Three Men LYnched.

PARTICULARS OF THE HANGING OF THREE AS
/ sAssINS IN ALABAMA.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala, April 1S.-The follow
ing are the details OF the lynching reported
last night: On Saturday last two negroes
named Eph. Hall and Ben. Evans, at the
iustieation OF Mike White, a white butcher
doing business here, assassinated George
Shoeuberger, n rival butcher and most
prominent and estimable citizen. at the
time Of their arrest, which took place the
same day, great public Indignation was
manifested, and there Was believed 10 pe
strong probability that all three OF the cul-
prits would meet prompt punishment at the
hands OF the angry mob. BY prompt ana
vigorous action Of the sheriff and his depu-
ties the men were safely lodged in jail.
Yesterday afternoon the three men were
forcibly taken from the sherif's custody
and hung from the limb Of q tree, amid the
most intense excitement. Early in the
morning people came in from every dlrec-
ton in throngs. BY noon the streets, ana
esDecially those in the neighborhood OF the
iail. were literally packed. The sheriff,
who had, by his decisive action on saturday,
prevented the summary punishment OF the
assassins, attempted to summon guards 1or
the protection OF the Jail, but none would
accept the positions. Twenty or thirty
United States prisoners being in the jail,
the United States marshal summoned guards
to keep them safe.
At half-past ?. NJ. the people shouted,
" Here they come |" and soon hundreds OF
horsemen arrived, armed with double-bar.
rel sbot-guns. They came up quietly and
took positions around the Jail. The null
titude fell back as they approached. a de-
mand for the keys OF the Jail was REUSED,
and the sheriff could not be found. Ihe
iail fence was broken down with sledge-
hammers and crowbars. The mob then
forced its way into the Jail by the same pro-
cess, Evans, Hall, and White were bound,
placed in a wagon, driven half mile away
under the limb Of tree, where ropes had
been previously adjusted. The negroes re-
iterated the same story OF their guilt that
they had already told. Mike Wmte pro-
tested his innocence. The prisoners were
asked il they had anything to say. Wmte
said he had nothing to say except that ne
was innocent and ready to meet his God.,.
Evans said: 81 know am here to dle:
We were all in it. Hall shot the gun ana l
shot the pistol" Turning to White he
said: "See, Mr.. White, what you nave
brought me to-" Hall said he had nothing
to say other than what he had before stated
about his part in the assassination anu
Whites instigation OF it.
White said: s.God be with my wife"
Then they were asked il they would like
70 be prayed for. White said, "No"; but
the negroes requested Rev. MIR. Gordon. to
offer prayer, which be did. The wagon
was then driven from under them. They
were cut down in twenty-five minutes.

+. BURR-H1sr0RY OF THE PROCEEDINGS, &c.

ERECTION OF A GRANITE MONUMENT IN HOLLY
WOOD TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE DAVID
!. BURR-H1sToRY OF THE PROCEEDINGS, &C.
Yesterday in Hollywood, over the grave
of David /. Burr, there was erected shaft
monument to mark the spot where this
bigh-toned merchant sleeps his last sleep.
On the 10th day Of February, 1877, the
| following preamble and resolutions were
| adopted and the committee appointed:
Whereas, the city OF Richmond, in the
death OF David I. Burr, Esq, lost one OF
her most useful and public-spirited citi-
zens---a man who reflected credit on our
city and State, and who for quarter OF 4,
century worked for the advancement Of our
commerce with an eye single to our sue
cess; and whereas he was the founder and
first president OF the Richmond Chamber Of
Commerce, we desire to show to the world
our admiration for the man and the mer-
chant who, by his high-toned words and
acts, won the esteem OF all who knew him:
therefore,
ReSotued by the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce, That a monument OF Virginia
granite should be erected over his grave, to
show to coming generations the sacred spot
where rests David I. Burr, the first pres
ident Of the Richmond Chamber OF Com
merce," the worthy Citizen" the honor
able merchant" the "honest man." the
" consistent Christian"
ReSotred, That the President OF this
Chamber appoint committee 5f seven
three from the Board and four outside
who are authorized to receive subscriptions
and to carry out the object Of these resolu-
tions.
THOMAS PORTS, Chairman;
r. E. BLANKENSHIP,
Moses MILLHlsER,
Inside the Board;
JOHN PURCELL,
T. w. MCCANCE,
ISAAC DAVENPORT, Jr.,
3. c. GRAY,
Outside the Board.
Under the management Of this committee
a contract was made with Mr. James john
ston, TWenty-siXth and Dock streets, for q
shaft-monument fifteen and half feet high
OF Virginia granite. The stone was fur
nished by the Old Dominion Granite Com.
pany, and is'a very superior piece OF gran
ite. Perhaps in the long history OF Rich
mond no man ever did more good among
men than Mr.. Burr. The Chamber or COM
merce could have undertaken no work that
meets with more general approval than in
marking the grave OF its first president.
The monument is inscribed rs follows:
Erected by the
Richmond Chamber OF Commerce"
70 its first President,
David |. Burr.
Born October 16, 1920.
Died August 4, 1876.

THE BANKRUPT BILL.-Hon. John t. Har-

OF Congress, has telegraphed to an official
here that the repeal of the bankrupt bill is
certain, and advising all parties interested
to take notice accordingly. His language is
that the bill will be passed just as soon as it
can be reached. The repeal will go into ef-
feet as soon as the bill is approved by the
President. The fact that he is member OF
the committee which has been considering
the reDeal makes his opinion OF importance.
