AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

A Party of Negroes Engage in a Fight
which Ends in the Death of One Of
Them.
ATLANTA, GA, June 21.-At a late hour
last night party Of negroes near the
terra-cOtta works entertained themselves
with a lively row, in which one of the
number, Frank Ellington, was hit on the
back of the head with a rock and knocked
down. An examination of his injuries
developed the fact that his skull was
badly crushed in. He was brought to the
city, where he remained alive until to-
night, when he died. Ellington gave it
out that William Baldwin was the man
whostruck him. Baldwin was arrested this
morning. and another negro by the name
OF Proctor, who was in the party. was
arrested this afternoon. Baldwin denies
the charge, but rather intimates that he
was connected with the affair by saying
that Proctor WAS as much into it as he
was Ellington was a hack-driver, and
was well thought of. An inquest is to be
held tomorrow.
