BENEVOLENT MA. wIxAM.


At meeting of the Ladies' Benevolent
Society, held the other day, it was resolved
that a committee of four ladies be appointed
to canvass for donations, and in the course
of their perigrinations this committee yes
terday dropped into Mr. wixam's office.
He received them as a gentleman should,
and after the usual forinalities one Of them
began:
"Mr. Wixam, we are asking aid for benev-
olent purposes" .3vea
"Ahl yes. Benevolenrc is bump which
should be cultivated. Are you looking after

"Thars very proper. presume their

The women looked at each other in sly
way, and then at him, and one of them
said: ..s t.,.,ste
"we shall be happy for any contribu.
tions." t e
"Yes'm, yes'm. You don't want this con-
tribution for your own familiessehH"
"No, sir I" answered four voicesin chorus.
"Well, am somewhat inclined to benev-
olence. Hardly day passes that don't
do something for charity. Here's an old
account Of twenty-six dollars ssainst Mr..

One Of the canvassers turned red, white

"And yesterday, found poor, forlorn-

going to take him home and feed him, but

Another woman suddenly looked out Of
the window, and her pulse ran up To 100 a
minute, but Wixam was as innocent as
lamb of any knowledge that Il was her boy.
"Then you Won't aid us9" oueried the
spokesman.
"oh, yes, certainly will. wss simply

out in heap. Some were red and some
were pale, and all mad. They tried TO
speak, but they couldn't, and as they has
tened to get away from each other. Wixam
held up the hslf- written order and sssped.

NASHVILLE, Feb. 19.
The Iynching Of the five Lsprade
murders, colored, at Spriugf Id, has
created a profound sensation here.
The judge had just concluded his
charge to the jury last night when
the mob rushed into the court room
and seized the prisoners, who were
about to be conveyed to Jail by the
sheriff, and hurried them TO the ver-
anda of the second story, where nooses
had quietly been provided. They
placed the nooses around the necks of
the prisoners and threw them over.
When the mob entered the court
room, the officers attempted to defend
the prisoners, but were intimidated
by pistols placed at their head.
The spectators were thrown into
cons ernation, retiring hastily through
the windows of the !t'rOom. The
mob would not permit any one to
come near the bodies of the murderers
uOtll tilSY "oi9 sure tu0y were USaU'

that troops were present for. the pro-

gave q parade in the courthouse
yesterday before dark last night;
that after dark furious thunder
storm came on All fear of the prison
ers being lynched then vanished, A
night session was held to finish the
trial. Judge Stark gave his charge
to the jury, after which the sheriff
proceeded with the prisoners, James
Higgins, Lack Mallory, Lon. Thweat,
Robert Thweat and James Elder,
to jail. A mob of about
two hundred pressed upon the sheriff
and took the prisoners, closed the
courthouse and its grounds, station
ed strong picket guard around
them, and hung five negro prisoners
from the second story windows OF
mod was from without and was so
Suuden ana OOlSGefOuS, accompanied
by the firing of pistols and guns into
the air, as TO terrify the spectators in
the oourt-rooms, who jumped from
the windows and hastened from the
scene.
Murphy and Duffy, the two
charged with compl city in the muir
der, having been released on Thurs
day, had returned to their old stamp
ing ground, which is thought to have
precipitated the action of the mob.
The mob is after them, and it is be-
lieved they will be lynched not later
than tonight.
The mob numbers 200 well-armed
men, who came in from four direc-
tions, on horseback, and dispersed
in the same manner.
They did not shoot or mutilate
the prisoners, but left them hanging
when assured that they were dead.
The dispatches are silent as to what

General Alexander, vice-president

marks can be given as follows:
/" The road has been purchased not
by the Louisville and Nashville, but
by persons largely interested in our
company, and moved to this act first
because of d desire to increase the
value OF the Louisville and Nashs

it to be good investment, and
are certain, rightly managed, it
will bring a good return for the
money. 1t is too soon yet to say just
what are our future plans, as we
have not yet become familiar with
our property, but already we have
