An Exciting Scene in the Tenn
essee Penitentiary.
TOM WOOLFOLK INTERVIEWED.
Macon, Ga.. November 7.—[Special.]—
i Tom Woolfolk.|eliained by the aiiklo to the
; wall of his cell, appeared at the grating this
• morning to greet Mr. S. E. Chambliss, who,
I accompanied by several gentlemen, among
I whom was a Constitvtion reporter, paid him
a visit.
“Well, Tom, you are looking better than !
when I saw you last,” remarked .Mr. Cham- I
bliss.
“'\es. I am somewhat fleshier, but suffering
a little from cold.'’
'•How did you fare in Atlanta?”
"Oil. I had a good time. 1 was treated verv
well there.”
"if it's a fair question, what do you think of ;
I your approaching trial?”
! "I feel like if .1 get justice, I will come out i
‘ all right. All I ask is a fair trial, and I feel |
j like the Good Lord will be witli me.”
i "That is what everybody desires, Tom, is to j
; give you justice.”
" Yes, ami if they do, I will come ciear. I !
I believe there are good people as well as bad
' oiies, in Macon, and I hope for a fair, honest
trial. Whoever says that 1 killed my parents,
tells a <l—d lie. 1 never harmed mail, woman
or child in my life, much less murdered any
body. I have always tried to live right.”
"There are some circumstances connected
witli the matter that will have to be cleared
U P” „
"1 es. T know that. But Ido not fear them
that have power over the body, and have made
peace with my Maker, and 1 trust in Him. I
have been wrongfully treated and have suff
ered much. lam st ill suffering for a crime of
i which lam not guilty, many mon have suff
. ered in the same manner.”
■ "But, you know, Tom, that when all the
| family were murdered you were all the one
, that escaped, and you went back there aftor
i wards to see if they were dead.”
“That is true, and had I not have jumped
out of tlie house and run I would have been ■
I murdered as they were. I could not realize
I that they were dead until I went back, and
j that is why I went back.”
"Tom, do you suspect anybody at all of com-
■ mining the crime?'’
j “No, I suspect nobody. How could I, when
; I saw no one. I know this much: Threats
■ were made against my father, and against
I Smith, too. for my father told me so. I know
I when my father went and got his sawmill, he
i went with armed assistance, as ho afterwards
I told me. Mind you, I accuse no one. I only
■ know of these threats, as father afterwards
I told me,and I know that that man met me and
; asked where father was, and I told him it was
I not necessary to see father, as I had the notes
| and he could settle with me. But 1 accuse no
I one, because 1 saw no one.”
j “I have heard something of this. If your
innocence can be established it will be a soil rco
of consolation to all the community out there;
! but you know the story as you told it to mo
that morning. All that will have to be cleared
up.”
“I have known, for some time,” answered
Hie prisoner, his eyes flashing and his face
filled with passion, “that you were against
me, and I liave heard what you have said on
several occasions. I know no more about tliat
killing than you did. But if they punish me,
1 am man enough to stand all they can put
< on me. I have heard that one man said ho
t would kill me on sight. I reckon he would
I like to see me in chains here now, to get ah
I opportunity.'’
"But. Tom. you know that I prevented them
from killing you there. Had it not been fdr
my counsel they would have hung you at
once.”
“Well, I didn’t care then. You all might
have taken that same ax and knocked me in
the head with it. My people wfero all dead;
what did I want to live for ? Then everybody
pitched right on to file because I was the only
one left. Had it been my father preserved, in
stead of me, they would have had him in chains
here today, in the same way.” As lie spoke the
[ prisoner's frame fairly quivered with excite
ment, and his eye gleamed witli anger, as the
' conversation grew more pointed, until he re
j marked;
“It is an unpleasant subject to me,and if you
! will excuse me, we will change the conversa
tion.'’
i “Certainly; Ido not wish to press.it, Tom,
i but I just wish to say that everybody wants to
! see you iiave a fair trial, and if you are inno
j cent, no man wants to see it proven more
i than I.”
“That will all be explained in the court
-1 house. I know you are against me, ;ind lam
; in prison, but when 1 regain niy freedom J will
i give you or any other man all the satisfaction
I he wants.”
Jailer Birdsong here interposed, and the
| party were asked to retire. In the office uu-
I derneath could bo heard the clank of Wool
i folk's chain as he strode backward and for
| ward in his cell overhead, still laboring under
I the excitement of the interview.
It is the first time he has seen a man from
| that neighborhood, and he exhibited more pas
' sifin tljaii he has evinced before. His iiwe,
when lighted pp with the tires of passion, has
' a terrible expression, nimh different from his
I ordinary stolid and iriipassive look, and his
i eye fairly flashes tire as he becomes more and
‘ more wrought up.
Macon. Ga.. November B.—[Special.]—
! John C. Kutherford will represent Woolfolk
if Ids fees arc secured. Colonel Rutherford
I states he was absent from the state when the
• killing occurred, but that in a short interview
; with Woolfolk lie was impressed with the fact
' that he could not have made the statement un
i less he was an innocent man. In this state
i nient he accounts for every suspicious circum
stance against him and shows very clearly
tliat he hiniself would have been killed had
| not liis brother been aroused beford ho was.
■ His brother entered his father’s room just be
l fore he did, and a<t his brother
: entered he, was knocked down, then Tom ran
j and jumped out of the window and gave the
i alarm. He met a negro soon after he jumped
| and tried to get him to return with him and
j render assistance and while talking witli the
; negro both heard blows and screams in the
house. A short while afterwards tliey heard
voices in the house and saw several parties
l leave. The clothes found in the well were his
1 brother's clothes and the washerwoman will
so swear. The tracks in the blood were bare
foot tracks and were made by Tom
' and he .so slated that night, and
after some of the neighbors had arrived
he took a bowl of water ami washed the blood
! from bis feet and hands in their presence. Col
onel Rutherford states bis interview was a
j short one, but he was impressed with the fact,
: from a long experience as a criminal lawyer,
i that he could not have ma<lc the statement in
the way and manner that he did, had he been
guilty. Torn exhibited much indignation and
i sorrow tl:at the people should believe he had
: killed li's own father and those so nearly and
i dearly related to him.
Maon, Ga., November 9.—[Special.]—Mrs.
Tom Woolfolk and her parents, Mr. and .ltrs.
Thomas Bird, were in town today. Mr. Bird
paid a visit to 'J oin and they stood and talked
‘ quite pleasantly for some time together, hold
ing each other by the hand. Tom said ho did
not care, to sec h's wife.
I Mrs. Woolfolk lias recently received four
letters from Tom, relating his jail experience.:,
and the strange dreams ho ba -, in which lie
sees his “dear old father,” as he expresses it.

An Kxcitlny Scene Tn Tennefefcee** State
J’rJfon,
Nashville, Tenn., November B.—Tt has
just developed that there was trouble at the
state penitentiary last night. An alarm was
sounded from wing No. 2. and wi <-u Ed Welh,
1 the doorkeeper, and W. P. 1 nylor, on ■ of the
I guards, rushed into the whig they found ev
; ervthing in confusion.

Lamb, two of the bolters, who arc white con
victs, were called on to force King into his
coll, and when they camo forward to carry out
their orders, Jim Norman, armed witli a heavy
iron cleaver, George Randolph and about a
dozen other negroes, rushed to King's assis
tance and defied the men. A general tight en
sued during which Henry Lamb was stabbed
in the muscles of tiie back and James Tucker
badly bruised about the head witli the cleaver
in the hands of Norman.
John LaKey, one of the bolters, ran to the
assistanceof Lamband Tooker, but. was or
dered to retire, under penalty of death by the
negroes. He left immediately. The muti
nous convicts threatened also to kill John
Parsons, the guard, if he interfered, but before
they could carry their threat into execution
Messrs. Wells and Taylor arrived and dispersed
tlie men.
These officers arrived at a very opportune*
time, and by their prompt action, prevented a
most serious row. The convicts were very
much excited, and seemed prepared to go to
the extreme of folly. They were evidently
prepared for the affray, as was shown by sev
eral being armed witli knives, and one with a
cleat er.
When Taylor started up the wing several
convicts not in the row begged hint not to go
near or he would be killed. Alter being cut,
Lamb was thrown off the ualk to the ground,
a distance of about ten feet.

front whtcli lie died in a tew hours. '
Mrs. Morgan testified that on Sunday night,
October 30, between 6 and 7 o’clock two men
came to her house. “There was a light in the
house. One of Hie men had his hat pulled
over his face. They said to Ml). Morgan to
come out into the yard, that tliey had come to
kill him. They dragged him out into the yard
and clubbed him until lie fell over.
They struck me. My oldest daughter was out
in the garden witli me. One of tlie men,the one
without, said; "Choke them d—<l children
and make them stop their fuss.” I thought I
recognized the voice of Ed McAlpin. 1 live

one mid a half miles of him, Ho has been to
my house many times. I did not hear the mon
say wbat they were going to kill Morgan for.
They staid about ten minutes.”
Isora Morgan, a daughter of Mrs. Morgan,
between twelve and thirteen years of age, tes

“I don’t know who killed my father. I saw
two meh but didn't knoiv them. They com
meficed beating fatltor Slid dragged him out

New York Socialists Make a Demonstra
tion.
New Yobk. November in.—There was a
large, peaceable procession of sympathizers
with socialism in this city tonight, to protest
against the hanging of the anarchists in Chi
cago, tomorrow. 'lho paraders were all or
derly and no sign of a disturbance occurred.
It might have been different, had Johann
Most and other anarchist speakers harangued
; the crowd at Union Square s was at first con
i templated; but subsequent arrangement did
I away with all chance of a conflict between the
! socialists and authorities. It was after
i nine o’clock when the solemn march of pro
j test began down proadway. I.urge numbers
i witnessed the parade despite the inclement
I weather and tlie scene was impressive, as
I the long line of men, three thousand strong,
passed down Broadway with tea and
1 black Hags, all heavily draped in crape,
! the bands playing the -‘dead march from
Saul,” and the "Marseilles.” There were
I many transparencies too, bearing the words;
i "lieware of insurrection.”
"Gallows contra liberty.”
I "Ye sons of toil awake to glory.”
“Allons enfant? de la patri.”
There were no police in the parade, but largo
forces were ma 1 >ed inside the street-. and a
! police patrol box near i-aii street in Broadway
was open, ready to out an alarm for rein

Notwithstanding this rebuff, Miss Northrup and
her mother remained in the marshal’s office while a
messenger was dispatched to find some one who
would marry them. After waiting some little time
mother and dvughtor left disgusted. Mrs. Northrup,
the mother, said to Marshal McGowan that if
Mary could not marry Billingsky in this city
she would go to Jeflefson City, and if the
officers there would not allow the marriage to take
p’ace, she would live in .letlerson City until
Billingsley served out his sentence. When the
mother and daughter left the marshal’s office they
•lid not give up their intention of getting some one
to perform the ceremony. They went to the office
of Justice. Thomas King and after much solicitation
he agreed to marry the couple and accompanied the
mother and daughter to the Second street jail.
A deputy marshal cleared a space in the corridor
of the jail, and invited a)l the officials of the. crim
nal court and recorder's office to witness the cere
mony, which was performed in impressive style by
the justice. Mrs. BHlin sley rushed into her bus
band's arms and sobbed violently, and then mother
and daughter embraced each other. Billingsley's
handcuffs were removed during the ceremony.

A AVON DU It Fl I. RIVFIt
I
In AVhleli the Remains of Vlen and Animals
Become J.lire Marble.
Tine Crrr, November 9.—There are two
I gentlemen temporarily stopping hero whft
have been spendieg the summer in thb north
westterritory, Tliey report a f iver of small
voluptc, a tributary ot the SaskatchCfvan,
whose waters are so thorou&hlj impregnated
with carbonate of limo, that any substance im
mersed therein immediately turtiS to stone.
Tliey have many specimens of potrifled wood,
leaves, etc.,'showing the exact textiire of the
original article. A [sirloin of beef immersed
in the water a few months comes out rugged
and solid and suitable to take rank with the
best quality of bpilding stone. Animals ac
cidentally killed ate found in its waters hard
ened and preserved. 'J'hr; body of an officer in
the regular army, killed in an Indian
skirmish and left beneath the immortaliz
ing waters of this placid stream, was
found months after petrified with
such completeness that it resembled the finest
grade of Parian marble, and the features re
tained such distinctiveness that Im was readily
recognized by even casual acquaintances.
These discoveries have, led to the idea of form
ing a syndicate to utilise this stream and do
away with the repulsive idea of cremation and
also the attendant hoftors of the tomb.
The company can be called the Great North
western I’ctritli ation association (limited) and
its business might consist in prov iding a cheap
rate of transports ion, er perhaps running a
regular cadaver train trmiseontiiientally, dam
ming tlie water; of the river mid anchoring the
inanimate, freight until saturation does its
complete work and returning them to their
surviving friends, with texture and sym
metry, far surpassing any known work
of art. This would do away with all the “base
uses” and prepare future Imperial Cn-sars to
beautify ami adorn their ancestral homes in
stead of becoming a mere lump of plastic ma
terial, which would only serve to "stop a hole
to keep tho wind away.”
Our friends can come back from the hands
of this syndicate with a durability that will
rival any of the sedimentary rocks, and be con
spicuously stit up to watch with their agato
eyes the manner in which their heirs and as
signs manage the paternal estates. Wo who
live to be grcat-grandfalhei.s may doserviceat
the front gates of our worthy descendants as
liitchlng-posts, and tho lino fences of future
I generations may be composed of the serried
i' columns of their adamantine ancestors. The

THE BLACK QUEEN,
Who Rules Her Progeny to the
Fourth Generation.
THE STORY OFTHE PEARSOLLFAMILY
South Florence, Ala., November 5
[Special.]—Near this place lives a colored
family, the story of whose existence is full of
example lor their white neighbors.
The family is composed of a widowed
mother 80 years old, a danghtof Sarah 53 years
old, and five sous. vi?.: John, who is u 6 years
old and married, Thomas, 48 years old and
married; Ben, 45 years old, unmarried; Rich
ard, 39 years old and married, and Robert, §4
years old and unmarried. These ages are
given in the start that it may be known how
old they were, the boys especially, at the time
of tlie surrender, In 1865, when the family
first realized that they were free and had to
start out to plan and labor to support them
selves; because their success from that date is
one of the remarkable features about them.
They were illiterate and full-blooded negroes,
not a drop of white blood coursing their veins.
The mother and all of her children remained
with their old mistress, the widow I’arthona
I’earsol, until the close of the lute war; faith
fully serving her wants and wishes, doing all
in their power to protect her and her interests,
running and secreting her stock in the moun
tains near by to keep tlie federal soldiers or
others from taking them. After tlie surrender
they wotked on tlie place asshare-croppers un
til the winter of 1869, and by that time were
able to provide stock, wagons and farming im
plements, so as to go to farming at their own
expense. In the fall ot 1869 they purchased
three hundred and sixty acres of land of tlie
I’earsol estate on four year’s time, for which
tliey paid up the last dollar in the fall of 1874.
being in all oiglit thousand and one hundred
dollars. In the fall of 1875 they purchased one
hundred and sixty acres from Dr. Win. Jar-
Nffn. for which they paid cash twenty-three
hundred dollars. So in Ihi ycafs they paid for
five hundred and twenty acres of land, ton
thousand four hundred dollars, as the net
profits of the five year’s labor.
Since that time it lias been a harder struggle
for farmers ty accumulate, but these indus
trious negroes have built for themselves, (Unit
is those who liave faiiiilies,) good and substan
tial frame residences, barns and all necessary
farm improvements; also a good ginhouse anil
cotton press with which they gin and bale their
own cotton. They, too, have all necessary
stock for tlio use' of farmers—horses, mules,
colts and hogs—and are generally prepared to
pay the cash for whatever they buy. They
have acquired some education in tlie. mean
time, and those who have children afford them
means and opjiortnnities to obtain an educa
tion which they profitably apply.
The aged mother lit es will: tier son John,
and supervises tlie business transactions of all.
When the boys sell their crops, she requires
each to deposit with her the money, after pay
ing debts, if any, which they all cheerfully do,
calling her their banker. When either of thoboyS
need money lie has to go to his mother and tell
Iter what hejwnnts to do yjlth it. If she ap
proves it, she counts it out to him, and whether
she does or not, it is agreeable with him, sub
mitting cheerfully to her decision. The cliil
dren mutually accord to her this prerogative,
and are ns obedient to her’will, as when boys
ten years of age, not duly in their financial
business, but they would toe) conscientiously
disobedient, or as nhdutijiil children, if they
wtre to |go to town witnpuf per permission,
which they always obtain before doing so. By
such discipline slib brought them up from in
fancy, tlnfil it becaifio a part of their [nature to
obey her will, and perhaps to this cause is at
tributable allot their Sit'cdcess. They never
frequent political or otherjueetiiigs, where dis
order is apt to occur, don’t have disputes with
neigtilloi'3, never \veto fiarties tn a law suit, as
pjainliffs or defendants, and tirA al
together peaceable and Jaw-abiding'
citizens, making the most of tltoir freedom
as becomes sensible men, and consequently
deserve and have won th" esteem and respect
of all their peaceable uxud. neigh
l.uo*,, wLUe niicf black.
The mother, old nssho is, witli the assistance
of her daughters and daughters-in-law, split
and weave mid make up all (lie ©Very day
clotliing for all tlie families, and she and they
live pcacefullyand harmonioitsly as one family,
the females likewise recognizing her aS mother
and queen of the family realm.
Numbers, both white tind black, go to see
this colored family. Here is taught discipline
by the head of the family, obedience by tlie
children, industry and economy by nil. Their
heijds were not turned by tlie song of “Forty
acres and a mule" and the promises of union
leagues; bnl by honesty, industry and cconotpy
they labored to live, aiid this is'the happy re
sult.
