CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 20.-A special
from Fredericksburg states that Michael
McCracker was shot and instantly killed
this evening by his son Thomas. The
father was mailing 9 sigo on his store
when quarrel took place. The son
procured a shot gun and discharged both
barrels, the loads taking effect in his
fathers right side. Thomas vas arrested
and placed in Jail.
BLUFFToN, Ala, Feb. ia hand-to-
hand conflict occurred last night between
Ford johnson and D. Good. Good cut
Johnson's left eye out with hatchet
and cut into the bones of his face several
times. johnson cut Goods throat with
a knife. Both will die. They were
alone and drunk at the time of the terri
bic duel.
Clinton, Mo-, Feb. 17.-Mrs. M.
Trollinger of Leesville died yesterday
from fright. She was sitting in a wagon
watching her son cut down tree. The
tree fell toward the wagon, and the boy
called to his mother to get out of the
way. She seemed unable to move. The
tree crashed down just behind the wagon
without touching Mrs. Trollipger, but
she fell over dead. Phyaieians examined
the body and say they found no sign of
the woman having been hit. They
assign the cause to paralysis of the
heart.
LANCASTER, Pa, February 20.-Mar--
tin Rupp, of Barreville, has brought his
aelf:imposed fast to close after nineteen
days of abstinence from food. Rupp be-
lieved that his fast vas the only way to
heal rupture among the members of the
Barreville Church, Of which he was one,
and he threatened to hold out until his
brethren had arrived at compromise.
This is now on fair way to be reached,
and Rupp believes that the dove of peace
was wooed by his selfimposed suffering.

Taking In tile Unsuspecting.

SpARTASBURG, S. c., February 21.-
The "fake" is abroad in South Carolina,
and her good people receive the "faikir'
with open arms. Unless all signs fail,
there is another swindle brewing, which
bids fair to rival the late "gold bar" bus.
mess in magnitude. This time it is a
whole County which has been gulled.
It may not be, but 1t looks that way just
at present. Some two weeks ago four
gentlemen appeared in this city, calling
themselves Fletcher & Co., manufactur-
ers and patentees of the champion COM
bination slat and wire fence. They
wanted to establish branch house here,
in pursuance of which idea they sold out
and perfected arrangements with Mr..
Robert Miller, the manager Of the Spar
tanburg Construction Company. To Mr..
Miller, Fletcher & Co., sold for S125 the
right to make their fence, taking for
payment his note and contract, the
note to be paid in six months, and the
contract stating that no payment should
be made except from profits arising from
the sale of fencing. It was likewise un-
derstood that Fletcher & Go. should
establish agencies for the sale Of the
materials manufactured by Miller in
every township of the County. These
agents also gave notes with contracts like
the one with Mr.. Miller. Thus far,
everything went as merry as marriage
bell, and the agents thought they had a
"snap" by which they would acquire
great possession hands over 6st.
This morning some developments have
Gene to light which bid fair to knock
their bright anticipations into a cooked
hat. 1t seems, after securing the notes
of men in every township, some of whom
we're very prominent citizens, Fletcher
struck out the enacting clause of the
notes, by detaching from them the con.
tracts which recited that payment was
to be made from the profits from the
agent. Having thus provided himself
with a bundle of negotiable paper,
Fletcher went to the National and the
Merchants and Farmers banks and sold
some of the notes. The notes were on
good men, and the banks were anxious
to get their paper. So they bought
freely at reasonable discount. The
rest of the notes Fletcher sold to promi-
nent merchants in the city, Of whom was
Mr.. A. g. Floyd, who is we'll known
through the County. When all his
arrangements had been perfected Fletch.
er and company skipped the town and
have not been heard from since. The
transaction begins to have an ugly as.
pect, and all parties want Fletcher in
pretty much the same way in which the
Texan wanted his gun.
When Fletcher left here he said be
was going to Knoxville, Tenn, but
whether be did 30 or not is another
matter. 1t is yet unknown how much he
has pulled the city and County for, but
$1,000 is a conservative estimate, and
$4,000 is not exorbitant. The matter is
being kept quiet, but is gradually leaking
out. The parties who are the victims OF
the fake are lying low and saying moth.
ing, but they are presumed to be doing
lots of red.hot thinking. No steps have
been taken to pursue Fletcher, and no
one knows whether any will be taken

Down in the railroad yards in the

The growth Of our cities and towns,
4 says the Atlanta Constitution, is bad
feature. They are steadily absorbing the
rural population, and in every section of
1.-The country people are drifting to the
towns, and leaving their farms in incom-
petent hands. What is the results? The
situation in New York is substantially
the situation in every large city. Here
I are the figures: Of carpenters 45,O 900 are
idle. There are oat of work Is, 900 la.
borers, 10000 longshoremen, 5000 rail-
road men, 1000 printers, 500 telegraph
operators, 1000 men connected with the
tobacco industry, 5000 paper box makers,
& hosts of clerks and armies of women, say
100000 in all. Every day the ranks of
1.-THE unemployed in the city receive acces-
Sssions from the country. The situation

: worse. Now, there is living for all
these people, but it is not In the congest.

the farms are ready to utilize all the la.
Dor that can be obtained. The south has

1abut We are beginning to feel 1t. Scatter,
is the word, and it should be passed all
