LONG view, Tex, Sept. IA reign Of
terror prevails in every portion of the Coun-
ty, except, perhaps, Kilgore, from which
place there is no report. The excitement is
due to a raid on the whites supposed to be
contemplated by negroes. White farmers
have their wives and children in gin houses
and are holding guard over them. In some
communities little sleep has been had since
of fear or stern determination,
are seen everywhere and betoken the ex-
tremities produced by the blood curdling
reports brought in by each new arrival Hun
dreds of countrymen were in Longview to-
day, and on returning to their homes carried
all the arms and ammunition obtsinable. In
many cases. when q weapon was called for q

peIation, and strive to obtain Its possession
A new supply of fifty Winchesters was
smong what was taken by the countryDen
1t is reported that the negroes received
by express at Gladwster, the next
station west, fifty Winchesters. and that
weapons are being received by them all over
the country. Probably the whole trouble
has eTisen from threats and speeches of few
colored persons OF bad reDuts, whose course
is not sanctioned, and was not known by the
mass of the negroes There are indications
that as much fear has bean excited among
the latter as among the whites. However

the Fl Paso Times and the other 0y s. Shaw

stage of the investigation into the circum-
stances attending the girls death, every effort
was made to ascertain who lie man With the
black mustache was and where he came from.
But the msn disappeared so suddenly and
completely after the investigation was set
on foot that many interested in the case
we're disposed to regard him as a myth. r.
M. Bassett, wealthy manufacturer of Biz

tim of q gross and motiveless deception he
had the strange fortune TO meet the man

how he met young msn on the railway
rain at Brussels late one night, and travelled
with him to London. The Two became &C

him, and took passage for Germany, being
literally supplied with money By parties

way OF the authorities, and being under
agreement not TO return to America, he was
about TO go to Australia, as he saw a favora-
Bile opening there. Mr.. Bassett parted with
him in London. One of the gentleman to
whom Mr. Bassett told this story says; "Mr.
Bassett spoke of his adventure in the course
of q conversation which we had about the
strange scguaiutances Leaple make when

poisoned at the MAlley House. He claimed
that the killing of the girl YVES not intended.
