An Unfortunate Affair.

Willie Beckham, aged sixteen or sew
enteen wears, son of DR.. H G. Beck
ham. was arrested at his home at Duff
fields last Thursday by Constable Han
nah on a warrant sworn out by j. G.
Tabler, charging him with having
started the fire that destroyed Mr..
Tabler's barn a month OF two ago near
Dufields. Great surprise was created
bv the arrest, and universal sympathy
was expressed for the family OF the
youth. who are among the most re-
spected and cultured residents of the
county. A hearing was held before
Justice Howell, at Charle.town. The
evidence developed the fact that young
Beckham is an epilertic, and his men
tai condition is such that he is not &C.
countable for his actions. 1t Is said
that he boasted of having set fire tc
the barn, and this fact coming to Mr.
Tabler's knowledge, the warrant fol
arrest was Issued. The hearing was
continued until further evidence could
be produced.

lively Cake Walk.

The colored folks held ball and
cake walk in Hartzell's hall last
Thursday night. which was in many
respects an entertaining affair, albeit a
trife too warm for some of the spec
tatoIs who were not looking for trou-
bic. Owing to the fact that several
experts were expected from neighbor-
ing towns, the cake walk did not be-
gin until a late hour. There was
ample diversion, however, and no one
suffered from ennui. One colored
gent overstepped the bounds Of cake
walk etiquette, and four sturdy pre-
servers of order seized him. They
formed flying wedge, and with great
skill rushed him through the crowd
and down the steps, not stopping to
put foot on the stairway. The white
spectators got trife nervous at the
episode, especially as some one began
humming the suggestive tune, There $
razzers in de air. A little later,
when another gent began to make
remarks about what he could do with
forty-fo gun he had in his hip pock-
ct, many of the visitors thought it
was healthier outside and took their
departure. Finally the cake walk
was begun, and extraordinary grace
and agility was manifested. Many
highfalutin' figures were cut and
movements of the most intricate char
acter executed The performance that
called forth the most applause was
the graceful yet modest way in which
a gent removed bouquet of flowers
from the stocking of his lady partner
and pinned it on her breast. The del
icacy Of this chivalric achievement
could only be appreciated by those
who witnessed it. The judges had
great difficulty in awarding the cake,
which was an imposing specimen OF
the bakers arr made especially for
this occasion, but finally bestowed 1t
upon Mr. Ross Moore and Mrs Ellen
Robinson, nee Cephas. Mr.. Moore
was both handsome and gallant in a
costume the chief features Of which
were high hat, red striped stockings
displaying to advantage his Adonls-
like shape, and elegantly embroidered
carpet slippers. His partner. wore
her gown of pink lawn with grace and
agility, as the decision OF the judges
amply Substantiates.
