Tampering with American Jurles.

Tampering With American Juries.
Seven years ago on the 2sth Of
March, 1884, began the famous riot
in Cincinnati. The worst outbreak
occurred on Saturday night, March
20. The damage done cost the
state Of Ohio something like mil
lion dollars and the loss of many
valuable records. Forty-five per-
sons we're killed and 13S wounded /,
according to the best information.
The riot was on account of pub
lie dissatisfaction with the verdict
rendered by the jury in the the case
OF the negro murderer Berner. I be
murder was Of peculiarly aggraya-
ted nature, and public sentiment
had decided that Berner ought to
hang. When, therefore, the verdict
Of manslaughter was brought in by
the jury the dissatisfaction gathered
like a great thunder cloud. Charges
were general that the jury had been
tempered with and unduly infuenc-
ed. The mob rose and wreaked
vengeance accordingly.
The jury got out Of the way as
best they might. and it was before
the foreman dared to return to Gin
cinnati.
This great jury mob and riot oc-
CURED because the public believed
the jury's verdict was an upright.
eous one, obtained by unrighteous
means. In the same month, March
on the same day of the week, just
seven years later, came the mob
tragedy in New Orleans for exactly
the same cause-vengeance for what
was believed to be an unrighteous
jury verdict in a murder case. 1t is
to be hoped that more than seven
years will elapse before such trsg.
edy occurs in America again. But
perhaps juries will now begin to take
warning.

On last Monday night the house of
lack White, colored, living near the Mer-
edith gin, was burned to the ground.
Tuesday morning, about o'clock. the
citizens of Colfax we're alarmed by vio-
lent ringing OF the court house bell and
the cry OF ''fire." In the space Of two or
three minutes large crowd gathered in
and around the house Of Mr.. r. 81. Will
hanson, from which the smoke was pour
ing in great clouds. Fortunately the fire
was located and intelliGently donsed with
bucket or two Of water by Miss Kinda
Williamson before great deal OF dam
age was done, and with the aid of many
ready hands it was soon completely ex-
tinguished. A pair OF burnt window our
tains. charred bureau, and about ten
square feet OF burnt ceiling, and hole
or two chopped through the walls, is the
bill OF damages, except that Mr.. w. C.
Roberts had two or three "biled" shirts
rlther badly mussed IN the close call.
BysUM PLACE, October a. 1891.
Editor CoIfar Chronicle:
The Bynum gin house was burned last
night. There was about twelve bales III
seed cotton burned in tue house, and $50
bushels of cotton ssed. The engine Was
badly damaged. Those who lost cotton
were, Waiter Ryan 8 bales, George An
derson bales, John Reuben II bales,
Louis Pettiway IL bales. Frank Hagan
lost 200 bushels OF cotton seed, and about
lj0 bushels belonging to other parties
we're burned. The FIRE was discovered
between and 8 o'clock, but was already
beyond control. 1t was undoubtedly the
work Ut an incendiary, as there were sew
erai persons around the gin house after
dark. The people who were at the gin
house after dark cay there was no fire to
be seen then. The FIRE started in the
northwest corner Of the house.
W. w. BALLIo.
The above note was handed to this edi-
tor Tuesday morning, while on the way
to the gin to look after this very cotton,
in which he had an interest amounting
to moro than $3.50, and it was therefore
interesting If not cheerful news to him.
The building and gin stand were covered
by insurance, but the cotton was not.

HIS LAST BATTLE.
Gen. William Tecumseh Sher-
man Dies in New York
After an Illness of But Few
Days Duration.

The Protector and Leader OF the Memoir
able March from Atlanta to the Sea
Makes a Hard Fight with the Great
Destroyer, but is Ultimately Compelled
to Surrender at the Age of "a.
New YORK, Feb. 16.--At o'clock
Saturday morning a great change took
place in Gen. Sherman's condition, and
it was believed that he was fast ap-
preaching his end. His family were all
summoned and gathered about his bed
side. Those who were present at that
hour were Drs. Alexander and Greene,
Senator Sherman, p. T. Sherman, Lieut..
Thackara, Lieut.. Fitch, Private Secre-
tary Barrett, Gen. Thomas Ewing, Mrs.
Thackara, Mrs. Fitch, Miss Lizzie and
Miss Rachael Sherman and Mrs. Colgate
Hoyt.
AT that hour Gen. Sherman was fever
ish and very uneasy, and his breathing
was labored and rapid. From then un-
til 5:95 a. m, there was no sign Of life
about the house. At $3.50 Secretary Bar
rett sent message to Dr. Greene stat
ing that the general had had another re-
lapse, and the doctor arrived at the
Sherman mansion Immediately after
ward.
Mr.. Barrett then came to the door and
said to reporter ''The general has
just had very alarming attack and we
fear the end is approaching The trou-
BILE is due to the contested condition Of
his lungs, and after a violent fit of
coughing, in which he seemed to suffer
great pain he had an alarming sinking
turn
At o'clock Drs Alexander and
Green had consultation and all the
known remedies were applied to relieve
the patients suffering, The glands of
the throat were very much swollen and
the accumulation of mucus was so
great that the patient was unable to
throw it off by reason of his declining
strength.
At 10 o'clock the general was sinking
rapidly and the end was expected soon.
The patient gradually grew worse
until 200 p. m. when he breathed his
last
The news of the death of Gen. Sher-
man was conveyed to the reporters by
the policeman who stood on guard out
side the house. Shortly after 80 D. m,
servant came from the house and told
the officer that the general had passed
away, Some doubt as to the authentic
ity OF the report was expressed, but tho
officer said it was official.
None of the family came from the
s.,4 10 e.,
