Two quick deaths and a probably fatal wounding marked the
day at Lovett, a station on the Wrightsyille and Tennille road Sun
day. Andrew Green, a negro, after shooting Lula George, a woman
of his own color, killed George Heath, a prominent citizen, and was
in turn killed by a mob organized to avenge the death of Heath.
Albert Davis shot quite a large eagle near his home in the su
burbs of Silvania, Ga., a few days ago. It measured oyer six feet
from tip to tip. Dr. Overstreet put his eagleship under the influence
of chloroform and amputated the wing that was wounded. It took
an ounce more of the drug to put it to sleep than is necessary for a
man.
The famous Luetgert trial is now on in Chicago. Luetgert is
charged with having burned his wife in the furnace of his sausage
factory or dissolved her body in & solution of potash. Science has
analyzed the ashes drawn from the furnace and also dissolved a corpse
obtained from a medical college to test the latter theory and are pre
pared to testify.
There will not be a contest for the seat made vacant by the
death of Senator George of Mississippi, Senator-elect Money, whose
regular term will begin a year and a half hence, will be named by the
governor to fill the unexpired term. The legislature meets only once
in four years, and Mr. Money was elected long in advance of the be
ginning of the regular term..
Vassar College circles are agitated by the discovery that a mem
ber of the senior class of ’97, recently graduated, is a negress. Her
former room-mate, who is said to have been without suspicion, is hu
miliated and grief-stricken by the discovery. The objectionable young
woman being from New England, the other Vassar girls must have
taken her to be an East Indian princess.
There is a report afloat to the effect that the sugar trust is buy
ing Hawaiian sugar stock with a view to securing control of the
production of the island. In that event it would seem pretty well
settled that the annexation treaty is certain of ratification. It may
be depended upon that the sugar trust will have inside information,
and that the trust and its friends in the Senate will take care of each
other.
The report of Capt. Phil G. Byrd on the condition of the con
vict camps of Georgia reveals a state of affairs that is nothing less
than disgraceful to a civilized country. The present system of farm
ing convicts out, which obtains in most counties, is radically wrong
in principle, and this report shows that it is even worse in practice.
It should be changed, and this is one of the live qnestio ns that the
legislature will have to deal with at its next session.
Lynching is indigenous to no soil, climate-or section in particu
lar. In Schiller Park, a suburb of Chicago, last week, infuriated
farmers wreaked summary vengeance on a man who had choked and
beaten a farmer’s wife during the absence of the men in the field.
The enraged men did not wait to give the law a chance. The ob
ject of their yrrath was shot, impaled on pitchforks and beaten with
clubs until life was extinct. He was left where he was killed and
the coronor was notified.
