TIIK (ilOCKKTV MURDER. CVititriilnrs ol the Kfllin f D Urvrfeett's (rniMlMOti. The Memphis Avalanche of Saturday last Kays: The particulars 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 Avalanthe of yesterday, have caused the greitest excite ment among the residents in the vicinity of the place where the deed was committed, and the most eager pearch K being made for the perpe trator of the murder. The deceased was higLly respected by nil who knew him, and as , THE Gl'ILTY PERSON Is supposed to be a negro of bad character wto worked on an adjoining plantation, and who U reported missing, and as he is suspected of being in Memphis, several of the mi KNOB OF THE Ml-KDEHED MAN arrived in the city to assist the authorities in finding out the whereabouts of and identifying the guilty. Among these parlies are Mr. J. (J. IJerry, ex-Sheriff of Crittenden county, and Mr. Charles Morris, of Pacific Place, Ark., to whom wc are indebted for additional particulars of the tragedy. THE INQUEST on the body 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 be was engasred in drawing some whisky from a barrel on board the trading boat. The first blow, which war given on the back of the bead, doubtless rendered the unfortunate mxn unconscious, as the skull was fractnrec". The second blow was evidently dealt with murder ous intent, as oor Crockett fell backward, as there was an ugly gash over the right eye. Not satisfied with intlicting these deadly wound, tbe fiend in liumanj-haps cut the throat of his victim from ear to ear. THE NHGKO WHO IS Sl'SPECTEO of doing the murder was seen going on board of Crockett's boat on the night of Tuesday by a colored woman, who also staled 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 tents had been tossed about and several car ried off. nii.i.s vnn spots of m.oon on them. During the day be 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. He next wanted the captain of the ferry boat Laura to take him to Memphis, alleging that he bad important business to transact in this city. The captain refused to accede to his re'iucst, and he departed in the direction ot Jlopeficld, 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 fv bring him to justice. lH0WiH OH FKOXEX. Dltntlful Accident to ft Hunting Pnrtv In - Ooi'Klu. Tbe Macon Tvliyraih ami M .se(i c of Thurs .tlay last has the following details of a most melancholy accident to a hunting party from that city: It is our painful duty this morning to record the most shocking accident that has occurred in this section for years. The facts, as related to us by an eye witness, are about as follows: On Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock, a party of gentlemen, composed of Messrs. VV. Scott Clark, John Barclay, Dave Connor, Dr. F. G. Castlen, Henry Ells, W. T. Nelson, George C. Napier, and a colored man named Bob Banks, left here in three batteaus on a duck hunting excursion down the Ocmulgee river. They had nroeceded down the stream to what is known as Bullard's. near Barclay's plautation, when, on yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the boat in which Mr. Henry N. Ells and his servant, Bob Banks, were seated, be came capsized in the river, by running against a log floating down the stream. Mr. Ells clung to his bout, but Bob grasped the log and climbed upon it. So soon as this occurred tbe boat in which Messrs. Counor, Nel son and Napier were sealed hurried to the assistance of Ells and the negro, and in the struggle to get them out of thewater, thif boat was also capsized, and the water 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 Barclay's plantation, and after wading through a canebrake and water waist deep, and through tbe ice in the swamp, they managed to find their way to Mr. Barclay's house, after suffering mot terribly from the cold. Ercm thence tbej- walked to the Macon and Brunswick Kailway station and reached this city last evening. Mr. George Napier reached the bank on this side of the river, but as lie got into a most dense canebrake. and near which there is no known settlement, the greatc-t fears are entertained for Ids life. Mr. Ells wa seen by Messrs. Connor and Nelson out in the river after they got ashore, and he called to them that be was going to iirown, and to give his love to his wife and mother, and went down. The colored man still clung to the floating log, but as he could not swim and was nearly frozen to death, no hopes are entertained that he is alive. A party of gentlemen will go down on the Brunswick ro;d this morning t recover the bodies, if possible, and to rescue Mr. Napier, if be is still alive. SHARP FRACIICE. A Pvilnttllng Firm In Hrndlna-K I -VOOO of liooda Obtained I uilrr Putae t'reieuee. The Beading Eajle has the following: About a month ago two strangers came to Heading, no person knew from whence. They bad circulars printed beaded "Painter, Myers A: Co., Dealers in Hardware, etc., Reading. Pa." They wrote to Joseph Nan Clew and other wboissale hardware dealers, in Newark, N. J., asking for price lists, from which to make up orders for goods. They referred to "Hough, at Harrisburg," formerly in the hardware business but who latterly failed. The Newark business men wrote to lfarriBburg, when Hough replied that tho firm of- Painter, Myers & Co., were "all right, and they could send them any quautily of goods." It appears it was not known in Newark that Hough had failed. The Heading firm sent orders for goods to the value of some f 15.000 and a note payable in thirty days at the First National Bank ef Read ing. The goods were sent by express and re ceived by the strangers here, 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 las; evening Mr. Van Clew came on .3 Reading to see what the matter was. Upon arriving here, be first discovered that the tiroi of Painter, Myers & Co., was a myth, and that be aud bis fnends in Newark had been swindled. The strangers changed their boarding place three different times while ia Reading. Their present whereabouts Is unknown. 110B1UBLE ACCTPKM.
