Job—The Crowd mid the Jail—The 1‘rlHonwr'o I'onfbwIoM—Tho I'rlaoner'a llod)-. Macon Telegraph, 13th. James Moore was hanged this morning at 1 o’clock by a mob. It was thought that the feeling agiiins! Moore would subside yesterday, and that the people had about concluded to allow the law to take its course in the matter. Such did not prove the case. All day long there were symptoms of an outbreak, am. rumors flew thick and fast. Some of these reports were absurd, though they were promptly smothered. One was to'the ef fect that Miss Little had died during the morning. There was no foundation for the statement, us Mr. Laney did not come in town. Another rumor was that two hundred men on horses would leave Hol ton at dusk to come in and take Moore from the jail. Another was that there would be a meeting of citizens near the East Ten nessee, \irginia and Georgia railroad cot ton yard. This rumor proved true. Shortly after nightfall men were seen going in the direction ol the old fail- ground, the rendezvous agreed upon. Bi ll) o’clock the crowd had increased to large numbers, and every now and then crowds were seen quietly moving in that direc tion. A few men, actuated by curiosity, went to the corner of the fence around the Macon and Western shops, but were met by sentinels. Each man was asked if he wanted to “be with us,” and if the reply was yes, he was allowed to pass on. If the answer was no, or if there was any hesi tancy, he was told to move away. THE MOB STARTS. When the city clock struck the hour of 12, it served to be the signal for the mob to start from the old fair ground. In twenty minutes they had arrived in the jail. The mob seemed to be about three hundred strong and as they turned the jail corner from Fifth street the huge crowd at the jail gave way. The men in advance wore white masks and carried sledge ham mers and crowbars. Each man had his pistol draw’ll and marched into the jail yard in good order. On hearing of the approach of the mob, Sherifl' Westcott put a portion of his posse- inside the jail, and with several stood upon the platform leading into the jail office. Mayor Price entreated the mob to stop, promising that Moore would have a speedi- trial. Sheriff Westcott also pleaded with the mob to stay, but they refused to listen and soon covered him with a dozen revol vers. He refused to give them the keys, and told them that if they got in it would be by breaking down the doors. THE ATTACK. In an instant the sheriff was rushed off the platform, and a few well-directed licks from the crowbar broke in the wooden door which leads into the residence por tion of the jail. Once inside, the mob fired off the pistols, pointing them upward. They were then met by the heavy iron door which shut them off from the apartment containg the cage. They began on this with their sledge hammers, each blow being distinct ly heard by the crowd on the outside. It required twenty minutes of hard work to break in the door, and when it gave way a shout went up which was echoed by the crowd outside. It was a terrible surprise and the crowd in the yard moved restlessly about. When the cage door was opened the mob rushed in, but Jailer Birdsong and Deputy Sheriff O’Pry had skipped out by the back way. They were brought back and dis playing some dynamite cartridges gave the jailer three minutes to unlock the com bination. In the meantime the key to the corridor had been found hidden under a lounge in the jailer’s sitting room. Jailer Birdsong saw that resistance was useless, and as he had some United StateB prisoners to protect, he held a hurried consultation with Sheriff Westcott and Mayor Price, and then at the point of pis tols unlocked the combination. TAKING HIM OUT. Moore was in a state of nervousness bor dering on insanity. Two nights of horror, added to the near approach to death he had made by his own hands, and the fact staring him inlthe face that in a moment more he would be hanging from a limb, nearly prostrated him. He asked if there was no protection outside, and if there was no escape from being mobbed, but the men said nothing. The combination unlocked, Moore was pulled out ol the cell. The act was seen by some of the crowd on the outside as if in shadow pantomime through the shade of the windows. A shout went up, and then the tramp of the men and their prisoner was heard on the iron stairs. The crowd gave way and the mob lost no time in taking Moore from the jail. He wore no collar and was bareheaded. The men who had him rushed out of the gate, the crowd following. The masked portion of the mob marched with drawn pUtols, and allowed no one but their own crowd to get near him. The line of march was down Fifth street, the dust raised by the tramping of hun dreds of feet nearly blinding the eyes, do wn Fifth to Cherry, and then down Cherry to SARAH ROBINSON’S HOUSE. where Moore last saw Miss Little. The mob here halted, the maskers keeping -back the crowd that followed. When in front of the house Moore was f laced upon the sidewalk, and, facing the ouse, was told that if he had anything to say now was the time. He managed to speak, but the noise of the crowd pre vented him from being heard. He said if he was guilty he did not know it, and whatever was done was done while he was drunk. The last he remembered of him self was when he was at the depot. He made an appeal to the crowd for mercy. He was then told to pray, and the crowd stood back to give him room to kneel. Moore prayed fervently for his wife and child and for himself and then as he said amen, he was raised up, and a call was made for the rope. There was some delay in getting the rope, and the time was oc cupied in tying Moors’s bands behind him. While this was going ou Moore begged that his body would not be riddled with bullets. the last act. One of the mob climbed up a large tree that stood in front of the house at the edge of the sidewalk. The rope was then tied around Moore’s neck and the knot placed behind his right ear. r i he other end ol the rope was then thrown to the man m ttie tree and tied to the limb. Moore being held up by three of the mob. When it was fastened Moore said: “Lord, have merej on my soul,” and the three men "'ho held him moved away. There was a gcigling sound, but the mob soon saw that the) had made a bungling job of it. Anoth man was sent up the tree to adjust t rope, Moore being again held up. leaat . “Boys, give me room,” and in two minutes more fie was allowed to swing again, drew himself up several tunes, and i few minutes James Moore was dead. There were a few calls to bring out Sarah Robinson, but the mob had agreed prew ously that they would take only one pel from the jail. It was also proposed to burn the house, but this was not listened to, the mob seeming satisfied with their m ?ht'bodywas out down ^the to Sheriff Westcottl who had it sent to the city ball, where it was laid out.

Union Springs, August 13.—Did you know Union Springs was as big as Colum bus? No. Well, it is; not built up as close of course. It is one mile wide and two •ong. It is a good, healthy place, and if we had an artesian well it would be as de sirable a little town as any one could wish to live in. The elevation is, I believe, 360 feet above Montgomery. Mr. H. R. Dudley has returned from New Orleans, where he purchased chairs for his opera house. Captain S. T. Frazer went to Montgome ry this evening in the interest of the en campment. Ex-Governor Watts is here attending* court. Marshal Raburn sports a bran new star. Looks like silver, though some of the boys say Frank Anderson made it. It is hot. dry and dusty and rain is badly needed, not only by us, but it would help the farmers just now. “My love, what magic spell is thrown Upon your face ? Its charm I own.
