The Nogro Caught,
The negro who made an assult on the
young white lady at Blackshear yester
day, was captured on a farm where he
was at work about a mile and a half
from the town yesterday afternoon. He
was committed to jail but the sheriff
fearing violence brought him to Way-
cross last night for safe keeping. Sheriff
Miller refused to receive him and he
was carried back to Blackshear. We
have heard nothing further from the
case and suppose the citizens of Black
shear and vicinity will let the law take
its course.

Mr. Charley Murpheys bicycle from off

half a mile from town, that gentleman
seeing Hist he was not very expert in
. the management of the machine, called
and asked where he got that bicycle.
The negro then ran leaving the wheel in

What Would the Editors Do.
The House of Representatives of Mas
sachusetts has solemnly passed a bill
making it a crime for one man to “treat”
or “set’em up” to another, as these
phrases are commonly understood. That
is to pay for another man’s drinks. The
bill was introduced as a joke, it. is said,
but passed the body by nearly two-
thirds majority. Such a law would not

Second district scftns to have about

Mr. Turner has not announced
himself a candidate for the Senate.
Such being the case Governor North-
en may consider him eligible for ap
pointment to the unexpired term.
The Herald wiil be satisfied with
whatever the governor-does.
PrcndergasPs postponed execution
might as well ndt take place at all.
Its possible good effect has all been
dissipated. Swift and certain death
is the only thing that exercises any
effective terrorism over crimiuala of
! his type. Chicago is practically put-

The Herald Thinks Mr. Cleveland Made
a Mistake.
The Hciald is in ’reception of the fol
lowing telegram just as we are going to
press:
Washington, D. C., March 29 ’94.
Special to the Herald.]'
President Cleveland has just sent in
his veto of the Bland seigniorage bill.
W.
The presidents veto was not entirely
unexpected, but tlic Herald in common
with a-large majority of democratic pa
pers in the state, and the hulk of the
democratic party in the south and west,
hoped that it might be otherwise. The
Bland bill and the coinage ot the seign
iorage are a small matter as com-
pared with the dissatisfaction which
the j veto will bring to the demo
cratic household. The bill had passed
both the house and the senate by good
majorities, and a majority of the cabinet
favored it, and in setting his judgement
up against that of the general assembly
of the nation, we think Mr. Cleveland
has made a grievous error. The veto
will bo used by the enemies of the party
for all it is worth, but there must he no
desertion of our colors. We must stand
firmly on the democratic platform and
fight for its principles as long as there is
a pea in the dish. And after all, as we
have stated, the Bland bill is not of
much consequenpe of itself, but it is the
family foss that will inevitably follow,
which ire dread and’depredate.
A Brutal Murder in Florida.
Jasper, Fla., March 27.—There is
great excitement at Ellaville, a few miles
south of this place, over the murder of
Mrs. Turner, an aged woman, and Miss
Kpsv, a 15-ycJir old girl. The woman
aud the gj«i were alone in the house laSt
night This morning the girl was found
in the road in front of .theyhouse with gj
herdmun^l&af4/ul.-“OM 'Mra.Tttmer was ■££
found dead in the house,her head having
also been beaten to a jelly. An ax or a
hatchet had been -used by the murderer.
An examination of the body of the girt
showed that she had been ravished. It
is supposed that after the fiend had sat
isfied his lust he slew the girl and the
old woman to prevent; his crime being
discovered. There is no clew to the mur
der, but it is supposed to have been the
work of a negro tramp who was seen
near the house at nightfall. The peo-
bcen our guests for some weeks, left to-
Hay for their home at Plainfield New
Jersey. Our people^ have been very
much pleased with Mr. Vanderbick and
his charming wife, and the Herald is
happy to announce that they liave prom
ised to return another season. It is al
togetherlprobablc that Mr. Vanderbick
will be a real estate owner in the Magic
City before a great while. Men of the
Vanderbick stripe are what Waycross
needs and such uieu arc more than wel
come to our town. —
