Blood and Vengeance.

Charles White, of Monroe Coun.
'ty, passed through here Monday
night with his eleven months old
child, fleeing from an enraged wife
and her fathers family. Mr.. White
and Miss Cook were married about
two years since at the home of her
father in Monroe County. To them
was born one child, less than q year
since. About three months ago
they separated, but we know moth
ing of the causes for this sepera-
ton. Mr.. White and stranger
whose name we do not know went
to the home of j. M. Cook, armed
and while there fred several shots
at Mrs. White and probably her
mother, infiicting a wound on the
hand Of Mrs. White. White, took
the child and left. Mr.. Cook net
being at home, the men must have
received pretty strong resistance
from the wife and her mother, to
have given any room a.. AL for .
resort 70 arms W men u two w0n,-

a rig to drive him near Knoxville.
Mr.. Cook came here Tuesday morn.
ing in pursuit of White, he offers
fifty dollars reward for the capture
of White and the child. Cook gives
evidence of being deter mined
man 1t is said by our informant
that White has been regarded as
peacable hard working man, with.
out bad habits, and also that the
Cook family is very respectable
family. Altogether it SC ems to be
sad case, one that is difficult to
see the results.

and endeared the soldier to US as
never before. 1t was day of
much interest to all. Different ex-
plantations of that fated vessel are
given, but it was made apparent
by what these men saw and heard
that the officers of the boat had
been imbibing too freely, and reck-
lessly blew out the water from the
boilers in order to generate more
steam, so that as the cold water
came in contact with the hot flues
