Mr. Cartter moved here from the cast about two months ago and nurchased something over two acres of land here, which is one of the best locations in the cltv. He did rapid work in building, moving into his home four weeks after it was berun. It is an attractive cot- tage, containing sis rooms, bathroom and closets, with a large and con venient collar underneath. The house is finely finished aqd furnished and makes a very desirable home.

An Escape From the Tennessee Penitentiary Frustrated Aged Desperado Killed. Fnlton Convicted of Wife Murder A Detroit' Mystery Domestio Tragedy in Louisiana. Charleston, S. Deo. 2L Lawlessness reigns supreme ia the region of the phosphate mines, where hundreds of hands have recently been thrown out of employment.

News has reached here of a daring attempt at robbery Sunday morning near Ten-mile station. About two o'clock in the morning Henry Richtog, a storekeeper on Turkey creek, near the South Carolina railway station, was aroused from sleep by a band of negroes, who attempted, under cover of night, to carry oft his stock and break into his store and dwelling. Mr. Richtog began a desperate defense of his premises, and finally succeeded, after discharging his guns and pistols, ia driving off the men and probably saving his life. The store of Mr.

Richtog is situated lust about the center of the phosphate works, and the impression seems to be that the negroes who were engaged in this business were discharged from the mines and had become desperate from the closing up of the pnosphate business in that section. The country about the station is said to be full of idle and lawless bands of needy negroes, and the farmers and residents there are much concerned about their lives and property. This condition of affairs was brought about prin cipally by the unfortunate depression in the phosphate trade and the consequent discharge of hundreds of negro laborers. ESCAPE PREVENTED. Nashville, Dec 21.

Warden Pcorcy, of tue State penitentiary, has discovered and nipped in the bud what promised to be a wholesale escape of the prisoners. It was planned for Sunday cveuing shortly before eight o'clock, and half an hour's delay in the discovery would have been all the time the convicts wanted. They had cut a large holo in the roof of an unoccupied cell on the top floor, through which they were to go, and thence gain the ground by a rope thirty feet loug, which they had platted from pieces of hemp. A guard named Thompson found the holo in the roof shortly beforo the appointed time and the plot was foiled. Prisoners are allowed to walk in the corridors until the eight o'clock bell rings, and their time had been employed in doing the work.

The leader was Bob McKinley, who is in for murder, and Who has since his incarceration killed a fellow convict and escaped the gallcws be cause there was only convicts' testimony against him. A BORDER TERROR SHOT. Redstone Junction, Dec. 2L Word has been received here that Elihu Gregg, who for fifty years has been the terror of the border farmers of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland, was found dead a few days ago on the West Virginia mountains with a bullet hole in his breast. Qrcgg, who was over eighty years of age, had just been released frqin a term in prison in this couuty for horse stealing, and went at once to West Virginia, swearing he would kill certrin persons whom he charged with treachery toward him.

It is supposed that he met death at the hands of one of ttio mountaineers while striving to carry out his threats. Gregg was a desperate character, and in his loug career as a horse and cattle thief, he managed to elude justice with rare cunning aud skill. convicted op wife murder. Corcnna, Dec. 21.

The trial of Daniel Fulton, for wife murder, was concluded this evening and resulted in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. Fulton married a woman of unsavory reputation, who had been keeping house for Alexander Holmes. Three weeks after the marriage Fulton tried to induce the woman to leave Holmes' house. Sho refused, whereupon he attacked her with a carving knife, nearly severing her head from her body. Ho then assailed Holmes, nearly disemboweling him, though the latter has recovered from his injuries.

Fulton then cut his own throat, but failed to inflict fatal injuries. TDE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. Detroit, Dec. 21. The woman arrested yesterday with thirty-nine United States bonds in her possession, which sho had vainly tried to negotiate, is still locked up.

Her name is now said to be Sophie Vic- torine, and she said her husband was stop ping at the Crawford House in Windsor, but he could not bo induced to cross the river. He told such a st raight story to the officers about haviug failed In East, that the detectives' are inclined to believe him, especially as no report of any robbery has been received.

Eagtem'Insurance Companies So Consider llrewery l'roperty in Iowa. Dubuque, Iowa, Dec 21. The agents ia this city of Eastern companies have received notice from headquarters that the cancellation of all policies on the breweries of Dubuque is deemed advisable in view of the recent decision of the Supreme Court. Some of the policies are, for long terms, but the companies have the privilege of cancelling them at will. The risks on the brewery property in Dubuque aggregates nearly $200,000.

The insurance companies regard the risks as "moral hazards," or in other words tho incentive to destroy property in order to secure the insurance is very great, since the decision of the court has rendered it almost valueless. One agent addressed a letter to his superiors to-day assuring them that the business of Dubuque would be operated for many years to come. He is more sanguine than the brewers themselves, who virtually admit that they must go out of the business. Insurance companies have refused risks on saloons for nearly a year past. A prominent insurance agent to-day expressed the opinion that all Eastern companies would cancel their risks on Dubuque brewery property.

THWACKED BY THAYER. The Nomination of Lamar to the Supreme Court Displeases the Governor of Nebraska. IiIxcolx, 21. GovernorThayer has forwarded to Nebraska's members of the Senate the following communication: To Senators C. F.

Manderton and A. S. Paddock, Washington, D. Lincoln, Dec. 19.

Deab Sirs: As a citizen of the United States and a Republican, I respectfully but most earnestly protest against the confirmation of L. Q. C. Lamar as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. lie was a bold and defiant advocate of the dissolution of the Union in 1860-61.

He was in heart and principle just as much a traitor as Jeff Davis. He has never recanted his treasonable sentiments. A man with such a record should never be placed upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States by the votes of the Republican Senators. He is not a fit person to interpret the Constitution of the United States. Very truly yours, John M.

Sunday night the men stopped at camp 8, about ten miles from this place, and two of them died. Their companions placed the bodies in the snow outside the hut, intendiug to bury them in the morning, but when morning came the bodies had disappeared, and the evidence all pointed to wolves carrying them off. The other invalids reached here to-day so ill that they will probably die. Blackleg is making great ravages among the laborers on the railroad. The Francklyn Cattle Company.

New York, Dec. 21. In 1833 Charles G. Francklyn, of this city, became president of the Francklyn Land and Cattle Company. September 1, 18S5, the company sold to Stephens Lytle, of Kansas City, a large drove of cattle for $106,834, the payment being made in promissory notes.

It is now claimed that Francklyn fraudulently converted the notes to his own use and gave them to Morton, Bliss Co. and others in favor of individual indebtedness. The notes were subsequently sold to the Traders' Bank, of Kansas City, for 53,625, and five of them were in turn sold to the National Bank of Illinois. To-day Radcliffe Baldwin, assignee for Gordon Cunard, brought a suit asking that the notes be restored, all the transactions be declared void and the notes applied to the payment of Cunard'B Judgment..
