CASUALTIES,
Horror of Horrors!

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.J
GoLDsBoRo. N Collaboration has just
been received here of horrible an brutal
outrage committed yesterday by a negro
named Jias johnson, upon the person of
Miss Lula Cox. beautiful accom- plish-
ed school teacher in Pitt county. She had
left her school and was on her way home
when she was overtaken by the hurley ne
gro, who made his infamous proposition to
her. She ran away from him, but he pur-
sued her, and after fierce chase caught
her. He accomplished his purpose after
beating her nearly senseleSs; then. as though
his lust could not be satiated, the fiend multi
ated her with a knife and otherwise abused
her and he left her for dead. She aroused
sufficiently to drag her mangled form to the
school house, where, after writing, which,
though blurred and blooded-stained, that
her dying hand had traced the words, burn
him. she fell dead. The citizens have ar
rested the fiend and lodged him in the Jail
at Kingston.
