LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correapondence of the York*llle Enquirer. Chester, December 24.?A horrible mui der was brought tc light in the lower edge c town yesterday morning. A negro woman li\ ing not far from Blake's nursery, on the Colum bia road, went out to get her cow early in th morning and discovered the dead body of negro lying beside a footpath. The man wa lying on his back, his head in a slight depres sion of the ground, while all about the hea^ lay scattered eighteen or twenty bloody stones some large and heavy, with which the dar deed had been done. The skull and face wer crushed and beaten until the features wer scarcely recognizable, while a big pool of bloo< covered the ground beneath the head, extend ing some distance down the slight slope wher the victim was lying. The man was a big bui ley negro, with a thin straggling beard abou the chin. He had on a fairly good coat am Eants of a rough striped cloth. Near by sa is dinner bucket, a bundle of clothing and a old gripsack. An investigation was begun at once, and i was learned that a large party of negro laboi ere had come in on Sunday from Winder' grading camp near Broad river. The ma was evidently one of the party. Eight or te arrests were made and Coroner Evans bega his inquest. Several of the arrested men ha a good supply of money, one fellow showin up $85. Most of them had drawn their wage /\? Kn!* TX'QTT V?Amn + OH O&turuuy nuu v*oio u 11 viivi4 i? wj .......v North Carolina. The dead man had evidently been one of tb party and had been killed for his earnings o else in a gambling brawl. The investigation however, was singularly bare of results yestei day. It was very plain that a most dastardl crime had been committed, and it was ale very evident that there was great need of a expert to conduct the investigation. The sua pected men all professed to know very little and the further the matter went the less ligb seemed to shine. The name of the dead ma: has not come out yet, although it appears tha it was Ed, and that he was a blacksmith wh came in with a wagon party of seven on Sun day, and that gambling was going on in th party. The jury held another session thi morning and continued their work until nearl; 3 p. m., when they adjourned to meet agai! Friday morning at 10 o'clock. There is stronj suspicion pointing towards one or two of th men under arrest, but the matter is not at al clear. - * - The rooms of the Chester Young Men's Chris tian association were thrown open on Thurs day night. The rooms, three in number, in eluding reading room, parlor and gymnasi um, are in the Brandt building, and are wel furnished, the parlor being especially attract ive.
