An Hsx.Pslicezazn sIaet and EEis
Murtaarar. NNnnged.

About s o'clock Sunday evening,
Charley Williams, desperate negro,
shot and killed ex-policeman Polk
Mitchell, who was u street car driver.
The negro took his stand on the plat
form smoking cigar. The driver
told him he was violating the rules of
the company and forced him to get
of. Tho negro waited for Mitchell to
return, when he went up and fred
upon him Eve times, killing him in
stantly. Williams tried to make his
escape, but was arrested and sent TO
jail About IL o'clock an Infatuated
mob broke open the Jail, went to his
cell, took him out and after tying
heavy stones to his feet, hung him in
the building, Two companies Of mi
litia we're called out, but failed to re-
pulse the mob. The only substantial
resistance was the locks OF the outer
door, which were overcome with the
sledge.hammers, and the tradegy was
soon over.
The failure OF the Knoxville mob to
hang Lee Sellers, owing to his agility
in climbing the rope, which had been
fastened to his neck, doubtless sug-
geste6 to the Chattanoogans the idea
of fastening stones to the ankles Of
their wretched victim.
In the melee which ensued before
the hanging, VIM. Nanny, q book
keeper for Kindrick Brothers, was
shot and seriously nounded. We
have since learned that he died. An
old Niger named Ben Palmer, wat
also shot and seriously wounded. Il
was rumored on the streets that he il
also dead, Another Niger named
Alfred Pitner, was shot in the arm
and hand and John Bailey was bayo
netted in the back, but not seriously
hurt.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. THE city is

1--WE Conventions.

Some Of our Democratic friends
complain that those who advocate two
conventions fail to give any good rea-
son for the faith that Is in them.
The makers OF our. state constitution
thought it best tohavc the election OF
Judges and Chancellors separate and
apart from the election al a Governor
and Congressman. They therefore
provided that Judges should be elect,
ed in August and a Governor and
Congressman in November. If there
is good reason for separating the cleo
ton OF Judges and Governor and
Congressman, there is equal good rea'
son for keeping separate the conven'
tions that nominate candidates fol
these Offices.

He was appointed about three weeks

against him, we understand, is that
he was engaged in whipping q South
ern Methodist preacher just after the
war. 1t is but justice to DR.. Alexan-
der to say that he denies the charge.
He admits that he heard the the par

that he even got down off OF his horse

How an Atlanta Wo-
man was made to
see and hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs. George
Fickland, Al McAfee Street, Atlanta, Ga, and
from her own lips a Constitution reporter learn
ed the following appalling story:
seAeral months ago she became almost total
ly blind and deaf, and could not taste anything
except salt. Her bones became the seat of
intense pain, her joints were swollen and pain
full, and eventually her whole body and limbs
became covered with splotches and small sores.
Her appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh
and strength and had butlitte use Of herself, as
her limbs and muscles were paralyzed. She, as
well as her friends and those with whom she
lived, desdaired other recovery, Her sufferings
combined with loss Of hearing and taste, and
blindness, were truly heartrendipg.
All treatment from physicians and the use of
medicines seemed powerless. Her disease was
blood poison ana rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the repor-
ter asked what wrought such wonderful
| change.
Il used medicine recommended by friend,
she replied, "and kbefore one bottle had been
taken began to see and hear. The second bot
tie relieved all rheumatic pains and improved

The Hon. ]. B. Foraker opened the
republican campaign in Ohio yester-
day with apyrotechnic display worthy
Of the occasion. 1t was a success in
every way except in the presentation
OF facts. 1t was listened to with pro-
found attention by those who like to
have the facts distorted in just. that
way,
The chief difficulty with the speech
is that it proves too much. In the
first place, the record Of the republi.
can party is 50 bright that the con
oscillations Of heaven are mere penny
dips in comparison. In the second
place, the democratic party is TO be-
execrated and blotted out OF existence
and few other disagreeable things
done to it because it has lost the re-
spect of the country.
And yet the intelligent American
people, who knew all these things, call
cd the democratic party into power
because they somehow got the impress
sion that it was the republican part,
which was corrupt. There is evident
