~ INDTAN WAR.

The present indications are, that
there will be fierce, bloody and
destructive war with the Indians.
There has already been severe fight
ing and in one battle with Big Foot's
followers, more Indians were killed
than in any fight for % years. Many
of the blue coats also passed into the
beyond, including Captain Wallace,
who was with Custer S It'll regiment at
the famous massacre, though he was
with Reno's troop. The seventh
evidently remembered that, and great
bravery was exhibited, fighting at
the close range of thirty feet, until
the sable warriors gradually gave
way, leaving more than hundred of
their number dead on the field. That
was weird thought expressed by
'the late Mr.. Sitting Bull, to wit:
that, God Almighty made him an In
dian, but nobody could make him
an agency Indian The old fellow
forgot to add shat some one might
make him dead Indian. The finale
may possibly result in almost total
extinguishment Of their race. But
what is to be done? They will not
farm. They will not work and ra-
tions are issued to them at the peo-
PIES expense, to maintain them in
idleness. Schools are maintained to
instruct their children, and an army
kept to prevent their devilment, but
they will only fight, and that forces
the enforcement of the law. Either
civilization or savagery must sue
cumb and it is not hard problem to
decide, which

A MONSTER JEwEL.-Speaking of
diamonds, 1 saw at the Grand I'm
ion garden party at Saratoga what
is said to be the largest single piece
of jewelry ever made in this coun-
try. 1t is two and half to four
inches wide and at least eight inches
long. 1t was worn by the wife of a
rich sporting man named Hankins,
of Chicago, and one of the most
noted jewelers. of the country tells
me that it is worth more than $751;
600. 1t consists of great butter
fly with outstretched wings, made of
diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sap
phires. 1t is the largest butterfly
ever made, and it containes 200 dia-
monds. The butterfly has body
made of great Hungarian opal, and
the tail of the butterfly is of emer-
aids.
This is fastened to a diamond
necklace, and it rests just at the
edge of the collar-bone, with the tail
extending down on the bosom of the
wearer's decollete dress. Fastened
to the body Of the butterfly and
hanging down below it is great
oval mass of gold and diamonds as
big around as a door plate, which
rests upon the chest and which ex-
tends pretty well below Plimsoll's
line. The exact dimensions of this
ornament are 81 inches long by p
inches wide. The base is of solid
gold and there is blazing ring of
76 large diamonds around the edge.
Upon the face of the gold door plate
is Mrs. Hankins's mon ogram in dia-
monds, and the whole ornament
weighs over pound. Every time
Mrs. Hankins breathes she lifts this
SIS 900 worth of gold and diamonds
and every time she signs this fortune
goes down and then rises spasmodi-
cally upward Cincinnati Star.

The Shooting OF the Negro Allen G
Guyton Night Before Last.

The Shooting OF the Negro Allen at
Guyton Night Before Last.
The lynching of the negro Allen at Guy
tod night before last was the talk of the
streets yesterday. 1t is said that several
Savannahians were present at the lynching,
though. Of course. they took no part in it.
One young man said he walked
around through the cornfelds in the
mud and rain for half an hour trying
to catch up with the procession and got
there in time TO hear about fifty shots fired
Two cases Of WiGchesters were shipped
to Guyton Tuesday night by express, to q
gun CLUB, it was said. that had been organ
lied there. 1t would appear that something
Of the kind had been anticipated from the
shipping of the guns.
R$Allen, who was captured at Claxton, on
the Savannah and Western railroad,
was taken by the officers to
Guyton via Meldrim with the intention Of
taking him to the county Jail at Spring
field. Solicitor General Fraser, apprehend-
ing trouble, wrote the officers to bring Allen
to Savannah, and was very much surprised
to hear that his instructions had been dis
regarded. Allen reached Guyton on the
Halcyondale accommodation about o'clock
and a preliminary hearing was held. He Yves
committed to await trial for shooting
Marshal Myers and was put IN the Central
railroad station with six guards over him.
From the reports brought from the scene
about seventy-tive men assembled after
dark, prepared to in1ct summary punish
ment upon Allen. The crowd seemed to be
all of the same mind, and there was no talk
of what they were about to do. About 10
o'clock Winchesters were distributed 70
those not already supplied. The party
marched upon the guards at the STATIC
house, and covering them with rifles
demanded the prisoner.
The guards made only feeble attempt
to hold out against the superior numbers,
and the prisoner was secured without
trouble.
None of the crowd were masked, and
there was no effort at concealment.
Allen was taken out the road leading
east from Guyton to the forks, about a mile
distant. The night was dark and
cloudy. The party left the road
at the forks and penetrated the
woods a short distance. The negro was
told that he must die, and was told to pray.
He appeared stolid and indif erent probably
stupeied with fear. He had made no sound
during the march. nor attempted any resist
ance. He appeared to regard his fate as
sealed. When told to pray no made a short
prayer, asking God to destroy the world anc
oil the people In it.
A chain with which Allen was bound was
passed around his waist and tied to tree
The crowd stepped OFF few feet, matches
were struck to give a little light for aim,
and the word was given. First one shot
was fired, followed rapidly by others until
about fifty had been fired.
Aliens head was blown nearly to pieces
and his body was riddled with bullets. See
ing that their work was well done the
crowd rapidly dispersed.
Yesterday morning nobody in Guytou
appeared to know anything about the
affair

z NEW LUMBER CoMBlN :.

MIL Men and the Georgia Lumber
Company Come Together.
The Georgia Lumber Company held a
meeting last night at its Office over the
Ocean Steamship Compsny's Office on Bay
street. The capital stock Of the company
was increased to 1000, and three large
milling firms were admitted to partnership
in the Company. The firms are Perkins
& Bro. of Harrison, Washington county,
Brlnson & Brinson of StiIlmore, Emanuel
county, and q. w Garbutt g. Co. OF Spann,
johnson county.
This is quite departure in the lumber
business. Heretofore the mill men and the
lumber companies have operated separately,
always with more or less friction. The
Georgia Lumber Company proposes to com
bine the two interests.
The three firms admitted are among the
best known in the lumber business in the
state.
The board of officers and directors was
increased by the election OF G. w. Perkins
vice president, and George NJ. Brinson and
Frank j. Garbutt directors. Mr.. Perkins
is the senior member OF the Perkins Man
ufacuring Company OF augusta, Perkins
u Co. OF Washington county and the
Beaver Dam Lumber Company OF Burke
county. He is also superintendent of the
WnghtSyllle and Tennille railroad. Mr.
Perkins is one of the wealthiest lumber
men in the state.
The Georgia Lumber Company is the
youngest lumber company in the city,
having been organized March l, 1891. It's
shipping yards are on tde Ocean Steamship
Company's wharf. The company began
with eighty feet of wharf front, and the
railroad company has found it necessary to
increase this to 600 feet.
1t IS expected that the news Of last nights
deal will be something OF a surprise to the
lumberlnen generally, as it is q new DEPART
ura in the business.
Mr.. George M. Brinson, representing the
mill men, said last night that they consid-
cred 1t very advantageous arrangement
for the mills.

THE SALT AIR DID IT.
A Legislators Novel Experience With
Folding Bed.

Folding Bed.
The Atlanta Herald tells a good story on
one of the Legislative party which was in
Savannah last week: While doubtless an
excellent lawmaker, the gentleman had
never heard of folding bed.
1t CHANGED that his room at the De Soto
wes supplied with one Of these convenience,
the use Of which was apparent enough to
the solon, when arranged for sleeping, but
being set up, end to all appearance only a
mirror, he was at great loss to under
stand what it was.
1t was his second night in the room. after
the banquet and the salt air bath at Tybee,
and the gentleman retired to his room and
was perfectly thunderstruck at not seeing
his bed.
By an oversight the chambermaid had
neglected to make it down.
Then he began TO hammer on the electric
button to such an extent that everybody on
duty came rushing to his room, while ex-
cited messengers ran to call out the police
and fire departments.
"What is the matter9" exclaimed the
room clerk excitedly.
Matter! Gosh! Hang it, don't you see
somebody stole my bed"
When the situation was explained to him,
he remarked that salt air want no good
