An Atlanta Sensation.

ATLANTA, GA, April 2S.-Tuesday night
about midnight three well-connected Atlanta
young men, holding responsible positions in
this city, were passing along an alley in the
rear OF the ice-house, when one of them,
Aleck Joyner, became involved in terrible
difficulty with a powerful black negro,
nE med Romalis Shields. Knives were drawn,
and his two friends coming to the aid OF
Joyner, desperate fight ensued. The negro
stood his ground, receiving two severe blows
on the head with rocks and deep stab under
the left arm, piercing within half an inch OF
his heart. Joyner was frightfully cut by
Shields with a long bladed pocketknife, the
cash extending through his left lung. He
was assisted to his room, where he now
lies, his life hanging by thread. In
the Police Court this morning the case
was Investigated and the fact developed that
the negro was assaulted because of his
refusal to take message to a woman. The
evidence, however, was conflicting, and it
will take State trial to fix the blame on
the right party. A warrant for assault with
intent to commit murder was taken out
against Shields. Joyner is an insurance
man and belongs TO one of the best families
in the city. He has strong friends among
the best young men here, and if he dies it is
thought that short work will be made OF

NETT, who was placed in the State prison TO
serve a term for committing murder. Ham
NETT belongs to a turbulent family, having
had several brothers 'outlawed' by the law
abiding element of his section The horrible
recitals of the crimes committed by tie
Hammetts are too revolving to publish.
...In Roland township Mr.. Smith ard
Peter Wise quarreled over game of cards.
Wise drew a knife and commenced to whittle
Smith down to a respectable size. Smith
came out worsted in the difficulty, and it is
probable that he will die from the effects.
Wise is hiding out in the cane, with a
double-barreled shotgun for a companion,
and anybody who wants him can go and
get him.

NEW ORLEANS.
Money Market Working Smoothly
General Trade Fairly Satisfactory.

Money Market Working Smoothly
General Trade Fairly Satisfactory.
New ORLEANS, April 2S.-The money
market is working smoothly, the demand for
accommodation at the banks being promptly
met. The demand for cotton spots has been
good and factors have been enabled to obtain
better prices, particularly on the lower grades,
which have advanced from ] to 4c. At the
close the feeling is one of confidence. The
weeks sales were $4,000 bales. Advices
relative to planting in the Mississippi val
ley are conflicting, but there is little doubt
that the area of land cultivated will be con-
siderably reduced, though in large proper
ton of the overflowed lands the waters have
receded sufficiently early to admit of plant
ing within the period. Business in futures
has been rather tame all the week. At no
time has there been any excitement, and the
fluctuations have been light. Compared to
last weeks prices they are l to 8 points
dearer. The weeks sales were 236, 900 bales.
The sugar market was firm all the week, and
the supplies were not sufficient to meet the
demand for local requirements. Molasses-
nothing doing in plantation goods, the sup
plies are exhausted and the trade is confined
to refined and reboiled. Rice has ruled
active and firm throughout the week, with
light supplies.

NEW YORK.
General Trade Outlook Extremely Fa-
YOrabIe, with q GOOD Buslness.


yorabie, with GOOD Business.
New York, April 2S-The general out
look of trade may be considered extremely
favorable. The grain market is irregular
and somewhat unsettled, with quite break
in the leading descriptions in the early part
of the week. The market closes weak in all
descriptions. In lard and pork there was no
material change in prices. Cotton has been
very quiet, with fluctuations within raDge
of very few points, tue market closing firm.
In boots and shoes reasonably good bust
ness is being done for the season. Manufac-
turers are busy on old contracts, but dupli-
cate orders come in steadily. In American
pig iron little is doing except filling small
orders. The furnaces are we'll employed on
old contracts. The consumption of iron is
very large and prices are firm. In Scotch
pig there have been some large transactions
at lower prices. In teas the prospect does
not brighten. The heavy sales at auction by
foreigners do not afford much encouragement
to the regular trade. The importations are
mostly low grades. Coffee is generally back
ward, with no immediate improvement to
speak of. The distributing trade has not
fairly opened, and prices are depressed in
Consequence of the heavy stocks at home and
abroad seeking market. Holders of raw
sugar are very firm and exacting in their
demands; refiners are doing well, and prices
are maintained TO keep pace with the cost of
crude SUGAR.

JUDGE BuokNrR. one OF the pemocrs

JUDGE BUoKNER, one of the Democratic
members OF the Congressional Committee on
Banking and Currency, is reported in the
Cincinnati Enquirer as expressing much
doubt about the passage of the bill for ex-
tending the charters of the national banks.
He believes the bill 10 be nearly useless in
view of the rapid reduction of the public
debt and the consequent calling in of the
government bonds. Mr.. Buckner is an ad-
vocate of the proposition 10 substitute treas
ury notes for bank circulation, and has

Nay. do not mock my yearnings, sweet, and turn

NOTHING short of the humiliation of the
Jews will satisfy Russian rapacity and big
otry. Murder, pillage and arson are the
crimes which are daily perpetrated under
the eye of the law and seemingly under its
protection. Certainly, to put it mildly, the
law maintains horrible neutrality, and this
long suffering people can find no redress, no
relief, no protection save by immigration.
The United States is their only refuge.

Terrible Tragedy.

DANvLLE, VA, April 2s.AA terrible
tragedy took place Wednesday in Yanceyville,
n. c., about twenty miles from this place.
Felix Roane, popular and widely known
young farmer, killed Nat johnson, of that
place, and wounded seriously George Will
Hanson, jr. Roane's weapon was a double
barreled shotgun. The parties connected
with the tragedy belong to some of the first
families of North Carolins, Roane being son
of the late DR.. Roane, one of the most
prominent men in North Carolina. William
son is a son of Senator Williamson, a
wealthy planter. Yanceyville, the scene of
the tragedy, was the place where the famous
kuklux had some of it's most exciting
episodes, and where Stevens met his horrible
death, as it was asserted, by the hands of the
band of masked raiders

over the head two or three days ago with
a shotgun by a guard named Devanny, from
the effects of which he died last evening.
Devanny has been placed under arrest, and
he will probably be held on the charge of
murder, inasmuch as the assault was brutal
and unprovoked. ---.e.- -

A VERY earnest effort is being made to
open Columbia College, New York, to
women. Why there should be any opposi-

women are to stand before the law the equal

not Withstand the onslaughts of freedom.

A Virginia Borgia.

LOUISA COURTHOUSE Va, April 2S.-This
place was, on Wednesday, the scene of a
startling poisoning case. Mr.. Buck Mack is
a jolly and good-lookiDg country squire,
whose handsome appearance has made him
a lion among the young ladies of the country.
Among the ladies most avowed in their ex-
preston of admiration for him is Miss Laura
Alert, pretty brunette, whose flashing eyes
indicate that she is a miss not to be angered,
and, when reused, would be a dangerous
enemy. A few days since Buck Mack went,
by invitation, to spend the week at pretty
little villa in the neighborhood known as the
Furnace, at which resided three pretty sis
ters, Miss Alice, Lilly and Ella Folford.
Miss ALERT was told by officious friends that
Buck Mack was in a. fair way of being cap
tured by Miss Alice, especially since he
was now in the same house with her.
This morning Miss Laura sent a box of
French candy to the sisters, ACCOMPANIED by
a note saying: "Dear Girls-Eat all this
candy yourself; there is not enough of it TO
offer to Others" Miss Alice and Lilly ate a
great deal of it, and were almost immediate
ly thereafter thrown into paroxysms. The
candy was saturated with poison, and the
two young ladies are now in a precarious
condition. Much excitement prevails, as all
the parties are well known and popular.

CHERRY PECTORAL.
In the Whole History of
Medicine


No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
leving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge OF its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.

cause Lyons suspicion that an undue init

he kept an eye peeled and on the lookout for
any show that might turn up. Friday a

the bedroom of the latter. The enraged
husband furiously assailed the invader OF
his home with an ak, infictiug wounds upon
his head of such nature as to render recov-
cry doubtful. The latest information was to
the effect that the wounded man was still
alive, but his physicians were of the opinion
that his injuries would result In death.

ST. PAUL, April 2s.-About o'clock this
morning party of masked men appeared
at the Jail in Minneapolis and dem anded the
surrender of Frank McManus, a tramp who
ravished and brutally mutilated four-year
old child, Nina Spear, yesterday. The
sheriff was made prisoner by the mob, but be
refused to divulge the whereabouts of Nc
Manus. The mob then made thorough
search of the Jail, breaking open every cell on
the first floor without finding the
prisoner, they then assembled to the
floor above, and repeated the cere-
mony, breaking open all the doors until
McManus's was found. The latter was taken
to the house of his victim, where ne was
fully identified, and without further cere-
mony the mob took McManus to a large tree
in front of the high school building, and
hanged him from limb at AIS o'clock this
morning Before McManus was strung up
he confessed his terrible crime. He was a
tramp, twentw-six years old, and came from
Boston. Excitement ran very high during
the night, both in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
