A COWARDLY' DEED.

A Negro Hired to Commit Murder ar.
Then MortalIy Wounded by a Mob Led on
by His EmplOyers-The Negro Lives Long
Enough to Tell the Truth.
NEW ORLEANS, La, October IA.
A tragedy, original in It's nature
occurred at ELllsville, Miss, forty miles
fr, m here yesterday. Depu y Sheriff
Robert T. Snipes, Jacob George, tele-
graph operator, and two or three others,
broke into the County Jail and offered a
negro prisoner his liberty on condition
that he would kill DR.. Schumacher, a
druggist The negro agreed to the
terms, and calling the doctor out, shot
him, inflcting a desperate wound. The
citizens were very indignant, and the in
stigatoTs of the crime, in order to remove
the witness and work upon the feelings
OF the people, organized a mob who fred
a vOlley into the negro, inficting fatal
wounds. Before death he made a full
confession. Suspecting that this might
happen, the criminals slipped from the
crowd and boarded train for this city.
The police have been furnished descrip
tions of the fugitives, and may effect
their capture. Should they be returned
to Ellisville, the same mob that shot the
negro is prepared to receive them.

CORRESPONDENCE
WANTS THE WATER PEOPLE
To Take Their Own Medicine.

FRosTBURG, Oct. 9, 1884.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Seeing articles in your paper from
week to week for some time urging the
Importance of our corporation taking
in charge the construction Of Water
Works, and your figures, if accurate,
seem to be more encouraging in your
later than former issues, although none
of them discolraging, desire to say if
it is going to be such paying invest
ment I have no doubt if you and others
who believe in the enterprise will guar
antee according to your figures, there
are certainly men who have money to
loan who will be glad of the opportu-
nifty to invest Of their free-will, with
out compelling men to take an interest
in such an enterprise against their in
clinations, because they may own
property within the corporate limits.
However much we may need and desire
better supply of water, if the present
company is unwilling or unable to in
crease it, if / understand, they are
willing to sell some of their stock or all
of it, here is a rare chance for those
who have faith in the enterprise--either
invest in part Of the stock or purchase
the whole plant; then they may, if they
think proper, increase the supply and
have the business entirely under their
own control without being found fault
with. |, for one, cannot submit to be
forced into such a measure without my
earnest protest against it.

Letter from Rev. ID. ID. Jenkins.

WHITES VALLEY, Pa. Sept %, 1884.
To the MINING JOURNAL
Had I been able l would have ad-
dressed few lines to the JOURNAL
and its friends long before this time.
But the state of my health did not al
low it until now. Nor may at pres
ent promise anything like an extended
letter. When requested you to for
ward the JOURNAL to this place had
not the least expectation that would
be compelled to be absent from my
home on the delectable mountains so
long. 1t was my expectation then to
return when the genial spring would
be found melting into summer. But
summer has passed away; autumn has
come and good portion of it has al
ready disappeared and | am still I'M
prepared to resume my public duties.
The summer has been to me a very
long one, and I am deliberate when |
pronounce it the saddest of my life. l
have never read nor thought so little
since | have been able to read and
think at all. In some instances | have
suffered intensely, and for the full and
adequate expression of the pain have
endured l can find no suitable Ian
guage. One skilful physician attempted
to describe it by employing the term
which has always been regarded as the
strongest, the most expressive of suf-
fering in the English language, but
unavailingly.
All my friends will be glad to learn
that the state of my health at this
writing is greatly improved. | have
gained in strength and my temperature
IS much more favorable. But there
are evidences enough that the seeds of
my trouble are still in my system.
While this is the case am liable to be
Frustrated at any time.
You must not infer from this that |
am in despair; rather regard me as
confident that a complete restoration
awaits me in the future. In few
days | shall visit the Sanitorium of
Danville, N. Y. A number of indi-
viduals Of good judgment have recon-
mended this place very highly and
prophesy a speedy restoration after a
visit there. If you promise to keep
the cover secure enough on the waste
basket, l may be able to send your
readers some facts of interest from this
famous institution.
The JOURNAL has informed me of
the marriage of several friends in
Frostburg. l wish them all much joy
in their new relations. 1t has also
brought sad news in regard to the ac-
cidents which befel some and the be-
reavement of other friends. My ten
derest sympathies go forth to these.
Allow nae, before closing my letter,
to tender to my ministerial brethren
and my friends in the different
churches at home my kindest regards.
Especially would remember affection
ately and prayerfully all the members
of my own church and congregation.
Very respectfully, D. ID. JENKINS.

be a much poorer man than he is.
And if the Water Company had per-
permitted the Steyer stock, for in
stance, to 60 into other hands their
claim Of having stock to sell could
be allowed.
We had ascertained that the no
water people had not solitary sub
stantial argument, and this letter,
although from an esteemed gentle

The town has not yet felt the i'll
effects of the water drought. Wait

and development of the seed sown in

say right here, solemnly as possible,
that the voter who, after casting his
suffrage against the Water Bond

or kindred disease, should not be al
lowed to charge his misfortune to an
''inscrutable dispensation of Prov

IT is the chief mission of great
family newspaper, such as the JouRN-
AL, to caution the world and the peo-
pie thereof against the error of too
much precipitation. In pursuance
of this noble duty and under the fear
of ill-advised action at the critical
moment, we charge the people of
Frostburg who will vote against
WaterWorks to exercise that sovereign
act with great deliberation. The is
sue is between a great step forward
and long one backward.
