LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 2l.-Park
Wilmington. a well-known planter of
Louisiana, near the Arkansas line. was
wantonly murdered by a negro by the
name Of Frazier this morning IN Columbia
county, Ark. Wilmington was known
as an aggressive man who never failed to
resent an injury or an insult, and conse
auentlY he had many enemies in his par
lsh, No direct cause can be found for
the crime, and it is the general suppose
ton where the murder was committed
that the negro was hired. Park Whit
tington and wife were coming over into
Columbia county, this state, to church, as
was their custom on Sundays when the
weather permitted. As their buggy
neared a house occupied by Frazier, the
negro stepped into the road to the right
of the team, and before the unfortunate
nan knew OF the impending danger.
fired two volleys from IA shotgun into the
body OF Mr. Wilmington. The pOOr
man fell from his buggy and the distracted
wife endeavored to lit her murdered hus-
band and carry HIM to town, but the
black brute forbade her and threatened
to brain her with an Y unless she drove
of, and at once. When news Of the as
sassination reached the settlement a large
posse was organized, blood hounds were
procured and prompt chase was given,
but up to 9 o o'clock tonight no further de
tails have been received.

this afternoon that when he reached
Denver he sent for a reporter, and asked
for a reliable man. He told this man
that he was in favor of maintaining the
Western Traffic Association, and the
thought of disrupting it had never en-
tered his head. The reporter went away
and actually reversed what he had said.
He never made any OF the alleged state
ments about the Rock Island road OF

he considered the Western Traffic Asso-

WAYNEsBoRo, Ga, April 2l.-The ne
groes of Wayncsboro are holding pro
tracted meetings and are in the midst of
an exciting revival. The Haven Metho-
dist church and the Thomas Grove Bap-
fist church are vieing with each other,
and the excitement is at white heat. The
services are continued all night, and the
parties who have witnessed them report
strange developments. Suddenly a SISTER
will leap from her seat, and springing into
the air, raise a shout of tremendous pro
portions. She will then fall heavily TO
the floor, and alter going through the
most surprising contortions OF body will
pass off intO'a trance. While in this
trance state her limbs become as stiff as a
poker, and her flesh is so cold as scarcely
to Indicate any animal heat. During the
religious performances, before the trance
sets IN, these sisters in their terrific move
ments are utterly regardless of the cOnse-
quences to themselves. their near neigh
bors, or TO the pew OF the church. Some
times it takes several OF the brethren to
hold them down. The most iemonstra-
tive sisters are known 70 the congreVa-
tons, and when one of this number gives
out the holy shout the congregation is
prepared for what may follow, and the
most muscular brethren at once rush for
this sister, and are forced to use every ex-
ertiOn to make the performance devoid of
damage to herself aud the property of the
church. The trance of one Of the young
converts, who had been known as a very
hard case, continued over two days and
nights. All efforts to arouse her were tn
tile, but when she came TO she was full Of
the Holy Ghost. The scenes in the meet
ing tonight resemblcd the worst orgies
ever seen in an insane asylum.

The oriental notion that no one can in
suit so violently as q woman, because no
one has such a tart tongue, is illustrated
by an anecdote translated from an Arabic
author:
II stood on a road, converting with a
friend, said a learned man, when a
woman, halting, gazed at me steadfastly.
When her staring had passed all bounds, l
told my slave to ask the woman what she
was listening to. He came back, and re-
ported that the woman had said:
my eyes had committed "A great sin. 1
intended to inhict a punishment upon
them, and l could devise none worse than
looking at that hideous face "-Youth's

Tho Files Will Case.

Judge Peabody has made decision in the
case Of the will Of Martha A. Files, late OF
White Rock, reported last week. 1t will be
remembered that the two wills were pre-
sented for probate, the earlier of which was
In favor Of nephew of the deceased, and
the later In favor of brother. The later
will was objected to on the ground that one
of the attestants, being the husband of
legatee, was not legally competent. This
was the objection brought forward at the
hearing last week, although 1t was under
stood that other evidence was held in reserve
that would have been offered had 1t been
necessary. The case was considered i'm
portant. as the precise legal point Involved
had never been passed upon directly in the
courts of Maine.
Judge Peabody says in his decree that lit
being made fully to appear that Harvey w.
Murcb, one Of the three subscribing wit
nesses to said instrument, is not competent
witness thereto. and 1t not being proved that
the instrument presented with said petition
is the last will and testament of said de-
ceased, and was legally executed. it is there
fore decreed that said instrument be not ap-
proved and allowed as the last will and
testament Of the deceased"
The first will, on the contrary is approved
and allowed. This settles the case unless
an appeal is made to the Supreme Court.
