attempts at suicide, successful and unsuccess-
ful, were reported in 1861, the number had
swollen to 3,212 in 1884. The census of idiots.
lunatics and persons of unsound mind showed
1855 such unfortunates in 1888, against
39,647 in 1851.
In crimes of a repulsive nature. which show
their perpetrators to be wholly devoid of moral
principle, the increase in the last twenty years
especially In London and the larger cities, has
been startling In the extreme, but il Is not ne
sessary to specify these classes of offenses more
particularly. The drunkenness, pauperism and
idiocy to be found in the United Kingdom are
indications that the morality of the people Is
declining rapidly. The church and the philan-
thropist may wisely ask themselves whether it
Is not expedient to begin mission work at home
and spend some of the money which is now
used for Christianzing the heathen in REFORM
ing the outcasts of society who pass under their
own eyes daily.
