tie and It sped onward toward th«
place where Just a week before a man
uai kitted. Addin* more strength to
hi* efforts a Anal attempt to stop the
car availed nothin* and In a second
more the wheels passed over the form
lyln* across the rails. The motorman
told the conductor of what he saw.
The car rocked slightly as the wheels
passed over the form, and the lights
flashed out and on again Just as they
do when the wheels roll over anything
that results In a disconnection. This
fact Is vouched for by both motorman
and conductor.
Finally the car stopped and both
men went back to see what had hap
pened. They found—
Nothing!
They Inspected closely and then
looked at each other. They Inspected
some more, but found nothing and
came on to town.

I Washington, Fab. 19.—Senator Ben
jamin R. Tillman rented quietly laat
j night, and there are indication# thla
morning of a slight Improvement In hls
I condition. Tho he was still unron-
j scloua this morning, the senator's right
' side Is almost wholly paralysed And
aphaala haa developed aa a result of
a cerebral hemorrhage on the left aide
of the brain. He has nearly lost th#
powkr of articulation, and thla Is re
garded by th# doctor a* the most seri
ous symptom of the South f'arollnsn’s
i Illness. He may recover from the pa
ralysis, hut In all likelihood. It Is sold,
he never wtil regain the complete pow
er of epeech, the senator's dearest and
most cherished weapon .In hi* public
service, and the keen edge of which ha*
enlivened many debates of Union-wide
Interest In congress.
This Is the second stroke of paraly
sis to seise the senator, the first having
occurred nearly two years sgo, when he
suffered a nervoua breakdown. At that
time he wae treated at an Atlanta aait-
Itarlum and later took a trip to Europe
for the benefit of hla health.
Dr. Plckford'at noon Issued th# fol
lowing bulletin:
Senatji Tillman la reefing com
fortably this morning. He has passad
most satisfactory night. Paralysla and
aphasia unchanged. Temperature, puls#
and respiration normal. Prognosis fa
vorable. If present condition* can be
maintained a few day# longer."
Dr. J. IV. Babcock, of South Caro
Ilna, superintendent of the hospital for
the Insane of that state end who has
been for a number of years the family
physician of the Tillmans, arrived In
Washington this morning and went Into
consultation with Dr. Plckford. Mem
bers of the family were recognised by
the senator, who. It Is thought, realises
fully at the intervals In which he Is
conscious the seriousness of hls condi
tion.

IN ATLANTA SUNDAY
Cairo, III., Fab. 19.—Fearing a san
guinary race war aa a result of the
•hooting down of twelve white men by
negro deputy sheriffs In repelling the
attack on the Alexander county Jail.
Adjutant General Frank 8. Dickinson
appealed to Governor Deneen for a
fourth company of state troops at mid
night and Company I. of Vandalla. ar
rived here early today to reinforce tho
three companies already on the ground,
making a total of 261) uniformed men
now patrolling the streets of the city.
Coroner McManus Impaneled a Jury
today to hold an Inquest upon the body
of Alexander Halllday. killed by a vol
ley from the deputies In th# attempt
to storm th# Jail. A post mortem ex
amination of Holliday's body showed
that death had been practically In*cu
taneous from a severed Jugular vein
and spinal cord;' §£ .
This has mitigated the criticisms of
the sheriffs who prevented anyone from
approaching Halllday. where he lay
four hours In the snow;. It was thought
for a tffne that exposure contributed to
hls death. The Cairo Board of Trado
and tha Commercial club met last night
and adopted resolutions sustaining the
drastic step* taken by tho authorities
to preserve peace and pledging their
financial, moral and physical asslstanro
If necessary to uphold the law. Tho
rioters are awed by the militia and
order prevails. " "
For ths next few‘days the situation
will be In tho hands of Adjutant Gen
eral Dickinson. Lleutsnant Colonel Ry-
man and Adjutant Frank L. Taylor. It
was declared today that they and the
troops night be her# for a week or even
longer. Not till the last danger Is past
will they leave.
Negroes Marksd for Revenge.
The live negro deputy sheriffs and
the negro court bailiffs who made the
stand with the white deputies against
the mob. when one man was killed and
several wounded, have been, according
to Information In the hands of the au
thorities, marked for revenge.
These negroes face lynching or as
sassination, the result of their efforts
to quell the disorders. It was believed
today that the period of greatest danger
to them would he today and tomorrow,
when the populace ar* excited over tha
Halllday Inquest and funeral.
The** men, under arm# themaelvoa
•a members of tha sheriff's staff, are
also watched carefully by their white
companions and the troops, to guard
against an attack on them.
The release of Lincoln Wilson, the
negro who was Implicated with John
Pratt, now under sentence. In the rob
bery of Mr#. Maloney, was made with
caution. After the grand Jury took no
action againat him, Wllaon was allowed
to go, but he waa protected tn fear of
another outbreak. It waa reported to
day that he had left town.
Pratt, the negro purse-snatcher, who
was the cause of tha trouble, was tried
reaterday afternoon and was given an
ndetermlnate sentence of not more
than fourteen years.
