He says ho really hopes that the grand jurv will act that way, that it will only make the legislature more prone to act decisively, lie rays that in doing thin way the people (here will ainiply be * damming up the waters that will finally wipe them away. In the course of his conversation the governor gave the impression that the legislature would nt ilie coming session be asked . to create a dispensary recorder's court in the various cities, which will not permit a trial by jury to offcndois, but will permit (he judge on a prima facie showing to sentence each offender and fine liioi. It secins that if this method is not resorted to then there will he nn amendment to the existing laws made so that the Stale can obtain a change of venue before a true bill is found in the offender's county, leaving the grand Jury of whatever county the case may be transferred to pass upon the case. Tuain Wreckers Work.? Birmingham, Ala , Sept. 22.?A southbound limited express on the Queen and Crescent route wus wrecked si 1 o'clock this morning nineteen miles north of Birmingham. The wreck occurred on a curve and embankment. One end of tho rail had been displaced by removal of fish plates. Near by lay tools which had beeu stolen from the section hout'O at SomcrviBc, seven miles awav, and with which the rails had been tawn uti. The engine leaped frotn I lie truck down the | embankment. In so doing tho cngiucer ami firemen were hurled awny nut of nil danger The posltil end baggage cani were piled on top of the engiue and crushed like egg shells The express messenger was imprisoned in tho wrecknge, hut got out unhurt. The train being vestibu'ed, none of tho conchos or sleepers, of which there wore five, turned over. The train was full of people coining from the World's I'air, none of whom were hurt. Fireman Walter Waile has his shoulder b'ade broken; engineer Fraley hurt in the shoulder and eye cut; Mptui clerk .1. S. Hlockton badly cut in then# id; fireman Tom Jlailey hurt in back: porter llowell cut. All of the injured wore brought here to tho hospital. Superintendent Fraser and Slioritr Morrow wore at the scene of wreck with hlood hounds nfter the supposed wreckers. It is thought tho wreckers hud a grudge against the road ou account of some law suits or omethiug of tho kind. A Mii.lisr.a in Hiuii Lick.?Mrs. Cyrus W. Field. Jr., went to tho Curtis millinery cslahl shmeiit in Fifth Avenue, next to the Pelmonico's, yestcrdry afternoon, and began to lake nil active part in the management of iiic outlines:) in wuicn dug nns tin interest. A World reporter called at lier home, No. 150 West Sixty-fifth street, and found |lier in n joyous mood. She said : "I have beguu my new career, and although I was not brought up to business 1 ViiVgeT as all my friends are so kind to me. I shall not do much ui til after October 1, when we are going to hare nn oponing at the store. Then 1 shall get right down to work. It is not my intention to attempt to make any changes in tho business as yet. for I do not know enough about it. If we do not do well tliero will bo nothing to blame but the bonnets. "llsrd times do not nllec! American women. American men are the best and biggest hearted men in the world. Times may ho hard and business bad, yet they would rather go without coats on their hacks than to refuse to buy their wives new bonnets and dresses. I wish all men were like tho American men." All the while that slto spoke Mrs Field laughed and joked. If her disposition in business is as genial, she will make a for tune. ?? llKLiutors Intolkuanck.?

Il is certainly spps'liog to read the s so?nl? it the daily papers of tb? lawleesnc mi mmii to be abroad lb the land, boi North ami South. For the past two months very near erri Isily paper that has been Us tied, contaii in aeeount of the eomtniss'on of some atr eiotis crime, uolll now the deeslogae is abet exhausted. nre we drifliog into barbarism f U i ire, then the' boost of American del! lotion should cease, and oar ehurobhs as lobool houses should be pulled down, 01 lystem of justice abolished, and let every mi establish unto himself a code of law *ai norals, for we are not advanciog in civilian ion, and our ehurcbei, school* nod I'courl ire becoming n) parody in tbo slfcht of tb >ut*id? world. Of course, neither civilization, society no lie institutions oi learning can put a stop he individual committing crime, as it is in lossible for human agencies to chanj itiman nature, no hn?h the divine nuu hum* ?ws have been violated from tho beginuir if ihe world to the present time, and thei n*s will be violated through coining ages. But we must s<y that the individual con nitling crime, is quite different to what mown as mobs. In one case it is tho ind ilual. In the other it is people for whoa rotcciioo laws nrc enacted, and they alio; xcitemcnt and passion to control, and b< ome criminals themselves. Thus violatln lie very law that thsy to vindicate or after the criminal is put to death, or toi ured by a wild mob, the law has not bee indicated; the wild human passion is nlon ppensed, and the mqjesly of tho laws hti een insulted and trampled under f?ot. Many a poor wretch who was innocer as suffered nt the hands of an infuriate nob, when if lie had been given an impartu rial before a court, presided over by n mpartial Judge, ami an impartial jury I inss on his innocence or guilt, he would lift' >cen acquitted. In many instances the death peoall s inflicted by the mob, when the pu aliment prescribed by the law is on Imprisonment for ji limited number of yeat is in flic Roanoke case a few days ng which was au outrage of tbo deepest dy and one that will stand on record as beii ruin of itie ni'st brutish and iuhumau Ivnc ings that has ever taken place in a civilizi community, for the infuriated inob was n satisfied with having put the poor wretch death, hut must burn the body. It must be renumbered, that in t Honnoke erne, the law was trampl under foot, for the prisoner was in t hands of the officers of the law, ai in eudcavoring to protect hint scvci lives were sacrificed, and even no Mayor Trout is a rcfugeo from the city evade the vengeance of the mob, because the discharge of his duty he endeavored prot?ct the prisoner from the fury of t rabble. We can sec no excuse for the Roano lynching, and it is folly for the rabble to tempt to hold Mayor Trout responsible ] the sad occurrence. They are to blame the horrible nfl'nir. We must admit that tho history of t jhoin ..??!?.? V each case, except the lyneMng of Itiobai sou at Denmark, the crimes with which I parties stood charged wcro most heinous, n the penalty was death, and there was not shadow of doubt as to the guilt of the parti ami they received the punishment present by law. and which their heinous crin deserved. lint nvnn in fKiwn <*aoou if wmilil l?f been n.uch better to have let thu 1 take its course and thereby be vindicat than to have resorted to mob law. Hut it is not our purpose to cxoncri the people of our <i\vn Sls'.tc and condei the people of Virginia: but to ask the *p pie to consider ihe effect that such a cou will lead to, and the impression it makes the outside world, to say nothing ot the flection on our civilization. It becomes every g"?od citizen's duty put his seat of condemnation on lynch and lawlessness, let if be for whatever cr it may. The courts as established by ibe const tion are the ones to appeal to and not .lu Lynch, whose c nrt is organized by pass and in which the sentence is death, to pease passion. An Allotted Outrage Wc clip the following from tho Carol Spartan of this week : Monday while I he family was absen half-witted woman by the name of Carol Sherbuelt, near liranuon's 1*. <>., was < rageously assaulted by W. T. Lawsou v lives near Pncolet, in Union county, warrant was ])lnced in the hands of shoritr, who is using all diligence to mi the arrest. There seems to be no doubt to his guilt. The neighbors wore so inti naut that I hey thrca'eneil to lynch li when caught. We advise them to let t business alone, especially if Capt. 1)? takes charge of the prisoner. We will make no comments until J Lawsou is heard from, as we nndcrstri (hat he was arrested and carried to Sp tanburg Tuesday. ? ? Consolidated.

The little girl started up the steps with a kerosene lamp burning and before she reached the top of the stain she dropped the lamp which broke and the oil caught fire. The lit tie girl ran back without being burned, but in an instant tbe stairway was in a flame with the family cut off. The Doctor had the presence of jnind to throw some quilts over the blaze and eoon extinguished it. If the Doctor had been from borne, as be often is, the house would no doubt have beend estroyed and his family could only have been saved from the second , story.

Tick Lasii in Maryland.?Frederick, Md., Sept. 24.?"Within forty-eight hours the sheriff will take you to the county jail, iron you to the whipping post and inflict thirtynine lashes upon your back with a rawhide, as hard as he can lay it on." The above sentence was meted out to Daniel Jones, a prominent farmer of this county yesterday by Judge McSherry of the Circuit Court. Frederick county authorities have decided to enforce the law punishing wife-beaters with the lash, which still remains on the Maryland statute books, although it has not been enforced for nearly ten years. Jones was a month ago, convicted of brutal assault on his wife, prompted by insane jealousy. The woman was so severely injured ihatuke was unable to appear in court. The sentence has created the most intense excitement. Jones and his wile are members of old Maryland families, being connected by blood or marriage with many of the most influential people in this portion of the State. Everything that wealth and influcucc could do to prevent the infliction of the old colonial penalty was done, but without avail. The sentence is regarded by medical men as exceedingly severe. It has been the experience in Delaware that from eleven to seventeen lashes causes unconsciousness in a white man, but the sheriff, under the law, will be compelled to administer the whole thirty-nine. Jones will be the second white man who has been whipped in Maryland iu nearly one hundred years, the other case having occurred in Baltimore jail about ten years ago. Shot From Amdi'su.?Mr. Paul Wingard, a well known citizen of the upper portion of this county, reached the city yesterday morning with his clothing soaked in blood, which flowed from a wound in his body.
