Rome, Ga.. April 7.—(Special.)—A score of
masked men took in the district around Sil

and whipped a half dozen negroes. The
work was done methodically and the whip
pings were not severe. In each case the
negro was told why he was whipped. In
. verv ease it was for stealing and usually '
for stealing chickens. There is no excite
ment in we neighbrohood among either
race, most of the negroes saying the cul
prits deserve the punishment, and that '
whipping would stop them from stealing
quicker'than going to the chaingang.

General Thomas in Control.
Savannah, Ga., April 7. —[Special.]—lt is
stated on the best authority that a reorgan
i plan 1 >r the Central railroad has I
b en formed by General Thomas and Mr. I.
F. Ryan, who control the tripartite bonds
and the Central’s floating debt. The plan is ;
still in the form of a typewritten statement I
and is called a suggestion for a reorganiza- j ;
tion plan. General Thomas and Mr. Ryan, j ,
however, practically have the bull by the i :
horns and are in a position to dictate about j i
as they please. It is stated that in the plan j ;
as it stands at present the Southwestern I ■
stock and debentures are given a poor deal, ; .
so much so that the Southwestern will prob- | '
ably withdraw rather than accept it. The ;
Southwestern stockholders meet in Macon I
next Friday, and it may be that they will
take some action at that time. This road
has tiled a petition asking the court to re
quire Receivers Comer and Hayes to pay its
rental from July to December, 1893, amount
ing to SISI.OtHJ. This petition will be heard
before Justice ‘White on April 13th, Justice
Jackson sitting with him.
Shot to Kill.
Savannah, Ga., April 6.—(Special.)—
Samuel Davis, a white barber and chiropo
dist, shot and mortally wounded William
W. Rawles, a clerk on the Central railroad,
this morning about 6 o'clock as Rawles was
going to his work. The cause of the shoot
ing is the alleged improper intimacy of
Rawles with Davis's wife. Davis met
Rawles this morning on West Broad street
as Rawles was going to his office. He
called to Rawles from across the street and
asked him if lie had written his wife a
note. It is said that Rawles denied having
done so. whereupon Davis drew his pistol
and shot Rawles three times, each shot
tall > ff< < t in .o nt part of the body,
(mo shot took effect in the head, one in
th groin an 1 another in the hip.
Rawb s was carried to the Savannah hos
pital. where all the attention possible was
given him.
It i., said that Davis descoverpd last night
that a note had been written to his wife
by Rawles and asked her for it. She
chewed ii up and swallowed it. Last night
Dav.s believed his wife had taken lauda- !
num and sent for a physician. An emetic
mis administered and the note recovered,
or at least all that was left of it. It was
discovered also that she had taken lauda
num, but whether with suicidal intent or
not was not known. At that time the phy
sician who attended Mrs. Davis promised
her husband to see Rawles and to urge him
to quit making any advances, but he failed
to do so last night.
Rawles is well known and had been high
ly respected in the community. He has a
brother also in the employ of the Central
railroad. The physicians in attendance sav
that his wounds are mortal and his death
will be a matter of a few hours. The I
shoot.ng has produced much excitement
hero today. Davis refused to b»* inter
viewed when called on at the jail. Ho
gave himself up to the authorities shortly
after, it happened.

SWINGING TO A LIMB.
A Black Fiend in Broad Daylight
Greenesboro, Ga., April 6.—(Special.)—Dan
Ahern, a negro tramp, was lynched hero
today, about 12 o’clock. Yesterday after
noon he had made a criminal assault on
Mrs. Dan Chambers. Mr. Chambers lives
four miles from town, lie was away from
home yesteru.ij alternoon und his wife
was alone witn a six weeks’ old infant.
The negro returned a second time io the
house, presumably to kill hit ■victim. She
escape'.! into a room, and locked the door.
Ahern then went away.
An alarm was soon given and a posse
started to hunt lor the negro. He was
soon captured. Air. Chambers was about
to Kill tne negro when restrained by neigh
bors.
The negro, who was probably twenty-two
years old, was biougnt to uieenesboro on a
wagon. He was tied ami remained un
molested on the streets lor thirty minutes
while Sheriff English was being hunted up.
Before being brought to town the negro
confessed his crime and was identified by
Mrs. Chambers. . .
Soon alter Ahern was placed in jail a
mob began to assemble, i’relty soon a de
mand was made on the sheriff to deliver the
keys of the jail. He refused emphatically,
and told the men lie would protect his
prisoner at all hazards und that they lost
their opportunity when they delivered him
over to the law. The crowd scattered into
little groups to discuss the situation. AU
agreed that the best thing to be done was
to wait and break down the large iron doors
of the jail. Everything was kept quiet to
mislead the sheriff and the crowd dwindled
away to reassemble later in the night, fully
prepared with sledge hammers. But the
sheriff was too vigilant to be deceived by
the apparent quietude and had pressed the
Greene Rilles into service to guard the jail.
The Riffes remained on duty mini daylight,
when they were dismissed by the sheriff,
who, himself, carried a repeating rifle, fully
determined to use it if necessary to protect
the prisoner. No further trouble was ap
prehended until tonight.
Ail the morning the outrage was the topic
of conversation and the older men of the
town pleaded with the more impulsive to
wait for a jury trial, and County Judge
Weaver telegraphed Judge Jenkins to come
and hold a special term of court next week
in order that the crowd might be appeased
and the law vindicated. It seemed that this
course would be adopted. The sheriff was
deceived into believing there would be no
attempt made to lynch the negro until to
night. The sheriff hoped to get Ahern out
of the rev. eh of the crowd and proposed to
carry him to Atlanta or Augusta.
But it was the quiet before the storm.
When vhe 10:30 o’clock train reached
Greenesboro this morning, it brought do
termined men from other counties to lead.
The mayor met the men and begged them
not to attack the jail.
The answer was: "We respect you, gentle
men, but it is useless to parley. We in
tend to hang that negro. On to the jail!”
The sheriff met them at the door and
commanded them to desist, but the answer
was:
“Give us those keys or we will break down
the jail door.”
Again the sheriff refused to give tip his
keys. The long railroad bar left by the
assailants last night furnished a convenient
battering ram, and with crowbars and
sledge hammers an entrance was effected
before the sheriff could rally a posse to
protect the prisoner. There was no delay.
With hands tied behind him Ahern was car
ried about half a mile below town and tho
rope, which had already been adjusted
around his neck, was thrown over a limb.
Ahern never spoke a word after leaving
the jail. His body was peppered with bul
lets as he was pulled up.
The crowd soon melted away and tonight
everything is quiet.
A telegram was received from Governor
Northen calling the military out but before
the soldiers could assemble the crowd’s
purpose was accomplished. Excitement
was intensified from the fact that the same
negro assaulted a. defenseless young lady
yesterday morning. She lived just below
town and she. too, identified him. She es
caped his villainous clutches by running
screaming to a neighbor’s house. Crowds
were searching for him all yesterday after
noon. Ahern was a negro tramp, appar
ently. Sheriff English feels very badly over
the occurrence.
You hardly realize that it is medicine
when taking Carter's Little Liver Pills;
they are very small: no bad effects; all
troubles from torpid liver are relieved by
their use.
A RECKLESS FELLOW
Wm Ben Jordon, the Brom-bone» of Fan
nin County
Thirteen months of hard labor in the Ohio
penitentiary.
that was the sentence placed Thursday
upon J. B. Hunter, the old man who was
found guilty some days ago of fraud in the
pension business.
Hunter received his sentence calmly, and
no one could tell that he was in the least
affected by the gruesome prospect of con
vict stripes and prison walls. He will in
all probability be the oldest man in the peni
tentiary, as his years reach over the three
score und ten notch. In view of his ex
treme age Judge Newman made the mini
mum "punishment lit the crime.”
Hunter comes from Fannin county, and
has for many years been a prominent char
acter in that part of the country. As a
school teacher he was admired for his wis
dom and respected on account of his age.
Politically he was a leader and conducted
strong fights against the democratic party.
A near neighbor of his was Mrs. Betty
Hughes, an octogenarian, highly respected
and well known in that section. Some
times these old people would get to
gether and talk over the days gone by.
Upon one occassion Hunter proposed that
he might be able to secure a pension for
Mrs. Hughes, as her husband had been a
union soldier. Thus through him she made
application and succeeded in getting a pen
sion amounting to about $2,800. Hunter,
who had the thing in charge, however,
turned over to the old lady only $1,400, tell
ing her that was the whole amount. Soon
after the fraud was discovered and Hunter
was arrested.
»»•••» Jordiiu'H Vendetta.
Connected with the killing of Mrs.
Hughes’s husband is one of the strangest
stories of the civil war. In Fannin county
there lived and nourished a fellow lamed
far and wide as "Dare Devil Ben." He
was the Brombones of the community and
his expliots extended all over north Geor
gia. Sprung from a prominent family
which boasted of its Bourbon blood and
rich in the possession of worldly goods, he
was the leaning spirit in a crowd of jovial
hearted fellows wno lived only for fun and
frolic.
Whe the tocsin of war first sounded Ben
Jordan responded speedily. Organizing a
company at once, he hastened to the scene
of conflict. In the battles throughout Vir
ginia there were no braver spirits than
Ben Jordan's men. Several times he fell
wminued, lighting in the thick of the fray.
His many deeds of reckless daring won the
admiration of ali the "officers and his un
shrinking valor endeared him to the hearts
of the men. One day shortly after the bat
tle of Gettysburg he received a letter noti
fying him of his mother’s death and telling
how bis home had been burned. Jordan
immediately made application for a. L ave of
absence. This, however, could not be ob
tained, as Hie order revoking all Laves
of absence and refusing thereafter all fur
loughs had just before been issued. Then,
according to the tale told by an old Fan
nin county -citizen, Jordan, with his char
acteristic boldness, went before General
Longstreet.
He explained to the general how he had
heard of the death of his mother and the
burning of his home and asked a leave
of absence. Longstreet replied that lie
sympathized with him, but the orders must
be obeyed no matter what the circum
stances were, and he was forced to refuse
the request. .lonian bowed and left the
tent. The next morning he was missing.
Some time after he turned up near his old
home in Fannin county to find things even
worse than reported. Nothing remained
except the land upon which the ruins of
his ancestral mansion were standing.
Driven to desperation he swore revenge.
From his sister he got the names of the
twenty-five men, who, it was said, sympa
thizing with the union side after seeing the
inevitable result of the war, began to
commit deeds of violence in their neighbor
hood. It was this gang which burned Jor
dan’s house. He did not return to Vir
ginia. When the surrender was made and
peace declared, all of his old companions
came home. To several of them he related
h.s tale. They swore to stand by him
! and the vendetta was formed. Upon a Bi
ble each took a solemn oath to kill all of
' the men whose names were on the list.
How well they succeeded any of the old
1 people up in Fannin can tell you. As each
man was killed. Jordan would check his
name off the list. In some mysterious way
i the vendetta was divulged. Jordan disap
i peared, and since then has never been
: heard from. Among the names on the list
: of those who were murdered was that of
i Dallas Hughes, the husband of Mrs. Betty
j Hughes, whose pension old man Hunter
will suffer for.
JUST FROM GEORGIA.
The Old I’ostnmster.
Been runnin’ of the office
Fer fifteen year an’ more;
Beat all the other candidates—
Walked in an’ locked the door!
He wears two pair o’ spectacles,
His sight is growin’ dim;
He knows each man that ever
Had a letter writ to him.
He says: “Bill Brown, here’s somethin’ —
Handwritin’s kinder slant;
I guess it’s from yer daddy.
Or a letter from yer aunt!” ‘
He strikes a yaller envelope
With printin’ on one end;
He han’s it to the groceryman:
“About them goods, my friend!”
Knows everybody’s business,
An’ tells ’em of it, too;
“A letter from your sweetheart,”
Or “Another bill fer you!”
No politics kin hurt him,
No matter who may win;
He sees the presidents go out
While he keeps stayin’ in.
But the truth, about the matter
To all Is mighty clear:
He’s had the blamed ole thing so long,
They’ve done fergot he’s there!
Winn There for Bnsiness.
"Where's old man Jinkins?”
"He’s out yonder a-votin’.”
“Soon be home, will he?”
“Well, 1 don’t know erbout that; you see,
they done run short on voters, an’ he’s got
to git his man in by sundown an’ six hun
dered majority.”
Old “Bob White.”
When peas is ripe you hear tho call:
“Bob White!”
In music sweet the clear notes fall:
“Bob White!”
(He wants to let his sweetheart know—
That’s why he keeps a-callin’ so.)
Acrost the tnedder an’ the swamp:
“Bob White!”
From woodlan’s where, the rabbits romp:
“Bob White!”
Still, still he calls that name o’ his
(I wonder where his sweetheart is?)
From dewy mornin’ up to night:
“Bob White!”
An’ ringin’ down the sweet twilight:
“Bob White!”
From break o’ day to evenin’ dim,
He calls his sweetheart home to him!
Got There Anyhow.
"The old man run fer sheriff, didn’t he?”
"Yes.”
"And they beat him?”
"Yes; but he’s still ahead."
"How’s that?”
“Feller shot, the sheriff, an’ the old
man’s coroner!”

He kept on in the campaign,
An’ run fer sheriff quick!
They beat him out fer sheriff:

An’ run along fer mayor!
They beat him out the mayorship—
No fat was in his pan;

They beat him' out fer council.
But couldn’t, keep him down:

The City Not Liable.
New Orleans, April 7.—Judge Parlamge,

Tire Packwood Murder Trial.
Tavares, Fla.. April 3.—The second day
of the trial of the three men charged with
-e Baekwood murders was uneventlul. Mr.
Snancis .1. Packwood was the only witness
examined, and he was on the stand when
court adjourned. There was nothing sensa

state relies solely on circumstantial evi
dence. . Just how strong the case against
the suspects is cannot bo told at present.
Tavares, Fla., April I.—The third day of
the Packwood murder tral opened witli a
mild sensation. Judge Broome, who is pre
siding in the' case, furnished it. He an

on the evidence he would immediately bar
all reporters from the courtroom. Plain
statements as to the evidence and rulings
might lie furnished, but the suggestion of
a comment would be treated as contempt

Francis Packwood, brother-in-law of Miss
j Adeline Bruce, one of the victims, re
sumed the stand and completed his testi

MITCHELL'S DREAM
Caused Him l<> Kill His Roommate.
He Surrenders.
Houston, Tex., April 3.—Elmer Mitchell
and Ed Patch were working for the Morris
road outfit at Crosby, ami were room
mates. During last night Mitchell dreamed
he was in the stable and that thieves were
stealing the horses. Seizing his pistol in
his sleep, he tired, killing Patch instantly.
He then ran out of the house, still asleep,
and began a fusillade. A crowd gathered
and soon aroused him, and on going back
to bed he discovered he had killed his room
mate. He came here today and surrender
ed to Sheriff Ellis.
C. H. J. TAYLOR NOT IN IT.
The Colored Democratic Politician Seems to
lie in a Hard Row for Stumps
Washington, D. C., April 3.—[Special.]—
Mr. Cleveland has put his foot into it
again. Whether he did it by the advice of
Secretary Hoke Smith or not is unknown
just now, but it is known that the office of
recorder of deeds of the District of Co
lumbia is under the interior department.
Today Mr. Cleveland turned down the ap
plication of George Forbes, of Atlanta, for
that office, and appointed C. H. J. Taylor,
the ex-Atlanta negro, to that fat place.
Mr. Cleveland uid this in the face of an
almost unanimous protest from the citi
zens of Washington against his appointing
a negro. It is one of the best paying posi
tions under the government. Besides Cap
tain Forbes there were at least one hun
dred applicants from the best democrats in
the country, tn the nomination, as sent to
the senate, Taylor is put down as a resi
dent of Kansas, it will be remembered tnat
during nis first administration Cleveland
appointed Taylor minister to Liberia. Alter
holding the place a lew weeKS, Taylor re
signed ami returned to this country. When
Mr. Cleveland came in this term he
appointed Taylor minister to Bolivia. A
great protest went up here and the people
of Bolivia put in a mild protest. The senate
refused to act upon the nomination; it was
pigton-hole<l, anil since then Taylor has
been working for this place. The people
here do not like it, especially as the demo
cratic platform declares for home rule in
tlie territories and the District of Columbia.
The confirmation of Taylor will be vigor
ously fought in Hie senate and as tne
members of that body are not inclined to
submit to such appointments, it is not im
probable that Taylor will again be turned
down.
The democrats and the people of Av ash
i ington generally are raising a fearful howl
i at the appointment of the negro, C. H. J.
i Taylor, to be recorder of deeds. If there
: Is a white democrat in Washington who
I endorses the appointment no one has been
! able to find him. The people_here are sim
ply indignant und are calling upon tlie sen
ate in loud tones to refuse to confirm him.
In the first place the people of Washington
don't want Taylor, and in the second place
they don’t want a negro in this office. But
above all, thev declare that the president
has violated the pledges of home rule in
the platform of the party which nominated
him at Chicago. There are thousands of
local democrats who could have iilleil the
office with ability. The district people
claim that if it had been necessary to give
tin- office to a colored man. there are local
m groes that could fill it witli as much abil
ity as Taylor can bring to it. Mr. Cleve
land has always had a soft spot in his heart
for Taylor. He is undoubtedly a smart ne
gro and is a prolific letter writer.
.Mr. Cleveland has never won a victory
since he was elected sheriff of Buffalo that
Taylor lias not written him and congratu
lated him and praised him in the highest
terms. Taylor lias also written interviews
with himself and had them printed in all
parts of the country, advocating Mr. Cleve
land and claiming to speak in behalf of a
large proportion of the colored race in this
country. Taylor is, indeed, a shrewd fel
low, and not a bad one by any means, but
the people of Washington don t want him,
and the senate is not now inclined to con
| firm him. The republican senators may
' vote for him in order to pose as the friend
-of the negro, and there may be enough
democratic cuckoos left who will vote witli
the republicans to confirm him. It does
seem strange, however, that, the president
should go outside of the District, ot Colum
bia. to select a man for this office when
there were a hundred applicants Irom the
district, and the democratic platform de
clared for home rule in the district.
Don't Want Taylor.
Washington, April 7.—(Special.)—The sen
ate district committee this morning voted
| to turn down the nomination of the negro
H. J. Taylor as recorder of deeds of
! the District of Columbia. It will be re
i ported io Hie senate with the reeommenda
' tion that his name be rejected.
There are eleven members of the district
committee. Six were* present inis morning
I and four of them voted to reject Taylor.
Tlie two who voted for him were Martin,
' ! of Kansas, and Harris, of Tennessee. Os
I the other live members three are certainly
[ against his confirmation, and it may be
1 ; there are four.
This means that the senate is sure to re
i ject Taylor and if Mr. ('leveland insists on
giving him a job he will have to select
some place where the senate’s confirmation
i is not needed. This will be the second time
1 tlie senate has rejected Taylor. It is, how
i ever, not so much against Taylor as against
| Mr. Cleveland's action in appointing him
’ Hie offices for which he is peculiarly unfitted
In this ease Mr. Cleveland again violated
the party platform, a document for which
he has shown but little respect since his
: election. The platform declared for home
i rule in the district, while Mr. Cleveland
I proceeds to appoint a Kansas negro to one
I of its best paying offices.

Birmingham, Ala., April 1. —(Special.)—The
i extra census bulle>in which has recently
been issued has furnished the protectionists
I of this section of Alabama with fresh ma
i serial for argument. The recent bulletin
| shows that the largest manufacturing indus
! try in the United States, judging from the
! amount of capital invested and the number
| of hands employed, is the lumber business.
Tho largest, judging from the amount of
i wages paid, is’ foundries and machine shops,
| and judging from the value of the output,
; iron and steel.
The bulletin shows the following to be
the fourteen industries having as much as
$100,C00,000 invested in them:
Lumber and saw mills $196,.139,968
Iron and steel works 460,387,922

The following pay wages exceeding
$1,000,000 a year:
Foundries ami machine shops.. .. $148,389,063
; Iron and steel 116,428,651
The protectionists claim that the south
has more than its share of the three or four
largest industries and argue that a south
ern man who opposes a tariff on iron,
coal and lumber has not the good of his
section at heart.
These statistics will figure considerably
in the Alabama campaign this year.

CATARRH OF PELVIC ORGANS.
A Class of Diseasi-s Not Generali,
Understood.
It is a popular impression that catarrh is
a disease confined to the mucous mem
branes lining the nose, throat and bron
chial tubes and other of the respiratory or
gans. The real fact is, that all mucous
membranes, wherever located are subject
to catarrh, and unless recognized and prop
erly treated, chronic ailments are sure to
follow. No organ of the whole tex.y is
more frequently affected than the bladder.
The symptoms of catarrh of the bladder
are: Frequent voiding, which is generally
scant in quantity and highly colored, with
a thick, white or slightly pinkish sediment.
Catarrh of the bladder is also liable to ex
tend downwards to the pelvic organs. This
will soon cause smarting and sometimes dif
ficulty and pain. In females, the exten
sion of the catarrhal disease is certain to
involve the female pelvic organs, and pro
duces leueorrhoea, painful periods and bear
ing-down pains.
In taking Be-ru-na for catarrhal affections
of these organs, a teaspoonfui four times
each day is sufficient for cases of ordinary
severity, but there are acute cases for
which it is necessary to take six doses each
day to get the full benefit of the treatment.
Old persons who are annoyed by freuuent
calls and burning pains, day or night, never
fail to find complete cure by a few months’
faithful use of Pe-ru-na.

No. 2,” in which these subjects are fully
