GRlFFINs DEMON.
Fuller Particulars of His Muir derous
Woek in the City.


GRIFFIN, GA. April 17.-The colored man
and woman who were shot Saturday night
by Frank Ison were buried Monday. The
excitement among the colored people ran
very high yesterday, and during the day
hundreds viewed tue remains. The crowd
at the woman's house during the Coroner's
inquest was estimated at 500.
Frank Ison lives on a farm about two
miles out from this city, and when sober he
is an industrious, generous, kind-hearted
man. But when under the influence of
liquor he IS a very bad man. He came into
the city Saturday afternoon and filled him
self with mean whisky BY INghtfall he
was completely under It's Influence. He be-
came very Overlooking and offered insults
to number of white men. EARLY in the
evening he knocked a negro down on Hill
street and was arrested by the police, but
was released on $50 bond. His arrest only
excited him the more, and on being re-
leased he procurea pistol and Winchester
repeating rifle and started out to seek ven
geance on defenseless citizens for his arrest.
HIS NUMEROUS WORK.
Passing out Taylor street he broke a
street lamp and awakened the whole street
by his rapid firing AT the extreme end of
that street, and just opposite Col j. d.
Boyd's, there lived negro woman named
Susan Cotton. Ison attacked this house
and fired sixteen rounds of his rifle into the
door and windows. The woman was struck
in the hip by ball, which passed entirely
through her body and lodged in the wall,
from the effect of which she died yesterday
morning. A negro man living on an adj
joining lot, hearing the firing and the
wOman's cries, went to her help, and find
ing her wounded, started for the doctor.
fson saw him go into the house and over
hearing their conversation, pursued the
man. After they had gone three blocks,
lson fired, striking him in the thigh.
VAIN PLEADING FOR MERCY.
The man continued running for two
blocks, when he fell. Ison coming up, de-
iberately fired into his body twice, notwith-
standing his piteous cries for mercy. The
negro was held in high esteem by both
white and colored, aud was regarded as a
quiet man. Ison then returned to Hill
street, and created great excitement by his
rife Shots On the way back to town he
fired at several citizens as they were return
ing home and broke several lamps on Pop
lar street. He pursued George Dickinson
several blocks and fired three shots after
him.
Being wholly under the influence of
whisky, and having shed human blood, he
became uncomfortable, and no one could
have appeared on the streets except at the
risk of his life, so he made his escape with
out arrest and is yet at large.

the Following spring but by that time the increase
In imports, both Of wool and of goods, felt
severely, and the number OF sheep and the clip
or wool began TO decline. Taking the Bureau
estimate for 1887, the decline in clip has already
been fCrty-hrec million pounds or IA per cent
but In fact IL has been greater by this time be-
cause further decrease has taken place, accord
ing to all accounts, in the number of sheep

other hand, the manufacture deluged with
supplies Of foreign WOOL cheap and, owing TO
enormous frauds, almost duty free Then il
paused In its advance, began to decline Just when,

Such have been the fruits of Protection. What
has Free Trade done for wool growers and wool
manufacturers during the same years in Great
Britain? 1t seems an audacious challenge for the
young David OF Protection. armed only with a
few legislative pebbles to defy the Goliath Of Free
Trade in the very land where this industry, after
many years Of careful training behind protective
defences, had grown mighty enough to overpower
all the world, had accumulated the largest capital

sheep peculiarly adapted to its needs, had sent
navies and armies to conquer and subdue distant
regions, and had transported to Australasia and
the Cape nation of emigrants to grow cheap wool
on cheap land and in fayoring climates. But the
challenge goes: what has Free Trade done even
In Great Britain?
The first Of the following tables includes the
wool OF sheep and lambs. of the alpaca and OF
goats, for the years 1S67-lss7 inclusive, the
figures being taken from British Board OF Trade
reports. Including goats WOOL as British trade
journals proprly do, it differs from the tables
given by MIR. Switzler, but for previous years the
figures given for imports being taken in part from
his tables and In part from other sources, do not
include goats wool. of which the quantity i'm
