victed ou the charge of slandering

The penalty is from six months to

discretion of the court.
Joe Carden, an engineer, at Chatta¬
nooga, Tenn., lost his months’ wages
in sidered a gambling hell. He had been con¬
an exemplary young man,
and was so overwhelmed with remorse
that he preferred death to facing his
wife, took rough on rats and died.
The Howard, Harrison Iron com¬
pany of Bessemer, Ala., has shipped
twelve car loads of iron piping to
Philadelphia, Pa., the first instalment
of a 10,000 ton contract they have with
the Quaker City for iron pipe to be
used in the water mams of that city.
It has been ascertained that the shot
which killed J. W. White, an account
of whose murder while Ashing on
Newnau’s Lake, FIs., has appeared in
our news columns, was fired by Tom
L. Boulware, and a subscription has
been raised to prosecute the murderer
if caught.
A good looking young man went
from house to house along Borean av¬
enue, Atlanta, Ga., offering for sale a
large Bible which he said was the last
of his stock. Ho found a purchaser
at last, receiving the price, $1.75, and
departed. It was afterward found to
be the pulpit Bible of the 5th Baptist
church, which had been slolen.
A cyclone swept over Long View,
Texas, leaving devastation in its
track. Six miles east of that place
it struck a large country house in a
grove of twenty large oaks. Every
tree was uprooted, live persons killed
and eight badly hurt, most of whom
will probably die. Hail as large as
eggs fell for several hours, and it is
said that the destruction wro ught is
indescribable.
In Matagorda county, Texas, a mob
of fifty negroes went to the house of
H. G. Boulditi and shot him to death.
Duly one white man resides in fifteen
miles of the place. Constable Hunt

ed—the report |says—sixteen of tho
negroes and conveyed them to Mata¬
gorda jail. Boulditi had brought these
negroes from Alabama and settled
them on his lands.

ing enraged at him, had taken this
mcthodofwreakingvengeai.ee.
Onr news columns have already re¬
ported the case of the two young men
whose failure to return from a boat
ride at Rome, Ga., had caused so
much anxiety. We now have later
news, to the effect that the body of
one of them, Charles Bennett, was
found in the Coosa river, half a mile
below the shoals and two and a half
miles below the city. The search for
the body of Anderson continues.
The Queen & Orescent route lias

Additional particulars of the ruin
left in the tracks of the late storms
that swept over the southwest are
published. At Nacogdoches, Texas,
a cyclone in the evening was followed
by a tornado in the morning, rain
falling in sheets. Every house of a
negro colony near that place was
bl ° W " !UVa y- Dan Gri,UUS > ei S ! “
miles away from there, was killed
“In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abonnd,”
and his vifo fatally injured. In a
settlement two miles east all the
houses were wrecked, and two per¬
sons killed. At and near Lufkin
many houses were destroyed, many
people injured and their household
goods scattered everywhere, leaving
them no shelter from the downpour
of rain which continued all day.
The Portugese minister at Rio de
Janeiro having refused to give up the
rebel Admiral De Gama and his staff,
who had taken refuge on a Portugese
vessel, the government has sent the
demand to Portugese government at
Lisbon. A Portugese merchant
steadier attempting to leave the har¬
bor was fired on from the forts and
detained for search. Ninety-one in¬
surgents were found among her crew
and passengers and taken ashore.
The government has taken over a
thousand prisoners, including the sick
and wounded. About half were fight¬
ing men.
At Romo, Ga., John Anderson,
train dispatcher of the E. T, V. & G.
railroad, and Charles Bennett, son of
8, B. Bennett, master of trains,
started out for a ride in a row boat
about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Not
returning at night great uncssiness
was excited among their friends.
Next morning search parties were or¬
ganized. Three miles down the river
the boat’s rudder was found, stranded
on an island, and, ten miles below,
the boat itself was discovered bottom
side up. No trace of the young man
can be found and the conclusion that
they were drowned is forced upon
their family and friends.
At Lee’s store, near Norfolk, Va.,
Mrs. Henry Hugo shot and killed
Fred Watts. Watts had gone to the
home of the Hugos and finding Edith
Hugo, a 15-year-old daughter, there
alone, had assaulted her, and forced
her, under threats of killing if she
revealed the crime, to swear that she
would not disclose it. The girl was
taken ill, and growing rapidly worse,
was sent to St. Vincent’s hospital,
where the attending physician discov¬
ered the crime, and promptly reported
it to her parents. Mrs. Hugo went to
the store, and, finding tho young fiend
there, sent a bullet from her pistol
into his miserable carcass, and put an
end to his career.
Henry McDonald, tho man whose
escapade with a young woman who
left her home in Atlanta, Ga., and
went with him to Chattanooga, where
he was imprisoned on a charge of ob¬
taining board on false pretenses, made
a sensation some weeks ago, seems to
have become partially insane, as a re¬
sult of his debauchery and brooding
over his misdeeds. Information
comes from Chattanoogo that he tried
recently to kill himself in the jail of¬
fice by beating his head against the
brick wail, and was only restrained
by force. Later he made a desperate
effort to get possession of a pistol
from the belt of his keeper, Mr. Skil
ern. After the mania passed oil he
seemed to have no recollection of his
actions. Coroner Gohagan had a long
talk with him, and expresses the opin¬
ion that, though his mind is lucid
generally, he is afflicted with tempo¬
rary dementia. Sheriff Kilern had
wired McDonald’s father informing
him of his son’s condition, and advis¬
ing to came at once.
From Memphis, Tenn., comes a re¬
port of the heaviest rainfall that ever
occurred in that section—nearly seven
inches in thirty-six hours. Washouts
on all railroads, freight traffic sus¬
pended. One hundred feet of South
and Georgia sreets caved into the riv¬
er, carrying oue of the tracks of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
railroad. Streets were flooded and
traffic suspended for half a day after
the rain ceased. Twelve miles south
of Jackson, Tenn., four cars of a
freight train were wrecked by the
failing of a bridge after the engine
and ten cars had gone safely over.
The sewers at Forest City, Ark.,
burst and Hooded the town. White
river has reached tho flood stage and
the Mississippi lias passed the danger
line. Weakened as they are by tho
rains, the levees are in ill condition to
resist the strain of tee present pres¬
sure, which must be greatly increased
by floods coming down from the upper
rivers. The outlook for the planters
along the river is very serious.
Recently there was a trades’ union
demonstration in London, England,
in favor of a measure known as the
employers’ liability bill, and against
the house of lords. The fact that the
procession, inarching from four to
ten abreast, required two hours to
pass a given point, while thousands
moved along on either flank of the
column, gives some idea of the vast¬
ness of the throng. Banners in the
procession represented ail trades.
But tho most significant things were
the mottoes and transparencies. One
truck carried a coffin, with the Union
Jack surmounted with the motto:
“The veto coffin of the house of
lords.” The truck was both preceded
and followed by groups of signs, such
as “Down with the lords,” “No he
reditary lawmakers,” “The lords
threw out the employers’ liability bill,
let us throw them out.” There were
above 100 bands in the line- Twelve
platforms had been erected in Hyde
Park, and more than a hundred speak
ers addressed the multitude. It is
said that the good temper of all this
vhst throng was only once interrupted,
and that by members of two rival
bands coming to blows on a question
about which baud was entitled to a
certain place in lino.
CRIMES and CASUALTIES.
A bomb was exploded in a church
at Grouohle, Franco, injuring twenty
persons, three of them fatally.
James Conroy and William Clancy
were shot and killed by Thomas
Locker, in a saloon at Tolliston, Ind.
Locker escaped.
The carsheds of the Missouri Street
Railway company, at St. Louis, were
set on tire by lightning and consumed.
The sheds covered an entire biocii.
Eleven motor cars and forty-eight
trailers were burned. Loss, $80,000;
fully insured.
A series of murders and murderous
assaults have recently occurred in the
vicinity of VVilkesbano. Pa., (he eli
max of'which was reached in an affair
at Midvale, when John Sohaudow shot
Mike Bockrock fatally and then fled,
firing right and left and killing a
2-year-old babe in the arms of
mother. The crowd, in a frenzy, pur¬
sued him. Retreating into his house,
he Extinguished the lights, and as the
crowd surged against the door fired on
them from an upper window.
arriving with an armed posse, fired on
him, wounding hitn severely, and at
length effected his capture, and con¬
ducted him safely to prison, keeping
the mob oil' with drawn revolvers,
llis wounds were supposed to be mor
tal.
What Can Be Done.
The Lewis brothers of Talladega
county have 5,000 acres of land, all
beautifully terraced, and, what will
sound strange to a black belt farmer,
there is not a negro on it. They have
eighty.four people employed, every
one white, and they are farming on a
scale that is bound to be successful.
They have a cotton seed oil mill on
their farm and extract the oil from
ail their seed, thus making a good
profit. They use the hulls for fatten¬
ing and wintering their cattle and re¬
turn the meal to soil, thus enriching
the land.
They are just about completing a
5,800 spindle yarn mill, and will con¬
vert every pound of cotton they
into yarns. By this means they save
the expense of packing and marketing
cotton and get the profit of the middle
men. They save the enormous freights
on cotton to the mills of New England
aud ha ve a market for their yarns in
the mills all around them.

4 Grand Jury Excused From Furtkei
Service.
In the Unitea States district court
in session at Birmingham, Judge
Bruce, on morion of District Attorney
O’Neal, discearged the grand jury on
the ground that the jury was no long¬
er serviceable in carrying out the pur¬
poses of the ljiw. Assistant Attorney
Hawkins, addressing the court,
said: ‘‘The court well knows,
that thore has been com¬
mitted to this grand jury a large num¬
ber of cases of greatest importance to
the public, and, which involved many
intricate facts. Of these cases in
particular, my observation and ex
perience has led me to believe there
cannot be an impartial investigation
by Ibis grand jury.” The foreman of
the jury, Mr. Mitchell, being question¬
ed by the court, replied: “The great¬
er portion of the unfinished business
was a class of important cases which
lie was led to believe tho jury would
not properly consider.”—It is alleged
that in the face of the most positve
evidence in cases submitted, the grand
jury invariably stood eleven for con¬
viction aud seven for “no bill.”
The Hungarian Pa riot.
The death of Kossuth stirs the hearts
of Hungarians, as that of a father.
He showed signs of consciousness to
the last. He expired in the arms of
his son, a-id pressing the hand of the
lluugarian Deputy, Ivaroly. The
members of his family and a few of
his intimate friends stood around the
bedside of the expiring patriot. The
municipal authorities of Turin have
offered the family to allow the remains
to be buried in the patheon here.
