LYNCHBURG NOTES.
A COlored Dry Goods Store.

LYNCHBURG, VA, Oct. 4, 1890.
This is something the people of
Lynchburg have been looking for a
long time. This enterprise has been
undertaken by some of our worthy
young men who have taken up the
idea that they can get enough of the
patronage of their own people to
make this a successful undertaking.
1t is conducted by Mr.. Jas. Mitch
ell and is quite a credible enterprise
and deserves to be patronized by all
those who are interested in the sue
cess of the race. 1t ought to be en-
couraged by the people of the city, it
being the first attempt made by a
colored person to open like estab-
lishment. Next week a full supply of
shoes will be put in of the best quail
ity and cheapest prices.
They can afford to sell as cheap as
anybody in the city. | recommend
this establishment as of the most
note worthy ever undertaken in our
city. 1t is situated on 9Th Avenue
between Jackson and Polk right in
the midst of our best and most in
fiuential people, Go there and get
their prices before buying elsewhere.
Where the recent firewa in Lynch
burg a wall fell from one of the hous-
es Sept. 30. General Farley being in
the house fell with it. The scene was
one of the widest excitement. In
ID minutes the General was taken
out unhurt.
Prof. ID. Webster Davis was at our
Y. M. G. A., on the 2Sth and deliver
ed an excellent address to nearly 500
people. Mr.. Slaughter, our president
never allows any strangers of note to
come in our midst without speaking.
He will bein Richmond next week. |

have him talk as much as possible

We aregetting upon firmer ground;
we are beginning TO see somewhat in
the dark. Weimagine that President
Harrison is not so blind to the facts
as they are, the situation as it is. as
when he conquetted with the social

South.
EX-GOVERNOR WILIIAM T.. CAME
RON OF Virginia, a creation and q
creature OF WILLIAM MALONE, the
Bourbon-saturated Republican War
wick of Virginia, has become disgust
ed with the remarkable revival of
Simon-pure Republicanism in the
House of Representatives, under the
masterful leadership of Speaker
REED, and, in long letter published
in the Petersburg INDEX APPEAL. adj
jures his allegiance to the Republican
party and sinks back into the mire
of Democracy, whence he dragged
himself as repudiator of Virginia's
honest debts. He cannot stand the
tendency" of the Republican party
towards our peoplel"
Now let William Malone of Virgin
in, Congressman EwART of North
Carolina, and Congressman COLE
MAN OF Louisiana, and the other
"DOugh-faces of their sort, follow
CAMERoN's lead. The Republican
party needs to be purged of such tim

OF her church, who gave the matter
a careful investigation and says
over their signatures, owe find
from testimony that she is in no
way guilty, and is worthy of chris

DEATH-BED CONFESSION
Ola Murder for Which Another Murderer
Was Hung.

CkAWFoRDsvlLIE, Ind, April 10
James Dennis made dcath-bed confes-
sion that he killed James McMullen, for
whose murder John w. Coiley hung Oc-
tobor s, 1881, the rope breaking three
times. CoiIcy at the trial confessed, for
what reason is not known, that he killed
both Mr. and Mrs. McMullcn, and Dennis
went free. Dennis now says he killed
McMullcn, and when his wife ran out Of
the house CoiTcy hit her on the head
and killed her. No one thought Dennis
was guilty, and public indignation cen
tered upon CoiIcy, whose hanging was a
horrible butchcry. They were murder
ed for money, and the house was burned
to the ground to cover tho crime. DR..
Hamilton, of Waynetown, holds Den

Damaging Effect Of the Pressure From
Sashyiilc'e New Reservoir

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April al.-Nash.
villc's new reservoir is now completed,
water from it was turned into the pipes
running to the central portion of the
city. Tho bottom of the reservoir is
above the highest building in the city.
1t had been estimated to give a pressure
of seventy pounds to the square inch,
and that some of the old water pipes
would burst The latter expectation
was realized. a twenty-four-inch pipe on
Vine street burst, and a sheet Of water
forced itself through three feet of ma.
cadamizcd street, tearing hole four
feet long. The stream of water vent
forty feet into the air at an angle of
forty-tive degrees. 1t struck the new
Christian Church and broke out all tho
windows, tearing up the cornice and
flooding the building. r. L. Pages clo-
CANT residence was also in line OF the
stream, and it suffered thousands OF
dollars damage. The water poured in
at the front windows, and as tho
door leading to the stairway was
closed, tho upper floor was flooded to
the window-sills and poured out at tho
windows. Carpets, furniture and every
.hing in reach were ruined. Downstairs
great damage was done, the whole house
suffering greatly. A one-thousand-dol-
lar piano was absolutely ruined. The
water was turned off in about thirty
minutes, but it was as much longer be-
lore the water ceased to flow.

the Distress-Not u House Es-
canes the Torrent.

BAYOU SARA, La, April % AT 1890
4. m. the guards reported that the levce
had given way at the foot of Fountain
street. This break was closed, hut on
examination it was found that the ris-
ing river was running over the front
levee. All that human effort could do
had been DONE and at last the solemn
cry went up all along the line, "Givo us
men;we are gone, 'and then the confusion
of the people can be better imagined
than described. Every impromptu boat
and raft was brought into reQuisition.
Lanterns could be seen everywhere, and
the cries Of men, women and children
trying to save their effects was q sight
that was sickcning. Not a house in
town has escaped. The beautiful Fish
er Building, tbs. home Of Mayor. Irvine,
supposed to be the highest, is sub
merged. Our town is in ruins. Nothing
but chaos and destruction meets the eye
at every view. To-day it is raining hard,
which makes the picture more gloomy.
The water is also running over large
extent of the Point Coupee from the
Taylor leycc, which has given way, and
the Fanny Ioor crevasse will probably
prove q very serious one. The large
levees, from the last accounts, are in
tact, but things look critical.

GENERAL Hill received telegram under

the information that tho soldiers who
went 10 Harlan County to protect the

twenty were from that place, fifteen
IRON Lexington, three from Lancaster,
and the others from Frankfort and
Lanesville. General Hill says Captain
ualther wrote him last week thata a posse
was being organized to arrest wills
Howard and one of his gang out in the
BACK mountains, and that he
had promised twelve soldiers as
part OF the posse. 1t is possible
that the fight was between this
posse and lloward's gang, or it may have
peeh an attempt on the part of the
friends of VIII Jennings to rescue him.
Jennings has been cleared of one charge
lor which he was taken to Harlan to be
trled, but instead of being released he
was held for another, and possibly for
delivery to the Missouri authorities,
who wanted him at the time OF his arrest
by the Kentucky officers last fall Jen.

way to Missouri, and General Hill thinks
1t not unlikely that the night nav
have resulted from an attempt of Jen.

Mountains, whore the fight occurred, is
seventeen miles from Harlan. A telo-
gram from lineyillc gives the follow
ing account of the affair: Judge Royd

the Howard faction, but the local officers
could not or were afraid to arrest them.
