SHUQuALAK, Miss, Jan. S.--Three bands
OF five men each, headed by William Hare
one of the men slightly wounded in the at
tempt 20 k,ll the negro Maury, Tom Mcclure
and Frank, have never given up the hunt
among the mountains for the fugitive
negroes concerned in the Wahalak mas
sacre.n They have made their rendezvous at
place called the White House Last Sun
day the vigilantes sent into Shuqualak for
supplies, and it was learned that the man
hunters had murdered four negroes-Wide
Cheatham, Anthony Wilder, zack Maury
and Shiles Stenns.
Zack Maury was shot while the white men
were talking to him in his cotton gin and
while he was protesting that he knew nothing
of the whereabouts of his brother George.
Cheatham was shot in the back yard of his
house, after he had got down ON his knees to
the white men and begged for his life.
Anthony Wilder, "A Union soldier who
with Grant at Vicksburg, was met by
the desperadoes in the road as he was going
with load of cottonseed TO Wahalak The
men shot him and buried his body, as they
had the two Others, by digging shallow holes
and putting stones upon the dirt after the
corpse was covered.
Saturday they caught Stiles Stennis, who
had been hiding in an abandoned gin house
for nearly two weeks. Stennis tried to de-
fend himself with an ak, and was shot three
times before he fell. His daughter, in terror
told the hunters that George Maury had es-
capped from the country, but that Walter
Croo, the other leader OF the negroes, had
been with her father three days before and
had left to 60 with a negro in the country
whose name she did not know-and borrow
enough money TO take him north.
The merchants of the county have begun
to write letters to Sheriff j. r. Key, at De
Kalb, intimating that it is time for him to
stop the bloody work
All the negroes killed owned little farms
worth from $500 To 81 800 All of these
farms have been relocated at DE Kalb by
white men. This circumstance has aroused
indignation among conservative men here.
NJ ROsenbaum, a merchant OF De Kalb,
who passed through Shuquaak, on his way
to st. Louis, said: 1--WE can see now what all
this fuss was about 1t was simply neigh
borhood row. They wanted these negroes

1T MAY CAUSE HIM TROUBLE
A Central American Paper Alleges That
Our Representative at San Domingo
Has Become the Agent of a
Speculator In Curiosities.

New YORK, Jan. ga local paper has the
following:
In La Nacion, the most representative
newspaper of Central America, which APP
pears in San Domingo, we find the following
most scandalous story. It sounds so in
credible that only the serious character of
the paper and of the documents printed
therein are guarantees for its truth.
The following letter tells the whole story:
"To Senior Figuero, Minister of the Interior,
in San Domingo:
"YoUR EXcELLENCY-Mr. III. M. Linell, a
citizen of the United States, America, has
requested me, IN my capacity as United
States consul, to ask the Dominican govern
ment whether the bones OF the immortal
Chris topher Columbus, the discoverer of
America and permit for the exhibition Of
them could be obtained from the govern
ments
"The interest which the people in America
take in their history is so intense that the
presence of Columbus remains in the larger
cities would create enough curiosity to swell
the receipts of the treasury of the Dominican
republic to a degree unprecedented in its his
tory"
Mr.. Linell begs to submit the following
offer: HE guarantees to defray all the ex-
pcuSeo lOE btle o. bue DOneS3 Il
guard of eight soldiers and four priests.
He guarantees to defray all the expenses
which should arise during the tour of these
persons in the United States and also their
salaries. He guarantees to remit 80 per cent
of the net receipts to the Dominican govern
ment in quarterly payments, and guarantees
that they should not amount TO less than
$500, 900 year.
HE guarantees the safe return of the
bones after a time of not less than four
years Mr. Linell desires that the church
and government authorities state publicly
that these are the genuine bones of Column
bus, and that exhibition of them shall be
permitted for this trip only.
I'm submitting this offer to your excel
lency, want to direct our excellency's at
tention to the Importance of this offer and
its urgency. Yours, respectfully,

"San Domingo, Nov. 10, 1SSS.n
To this, La Nacion tell us, Minister Figuero
wrote an indignant reply, in which the offer
was peremptorlly declined 1t is said in this
letter that the government of the Dominican
republic has too much self respect to give to
the world spectacle of such an unworthy
nature, aud that the government considers
the interference of an United States officer
in this matter as public scandal

newspapers treat the affair in the same in

wall? How would your mother look
in that posture? Catch her doing
it, You don't find her hands in her
pockets. Your mothers hands
While you are loafng, they are the
hands that sew and bake and stew
and fry and sweep and darn and
nurse, but she does not sink them
in her pockets and then loll against
a building.
Are your hands cold? Warm them
up at the end of the hoe-handle and
scythe. Swing the hammer; drive
the plane; flourish the axe. There
is untold calorie about the spade,
trowel and wrench.
Besides, pocket heat is not profta-
BILE. Havey you money there, though?
Are your pockets the safes in which
you have hidden treasure, and your
hands the bolts that secure the safe
door? Money may be there to-day,
but it won't be guest over to-mor-
row night. An idler's money is apt
to leap out of his pocket 1t is like
ly to go for pipe, cigar, tobacco
plug, a mug Of ale. There is no
money in pocket-wsrming.
Take your hands out of your peck

A HEROIC ACT.

A New Orleans special says:
Remarkable stories Of heroism
the steamer John Planna, which
was burned near Plaquemine, Dec.
%, are being told by the survivors.
One story makes James Owens the
hero Of the occasion. Owens was
one of the crew when the steamer
touched the bank and bounded
away, and Pilot Jollis left the wheel
and sprang overheard. Givens
quickly realized the salvation of all
on board depended upon the boat
being brought back to the bank.
At this time the pilot house was
surrounded by the flames. Nothing
daunted, the brave fellow sprang
again to the bank, and in order to
keep her there locked the wheel in
the proper position.
While he was doing this, the fire
swept over the pilot house and he
was imprisoned by the flames which
had already severely burned him.
1t was high time to think Of his own
life now that he had rendered pos
sible the saving of scores of others.
To escape it was necessary to push
through the wall Of fire surrounding
him. Givens made a dash for the
side of the steamer, and, although
frightfully burned, succeeded in
reaching it. Although q moving
mass Of fire he did lose his presence
OF mind, but jumped into the river
and struggled to the bank, where he
was pulled up, cruelty burned and
exhausted from his efforts. Givens
had his eyes burned out and other
severe injuries fatal. No man ever
performed more heroic act than
that Of Owens, and it is a matter of
intense regret that his gallantry and
humane conduct should have cost
him his life. A purse is being made
up for the wife and children.
