MANDAMUS AGAINST CARLISLE. Effort to Compel a l’rellminary Inspection of Sugar fane Industry. Washington, September 20. —The Miles Planting and Manufacturing company, a corporation of the state of Louisiana, organized for the purpose of planting and growing sugar cane and manufacturing sugar, yesterday after noon filed in the supreme court of the district of Columbia a petition for a writ of mandamus directed against Senator Carlisle and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller, to compel those two officials to make a prelimi nary inspection of their works. The petition says that the company was induced to go into the sugar business by the bounty act of October 1, ls'.to. The commissioner of internal reve nue issued five to them July 2, 1824. for their manufactories which are situated at Amite, Homer, Monroe, St. James and .New Hope, and they were required to give bonds for $250,000. There is a rule of the treasury depart ment which requires preliminary in spection of a manufactory of sugar, and the petition states that the present is the time for such inspection of the company’s works, but both Commis sioner Miller and Secretary Carlisle have refused to comply with this rule. They claim that thi.3 is illegal and will damage them to the extent of $50,000. They sav there is no substance to the pretext that the new tariff law which went into effec* August 28th last, re peals and annuls the old law, and that the failure of the government to in spect their works practically amounts to the destruction and confiscation of their property. A rule to show cause was issued by the court returnable on October 4th. KILLED HUNTING COMPANION. Unprovoked Marker Near Amcricus—Negro •he Assassin.

STORY OF THE MURDER OF CROWLEY. One of the Most Atrocious of Crimes, the Outcome of a Deep ami Well Planned Conspiracy—Prominent Young Men Who Figure. Atlanta, Ga., September ‘2o.—The complete details of the murder of For rest Crowley in a thicket just beyond West View cemetary, this city, on Tuesday last, have just been made pub lic. The mutilated body of the mur dered man was found only yesterday, and this brings to light a conspiracy that has been going on for two weeks or more. Crowley was manager of the Roswell wollen mill, and though only 27 years of age, was a man of considerable business experience, and handled large interests. Story of the Bloody Crime. Circumstantial evidences points strong ly to Will Myers as one of his murder ers. The motive was robbery. Crow ley had S7OO on his person at the time of his murder. Myers had induced him to come to the city from Roswell, a vil lage twenty-four miles above here on the Richmond and Danville. Myers stated that he wanted to buy some mules from Crowley and the latter sent them to the city. Under pretense of consulting a business partner Myers in duced Crowley to take a drive in the country. They left the city in a buggy at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. At 10:15 o'clock Myers came back alone. Craw ley's father, who is president of the Roswell manufacturing company, met Myers and inquired for his son. My ers made conflicting statements. Mr. Crowley shadowed • Myers and at 2 o’clock sqw him take a cab and drive to the union depot. That is the last heard of Myers. All that afternoon and night police, detectives and friends searched for Crowley. They feared that he had been killed. Yesterday morning his father and Detective Cason found the body two miles beyond the city limits. The Assassins Bet the Money. Young Crowley's purse was missing. In one pocket was $1 HO which had been overlooked. The surroundings indi cated that two men did the murder. Crowley had been shot in the head and then his skull was crushed. His mur derers had walked on their heels for 100 yards in leaving the spot. Myers has not been found. It is thought that he is making for Cincin nati where his father was at one time a Pinkerton detective. Myers is only 19 years old. lie is a member of the Gate City Guard, the swell military company here. lie graduated at a military school here but has never worked. He is a right handsome fellow, muscular, has a pleasant address and was always neatly dressed. Charles Jones, a nephew of Rev. Sam P. Jones, the evangelist, was arrested this afternoon on suspicion. He is a chum of Myers. Jones declares that he .knows nothing of the murder. TRAFFIC MANAGERS CONVENE. Session of Railroad Men in Atlanta to Adjust Freight Rates on Cotton.
