THREE NEGROKS LYNCHED.
Murdi r - Furttu r Crouble Pearrd. |
Chicago, December 3 —A speoial to the
Times from Brenham, Tex., says: At an
early hour yesterday morning an armed
mob came to town, overpowered the jailer
and took out Shoo Foldner, Alfred Jones
and Ephraim Jones, three of the negroes
implicated in the killing ot Dswees Bolton,
nt Fieweilen's store, in this county, on tho
night of tne eleotion, and lynched them.
It Was so quickly dons that tho town was
not aroused. The bodies of the three men
were found hanging to a tree io the morn-
It was thought the feeling against
restitution, so far as it ley within his
power. Httioe then all nia property
which could bo found, including a fine
bouse on Ellis avenue, bus been turned over
to Ames.
Uizo could not be found last night, bnt
it is believed he is stopping for tbe present
with his father. Besides tho extravagant
manner in which he and bis wite lived, it
is asserts' the t Miza ut various times .sup
ported three other women, on wnoiu he
lavished money with generous ban A
coal, measures and seams, sum totul and
value of its oosis. Its excellent quality is
shown by analysis, experiments showing
its great advantages for oheup mining and
transportation. Ths counties ot Marion,
Winston, Cull nan, Lamar, Fayctle, Jeffer
son and Tuscaloosa are separately described
as to their phv aioal and peologioal characters.
It states although Alabama ranks only
eighth In tho Union iu the aoreuge of 1U
ooal measures, it take a front rank in the
quantity and quality of its ooal, and that
tne Warrior Coal field with an ara of 7,811)
sqaare miles, is about taro-thirds as large as
tbe ooal area of Great Britiao. Its coal
measures are over 3,0 0 feet thick, contain
ing fifty-three seams of coal being from a
few inebes to fourteen feet thick, having a
euuibiurti tuiuaueig ut iVet 125 .Cot of puts
coal. It is estimated they contain not less
than 113.119,(100,000 tons, of which abont
108 394,' 00 000 tons would be available coal,
valued now a: ubont $150,000,000,000 at the
mines, of which *30,000,000, 00 would bo a
profit, being about 200 times the present
total assessed value of tho property in Ala
bama, and would buy every foot of Ala
luma territory at $900 per uore. The excel
leacy cf these coals and their ail rentage for
cheap alining and transportation are fully
dwelt upon, and it is stated very soon they
will four lo i-ompeiitic.il in the Gulf and
South Atlantic porta. These coals, like
those of other fields in Alabama, are espe
cially enhanced in value owing to the prox
imity of vast deposits of red and brown
iron ores, and lmieatona untqualed any'
where.
Tho coal production in Alabama increas-
ed from 11.000 tons in 1870 to 2.22A000
t' ns in 1885; the coke production from IM,-
7*1 tons in 1880 to 304.500 tons in 1885.
SSix atv, ntha of the 1885 caul production
was from the Warrior coal field. The fur-
naocs aril railroads in Alabama tou.timed
four-fifths of it. The coke output was
neorlv all onnsnmod iu the State. Tho
wealth of the Warrior coal fields iu build

Chicago. December 4 —A speelal to the

of Minneapolis nr., diacn-sfog a stupendous
scheme tc consolidate all the mills under
ono management. It l< a matter which bus
been talked of more or less foi the past
three yoar*, but latnly it baa boen c insider-
ed seiion.ly. Aotivo steps have Icon taken
which are expected to result in consolida
tion. Tbs sshomo posaeasca many advan
tage*. The cost of buying win at and sell
ing flour would, of oouis), amount to very
little. Much a combination would make as
much or aa little flour as desired,
and it wonld oontrol such product as it
placed upon the market Its tffecton trade
would be enormous, and it wonld be an in-
■dilation a* powerful a* tbe Htoudard
Oil Company. There are, however,
many difficulties to overoom*
in forming anch a company,
among which aro arriving at a proper vain,
(ion of each piece of property, the value of
brands, trade, etc. It the combination we*
formed, the eomprny would have a capital
of $10,000,009. It would take in all ths
mill* except the Washburn mills, which
under th* will of the late GorernurWaeh
burn cannot become a party to such au or
gsuiz ition. At a meeting of tne millers
held several day* ago, * committee wa* ap-
p,rated to consider and report on a tea*!-

The Government Dtf.sird by a Sl. J.rlly
ot 13-luten*e Excitement. ■
Paris, D-cember 3.—In tbe Chamber of
Depone*, M. Karrien, minister of tbe inte
rior, speaking in opposition to a motion for
the total abolition of tbe uffices ut sab-
prefect, promised that h* wonld Introduce
a bill providing for a partial abolition of
the office. Prime Minister de Freydnet
sopporird M. Sarrien and reproached the
opposition for seizing every ebane* lhat
rffar-d to overthrow the government. Th*
Clumber, however, adopted tbe motion for
total abolition by a majority of 13 votes,
thus defeating tne government, and it i* re
ported that M.H. de Freyein't, Harritn and
Goblet, minister of publie instruction, will
resign. Thtio was intense excitement in
ill* lobbies of the chsnsbcre. Afto» th*
vote ws* announced tha sitting of tbs
chamber was suspended et tbe instance of
M. de Freycraet, in order that tbe cabinet
might consider its position. The ministers
are no* (5:30 p. in.) holding a meeting.
After tbe caoinet meeting the ministers
went to tbe Etyaee Palace aud tendered
their resignations to Prwid 'nt Gravy.
Paris, December 3 —The cabinet will
meat to-merrs*. It ia bdievM th*t Presi
dent Gravy is evrrae to yliseolrtng the min-
Ltry and will ask M. deFruycinet to reform
the cabinet. MM. 8arrine, de VtHe and
Goblet will probably insist upon retiring.
