But Rescued in Time and Taken
Back to Jail.

SHELBYVILLE,. Tenn, June IL
Especial The horrible murder OF
Mrs. Bates last Friday, near Shelby
Vile, was avenged this morning at
1890 O'Clock when 800 men, from
Haley and Rowesville, and the country
surrounding, assisted by few
ShelbyvIlle citizens, went to the
Bedford County gail, forced the
Sheriff to surrender the murderer w.
B. Bates, dragged him through the
streets of the town and hanged him
to a tree in the court house yard.
Between and 1e O'Clock men from
Haley and vicinity began to arrive in
Shelbyville, singly and in squads,
and it became 1umored around that
they intended lynehing Bates.
The men and boys of Shelbyville
began to congregate on the square
and about the Jail. About 1890 the
mob moved to the Jail. They were
met at the Jail entrance by Sheriff
Moore and two deputies, who refused
90 surrender the prisoner or give up
up the keys to the Jail.
The Sheriff was overpOwered, the
keys taken from him and the jail en-
tered.
Willing hands among the now
bowling and excited mob gathered
Bates, placed a ready rope about his
neck and the mob started for the
square.
Pleading and crying, the miserable
wretch was dragged through the
streets to his doom. IN answer to his
cries for mercy the men waived their
hats, took fresh grip Gu the rope and
shouted
When the courthouse was reached
ceremony was dispersed with and
Bates was hanged to tree near the
gate.
The mob then went back to the
Jail and got Scott Bates, the muir
derer's father, and strung him up,
but ShelbyVille citizens interfered in
time to prevent his death and he was
taken back to Jail.
Bates, the man who was hanged,
was accused of numbering his wife
last Friday near ShelbyvilIe, and the
evidence against him was convincing
of his guilt.
The sentiment in and around
SheIbyville is that nothing bat justice
was done. The mob wore no masks
and made no attempt whatever to
disguise themselves. 1t was led by
prominent citizens.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-The
announcement from Washington that

CIeveIand's choice as chairman of the

the opinion that no better selection

COMMUNICATED.

An article in the local column Of the
GAZETTE OF the 2Sth inst. under the
caption of the Federal Offices" has
occasioncd much comment in the city,
aud, if based upon facts, has justly ex-
cited surprise and aroused considerable
indignation. Can it DC true that Mr..
Meredith stated that in the distribution
octhc .'loaves and fishes" he would be
guided to Il considerable extent by the
recommendation of the city committee,
that said committee had previously de-
cided upon the unit rule" and has
since endorsed the petition of Mr.. J. A.
Marshall for the postmastership? If so,
kindly inform your readers upon what
meat doth these our Caesars feed, &c.
Does SIR. Meredith assume that the
right persons who were appointed by
the democratic voters a committee TO
attend to the ordinary routine of an
election contest are clothed with the
power TO designate who shall receive
appointments to federal offices in our
midst? Does the aforesaid committee
a!roSate 10 ltScli the authority OF I'M
portance Of designating the persons
whom the democratic voters prefer to
honor in the selection Of federal officers
and does the said committee expect any
more weight is to be attached to its
unit rule" recommendations, by the
appointing power, than would be ac-
corded to the recommendation of eight,
or lightweight, other reputable demo-
Gratis who may differ with said commit
tee? Why, it is incredulous that Mr..
Meredith should suppose he was elect
ed $50 far as the vote Of Alexandria is
concerned by the city committee or
that said committee is in any manner
authorized by the democratic masses to
speak for them in matters of appoint
mcnt 10 federal offices. Oh, no, the
voters will have say in this matter,
through Mr. Meredith, if possible, but
they will certainly be heard from, even
without the cooperation of the city
committee or Mr.. Meredith. Itmatters
not who may get the federal offices, but
they must be those whom the people
want or there will be lively music in
the air. DEMOCRAT.

NEW CASTLE, Col, Nov. 3o.-About
9 a. M, yesterday stone weighing
probably ten tons fell from the sky,
striking the earth a mile northeast of
this town. There were no witnesses,
as far as known, to the motors fall, but
the fact that it sunk deep into the
earth and was in q heated condition
when discovered, leaves no doubt in
the minds of the inhabitants as to where
it came from, and great excitement
exists. The stone is slate colored and
the people are convinced that it drop
ped from the much talked Of comet.
