I Death Of Prince Hannibal.
A NEGRO WHO CLAIMED TO BE THE
SON OF A KING AND WHO OWNED
SLAVES.

Warrenton, Va, January s. An
aged negro named Hannibal Brown,
who lived alone IN a cabin near
this place, was, found dead last
night. Brown had remarkable
history. He was brought to this
country from Africa in 1920. He
always affirmed that his father was
a king, who wore jewels and own
ed many men. lie was tall and
commanding in appearance, and,
while always deferential TO white
people, would allow none Of his col
ored brethren to be familiar with
him, and 10 the day of his death he
required them to treat him with the
respect due prince. His former
master received such convincing
proofs Of his royal birth that he
emancipated him long before the
war. Prince Hannibal then went
TO work as a blacksmith and made
much money. AS fast as he made
money he invested it in slaves and
he was, far as is known, the only
negro man in the United States
who was a slave holder. From his
slaves he required the homage due
his rank and no one Of them wss
permitted to come in his presence
save with uncovered head. Anoth-
er remarkable fact connected with
his life was his devotion to the
cause Of the South during the war,
and he gave time and money to the
cause, as he believed firmly in the
right to own slaves, which he in
herited from his native country.
IIe refused always to shoe horses
for Federal soldiers, and whenever
they came around he would 60 to
bed and complain Of being sick.
He was imprisoned in the Old Cap:
itol at Washington, as he was sus-
pected of giving aid and informa-
ton to the southern soldiers. AS
everything he had was invested 10
slaves the war left him penniless,
and he since that time managed to
make meagre living at blacksmith
ing, but bis old age prevented him
from doing much work, He was
never married. because he could
find no woman Of his race who was
what he considered his equal by
birth and he lived an isolated life
for this reason. The colored
people could not, because he
wonld not permit them, visit him.
For a week he had not been seen,
and yesterday some gentlemen went
to his small cabin and looked
through the window. Prince Han
nibal was sitting back in the chair
his arms folded, his head dropping
on his breast, dead. lie had fro
zen to death probably week ago

OUR neighbor, the Frsinisn says
The Herald says it does not propose
to burden its columns with the mani.
festoes of Malone and intimates that
they are too numerous
Exactly so, Malone has issued bat
one address since the election, and this
he issues as chairman Of the readjuster
committee"
But Ithis one. The Editor OF the
T:7inian must certainly have failed to
read The papers. Let us see what one
ofthe Malone papers says:
"Gen. Mahone's address 10 the
North, is the editorial hea ding. Further
en- he says, at is written in Gen. Ma.
homes terse and vigorous style and ito
facts and figures are unsnswerable. .
1T. with the address Of the
Executive Committee to the readjus-
tiers, should be in the hands Of every
voter 10 the State"
If you have failed to see this dOcu.
ment written in Gen. Mahone's terse
and vigorous style" and containing
facts and figures that are unanswer-
able" according TO the evidence Of a
Malone paper, it is not orr fault. 1t is
certainly q manifesto and as you admit
that be issued one we prove by Ma.
hone paper that he issued another. As
a further evidence Of the fact we would
respectfully refer to the Richmond
Wing.
1t further states that we publish two

I've suppose he means Dem ocratic, and
the otEer a Radical-iunder, (by this
term we suppose be means Republi.
CAM. We will state further that the
Republican address was published for
the benefit OF Democrats, and to con.
vince them that it was necessary for
Democrats TO organize in order 10 beat
the Republicans. We fear the Republi.
cans, not the small Malone faction
which could drum up but 81, 900 votes
and 1000 OF them have been claimed
as Republicans, 10 the last contest
The people well know that the contest
is to be between the Democrats and
Republicans aud they know that The
Democrats beat the Malone faction to
the tune Of $4,000 to $1,000, when the

papers and canvassers they had last
iall' land are now actively at work
everywhere with good results, while
the fuHders have scarcely anybody
willing to go upon the stump, except d
lev candidates for congress, and are
begging outsiders for ald." Ifwith all
these Disadvantages the Democrats beat
the Malone faction over 10000, it il
certainly useless to fight them in this
campaign. They have no show for
success, and the people will certainly
not be again fooled by their boast Of
great strength and their ability to do
what they propose. Under the circum.
stances We consider it altogether IN.
necessary to burden our columns With
long addresses from the Readjuster Ex.
ecuilve Committee. 1t is true, people
might read them as they would now
read Gen. Mahone's predictions a. to
the result Of the last election-to be
amused and nothing more.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Jan. IT,
George Hines, S. years old, resid-

to residence of Lizzie Kuene,a girl
OF IS, living with her widowed
mother, and renewed a former pro-
posal OF marriage to the young lady.
He met with a firm though kind
refusal. The infatuated man drew
the pistol. Miss Kuene anticiPs
ted him by seizing a shot gun, con-
vsniently at hand. lodging its con-
tents in his head and killing him.
