to town for Identification, but until 3

thought the negro is Jacob Hope. Near the
place where the body was found were
three empty 3S-caliber Winchester

to believe the killing was done by Harmon
Murray, the outlaw, as Murray has been in

recognized at Agnews lime kiln Tuesday

at work that there was dead Niger" over
in the woods; then picking his Winchester
out of the bushes, he departed. There is

ATHENS. GA, Aug. 26.-Last night ne
gro burglar forcibly entered the residence Of
DR.. W. B. Steedly and began pillaging a room
where his daughter and a visiting lady
friend were sleeping. His movements
aroused the young ladies, who dashed down
stairs screaming TO their father for assist
ance. DR.. Steedly, without arms OF any
kind, invaded the room and after plodding
around In the dark detected the negro con-
cealed in the closet. At she imminent risk
of his person he reached in and pulled the
man out, drawing him almost by main
force down the stairs on the back porch,
where, first ascertaining that he was not
armed, he secured rope and knotting it
heavily he made the negro partially dis
robe, and applied the lash for over $50
times. The negro gave his name as Jim,
and with this slight clew there was but
narrow chance of his apprehension. Dr.

BURGLARS AND FIRE.

REYNOLDS, Aug. 26-burglars entered
the stores of J. n. Bryan & Co. and E. A.
Goddard and the depot of the Central Rail-
road Company last night. They secured
nickel from Mr. Goddars and about so
cents from the depot, but their booty was
much larger from Bryan & Co.'S They
went into the wagon house of Mr.. g. I.
Ruffin and secured a one-horse wagon and
hitched up horse belonging TO Mr. Pors
and put the iron safe Of Bryan & Co. on
it and carried 1t about a mile from town
and with railroad pick broke open the
door, completely running 1t. In the safe
they found about s. or So. They then left
all papers, books, etc., unframed. The
horse aud wagon were found on the streets
yesterday morning. The goods were not
touched in either of the stores or at the de-
pot. There is no clue to the burglars.
On Sunday the alarm of fire was raised,
and an Investigation proved it to be cotton
in the warehouse of Griffin e Frubick. The
building was q fireproot one, and all the
damage done was the burning Of four bales
OF cotton. The theory is that the fire caught
from a spark at the gin and was not discov-
cred before Sunday morning.
Although the stay law is dead it might
be well to say that the sentiment of Taylor
county is overwhelmingly against any such
measure. Mr.. Montgomery, who intro
duoed the bill, is from this county. Those
who asked him to introduce it composed

THE RABBI KILLS THE BEEF.

A New Order OF Things Among Orthodox
Jews Since Rev. Blocks Coming.
Since Rabbi Block has arrived in Roa-
noke and taken charge of the Jewish
Synagogue he has turned over new
leaf among the followers OF Moses, and
is now compelling the fulfillment Of an
established law, but one which is not
generally known to tie public, at least
in Roanoke.
selections of meats, Rabbi Blocks COM
ing is boon. He is to kill all the beef
used in the Jewish families, and for that
purpose is supplied with knife two feet
long. NJ, Rensch, of the city market,
has agreed to furnish the beef, and the
rabbi goes to his slaughter house every
day and Stays the animals. There is no
staving its head in with an axe. Tho
throat is cut by two motions of the
knife. One sewers the windpipe and the
other the large artery, and the beef
bleeds to death. After it is opened the
rabbi examines the liver and other
anatomical parts and decides whether
or not the beef is sound When it is
the Rabbi stamps it in red wax, as fol-
lows:

scheme would have failed. There is no
city in the world better protected than
Washington. The plan by which the
streets converge into circle at inter
walls enables the authorities to plant
batteries in the circles and sweep the
thoroughfarcs of rioters. This plan.
credited to the combined thought of
Washington and Lafayette, was adopt
ed in the reconstruction of Paris by Ma
pOleon III.
Then the fire department of Wash
ington is of n first-class order, and as
for troops, they abound. Besides the
large guard of mon armed with Win
chcstcrs and revolvers within the capt.
tol and the fact that many of the treas
ury male employees have organized n
MALTA company to rcpcl raiders, sew
eral thousand troops can be brought in
to service here in less than an hour.
The Washington militia numbers 1000
men, and within half an hours march
is the arsenal when 500 veteran artil-
lerymen can be summoned by tele-
phone. Two experienced troops of
cavalrymen stationed at Arlington are
available for immediate service, while
from the marine barrclls 800 of the best
drilled men living could be obtained.
Calling and Hotchlsiss, to say nothing
of heavier guns, are plentiful. More
over, the mounted police are ex-cavalry-
men and all the patrolmen have served
in the United States army.
If this force isn't enough to put a
damper on the spirits of the rioters, n
couple of batteries of the regular army
can be obtained from baltimore in forty
minutes and large force of marines
and sailors from Annapolis in less than
one hour. So that, take it all into con-
sideration, the probabilities of raid on
the United States treasury succeeding
are very small.
