HANGED AT MONTICELLO,
EXECUTION OF ANDREW FELL.
demned-PrOtestfng His Innocence
Declaring That He Would Get
His Dinner I'm Heaven-HtS Neck
Broken by the FaIl-GeneraI Com
victIOn That He Lied on the Scaf-
fold.

MONTICELLO, FLA, April 22.-Andrew
ker, was executed to-day. The event
brought large number Of negroes to town,
but only few citizens were admitted to
the jail enclosure, where the execution took
place. Sheriff T. B. Simkins had been very
careful In all his arrangements, and 1t
proved to be a very successful execution,
and remarkable good order prevailed.
Andrew Fell was brought from his cell at
11:20 a. m, accompanied by Rev. F. Pasco
and two colored preachers, all Of whom as
scaffold.
For few minntes the doomed man ap-
peared to be dszed, but be. e.instantly rallied,
and in a firm, loud voice made rambling
speech, in which he protested his innocence
of the crime for which he was about to be
executed, and assured his colored relatives
and friends that they must not grieve for
him, as he was happy and ready to leave !;
that he had eaten his breakfast here and
would get his dinner in heaven.
At the conclusion of his remarks
he called upon the ministers on the
platform to pray. All three complied,
and then, at the special desire OF the con,
demned man, they sang, son Jordan's
Stormy Banks Stand,;' etc.
At 11:52 a. m. he stepped upon the trap,
the black cap was adjusted, the rope was
cut, and In an instant Andrew Fell was
dangling between the heavens and the earth.
He had fall OF five feet, and his neck was
broken. He struggled for two minutes.
Life was extinct in ten, and he was cut down
after hanging seventeen minutes.
He certainly displayed a great deal of
firmness to the last. When he stepped up
on the trap there was not tremor visible.
Although protesting his innocence to the
last the evidence adduced against him leaves
no doubt Of his guilt, and it is the prevail
ing belief that Andrew Fell quilted earth
with lie upon his tongue.

Heaven; that he had nothing against her,
and did not kill her because of another
woman. He assigned no motive for
the deed. He asked to be informed
when they were ready. When the
black cap was drawn over his head he
thanked the Sheriff for his kindness. Rev.
T. Hassett (colored) exhorted him to be
steadfast in keeping his mind on
Christ. He said, ~ will" The trap

SIOUX CRY, Iowa, April 21.-The Mis-
souri, river is still rising at this point, and is
now fully one foot higher than at any pre-
Vious time this season, and also higher than
at any time recorded in the history OF the
city. Dispatches from Sully report the river
still rising there, so there is no immediate
prospect of lower water here. While the
water Is doing no particular damage,
it has penetrated to the lower parts of the
town. The Floyd and other small streams
are rapidly subsiding. 1t Is reported to-day
that the last of the imperiled Dakota suf-
ferers have been rescued from their watery
surroundings and taken to places OF safety.
Supplies for them are coming in, and as
fast as they can be placed within reach of
the sufferers the demand for food and also
for clothing will be fully met.
CHICAGO, April 22.-A dispatch from
Omaha says the water rose steadily all
night and is now six inches higher than at
the late rise or than ever known before. The
river Is still rising and the prospects are
anything but reassuring.
The water is receding In Chicago and the
mills which were stopped by the Hood, have

Bainbridne Democrnt


We hear talk, insinuations and rumors
to the effect that our Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway is to be extended
to Pollard, Ala. Of this great expecta
ton, however, we know nothing def
mite.
1t is plain to the most squint-eyed
that the extension of the road would
benefit South Georgia more than any
other one thing under heaven. 1t is
also plain that Savannah's prosperity
would be put beyond peradventure. II
is further certain that the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway by this
extension would become the leading
highway between the Mississippi Valley
aud the Atlantic Ocean-and hence
would make its value incalculable.
This road is one of the longest in the
State. Its line is $50 miles in extent.
and therefore the cost of its operation is
large. 1t has never been paying road
to the stockholders, because it has had
to depend almost entirely upon its local
traffic But while it has not been paw
ing investment as a railroad, it has built
up Southern Georgia, and has added
millions to the taxable property of the
Ct1eO' hlAey JCdAo dSO LOU ulI6S OF
the domain through which it runs was a
wilderness; to-day it is thickly settled
and prosperous country.
This railroad has contributed more
to the building up of Georgia than any
other enterprise ever established-and
should it be pushed forward to its
western terminations, the good results
would be far greater. From Pollard,
Ala, it would find connection with
the West, and probably become part of
the Southern Pacific,
But will the work be pushed forward? Z?
