CHARGES PEOhAGE
AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
Postma aster Wants to Quit Job
But Uncle Sam Refuses.

The following from the Jackson
News is rather an amusing story:
A. L. Horton. a negro post
master at Way Station, Madison
county small village about
thirty five miles north of here on
the line Of the Illinois central
road makes the sensational charge
that he is being held in peonage
by the postoffice department.
Horton has been postmaster at
the place for several years, and
frequently attempted to resign
the last effort of this sort having
been made only few days ago
but the postoffice departm Mt re-
fuses to accept the resignatio n
for the reason that no other per-
son can be found in the cOmmu-
nifty who is willing to take the
office and several Of them have
written 70 the postmaster general
insisting that Horton be retained
in the office.
The negro is very much in
earnest over the charge preferred
against the postoffice depart
ment, and has written letter to
the federal authorities here ask
ing if there is not some hook or
crook of the law by which he can
quit the job without rendering
his bondsmen liable He indig-
nantly asserts that the po-trnas-
ter general is holding him in in
voluntary servitude, and that ne
is losing money by serving as
postmaster. The case is without
a parallel in this state and the
federal authorities are very much
puzzled over it.

UNIVERSITY BOYS
FURNISH SENSATION.
Young Lady to Protect Her
Father Shoots Peace
Maker

A special from Oxford dated
the 26th to the Commercial APP
peal says:
A very sensational mix-up took
place in a boarding house here
this afternoon, resulting in the
shooting of a student of the Uni
versity of Mississippi by the pret-
ty daughter of a boarding house
keeper and the thorough beating
up of the boarding house propri-
etor by two other students.
1t appears that there had been
some trouble over a gate on the
premises OF w. B. johnson, pro-
prietor Of a local boarding house,
and a member of one of the Oldest
families of the place. This gate
was removed during the previous
night by party of serenaders,
and this morning, Mr.. Johnson,
upon hearing oft, applied some
very Objectionable epithets to the
perpetrators of the deed.
Johnson, it appears, talked
pretty loudly and said some very
bitter things, which, coming to
the ears of the parties implicated
in the removal of the gate, caused
two Of them, students of the Uni
versity named. Butler and Ogilvie,
to call upon him and offer to pay
for the gate. They insistsd at
the time, however, that he should
withdraw the Objectionable cpl
thets which he had applied to
them. This Johnson refused to
do, and blow passed, and in the
fight that followed the boarding
house proprietor was badly pun
ished by the irate students

The noise Of the fracus attrac-
ted the attention of other stu
dents, and number of them
came running up to see what was
the matter. One of them, ]. @.
Finley of Tupelo, came from his
own boarding place near by, and
seeing Johnson's wife attempted
to take a hand in the affair,
caught her by the arm and at
tempted to act the peacemaker.
At this moment, when Johnson
was on the floor scFapping it out
with Butler and Ogilvie, and Fin
ley was doing his best to pacify
Mrs. Johnson and to persuade
the others to cease from troub-
ling, Miss Tick Johnson, aged 20
years, and one of the prettiest
girls in this section Of the State.

keeper, rushed out of her room
with pistol in her hand, and
seeing he. mother being held by

without stopping to ask any ques
tions.
The bullet passed through both
Of FinIey's wrists, but fortunately
failed to strike bone, making
only slight flesh wound. The
young lady was at once disarmed +
and the fight stopped. No ar
rests have been made, and there /
are no other developments as
yet.

not pay to run the Massillon cars
after 1880, and there will be no Mas

Manager Dimmock stated that in case
of an opera or ON holidays when con-
siderable people are down town he
will provide special cars.
Massillon people are of the opinion
that the method of taking the ears
from the lines at .10:30 will only oc-
cur on two nights week. The last
Brookfield car will leave Massillon
square at 10 o'clock instead of 1880
as heretofore. So it Is up to the peo-
pie of Massillon to take car for
home at 10 or walk. However no
change will be made in the lnterurban
service
