Lord Roscoe is the leader of the

Homicide In Naan county
A correspondent, "P. L. F-, writes us
from Whitaker'a of a terrible homicide that
took place In Nash county last Saturday,
the 8th Inst. A colored man by the name
of George Jones, who lives in Edgecombe,
had a quarrel with his wife, when the latter
left him and went to the bouse of her
brother, one Hilliard Bryant, living on the
plantation of Col. W. D. Harrison, about
three and a half miles from Butleboro'.
George Jones pursued her, and appeared
at the house of his bi other in-law, armed
with pistol and bowie-knife, and demanded
his wife. Bryant ordered him not to enter
his yard. Jones retorted that he had come
to kill some one or have bis wife, one or
the other, and walked into the yard, where
upon Bryant dealt him (Junes) a heavy
blow on the head with a hoe, broakiog the
skull, from the effects of which Jones died
in about three hours. Bryant had not been
arrested at last accounts.
Aliased Insecurity of Fourib Street
Bridge.
The opinion seems to be very general on
the part of people living In that part of the
city known as "Brooklyn," that the foot
bridge oyer the railroad on Fourth street is
not safe, and this feeling of insecurity will
continue until something is done in the way '
of strengthening it. A resident of that
section informed us yesterday that only
those who are ignorant of its condition
now cross on the foot bridge, the others
taking the bridge intended for vehicles, ex
cept wheu they go over the other inadver
tantly. We call attention to this fact in
ordir that some action may be taken in the
matter, for, whether the danger is exagge
rated or not, the feeling of insecurity exists,
and measures ought to be taken to allay it.
On the other hand, it the insecurity does
really exist, as is claimed, a terrible acci
dent may possibly result if something is
not done to. prevent it Let competent
mechanics examine the bridge and report
st once on its condition.
Barry Closing.
We hear of a movement on foot usual

rangement on or about the 15th inst, and
to continue it in effect until the 15th of Sep

be had for recreation during the summer
months.

DR. EUGENE GRIjSOH'S ADDBESS.
At night a very fine audience of ladies
and gentlemen assembled to hear the an
nual address, by Dr. Eugene Grissom, Su
perintendent of the Insane Asylum. The
President of the Stale Medical Con
vention, Dr. Shaffner, introduced the
speaker, announcing that his theme was
"Medical Science in Conflict with Material
ism. " It was a great intellectual perform
ance from first to last. It was very elab
orate, very learned; indicating a wide read
ing both in science, philosophy so called,
and In some departments more purely liter
ary. It was an acute, forcible, able, and
conclusive refutation of evolution of ma
terialism as set forth by Darwin and his
followers. It vindicated the truth of God's
laws, glorified man, and established to our
satisfaction that we are col the descendants
of gorillas, being simplyendowed with
immense monkey-power. Darwin and
company may derive satisfaction from a
conviction aad consciousness that they are
the sons of the ape, but the learned and
able speaker convinced us that the re
mainder of us are sprung from one com
mon ancestor, Adam
"Who brought death into the world and
all our woe."
We have not space to present a bare out
line of the remarkable effort of Dr. Gris
som. it was not onlv scientific, learned
and able, but the severity and vigor of logic
were relieved by many beautiful and even
splendid rhetorical passages that glowed
With imagination and were adorned with
those graces which only 'a reverence for the
true and noble and good can supply. It
was a manly, earnest and powerful protest
against those scientific heresies which rob
man of bis immortality, the lost soul of a
Saviour and the world of a God. It was
full of "sweetness and light," and we thank
the speaker for the rare intellectual feast
which he laid before us.
