Tne delay of the Legislature creates
the suspicion in the minds of the peo

investigate these allied frauds, and
consequently that we have not an hon-

influential men in both Houses who
belong to some infamous “ring,” and
who control the action of their col

Brutal Murder.
We quote'the foUowing from the
Savannah News, of Saturday:
Mr. D. F. Pelote owns a stock farm
on Warsaw Island, about sixteen miles
from that city, on the coast. He is:
well known in the city and vicinity, es
pecially among boatmen and gentlemen
who have a relish’for sports oh the
seuside during the summer. It ap
pears that hist Thursday, week - Mr.
Pelote engaged a 'white man named
Simmons, and a negro to watch the
house and the Eve stock on the
island. Mr. Simmons, who is said to
be from Atlanta, went to Warsaw
Island last week, Thursday, accom
panied by the negro. Neither of them’
were known to-CoL Pelote. On last
Thursday a Mr. Howard, who was
proposing -to rent the place,. accompa-:
ni’ed by negro boys, rowed a boat
down to the-islond.and landed’. They
saw no one moving -about the island
and- decided to cad on CoL Pelote
for some necessary information. They
approached the house and called for
the persons whom they thought would
be able to give them all the informa
tion they desired. No one answered
their call, and thereupon they went to
the door and passed into the dwelling.
There a most horrible sight awaited
them. On the floor, in a pool of blood,
lay’the dead body of. the old man,-Mr.
Simmons. The skull of the man had
been broken in, and from it protraded-
the brains, thus presenting a most
horrible sight to the astonished visitor.
One leg of the bid man, which had
evidently been thrust into the fire
place, was entirely burnt off, together
with the shoes from both feet. From
one side of the murdered man the
entrails were protruding. The body
of the -victim was also badly decom
posed: -
