Miss Turlington was found about a mile west of Cary, and a half mile southwest of the R. & D. railroad, hav ing the appearance of being; knocked in the head. An old negro named Marsh, found her. Caxt, N. 0., Deo. 24, 1886. The body of Miss Turlington was found this evening about 2 o'clock at a point about one mile and a quarter west f Cary, near the residence of Mr. Wiley Bonghoombe. The body was found by a negro man named Frank MarehVin a piece of woods about one quarter f a mile south of the North Carolina rail road, and about the same distance" from the oounty road leading from Raleigh to Durham. It was found lying on its back, with hands crossed on the breast and one bullet shot through the head. The body was found about one hundred yards from a path leading out of the main road, and it seems that the mur derer made no - effort to oover up the body. It seems that the larger number of the searching party were near Mor- nsville. A messenger has been dis patched to notify the searching party that Miss Turlington's body has been fcund. Marsh was j not searching for the body when he found it. He had started over to ,Mr. Boughoomb's on business. G. W. Gcxes. A special train of two coaches left the city yesterday morning 'at 9 o'clock fcr the scene of the search for the body of Miss lassie Turlington, carrying eighty-four gentlemen, smong them Chief cf Polioe Hcartt, Messrs. Spier Whitsker, A. H. Temple, Jno. E, Bay, Thou. G. JenkiEs and F. A. Olds. The train arrived! at Cary at 9 30 'o'clock, from where the party proceeded to a pcint within one and a. half miks of Morrisville and commenced a thorough search of the country for a width of three miles and extended it to point three miles beyond Morrisville, going over the entire territory in which all reports seemed to indicate that the murder had taken place. The greatest interest wss msnifc sted by every one on the erouud end all were crettv thor- oughly convinced that the body of M sb lurlirgton wss in the vioinity. The butt uis proEeouted without cessasion, aid f cue evidence of the proximity of the bedy was thought to have been found on the discovery of a lady's bandkerehief having a red bor der snd beirg badly torn. This bsiickerchief wss found in open field a mile west of Morrisville on the Chapel Hill road. 1 he hunt was then confined until a special messenger arrived at Morrietillc from Cary and anrounced that the dead body of Miss Turling ton! hsd been discovered tear that place. The searching party were at that time scattered all over the imme diate territory around Morrisville and to oil thtm together and make the fearful antcuneement. the bells of all the churches in the village were tolled. After hear ix g the announcement, the party at once proceeded to the place at which the bodv was discovered. This poixt is about one mile west of Cary on the main road leading to Morrisvslle., and is not more than cne hundred yards to tbe left tf the road. By this point the North Carolina railroad and the county road tens parallel, being not more than twentj-fiye yards apart. Tha Raleigh k Augusta Air Line railroad tuns paral lel to these two roads for three-four the of a mile from Cary, beine to the south of them and about a quarter of a mile distant. Between these two railroads, and three- il ;i .i m r , lourins oi a mue west oi uary in a wood, is the exact fpot at which the body was found. The place is by no jneana isolated, houses being in sight ia : a? i A .. . .. two uirecuons, ana it is a matter ot ue greatest surprise that the spot should be ohosen for the commission of such a hoi- riblc crime. It appears that Bingham had driven ever the' road and through Morrisville, as before stated, going through that village at about 12 o'clock m , and that he had taken a by-road to the left of the main road, one mue neyona mat piaee. making a le continually to the left until he reached the main road near Cary a see ond time, then turned frt m the left of the main road again goings about forty yards into the woods when he stopped and tied his horse. This fact was ai oertained by the marks made by the horse in stamping his fore feet. The hat and retioule of Miss Turlington were hanging on the Dough of an oak tree at that point. Signs seen her indioate that the young lady 'had jumped from the buggy and tried to escape. It is pre sumed that JSingham shot at her as she ran, missed her and then jumped from the buggy, pursued and overtook her, dealt her some violent blows on her left cheek, knocking her senseless and then shot her through the head The pistol was evidently very close to her head when fired, her face and her hair being badly scorched by the powder. Right here were two old raits between whioh was a large blood stain. From here she was dragged for about fifty yards further into the woods, as was evidenced from the particles of fur from her cloak, having been oaught by the twigs and brush between the spot and the place she was found, tbu body as Disocyaaxn. When found the cuff on her right arm was pulled down over her hand and was stained with blood, indicating that she had thrown her hand to her head when the fatal shot was fired. Her muff was near her left side. There were four rinea on her fingers and a neoklaoe around her neck. Bar clothing had not been torn and was in good order. A art of her hair had fallen down and ad apparently been pushed into the oil by some one alter she had been killed. She seemed to have been care fully laid out, being on her baok, her hands careful lyplaoed upon her breast and and the lying upon a slight incline, the head being on the higher portion and towards the north. It would seem from the careful arrangement of the body that the maddened and frensied lover after hoving committed the horrible orime re alised his inexpressible inhumanity and had as a last aad forever lasting fare well to the woman he lovod best on earth, bestowed every tender caress and token of love upon her that was lest in his power. The coroner went up to Cary last night to view tha remains. It is under stood on good authority that the body will be brought here tomorrow on the 8.45 train and that the inquest will be held here at llMr clock. ,JM organ ta-Hiekory.

After an absence of five years the writer again has the pleasure of : visit ing the town of Morganton and Hickory. IfOBGAOTOK, the county seat of .Burke, and lying almost under the shawdow of Grand father mountain, is one of the pleasant est plaoes to summer at in the Piedmont country. No purer, sweeter, cooler water can be found in the state than here. No cleverer or more hosptiable people exists than those of Morganton. Within sight of the town and not more than fifteen or twenty miles distant are the ' beautiful Blue Ridge mountains, whioh wherever seen produces upon the mind of tbe beholder reverential feel ings for thes: magnificently grand evi- derces of nature's great arohiteot. The spirit of progress has not been idle within the last five years, for during that period a number of handsome brick stores have been built, and Morganton will at no distant day, it ia hoped, be come one of the prominent towns of Western Carolina. We were happy to shake the hands and meet the smiles of mtny of our former friends, which among this people are not easily for gotten. It is at this plsoe that the Western North Carolina asylum is sit utttd, which is said to have cost about $f p JCOO. It is a magnificent building EICKC&T is fortunate in havirg among its eitiiena seine of the liveet business men ia the state. This place enly a few years ago wss but an obeeure railway station, but now seme twenty or more large, hand some brick stores, several tobacco fac tories and tobacco warehouses attest the indominable energy and push of its bus- mots men. It is at this place that the celebrated "Old Hickory Wagons" are manufactured. Col. J. G. Hall is pres ident of the "Piedmont Wagon Co.," the factory frcm which these wagons are produced. This company manufactures about 2,400 Wagons annually. Col. Hill is to Hickory what Col. W. T. BlaokweU is to Durham, almost the father of the town. He is a tall well-built man, with black hair, dark intelligent eyes, and pleasant cmile. He is a man of fine executive ability, and although en gaged in several branches of business, keeps them all well in hand. ; Col. Hall intends making an exhibit of his wsgtns at the next state fair in rather a novel style, he will cause a beautiful house to be built of wagons, the bouse bating several rooms, one of which will contain a large cottage organ accom panied by a good choir from Hickory who will discourse the sweetest musio, dur ing the exhibition. While in Hickory we had the pleasure of meeting the Hon A. A. Shuford, member of the last leg islature. We also had the pleasure of enjoying the converse of Bro. o. &. Brvan. editor of the Piedmont Press. and it gives us much pleasure to ac knowledge the many oourtesies received at the hands of this accomplished and handsome junior editor.
