T1IK HWCKBTV MURDER. fVitllriilnm nt th- Klllina of Df tlrcrleeit'a rniilun. The Memphis An'.am'hn of Saturday last Ray: The iarticulrs of the bloo ly and mys terious murder of Mr. J. B. Crockett, at Brad ley's Landing, on the Mississippi, twelve miles above Memphis, as published in the Aealarahe 'if yesterday, have caused the preUeBt excite ment ninniiK the residents in the vicinity of the place where the deed was committed, and the mopt eager search ! being made for the perpe trator of the murder. The deceased was highly respected by nil who know him, and as , THE Ot'M.TY I'F.HSON la supposed to he a nucro of bad character wto worked on an adjoining plantation, and who i reported missing, and as he is suspected of being in Memphis, several of the rRlKNPR OF THE M CHUCKED MAN arrived in the city to assist the authorities In fiivdiw? out the whereabouts of and identifying the guilty. Among these parties are Mr. J. G. Berry, ex-SheritT of Crittenden county, and Mr. Charles Morris, of Pacific 1'lacc, Ark., to whom we are indebted for additional particulars of the tragedy. THE lNQ.rr.ST on the hod j' of the deceased was held by Mr. Mulloy, Justice of the Peace of Wappanocca township, and it was proved that the murderer struck his victim with an iron harrow tooth, while he was engaged In drawing some whisky from a barrel on board the trading boat. The first blow, which was given on the back ot the head, doubtless rendered the uutortunate man unconscious, as the skull was fractured. The sec ml blow was evidently dealt with murder ous intent, as poor Crockett fell backward, as there was an ugly gash over the right eye. Not satisfied with mulcting these deadly worotK the fiend in huinanhup cut the throat of his victim from car to car. the m:gko who is srsrECTEr of doing the murder was seen goinir on board of Crockett's boat on the night ot Tuesday t3' a colored woman, who also stated that she ob served him examine the contents of a trunk. The trunk in question presented the appearance, on being inspected by the jurors, as if the con teiils had beeu tossed about aud several car ried off. isti.i.s wri i: si'ots or ni.oou on them. During the day he arrived at Mound City and paid a visit to the grocery store of Mr.'J. G. Berry, where he purchased several articles and paid for them in bills that had spots of blood on them, lie next wanted the captain of the ferry boat Laura to take him to Memphis, alleging that he bad important business to trausact In this city. The captain refused to accede to his request, and he departed in the direction ot llopefield, and is supposed to have crossed the river at that point. The city authorities are making every effort to arrest the suspected murderer in order tc bring him to justice. 1) KOWIvm OK FKOXKX . Drtmtfiil Accident to n Hunting Tnrtv In OnrRiit. Tbtf Macon Tdt yra'h nnd M 'si,. r of Thurs day last has the following details of a most melanehoh accident to a hunting papty from that city: It is our painful duty this morning to record the most shocking accident that has occurred iu this section for years. The facts, as related to us by an eye witness, are about as follows: On Tuestlaj' morning, about eleven o'clock, a party of gentlemen, composed ot Aussrs. w . cott Clark, John Barclay, Dave Connor, Dr. F. G. Castlen, Henry Ells, W. T. Nelson, George C. Napier, and" a colored man named Bob jsanKs, leit here m tnrce uatteaus on a uucr huntiiig excursion down the Octnulgec river. Thcj' had nrocceded down the stream to what is known as Bullard'e, near Barclay's plantation, wlien, on yesterday atternoon, about two o'clock, the boat in which Mr. Henry N. Ells and his servant, Hob Hanks, were seated, be came capsized in the river, by running against a log floating down tue stream. .Mr. .& clans to his boat, but Bob grasped the low and climbed upon it. So soon as this occurred the boat in which Messrs. Counor, Nel son and Mapier were sealed burned to the asti-tance of Ells and the negro, and in the struggle to get them out f theywater, this boat was also capsized, and the Wiitcr was so in tensely cold that the struggle was then for life on the part of each individual, and as clinging to the boats in such cold water was certain death, each man. except the negro, struck put for the banks. Messrs. Nelson and Connor suc ceeded in reaching the opposite or east bank of the river, near liarclay s plantation, and alter wading through a canehrake and water waist deep, and through the ice in the swamp, thev managed to find their way to Mr. Barclay's house, after suffering mot terribly from the cold. From thence the3' walked to the Macou and Brunswick Kaihvay station and reached this city last evening. Mr. George Napier reached the bank on this side of the river, but as he got luio a most dense canehrake. and near whit h there is no known Fettlcm' Dt. the greatest fears are entertained for his life. Mr. Ells wa seen by Messrs. Connor and Ni lsiui out in the river after the' got ashore, and he called to them that he was going to 'rowu, and to give his love to his wife and mother, and went down. Tbe colored man siill clung to the floating log, but as he could not swim and was nearly frozen to death, no hopes are entertain. J. that he is alive. A part' of gentlemen will go down on the Brunswick ro;id this morning t recover the bodies, if possible, and to rescue Mr. Napier, if he is sti'.I alive. SHARP PRACTICE. A PwIimIIIiik Firm In Krndlnji-K 1 .1.000 of (ootlii (tblnlocd I ndrr Kulne I'reiease. The Beading Eagle has the following: About a month ago two strangers came to Reading, no person knew from whence. They had circulars printed headed "Painter. Myers iV Co., Dealers in Hardware, etc., Reading, Pa." Thev wrote to Joseph Van Clew and other wholesale hardware dealers, in Newark, N. J., asking for price lists, from which to make up orders for goods. They referred to "Hough, at llarrisburg," formerly in the hardware business but who latterly failed. The Newark business men wrote to llarrisburg, when Hough replied that the firm of Painter, Myers fc Co., were "all right, and they could seud them auy quantity of goods." It appears It was not known in Newark that Hough had failed. The Beading firm sent orders for goods to the value of some $15,000 and a note payable in thirty days at the First National Bauk ef Read ing. The goods were sent by express and re ceived by the strangers hero, who took the boxes to a smoke-house on Washington street, where they repacked the goods and shipped them to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Two days ago the note in bank was protested, and last evening Mr. Van Clew came on .o Heading to see what the matter was. Upon arriving here, he first discovered that the lirui of Painter, Myers & Co., was a myth, and that be aud his friends in Newark had been swindled. The strangers changed their boarding place three different times while ia Reading. Their present whereabouts is unknown. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
