The couple have been lovers for two or

A Thrilling Incident in the Life of a Police

Eyes, and one that | shall never forget.
Just get Mr. Elliott to let up on. that colicky
banjo and | viii tell you about them. Elev-
en- years ago, nearly, negro named James
Carroll perpetrated an outrage upon Mrs.
Richard Thomas, of Buckeyetown, Va. He
made good his escape. and four days
after | arrested him here, after chase
of two or three miles. The clock was
striking II when | brought him In the
door. 1t was decided to send him to Nlr-
ginia at once, and Officer Benjamin f.
Harper and myself started with him. There
was strong feeling against the fend, and
we feared trouble. Mayor Moberly, of
Frederick, Md, was telegraphed to meet US.
As the train stopped at Tuscarora Station
about thirty men boarded it. Everything
was conducted in the most quiet manner,
and nothing whatever said to the prisoner
or us The train switched off at the Point
of Rock station for Frederick, and as it
Stacked its speed more than hundred
men gathered around, and, armed to
the teeth, they boarded the train and
began crying for vengeance. We appealed
to them, but it dld no good. They were
bent upon their mission of vengeance,
and a regiment of braver men than we
could never Lave stayed their hands Car
roll was dragged out, though we struggled
hard to retain him. We were pushed to the
rear Of the car and kept there until the
lynchers had gone with their man. The
men who held us at bay were so anxious to
see the lynching that they left us, and we
followed the crowd. Again we were pick
ed up by main force and carried back to the
train. and there guarded until its departure
for Frederick Fully 300 men gathered
around the fend, and, with a rope around
his neck, he was given few moments to
make peace with his Maker, and then was
strung up. 1t was quick work. Many
of the lynchers bore the trace of years as
gray hairs covered their heads; many were
young men in the prime of life; all were
honest farmers, and had left mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters at their homes,
and the vengeance they had taken was for
their future protection. This was on
Thursday and the body was watched until
the next morning, when it was cut down
and turned over to the Coroner. The hand
cuffs were taken off and returned to me,
and | never look at them without remem-
berlng the terrible experience of that day.

During the last illness of the King of
Portugal. when he was signing DEGREES. it

Minister in attendance had to separate
them according to their importance, put
ting aside those that were not urgent, and
just mentioning the nature of their con-
tents as he did so. Among them was a
pension of 100 reis (six pencel a day to an
old woman, and that, after being named,
was, without hesitation, placed by the
Minister at the bottom of the rejeced
heap, the King saying nothing. When he
had with difficulty got through the i'm
pOrtant heap he said to the Minister
Now, hand me the old woman pension.

THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS.
Cherokee Commissioners Dissatisfied with
the Sinir of A nnirs.

ST.. LOUIS, Dec 30.-Whdt purports to
be a synopsis of the Cherokee commission
ers' report to congress is print
ed here today 1t charaCterizes
the diiatory tactics of the Cherokees as
gross discourtesy to the government, and
denounces the action of the cattle men in
making ticticious bids for Indian lands.
The report recommends that the govern
ment avail itself of its undeniable right,
under section Is of treaty 66, to settle
civilized Indians on unoccnpied lands IN
the Cherokee nation proper and
payment of such a sum as shall be agreed
upon by the Indians; or in case of their
disagreement the price per acre TO be fixed
by the president. By the payment of 81
500, 900 to the Cherokees fully ten million
acres now occupied 10y the tribes west of
SO degrees could be opened to settlement
while on the other hand 81 ,000,000 ex-
pended for the Cherokee outlet would only
secure six million acres inferior
in quality in lands now owned by
the government but occupied by Indians
who have no title to the soil, but only the
right to occupancy at the governments
pleasure. The commissioners also suggest
the opinion that the alleged Cherokee
nation with laws passed and admins
tered by white men who are really United
States citizens, has become extinct by
virtue of long continued inter marriage
between Indians and whites, and ask if,
in strict sense, justice warrants DISPOSE
tion of Indian annuities and other revenues
equally among white United States citi-
zens and full blood Cherokees.

THE PRESENT EVILS.

The present system of education is fail
ing to reach the children of the poor, was
the response. "Why is this so?" Simply
because it is necessary 10 put them TO work
at a very early age. The big MaSsachu-
Setts mills are full of children IL or II years
of age. The age of compulsory education
should be raised to l. years, and the state
should supply such aid from the treasury,
whether In form of food. clothing or other
necessaries as may be needful to enable the
children of parents who are dependent up
on them to attend school. With this pro-
vision school attendance should be made
absolutely compulsory.
The plutocratic tendency dates back
thirty years" continued Mr.. Bellamy
1T has increased so rapidly that ii is
enough to scare any thinking man. If it
continues to increase as il has IL the past,
the wealth of the country will be wholly
in the hands of small fraction of the peo-
pie. and the rest of us will have to live on
wages. If nothing is done within ten or
fifteen years to check this tendency. we
are lost. We are upon the very hinge of
distlny. If we swing any further on the
edge nothing but a social cataclysm can
save us. There is no chance but for a
strong public movement, and if the coun-
try does not want to go any further with
US, the whole matter may as well be
dropped. Meanwhile we shall have done
a great thing for the laborers of the coun-
try in going as far as we have gone. Let
it be understood that we are in no way in
sympathy with any anarchical movement.
The American flag is good enough for
us.
Do you believe that this ideal state of
affairs would benefit north and south
ahke?" was asked.
1t will be not only beneficial to the
whites of the south as well as the north, "
replied Mr. Bellamy, but it will afford
an ideal method for the discipline, culture
and elevation of the recently enfranchised
colored man.
In conclusion. Mr.. Bellamy said that he
was deiuged with invitations to speak, but
has invariably declined, as he did not
care to be looked npon as hippodromer.
Il feel that can do better work for the
cause by simple conversation with my fell
low-men, he said
