Abbeville, Ga, Sept "A brutal MUIR
der was committed here last night.
Missile jackson, a notorious negress,
robbed Albert Evans while in her room.
AS soon as Evans discovered that his
pocketbook was gone he charged the wo-
man with the theft and followed her into
the street and demanded the return of
his money, which she refused 10 give up
Becoming eXasperated, Evans drew his
knife and literally cut her to pieces. AS
soon as Evans drew the knife
the woman began TO plead pite-
ously for her life and offered to re-
turn the money. The infuriated
man dealt blow after blow, and only de-
sisted when the cries of the unfortunate
wretch attracted attention, when he fed
under cover Of the darkness.
the woman ran TO a house near by and
fell dead on the threshold of the room.
One of the wounds was between the
shoulder blades, six inches long and very
deep, another was under the left nipple

NEEDS A ROPE BADLY.
A Murderer in North Carolina Plays
the Insanity Dodge.

the Insanity Dodge.
Columbia, s. C., Sept. "A white man
named B. Z. Gray, alias Hoke L. Sc
crest, was released to-day from the peni-
Tertiary here, having served a two years
sentence for assault and battery with in
tent to kill. Immediately upon leaving
the penitentiary he was arrested by an
officer from North Carolina who had
requisition papers for him, on a charge of
murder, and thereon hangs tale.
Twelve years ago Grey married a young
woman IN Union, :. c., taking her i'm
mediately to North Carolina, where
within twelve hours after the marriage
ceremony, he took her in the woods and
murdered her, burying her in the woods.
The murder was discovered and he was
arrested and found guilty, but playing the
insanity dodge, was sent to an asylum.
Here he remained for some time, but fin
ally made his escape, and coming to
South Carolina, he committed larceny
and was sent to the penitentiary for two
years. He served his sentence
and was sent TO North Carolina,
where he was again tried for the previous
murder, but again only sent to the
asylum. Escaping again, he went to
Spartanburg, S. c., where he married a
woman and had several children. He
treated them so badly that he was sent
to the penitentiary for two years for as
sault and battery with intent TO kill,
which sentence he has just served. He
is supposed also to have murdered his
own daughter by previous marriage.
He was taken back to North Carolina and
will be tried again.
The officials in the penitentiary say
that he has shown no signs of insanity
since he has been here until arrested by
the North Carolina officer to-day, except
once when he was recognized by a gentle
man from North Carolina who was visit
ting the penitentiary some time ago.

Trade at Manchester.

Manchester, Sept. 2.-During the week
a fair business was done for India and
China, makers having more orders than
for some time. Prices, however, were
still near the lowest point. especially for
low China cloths and best shirtings.
The home trade showed i'm
prOvement with the fine weather,
new orders being given with
greater freedom. Moderate orders were
taken for South America ana Egypt.
Yarns dragged in spite of the lessened
production. Home buyers continued their
hand-tO-mouth policy, and of export bun
dies only Indian fortics sold fairly well
at rather better limits. Prices were
nominally unchanged throughout.
