RAILROAD TO SCRANTON.

A few days since some Of our lead
ing business men had Il survey made
Of The railroad 10 Scranton on about
the line Of the present Telephone road.
1t now appears HAT there are others
Of our business men and parties ~
Tennessee who are preparing TO build
from Moss Point out 10 the nearest
polni Of the L. 81 N. Railroad, and
run there by The main line TO Scran-
ton. This would require only two
miles of new road. This last party
also had some understanding with the
officials of the l.. 81 N. Ii seems there
was a secret survey made some time
since.

REV. d. O. BYERS REPLIES TO MIR. H.
d. EVERITT.

Moss POINT, MISS, Sept. 81, 1889.
Editor Democrat-Star:
have read The "Explanation" by
Mr., ii. Il. Evcritt IN The DEMOCRAT
Star of last week, and aside from one
correction, have but little reply 10
make.
Bro. Jones did not write 10 me for
an explanation Of cur course in lcav-
ing the Methodist Church, but | vol
unfairly wrote him, as il was Chris
lian courtesy TO have done, stating
the reasons which had led us 10 vacate
tho church, and thanking him and his
people for its use.
We began preaching in that church
some three years ago, on the cordial
invitation, and, indeed, the request of
Rev. Mr., Tinnin, who vas then pas
tor.
One word in conclusion Brother
Jones, | presume, did not expect me
10 preach regularly at Scranton with
out any rcmuncration--especially, as
none Of my salary, which is very
little, was paid by members of his
chuch. Yet Bro. Everilt says, "Mr.
Jones did not relish the idea of his
meagrc support being thus curtailcd."
The very natural inference, and
that which we drew, was that ii
would be more pleasant to Bro. Jones
that we should not occupy his church.
We therefore decided that il would
conluce to- Christian fellowship to
| l,All s,tlp cnpX.ipng m nIInIhnIs Itlnpn
But. in view of The evide IT need OF
gospel work in Scranton, we do not
feel prepared to abandon our work.
We have nothing but the kindcst
feelings toward Brother Jones, and
every member Ofhis church and would
avoid everything which can mar the
pleasant relations hitherto existing.

RID. Beckley, we'll known colored poll
tician of Virginia, now democrat, who has

heretofore the most effective colored repuo'

only opposed to Gen. Malone, but are act
ively working against him that only three
of the many white republicans In the Louisa
Court House district will vote for the Gen

at the coming election go democratic. he
save. however, that the few colored men
who are opposed to Gen. Malone are
drowned upon" by the other members OF
their race, though, as yet. no violence mas
been attempted upon them.
One republican club alone of this city mas
made arrangements to send eleven hundfeo
negroes to Virginia to vote at the coming
election in that State, the most OF whom
will be ''placed" in Spotss lvania and Louisa
counties. This Is pointer for the demo
cratic managers in the counties referred to.

Gen. Mahone's Plans.

New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Herald's spe-
oial from Washington says: The true in
wardness of the fight which General Ma
hone ia making in Virginia at the present
time ia not 80 much his election as Govern .
or as the ultimate object of securing the
vice presidential nomination in 1892
Those who make his statement, and they
are in position tc know whereof they
speak, outline General Mahonc's plans as
follows: His election as Governor would
Justify his claim Of having broken the "Sol.
id South" Every republican paper in the
North, it is believed. would Immediately
hail him as the little Napoleon of Virginia.
With the prestige thus gained and fortified
with the State and federal patronage Gen.
Malone would, it is thought, carry cold
Malone delegation to the next Presidential
convention The desire of the republicans
to elect their candidate without reference
to New York State would aid General Ma
hone in his efforts to eecure the second
place on the ticket 10 return for his pledge
to wheel Virginia into the republican COL
umn. This is said to be the reel stake for
which Malone ia playing. Whether he
succeeds or not will depend very largely
upon the result in the Old Doniuion two
weeks hence.

Important Decision.

DEs MoIass Iowa, oot "a decision
has been handed down by the Supreme
Court in which several old features and
come new opes of the prohibitory law are
passed upon. Among the questions is the
right of the State by legislative enactment
to confscats personal property of defend

that statutes authorizing such procedure
are in conflict with the constitu
ton of the United States and of Iowa.
The opinion holds that in criminal action
for nuisance against the man the place kept
By him is on trial also and therefore there is
due process of law. The property rendered
valueless by this order OF the Court exceeds
100000 in value and consists of breweries

Mr.. Albert Smith and his three eldest children
had gone some miles to church, five colored men
annroacbea the house and asked Mrs. Smith to
give them something to eat. On being refused
they went into the house, and learning that there
was no one at home but Mrs Smith and her little
babe forced her into the yard and began ransack:
ing the house. After apPrOpriatng all that thsy
they sat fire to the house, and added horrors to
the terrible scene by forcing the distracted wom-
an to witness the most brutal of fendish deeds,
which was the tossing of her little baby in the air
and letting it fall back almost on the points Of
sharp knives which they held under it. The
brutes finally needed the frantic woman's en-
tresties and went away. leaving her with nothing
