REPUBLICAN reporter met Mason Lowery,
one of the star route jurors, yesterday, and
asked him if it vas true that he was buildin 6
a house from the proceeds of the gen erosity
of the gentlemen whom he aided in acquit-
ing.
"No SIR" said Mr.. Lowery, al am not
building house, nor do l have any imme-
diate intention of doing So l once owned u
house. but when l was discharged from the
bureau of engraving and printing found l
could not keep it, and sold it. l hope to be
able to own another house one of these days,
but it will be when l have more money than
have now"
"Were you approached by any of the de-
PENDANTS in regard to your action while the
trial was in progress ?"
al was not approached by anybody. No
one tried to influence me in the least, nor do
/ believe that an attempt was made upon any
of the jury. l would not allow any one OUT
side to talk to me about the case, not even
my wife,"
Mr.. Lowery, it may be stated, is colorcd
man, having more than the average intelli
gence. He was for many years an employ'
of the bureau of engraving and printing, bu
when the sweeping discharges of '76 and z
were made he was removed. He then wen
into the confectionery business, which he sue
cessfuly carried on until he was forced Il
abandon it on account of the illness of hi
wife. He is known as an honest, uprigh
man, and is greatly respected.

PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.
Large Number OF Changes In the Post
Office Department. 'i1' y

Large Number OF Changes In the host-
Office Department. ''I' -
As result of the conference by Postmaster
General Gresham with his three assistants,
mentioned in THE REPUBLICAN, there have
been 100 promotions and appointments made
in the clerical force of the p ostoflice depart
ment. Most of these are among the minor
grades, and include but few new appoint
me nts. Some half dozen of the ladies dis
mi ssed from the Typographical office were re-
appointed, places having been made for them
by removing those who were believed to be
less competent as clerks. The provision made
in the last appropriation bill creating four
chiefs of divisions was complied with by pro-
noting the principal clerks in each division
to that position, as follows:
Il. G. Fowler, of Maryland; chief of the ap-
pointment division of the first assistants
office; Albert w. Scott, of Iowa, chief Of the
salary and allowance division; DIV. Rhodes
of Ohio, chief of the division of postotfice
supplies George W. Wells, of Maryland, chiet
of the finance division of the third assistants
office. In each case these are promotions
from 81, 800 to $1,000 per annum.
1t is stated that no further changes arr
contemplated, and that these were only mad'
in order to make the clerical force COM
within the requirements of the law.

THE BICYCLE CASE.
Judge SMELLS Decision Ina Imposing n
Fine on the Assailant.


Fine on the Assailant.
In the police court yesterday Mr. I. d.
Chapman was fined $40 for willfully run
ming over Mr.. Frank Lane, who was riding
bicycle. Judge Smell said In consideration
of the fact that Mr. Lane had sustained only
slight injuries, and that the damage to the
bicycle could not be considered in case of
assault, nominal fine OF $40 was imposed.
The amount of damages for injury to the
bicycle, however. is u matter for after con-
sideration by civil suit, The judge, in i'm
posing fine, stated that in the eyes of the
law bicycle is a carriage, having in com
mon with other carriages equal rights to the
streets aud highways, p> p>otected by the same
laws and their riders amenable to the same
road laws governing tho drivers of other ve-
hicles. The decision was also given that
while the law defines exactly how carriages
Tor bicycles) shall pass each other in an oppo-
site direction, that in passing in the same di-
recton il is allowable to pass upon
either side which offers the least OBJ
struction or gives the most open way; aud
after the carriage or bicycle behind has indi'
Gated the course by starting upon 1t, the car
riage in front must not obstruct the way
When man driving team turns out OF his
course TO obstruct the course OF bicycle hi
does SO ut his peril. Where the way was
open upon both sides, usage, however, requires
that the party in the rear desiring to pas
shall do SO ON the left.

During the past week quite an un-
usual interest has been felt through
out the state in the trial of what is
known as the Banks county kuklux
case. Eight young men were ar
rested sometime since in Banks
county, carried 10 Atlanta and placed
in Jail upon the charge of negroes
for kukluxing. The case came up
for trial last week in the United
States Court before Judge Mckay
with Emory Speer as prosecuting
attorney. General Gartrell represen-
ted the defendants, and notwith-
standing his able counsel, after a
vigorous trial of several days, the
entire party was found guilty.
This is the first case in the history
of the state where a conviction has
been reached upon the charge of ku-
kluXing. If a new trial is not gran
ted, which is not at all probable, the
young men, eight in number, will go
to the penitentiarY for a period Of
from two to six years.

who raise their own corn are apt to

BY Telegraph
ST.. LOUIS, October 29-The Post
Dispatch, in late edition TO-DAY,
prints special from Austin, Texas,
stating that intense excitement pre-
vailed there last night and to-day,
because of a telegram received hv
Governor Ireland, reporting that
800 negroes were under arms in the
town of Ganse, Vermilion county,
and an outbreak was momentarilv
expected, and asking for immediate
help. The late decision by The ST.
preme Court regarding the civil
rights bill has created very bad
feeling among the negroes in various
parts OF the State, and an outbreak
has been looked for. Governor Ire
land at once issued proclamation
calling out the militia Two compa-
pies were mustered at once and efore
midnight last night over 1000 men
at Austin, Houston, Galveston and
other places responded to the call
and were ready to march at a mo-
ment's notice. These troops were
still awaiting orders at 2 clock this
afternoon. The precise nature of the
trouble could not be ascertain4d, but
there seems to be no doubt that
disturbance of some kind is in prog
ress. Governor Ireland has ordered
special military train to be got
ready for immediate use.
At $50, when the dispatch closed,
the writer says the Governor receiy-
ed telegram from the sheriff of the
county and from railroad officials,
saying that the matter has qnieted,
and no particulars of the affair were
given.
