A Young Man srnienced for n Trivial
crime Beaten TO Death.


:, MEMPHIS, TENN, July 24.-An educated
Polander, named Alfred Werner, manag,
ing county convicts on the Belcoe cotton
plantation, thirty.tive miles above the
mouth OF Arkansas river, in Desha county,
permitted three brutal negro guards to use
four-found strap, with club handle, in
form oil a Russian knout, in whipping a
young machinist from Cliston or Dewitt,
ILL.,, named Chas Mast. The three negroes
took turns and beat Mast until several ribs
were broken, while the end OF the bones
protruded through the flesh. Werner came
up during the infiction, ,and Mast begged
for mercy, when the guards were ordered TO
stop whipping. The man dieeshortly after,
aud testimony at the Inquest showed it to
be an outrageous and. unheard.oi, case OF
brutality. The prisoner had been sentenced
on the trivial charge OF attempting TO de-
fraud woman out Of two or three dollars
board money, and while working out his
sentence at Belcoe was set TO plowing cot
ton, work that he knew nothing about.
After round or two he said he could not
piow longer, and for this the beating was
given. Werner, fiudingth man would die,
sent several miles for surgeon, and at the
same time for nails 10 make his coffin.
Werner is known to haye killed two other
men in the vicinity during the last year or
two, and rumor has 1t that others have
been slaughtered and buried in the night
time by him.
He and the three negroes were arrested
last Friday and had a preliminary exami.

and were ordered 10 Jail at Arkansas City,
the county seat. While in charge Of Dep
nty Sheriff Robert Bynum and Van Ry.
man, Saturday noon, and when about to
board the steamer Ida Darragh, at Bur
nett's Landing, near the Belcoe place, a
mob Of exasperated whites and blacks
fired upon the prisoners. Two buckshot
penetrated Werner, one in the thigh, lodg.
lug in the groin, and one in the back, pass
ing in the stomach. inaicting dangerous
wounds. One Of the affrighted negro
whippers under arrest, named Geo. Bert
leaped overheard and was killed by the
mob on shore. The steamer pushed OF
quickly, and made no landing az
ter, though hailed, and mails, pas.
sengers and freight were carried
past stopping points. The entire country
people 'ot thickly settled region, white
and black, seemed aroused, and thirsted
for Werner and bis black satrapG blood.
The steamer met the Anchor Line City oi
New Orleans some distance above the
mouth OF White River, and transferred the
wounded man, also the two darky prisoners
with the Sheritfa, the party being destined
to Jail at Arkansas City. II Is thought the
mob will take them from Jail, as It is a
weak wooden structure.
As the Darragh came out OF the river,
scattering shots were fred by crowds gath.
cred along shore, but no bullets are known
to have hit the boat.
The man Werner had brother elected
Clerk Of Crittenden county, Ark, on the
Republican ticket last year; also sister a
music teacher 10 this city.

Correspondence q the InteLliGHe1.
MAErrYsBURG, W. Va, July 23.-The
first move on the political chess board, in
this section Of the State 80 far as Il Q
campaign Of 1884 is concerned, was
made to-day in the sale OF the
Satesmaa OF this city, to W. D. Colston.
The retiring editor, D. S. Eichelberger, is
known all over the State as bold, sggres.
sive exponent Of what may be termed the
"old School Democracy" He has sur-
ported the party and its principles, rath, r
than men and their selfish measures. As
a result there has b9en constant and
growing dissatisfaction among certain
clique, and tits believed the sale is the re-
suit OF an effort 10 solidiiy the party in
Berkeley county for the benefit oil one
man. Mr.. Eichelberger Is gentleman
who possesses the respect OF the commu.
nifty and all who know him. The incoming
editor, Mr.. Colston, is man OF culture
and research, has been honored by his
party with office, having been elected Ae-
SCISSOR in 1875 and Justice OF the Peace in
1880. The latter Office he still holds. He
is also Commissioner OF Accounts for
Berkeley county. He is party man, q
warm personal friend OF Hon. E. Boyd
Faulkner. 1t il the generally accepted
theory that the move IL one directly In
favor Of Mr.. Faulkner, who is an aspirant
for Gubernatorial honos. Rumors Of this
change gained currency during the last
campaign, but for some Canse the expected
transfer did not occur. Why the matter
was dropped is not known.
A COINCIDENCE.
1t may be nero coincidence, but 1t is
worthy Of note, that E. Boyd Faulkner,
Chairman OF the Democratic Central Com
mitttee, called that body together on this
the day that witnesses the transfer OF the
Statesman from conservative hsnds to the
management Of strict party man. Such
things do happen in every day life. Why

man, under the guidance OF Mr.. Eiche!-
berger, would have broken up the Demo-
cratic party in berkeley county, but that
it was formidable barrier in the way OF
those who are "cAlled to the 'front.'" Is an
open secret. The opinion obtains than an
interview reported by "Quip" in letter
from this place brought on the crisis.
The announcement Of the name OF Jo-
seph Haldeman, Of this place, for Govern.
ernor, has met d very aattering reception.
Many Republicans, both here and else
where, urge him TO become candidate,
but so far he positively declines. He
would make strong fight, winning fight.
No man in the State Il better qualiii d for
the position than he, and his candidacy
would add strength 10 the ticket, and create
enthusiasm in the party. The Republicans
OF Berkeley are wids awake, and preparing
for vigorous campaign in 1884. A deter
mined, and it is believed, successful effort
will bs made to carry this county for the
Republican party at the next election.
