gltC OmiVLQ Mtux. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, Aug. 21, 1801 A MURDERER AT BAY. A Sensational Affair at Hanover, New Hampshire. : By Telegraph to the Morning Star. i Hanover, N. H.. Aug. 20. Frank C. r Almy, the murderer of Christie War- ' den, was discovered in Warden's barn this morning. Almy fired fifteen shots at his pursuers and killed Azra Turner, of Norwich, Vermont. The barn has been burned, but whether Almy was shot or is in the ruins is not known at this writing. Later. The first report that War- ; den's barn; was burned was erroneous. Smoke from Almy's revolver gave the ; impression that the barn , was on fire. Chas. E. Stewart, a student at the State ; College, located Almy in the- hay by probing with a long-handled shovel. When ; he punched the hid- 1 den man a bullet was fired ud at him through the hay on which he ; stood. The concealed man continued firing, at te same time digging himself out of the hav. and fired at least fif teen shots at the searchers, driving ' them from the barn. Turner was not killed, as before reported, but only slightly injured. A council of war is : now being held as to the best means of dislodging the murderer, whose trial it is safe to say will not cost the county a ' cent, as Alniy will be shot at sight, - Hanover is again wild with excitement. JLatest Frank Almy has been taken alive, after one of the most exiting days that can be conceived of. He is confined in the upper story or the Whellock House. Half a dozen officers' with drawn revolvers stand at the foot of the stairs holding back the crowd. : Notwithstanding that little has been , said publicly a vigilant search has been constantly going on for Almy -since Monday evening MAIL ROBBERS. "Conviction" and Sentence of a Gang of Tlueves Who Have, Given Government Detectives Much Trouble. :- By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Aug. 20. The Post . office Department is advised from Farm vilie, Va., that Thos. Fon, alias Dennis Grunnell, and James Haley have been sent up for ten years,; each upon? the pleas of guilty, and that George Clark had been sent up for fifteen years, after having entered a plea of not guilty. Their crime was robbing the postoffice at Farmville, and their conviction and sentence is a source of much gratifica tion to officers of the Inspectors' Di vision of the Postoffice Department. They have given the inspectors a great deal of trouble by reason of their nu merous depredations on postoffices in small towns. 1 hese men, it is said, are members of a gang that robbed the postoffices at Charleston Wl Va., and ; Berryville, Quicksburgh, Sheridan, and Waynes boro, Va. Members of the gang are also connected with the robbery of the post offices and private establishments at Basic City and Grottoes, Va. Their de predations have not been confined to Virginia and West Virginia, but have extended to various;parts of Pennsylva nia. Several other members are still under arrest, awaiting trial, two of them are in Philadelphia and the -others are in Virginia. .

Later official ad vices received here this afternoon an nounce that the calamity which has visit ed Martinique is the most severe since the year 1817. The disaster is said to equal the famous cyclone which sweDt over the island of Antigua in 1871.

At St. Pierre, five persons are known to have been killed. Communication with different parts of the island was never an easy matter, and it is exceedingly difficult to get detailed news at present, .As reports from' the various sections reach St. Pierre, it be comes evident that the extent of the hurricane's devastations has not been exaggerated. The destruction of Dro perty and loss of life is reoorted from an parts ol the coast. - . imenun ten Jives were iosi.
