Death of Judge Terry, a X’oted Law yer anil Desperado. Lathkoi*. Cal., August 14.—Judge David S. Terry, husband of Sarah Althea Hill, notorious in connection with tlie Sharon divorce case, was shot and killed this morning by Dep uty United States Marshal David Nagle. Justice Field, of the United States Supreme Court, accompanied by Na gle, arrived here from Los Angeles early this morning by train. On the same train were Judge Terry and wife. The parties alighted for break fast at the Depot Hotel. Justice Field sat at a table with his back towards the entrance to the room. Judge and Mrs. Terry entered almost immedi ately after, and Terry walked toward Justice Field and bending over him slapped him in the face. Justice Field put his hands up before his face, when Nagle drew a revolver and fired two shots at Terry, one striking him on the ear and the other in the heart, either of which would have proved fatal. The tragedy is tlie outcome of the Sharon divorce case, and Judge Ter ry’s recent imprisonment for contempt in connection with that case. Tlie affair has created the wildest excite ment as one of the most sensational ever enacted in this State. Judge Terry had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry ran to his side and threw herself on his body. A scene of wild est confusion followed, people rush ing out and in tlie dining room. Meanwhile Justice Field and Deputy Nagle retreated to a sleeping car, and were securely locked in. THE PITTSBURG PREACHER. ol Yeldell Acquittcil of the Murder John Blackwell. On Saturday the case of the State versus John Yeldell, alias the Rev. E. F. Flemon, was ended by the ac quittal of the prisoner of the charge of murdering John Blackwell. \\ bile there was uo doubt that this revered pastor of a Pittsburg flock was the ring-leader of the crowd of rioters that did kill Blackwell, the evidence brought before tlie jury did not fix the crime on him sufficiently clearly l<» warrant c«uvietion. It is stated that tlie verdict was acceptable to most persons who witnessed the trial, hut considerable indignation was express ed bv some of tlie friends of Black- welf from the “dark corner,” where the killing occurred. This did not take the form of any disorderly con duct on Saturday night, but it was thought best that Yeldell should not leave the precincts of tlie jail, and as additional security twenty members of the Edgefield Rifles were detailed to sleep in the jail to be ready in case any violence was attempted. On Sunday it was evident from the gathering of men in the town that violence would he attempted; so the Cumberland Gap Railway train was quickly got ready, and Yeldell and the guard got on board about 3:50 in the afternoon and were carried through to Columbia, where he, with Col. Echols, his Pittsburg attoruey, took the train for the North. THE PUGILISTS OX TRIAL. the little suff’el uight the nursl ministered po| lye.

He was re markably active and vigorous for one of his age. He has been married four times and leaves a wife and a large family of children. Two of his sous are now living in Texas. In 1828 he built bridges over the creeks in the Santee swamp where the Santee Construction Company is now erec ting their trestle. He was a kind friend and the needy have lost a ben efactor. The continued rains have rendered the roads almost impassable in some portions of the county. Great gullies have been made by the washing of the water, and in some places the mud holes are deep and dangerous. As far as our information extends the cotton crop in Orangeburg County has been very seriously injured by the late rains—the old cotton especially. The corn crop is the largest grown for years and will be a great lift to our farmers. LEXINGTON COUNTY. From The Lexington Dispatch, Aug. 14th. Mrs. James S.

G. Hutto. Bamberg Advertiser August 14th. A shadow of gloom is cast over our community this morning on receipt of information of a fatal difficulty be tween Trial Justice J. C. Miiey, of Midway, and Mr G. E. Hutto. The difficulty, Nve presume, grew out of a case tried in Bamberg by Judge Rowe yesterday. Judge Miiey slicing a young man for trespass, said trespass being the cleaning out of what is known as the ‘‘church well.” The case resulted in a mistrial. Soon thereafter Mr. Miiey and Mr. Hutto got into a difficulty on the street, near Murphy’s store, but were arrested by Marshal Jones, several blows having passed. The parties left town, later, going to Midway, and it was thought by many that the difficulty would he renewed. These sad expectations were realiz ed. The difficulty was renewed near Mays’ store in Midway at about 8 o’clock -.’ast night. Our informant tells usIhat Mr. Miiey walked up to the place mentioned and called out Mr. Hutto, saying, come out and let’s settle the matter, or words to that ef fect, and shooting took place at once. The first shot that took effect, and the one that caused Miley’s death, en- tcririi.the third devifaipr collar - bo lie aud another went into theiower third of the right arm in front, goiug through and making its egress in an opposite direction. Dr. Barton at tended Mr. Miiey and did all that could be done for him, but he died at 2.30 this a. m. Mr. Hutto passed here on the 8.56 train last night, going to Barnwell Court House to surrender himself to the Sheriff. Full particulars will be brought out at the Coroner’s inquest. The occurrence is greatly deplored. Dr. Brown-Seq■aril’s What-is-it.

The fire must have burned for a long time underneath tlie roof before breaking through, for this once accomplished, a minute was sufficient to show an alarming spread. The building was a large one of five -dories, and was burned down to the i 'cond story before tlie flames could be extinguished. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have started in the laundry on Satur day night, and to have worked its way up through the building, until store-room on tlie top floor was reached, where it found full play and inflammable material. Tlie cost of the building was about $139,000, and the fire destroyed the roof and three top floors. The wall? continue standing, and from the third floor down are almost intact. Against this there is a total insurance of $60,- ooO. There are on the rolls of the house the names of 110 children, but many of these were absent and others were playing in the grounds when the fire occurred, so that none were in jured.

Superintendent Richard Carroll, of the Queen and Crescent, and Pat Dutt'y were absent. The grand jury having been sworn, were charged by Judge Terrell on the law of prize lighting ami 'assault and battery. The grand jurors then re tired for consultation. The entire party were in good spirits, but anxious that tlie case shall he concluded as soon as possible. District Attorney Neville was in attendance conducting the prosecution. People came for miles around most ly out of curiosity to see t lie pugilists, Sullivan was in good humor and talk ed with ail who came in contact with him. All of the accused were present except Pat Dully, whose absence was accounted lor by the district attorney, who failed to notify him. General Superintendent Carroll, of the Queen and Crescent, was not present, and the general belief was that be would not be indicted by the jury. Judge Terrell in his charge to the grand jury, aft* r referring to the wick ed illicit traffic in liquor in this vicin ity, continued: •’Gentlemen, but little need he said of tlie prize fight which took place at Richburg on .the 8th of July last. The principals in said light and all accessories before and after the act are guilty of high misdemeanor. A right by consent, without anger or ill- will between two parties, without any stake, reward or prize whatever, would be a serious crime under our law made by tlie Legislature. You are hound by your conscience to act upon the law as delivivd from this stand. Anger or ill-wiii is not neces- ^>>ry to constitute the crime of assault ville systems, and at a meeting of the railroad committee of the House of Representatives Mr. Calhoun said that Mr. Williams.m had wanted to unload his Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus Road on the Central, that lie (Mr. Calhoun) had prevented the unloading of the road on tlie Central, and that any credit for tlie road being an independent line was due to him, (Mr. Calhoun.) Mr. Williamson de nounced Mr. Calhoun’s statements as unqualifiedly false. The same evening the correspond ence was started by Capt. Jackson, as second for Mr. Calhoun, carrying a note to Mr. Williamson at the Kim ball House. Mr. Williamson tele graphed to Rome for his friend, Mr. Jackson King. Arrangements were made for a meeting in Alabama on Saturday. The parties arrived on the ground in the afternoon, aud as nego- t.yitions had been exhausted before fife party left AtlHTUa.-tbe-work ot laying off the ground was at once En tered upon, aud the parties were brought facing each other. The sig nal—one, two, three—was given, aud a simultaneous discharge of shots took place. In rapid succession six shots rang out. One came from Mr. Calhoun’s pistol, aud five from Mr. Williamson’s, bu* nobody was hit. Then a colloq y occurred, which ended in an adji .tmeut of the diffi culty ; but the questions, whether Mr. .Williamson did or did not try to un load his road on tlie Central system, or whether Mr. Calhoun’s statements were true or not, do not seem to have been decided by the six cracks of the Smith Wesson pistols.

The spectacle was witness ed by fully 4,060 people. Slutted figures representing tlie two men were suspended side by side from a cross bar on upright scantlings and set on fire. While the images were burning tlie Atlanta Zouave band played “Dixie’’ and “Dead March.” The enthusiasm was at a high pitch, and some of tlie most prominent citi zens of Atlanta were leaders of the movement. When the figures were consumed thecrowd quietly dispersed. Nothing of an unpleasant nature oc curred. Buck is believed to he responsible | hud gone to for the appointment by Gen. Lewis of the negro Penny to the registry department, of the post office, but Lewis endeavored to force his pr< -- * ence socially upon Miss Lyons, a leither quacks | y 0uni , j a( jy ^q 10 wus u clerk in the department. Public indignation runs high in Atlanta against both Buck and Lewis, and tlie latter will be ex pelled from the Capitol City Club. We had tlie pleasure of making a short visit a few days ago to Perry, a thriving village on the B., A. N. Railway, and were much impressed with tlie improvements that had been made during tlie past few months. Several new stores aud houses have been erected, aud others are being put up at the present time. The place has a good back country, which will insure it a good trade. The lutend- ant, Mr. John W. Fanning, is a very efficient official, and sternly enforces the laws and preserves good order in the place. The stores of Messrs. I.

A battery is unlawful phy sical force, inflicting injury or hurt upon another, whether done in malice or wantoness; it need not be in anger.” Tlie delivery of the charge occupied fifteen minutes. The counsel for the defence, who were attentive listeners, pronounced the charge very fair and moderate.
