GEORGIA LYNCHING.
How Body of Masked Men Treated a
Terror of the NeighbOrhoOd.

SAVANNAH, GA, September IL
Three weeks ago, during the absence OF
her husband, Mrs. Thomas Willis was as
saulted in her house in Rogers, on the
Central Railroad, by negro. Mrs. Willis
defended herself 9Th gun, which she
used as q club, but was on the point OF
being oyerpOwered when a colored girl,
armed with IN ax, rushed to her aSsis-
tance, dealing the aSsailant several blows
on the head The two woman, after a
desperate struggle, put the negro to flight.
As he ran he seized the gun and fired,
but the shot failed TO do any harm,
and he escaped, carrying the gun
with him. On Tuesday afternoon Ed
ware Feye saw negro named Wilker-
son with 4 gun at No. 4! on the Gem
trail Railroad, which answered the de-
scriptiOn OF the weapon carried of by
Mrs. Willis aSSailant. The negro was ar
rested, but denied all knowledge OF the
Willis outrage. 1t was decided to send
him to Millen for safe keeping. On his
arrival at the depot there, he was recOg-
nized by 4 lad named BrinsOn Us the ne
gro who had outraged his sister, aged III
years, near Millcn, a year ago, the negro
having sprung from a thicket by the
roadside as the children were go
ing to scho0l.--and dragged ,sstke
girl into the woods The ghl
was sent for, and on seeing the negro,
identified him and fell in fainting tit. 1t
was loregoBe conclusion that lynching
would follow, and an extra strong guard
was placed about the Jail last night to pre-
vent it ifpOSSible The prisoner confessed
his guilt in the BrinSOn case, and said that
he had obtained the gun which led to his
arrest from negro named Berry Wigs.
WiggS, who bears bad reputation, was
working in the cotton fields about Mlllen
when WilkerSOn was arrested, but on hear
ing of the charge against Wilkerson, i'm
mcdiately disappeared, and has lot been
seen since. Other links in this chain ofevi-
dence leave no doubt that Wigs is guilty
of the Willis assault, and posses of citi-
zens are securing the country in search of
him. This morning WilkerSOn was sent
to Sylvania to be lodged in Jail there rs II
better precautiOn against lynch law. This
move had been anticipated, however, and
aS WilkerSOn was proceeding across the
country. guarded by the officers, they
were met by Il band OF fifty masked and
well-armcd men three miles from Millen.
Having obtained possession OF the prison
er, they hanged him to tree near the
scene OF his crime and riddled his body
with bullets 4 similar fate is in store
for Wigs when captured.

ToLoNo, ILL.,, Sept IA terrific cyclone
swept over this place at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The storm cloud came up from
the southwest and approached so rapidly

its fury, creating destruction and consterna-
tion in It's wake. The steeple Of the Catholic
church had been undergoing repairs, and the
men working 100 feet above the ground had
barely time to descend when the Scaffold was
caught up by the wind and crushed into
kindling woUd, the fragments being scattered
about for more than 100 rods. The storm
carried away the east end of Neus' livery
stable and part Of the roof. Some of the
timberS from this building were carried an
entire block and hurled. through the side Of
Herald Office, 800 feet away.
At Savoy, a small station five miles north
of here the new NJ. E. church which was
just being completed was totally demolished.
and a large barn was completely wrecked.

ton be taken relative To u change of hours
At present the hours are from $50 u. m.

vantage of being in harmony with those OF
other impOrtont exchanges in New York
