Minerva Howard, a colored woman was killed Tuesday morning, 12th instant about ll o'clock by the freight train or the Blue Ridge Railroad, at Dr. W. B Browning's place, near Seneca. Sh( lived lit Spencer Stegal's place, and wa; returning from Seneca, where she hac done some trading that morning. Sh( wa walking at first on the track of thc Air Line Railroad, and having noticec the Air Line freight train approaching she stepped aside and took her stand or the Blue Ridge track; but she seems nol t->.have noticed the Blue Ridge freight train, which had pulled out from Senccs about the same time as the Air Lin? freight. Her whole attention was cen tered upon the Air Line train, and she was standing with her back toward the advancing Blue Jiidge train. As soon as .the engineer saw her danger he blew the whistle and did all in his power to attract her attention, but in vain. The point was a heavy down grade and the train coule not be stopped. She was standing abou .; the center of the track when the engine struck and knocked her about fifty feet, killing herinstantly. Coroner Hendon was on his way to Seneca and was near the scene of the accident at the time He immediately impannelied a jury of inquest, and after taking tho tes tinony of all eye witnesses, including : Engineer Madden, who was running the I fatal engine, the jury returned a verdict tfcat the deceased came to her death by accident, and no blaine attached to any ?.one. * About six illicit -distilleries have been [captured in the mountains by A. p.*Mer> frick and posse during the last two weeks. I Mrs. Thomas A.

"~as, and, taking the child in , ?her arms, tdidthe child ?> lay her-arms around her neck and kiss. her, and then gaye her full directions as to where her clothes were. .. The rnild, suspecting what her mother's intentions were-, com menced a close watch of her actions to prevent her frc m taking her life if pos sible, but the child soon forgot it and was . in the yard playing. Thinking .of her j mother, she ran in the house, but it was j too late. The mother was already dead. I The family was at home as usual. Mrs. j McCarley has attempted to take her life j twice before. She was about forty years j old and a member of rhe Presbyterian j church. She had been in ill health for some time and at intervals had been trou bled with mental aberration. . Mr. Mc Carley said he was not surprised at all, as h? had expected it for some time. The South Carolina Presbytery. Thc South Carolina Presbytery met, ac j cording to appointment, in tho Presbyte rian church at Walhalla on Thursday ! last, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. Thc I attendance was good, notw* .nding the inclemency of theweaiL . I Kev. J. W. McClure, of Smyrna church, Newberry county, the retiring Modera ; tor, ?lelivcrec? the opening sermon. The j Presbytery was then called to order by j him,- and Kev. J. G. Henderson, of Cokes ; bury, was elected Moderator. The day \v:is consumed principally in hearing re ' ports and dispatching it^atter-of-coursc business. Kev. Dr. Kiley delivered an impressive sermon on Thursday night. Friday was devoted, from an early to a very late hour, in disposing of the more i important business of the session. A discussion arose over the recommenda tion of thc Genend Assembly in sending down certain forais, including those of marriage, funeral service, and for other purposes. It was a mere recommenda tion that paste s might usc these forms ii they saw proper to do so. The dis cussion was interesting and continued for some time : om- side protesting against forms generally, and the other favoring the action of the General Assembly. The action of the General Assembly, in sending thc forms, &ei, down to the churches, was sustained by a majority of two in a standing vote of forty-two. Kev. W. T. Mathews, of Greenwood, introduced a blank form for organizing ladies" foreign missionary societies in thc various churches in the Presbytery. This form was not to be obligatory, but looked to uniformity and a wider field of usefulness. Under this form male mem bers of the church could become mem bers of the society. Another discussion was indulged in. some of the members maintaining that the societies already or ganized were a success, and that there was no real necessity for so many forms. Thc proposition of Mr. Mathews was adopted. Kev. J. M. Plowden, of " Edgefield," offered a resolution in which he took high ground in favor of temperance. The resolutiondragged.*' There was very little discussion. Dr. J. S. Cozby was very decidedly in favor of temper ance, but thought it better to adopt the deliverance of the General Assembly on this subject. This course was adopted by a lar<re majority, and the deliverance of the General Assembly in relation to : this matter will probably appear in the S minutes. One of the most interesting incidents, connected with the proceedings of Pres- j bytery. wa.? the application, of Willam"! Wyly, a youth of sixteen, s??j bf ~Mr. J. c -O'----- * Jxo .cii, action in .s e\ ?dence that the ay very lovable quali almost every way very l'"t"."'"" -ac applicant was received by an almost unanimous vote. Presby tery adopted ajcui? governing the admis sion ot* young men in the future who apply to be taken under the care of Pres bytery. Friday evening was devoted mainly to speeches in favor of f(?reign missions by Drs. Frierson and Cozby and Revs. T. C. Ligon and W. T. Mathews. A collection realized the fact that a small sum was ob tained, much smaller than usual on these occasions. Kev. W. T. Mathews and Elder R. E. Ko-on were elected delegates to the General Assembly, with Dr. J. S. Cozby and Elder J. M. Pickens alternates. After a spirited contest Pickens was selected as thc place, and Saturday, thc first day of October next, as the time for holding the next meeting of Presbytery. The Presbytery was in session only two days. Thc people of Walhalla very reasonably expected that Prcsbylery would continue its sessions during the week, and were much disappointed when tho adjournment came at the end of thc second day. \ Dr. Frierson delivered an admirable sermon on Saturday at ll o'clock in the forenoon, and Kev. Hugh M .-Lees preach ! ed on Saturday night. j On Sabbath morning there was preach ing in thc Baptist church by Dr. Cozby, ; in the Methodist church by Rev. Mr. ! McClure, and in the Presbyterian church ; by Kev. Mr. Henderson, the Moderator. Thc communion of the Lord's Supper : was administered at the Presbyterian : church, and a large number of persons i partook of the sacrament. At night Dr. Cozby preached an able ! and edifying sermon in the Presbyterian j church to a large and attentive eorgrega j tion. I Easter Service hi Lutheran Church.

BIRMINGHAM, AXA,, April 12.-When Northbound freight train No. 72 on the Louisville and Nashville Road reached Wilhite, a small station in Morgan county, this morning, four negroes attempted, in broad daylight, to break open a sealed car.

The negroes fired at them, without, however, doing any damage, j At Falkville officers were notified and went in search of the robbers. A mile j awaj the gang was encountered and rc-1 fused to surrender. A pitched battle ensued, in which Tom Wright, one of ; the robbers, was killed. Tom Randall and Henry Williams were arrested.

Latham ?fe Alexan ders estimate was 19,979,000 acres, or 2 1-10 per cent above the census. The Finanrial Chronicle estimate was 20,309, 0S0, or 3 S-10 per cent above the census statement. The Department estimate is the lowest and also the nearest to the census. The commercial estimates come from dealers and are high, while the growers, though urged to be accurate, are slightly ^conservative in their own interests. ' This sustains the Depart ment's contention that its "estimates are not exaggerated and cannot injure the j farmers." McELBErS WINE OF CARDUI for Weak Nervei.

No trains have run to Memphis over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Road for a week. In one place the road is washed out for half a mile, and trains cannot be run for many days yet. In Marion county large iron bridges across tho creeks and bridges were swept away. Near Pearson's Mill, John Livingston and two children,, while crossing the creek in a wagon, were swept away and drowned. Eight miles South of Carbon Hill two women were drowned. A man from Columbus, Miss., says twenty-five families are believed to have perished by the doods around that place. Near Greenwood 1,200 feet of tae Geor gia Pacific track was washed away. At Gadsden, Ala., the Coosa River is, forty feet above low water mark, and hundreds of acres South of the town are j submerged. Many rafts of timber have | been lost and damaged, amounting* to | thousands of dollars. JACKSON, MISS., April 12.-The firstj through train of thc Illinois Central fori a week passed herc to-day.

Thc week opened with tho startling news of the New Orleans fire, *""L:Ah caused an advance of some 10 points, lost almost as immediately as more reliable news of the quantity of cotton burnt was received. Since then the chief point of interest has been thc crop movement. We are able for a third week in succession to report smaller receipts than for the corresponding weeks of last year, and wc must confess that our belief in a crop Of 9,000,000or over has been rather shaken by these figures. We still believe that there is enough cotton in the country to reach the above limit, but we will say candidly that if wo have light receipts two weeks longer wc shall luwer our crop estimates. As illustrating the difficulty of arriving at correct collusions, we copy the fol lowing from recent circulars of Messrs. Atwood, Violett & Co., of New Orleans: MOIST PLEASANT, TEXAS.-There is not more than 5 per cent of crop still to come forward in Eastern Texas and Northern Louisiana : crop prospects bad: out look for large crop gloomy: estimate of crop S,S50,000; planting fully 20 per cent less than last year. NAVASOTA. TEXAS.-Cotton in farmers' hands in Texas. 350,000 to 400.OOO, and no telling how much in warehouses: n<> decrease in acreage: newland taken '. again this year, crop and prices of '.'2-90 will not be reduced any more than was that of 91-92. MARSHALL, TEXAS.-Little cotton on hand: buyers all lett and farm work much behind. RALEIGH, N. C.-'Lots of cotton in the country, and as f<>r talk of reduction of acreage, it is all humbug: There will be just as much cotton as last year. These are samples of the conflicting news that reaches us and makes it difficult to form a correct idea of the situation. On the whole, and while a renewal of heavy receipts would cause a fresh decline tn prices, we would rather advise purchases on any break of importance, relying on decreased acreage and bad weather during the summer. The market Ls very nervous and short sales would only be advisable for very quick turns.
