the octraob.
On the night of the Mth of March last a Nhocklnji
and atrocious tragedy wan committed in this county.
The circumstances were of the most appalling character,
and manifested on the part of the perpetrators
truly savage and brutal bai barium. On that night,
in the lower part of the county, near a place called
Worth Head, on the llappahannock river, a store,
owned by a young merchant named P. \V. Payne,
wa-i entered at the dead hour of nndnlghr, tbe clerk,
Willie Jett, a mere boy, murdered, the store robbed
and then, together with tha body of the murdered
boy, burned. Such an event, ofccurrlng in a peaceful
neighborhood, produced a sensation like a thunder
clap in a clear sky, and the excitement throughout
the country was intense. At early dawn a large
erowd had assembled round tbe burned debris of
the store, out 01 which the charred bones of the
poor boy were taken. Everybody cried for vengeance;
but as yet no clue could be obtained as to
the perpetrators of the foul de Jd.
arrest of the parties.
Soon, however, as murder will out, the damning
evirii-iic >m of iruitt fimtpnnil H'.iMiilnion oil c>rtmn
colored desperadoes living in the vicinity, anil warrunts
were at once obtained for tneir arresi. A party
was at once organized here, and, being we 1
mounted, ihey started for ttie scene oi tue outrage.
Tno oittcer and party arrived at ttie burned rtore In
the afternoon, and" such di-position was at once
made of the force as to insure the capture of the robbers
and murderers. One squad approached the
houses of the suspected persons, while another took
a detour to the river bank In order to cut oir the
retreat of any who might attempt to escape. It was
now nlgui, and the ave..geis of ulood had not long
been In position wttea those at the river, m the
liadow of the overnangimr trees, discovered a boat
saddling with muMed oars slowly down the river.
Indistinctly two men could be seen In the boat, which
was hailed when about twenty yards distant. Upon
this tne men in the boat at once sprang into the
river and began swimming for the opposite shore to
escape cap ure. But their pursuers wero not to bo
foiled. Two shots were lired at them irom fowling
pieces, but they still continued to swim, it was at
this juncture it was leared they would escape under
cover ol the darkness. With great Intrepidity, however,
Captain spillman ran out into the river, which,
fortunately, was not deep, readied the boat, Into
which he gut, and called 10 tl.e men, whose heads
alone were above tne water, to surrender, or lie
would shoot mem down. As soon as ttie party at
the houses heard the tiring they rushed Into the
houses and a man ran past them, who was fired at,
but without eilect, and hi; escaped Hi the darkness.
They at oace hastened to the nver, and by their aid
the two desperadoes who were endeavoring to
escape were secured. These were found to be respectively
William Taylor and Warren Taylor, bof.
large, athletic colored men, and noted, desperate
characters. So fearfully excited were some of the
captors that It \v>is with diiilcujty the ollicers could
restrain them from
lyvent N O
the murderers, who were consequen'iy defiant and
insolent In their demeanor. The other man, who
Was shot at white runniinr from one of thu houses
wiiere the gang lived, was George Miller, a youn^
negro thief, about, seventeen years ot age, a frequent
inmate of the county jail. In the ooat was loumt
several bags ol merchandise ol every varie.y usually
to be found in a country store, which hail dlcu taki u
from the burned building. It was well known that
others were Implicated in the outrage, and a portion
of the capturing party at once went to make a
search, In doing which they had to make u circuit or
mauj miles through the heaviest easterly rain storm
and darkest night ever experienced hi any of them.
By next uay all the persous concerned lu the fiendish
act wero apprehended and lodged in the jail lure
under charge of the keener. The n uiiui of the
others were William Green, f anny Tailor, Mary
Taylor and Keuben Mill. Upon examination it was
found that both the men taken in the river were
wounded, though not seriously. Tiiey at once received
tjje attention of a physician ami under careful
tfeatnleul soon recovered, ijoyn nftci wards two
'of the prisoners ? *
confessed
the crime. One of them, George Mil'.er, the young
n^gro, said th*t he and William Taylor went to the
Kuie after midnight; that he was lu the habit ol'
b<lng tucre at a.l hours and was quite iamilUar with
the little clcrk Jett. He found uo difficulty In Inducing
the clerk to rise and light his iami> for the
purpose of selling htm a vial of oil lor a sick child, as
no said, as soou as the door was open they rushed
in and ai tacked Jett. Jett then (led through another
door Into tue road, endeavoring to escape. Ho was
fmrsued and tieat^n over ttkeheadwli.lt a gun until
naensible or dying. He was ttun dragged into the
tore still breathing and left there. Tne murderers
then went home for others to assist tn carrying oir

oil and set It on /Ire. The store was situated ou a
lonely roadside remote from any hmuau habitation,
atfordlng every opportunity lor the perpetration ol'
uch a crime.
TtJE TRIAL
of the criminals took place on the 6tn of May before
Judge J. B. Jen. recently elected, it being his
maiden court. He had a stormy Initiation. In addition
to the seven culprits Indicted for this crime
there wub a woman charged with infanticide, all of
these maleiactors being colored.
The evidence was lull and convincing: for, besides
the open admission of two of the murderers, there
were ottier ample proo.s. Commonwealth's Attorney
F. C. 3. Hunter conducted the prosecution with
marked abllltv. Able lawyers were assigned by the
Court for the dcfencc, and during the trial the court
mom wai constantly crowded by an excited and
deeply Interested audience. Sentence of death was
passed upon William Taylor, Warren Taylor and
George Miller. Fanny Taylor was sentenced to the
Penitentiary for a term of fourteen years, Mary
Taylor and Wiiliatn Crecr lor terms of eight years,
and Reuben Hill was acquitted. Hmce, however, Governor
Walker has coinmuied the sentence of George
Jiiiler, on account of nis youth, to imprisonment for
life in the Penitentiary, and lie has respited Warren
Taylor for sixty days.
J'rlor to the trinl aud conviction of these miscreants
a spirit of lawlessness and violence prevailed
among the negroes in the entire section ot me Northern
Nerk, whiun culminated in this terrible crime.
The arrest, suinmaiy trial and sentence, Uowever,
bad a most salut.iry effect In resti ring iaw and order;
but since the commutation of the sentence
of Mil.er and the respite of Warren
Taylor tJio negroes seem to be impressed

and outrage with impunity. To-day thoy did not

of the Methodist Church, preached his funeral sermon
from the steps of the jail to a large audience

listening to h;s deatn sermon, tne most
interested hearer of all. When this was

harangued the crowd iu the negro vernacular
for nearly naif an hour, int.uduclng a hvinn, In
which the colored j oitlon of h,s audience joined
with much spirit and wild fervor. After this the

Arrived at the loot of the scaflold lie ascended its
rude steps unaided, and knelt upon the drop, In company
with the kcv. Mr. Ba.vne, to pray. When me

have nothing more to say than i his?If my brother
Warner was present w lien the crime was c minuted

were several convulsive heavingsof the chest and attempts
to struggle, which were prevented i>y the

extinct, but the body was allowed to hang

Commerce.
Caracas, May 24.
A rupture between Holland and Venezuela Is
regarded ax imminent, and preparations are being
made for hostilities by both parties. It seams that
the Dutch mall steamer Honfleur, which carried
the malls between St. Thomas, Cura9oa,
L'jguayra and Forto Calello, was seized by
Guzman Blanco, who is cow virtually
President of Venezuela, lor having on board ammunition,
Ac., lor the Monagas party from Guiana,
and notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Consul
of his Majesty the King of Holland, who represented
to Guzman that when the Hontleur left her
port Monagas was President of Venezuela, and
Itliat consequently her arrival at Laguayra
with her cargo of munitions of war was
entirely legitimate, an I that the only thing the
laws of war allow him to do is to take that
part of the cargo consigned to his enemies, Guzman
still detains the vessel and refuses to let iter go. A
Dutch schooner, the Gatgo, was armed at Curaqoa
by the governor uf that island, and sent to Laguayra
to make a formal demand lor the release of the
lloileur, but Guzman refused to give her up, and
the schooner was compelled 10 return wuhout accomplishing
anything, as she was not of suthcient
force to take her out irom under the shore batteries.
Another Dutch vessel, a schooner, also from Unra<oa,
has been seized by Guzman on the same
grounds, 'l lie owner being here at the time made
himself known, and applied through tne consul for
tlie release of the vessel and his passport, both ol
which requests were refused without any reason
being assigned therefor by the government, Upon
[(lis rue c:nur<j?u Ajfau ex immediately ueinanueu 111s
passport and left the country.
A Dutch war steamer has been sent to Laguavra
to enforoe the demands of the Holland government,
and, as the Dutch say, to teach the Venezuelan, as
they did on a former occasion, that they do not allow
themselves to be trilled with. In this case they
may reckon without their host, for Guzman la a determined
man, and has no aifection lor the King of
Holland, who, It will be remembered caused him and
his lather to be driven from Curacoa on the demand
of Monagas, in March last.
Fioui Maracaibo we learn that an expedition was
fitting out to blockade Lagu.iyra under General Hernandez,
and irom i'orto Cabello that General Martinez,
who had been holding Valencia, had be.n
compelled by Guzman Blanco to fall back on the former
place, mucU to the astonishmentfof tlve Monagits
party. Tne people of I'orto Cabeiio, desiring to prevent
the shedding of innocent blood, petitioned to
hlui to give up the piuce, to wiucii Martinez
consented, and took a part of his troons on board
two government steamers, then lying In the port,
still holding the castlo with iho reu aluder, and when
Guzmau's troops marched into tiie towu on the -1st
opened a brisk tire on them, causing much damage
to property in the town. An armistice was ilna.ly
brought about through the intercession of the
commander of the North German gunboat Meteor,
then in port, and despatches have been sent to Monagas
asking if they shall carltulate. 'lhe foreign
Consuls have united la a pro.est against any further
bombardment,[and have,requested the foreign Ministers
to send any war ve.sssl that may be at command
to protect tuur Interests and to prevent any
further firing upon the defenceless town.
A decree has been issued by Guzman Blanco declaring
the ports of Maracaibo, Lavela and i'orto
Cabello closed against alt Commerce, of wnlch the
following Is a translation:?

The next step that should bo taken with the

balance at present of twenty millions, lie could,
were he bo disposed, make thai balance forty-Ave

availing himself ot the privilege given him by an

GOLI> LOWKR.
The gold market weakened under the intelligence
of the defeat of the Banks' Cuban resolution, and
the price declined fr^m 113>f to 112%. Here the
speculators for a decline, who had been expecting a
still lower market, suddenly suspended their operations
in consequence of the peremptory countermanding
of European orders to ship grain. It
seems that England and Fiance, which have been
vixlted with a severe drought, that threatened
very short crops, were treated to extensive showers
all last night, the effect of which has been
the transmission of cable despatches to-day
suspending the unlimited orders to our produce merchants
to send over ail the grain within their reach.
We doubt, however, whether this will more than
temporarily arrest the fall of gold, for the norma! influences
at work upon the m irket are too powerful
to_be overcome. As it was, gold ran back to 113, but
closed dually at l12%. The course of the market Is

In proportion. The general list, sharply declined In
sympathy, and priced went down a half to one anil
a half per cent. Later In the day Lake Shore led a
rally, which carried prices for most of the li-t back
to the former standard, the Central shares being the
most dilatory in this return movement. The movement
in Lake Shore Is simply a "flyer" on the part
of the Erie clique and a well known heavy operator.
The Vanderbilt party are not regarded as
being concerned in It. Tne ' movement in

the stock rose from 235^ to 26>?. In the miscellaneous

tne anxiety among tne stockholders as to the
safety of the Henry Chauncey, now overdue seven

the short sales of this stock made when the steamer
was tlrst dlscoverea to be unreasonably overdue.
But the "bulls," by some curious device, contrived
to have the arrival of the vessel bogusly reported in

more timid fellow stockholders. Now that the company

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Red bUirlciuss vs. Eekfords?.Score in Favor
of C'incliinivti.
The attendance at the ball ground to witness the
playing of tlie Red Stockings, though measurably
falling off, Is still greater man had been believed.
Yesterday upward of 2,600 people gathered at the
Union grounds, notwithstanding that the opinion
was universal the Eckfords (lid not stand the slightest
chauce of winning. The (Mine tvas a slow tin I
uninteresting one, more of the sociable character
than anytltiug else. It was not even a picture of
rv a v UB wa tha irnilt.nj.l.uf aiwl tlta i>iaiii.
iiera of the Union club present were made
dissatisfied because of tlio apparent ia'k
of interest stiown by the Rel Legs, compli ed
with the style of play shown by the Reds in the
contcst with them. To sum nu the whole the fieda
did poorly at the bat, the muidng of the Eckford.;
permitting, if all chances had been availed of,
double the number of runs scored by thelrjadversa- ries.
However, Williamsburg leols pleased, masmuch
as they are far from being the worst beaten
club the Reds have met here thus far. Hairy
Wright pitched throughout the game, and his inefficiency
In this department gave an opportunity fi r
run-scoring, which the EcKfords took most advantage
of. The whole play cannot be characterized as
good on either aide, as the score below will show

ind tho boat rapidly drifted towards the dam.
Bowdy, who was unable to swim, screamod out that
they would bo drowned, and be sprang overboard.
He succeeded In pulling himself a!on? the dam until
he reached the shore. Coyle and Carter remained
In the boat and went over the Society dam with It,

then, at the suggestion of some one who shouted
to him, swam for the share, and he avrlved
