The New York Times, after referring

In addition to this warlike condition
of affairs, it is stated 'that1 tbe ' Secre

Honor Mayor Cleveland, suspecting
that the fires which consumed the

addressed a note to Mayor Angier of
Atlanta, asking him to secure th ser

case-p, Mayor Angief immediately
recommended Capt. E. C. Murphy,
Chief of the Southern Detective AgeoU
cy, well known to be an expert in his
business, to come to Greenville and
undertake to unravel the mystery
which enveloped the dark deed. Mur
phy was at his work in a few days, and
in about two weeks the incendiaries
were shadowed. After convincing him
self, he then undertook to furnish the
evidence to reliable gentlemen, from
the lips of the incendiaries themselves
Messrs. Mauldin, Briggs and Thruston,
were stationed where they could see
and hear the parties detail the man

by the whole population. How a wife
who. haa been unfaithful to her lord,
kneels down before him in the road,
puts her face m the dust, and places
her husband s foot . upon her neck
This is a confession of guilt, and at
the same time a prayer for forgiveness.
If thehusband then covers his wile s
head with the white Ecarf, it means that
he forgives her and agrees to forget her
fault. If the white handkerchief is not
produced, the woman returns straight
to her father s house without again en
tering her husband s aweuing, ana a
divorce in pronounced. Mr MacGa
ham recounts a tragical story which a
soldier told him! on the Danube. A

his home that his wife bad been un
faithful. His comrades perceived that
he had all of a sudden taken to drink

reached his' village his wife, as he fear
ed, came forward, knelt down, and put
her face in the duet at his feet. The
spectators saw him look at her as she
lay in the dust for a long time. Two
or three times he put his hand in his
breast for the white handkerchief as if
he iwere going to cover tbe repentant
woman's head two or three times tbe
movement was restrained. Finally,
a?. Jtf , driven by a sudden im
pulse, vhe drew his, sword, and with
one stroke severed her bead from her
body tThe punish ment for the crime
was two rmonths'" imprisonment, while
tbemalicibuB neighbor .who had taken
the trouble to inform him beforehand
of his wife's misconduct was sentenced
to Siberia for three years.

Excitement in Consequence of a Personal
Paragraph in a Local Newspaper.
By telegraph to the N. Y. Herald.
Dakville, Va., July 6. The citizens
here, and especially the members of
tne tobacco trade and the newspaper
men, were thrown into a state of great
excitement by an attack with a cow
hide made upon Mr. Daniel Deckhart,
editor of the Border Express, by Mr.
A. P. Whitfield, a prominent tobacco
nist.
The cause of the affair was the pub
lication in the Exprcsst of a local
article which stated that several weeks
ago a negro named John Bobinson
called upon Mr. Jt. C. Whitfield,
younger brother of the Whitfield
above mentioned, and requested "him
to write a letter to Cecilia Bobinson
at High Pointy N. C, enclosing $5.
This the younger Whitfield consented
to do, and after sealing the letter gave
it to Robinson to mail. . An hour later
Whitfield called at the post office.atatmg
that the latter was upon business of
the firm, and that he wished to make
some alteration in it. . The letter waa
handed to him by the - postmaster, but
was never returned to the office. ! Last
week the jnegrq Robinson .complained
that the money had 'never been re
ceived, and further stated thaft he wish
ed to send $7 more. The postmaster at
once suspected young Whitfield, and!
advised Robinson to get Whitfield to
write his letter as before and enclosing
the money, taking the precaution to
mark both the notes so that they
could be indentified. The trap acted
like a charm. Whitfield wrote the
letter, inclosed the marked money and
called at the post office soon after the
letter had been mailed, making the
same representations as on the
previous occasion. The last letter was
deposited in tbe post office subse
quently, but beingopened was found to
contain no money. The postmaster
had young Whitfield arrested, and
waiving an examination he was bailed
by a United. States Commissioner to
appear. He was subsequently re-arrested
and the marked money found on
his person. Bail to double the amount
being now demanded was given for his
appearance, but at the hour appointed
th iovcBTlgaxton young Whltfid
was not forthcoming. He has fled.
