HIS SKULL CRACKED. A Young Man Geu Into a Bad Diffi culty. Greenville, Aug. 14.—Verner John son a well-known plumber, was rlously if not fatally injury! at 10 o'clock In J. D. Destafflno s pool •oom in Main street, by being struck TEe bead with a billard cue. La c enorts from the wounded man this afternoon are that he is reB | l " g fair ‘ v well, although he is delirious at Mmes. The physicians believe he ms a chance of recovery. There is some mystery surround ing the affair, which Chief Becknell has been trying to clear up. Ward Goodlett and Johnson, to gether with others, were Paying pool. It seems that Goodlett and Johnson passed some words, which ^d to * quarrel followed by blows with the cues which the men were , play !“® with Al Hubble attempted to stop ihe men from fighting and it is said .lohnson attempted to strike him, whereupon Hubble picked up another cue and dealt the blow which ren dered Johnson unconscious and which may result in his death. Hubble was in charge of the pool room at the time of the accident, and it seems from the story of those pres ent that he was trying to act the par of peacemaker. Hubble disapneared soon after the occurrence, but was captured near midnight in a house in Court street. He had $97 on his per son when arrested, which money, it is said, he secured from Belle Green, and it is supposed he was preparing to leave the city. _ i. ~ Ward Goodlett and John Burbage were arrested immediately after the arrival of the police, but the latter was released about midnight. Goodlett and Hubbell were confined in cells at the station house last night but were removed to the county jail this morning, where they will remain until the result of the injury received by Johnson is determined. The mysterious part of the occur rence is the fact that the police de partment was not informed of the fight for more than an hour. The young men in the room at the time badly injured, and it was some time before a physician was summoned. When the officers arrived the lights were out, and there was some diffi culty experienced in gaining admis sion into the pool room. The wound ed man vras struck while standing in the pool room, but in his semi-con scious condition he had made his way through the pool room toward the street into Parkins’ barber shop. Lying in a pool of blood with sev eral standing over him trying to stanch the flow of blood from the wound in his forehead, was the condl tion in which he was found, with the lights extinguished. The skull was fractured above the right eye, and a difficult operation was performed last night after the wounded man -was removed to his home in Atwood street. Johnson is a well-known plumber and has many friends here. He is a member of the Greenville Light In fantry, and had reached the city from Columbia only about an hour before *he occurrence took place. CANNOT FIND AN ASYLUM. Man in Spartanburg and One in Co lumbia Kept Out of the Hospital. Spartaanburg, Aug. 16.—By a pecu liar coincidence, it appears that Spar tanburg and Columbia have each a lunatic that they would gladly get off their hands. In the county jail here is John Leonard, the white man picked up a week ago by the police, and who has been wandering about in North Carolina and has been denied entrance to the State asylum. There is no doubt but that he is insane and badly so. He has a peculiar hobby of “conjuring” people and fixing up “con juring” tricks. In Columbia the police have in de tention a young white man named Merritt. He has been in the Capital City several weeks, and was arrested for drunkenness. His conduct was of such a nature that the officers thought him crazy. His father, a farmer, who lives at Landrum, in this county, and Probate Judge Gentry issue a writ of lunacy; but when young Merritt was examined by Columbia physicians he was pronounced sane. This left him on the hands of the police. Today his father applied to Probate Judge Gentry again for a writ, as the old gentleman feels sure his boy ig de ranged; but the probate judge did not Issue the second order, declaring young Merritt sound in mind, as the doctors had pfonounced him sane. So there it is. Columbia takes care of one man who is said to be mentally unbalanced, and Spartanburg county is keeping a crazy man in jail. Nat Crump Guilty. l^exlngton. N. C., Aug. 16.—Nat Crump was this evening found guilty of secret assault. He attempted to kill H. Clay Grubb from ambush the following Monday after the latter was acquitted of the murder of his brother- in-law, O. L. Da.is. Grubb was se rlously wounded, but drove on to Salisbury. He was struck severa times by buckshot. A sensatlona feature of the trial was the declara tion by Crump that the confession that he made when captured, implicating others, was forced from him by threats of lynching at Salisbury and was not true. A WONDERFUL MINISTER. The Remarkable Record of Rev. A. A. Jamea, of Jonesville. Jonesville, Aug. 15.—The Rev. A. A. James, a Presbyterian minister who once lived near Jonesville, but now lives at Pacolet, was born in York county eighty-one years ago, graduat ed at Davidson College, N. C., in the year 1848, then attended and gradu ated from the Presbyterian Seminary in Columbia, preached his first ser mon at Fair Forest church the third Sunday in July, 1851, taking for his text Romans, 5th and 10th, and he has been the only pastor of this Fair For est church ever since. H« served as chaplain of the 18th S. C. volunteers throughout the late* war. He came home on a few occasions and admin istered the sacrament, and attended other pastoral duties during the war. In the year 1859 Grindall church was built four or five miles from Jones ville, and Mr. Janies has been the only’pastor this church has ever had. A Presbyterian church was built at Pacolet some twelve or fifteen years since anvl one was built Jonesville ten or twe’ve years since, and these two churches have lioth been served by the Rev. Mr. James during the whole of their existence. Mr. James has married 575 couples and has bur ied equally - as many dead: has preached more than six thousand ser mons; has baptized and received a great many into the church, and has preached to the Confederate soldiers in camp in nearly all the Southern States. He has attended most of the Presbvterians synods and general as semblies of his church. He preaches ten times each month and drives to all his appointments, which is about twenty miles, every Sunday. Mr. James attends most of the Confed erate veterans’ reunions and enjoys them very much. He preaches annual sermons to some of the veterans camps and makes speeches on Memo rial days and other occasions, and al though he has passed his 81st mile post he is still active and vigorous and well preserved, and always preaches a good sermon.

Greenville, Aug. 15.—Four tramp mill operatives while sleeping on the Southern Railway track near Grove Station, were run into by the south bound passenger train at 9.56 o’clock last night, and as a result of which C. Williams is dead, Paul Fowler is suffering with a broken leg and o*her injuries, and Henry Holley has an injured arm and leg. Edward Ellis escaped without Injury almost mirac ulously. It seems fro mthe story of Ellis that the four men are mill operatives and were on their way to Piedmont hunting work in the mills. They were fagged ou* from having walked so much yesterday, and sat down on the railway track to rest. It seems they all fell asleep and be fore they knew it the train was upon them. The man killed and the two in jured were nearest the approaching train and this possibly explains how Ellis escaped. The accident is pecu liarly unfortunate. Magistrate Mitche/11, of Piedmont, telephoned for Coroner Wooten this morning, and he left the city on the early morning train for Grove Station, where he will hold an inquest. It Is thought the injured men. Fow ler and Holley, will recover, although their injuries.are serious. The men were from Charlotte, N C„ and the body of Williams was shipped there this afternoon.
