Adultery. Murder and Suicide
A Fearful Domestic Tragedy
Art Awful Ending to Illicit
Liove.
On Thursday, the 2.h ult., a
few
miles from
n- d nW it T!
nt,, and near the South Carolina
Jn.e, occuned one of those terrible , ed to saving contiguous property from i is not what he savs, but what he does, not what he advfierti
doraestic tragedies which shock the j destruction. The flames ignited the!
communities m which they take place j LmttR one story frame storehouse on ! es. but what he performs, not what he claims, but in the re-
and which are a legitimate ending of an
unholy and illegitimate love.- The facts
connected with the case whieh termi
nated, so far as two of the actors wre
concerned, in a brutal murder and de
liberate suicide on the day and at the
place mentioned, are about as follows:
Mr. J. P. Ward and Mr. Eiisha
Prince were neighbors who lived but a
short distance from each other, and
both were intelligent and well-to-do
farmea-s. They. were also brothers-in
law. Ward having married a sister of
Prince. Tbe relations between the
two men and their families had been
amicable and pleasant until about two
years ago, when it was whispered that
an improper intimacy existed between
Ward and the wife of Prince. These
rumors soon became so much of a
certainty that bad blood was engender
ed and bitter animosity was aroused
between tbe men. Recently Ward and
Mrs. Prince eloped together and wen1
as far a3 Savannah, Ga., but
soon after arriving in that city
the guilty pair saw, in one of their
rambles, a car load of coffins, which im
pressed them with the idea that a ter
rible epidemic was in progress, and
they were so mucJ frightened that they
immediately returned to their old
homes in Columbus county. Upon re
turning home, the guilty woman, now
deeply penitent and sorrow-stricken,
promised anew her fidelity to her hus
band, soon joined the church, and was
in all respect3 a reformed woman.
This conduct on tho part of Mrs.
Prince irritated and enraged the blindly
infatuated Ward to that degree that he
armed himself on the day mentioned
with a loaded revolver, a double-barrelled
shot gun, charged with buck
shot, two phials ot laudanum and a
phial ol opium, and thus prepared he
went to a convenient place and hid in
ambush awaiting the appearance of his
wronged brother-in-law, and when the
latter' appeared, quietly pursuing his
work. Ward stepped from his place of
concealment and discharged the shot,
gun, theemire load, consisting ot : ten
buckshot, taking efiect in Prince's
breast. The latter attempted to run to
his house, but had gone only a lew
steps when be fell to the ground a
corpse.
Ward then left and, alter going a
hort distance, he met a neighbor to
whnm he stated that he had killed
Prince and that he intended to kill him
self by taking poison. At this junc
ture two other neighbors arrived and
attempted to prevent Ward from carry
ing bis threat into execution, but he
held them at bay with his loaded re
volver, aud drained the fatl contents
of the phial, after which he went to his
home and slebt away in a few h')urs a
blasted, but hitherto useful life.
Mr. Prince was i quiet, inoffensive
11
man. uotn men were warned nnu
leave wives and children and both
were buried on tbe same day, in the
same cemetery- I Just before bis death
Ward gave a long letter to his wife, to
be delivered to Mrs Prince, in which
he expressed bis great love for the lat
ter and regretting that she had forsak
en him.
Failed in the Attempt.
We bear of a lady in this city who
this forenoon called upon one ot her
neighbors and while in her friend's
house, looked out at the widow and
noticed that one of the windows in her
own kitchen was hoisted. She im
mediately started to see what was the
matter, and iust as she bad reached the i
gate leadiog to her residence a colored
woman ran out and tioegcu around a
corner out of sight. The lady then
entered the kitchen and found that a
lot of provisions had been stolen. A
further examination showed that a
basket, belonging also to the lady, hsd
been taken and placed outside the win
dow and into this tbe provisions bad
heen Dot. but all had- been left in tbe

Sunday Morning s Fir.
i
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning 1
fire was discovered in an unoocoDied one I
story frame dwelling house on Harnett
street, near the corner ot Seventh. Tbe
j alarm was sounded and the firemen
we on nano wiin ine.r usua prompt,-
tuoe. hut thfi fi a)1ip5 had ornTtnn sunk
I . . 1 m .
! ewk' lbat building was entirely
! destroyed, and their ITorta wro rlSmt-
the corner of Harnett and Seventh i
streets and also te one story frame
dwelling adiacenr on Seventh street
by colored people and both were badly
damaged. All tbe buildings were the
property of Mr. S. H. Terry, of the po
l:cc force. The two dwellings were in
sured for $125 each and the storehouse
for $50. making an insurance of $300,
all in the Niagara Fire Ins. Co.. ot New
Yorkt represented in this city by
Messrs Johh W. Gordon & Smith.
The fire was undoubtedly tbe work of
an incendiary.
The Moon In February.
The February moon lulls on the 28th
at 11 o'clock in the evening, so that we
come within an hour of having no full
moon in February. On the 3d, three
days before the last quarter, the moon
is in conjunction with Uranns. This
means that the planet and moon are
at the time in the same right ascensions
or longitude, although one maybe sev
eral degrees north or south of the other.
On the I3th, 18 minutes past 5 o'clock
in the morning, the moon is inconjuno
tion with Venus, and twenty-four min
utes later she is at her nearest point to
Mercury. On the 14th, the dayiof her
change, she is in conjunction with
Mar9. on the 21st with Neptune, on the
23rd with Saturn, and on the 28th with
Jupiter.
The mcon occults a few small etars
as she makes her monthly circuit, the
phenomena being visible in this portion
ot the earth's territory. These occulta
tions are interesting to watch, but the
stars are so small that a telescope is re
quired for the observation.
