ALL THE DETAILS. THE FULL STORY OFTHE CAPTURE AND KiLLING OF BURROWS. The Exact Facts from Beginuing to End Related by MXr. McDuftie an Detective Jackson-Truth Stranger tU::n iIction The Body Indentified. DEMoPoLis. -ALA.. Oct. l.-Al th-ough the excitement over the Bur rows traaedy has in a me.-inte subsided, the people of this city and county can talk or think of nothing else. The sen sational finale of the outlaw's life. the ringing down of the curtain, is now an event of yesterday, however, and wii soon be tradition merely. Yesterday all Demopolis quit business to discuss the tragic event; today they are up and about as usual and discussing yesterday' occurrence only casually. Amidst the turmoil and confusion yes terday, much garbling was done La giv ing out- the accounts, and necessarily some of this disjointed work Is more or less visible in every paper. The story of the capture of Burrows on Tuesday evening, you are all famliar with. On the arrival of McDuffie and Burrows at Linden, the former. ACTED IN A STRANGE MANNER. Instead of delivering his prisoner to the sheiff af Marengo county, MeDuilie with the assistance of his two negroes, retained custody of the prisoner. M. Duffie's course is explained by the fact that he was not incined to turn Burrows over to the sheriff because the later m iht claim the reward or a portion of it for the delivery of Burrows to the Express companv. And so on account of this idea of McDuffie's, Burrows was left in a room of the jail building, McDuffie and the two negroes -l heavily armed kept guard over the prison'c until mid night, when one of the negroes went to sleep. McDuffie and tht other negro remained on duty. BURROW'S HANDS WERE NEVER TIED. or handcuded after the jail was reached. as has been stated in almost every ac count I have seen or heard. His feet were chained together. but by a piece of inexcusable carelessness his hands were left free. The outlaw was silent for a long time after lie enterd the room. but finally this sullennass wore away and he had quite a conversation with MeDutie on the chase after him. Burrows was especially bitter against Detective Thos. Jackson. He said he was glad Jackson had missed him. He had over a hun dred opportunities of killing Jackson, but hb had never done so. He had made up his mind now to kill Jackson. and he wanted him to know it. McDuffie, among other things, asked Burrows if it was he who robbed the train atFlomaton. Burrows said MAY BE HE DID and may be he didn't. The people would hear more of it later. . It must have been .along about 3 o'clock, says MeDuffie, when his prison er asked him for something to eat, sayimz he was hungry and had not tasted food since the morning. McDuffie replied that he was in a similar condition, but there was no help for it, and they must stick it out togetherr Burrows then said he had some candy and corn bread and bacon in his saadle-bags, and he desired to get the food. Almost before he was awere of it, says McDuffe, the negro got up. walked to the door, picked up the leather cavalry sandle-bags and tossed them over to Burrows. The latter reached his hand down'inlt'o one ot the partitions, and pro duced some candy, giving some to Mc Duffie and some to the negro, who had jgiven him the saddlebags. They all sat there eating and talking for some four or five minutes, Burrows seeming to be in unusually good spirts. Suddenly, without a word of warning or a prelimninary motion indicative of what was to lollow, -BURROWS DREW TWO BIG PISTOLS from the saddlebags, and covering each of his guards he ordered the chains stricken from his legs. The negro corn -.menced the work while McDuflie moved slowly nearer to Burrows, with tihe inten tion. ~he says, of overpowering him with the assistance of the other negro guard. who had by this tiine awakeded. When he had approached very near to the out law the latter said: "That will do. Y ou -had better keep your distance or some thing mighthappen." McDuffie obeyed, saying: "Rube, the cake is yours," Bur -rows was soon unchained. Then, with his pistols still drawn, he made one of --the negroes chain MelDufie, and tied the other negro to him, He then locked the door, saying: "I'm Rube Burrows, and -I'm GOING TO PAINT THIS TOWN RED. " ~I want to know where the fellow is that's got my money. I am going to kill him. Bidding MlcDutiie goodbye. B~ur rows, with the negro in frout of him. atarted out to find Mr. J. R. Carter, with whom the money found on him the eve ning before had ~been deposited. The negro did not exactly know where Car tet lived, but knew the nighborhood of his room. Tile bandit king telling the poor negro that every next minute -would be his last, stopped at one or two -residences, but failed in his search. Then they learned that Carter had a room over Glass' store, and thither Bur - rows and the negro went at a trot, for it *was fast approching the time for the dawn to come. Carter was aroused by loud cries below, and when he asked who wanted him, he could get no reply. D~e termnined to know who it was that called. he dressed, taking care to put his pistol, a Smith. & Wesson double-astion, of 32-calibert, in his pocket. A moment later he appeared at the entrance., When lie opened the door and stepped out, Burrows instantly covered him with two pistols, saying: "Give me my money. OR1I'LL KILL YoU, you ." Carter looked at his opponent and1 his expression was se rene, He looked at Rube possibly a see -ond, and then two pistol shots rang out, the one seeming but an echo shot or the other. And then both men backing continued their tirmng until their pistols were exhausted. Both of the shots fired when the combatants were at close range did the work. The other eight went wide of the mark. Right at this juncture, before the re sults of the duel were known, the negro who had been escorting Burrows around rushed up to Rube, who had fallen by this time, grabbed his other pistols and had a picnic firmng them in the air. The citizens of the town who had started for the seen of the encounter, hearing all of the shooting, concluded that Burrows was KILLING PEOPLE AS THEY APPEARED, and kept away from the place. Rube had not long left McDuffie sitting on the floor in chains before the latter, fearing the now maddened desperado wvould re turn and kill him, began to cast about for means to effect his liberty. H~e got the chains loose, secured a gar and PRIZED OPEN THE DOOR? to the r~oom in which he was confined. Just as he was leaving the place, a free man once more, he heard the pistol shots ring out and hurried in the direction from which they came. LArrving at the scene of the desperate duel, McDluffic stumbled upon the body of Burrows, from which the }LIFE WAS FAST LEAVING. It was now almost light enough tu tiuguishing who it was. A little pool or blood had formed on the ground beside the body. His next thought was of Carter, and to him Mcluffie turned h'I E attention. It was found that Carter h been painfully. but n)t dangerous .tu1ced in the left shcoulder. fromi wel~ie he will recover in a few days.

VA., Oct.5-The -New York express over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad carried last night in the smoking car a woman and seven child ren. none over 12 years of age, and all the family but one more or less dement ed. Just as the train was reaching Clarks bu-g, east of here, the mother rushed to the platform and leaped from the train. shrieking wildly. She dashed through a crowd of passengers, bleeding from her fall, and started for the hills. When the train stopped her two oldest child ren-boys-armed themselves with whatever they could find and defied all proffered assistance, but were all finally secured. The only one in the family who seems to be sane is a girl 10 years old. She said that her inother's name was Mrs. John 1rannon, and that they lived form erly at No. 8.310 Piennslvvania Avenue, St. Louis. Her father, she said, had four years treated them cruelly, and only a few days ago had driven them from home with a shotgun. She said they were trying to reach Bethlehem, Pa.: where thiy had relatives. Often time, she said their father had been away from home for days at a time and left them nothing to eat. He never came back without beating their moth er. and he had often threatened to kill them. Ali last night a large party hunted the woods and hills for the crazy wo man, bat without success.

S., Oct. 15-A thrilling story is that of the rescue of the four men who remained on the wrecked bark Melmerby, standed at Little Harbor, while on a voyage from Quebec for Greenock, with lumber, and from which the captain, first and second ofleers and twelve men were drowned. All day Monday crowds stood on the beach watching the poor unfortunates on the crumbling wreck, but the specta tors were powerless to effect or even at tempt a rescue, so wild was the sea. and night settled downi without any abate ment of the terrific storm. Two men remained on shore and occasionally waved lanterns to show the shipwrecked men that they were not'forgotten. When morning dawned Tuesday morn ing an immence concourse assembled, but it was noon before it was considered at all possible to make any attempt at rescue. Then a boat was launched, mannedl by a volunteer crew, consisting of Captains Graham. David, Frazer Williams and Dr. L. C. Leon, of New Glasgow, James Maglasheu of Beg Island, and A. Desconsaman. The brave fellows fought a terrible battle with the waves, but eventually reached the wreck. when m~ghty cheers went up from thze anxious watchers on shore. One by one the exhausted and benum bed shiipwrecked men were lowered into the boat, and after a second des perate hattle with the waves, conveyed them safelv to land. The work was faeditated fby a liberal use of oil. T wo of the rescued men were siek, and one had his shoulder broken. The rescued men were seamen Kane and Evans and the steward and cap~tainl of the schooner, who went to supply the bark with pro visions, and were unable to regain their own vessel. The stranded Melmerby is fast breaking up. Showers of Human Flesh. Wii M~XGTON, D~el., Oct. 12.-Gradu :liy the scattered remains of the un fortunate victims of the rece-nt powder miii explosion are being gathered from an area of several miles. A farmer liv ing two miles from the scene of the ac eident was startled a few minutes after hearing the report by the decent of a bleeding, lacerated human hand at his. feet. Last evening two men were pass ing through a wood, about a mile and a half distant, when one of themi stum bled over a portion of a man's face-the. nose, nr oustache and lower jaw. They at once looked aroundl for other traces of a body, and they saw in a tree three ribs and'a small quantity of 11esh. Such linds have been made all around thei neighborhood, but in the majority of cases scarcely a handful of flesh could be picked up in one place. There has not been enough recovered yet to make3 the weight of a good-sized man. Killiedby a aniac. NiEW YoRKx, October 10.-James D.

The evidence so far adduced appears to show First-That there is a deliberate pur pose on the part of the leaders of the dominant party to retain the Congress ional miaiority now in its grasp. Secund-'hiat to serve this end a gang of unscrupulous men, without the sane tion of the leaders of their party. have connived ani conspired together to de raud oany of the States of this Unin out of their legitimate Congressional rep reseltaton.

THE STORY OF THb~ FRAUD. Early in June last it was apparently decided to undertake this dangerous and, up to this time, new step in "prae tical polities" A certain Mr. Morgan organized the work. The second story of a three-floored house on D) street (No. 200) was rented at 420 per month, and artloads of material from the ceusus otice were removed thereto. Twelve cerks who could be relied upon to hold their tongues were engaged in July and put to work. IHOUSE OF THlE CONSPIRACY. The duties of these men were continu ous. they toiled (lay and night. The tally cards of certain States were brought to the D street house at night. retamned a few days and then returned to the census oflice. The landlady of the house. Mrs. Dul ig, a matronly arid comely woman o! thirty-live, grew curious to know what work wvas being prosecuted in her apart meats. She asked Stephen WV.

She likewise importunedi Census Clerks Sarvis, Church, Wil on and Octavius. who were emlioyedl on the work. for~in formation. She did not get any. Shiortly after this injident a great mass of consus miaterial was burned in the second story front room of the D stret house. A man giving the name of Nelsiin then apeared upon the scene.

Under all tfie circumstances, his honor thought the best thing thiat could be (lone was to give the boy a severe flogging. He said that if Smith's father would give the boy twenty lashes on the bare back with a bireh gad, and inflict the punish ment conscientiously, and to thc satis faction of the court. he would not send the boy to the penitentiary.
