A number of le malcs were included in tho throng, and tlic.-e, in common with thospoctators, man ifested a deep interest in the proceedings. Twiteheli stood erect while the Sentence w;ts being delivered end maintained the utmost composure, the only change being noted was that as he resumed his seat he ehtsped his hands. A noticeable feature in the ease was that as Judge Brewster pro nounced the dread words, “And you he hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may Clod in His infinite goodness have mercy on your soul/' the State Hotiso clock rung out one.

The fatbor came to Memphis; the guilty pair went to German town, on the Memphis and Charlestown Kailroad, by travelling across the country iu the night'. Thu girl stopped or was de tained at Germantown ; her colored escort Hod on to Collierville, eight or nine miles farther, and about twenty-five miles from Memphis. Atjt-ollierville lie was overtaken by a party Mr. Jones’ neighbors, six young men, who got. on the right track and followed the fugitive from Bartlett.

The young man in front of him remonstra ted and was struck oyer the head with the butt ofa pistol. The end of the mutter was that the negro was surrendered, and very soon afterward several shots were heard by the six young men, who had been permit ted to go on unmolested. Saturday the body of the negro wus found, riddled with bullets. A coroner’s inquest was held, and the jury rendered a verdict that the deceus ed was shot and killed by unknown porsous tsitnteitems.

Grace'# Cele brated Halve is now so generally used lor the cure ol'fiesb wounds, cuts, burus, ul cers, felons, spruins, and all diseases of the skin, that praise of it seems to be needless. Those who have tried it once always keep a box ou hand, and nothing will induce theui io be without a supply’. Runaway.—Our correspondent at Con estoga Centre sends us the following : On Mondav, the 2."» th inst., while Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Winner, of Conestoga Centro, were driving with a horse and car riage along the road near Boehm’s Church, a short distance below Willow Street, this county, they met an oar team, thedriver of which kept in the middle of the road, aud drovo against tbo carriage, breaking oue wheel ami the shafts. It appears that where the eurriuge and wagon met the beaten track is In tbo middle of the road, and that the ladies turned to tbo right, driving as close lo the bank usido of the road as they possibly could, but that the driver of the loam did not turn out of the regular track, aud there not being sufficient room between tbo wagon and the bank l'or the carriage to pass, it was caught by the wagon. When the collision look place the horse became frightened, broke iroin the carriage and ran awuywitU tiie shafts remaining fastened to him, There wero also two children in the carriage, but fortunately no one was hurt. That the horse became detached from tbo carriage was fortunate; otherwise the re sult might have been quilo dillerent, per haps fatal lo one or more. The name of the driver we did not learn, but the owner of tho team is Mr. humuel Charles, of Requca township, who (in justice lo him be it said) says he will discharge the driver for thus endangering the lives of women and child ren. It seems to be the custom among (a port.on at least of,) the drivers of oar teams m that section uul to turn out an inch when meeting carriages, for we know of several other parties who narrowly escaped similar uccidents. A t.'AHli TO THE PUHI.IC. Marietta, Jaa, 2U, lsu3. ilixsrs. l.'duors: since sewing machines hav become the i;t:ueral tophi, and U being pretty generally coDcc-dod that tho Singer and Howe are the two beat machines now in use, It may not be out of place to give the public a few plain facts of tho quality‘and worth of both ma chines. Uavlugjusod the Singer for a period of six years and the liowe for niuo months, I Hat ter myself to be able to Judge which of the two should bo classed as A No. 1. lam a tailor by trade uud have constant use for a sewing ma chine, and when they were first introduced I purchased a Singer and was very well pleased; so much s . Unit I became pnjudlced and would hiod at no other. But being in wuut of a new machine aud hearing so much la’k about the Howe, I concluded t j go and see the Howe machine. I went to Lancaster and called tu C. Kale's. No. North Queen street, aud made a thorougp examination of the liowe machine. I secured some samples, repaired to the estab lishment of Mr. Beardslee, ugenl for the Singer* and made .an examination of the improved Singer, compared samples, and learned how nice an agent for a rival machine could put a good nravaru out of'n, tier, aud In tins coudi : ion e > v pare it with au interior article, and impress people not posted in machines with the belief that tho Singer cannot be surpassed and the. Howe is the most worthless article ever thrown into the market. Tills nice little dodze would not take with a person who had been using the Singer and also madeau exam ination of the Howe.cud disgusted ine so much that I determined to purchase a Howe ma chine. I did so, and soon iearued that it was capable of doing liner as also heavier work than cau be done on the Singer; that it dropped no 6tltches and was lcs3 trouble to keep In order, aud much easier to learn to operate upou. I have been usiug it for nine months, and must confess that I have douo more work with It in one daj-than can be done with the Singer In the same time. I have at times broken as many as four needles in one day on the Singer, while on the Howe I have broken bat one since I have it, and that was through careless, ness. I am so much pleased with the Howe that if I were presented with a Singer machine, and J would have to use it, I would pay the full price for the Howe. If you doubt my state ment, you can call at the Howe office, secure samples as I have done, take them to the Sing er office, aud you iwill be convinced that my statement Is correct. CLEMENT H. MILLER, -Marietta, Lancaster county, Pa. It Is strange to see with-what carelessness some invalids attend to their health. They will procure a box of Plantation Bitters which ought to be used up in a month or six weeks, and upon Inquiry it is found that they have used only two or three bottles. Some days they have used it according to the direc tions, and others have not touched it. The whole trial has been irregular, and of course a less favorable result has come from their use. I f It be true that •* what is worth doing at all is worth doing well," how emphatically is it trne in matters relating to the health. A few bot tles of Plantation Bitters have often wrought wonders, while in other Instances disease has only been subdued after weeks of resistance, r.

W.j have examined the account of Christian (last. Esq., Treasurer of the Board of Directors Im building ami repairing of llu-plta) building, and llnd a balaneo in tils hands nt seventy-three ilnllars and tlfty-foiir cents (£73.54.) We Imvi: examined tin* aeeotttit of Christian Lefever, Esq.. Treasurer of the Board of Prison I ns|iectors, anti tlml a balance in his hands of nine dollars and eightv cents (*:i.*n,l .January Ist, The present Indebtedness of the county Is one hundred and forty-six thousand ami eighUmn dol lars ami seventy-live rents (*) hl.iijs 75.) The Auditors having met on Monday, the fourth of .January, 1899, proceeded to their duties. Tim Comity Treasurer luld before them Ids arruiinl, which, not having been examined by the Cotomls sioners, as required by law, was relerred to them for approval, with the request that they also would make out a full and accurate'statement of all re ceipts ami ex|Kjnditures fur the year IBtsB. In com pliance with this request, the above ami foregoing statement was nrcsented, to which the Auditors take tho following exceptions, ami charge them with the several amounts thereof as being luivvui ranted ami Illegal, viz : Tho appropriation of ®75 to each of tlm two Fire Companies in Columbia, ami to oyo in Marietta, amounting In all to *225. Is objected to as illegal and furnishing a verv bud precedent. The argu ment that if a block of houses In either place should he destroyed l.v tire, the taxes ol tho county would be proportionally diminished, can have no weight, else it might lie considered a good Investment it the Commissioners would organize In every town iri the eomitv a good lire department with an etb e tive apparatus They have no power to make sueli appropriations, except, perhaps, where It may be expedient In places whore tho county holds valu able property. Upon examination of tho several hills for print ing, done for the Commissioners by the dllierctd printing establishments of the city of Lancaster, we discover a difference of ten per cent, for the sume work, while that done in Manbelm, Marietta and Columbia Is materially less. As economy .In the expenditure of tin* public mom-v is expected and ahvavs commendable, w* would respectfully suggest that the printing, as well as any other work necessary to be rloue. bo given to the lowest bidder. From facts stated and proven, tin* A mlltors fei 1 compelled to suggest a pulley different from that bei’etofore pursued in the building of bridges. Not fewer than 19 bridges, rusting St 19,7 18.(21, have been erected within the last three year-, and all except ing one or two bv the same mechanic , and from statements which we do not question, in some in stances at a greater expense than necessary, If a proper competition Inhl been duly encouraged In advertising for proposals and public lettings. Manv complaints have arisen In consequence among the la.x-pavers, which have been communicated to u verbally and by letter, from men of the lirst respectal blit v an'il truth, under the erroneous belief that we have' the jsiwer to revise the contracts, npd charge the Commissioners » ith any excess that may have been improperly allowed. To relieve clamor, and give increased contldence In their olllc.ial Integ rity, we respectfully recommend, that In future when the ('ommi-sioiiers shall Iltid it necessary to erect a bridge or any other structure. Instead ot letting it out on private contract, shall have a proper plan with specltlratiuns and estimate c f cost made hv a competent bridge builder or architect. (the sjKicillcations distinctly stating the kind of timber ami lumber, whether oak, white or yellow pine or hemlock, and quantity of Iron necessary.) have the plan ami specitleations nailed up in their ofllce. open to the Inspection of all, advertise for proposals, giving twenty or thirty da\«’ notice, in at least three or four newspapers of Lancaster aiid one In Philadelphia, announcing a brief descrip tion of the bridge to be built, and where the plan and sjiecltlcutlniis can be seen, and that on a day and hour certain after such twenty or thirty dnvs shall have expired, 'here will he a public letting in the Court House to the lowest and best bidder, who shall be required to give adequate security for tin* faithful nertormance of bis contract. \{ this he done, and tin; building be given without resj«ect to man or partv. and without fear, favor or affection, the complaints made will cease.
