CHATTANOOGA, January 13.-A
special to the Times from Coliersville
gives fuller details Of the terrible
Alabama cyclone. About four miles
west or CoilinsYille the residence of
Noble Galbraith, with all his farm
houses, located at Bozard Mountain,
was completely demolished. His
younges5 child " as instantly killed by
flying timbers. Its body was terribly
mangIed. A young man living with
the family was seriously and probably
fatally wounded. The family had re-
tired about an hour before. No other
member of the family received any
injury. Every article Of household
goods was blown away, not leaving
wearing apparel for the grief stricken
family. 1t is reported from good,
authority, that an anvil il a black
smith shop near by was blown one
hundred yards. Great damage was
done to other property in the neigh
borhood iB reported. Three miles fur
ther off two other residences were
completely blown away. In one of
them there were thirteen occupants,
all of whom received more or less in
jury, but none as yet reported fatal.
Great damage to farm property.
Owing to high water 1t is Impossible to
obtain accurate information as to the
true extent and injury of the cyclone,
but enough is known to report that,
while. it was fearfuny disastrous, it is
by no means such a terrible scours as
the famous cyclone which passed
through Cherokee and Calhoun coun-
ties.
Last night. and during all yesterday,
and the greater of to-day, tremend-
Gus heavy rain fell, flooding the
streams and lowlands and making it
almost impossible to ira vel and gain
further information. The fearful
cloud which accompanied the cyclone
was seen from here, and looked hide
Gus indeed. There was a continuous
roaring in the elements like distant
thunder fer thirty minutes before the
wind passed One family became
before the tempest ap
preached and ran to neighboriDg
house short distance away, which
was blown away, while their own
house, from which they had fed, re-
mained standing. The track of the
cyclone was about two hundred yards

CINCINNATI, January 10.-The tes-
timony before the Springer investiga-
ting committee this morning was of
the same general character as that al
ready given. Edgar M. johnson, the
law partner Of Gov. Hoadley, testified
to scenes in the United States court
room similar TO that mentioned by

val.
Mr.. Bush, of Winchester, Ken

In the city and about the polls.
FL. F. Farney, artist, went to the
u. s. court room and visited some
of the polling places. He anticipa-
ted a serious riot, and was ex-
pecting to make sketches for east
ern publication, but the sketches
were not ordered.
NC. Caldwell, smoke inspector, ,teSti-
fed to having seen an unusual number
Of strange negroes in the city several
days prior to the October election.
The number was remarkable; saw
men on the streets apparently taking
lists of names of Colored men, and
saw prominent republicans talking
with colored men; was lot afraid 10
vote, but his family urged him not TO
go to the polls: saw deputy marshals
holding republican tickets.
On cross-examination witness said
he knew there was a colored Odd Fell

DALLAS, January l3.-John SeigeI.
twelve years old, while playing with
some other boys, to day, had his right
leg fractured. The bones were shat
tered, and it is feared amputation Will
be necessary.
w. J. Church was arrested to-day,
charged with embezzling musket,
the property of the state of Texas,
from the armory Of the Lamar Rifles.
Church was formerly a member of the
company. To-day military officer
found the gun in a pawnshop, where
Church had pledged it. The grand
jury is investigating the case.
A band of fire-bugs appears to be
working Dallas. An incendiary torch
was applied to the fine residence of
Mrs. Anna Spruel, corner of Houston
and Columbia streets, at 2:30 o'clock
this morning, and was under good
headway when neighbor discovered
the flames. Mrs. Spruell and her
children were asleep in the house and
in a few minutes longer would proba-
bly, have been cremated. A back door
Of the kitchen had been pried open by
the incendiary. The house was only
partially destroyed.
The laboratory of Hughes Bros. &
Co.'S manufactorJ, opposite the city
park, was also fired about the same
hour, but was discovered in time to

erals Health.
NEW YORK, January 13.-Gen.
Grants physicians said ilast night in
response to inquiries in regard to the
generals health: "Gen. Grant con-
suited me early in the autumn about
pain in the side of the tongue which
rendered it painful for him to artic-
ulate and masticate his food. The
general smoked cigars largely. This
seemed to irritats the tongue. We
restricted him to three cigars day
and he stopped smoking of his own
accord. Very remarkably, this change
was not followed by any disturbance
of the nervous system, or general irri-
tation. He is improved locally, able
to speak without pain, and his general
appearance is improved in every re-
spect. He is now occupied several
hours day in literary work which he
seems to enjoy. think he is in bet
ter health than he has been since his
accident year ago. He is still lame
from injury to the thigh, which has
left great tenderness. He is unable to
walk on account of pain and feeble
ness, without the aid of crutch or
stick. There is nothing that would
justify the assertion that heis severe
ly Ill, and he is not in q cordial
condition"

ASSASSINATION.
A Witness Who Knew too Much Foully
Murdered i1 Wilb arger County.

HENRIETTA, TEXAS, January IA
The following from Vernon, county
seat Of Wilbarger county, in the Pan
handle, has Just been received, dated
January IL. One of the most cruel
assassinations ever perpetrated in q
civilized community was committed
here about 10 o'clock this morning
Hellis Jones was cruelty murdered
about one hundred and fifty yards from
the court house. He was one Of seven
persons recently arrested, charged
with burning J. P. Wilson's livery
stable, but was discharged. While
drunk yesterday he said that he knew
a great deal that he did not tell upon
the examining trial, but he would
make it known at the proper time.
The parties who did the shooting es-
capped in the darkness. They are sup
posed to be incendiaries, and did the
killing to avoid exposure. Jones was
shot six times; two shots were fired
into him after he fell, as his body was
powder burned. He leaves family
and five children. The. coroner's jury
returned . verdict which has not
been made public. Great excitement
prevails, and arrests OF prominent
persons are anticipated.

GREENVILLE, January 12.-f Or the
first time in ten years, and the second
in the history of Greeenville, enraged
citizens have taken the law into their
own hands and administered justice
by lynching. rhom.S Peddy, the negro
who attempted to rape Mrs. Webb, Sat-
urday night, was worked off last night.
M. Hale, sererlff, N. A. Anderson, city
Marshal Simons, a deputy, and Jailer
Adair stood guard in the jail. Soon
after night ladders were placed against
the Jail fence and were thrown down
by officers. Later, two bodies of over
100 masked men each, armed with
guns and pistols. approached the jail
and demanded admittance, WhichIWas
refused by the jailer. The leader
stated they wanted the negro, and
should have him if they had to burn
the iail. and ordered those carrying
guns to the front. Axes were
brought and soon the gate
chains were cut. The jailer seeing
further resistance useless, and wishing
to protect the other seventeen persons,
agreed to let five men In to get the
negro, who was brought out and car
ried off by the party. They marched
him half a mile from town and hung
him to a tree, with a grass rope. One
negro in the party helped to pull the
rope. Peddy, before he was taken
from Jail, made a full confession to
the taller.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Meeting Of BOndh0lderS held in
New York OA Saturday.

(From Galveston NeWs.l
NEW YORK, January 10.-A very
large meeting Of Houston and Texas
Central bondholders was held in the
Mills building this afternoon, several
millions of bonds being represented.
Ex-President Lawrence, of the Stock
exchange, occupied the chair. 1t was
claimed that the mortgages were
drawn in the strongest possible man
ner for the protection of bondholders,
and in the case of first mortgage any
bondholder or coupoaholders, on sixty
days default, could demand the
delivery of the road into the
hands Of trustees, Those who had
not sold their coupons to the South
ern Development company still pre-
served their rights, and could act
for all the bondholders. If there
was to be a contest between stock
and bondholdeftl who applied for
reason of default, it WAS stated by
the representative of the Southern
Development company that the di-
vision of territory In Texas had
prevented the paying of the pres
ent rate OF interest, but the road
could probably pay four or five per
cent. if the creditors chose to deal
with the Southerd Development COM
pany.
1t was thought probable by one of
the speakers that in the several trans
mutations of property in past years
the interest of bondholders had been
overlooked.
Another speaker alluded to S4 100000
of bonds that would not take action
until the result of this meeting was
known. The charge was made that
the two per cent per annum from the
sale of lands hsdno been set aside for
a sinking fund, and creditors had not
been advised of ire condition of the
road, as they were entitled to be. Vast
sums received from the sales of laud
were also unaccaunted for.
On motion the chairman announced
a committee OF five to notify the trus-
tees that the rosd is ia default and to
reqHest the trustees to give. the requi-
site notice to the railroad company
The committee will also inquire into
the condition Of tho property and re
commend course of procedure fol
the protection of bondholders.
