When GEORGIAN MURDERED. Foul Crime In Mississippi Arouses Great Indignation, Laurel, Miss., Dec. 11.—The remains of William Lawrence, the young white man from Jonesboro, Ga., who was murdered at the camp of Eastman, parder & Co., 12 miles west of Laurel, last Saturday, have been carried to Jonesboro for interment by the fath er of the murdered man. This city and section is greatiy ex citedi over the murder and the affair will be thoroughly Investigated. J. C. McCormick, Albert Johnson, W A. Harpe, all prominent officials of Eastman. Carder & Co., and Albert McGee, a negro barber, are under ar- lt came up for passage Mr. Cann, of j refi t charged with being implicated In Chatham, who had the bill placed on I '- 1(1 crime the calendar, explained its provisions and it was passedi by a vote of 104 to 1. The following bills were passed: By Mr. Singletary of Thomas (by re quest by the house)—To Incorporate the Hopeful school district, in Mitch ell county. By Mr. Howard of Baldwin—To pro. vide for the maintenance of a dispen sary In the city of Mllledgerllle, In Baldwin county. By Messrs. Howard and Hicks of Laurens—To create the city court of Dublin. In the Senate. The senate waded right through the general^ appropriations hill in short order yesterday. Few of the items in the bill created any considerable dis cussion, though now and then there was brief debate. The bill was passed at the morning session by a vote of 81 to G. The senate voted the state sanitari um 8310,000, the amount originally asked for by the trustees before the house committee, in addition to which It provided, as stated, that tho salary of the superintendent and other expen ses should not come out of this fund. This is tantamount to an appropria tion of 8315,000 to the asylum. The senate, by a vote of 21 to 18, 'put back the appropriation to the Con federate Soldiers’ home to 815,000. The house gave the home 812.500, a cut of 82,500 from the amount given last year. The senate committee made a still further cut, giving the home only 810, 000. Senator Sneed, of the twnety-ninth, offered the amendment increasing the amount to 815,000, and made an elo quent appeal for the old soldiers. The general assembly, having accepted the home, was under an obligation amount Ing practically fo a contract to givo the home this amount, he said. The following hills were passed by tho senate: By Senator McMIchael of the twenty- fourth—To authorize street and sub urban railroadrs in counties contiguous to the state line, to extend their lines Into adjoining states. By Senator McMIchael of the Twen- ty-fourth—-To authorize str.eot railway companies in Georgia to Increase theft capital stock, and to Issue preferred stock to take up outstanding securities. By Mr. Thompson, of Hall—To pro vide for the removal of obstructions from the creeks and running streams of Hall county . SOVEREIGNTY ENDANGERED* Tile trial here of these men Is set for today. An autopsy on the body of the dead man was made by Drs. Johnson, Hep- ard and Hamsey. The result of the analysis of the brain and stomach has not been made public, hut, It is said, the testimony of these physicians will be sensational. There will be about GO witnesses, and the trial will likely consume con siderable time. Miller and Beskin, of Meridian, and It. E. Halsell, of Lau- rel, will prosecute, while N. C. Hill, of Hittsburg, B. W. Sclrarbrough, of Paulding, and Shannon and Street will represent the defense. Lawrence was shot in tpo hack abopt 3 o'clock Satur. day afternoon and died about o'clock that night. It is said d-rugs were used to finish the atrocious deed One of the eyes had been removed and poison inserted In the brain, it Is claimed. Eastman, Garder & Co. are assisting the officers in every way possible, and- tho guilty parties will surely be found and made lo suffer for the hellish crime. The city is crowded with people from the sur rounding country and excitement runs high. Seeing Is Believing.

Comment on Anglo-German .Interven tion In Venezuela, New York, Dec. 13.—Referring to the Anglo-Oerman intervention in Ven ezuela, the Buenos Ayres correspo ndent of The Herald says all the news papers there see In It a danger for all South American republics, as It tends to establish a precedent endangering their sovereignty. The general opin ion Is that the Investment of foreign capital, though desirable for the devel opment of the countries, cannot give foreigners special rights. Some pa pers compare actual Intervention with recent events In China. The Prenza says: "The Anglo-German military action has violated the rights and disregards tho sovereignty of South American re publics.” It adds that the German claims as a public debt are without precedent In the history of South America. The Prenza attributes the whole af fair to European imperialists, who are Inspired with hostile intentions against the Increasing Influence of the United States, and urges 8outh American diplomats to watch developments. The government, organ at Rio Ja neiro declares, according to a Herald dispatch, that AngloGerman action tends to modify the relations between Europe and America and that the firm and noble attitude of President Castro cannot but be admired by all true Americans. In Panama, says The Herald corre spondent, the forcible seizure and use- less sinking of the Venezuelan gun boats has caused great excitement and indignation, and has made an unpleas ant impression upon Colombians In general and isthmians In particular, who are opposed to the coercive meth ods of European governments.
