EXCITEMENT IN NEW ALBANY
A NEGRO KILLS A WHITE MAN.
On Monday night an atrocious murder
was committed in New Albany, the par
ticulars of which, as we gather them from
the New Albany Ledger, are, as follows:
| About half past nine o'clock Monday
night, party of young men from the
ages of eighteen to twenty, were standing
on the corner of one of the public streets
talking, when party of negroes passed
smoking cigarss One Of the boys remark
ed, as they passed, "that them negroes
are putting on a good deal of style. At
ter the remark was made the negroes
started down the street, and when they
had proceeded about twenty yards, they
turned and commenced firing on the party.
The first shot struck Charles Lansford,
one of the crowd, in the. thigh, and the
second struck John Locke in the heart,
killing him instantly. The negroes then
ran off and made their escape.
Yesterday morning the officers of New
Albany arrested Alb. johnson, John
lSimms, Alex. Pell and Bill Price, four
rather notorious negroes, as being either
concerned in or having knowledge of the
murder rs sxaefsa Ks Fsa..s,;s
/ There was considerable excitement in
New Albany all day yesterday about the
affair. The New Albany Ledger says:
rs Three negroes were overhauled by a
crowd of white men, none of whose names
we have learned, in the northern suburbs
of the city, known as Daytown, about
eleven O'Clock to-day, and one of them
shot in the arm and side, and it is thought
fatally injured. The other two were bad
ly beaten, but managed to make their
escape from the infuriated crowd. The
negro was fred on, we are informed, by a
boy about twelve years of age. There is
terrible excitement in the; city toward
all negroes, and what the result will be
we cannot say, but we fear for the worst.
HORRIBLE AFFAIR - ANOTHER NEGRO
~ OUTRAGE.
s On "Wednesday morning two negroes,
Jacob and Reuben Long, from Allegheny
County, were committed to Jail charged
be ore Ju tee Hunter, of West Newton,
with having forcibly outraged the person
of Mrs. Mary Ann Faulkner, very re-
sp,ctable lady, residing in Rostraver
Township, this county. aes IS aIes
The facts Of this case as related to us
are of a most revolving nature. Mr.
Faulkner is. a market peddler, and left
home with his horse and wagon on the
morning of the day on which the outrage
| was committed He resided on the turn
pike, near the Allegheny line, Mrs
Faulkner had retired to bed with her in
FAINT, no other person being about the
house. About eleven o'clock, she wa!
aroused by knocking at the door. Sh,
! was answered that her husband had me
with a "disaster upset and broke hi
.wagon-was badly hurt, and had sent hi
Ehorse home by Gus" and to tell her t.
tput it in the pasture. She got up-pu
4 ON skirt, and, placing her frock ovel
/ her shoulders, opened the door, discover
led "a horse hitched near, but could Sc,
4 nothing Of the men. Suspecting nothing
I she took the horse and lead him towart
}the pasture, when looking around she dis
4 covered white spot in his face, which
her husbands had not, and the bride
4 also, was not his. She Immediately be
tcame aware of the danger, and dropping
4 the reins, ram for the house, when tw'
men sprang from their eoncealment, seize'
! her arms, and threw her violently on he
back, with her skirts pulled over her face
Iconfining her arms as if in vice AM
partly smothering her.; and while in thi
situation one of the fends violated he
1person, then held her until the other per
} petrated the same outrage, when they ral
foff and left her. AS soon as she was abl
tshe went into the house, took her chill
/ and made her way to neighbor's house
y where she told the story of her wrong.
, This is but foreshadowing of the scene
Ithat will be enacted if Mr.. Lincoln
!. permitted to sconsummate his sAbolitio
: schemes. Let him beware, or somebod
7 will abe hurts at the next election.
