CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 4.-In-

a horrible holocaust, which occurred
about midnight last night at Duck

city. The kitchen of a construction
train used in building a new road,
caught fire in some unknown manner,
and four colored men burned to death.
Their names are King Meadows, John
Harvey, Will Broder. Elder Miles. The
best substantiated theory of the acci-
dent is that the men had been murdered
and then burned.

the appointment of Mr.. Erwin. The
farmers had now an opportunity of
showing the true condition of the hand
ling of grain in the elevators. The
farmers asked that MIR. Erwin be re-
tanned to prosecute, not because they
had no confidence in the attorney gem
eral, or did not believe in his ability,
but because Mr.. Erwin had gone deeply
into the matter, and his knowledge
would be of great value to The COM
munity.
Mr.. Seyatson did not like to hear it
said that the farmers demanded Mr.
Erwing. There were lots OF farmers
who wanted this investigation, and yet
desired that it should be conducted by
the proper legal officers.

explain everything.
From the fact no 15-cent postage
stamps have been sold in Boston for a
year, and from statements made by the
stamp clerks at the Providence post
office, almost positive proof is secured
that the l5-cent stamps upon the poison
package were procured at the postoffice
in this city.
Boston, May At is stated that the
Barnaby case has now been placed in
the hands of the Boston detective bu-
reau, and has therefore reached the

and every person who has figured in the
case has been instructed to keep silent.
1t is said also that the Providence post
office called for 15-cent stamps from
Washington while ago, and with the
new green ones came lot of the pale
reds. The five stamps on the package
OF poison were OF the pale or orange red

this was pertinent and animated.
Z. +. Barrett moved that w. ". En-
win be retained to conduct the legal part
OF the Investigation for the committee.
Mr.. Moore seconded.
MIR. SevatSon moved to substitute the
attorney general.
MIR. Smith seconded, adding II was es-
pecIally proper for the committee TO
call upon the proper legal officer of the
state to conduct the examination. He
did not question the ability of MIR.
Erwin; but he thought the only proper
action they could take, not only to save
expense, but TO save the reputation of
the state, that the attorney general-the
legal adviser OF the state-should De
be called upon to prosecute this inVesti-
cation as far as the services of an attor-
ney were needed. If there was any
reason why Attorney General Clapp
should not conduct the examination If
he was not capable OF doing it he should
like to know. But ne did not know of
any, and considered the selection of any
other attorney would he slight upon
the attorney generals Office.
Z. +. Barrett did not wish to cast any
reflection upon the attorney generals
abllity,but questioned whether he could
spare the time from his Office to give
proper attention To the investigation.
Besides, Mr.. Erwin knew the full facts
OF the previous Investigation, and was,
therefore, especially fitted to conduct
the examination.
MIR. Smith-What compensation did Mr..
Erwin receive?
7. h. Barrett-Fifteen dollars per day.
Mr.. Seyatson said his constituents
had complained against the heavy ex-
penses OF the legislature, and one of the
Ci IaH nttf A nnn
prlatlOn for that investigation. Now he
did not want the committee 10 use I'D
all that money. The attorney general
was salaried officer of the slate. BY
calling upon him the committee would
save this SIS day foI an attorney. The
attorney general had been asked IL
he would undertake the work, and re-
piled: Certainly will do so. Ii is
my duty"
The Farmers Demand

allowed to speak.
Permission was granted.
MIR. McGhee stated that the Farmers
Alliance officially demanded the retain
ing of Mr.. Erwin.
Mr.; Smith-It seems to me that we want TO
avoid the charge OF partisanship: that this
is no: partisan investigation. think that
the proper way is not to heed the behests Of
any one party but to look to the legal officer
of the state.
=. E. Barrett renewed his plea for
Mr.. Erwin. The attorney general could
not devote proper attention to the inves-
tigation.
Mr.. smith-How do you know? He says he
can.
P. f. Barrett-He canuor attend at all He
must employ extra help. lie cannot leave
