They re turned on Thursday afternoon. with caution and saw the obstruction in time to check his speed, but not in time to avoid running into the dan gerous trap, but not with sufficient force to throw the train from the track. The bar was removed *and the train proceeded, hut not before Ike Bates was discovered and chased hack of the Levels Church to the house of Isaac Bates,^liis father, by Fletcher Robinson and two other colored men. Bates the elder resented tne intrusion and on Saturday came to Aiken and took out a warrant for the parties who pursued ids son. This is thought to have been done to disarm suspicion. On Sunday the Rail Road authorities, having worked up their case su.'li-i ciently, placed a warrant in the hands of constable Luther Holley who proceeded about 3 o’clock to Isaac Hates’ house to make the arrest. Ike Bates seeing him coming, jumped from a hack window and tried to make his escape, hut witli the aid of a drawn pistol his flight was checked and he was arre-ted ami taken to jail. No preliminary examination lias yet been held but we understand that Bates has made a statement to the effect Chat he wa- present with George Johnson,colored, at the time of the collision and that George Johnson placed the rail in po sition. Johnson has been arrested and is in jail. Persons who know both parties well are of the opinion that Bates is the m in and that John son probably had noildng to do with the transaction. \Ve forbear giving any details that may injure the ease of the State, as it is extremely impor tant that the author of this fiendish outrage, far worse- than a case ol individual murder, should be brought to justice and receive the ex treme rigor of the law. Messrs. Hen derson Brothers will represent the prosecution in the interest of the railroad and the Mate. This particular locality where this outrage occurred has been the seeneof other deeds of the sumo uttrncious character. Two years ago u similar attempt was made and tiie iron bar so twisted into the cow catcher that it was removed with difficulty. The engine was considerably injured hut fortunately no one Mas hurt, but the perpetrator of the crime was never caught.About oneyear ago a negro was sent to the penitentiaryfor hurling iron bolts into a passenger train, and other attempts at mischief have been made near this same place which cause it to he regarded by conductors J \ "Tv* <1.« V-V'_* V* ... point ^ sincerely to be hoped (fjj,. ibe guilt of the perpetrator of this uaholic crime will be clearly estab lished and that he will receive tbeex- treme penalty of the law.

It is ascertained that the Piedmont Exposition paid a profit of $10,000,after allowing $150,000, for the buildings.
