NEGRO RAYISHER LyNCHED.
The Citizens OF Iuka, EIississippi

Negro.

The Citizens OF IukR, 4E1ississippi,
Take Vengeance UPOn Il Brutal
Negro.
In May last a young lady residing
near Iuka Springs, Mississippi, had been
sojourning zeal Moscow, and returned
to Iuka, arriving there on the train at
two o'clock in the morning. A negro
hack driver named Lewis Thompson,
seeing her there unprotected and await
ing daylight go that she could 60 home.
committed a brutal outrage upon her,
after a desperate struggle, during
which he beat and bruised the
unfortunate lady in a 6endish
manner. After committing the
crime he. escaped, but was captured by
the sheriff, the lady giving an accurate
description Of him. She stated that
during the struggle she bit him on the
face, aud this mark lead to his detec.
ton. BE has been in Jail at Iuks ever
since, not being able to give bail.
On Monday his trial commenced be-
fore the Circuit Court, and yesterday he
was convicted and sentenced to impris-
onment for life in the penitentiary..
Last night a party Of disguised men
broke into the Jail, overcoming the
~jailer, carried the negro to the depot,
within a few yards of where
he committed the horrible crime,
and there hung him. This
morning his body was cut down by the
Sheriff and inferred. At Iuka and
vicinity the utmost Indignation has been
felt over the crime, as the unfortunate
lady was poor and unprotected, but was
highly respected by all classes of citi-
zens, and the punishment by imprison-
ment for life in the penitentiary was con-
sidered inadequate. Indeed. death by
hanging is hardly sufficient punishment
for these black or white fends who COM
nit outrages of this character.

N-egrolRobber Escaped.

Early this morning patrolmen Couch
and Kuhnholst, in the Tenth ward,
chased a negro who ran into a cnlyert
passing under the Mississippi and Ten
nessee railroad track. He ran through
the %culvert and escaped at the other end,
after being shot at several times. At
the mouth Of the culvert be left a bag
containing a number Of dead chickens
and a piece Of bedroom chinaware IN

were carried to the station house by the
.patrolmen for Identification by the real
owners.

The Court Square fountain enterprise
is meeting with merited success. But
twelve one hundred dollars subscribers
are required to make up the $4,000, the
cost Of the fountain. Indeed, Memphis
should have a ten or twenty thousand
dollar fountain. Nothing is more beau
tiful nor does anything add more to the
appearance Of a city.
The new Frank block on Front street
near Madison is already built up to the
ground floor. This will be one Of the
best arranged and finest business blocks
in the city when completed. Water will
be introduced all over the building, and
elevators worked by hydraulic power
will send goods and passengers from the
cellars to the upper floors.
The divers, father and son, who shot
and killed Robert VERIFY on a steam
boat some weeks since, were tried in
Phillips county, Arkansas, which trial
closed a day or SO ago, and we're held to
bail in the sum Of $4,000 each. 1t was
discovered that VERIFY had left a will
leaving all his property to a negro
woman and her children by him, which
discovery did not materially incite his
surviving relatives to prosecute the Oil,

The wife to which we refer is cookbook

he was astonished to see the bright rays
extinguished. Voices were heard within,
and, at last, q timid voice inquired,
"Who is it2" The wanderer gave his
name, and his wife gave a scream and
tainted. The door gave away from
force, and stepping over the PROSTATE
body of his wife, Mr.. -, with a
cooked revolver, bounded up stairs two
steps at a time. A halfdressed man he
srw, who sprang through the second
story window and escaped. He fred
one shot at the fugitive, but, blinded
with rage, and nerves unstrung, his aim
was anything but accurate, and the Lo-
thario escaped. The villain is a clerk;
is absent from town to-day. The hus-
band returned to Memphis, and the wife,
spurned and held in loathing contempt
by her husband, has " gone to mother"
A divorce will follow.
