PARIS, Nov. 7.-lSpeclal.l Pursuant
to call by tho mayor, public meeting

some steps to secure the arrest OF the
murderer of James III. Black. Over 900
mon were in attendance, and 81, 500 was
raised In n moment. Besides this 81, 500
has been raised in Lamar county. Res
olutions were adopted appointing J. G.
Hodges, John Millsap aud VIM. Roland
committee to take charge OF the funds
and assist the officers to ferret out the
criminal. No crime aver committed in
Lamar county has created such excite
m.nt. Tho governor has been tele-
graphed to to offer reward in addition
to that offered by Lamar county. He
has not vet been heard from. There Is
as yet absolutely no clue to the murderer
known to the public.
FULLER REPORT OF THE CRIME.
News ,mes to Paris, from Blossom
Prairie, a little town ten miles east OF
here, Of the dastardly murder Of James
III. Black, the recently elected sheriff OF
this county. No particulars have yet
been learned, further than that about 7
o'clock last night SONS one rode up to
Blacks house and called out to
him to come to the door. He did
both barrels OF u shotgun loaded with
buckshot into his body. Eighteen shots
took effect, killing him instantly. There
Is no clue whatever to tho murde or.
1t is supposed by some however
that the murder was the work Of some
Guteau-like crank, as there had been
more than the usual amount of feeling
engendered by his race for sheriff. The
excitement in Paris Is intense. A num-

LOOK oUr ron FIRES.
wsrsisg Against Attempted Dsstruetisn
Of the Public Records.

wAsuINoroS, Nov. 1.-THE Washing
ton Sentinel has tho following in this
weeks Issue, under this heading, "Look
Out for Fires:'
When the election OF Mr.. Tildcn was
certain, In ls76,th old navy department
WAS set on fire three times In six weeks.
Secor Robertson WAS then secretary, and
his records were very unsavorv. These
fires were not accidental. They were
the work of incendlarles. The election
of Gr YER Cleveland means plainly the
public books must bs subjected To q
strict examination and tho accounts
must be- turned inside out. The country
Is entitled 10 know why the great ledg-
ers and other books were altered, mutt
lated and are disiigured with thousands
of crasures, scratches and other marks
or Intentional wrong; why balances or
many millions were forced; why the
book keeping of Alexander Hamilton
was thrus, aside after eighty
years OF continued acceptance; why the
public debt statement was changed by
hundreds OF millions. Some urgent,
strange and unexplained cause mus.
havs operated to induce these eItraor-
binary changes.
To corER THE STEALING.
ID il believed the motive was to con.
ssal the immense stealing and frauds OF
Republican leaders during and after the
civil war, who suddenly became million
aires. In any event tho people want the
books explored and to get ~ tho bottom
facts, whatever they may be.
On the other hand, the Republicans
want their secrets kept from public view.
They are desperate enough to adopt any
means for this end. They have no scru-
plies, and they have reckless tools in office
who are ready for the worst work.
Hence We give the warning to look for
spies in the public departments. Be
prepared for tho destruction of books
and papers. Be vigilsnt.--INsw York
Herald.

The name of Daniel F. Beatty, of
Washington, New Jersey, is tolera-
BILE well known to the majority of
the people of the United States in
connection with the manufacture
and sale of musical instruments.
By liberal and wide-spreading ad-
vertising, and by dealing dir; c,
with the purchaser. he built up
most extensive business in organs and
pianos. 1t was his ambition to erect
and own the largest organ factory
in the world, and he succeeded in
so doing. But the hindrances and
losses incident to a disastrous fire
in 1881, and the want of adequate
capital, combined with lack of
business method, led to a serious
ENHANCEMENT in his affairs. Al
though he made and sold over seven
teen thousand (l7,OOO) organs last
year his embarrassments, which
dated their origin years before, be-
came so serious that he finally sold
his business to corporation COM
posed of his creditors. 1t is under
stood that this company, with ample
capital, has undertaken to make
good as far as possible all the
obligations of Mr.. Beatty, giving
preference to the purchasers of or
gans and pianos whose goods are
still undelivered, and to whom it
is shipping daily instruments. The
company is under the presidency Of
Mr.. l. W. England, of New York,
his manager being Mr.. W. 2. Had
wen; and the gentlemen composin,
the directors and stockholders ar,
among the best known and most
responsible business men in the
country. All new orders, we aro
assured, are filled on receipt with
instruments of the best quality;
while arrearages are being manu-
facturel and shipped at the rate of
not less than 100 a week. On sue,
a basis, supplying superior article
at a moderate price, free of agents
commissions, the new concern ought
to achieve a great success.-Lts-
lies III. Newspaper.
