NASHVILLE. Tenn, May 2S. The
little city of Columbia, Tenn, was in
state of intense excitement over the
capture Of the negro Green Wells, who
on Saturday last shot and killed Mr..
John Fly, prosperous farmer In that
county. The sheriff received a dispatch
from Iron City that the negro was in
custody there and to send officers for
him. At the same time it became gen.
orally known in Columbia, and a large
crowd gathered at the depot to give the
officers and the prisoner reception.
Thinking there might be trouble, Judge
Patterson intercepted the sheriff at
Lawrenceburg, advising him to stop
there with his man, because it would be
unsafe with the present feeling Of ex-
citement to take him to Columbia. The
sheriff took the judges advice and
stopped at Lawrenceburg, about sir
miles from the murdered mans home.
About midnight a dispatch stated that
Wells had been taken from the officers
and hanged to tree, and his body rid
died with bullets by the mob.

Strong Evidence OF n Quadrupie Murder
at Newark, N. j.
NEW YORK, May 2s.--The police of
Newark, N. j., are disturbed at the
new and startling developments in the
recent drowning of four men in the
Hackensack river. 1t was supposed that
the boat in which the men were fishing
was accidentally upset, and the dark
ness and fog prevented them from see
ing the shore, but now q relative of one
of them claims that they were attacked
by fishermen on whose grounds their
boat had foated, and lost their lives in
the fight which ensued. Wounds on
the bodies OF the victims indicate vio-
lence and bear out this theory. The
names of the dead men are Harry and
Jacob Gasser, Charles Haronberg and
Joseph Fuss. The men disappeared on
the night of May 16 and their bodies
were found during the ensuing week.
The police have begun an Investigation,
which thus far has revealed enough to
satisfy them that there was fight on
the fishing grounds, hnt which of the
numerous Fishermen were concerned in
II they have not yet discovered. The
sudden taking of Of the four men leaves

Peoples Party Made Up of Men who

MADISON, Wis, May 28.-Railroad
Commissioner Ell. A. Taylor, in letter
to The State Journal of this city says of
the Peoples party inaugurated at Gin
cinnati: fThe convention at Cincinnati
has no riglitful claim to be called ma
tional convention. In it we find inen
who have been promiminent in neither
political or business circles. The men
of brain, Of integrity and craftsmanship,
the men who have organized and con-
trolled our great financial enterprises,
who have enacted our laws and devoted
lives of fidelity to all legitimate public
interests, have not raised their voices in
the clamor of discomfort which comes
from the Cincinnati convention. / can
not believe that any considerable num-
Der of the Leading men of either of the
great parties of the country will be
found in the ranks of this new party.
1t win be largely made up of perhaps
well meaning, but misinformed men,
who viii be used as tools by those who
have nothing to lose and everything to
gain through discomfort and disinteg-
ration. 42t

Monterey to San Francisco in 1S49. In
the following year it was made a daily

The San Francisco Herald, and the two
were rivals until the great vigilance

Alta supported this committee, while
The Herald opposed it, which caused
the latter paper to be boycotted, causing
