SELLING HUMAN CHATTELs.
Large Traffic in slaves in Zanzi-
bar


LONDON, Oct. 22.-Letters from Zan-
zibar received at the office OF the anti
slavery society here report that the
buying and selling of human chattels
in the streets of that city is being car
fied on with scarcely an attempt at con-
cealment. Weekly markets are held,
at which slaves are boldly exposed to
the gaze of intending buyers, and in
many cases each slave carries placard
suspended from his neck, upon which
is written the price at which he can he
bought. The women are not usually
.ticketed in this way, but are sold for
what they will fetch, the ordinary
price being from e6 to el0
each, if they are young. The mer-.
chants who carry: >:-..lansss-tt ttilee e@stYatfic

of traders, every member of which
halls from England, furnishes ali the

that by far the largest share of their
immense profits is derived from this
traffic. Ali the local officials in Zanzi-
bar are said to be in the pay of this
firm, who purchase immunity by brib-

slightest attention. To illustrate the
OpenneSS with which the traffic is car

ceiptS of slaves every week are pub
Hcly announced by placards upon the

PINE CONFEssEs.
de Did Not Rob President Moffatt
in His Bank.

DENVER. Col, Oct. 22.-Frank Pine,
alias George Hall, the celebrated conf
dence man and gold brick schemer,
made his dying confession last evening
at his residence in this city, in the pres
ence of witnesses and notary public.
The documents, two in number, were
for City Auditor Winram, of Kansas
City, and John E. Bull, of the same city.
William j. Brewster claims to have
been defrauded out of $4,000 in cash
and $1,000 on note given to Pine in
payment for all interest in mining prop
erty in Pima county, Arizona, which
was found to be worthless. Brewster
claims Winram was a party to the
fraud in that he recommended Pine and
spok e highly of his character. A suit
for $4,000 damages is pending in Kan
sas City against Pine. Winram and John
(. Bull. who. it is charged, acted in the
mine sale as o. &. Petty, owner of the
property. Pine, in his confession, states
positively that Auditor Winram and
John Z. Bull had nothing to do with the
deal, nor did they receive any of the
proceeds. He says Petty was an Eng
lishman, who, when he received his
money, started on trip to Europe. In
a statement to a reporter, he denied
having made the alleged confession
published regarding his connection
with the robbery of President Moffat in
his bank of $4,000, some months ago,
and also several other statements pub
lished in the papers during the past few
weeks. The doctors say he cannot live
more than week.

THE DRUMMER PRAYED,

mediately Thereaft er.

COLUMBUS, S. c., Oct. 22.-Some very
curious facts in connection with the re-
cent lynching of young Robert Berrier
tor the murder of his mother-in-law,
near Lexington, NC, have just come
TO. light. "A party who witnessed the
hanging says Berrier was taken from
the Jail at half-paSt z and Immediately
carried to the outskirts of the town
under a large oak tree. Here the mob
stopped and asked the prisoner If he
was ready to die. Berrier said he
would be if lie knew he would
meet his wife and babe in heaven.
The mob then informed him that he
weuld be allomed time to pre-
pare for death. About this time drum
mer. who was in town, came upon the
scene. and asked to 6e allowed TO pray
with the condemned man. His request
was granted. and he knelt down by the
side of Berrier and prayed very fer
vently that God would save his soul.
During the prayer. many hearty
"Amens" and such responses as Lord
grant it," ETC., went up from the mob.
For more than three hours prayer and
regular religious services were con-
Quoted. A few minutes before mid
night Bcrrier expressed his Willingness
to die. He was then placed upon a
horse, with a rope about his neck, and
then as an appropriate hymn was sung
the horse WAS led from under him and
the body left dangling in the air.

five negroes approached the house and
asked Mrs Smith to give them some

went into the house, and, learning that
there was no one home but Mrs. Smith
and her babe, forced her into
the yard and began ransacking
the house. After apprOprlatlng
all they could find in the
way of money and valuables, they set

tor and three cOnfederates were arrested
for stealing OH Saturday, and yesterday
afternoon they were tried before Judge
Barto and bound over to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury at the December
term of court. 1t appears that they
were working systematically. They
had committed large number of burg
larieS and petty thefts during the past
six months. Three stores had been
broken into and robbed of hundreds of
dollars worth of goods, consisting of
clothing. boots and shoes, tobacco, etc.
One saloon had been robbed of money.
liquors and cigars, and many things had
been taken from private residences,
they even going so far in one case as to
steal front door from its hinges during
the absence of the family. When search
was made much of the stolen property
was discovered, some of it plowed under
in field not far from the house, some
under a haystack and some in the
house. These robberies have been the
most bold and audaciOuS known in this
vicinity for years. There is little doubt
but that all the gang will go to the penl-
tentiary for long term of years.
