QUEEN Cry, Tex, Oct. 2S.-The ne.
gro Lee Green, who murdered the wife
and child of Farmer Lowe on Saturday,
was arrested near Kildare and hurried
to Jail at Linden.
Subsequently crowd of 1000 blacks
and whites appeared at the Jail and de-
manded the keys from the shariff's wife,
who was forced to deliver alem. The
determined men who composed the party
took Green from jail, and locked tina
door and delivered the keys back to the
sheriff's wife. The sheriff was absent
with posse hunting the negro. They
took him to the scene of the tragedy and
turned him over to the husband Of the
murdered woman, who obtained full
confession from him.
AL day long men from the adjoining
counties, as well as from all parts of this
arrived at Mr.. loves farm. Finally
trace chain was placed about Green's
neck and fastened to tree SO as to hold
him in a standing position. At thi:
state of the proceedings forty-six colored
men piled fagots high up around him
and an old negress touched match tc

They We're Loyal to Victoria.

LONDON, Oct. est seems rather a
late period for Jacobitisn to find ex-
preston in Great Britain, but it appears
that the house of Stuart has some adher-
ents yet. At a meeting in the quaint
old town of st. Ives, Cornwell, somebody
argued that any stray descendant of the
late pretender's family should be hunted
up and put on the throne, and moved a
resolution to that effect. Thereupon the
mayor of St Ives, who was present,
moved an amendment to the resolution
expressing devoted loyalty to Queen Vic
toria. The amendment was carried
amid great enthusiasm.

The taxpayers OF Pencadcr hundred
are not satisfied with the way Mr..
Dickey has treated them In sitting to
receive the taxes. PeDcadsr was en-
titled to two days each In the months
OF August, September and October,
the receiver to sit OF GLASGOW. five
hours In each OF those days to receive
taxes. Did Mr.. Dickey comply with
the law in these sittings? No. In Au-
gust he did, In September he sat at
Kirkwood, five miles from the place
the law requires him to. What did
he do in October He advertised in
the papers that he would sit Mt Kirk
wood on the 18th and l6th; his hand
bills said be would sit at Kirkwood on
the 18th and i4th. Did he do itp No,
he sat on the 18th and did not appear
on the 14th. When asked why he did
not sit on the 14th, he said he suppos-
ed US farmers would all want to go to
Wilmington and see the tiremen's pa
rade. What does a farmer care about
seeing flremen's parade, he would
farm with its large crops, and fine
stock. or learn how to raise large
pumpkins.
On the 14th quite number OF farm.
ers quit their work and drove nine or
ten miles to Kirkwood to pay their
taxes. On their arrival they learned
that the receiver was just dickeying
with them. Instead OF his being at
Kirkwood as he advertised, he was, no
doubt, enjoying the big parade In Will
m!ngton, and thinking or careing very
little OF the taxpayers rights OF PEN
| cader hundred. When asked what he
was going to do about Pencader, he
said will give them another day. He
did 1t; he was at Kirkwood on Satur-
day, the oath. Did he advertise it in
the newspapers and per hand bills rs
the law directs2 No, he said he told one
ltichard Cam to tell the people. Is
that complying with the law? The re-
suit was very few went to Kirkwood
on Saturday to pay thelr taxes. We

says next year he is going to do just

Sweeping Everything Before 1t Near
Evansville, Ind.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 2e. - A de
structive forest fire is now raging thir.
teen miles from this city on the Evans
vile and Indianapolis railroad. Daniel
Ferguson. who owns a piece Of wood.
land which he has been clearing, gave
orders to clear the underbrush with fire.
Owing to the drought everything is
very dry, and the fire spread so rapidly
that by midnight the entire woods, pas.
ture, covering about five acres, was
.ablaze. AT Q o'clock IN the morning
Ferguson's house was burned. Willis /.
Taylor's farm and buildings followed the
destruction of Ferguson's place. His
place covers 200 acres, and was swept
clear.
Lucien Bugs farm adjoining that Of
Taylors on the east, was next attacked
and swept clear. The wind now veered
and carried the flames to the corn field
and farm buildings, owned by j. Lans.
ford, completely destroying them.
The fire described q complete circle,
and the tanners and their families hud.
died together In q seething mass OF
flames. There was no escape, and II
was all they could do to keep from
smothering.
There was but one casualty. Jim
Kelly, farm hand, was probably fatally
burned. The fire is still raging, burning
in an easterly direction, threatening the
village of Mackey, on the Evansville and
and Indianapolis. Losses amount to
about coo, 900 thus far.
