The End of a BIG Eight.

QUITMAN, GA, May 3.-The famous
Arrington-Lane case was finally disposed
of to-day by beng nolle prosecuted.
Capt. William Ia nmond, attorney for

Niggers with a Razor.

A few days ago, in fit of anger, a
negro jerked out a very huge razor,
to the CONSERVATION of some of his
kind who were near him. A razor is
certainly concealed weapon until negro
jerks it out and disembowels somebody,
yet negro caught with razor in his
inside pocket is not punished for it. A
razor is more deadly than a gun or pis-
toll 1t never misses fire, and razors
on bad niggers ought to be declared
concealed weapons by law. In its APP
plication it should be the same with the
chad white man."

sTryENs MAKES A PROPOSE rION
TO COLONEL WOOTEN

=, the Interest of HarmOny--Mr. Stevens
Letter and Colonel Wooten's Reply.
# seems that the congressional cam
,oign in this district will be fought to
the bitter end.
There appears to be no hope for har-
nony, nor desire for it by some of the
neople of the district
On Monday of last week W. Y. Atkin-
son chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, wired both Col
onel Wooten and Mr. Stevens to meet
him in Macon that night for a cOnsulta-
ton. each to be accompanied by friend.
Mr.. Stevens, accompanied by DR..
Goneke as his friend, went to Macon and
met Colonel Atkinson, but Colonel
Wooten did not appear.
Upon his return home Mr.. Stevens,
who already has twelve delegates, having
carried every county that has yet acted,
wrote Colonel Wooten a letter re-
ouesting that gentleman to join him
in asking the State executive COM
mittee to pass upon the issue raised
bv the district committee in requiring all
the counties to select delegates on the
same date-July Both, agreeing to abide
the result, even if it cost him all the del
egates that have been instructed for him,
Colonel Wooten refused to join Mr..
Stevens in the move.
The concessions that Mr.. Stevens pro-
posed to make even, at the risk of sacri-
ticing his own interests, show that he is
deeply concerned in keeping the party
together, and if there is a split before
the campaign ends it cannot now be
charged to him,
Below is the correspondence between
the two gentlemen:
DAWSON, GA, May 10, 1892,

vision in the democratic party in the

that reason write you this communica-
ton. My friends insist that each county

delegates, and net the congressional

Difference Between Canadian and American
Burglary Gives Hin His Liberty

By order Of Judge Collins. of Chicago.
Thomas Litzenbere. has been discharged
from the Cook county jail. He ls the
nephew of ex-Vice-president Hendricks
and was arrested In July. 1891. on a charge
of burglary. On the 25th of that month
Litzenberg was caught in the house of Ed
ward Huliug, at Thirty ninth street and
Grand boulevard. Chicago.
Mrs. Hendricks came to his aid and gave,
Ii Is said, q certain law firm 81 900 to de-
fend him and to get bail for him. They
did the latter, and then Litzenberg fled to
Canada. The bonds were forfeited, but
never been able. however, to locate the
straw-bailers. Litzenberg's flight proved
to he the means of his salvation. He was
arrested, and, after legal fight in which
the Queens prosecutor defended him. he
was extradited.
Mrs. Hendricks stuck to her wayward
nephew and engaged new attorney, who
short time ago argued motion before
Judge Collins for LItzenberg's discharge.
His ground was that he had been illegally
extradited. The ofiense for which he was
brought back was burglary. and he was in
dicted here for burglary. His attorney,
however, held that the burglary known in
our st tatutes was a far different crime from
the common law burglary of Canada q
Great Britain. He could not be tried ex-
cept for the crime for which he was ex-
tradited. and, therefore. the Indictment
was void.
Judge Collins held this good reasoning,
and remarked that ii taken back TO Canada
Litzenberg could not be tried on the in
dictment found here.
The case mt the time of the mans arrest
excited considerable interest from the
standing of the defendants family. On hi,
release Litzenberg stated that he was gong
to turn over n new leaf, and attempt 70 re
gain his stan ding in society.
