HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
BRUTALITY OUTRAGED.
Mrs. Buchanan and Daughter, of
Rhea County, Taken From
Their Home and Outraged by
Seven Men, Who Carry Them
AWay---Their Escape.
Chattanooga Democrat, July %.

Chattanooga Democrat, July 30.
One of the most horrible affairs
ever chronicled in this State came
to light this morning. Mrs. Buch
anan, widow lady, and her daugh
ter, Mary, aged II years, live about
five miles from Spring City. Sever
al nights ago seven men, whom she
recognized as nci shborS, came to the
house and made insulting proposals
to the ladies. Being repulsed, the
villains forced the mother and
daughter to accompany them to the
woods, some distance from the house.
There the ladies were compelled to
remain all night with the men, who
alternately, through the long night,
outraged the mother and daughter.
All attempts at outcry or escape
were threatened with instant death.
In resisting the fends the bodies of
both ladies were mercilessly bruised
At broak of day they were taken to
the river and forced into n boat and
the whole party fioated down the
river to Smith s Landing, where the
mother was taken to the west shore,
two OF the men going with her The
boat, with the daughter and five
men, was taken to the east side. On
landing the party proceeded to the
vicinity Of Brentwood, in Bradley
county, where the girl was kept in
custody two days, when she made
her escape while the men were
sleeping off drunken stupor.
The mother made known what
had occurred and warrants were
taken out for seven men and placed
in the hands Of the sheriff, who, ins
stead of taking steps to bring the
wretches to justice, went to Cleve~
land. The warrants were then
placed in the hands of United States
Deputy Marshal Rasor, who arrest
ed a man named Gilhurst, who on
preliminary trial confessed to the
crime and gave the names of the
parties who were associated with
him in its commission. Yesterday
Henry Thomas was arrested in
Bradley county and taken to Spring
City for trial. Gilhurst was com
mitted to Jail at Washington.
The other five men, whose names
are not divulged, are still at large,
but are known to reside within a
short distance of Mrs. Buchanan.
Mrs. Buchanan and her daughter
live by farming, and are quiet and
psaceable ladies, of good character.
The daughter is said to be quite
handsome and intelligent, and on
the trial of Gilhurst gave her testi-
mony in modest but quiet manner
that denoted the lady. Her state
ment coincided with the confession
of Gilhurst.
The details of Gilhurst's confess
sion are too revoiting for public print,
and are such as to demand of the
outraged law the severest punish
ment known for such shocking deeds.

There is something peculiarly un-
fortunate for Mr.. Blaine in his Pro
hibition record. 1t is just strong
enough to secure the antagonism Of
the Germans, and yet it lie not re-
bust enough to attract the support
of the Prohibitionists. If Mr.. Blaine
had remained in Pennsylvania,
where he was bern, possibly he
would not be in this predicament.

THE TAIL OF THE TICKET

New York Sun.
When men were held as chattels,
And slavery ruled the land,
1t found in Johnny Logan
A servant at command,
Who boasted that he never
The hardest task wsuld shirk
When slavery called upon him
To do its ''dIrty work"
Rack back, Black Jack!
Get ahead, no matter how!
Turn over, fep over
Where is Johnny Logan now
He hated all the "niggers"
Outside of slavery's pen,
And vowed that they were cattle,
Who never could be men.
To drive them into bondage
Within the Southern lines,
He worried negro freemen
With prisons and with fines.
He swore that Northern soldiers,
Who sought to free the slave,
Should never pass through Egypt
Except across his grave.
The sons Of trusti ng neigh bos,
Whose mothers well he knew,
He sent across the river
To fight the men in blue.
But when upon his shoulders
The eagle sign VAS spread,
And other friends and neighbors
To Southern wars he led,
Then Logan hurried Southward
AS fast as he could go,
And killed or put in prison
The lads he sent below.
Rack back, Black Jack
Get ahead, no matter how
Turn ever, fiop over!
Where is Johnny Logan new?

1t is possible that the Republi-
can newspapers have slightly over
worked the case of Mr.. Purcell, OF
Rochester, who resigned his edito-
rial chair rather than support Cleve-
land. They are advertising the fact
that up 10 this time Mr.. Purcell is
the only Democrat of any conss-
qusncS in this great big country
who has gone back on the ticket.

The big managers of the Repub-
liean party have been loafing around
for some time with smIrk of satis-
faction en- their faces, waiting for
the Democratic party to make 3
fool of itself. But the Democratic
party has acted with singular wis
dom, and the look of satisfaction ON
the faces of Mr.. ElkiRs and Mr.. B.

expression of wild-eyed Apprehen>

The cheek of the Republican edi-
tors who are appealing to the Irish
Catholic vote would supply the new
navy, that is to be, with an arma-
ment Of brass guns. These are the
same editsrs who were sgging on
the criminal Know-Nothing crusade
against the Catholic church in the
Ohio campaign in 1875. They are
men who have insultod the Irish
race on every conceivable occasion.

The central idea in this campaign
is that there should be a change in
the Federal Government. The Re-
publican party has now been in
power for twenty-four years. 1t
begins to think that it owns the
earth. 1t must stand aside and give
the Democratic party a chance to
purify this government.

loves the Irishman. Heretofore the
grand old party has hidden this
love, and lot conoealment, like q

covered a citizen, Henry Richards,
who has worked in the mihes'Own-

Italians, and that the pay is from
sixty to sixty-fve cents a day.

A dispatch from Chattanooga to
the Nashville American, dated July
%, says: "Col. E. W. Cole, known
as king Cole, the railroad magnate,
to~day purchased the entire White
side interest on Lookout mountain,
embracing from 400 to 500 acres and
including the Point, the Park, the
Lookout Mountain Hotel property,
the Lookout Mountain turnpike and
all other tracks belonging to the es-
tate. The price is reported to be
$124,0O0. A corps of engineers will
begin work in the morning to make
preliminary surveys for a railroad
to extend from the city to the noun
taintop. Col. Cole states that he will
build railroad similar to the road
up Mt. Washington in the White
mountains. A charter for the rail
road was applied for to-day.
A magnificent hotel will be
built near the point and tower
and elevator also erected there.
1t is reported that Col. Cole also
proposes to endow a university ON
the mountain top, and will make
wonderful improvements every
where, expending from a quarter to
a half million dollars.

THE NEW SOUTH.
What Southern Capital is Doing
Wonderful Growth of
Texas.
NEW INDUSTRIES.

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record thus disposes of the state>
ment that the greater part of the
capital now being invested in South
ern enterprises is furnished by
Northern parties: "One of the most
gratifying features Of Southern pros
gress is the enterprise and push dis
played by Southern men in devel-
oping their country. Take Atlanta,
Birmingham, Chattanooga or An
niston, as an illustration, and an ex-
animation of their growth will show
that it is very largely due to South
ern. men and money. Notwith-
standing the general opinion to the
contrary, Southern cotton mills
have, to very liberal extent, been
built by Southern money, and the
same is true OF saw mills, flour
mills, cotton-seed Oil mills, tobacco
factories and the many other indus
tries that are now so rapidly in
creasing the wealth Of the South.
The New Orleans Times Demo-
crat says: "The growth of that
ysung giant Of the South, Texas,
has never been equaled in this coun-
try. Illinois long enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the NEST rapidly
growing State in the Union. 1t is
true that others, like Colorado and
Kansas, sprang from nothing into
pOpulous States within a very few
years, but into no section or portion
of the country did emigration or
wealth pour as rapidly as into IL
lihois, until Texas took its place at
the head of all the States in its as
tonishing development. In the last
decade the population of the Lone
Star State doubled. How much it
has increased since 1S80it is of course
impossible to say, as we have no re-
liable figures on this point, but the
estimate made by some Texan that
it was growing at the rate Of 2O0,a
600 persons year scarcely appears
to be an exaggeration."

Woman as n Critic OF Beauty.

A woman will crit else before she Rdmirel ,
iml erfeclio,s are to err as pronounced us
reflections; her trained eye instantly detects
whc;- art lss sustained nature. "What c
cumplsx.oni' ejacuiaies the man. Where
does sic get her rouge fromT' queries tho
woman; aud nine times out OF ten In a large
city it is rouge. for rosy cheeks do not bloom
between brick walls; the hot sun is more apt
10 color brown than pink, and the
cold winds OF winter carry roughness
on the r wings Still the woman queries
silently, for to sreak would lay her open to
susliciCn. Finally, It is In the nature OF
things that woman should be a colder and
truer critic Of feminine beauty, for she IL
not blinded or couquere by the powerful
charm aud magnetism Of sex.
AS a rue, AN ugly woman Is a better judge
Of beauty han u lovely one, for The reason
that she has no fixed type in her mini, and
does not begin criticism by an unconscious
comparison Of the criticised with herself
point for point, and yet plain women are
supposed to be full of hatred, envy, males
and unCharitableness toward the lovely of
their sex, though history itself tells US that
the greatest beauties nave always been tbs
bitterest haters.
1t has become almost an axiom that no
woman likes to hear another praised, or can
be made to acknowledge her beauty. In ev-
cry part OF the world, ! have no doubt, can
be found s~mall.minded, small-,Uuled. envious
women, who decry tine great gift OF beauty,
stigmatizs it as skin-deep, and IL their jeal-
ousy were touched, would willingly vilriol
its owner; but altogether they form but q
small proportion of their sex, the rest Of
whom, / honestly believe. are quick to ro-
cogn.ze, appreciate and pay homage to
beauty wherever they find 1t.

There Is a reaction this season 10 favor of
the shade bonnet. We have had shade hats
for so many years nat we have almost for
gotten that there were such things as shade
bonnets, or how pretty our grandmothers
locke l in their draw bonnets OF white mus
iins with poke brims, just such as ara worn
by the little girls, and as shade bounets To-
day. Shade hats, In the proper ncceptati7n
of the term, have been about exhausted. We
have had them of all kinds and sizsa There
are still some elegant leghorns with wide,
flexible bfims, which never go out of fashion
which. garnitured with lace AMI velvet and
roses, remind one Of pictures in the gallery
OF the Louvre, and are always adapted and
fashionable for piqlaut aud beautiful faces
with a spice of coquetry in their richness.
Blu every one cannot compass these; be-
sides, We tire Of one point of view. no matter
how pretty or attractive, aud 50 we have
travelled from FloridiaR palme,tos u heavy
English Dunstables, the weight of which has
been emphasized by interior or exterior trim
ming OF velvet and feathers, Of buckles and
metal pins, until tho comfort OF shade was
lost in the burden of weight The light bon
nets Of white muslin are a very pleasant In
noyation, their weight is nil, they are quaint
and pretty, and when with muslin strings be-
coming To old and young. Large hats are
made OF muslin, as well as muslin bounetsr
white roses, apple blossoms, and tho like
forming the decoration, but the bonnets lonk
nicer and more in accordance with the
"Reminiscences style OF the season. Some
pretty bonnets, not intended for shade, but
for church wear, are of Engl sh straw, with
two puffs of black velvet upon the brim, and
q trimming formed of fo,ds Of black velvet
studded with straw buttons The additional
garniture consists OF a spray Of wild roses.

IllIteracy In Massachusetts,.

= hSAAA E"N ~ ARA
Massachusetts is becoming somewhat
alarmed at the growth of illiteracy, as she
may well be. The last census showed
that there was in the State 1896 persons
above the age of 10 who could not read,
being SO per sent of all persons above
that age, a proportion which is exceeded
by no other Eastern State except Rhode
Island. The last Legislature passed a
law which it is hoped will tend to check
the advance of this percentage. II pro-
vides that any person who employs a
minor IA years of age who can not read
and write shall forfeit from 500 to $50,
and that any person who employs q minor
oven IA years of age who can not read and
write, providing such minor has been for
u year a resident of a city or town
wherein free evening schools are main
tanned, shall forfeit from $50 to 500 for
every such o~ffense, to go to the benefit of
the evening schools.
