Odorn by" John Cheek, in Emanuel oounty, proves to be one of atrocious features. Three years ago John Cheik, with his wife and four children, arrived in Emanttsl county in a destitute condition. Bo hopeless were they of their fatal* that they were about to be placed in the poorhouse, when .Mr. Odorn, a well-to-do farmer, took them into his own house and harbored them for months free of charge, until the husband and father was able to care for hie family and himself. This act of kindness Cheek always represented himself a» unable to pay. Two weeks ago a party was given at which Odorn and Cheek, with their wives, were present. For a while the sound of revelry ran high, until the free- use of liquor gave evidence that the affair was to turn into a saturnalia of crime. John Cheek was lying upon a sofa when Mr. Odorn came in and the two begad talking of old times. Cheek referred to the debt of gratitude which he owed Mr. Odorn, and said he could never repay him. Mr. Odorn replied that he could always get along well enough with the men, but sometimes he found that old women were a little troublesome. To this Cheeck seemed.to agree. Then Odorn insinuated that Cheek's wife was a liur. Cheek replied that be had the same opinion of Odorn's wife, and added: "My friend, what you have said stung me." By this time the attention of the dancers was directed to the two men. when Cheek, jumping up, pulled out his revolver and filed two shots, then rushing through the company made his escape. Odorn fell dead in the arms of one of the dancers, and thus the house of revelry was changed into a house of mourning. In the excitement consequent the murderer escaped. Dogs were placed upon his track the next day, and after scouring the country for miles around a trail was struck which led to the capture of the murderer in Laurens county. It was with the utmost difficulty that the officers saved him from being lynched. He was committed to jail on the chargo of murder.

London, Oct. 81.—There was an uprorious episode in the house of commons during the debate on Lord Randolph Churchill's proposal to censure the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain for the share he is alleged to havo had in promoting riots at Tory gathering* The subject was brought up last Tuesday evening when Lord Randolph Churchill gave notice that be would move an amendment to the address in reply to the queen's speech, censuring Mr. Chamberlain "for inciting by his speeches interference with the freedom of political discussion, and justifying riot and disorders'" The amendment was moved, and after it hod been seconded, Lord Randolph Churchill began an oration in his customary vain of wholesale and almost indiscriminate attack upon the Radicals and Liberals. This was the signal for a storm of mock applause and interjected comments from the Home Rule benches. It was the first time since tbo Hannitrasna division that the Irish members had had a good chance to use obstructive tactics, and. as they oared not at all whether Churchill or Chamberlain got the better of the fight, they seemed to enjoy the fun. Suddenly, in the midst of the uproar there came from the Irish benches the most unearthly sound that Jias ever been board in St, Stephens. It was shrill, wierd, blood curdling. A dosen Liberals jumped to their feet and loud criejof "Order-1" were echoed from all parts of the house. At Inst Mr. James O'Kelly, the member for Roscommon, who has just returned .after some thrilling experiences as The Daily Neva correspondent In the Soudan, arose and admitted that he was the culprit. He said that be bad only meant to laugh, but he had been away from civilization so long that he had unconsciously employed the howl which does duty as a laugh among ths Soudanese, and which he had learned whils with them. The explanation was received with a roftr of laughter, and the debate proceeded.  Newport, Oot. 31.—The villa of Mrs. Mary C. Holmes, of New York, vrau burned sarly, causing a loee of about $20,000.

Mr. Blaine was driven from Mr. W bite's residenoo to the Academy M Music where another nodienoe had aseemblod, . ill ling; the building to lto utmost rapacity. The number of ladies . present Woul.l 1 ave been surprising in any city except Brooklyn, and was remarkable even tliero considering the pouring rain. District Attorney Tenney flint Introduced Gen. John C. Fremont, who remarked that he felt like an old flag, which after having been carried on hotly contested but victorious fields, was now borne n boot as a memorial of former triumphs. He was not present to make a speeoli, and uould introduce his friend Mr. Bteine. As he did so there was NOW IN ITS SIXTH SEASON. A* he was returning home lit heard a sud» ien and great commotion among a flock of sriiws in a piece of woods a quarter of a milo or so from his house. The crows were cawing furiously, and were circling around among the treo tops in one particular spot, and occasionally darted about* through the tree*. Williams walked over towards the woods, and as he approached the crows increased their hubbub. When he arrived within gunshot they withdrew to a more distant part of the woods, but kept up their noise. Williams had just entered the edge of the woods when he heard the rattling of a chain, mid simultaneously an enormous bird strutted out from behind a tree, dragging the ihissing trap, chain and stake, The jaws of the trap were fastened on one leg of the bird, which was a bald eagle of the largest size. The eagle flew from the ground and was rising wltli difficulty towar !» 1 ht top of a tall, dead tree when Williams fired at it. Th9 charge took effect In one of tbe-eagle"« wings, and it fell to the ground. Thinking to capture the eagle alive, Williams approached it, but it spite of its crippled wing and the burden of the trap on its leg, the bird flew at him and attacked him with loch fury that he turned and fled front the woods. Hurrying home, Williams, without laying anything to others, procured a stout rope and a largo feed bag. On his way back to the woods he noticed that the crows whiah had attracted his attention in the first place, were hovering over the place where he had left the eagle, and from their peculiar cries and frantic actions, he inferrod that something nnosual had occurred during his absence. The orows, knowing by the wonderful instinct they, possessed that the eagle was wounded, and bating as they do all large birds, had iwarmed down on the eagle and attacked it In its crippled condition. This attack had been diststroas to the orows, for when Williams again reached the spot three lay dead near the enraged eagle and several others were dragging themselves away out of its reach, utteriug the sharp, guttural ery which they only utter when wounded or In tronbje. 'ltd eagle no sooner saw Williams approaching than it rushed at him with all the force at its command, hampered and crippled as It was, and forowj the fighting at once. Williams liad made a uoose in one end of the rope he carried, and when the eagle flew at him he waited until It was almost upon him, and then quickly threw the noose ovar the bird's head and it slipped down around its wings. Williams drew the noose tight and fastened the other end of the rope to a tree. The eagle was now shorn of the great strength in its wings, but it pulled the rope taut in Its efforts to get at Its enemy. Ae it stood tbus, straining at the rope, WHMama succeeded i« slipping the bag down ovar its head. Ha then clasped the bird around the body. Although now blinded and pinioned and doubly crippled, the eagle was (till uncMqnared. As Williams stood with his arms around the great body of the bird, endeavoring to ieoure the month of the bag around its legs, the eagle suddenly sprang against him, and itriklag him in the breast with its one free talon, with one flaroe, downward stroke ripped the clothing downward and tor* the ikin from the flesh in a long strip olear to the waist Williams quickly released the bird and made haste to reach his house, tupposing that he was. terribly injur»d. Two men who were buckwheat (or him ware then infqrmed of the presence the eagle in the woods, and they went to lbs spot and sMOceeded iu overpowering it. (t was brought to Williams' and tied to • post in the barn, the trap being removed from its leg. The eagle will measure at least eight feat from tip to tip of it* wings, and stands nearly four feet htgh. These birds still nsst in the wild and rocky elevations in this region, where it is barely possible for haman being* to gain access. They frequently visit the sheep pastures of the larmu in the neighborhoods, and the poultry (rarda In defending bar ohickens against me of the bold marauders one day last summer, not far from tbe Williams farm, Mrs. Jans Orban was compelled to fight it for leariy an hour, during which time it tore ler clothing from her and lacerated her lesh terribly with its beak and talons.
