went to Hobbs house with the
intention of linching the two murder
ers. The latter were appraised of the
movement of the mob and fed to the
woods. The pursures were on horse
back, but were compelled to abandon
their horses and give chase on foot.
The mob was composed of about one
hundred men, who were determend
to DAIRY out their intention. The
two murderers were finely found, and
then a wild chase took place, the
posse running and yelling, jumping
over fencesf and following them
through fields. When the posse
came npon the murderers thep turned
and showed fight, but strong hands
soon overpowered them. Two stall
wart men stepped forward with ropes
quickly tied them around the necks
of the two victims and threw the end
over projecting limb. without
futher ceremony the two men were
swung to the night breaze. The
rope were fastened tight to the tree.
The mob drew their reyolvers and
riddled the bodies of the linched men
with bullets. A faud had existed
between Waller and Hobbs for a
long time, and Hobbs squared it by
murdring Waller and also an innocent
man. Hobbs and his son hab the
reputation of being hard citizens.

Torn Away by "a Waterspout.

RIcHIoSD, August 1I.--Last night
there was a terrific rain storm on tho
line of the Pittsburg and Weldon
Railroad During the storm a water
spout passed over and burst as it
reached the railroad at Otter Dam
creek, the immense volume of water
sweeping away long stretch Of track
and the stone abutments of the iron
bridge spanning the creek. This
morning the through train from the
South dashed into the wash-out, car
rying down the engine and several
cars. The first report was that the
engineer, fireman and brakeman had
been killed, but later information
proved that the engineer escaped
with few bruises and no other per
son was hurt. In consequence Of the
wash-out, trains from the South were
delayed. There were no traing over
this road to-day further south than
Petersburg. It is expected that the
road will be clear tonight.
Later advices from the accident on
the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad,
at Otter Dam Creek, report that two
colored train hands are missing, and
it is thought that their bodies are
buried beneath the wreck Of cars in
the creek.
