A white man was arrested 1 in this city yesterday, by; Officer O. Bunting, on suspicion of being one Obadiah Ross, wanted for the murder of a Mr. N. F. Cornwell, of Jefferson' county, Georgia about four years ago.

It appears that in isrefciea parties in Kavannad, by some means received information that Ross wss living in Sampson county, in this State, where he was married about three months ago. The necessary papers for his arrest and detention were thereupon issued and sent to the authorities of Sampson. Upon their receipt to that county, however, it was ascertained that the suspected individ ual had suddenly-changed his quarters to Duplin, and the papers were thereupon transferred to the authoriUes of that coun ty, and, the same instructions given. It was soon ascertained, however, that the "bird" had again flown, and this time settled' in Wilmington. The documents were then forwarded to this city to Chief of Police Brock, who turned them over to Constable Bunting, who soon "bagged" the individual answering to the description of the alleged murderer, and he was lodged in the county jail to await further develop ments.

In the meantime the proper aun thoriiies in Savannah have been telegraphed to and requested to send someone to iden tify the prisoner. The murdered man, Cornwell, was for merly a merchant of Savannah, but at the time of the killing was doing business at Bartow, Ga. About midnight one cold night in Decemher, 1877, the store occu pied by Mr. Cornwell, and in one room of which he resided, was discovered on fire, and the flames spread so. rapidly that in a short time the place was entirely destroyed It.

was known that Mr. slept in the rear of the store, and upon search being madepart of the charred remains of the body was found in the ruins. It was the genersl opinion store had been broken open and robbed and then set on fire to cover the crime. Soon afterwards one McDaniel was arrested and confessed, implicating five others in the crime, in cluding Obadiah Ross; and all but Ross were subsequently arrested. Constable Bunting has a photograph of and it suits the man be has arrested to perfection.

The man himself claims that his name is J. H. Williams, and that he ia from Lenoir county, where be has been working at his trade of an engineer in various saw-mills. He has been here about three weeks trying to get woik. Oaily Weatner Ralietin.
