prisoner is a young white’mau twenty-c ght
years of age, and renowne 1 for his treini • ;
physical strength. In his sprees bo ba
knocked out many of the poli* v f.nco lour at
onetime. He came to Savannah two years
ago. His real name and his a:it> ( • lents are
known to him-olf only. Ho kept a barroom
hero.
The crime with which ho is chargo-.l is well
remembered in this part of tht state. Laj.y
one morning last 3uly a party < f gentlemen
driving along Tybee le»-h from theOc an
house toward the south end of the island came
upon the l>ody of a young white n an who ap
parently bad an hour or two lx f>»ro bet n

The clothes were wet. and there v. a> a
slight froth over the dead mai. > !:>'

glance it was evident that the dead in wnas
the victim of foul play. Hi- head and bre a<t
bore marks indicating plainly that whoe'er he
was, the unfortunate man Lad h- < n murdcu-d.
Tli<’ party immediately began L> king ar. r.r.A
to discover evidence or a struggle. They Lad
not far to look. f<»r iu the sand -nine f>>r!v r. ;s

the Island the afternoon before, a?.d it was
learned that he had quite a >um of money on
his person the same night. K<>i'lx'ry was sup

although that was mere conjecture, as wa- ...-o
the identity of the m r-'er- r. S» far ns coMd
be learned, Thomas Cassidy, the proprietor of
a bar-room on West lir<> id str. et. near the
general oflice of the Central railroad, was the
last p< rson seen with Smith.
A jury was obtained at noon. The case will
last several days. 'J he state so far has shown
that Smith and Cassidy were toge ther at one
o’clock on the night of the murder, that the
footstcpis on the 1» a■ h fitted the sh« • s of Smith

In a .Macon paper, was issued a half column
:uc. >unt, Wednesday, describing the murd( r
of Mr. J. W. Dewberry, of Bolingbroke, which
was s:id to have occurred Mon lay of kvt
week, by three negro women ami one negro
man. At the depot Captain Wadloy was
found. He was just going over to the Dew
berry place, am! from him the following
facts vv - re learned :
On the 15th day of last January, Mrs. Henry
LaSucrc request! d ( antainWadicy to see|that
the nc;,ioes did not take any more wood from
a pine thicket, which is on lier land, about a
fourth of a mile from the radroad. Captain
Wadley tohl his oversee r, Mr. Dewberry, to
watch th*- negroes, and if ho caught any of
them in the woods t.) run them out. Two days
later, .January 17th, when riding through
the woods, ho saw a negro, named
Tom Howard, with an ax in his
hand, preparing to cut wood. He told him it
was private property and that he must leave
at once. The negro said ho had as much right
to get wood there fts any one. and that ho
would get as much as he wanted. Mr. Dew
berry then dismounted and again ordered him
to h ave. Howard raised his ax and advanced
toward him in a very threatening manner.
Mr. Dewberry drew his pistol and lired two
shots ov« r his head to frighten him off. The
negro ran ami made the circuit of the woods,
coming out at his house, which was about two
hundred yards from there, on the other side of
the road. As the woods were rather thick,
Mr. Dewberry walked liis liorso to the road
where lie intended to mount and ride to the
station. When ho reached the road, Tom’s
sister, Mattie Howard, met him with a fence
rail in her hand and commenced to curse and
swear at him. She raised the stick
to strike him, when ho caught
her in the collar and struck her a blow
in the face that knocked her down. Toni then
appeared upon the scene with the ax. and
struck him a blow on the thigh, two inches
above the knee, which made a wound about
two inches long ami one and a half deep. Mr.
Dewberry then tired the two remaining shots
at him, the last one entering the left of his
bn ast, glancing and passing through the arm.
Dewberry then went home and to bed, and
had a doctor to sew up the cut, which would
have beeft well in four or five days if he had
not been imprudent ami gone out before it had
entirely healed. But after staying in bed two
days he went to work again, ami in some way
get a fall, which broke the wound under the
skin. The escaping blood formed a pus, and
now Mr. Dewberry is in a very dangerous con
dition. Dr. McHatton, of Macon, assisted by
several local physicians, held a consultation
ami advised Dr. Rudisill, who has the case in
charge, as to the course for him to pursue.
The prohibition contest in Pulaski county,
which ends <ni the 23d, has been waged un
usually quiet. The prohifl were satisfied with
the work being done for its cause in the revi
val religious meetings, while the antis’ loaders
were busy engaged in a little quiet work. On
Saturday last, Tax Collector l\dlock, whoso
home is in Cochran, and to whom is entrusted
the duty of registering the voters, was <piietly
brought over to Hawkinsville, and at night
while the prohis were at church, the antis
bad Pollock closeted in one of the antis' head
quarters busily engaged in registering colored
voters, v hile some prohis wore barred out, t»e

dict of the jury, who had been out eighteen
hours. Inability to agree made the jury leave
life to the defendant. A good part of the jnry

Wednesday at 11 o’clock, a band of gypsies
camped, on Lookout mountain, were riding
along Boyce st., in Chattanooga, when one o,
them threw a lasso anil caught JamesAVilliams
all year old boy around the neck. Ho was
haulexl into the wagen and notwithstanding
his cries, he xvas compelled to surrender. The
capture was made in the residence portion of
the, city. The boy’ xvas taken to the mountain,
xx hen he again began crying and wanted to
return home. He xvas tied with ropes and
brutally beaten, so that his body is covered
with stripes from head to foot. After the ter
rible beating had been administered lie was
taken and tied to a tree and left there for a fexv
hours, until the gypsies could get ready to
move on. The little fellow watched his chances
and at 3 o’clock managed to untie the ropfes
and while the gypsies had their backs turned,
made his escape and ran all the way to the
city, arriving at his homo a little before 5
o’clock. The circumstances were reported at

THE HORRORS OF AN OPIUM EAT ER
An Olxl Soldier Wounded in the Late War
anti Has Used Opium Ever Since.
It is xvith pleasure I xvrite y’ou these linos.
The horrors of an opium eater can only be realized
by experience—never described, not oven by the
afflicted. No language is adequate. From the effects
of the late xvar, being xvounded and otherwise af
flicted, I unfortunately became addicted to the
opium habit. For years I struggle 11n vain to over
come the inonster that held me bound In fetters of
nn iron-like gra-p. As a last hope, I came to At
lanta, Georgia, and threw myself on the tininess
of Dr. I!. M. Woolley, and can say witn an humble,
gratified heart, that once more, through; his kind
ness and xvomlerful skill, lam a free man. I can,
xvith confidence, say to those atllicted like I was, it
they will give Dr. Woolley their full confidence and
co-operation, that he will cure them. If they fall
it will be their fault and not his or his remedy. It
is not difficult to follow his directions. When I came
to the city and began-treatment, about txvo months
ago, 1 xveigliel one hundred and eighteen pounds.
1 now- xveigh one hundred and forty pounds. I eat
anil sleep xvell; do not want opium or other, medi
cine. 1 began the use of opium In 1865, and xvhat I
suffered nt times while using it, especially when
getting out of opium, xvhich I sometimes did, can
not be told or described. lat one time used from
live to six ounces of laudanum daily, but gradually
roducod the amount by great effort and suffering.
I was using two o .nces per day when I came here.
I am now fifty years of age and can see to read with
out spectacles, a thing I have not been able to do
for many years. Ido not use or feel the need of any
medicine. I left off Dr. Woolley’s treatment five
days ago. lam well, hearty and happy, returned
from a useless invalid’s condition to a capacity to
work aud earn a living for myself and to aid my
family. I walked eight miles on yesterday, fifteen
the day cefore, on business, and feel like I could
walk twenty again today if it was necessary, ho,
by no means, am I a Ruble man. My flesh is firm
and my nerves steady. My address is Columnus,
Georgia, where 1 noxv return a happy man. If any
one would like to hear from mo in regard to my
case I will be more than glad to xvrite to them if
they will inclose a stamp for reply. Very truly,

and the sun shining brightly. Tho streets
al. ng the line of the procession xvere crowded
with spectators. A car containing Baiuf
Grai w.ts first in the procession: the float being

Tlien came tableau No. 1, xvhich represented

of “The (,'ue.st of tho Holy Grail,” together
xvith tableaux from stories of “Lohengrin,”

The Rex reception at the exposition hall to
night was a very brilliant affair. Harry How
ard, it is understood, did honors as Rex, and
Miss Jennie Cottraux was queen. The Pro

house was also a graud affair. Balls were
gi\ en as usual at all theaters and halls through
out the city.
THE FESTIVITIES AT MOBILE.
Mobile, Ala., February 1-I.—The Mardi
G ras celebration here this year was the best
that has been xvitnessed in a long time, and
the attendance of visitors was the largest
known in tlie past ten years. The parade of
the “Mystic Krewe” last night, comprised
seven gorgeous floats, illustrating scenes in
the celestial, tericstial and infernal kingdoms.
Today tho Knights of Beverly pictured the
crusades in a series of three floats with a large
cavalcade of men in full armor. The Comic
Cowboys then caricatnred local issues in seven
floats, and tonight the order of Myths illus
trated the origin of color with eight represen
tations of mythological subjects.
Memphis, Tenn., February 11.—The king
of the carnival had reign here since yesterday
noon, wimn the keys of the city xvere surrend
ered amid great pomp. Governor Robert L.
Taylor took part in the ceremonies. Last
night nt the Gayoza hotel, the king’s ball xvas
attended by over 1,500 invited guests,' nd was
one of the grandest events in tho history’ of
the state. Miss Eliza Fatherstone, of Holly’
Springs, Miss., was crowned queen.
At 8 o’clock tonight the
Sphinx pageant moved along Main
street amid a blaze of fire, the ~ subject
being scenes from Shakspeare’s plays, four
teen in number. It is estimated that forty’
thousand people lined the route of march. At
tho theater tonight, after the pageant ot the
Sphinx had disappeared, tho mystic Momphi
appeared in tableaux presenting scenes which
led to the Trojan war. The audience xvas
brilliant and represented the wealth, intelli
gence and beauty of this city and surrounding
country. After the tableaux, the Memjdii
executed a series of Egyptian military figures.
A grand dance followed, tiie parquette of the
theater having been specially covered for the
occasion. Four public balls are in full blast

A MINISTERIAL EGOTIST.
The Rev. Joseph Parker Tells About Ills
Visit Here.
London Cable to New York Herald.
Dr. Parker’s congregation gave him as his
valentine a beautiful desk and his full salary during
the time he was absent in America. This evening
he lectured in the City Temple to the public. Much
of his address was of a locally personal character,
but he began the portion relating to his American
visit by referring to his first Sunday in Plymouth
church, where he xxas ‘‘the victim of a public cir
cumstance.”
He acknowledged that he had had there an at
tack of xvhat is commonly called “stage fright.” So
strange did he appear to himself that he did not
preach in that church in the ordinary acceptation
of the term “pica fit.”
“I know I xvas talking,” he said, “aud that xvas
about all. In fact, I felt there, and yet not there.
Ho .v others regarded my services I cannot quite re
member.
“AU I can say is that after the service some ot the
oldest and most reverned members came'to me xvith
tears in their eyes for a renewal of friendship, and
there xvas such a lot of handshaking and blessing
that it quite unmanned me. Never shall I forget
the scene xvhen I xvas called upon to deliver the
eulogy on the greatest preacher since the time of
St. Paul—Henry Ward Beecher.” Here came unre
strained applause.
“The church in xvhich I spoke,” continued Dr.
Parker, “was the largest iu Brooklyn, and, perhaps,
in the United States. It xvas filled with the most
honored, and trusted men of the city and xvas largely
besprinkled xvith the best citizens of the United
States. At the close of my stay in Brooklyn the best
friends of the deceased croxx'ded 'round me and in
timated with tears their appreciation of my tribute
to the memory of one to whoso loss language xvould
not even become able to do justice until after the
lapse of half a century. After that fonction, the re
collection of xvhich till haunt me until the day of
my death, I proceeded about my more public work.
“Life, generally speaking, Is altvays public in
America. There do not seem to be any private citi
zens under tho eagle. The publicity in America is
splendid. I suppose there always will bo such pub
licity there.
"Some people have said that I abbreviated my
course of lectures; but I xvent there to deliver twen
ty-live lectures, and before I came away I had ; iven
thirty seven aud had teen invited to deliver thirty
seven more.
•■ln fact, I could have been lecturing there now,
f>r a programme was drawn up for me to stay till
the middle of June; but, having fulfilled my mission
and finding that the yankees made night in Amer
ica tlie same as day, and that rushing into terribly
jolting trains and sitting in cars heated at 90 degrees
caused me to rise in the morning feeling more like
a highxvayman than a Christian, I thougl.t it time
to make a shift. Not that my American friends did
not treat me properly—they were superabundant in
their kindness.
•Bi mid e one blunder while there, and for
that I have apparently not yet been forgiven, I xvas
once questioned as to what I thought of American
institutions, and. while giving credit where credit
wiia due. I could not help stigmatizing their system
Os interviewing as Infernal. 1 admit that this tvord
xvas strong, and I now wish to take it back. There
Is no greater admirer of American journalism than
myself, for there Is no finer editorial writing In the
world than I found in America.

CRIM ES AND CRIM INALS.
A Small Mob Attacks a Jail, and Take a Pris
oner Out and Lynch Him.
Pinckneyville. 111., February 11.—[Spe
cial.] —At 3 o’clock this morning the first
lynching that ever occurred in Perry’ county
took place. The victim was Alonzo Holly, a
negro, who was confined in the county jail
upon the charge as outraging a white woman,
.between Dngoin and St. Johns, some time
last December. Sheriff Renxvarden boards with
the jailer. Jeff Kin;’, and they- xvere the only
men about tho premis?s last night, except the
prisoner. The fir: t intimation they had of the
mob was about 2 o’clock in the morning, when
a knock xvas heard at tho front door. Mr.
King answered the knock, but on opening the
door he slammed it shut, and went and awa
kened the sheriff. Mr. Ren warden opened a
window, but was promptly covered xvith shot
guns. He explained to the crowd that he
merely’ wanted to argue the matter xvith them.
After talking for some time, and failing to
convince them they ought to let the laxv take
its cotir e with the negro, they began to batter
the door down.
The jailer, in the meantime, had viewed the
situation from ail tho windows of the building
and found tho house premises securely
guarded, so he concluded tho best thing to do
was to save the door by unlocking it. Once
inside the building, the six men demanded the
keys to the cage in which tho cells are loc ited,
adding emphasis to the demand by covering
the two men with four revolvers and txvo shot
guns. The keys were delivered and the cage
quickly opened. One of the prisoners told tho
mob in xvhich cell the negro xvas to be found.
Ho xvas dragged forth from under the bed,
where ho had endeavored to hitle. his hands
were tied behind him and an inch rope was
placed about his neck. He xvas then led out.
lie begged for txvo minutes in xvhich to pray,
and that being refused, lie asked one of t.fie
prisoners, John Eaton, who is awaiting trial
upon the sumo charge as that for which the
negro xvas hanged, to pray for him.
In going from the cell to the front door of
the building he calletl on the jailer for help,
lint just at that time the jailer xvas busy look
ing into the business end of a shotgun, -kt the
door the negro pulled back and xvas jerked
forward upon his face, and in this position
dragged about fifty’ feet to a large maple tree.
The rope xvas thrown over a limb about eight
feet from the ground and the negro jerked into
space. The rope was then tied around the
tree and the mob dispersed, though it is sup
posed some of them stayed in the vicinity until
they were satisfied that life had left the negro.
Holly, in his death struggles, caused the
rope to slip several inches nearer the body of
the tree on the limb, and when found his toes
were touching the ground.
After tlie mob left the sheriff and jailer
started out to alarm the town, and they found
the negro within a fexv feet of the jail still
xvarm. The victim xvas cut down about five
o’clock. It is supposed tlie mob came from
St. Johns, but how none seem to knoxv. They
xvere wi ll drilled, and no one outside of the
jail knexv they were here until after they left.
They departed in different directions.
An inquest w.ts held today and a verdict of
hanging by unknown parties was returned.
An attempt was made to hang Holly about ona
month ago, but lie xvas run off to Beckville by
the officers. He became so troublesome that
they’ refused to keep him there and hist Satur
day ho was brought back here. He had served
a term in the penitentiary, and was a bad ,
negro generally. He leaves a white wife about
twice liis oxvn age.
Tlie Brutal Treatment of a Female Crimina
in Texas.
San Antonio, Tex., February 18.—[Spe
cial.] —At the last term of the district court,
Rosa Schmidt, a German girl 18 years old, was
sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for
forging a check bearing the name of Dr. Cor
coran, head veterinary surgeon at tlie United
States post, in this city. She had been em
ployed as a servant iii his family, found his
check book lying around, and thought it
would be an easy way to get a little money
and forged liis name for a small amount. Sha
made no attempt to imitate his signature—
• did not knoxv enough, in fact—and payment
xvas promptly refused. Site was a
fair, delicate blue-eyed and golden
hired girl, utterly inexperienced, and naturally
bright and very shy and retiring. Her family
live here, and are very good, honest people.
Great efforts.were made to secure her pardon.
The judge who condemned, the jury’ who
tried, the attorney xvho prosecuted her, and
numerous outsiders signed the petition, because
her fate has excited a general sympathy. The
papers xvere forwarded ta Governor Ross three
weeks ago, but no action has been taken.
Yesterday the penitentiary contractor called
for the prisoners here and left with them for
tlie penitentiary. Among them was Miss
Schmidt. She xvas very submissive, making
no outcry. Despite her quietude the man in
charge placed a chain around her white neck
and yoked her to an exceedingly brutal negro
convict, who goes up for a term of years. In
this condition she was driven through the
streets to the depot, and in this condition she
will probably make the long trip to Hunts
ville. Tho action of tlie contractor has
awakened wide-spread indignation. All the
dailies hero have treated the subject editori
ally in the strongest terms. Despite tho girl’s
solitary lapse from strict morality there has
never been a whisker against her virtue.
Journeying xvith such companions anil hooked
tojsuch a man, what she will be xvhen she
reaches the prison is conjectured. The most
determined effort will be made to secure the
immediate intervention of executive clem
ency.
They- Four Kerosene on a Lunatic and Apply
a Match to Him.
Brownsville, Tex., February 11.—[Spe
cial.] —On account of the sickness of Serio, the
rape fiend, Sheriff Brito has had most of the
prisoners confined in jail, placed in one of the
upper rooms, xvhere they xvould not come in
contact with the disease. Among them in the
room was a harmless nunatic named Balsazar
who had been for many years an in
mate of the jail. Last night the old man xvas
asleep, wrapped up in his blanket, xvhen the
rest of the prisoners poured kerosene over him
and set him on fire. The old fellow was badly
burned about the hands aud feet before the
jailer, attracted by the smoke and his cries,
came to liis rescue, and by pouring water on
him put out the Haines. The wretches en
gaged in the diabolical deed are: Ramon San
doval, Julian Diaz, Paho Navarro, Eulalio Es
trado and Encamaccion Jimeneze, wh > are in
for crimes ranging from stealing to rape and
murder. It is said that Navarro and Sandoval
were the instigators of the deed.
