TR0UP'S DARK TRAGEDY.
THE MURDERER OF MRS. PRArHER
IN JAIL AT COLUMBUS.

He Says Two Negresses Were at the
Bottom of the Crlme-He Denies
That He Outraged His Victim Be-
fore Killing Her-Realizes His Pre-
dicament.
COLUMBUS, Ca, Sept. 26-Capt. Hem
derson, sheriff OF Troup county, reached
Columbus by the Opelika train this after
noon, having in charge Allen Bray, negro
brute, charged with ravishing and murder
ing Mrs, Jack Prather Of Troup county last
Wednesday. Capt Henderson was met at
the depot by Deputy Sheriff McMichael,
and in few minutes Bray was safe behind
the bars at the county jail. where he was
seen by a reporter. Bray is large black
negro, Of average intelligence for his race.
BRAY's STATEMENT.
He made full statement of killing Mrs.
Prather in tremulous tones. indicating that
he realizes the terrible punishment that will
be meted out TO him "Frances Thrash and
Winnie Eatts, two women l support, have
been threatening to kill Mrs. Prather for a
year." he said. "wednesday morning
about s o'clock me, and Frances and w in
ME went up the blind lane to the we'll and
then in the front gate next TO the road.
Frances struck Mrs. Prather on the head
with broom~handle. / caught hold Of her
and then Winnie helped me choke her to
death"
HOW HE BECAME IMPLICATED.
"How came you to have anything to do
with the killingm asked the reporter
81 was supporting Frances and Winnie,n
he replied, land they hired me TO help kill
her. They said they would give me half Of
the money they got from Mrs. Prather and
half the cotton they. made on their cotton
petchesn
Didn't you know what a terrible thing
you were doingg asked the reporter"
''Not exactly at the time," was the reply.
''But know now."
Continuing his story Bray said he staid
outside and watched while the two women
searched the house. He says they did not
find any mouey.
OUTRAGE DENIED.
How about the report that you COM
mitted an outrage on the person Of Mrs
PratherF questioned the reporter.
THAT is wrong" was the quick reply. ~
have told you all of the truth about how it
happened. Before God. l did not do that"
"You are in a terrible fix" remarked the
reporter. as he turned to leave the jail.
II know it, captain" he said, reaching
out his hands through the bar, and in a
husky tone he continued: "Dou't be shame
to shake hands with me. captain. know
its going hard with me. / will take the
punishment as it comes"
Bray insisted on shaking hands with
Jaller Resdy. and then asked If he could get
some dinner, saying he was very hungry.
CAME WITHOUT TROUBLE
Sheriff Henderson says he had no trouble
| in getting Bray here. He arrested the ne
| gro Wednesday and he denied all knowledge
/ of the killing until O,cIock vastardav a n.
ernoon, when he made a full confession.
Capt. Henderson says he did not like tho
looks Of things in LaGrange after the news
of Bray's confession spread, and concluded
that it was best to rush him Off to place Of
safety.
Bray is 49 years old aud was reared at
White Sulphur Springs, Meriwether county.

ROBBERS RAID A TOWN.

They Loot the Postofflce and Number
OF Stores.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. ga band Of
armed men has invaded the little village Of
San Antoine and looted the postoffice and a
number Of stores. An investigation shows
that the postoffice was entered and every
ounce Of mail matter carried Off, together
with sum Of money kept by the postmas
ter in small safe. Among the mail taken
was large number Of registered letters,
the value OF the contents Of which is un-
known. Two hard ware stores and black
smith shop in addition were found to have
been looted, everything they could find be-
ing carried away. The stuff taken, which
comprised the entire stock In trade
Of every merchant In the village, must
have been loaded into wagons and driven
into the deep woods surrounding the place.
From there the thieves evidently expect to
get into st. Joseph or Kansas City. When
tho excitement had cooled down, band Of
vigilsntes was formed and is now securing
the country in pursuit Of the raiders, who,
If caught, will probably not be called upon
to trouble q court of Justice

EUROPE AND rHE VATICAN.
The Pope's Attitude Toward the Dire
bund g Matter of Speculation.

The Pope's Attitude Toward the Drei-
bund a Matter of Speculation.
ROME, Sept. 26-Even during the life of
the pope one is always occupied as to the
coming conclave This question has lost
none of its interest, Notwithstanding the
events that have 80 profoundly changed the
lot of the papacy. The italian press con-
tinues TO occupy itself as it has done for
several weeks, with the question OF where
the next conclave Shall be held.
As there has been COM
plete reconciliation between the vatican
and the French republic, and as the former
has been charged with using its entire influ-
ence against the triple alliance, the question
OF where the conclave shall be held and what
influences shall control the election becomes
one of European Importance. In view OF
the declaration of Premier CriSpi in 1883,
that if the cardinals should abandonRom he
would at once occupy the vatican it does not
seem probable that any serious
attempt to hold conclave elsewhere will be
made. Beside, il a pope were to be elected
in foreign state how would he return to
Italy?
NOTE TO THE NUNcIoS.
A note of the vatican to the nuncios at
Berlin and Vienna, declaring malicious the
report tnaV bne pope had taken steps az afnst
the triple alliance 10 saidsto have irritated
greatly tue group who intended
that the pope should become an active
opponent of the alliance The note was well
received in Germany and Austria, but it
made bad impression in France, where Ii
was hoped to have him for an ally. Neither
was it we'll received by the vatican press in
Rome. which maintains the necessity of in
tlmate relations with France, upon which,
as the eldest daughter Of the church, it can
count for support in spiritual questions, and
urges policy Of open support of the re-
public in political questions and especially
as against the triple alliance.
PROTESTS OF THE PRESS.
The protests of the German Catholic press
against any meddling Of tho vatican in
politics and its unanimous support of the
foreign policy OF Germany, coupled with
the declaration that the devotion of German
Catholics to the interests of the fatherlaIid
could exist without prejudice to their de-
votlon to the holy father in spiritual
matters shows the danger that has been
been avoided. 1t is gravely asserted that
in the present state OF European politics a
different course from that taken by the
vatican might have provoked sentiment
In Germany sufficient to cause schism in
the church.
