OF HIS INcoME-Two KNoTTY QUESTIONS
 TO DECIDE.
 WASHINGTON, April 12.-- President Cleveland has filled out bis income tax bill and will probably make his return to- morrow. h his return he has included his salary of $50, ,0t 0 as chief executive, on which the tax will be so2o, deciding to leave it to the proper officers to determine whether the payment of the per cent as- sessment will be in violation of the provi- sion of the federal constitution, which says that the compensation of the president shall not be increased nor diminished for the term for which he shall have been elected.
 As to the payment of the tax Mir. Cleve- land has until the 1st of July to do It, and as the constitutional question affecting his salary will undoubtedly have been passed upon before inst time the president will wait for the disposition of the matter. The tar if law directs that the income tax shall be paid by individuals ito the collector or deputy collector of the district in which they reside.'' It is said that MT. Cleve- land is uncertain as to whether he should claim Buzz rd Bay or New York city as his place ot residence, and that for this reason IL is not unlikely that he will send his re- turn to the deputy collector in Washing ton.

DETAILS OF A BRUTAL MURDER-HoNoRs
 FROM KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
 GREENvILLE, April 1l.--ISpecial Corre- spondence. ]-Information reached here this morning of most brutal murder com mitted last night about fourteen miles west of this place. The news came in the shape of communication from brother of the murdered mau sent to the sheriff. The bearer of the note, negro boy, stated that Shade Brown got into difficulty with George Peagler over the boundaries of a piece of land, which dispute ended in a fight in which three sons of Bob Peagier also took part, resulting in the death of Brown by beating with sticks. All parties were negroes. One of the sons was in town early this morning and collected some money due his father by one of our mer- chants for corn, but there was no suspicion at that time of anything wrong. The sheriff and chief of police have gone 10 the scene of the murder, and will doubtless arrest all parties involved in the affair.
 The session of the grand lodge Knights of Honor just held in Montgomery was very partial to Greenville in distributing the offices, E. R. Harris having been elected grand dictator, Rev. G. k. Upton grand chaplain and Gen. J. B. Stanley chairman committee on laws. Our local lodge is the third in membership in the state and is in a very fiourishing condition.

 YOUNG LADY BLINDED.
 CLARK, April 11.-ISpecial Correspond ence. l-Dr. R. D. Reynolds, one of Ozark's most prominent physicians, was stricken with what the doctors term facial paralysis, at his residence about 1 o'clock Monday evening. Several physicians were hastily summoned to the sick mans bedside who did all in their power to re- lieve him. At this writing 1t cannot be determined how the stroke will termi- nate.
 Miss Georgia Blackmau, beautiful and accomplished young lady, daughter of Mrs. Mary Blackmau, who lives about three miles from Ozark, was stricken almost totally blind last week.
 For a week or more Miss Blackman's 8 eyes had been inflamed, but nothing seri- ous was thought oft.
 On Sunday morning, however, there suddenly came over the eyes of Miss Black man a deep and dark glimmer, and almost in an hours time she was robbed of the greatest pleasure of this earth, her sight.
 She was brought to the city Sunday, where her eyes were examined by several of our physicians, who hope to restore ber sight, which we sincerely trust they may succeed ih doing.
