EDrron CRiTIc: While thinking that
the protest of J. ". 7. in your to-day'S is
sue against the removal of Jackson's
statue from Lafayette Square to make
room for anybody is entirely superiluous,
for no really sane man would advocate
such removal and il is certain no Ameri-
can Congress would ever sanction IL, his
proposal to place the Lafayette statue in
Judiciary Square suggests reflections.
Not that the writer disagrees with your
correspondent in thinking either that
judiciary Square ought to have statues Of
great historic men, or that Lafayette Is
entitled to one of the most prominent
positions in the Capital of the Republic
And would suggest place for him in
one of the most public spots on the great
artery of the Capital-Pennsylyania ave-
nue., corner of Seventh or Ninth streets,
or at the extreme southwest corner or La

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BEoKv1LLE, February ss2S.-About noon
yesterday, Tom Forsyth, son of the sheriff
of Pamela county, was arrested for the
murder of County Treasurer Hill, on the
10th inst. Young Forsyth has been under
suspicion sin oe his finding the sack of sill
yer near the yard of the negro barber
Tibbett, and has been under close sur
vG:!snce since. When arrested, he
endesvored to throw the crime
on Tibbett. Immediately afterward
he weakened, saying "no, he was innocent;
no one had anything to do with it but my
SELF" He confessed that he committed the
murder while court was adjourned for
dinner. The details of the confession are
horrible in the last degree. The widow of
the murdered treasurer has lost her mind,
and the mother of Young Forsyth fell in
the street upon hearing the crowd
crying out that her son was
making a confession. Two of
the best women in the coun-
try are are thus plunged into
living death and numerous relatives
throughout the county are worse than
horror stricken. Forsyth is but 20, and
does not look like william. All but 800
of the money has been recovered Being
so far from telegraphic facilities makes it
impossible to get particulars.

TExARKANA, February 28.-The South

in session, and delegates continued to ar
rive during the day. The result of their
deliberations have not been made public,
but it is supposed the meeting will ad-
journ tomorrow, when their action on
important points under discussion will
become known.
Last night colored man named Henry
Parker was detected stealing hat from
store on the east side, and in attempt-
ing to escape was shot and badly
wounded by Policeman Gee. 1t is said
that the thief finding he was about to be
overtaken by the officer turned and at
tempted to draw pistol, but the officer
got the drop and inflicted fatal wound.
The colored school teacher Dolan, who
was arrested short time ago, charged
with forging a Miller. county school
voucher to the amount of several hundred
dollars, turned out to be the same man
who is wanted in Harrison county to
answer for similar offences committed at
Marshall three years ago. Dolan will first
answer the demand of Arkansas and then
be turned over to Texas.

of that city, is on his way to Fort Worth
with w. L. Beeson, who is charged with
several crimes, among them the bloody
murder of Miss Watkins, at Gainesville,
last summer, which attracted attention all
over the country. The city marshal has
information to the effect that Beeson
told relative in Southern Tex
as of the killing and the
wounding of Miss Bostick at the same
time. Beeson claims that neither murder
outrage or rape was his intention. He
was bent on robbery. The young ladies
were up and screamed, when, for self pre-
servation, he killed one and quieted the
other with a deadly hatchet. Beeson
claims he has been out of Texas for
eleven months, but the officers say they
have positive proof that such is not the
case. Beeson bora hard reputation in
Mississippi. From all that can be learned
Beeson was alone in his crime.

A Negro Cabin Fired and the Occupants
Shot Down.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Houston, February 28.-News was re-
ceived in this city this evening of tho
most horrible crime which has ever been
perpetrated in this section, of the state.
The bloody tragedy was enacted at a set
Element known as Spanish Camp, Wdar-
ton connty, about 60 miles west of this
city. Spanish Camp is composed OF
Mexicans, negroes and desperate whites,
and is remote from railroads aud
telegraph lines, and on this account
only meagre accounts are obtainebie.
Sunday morning at Cookbook negro cabin
was set fire, and the occupants brutally
shot down as they ran half naked ftom
the burning house. Five were killed out
right and one seriously wounded. Two
Mexicans were shot in the house and their
bodies consumed in the burning house.
In the same neighborhood the dead
body of one negro, VIM. Bailey, was
found yesterday hanging to tree and
it is though the was hung on the same
night that the other negroes were shot.
The affair is said to be the outcome of a
suit over the title of the land where the
negroes resided and had purchased. The
suit was decided in favor of the negroes
at the last term of the district court in
Wharton. So far no arrests have been
made, although the sheriff and posse are
on the ground.
