he met two mini who Infermed him that

whero he would pass. Unnn arrlvimr at
the place he alighted from hut herse, mero
te MiitlHfy hlc idle curieHity tlnti te make
any btarllin discovery.
When he reached the nite el the cabiu
the (Irttt. tiling that met ids ai was a
blackened htiinau heart, lyicir toethcr
with aoute charred bones and fragments
of llesh In a heap of ashes, Ilorrltled at
the dlicevery. thn carrier continued tlm

the mother nml a child lying with a frag
ment of a breast bone and several ribs.Tlie
woman h ckttll had the appearance of
having been crushed in with aome heavy
instrument, probably a crowbar, which
was found lying near by.
As seen as the mail carrier realized the
full imporUnce of his ghastly discovery
he give tlm nlarra, and seen ever a hun
drcd f.iriniis had gathered from the sur
rounding country. A. thorough invustiga
tien was set en feet, but nothing throwing
any light en the perpetrators of the crlme
was discovered.
It is supposed the cabin was burned down
en Last -unday night, nnd a heavy snow
falling the next day, obliterated every traee
of the murderers and lneendiarinn. In
December of last year a similar raystorietts
tragedy ecenred in Randelph county, re
suiting in the death of Adam Currouce
and his thrce children The perpetrators
of this erime were never dixenvered, and
this parallel case ban excited much com

Thcre were a great many points in the

be imitated with profit by modem olllee
holders. Ue never ledu en a lailre.ul

did hu permit any of his relative, friends

The tirm of Ames I) Smith i. Ce., iu
Providence, It I , has f.ii.d, with liablll
tics cstlmr.tcd at upwards of a million
dollars. The assignment was placed en
record Wednesday aftoriieou. The firm
manufactured cotton goods and their fall fall
ure was caused by the dopressod condition
of cotteu inanufaaturlnir interust. Tliev
had been working for hjiue time en a large
indebtedness and nn insufficient active
capital. The linn held a considerablo
amount of preperty, but its market value
Is uncertain. The llrm have cotton mills
nt Merine, in Crolen, Ueun., and In Woon Weon Woen
soekot. They have ritu the " Franklin
mauufncturlng cenipany, the Dextcr
mill, iu Providenee, and had an interest
iu the Providenco steam mill, and thelr
fallure will involve the suspension of the
steam mill company, the Oreten company
aud the Franklin manufacturing company.
The llrm ran in all 87,000 ("pludles.
The liabilities are held largely by banks
iu Provideuco aud vicinity, although just
exactly what firms cannot be ascortained,
n all who are intcrestcJ are very reticcnt.
The assignees are tteyiU 0. Taft, Francis
W. Carpenter and Kugcne W. Masen. A
meeting of the creditors has been called te
dcoide upon proper action, The uews of
the failuie was te sorae extent anticipated.
Could the llrm have worked eir its surplus
stock at any reasonable profit the calamity
would have been averted, but cotton
goods have been a drug in thu market for
a long time.
The firm was eitabllsktu many jears
