On Friday week, nt Gainesville, Clark county, Ala., a young lady named Carrio Dover, eovonteen years old, was waylaid while on her way home from a neighbor's. She wass funud dying willi a bullet hole in the back of her neck and with her skull crushed in. A broken gunstock, with blood upon it, was found lying in the road. Tho gunstock was recognized as belonging to Alexander Iteid. a lieirro livimr CJ*- - * * '"O near at hand. The barrel of the broken gun H as founrl in his house. It had blood and hair upon it. lleiri Hod whon tho avengers eaino to look for lihn. Tho people of Clarke and adjoining counties,both whites and blacks, organized a hunt for the murderer. Tho river bunks had been scoured and ovcry avenue of o*capo cut off. The blacks were as eager as tho whiles to catch the murderer. Two negroes captured him at tho county line. When captured a guard was placed over Kent, who was placed in chains and marched to Gainestown. People along tho road demanded that Iteid should bo ynched, but the guard replied that he must ho taken to tho sceno of his crime. The guard, then numbering two hundred men, reached Gainestown with tho prisoner at 8 o'clock Sunday niornir-'g. Tho prisoner maintained sullen silenco till Sunday, when he confessed his guilt. Then lie said that ho had not intended to kill tho young lady, but that his gun went off accidentally and wounded her. Soeinir that ho win in for it m?v. how, lio heat out her brains with tlio stock of the gun. Tho crime', it will be remembered was one of great atrocity.

" After the arrival of Reid and the guard at Gainestown it was evident that but short shrift would he allowed him. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon a crowd of five hundred persons white and black, took the prisoner out on the road near tho spot where the murder had been committed and chained hint to a tree, liiacKs ami whiles piled lightwood about thr: miserable criminal, and when the pile was breast high one among thorn applied the torch. As tho flames shot upward I he negro gavo shrieks of agonv. The crowd seeing the smoke and flames enveloping him, did not wish him to die so easily. They scattered the brands and the man was seen writhing in agony. Onco more a pile oft' light wood was constructed and thn flmntvu oimmnf "? "i" ''"n i,r briskly scorching the negro terribly. Before they becamo fatal, however, tliey were vgain subdued, and again the doomed wretch was seen convulsed with terror and pain. The third time the pilo was lighted it was allowed to do its work, and the body of Rcid was completely rcduccd to ashes. The crowd then dispersed to their homes. This is the second incident of the kind in the same place. About seven years ago a neuro nreacher who ninr dered an old liidy niid a little boy and assaulted a youn# girl was in a similar manner tied to the stake and roasted to death.
