The Brutal Murder of a Negro.

Washington, Ga., Sept. 3.-While Mrs. Geo. W. Felts was shaking fruit from a tree, Peter Broomfield (colored) asked her to be careful that she did not break off any branches. The lady lost her temper, and made complaint to her husband. After wards, while Broomfield was at work roofing a house, in company with three other men, Felts apL cared at the foot of the ladder with double barreled shot gun. Broomfeld com prehended the situation and pleaded for mercy. Felts said: If you will come down and let me fog you that will be the end of 1t. If you don't l will kill you" Broomfeld's terrified companions urged him to take a logging and save his life. As Broom field commenced the descent of the ladder Felts without saying a word, fired both barrels of his gun and two ball from his revolver into his body. Broomneld fell to the ground, face upward, a corpse. Felts walked to where the body lay, and with curse, fired three bullets from 8 pistol into the dead mans breast. Then turning to the terrified spectators, Felts said There, I guess that fixed him." and walked away. since which he has not been seen. The negros are intensely excited, and say if they capture Felts they will hnrn him alive to stake ih tbe woods. Broomfeld was aL inof- fensive negro and we'll liked. Felts Is 27 years old and member of all aristocratic family.

WiIl Prove Disastrous.

London, Sept. 6.-The Times edit orially says that Frarce is steadily drifting into war with China. The latter is valuable only in those points which occupy quasi international position and any blow struck there will be felt throughout Europe. The shock to English trade in the cast Indies will be disastrous and the relations between England and France will be seriously embittered thereby. The dislocation of the cot ton trade would throw out of em. ployment thousands ot operators. Lancashire and revenue to the Brit ish crown from India would show se- rious defect.

Deserved Their Fate. Indignant Citizens of Florence Dispose OftwO Stage Robbers by
 R1nOinr

A special dispatch from Florence of September 3rd, states that Deputy U. s. Marshal Evans, arrived at that place thls morning before day light, with q posse of five men and Hank Red6eld, brother of Len Redfeld and J. J. Bullis, of Benson, with an order from Judge PInnev to bring Len Redield to Phenix on a writ of habeas corpus, which the Marshal served on deputy sheriff Scanlan. He refused to give the prisoners up, as the attorney here held that the writ was not i'll form. Hank Rsdheld and J. J. Blllis hired a fast team aud left town in the direction of the Plea cho. Deputy sheriff Scanlan and citizens thinking they had gone after more men to get the prisoners by force, Scanlan summoned a large posse to hold the marshals posse in check. At about nine o'clock 1t was rumored that the marshal had sent for a company of soldiers and thls rumor but increased the excitement of citizens, who turned out in body and went down to the jail, oyerpOw- cred the guard, and took Len Red field and Joe Futile out and hanged them in the corridor of the jail. The doomed men made no statement and died without struggle, after which the crowd brought Frank Carpenter out and showed him the bodies of the hanged men and told him that was what he was coming to if he did not reform and mend his ways. He was saved fon q like fate only because evidence was not very conclusive. The action of the citizens meet the appreciation of all, as the evidence against Redfeld and Futile was con elusive. The coroner's jury summon ed to set on the bodies rendered verdict that Len Redfeld and Joe Futile came to their death by hang ing, by parties unknown to the iu- ry.
