THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 133. SENATE IS PUZZLED. COMMITTEE ON PRIVILEGES UN ABLE TO REACH DECISION IN TILLMAN MATTER. Washington, Fob. 26. —Tne meet ing of the senate committee on priv ileges and elections this forenoon did not result in supplying any solution of the Tulman-McLaurin matter. The Republican members of the commit tee frankly confessed that they had not been able to formulate a scheme which would relieve tne situation, and alter less than an hour of discussion they asked that the committee should adjourn until 2 o clock this afternoon, with the understanding that the sen ate should adjourn after a brief ses sion, and thus give the committee an opportunity to fully consider th s important question, which most sen ators look upon in its present shape as a stumbling block in the way of all other legislation. Will Not Be Expelled. The meeting of me committee was marked by the best feeling on the part of all and all agreed readily to the preliminary suggestion uy chairman burrows, that the question be ap proached from a purely non-partisan standpoint because of its general im portance. It is evideift, however, that the Democrats are inclined to appre hend some effort, for political advant age on the part of the Republicans and the channel through which they expected this manifestation soon be came evident when Senator Foraksr made a suggestion that there should be a severer degree of punishment meted out to Tillman than to Mcl.au rin. .Mr. Dubois met the suggestion with a positive negative and when the sug gestion was made afterward that Till man be called upon to prove before the committee that the charges which he nad repeated in the senate that his colleague had yielded to undue influence, there was a hint that it this matter he entered upon some sena tors would insist up reopening tile charges on file in the committee wul relation to the election ol other son ators. Bailey Takes a Hand. Mr. Ba-.ey notified the Republican members that the Demcorats would not submit to the adoption of a res olution suspending the South Caro lina senators. He said titey agreed Hu y should be punished for breach of the peace, but he was satisfied the Democrats would not submit to any proceedings which would deprive the state of its representation. While no positive statement of policy was made from the Republican side there was enough said to lead to the con clusion that the proposed resolution for tlie suspension has been abandon ed and the punishment would be in the form ot censure. The Senate Adjourns. Again today the galleries nl th senate was throned with spectators when that body convened, all antici pating the reopening ot tlie contro versy respecting the right of Sena tors McLanrin and Tillman of South Carolina lo participate in the pro ceedings of the body. immediately after the chaplain had pronounced the invocation Mr. Fora ker of Ohio, wa’s recognized.

He said the committee was in the midst of the consideration of a very import ant question, a decision upon which had not yet been reached.

TWO OF THEM WERE EXECUTED IN NORTH CAROLINA TOWN YESTERDAY. Asheville, N. C., Feb. 26. —Dudley Johnson, white, and Ben Foster, col ored, were hanged here today for bur glary. Burglary at night in North Carolina is a capital offense and to day's executions constituted the final chapter in a ease attended by many exiciting incidents; in wnieh a fiance came to the hospital and married a ntan burglars were believed to have wounded to death, and whose bravery called forth a letter of praise from Charles Emory Smith, at that time postmaster general. Tlie crime was committed in a com bined postoflice and store kept by Samuel Alexander at Emnta, a littla hamlet a lew miles out from Ashe ville. on the night of Feb. 1, irfOl. Four men planned the robbery in Asheville, walked down the railroad track to Einma. called Post Piaster Al exander to the door under a pretext of buying groceries, and forced him at. tlie point of a pistol to take them to a room, which they searched, and finding his revolver, they then made him open the safe. Dudley Johnson, white, and lien Foster, colored, were inside, and Russel! Gaii-s, white, and Harry Mills, colored, were guarding the outside. Johnon laid his revolver dowu to take the money out of the sale, when a cat moved in the back part of the store. '1 ms attracted the attention of Foster, who was noldiug a re volver at - icxander’s head. As quick as a Hash Alexander grabbi and Johnson's gun, shot Foster, and snapped the weapon at Johnson, who grappled with him. The strug gle was long nnd fierce, Foster join ing Johnson. Foster shot Alexan der as they struggled, and, firing again, wounde** his partner in the face. Neither shot was fatal and the tight went on. The men grad ually grew weak, hut Alexander fought the two men, forcing them to the door and out. Here the postmaster succumbed to liis wound and fell across the thresh old of the store. The snooting by this time had aroused the citizens of the hamlet, and, on their approach, the burglars ran. A posse was quick ly organized and me men were cap tured a few days later and placed in jail in Asheville. Two of the pris oners were badly wounded, but re covered . The excitement at the time was in tense and, fearing lynching, the gov ernor ordered two companies of mili tia on guard duty around the jail. The sheriff swore in a large number of citizens as deputies, their services all being required for a week, when the prisoners were secretly removed to Charlotte for safe keeping. All were sentenced death. Gov ernor Aycoclt was oosioged with pe titions for clemency from all parts of the United States, but for a time declined to interfere. One of these petitions was accompanied by a counter petition from this county, asking the governor to let the law take its course. The governor, how ever, a short time ago, commuted the sentences of Gates and Mills to im prisonment for life. Boers Capture a Train. London, Fel). 20.—A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, made public today, says: “A convoy ot empty wagons was attacked and captured by the Boers southwest of Kerksdorp, Transvaal Colony, Feb. 24.
