in bis well ordered court rooms before, and
we have no doubt that hia mealy sympa

Oa Saturday last the members ot tbe
Brethren's church of Elklick district, met
la the large meeting boose at Summit
Milla to consider and act upon tba propos
ed division ot thia large and populous
charge. The first, and in tact the only
serious dltDculty, was found in establish
ing the geographical lines, bat "where
there la a will there ie a way," and this
difficulty was finally satisfactorily settled .
We regret tbat we are without tbe boun
daries of the three new districts, but the
residence of the Minister and tbe loca
tion of their churches will direct those
"native to the manor born" as to the body
of each particular charge and those living
oa or close to the lines will aoon learn to
which particular church their member-
shin it attached.
At before atated the old Elklick district
aaa been divided into three charges, bear
ing respectively, the names oi Elklick,
Summit and Meyeradale. Tbe preachers
of the Elklick district are Reverends S. C.
Ketm. Jos. a Sell, Merril and Jona. Kel
so ; they have two places of worship, viz
at Salisbury and at Peck's. Ot tbe four
misters oae bishop will have to be ebo
nmoat probably the Rev. Kelso. This
district ia a large and straggling one, tak
ing ia pans of Greenville, Elklick and
Addiaoa twp'a.
Tbe second or Bammlt district is tbe
tmalleet and moat compact, has but one
place of worahiB that at Summit Milla.
and baa three resident ministers, viz:
Reyerenda Jno A. Miller, Joel Gnacv
and Jonas .ichtr. The new bishop will
probably be tbe Bey. Jonas Lichty. Third
or Meyertdale district hat three places of
worship that at Berkley 'a Milla. at Mey-
Bfsdale, and oae at a point nearly midway
between Meyeradale and Pocahontas. In

He bas told all be knows about bis

lived in tbe everglades of Florida ;
be went bitber and you, a fugitive
and wanderer up and down the earth,
till, sick and tired, be wanted noth-
iog so much as to be allowed to quit

banted qp and down tbe earth, brand

be wanted peace. And so he permit
ted bimself to be taken, and came

city all that is left of the money be

permitted to go out and live unmo

Whatever may be tbe upshot of it,
there is no doubt bot that tbe arcb
conspirator, T'ldeo, wishes very
much to make another effort for tbe
Presidency. He nev:r intended tbat
tbe verdict of tbe joint commisson

have commenced proceedings louir

Tbere ia an epedemic of crime,
which has taken, this week, more
than usual horrible features. A frail
woman, an inmate of a fashionable
bouse of ill-fame op-towa, was yiait
ed by ao unknown man one evening
last week. bat transpired 10 the
room will never be known. Tbe man
rushed out, and was lost iu tbe dark
ness. A moment lter tbo woman
appeared, at the bead of tbe stairs en-
reloped in flames. Sbe dressed for
(be evening in rich robes of a coob un
title material, aod tbe names bad
completely enveloped ber. She bad
just time to exclaim "be set mo afire
with a match," and fell, and before
relief could reach her was burned to
death. Toe man bas aot Leen.found.
Then this was followed by another
mystery. One of tbe oldest aod
richest firms in tbe city is tbat of tbe
JewetU, lead manufacturers, The
junior member is a bepbew of tbe
aenior, and is a peculiarly excitable
man, so much so tbat it
was deemed advisable by bis partners
to buy biro out, and tbe papers neces

A special from Atlanta, Ga., is as
follows :
"A special from Conyers states
tbat the jail at tbat place was burn
ea to-aav, and tbree negro prison
ers perished in the flames. Tbe
door to tbe jail was on tbe
second floor, tbo second story
bcinsr a solid dungeon wbicb
opened from the top by a trapdoor.
Before tbe fire was discovered it bad
burned away the steps and cut iff aii
communication with the prisoners.
Inere wss no engine in tbe town,
and tbe fire bad us own way. Tbe
beat was so intense tbat it was im
possible to approach tbe buildiog.
At length ao axe was forced through
an aperture to tbe prisoners, aod tbev
commenced to out through tbe heavy
logs tbat made the dungeon walls.
Tbe flames, however, swept down-,
ward rapidly, and soon burned
llirouga me upper itoor ana sent a
shower of embers and lurid blaze
upou the wretched men below. In
this horrid illumination they could be
plainly seen by tbe crowd outeide.
Crazed with pain and fear they ca
pered about like mad men, dabbing
themselves against the walls and
screaming io tbe most fearful manner:
Their attempts to cut through tbe
wallii, while furious, bad uo intelli
gent direction. They backed about
wildly, frequently figbtin; like brutes
for tbe poMseaaion of tbe axe. At
length tbe whole upper flour gave
way, and the three wretched men,
clutched tbe outer logs, stretched
their bands to the crowd outside and
were lost in a blinding pbeet of flame.
Tbe prisouers talked with the
crowd during tbe progress cf tbe fire,
and said they bad heard, ft Qiatcb
struck up stairs an h jur before ibe
fire was visible and supposed it was
the jailor. It was certainly ioceudia
ry, and it is believed to bave been
done by friends of tbe prisoners. It
commenced nt tue door on tbe sec
cod story. The prisoners were put
in jail just a day and a half before the
fire occurred, and were sentenced for
a few yeajy each to the penitentiary."
