Strung Up to Railroad Bridge by Will
ing Bands-They Had Outraged the
Person of a Feble white Woman.
ADMISSION, ALA, May 17.-On SatHr-
day night last d. c Bryant, a prosper
Gus farmer who lives five miles from
Childersburg, left home to go TO the vii
lage to attend a meeting. He had left
home frequently at night and lad no un-
easiness for the safety OF his family,
which consisted of his wife and two
children, particularly as the cook slept
in a small house near the residence.
Mrs. Bryant asked the cook TO sleep in
the house that night, but she gave some
reason and refused, and about o'clock
Mrs. Bryant and the children retired.
About l o'clock Mrs. Bryant was
awakened by some one coming In
through the window aud by thed
light which she had left burning she
could see buriy negro coming toward
her bed followed by two others. The
frightened woman screamed but hardly
had the sound been uttered before the
foremost negro struck her on the head
with pine knot with which he Knocked
her into insensibiity. The sleeping
children were awakened by the noise
but they were terrified into silence.
The brutes in turn committed the
hellish deed Tor which they came. Aft
er they had gone the children tried in
vain to arouse their mother and they
went to neighbor's house about 300
yards distant and told them what had
happened.
Mr.. Bryant came home about this
time and posse was at once organized
and went to look for the negroes. A
physician was summoned for Mrs.
Bryant but it seemed that all efforts
were useless. She was in very deli
cate condition, having for several weeks
this spring been patient at female
infrmary at Rome, Ga.
The search for her assailants was
without success until Yesterday after
noon, wien the cook got drunk and ex-
planned he whole affair and who Mrs.
Bryant'S assailants were. She told how
her brothers, Jim and Berry Roden,
had made her leave Mrs. Bryant's win
dow unfastened, and that though they
did not tell her what they wanted it
opened for, she formed her own con-
clusions.
A party Of infuriated citizens went
Immediately tn the home OF Roden,
about two miles distant, and arrested
the two negroes together with another
negro named Will Carter. who was with
them. Mrs. Bryant was still uncon-
scious, and they were put In Childers-
burg jail with guard OF 100 men over
them until this morning. when they
were taken before Mrs. Bryant, who, In

FAYETTEVILLE, w. VA, May 1.-THE
largest OutpOuring Of true Democracy met
at Fayetteville to-day 10 select delegates
10 the State, Congressional and Senatorial
Conventions. IL was one Of the old FASH
iOned and enthusiastic young mems farm
ers' laborers' and miners conventions.
The vast crowd commenced gathering
about 9 O'Clock aud fully five hundred
workers or the Democracy gathered to-
gether to hear the speeches OF Ex-Governor
f. w. Wilson aud Congressman j. ID. Al
derSOn. Fully four-hfths of the vast
crowd was fOrJ ID. Anderson for Congress.
After the speaking was concluded, the
crowd flied into the Court House, and
Chairman B. W. Moore, OF the Executive
Committee, recommended NJ. NJ. Warren
as chairman and Q. r. Summerfeld as
secretary. Col. j. W. st. Clair moved TO
postpone the appointment Of ali delegates
except to the convention, which PROPOSE
tiOn was voted down, and an agreement
reached by which the vote Of the county,
nineteen, was divided equally between
Messrs. Anderson and Wilson.
Anderson would have been entitled to
four-ffths of the votes II he had pressed
vote. The county instructed Solidly for
Wilson in 1870.
The county instructed for Col. w. A.
McCOrkle for Governor, e. T. Thompson
for Auditor, j. ID. Logan for State Senator,
and Col. ST Clair for the National Conven-
tion. Alderson's nomination is now con-
Ceded
While there was an earnest fight among
the Democrats before and in the conven-
ton, the most perfect harmony prevails
over the action of the convention.
Especial mention should be made Of the
fact that Anderson conceded TO Wilson
more votes than he was entitled to. AS Al
derSon expressed 10, he might need votes in
November worse than in the nominating
convention.
3. w. Moore in the interest OF harmony
would not permit his name as delegate 10
the National Convention against that OF
Col. St Clair although strongly pressed by
his friends 10 do so. MIR. Moore is whole
SOuld, self-Sacrifcing and deserving Demo
crat. His action was commended aud If
Democrats are grateful he will be remem-
bered in the future. The Republicans who
have expected friction, disorganization and
lack of harmony among the Fayette Demo
Gratis are disappointed.

EIkins Gone to New York to Try to Win
Over Some of the Delegates.
Special Telegram 10 the Rs0tster.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.-THE
anti-Harrison Republicans here have
been holding more conferences for the
purpose OF determining what sort OF
ground they are standing on. With all
their hopes placed in Blaine they are
made very anxious by the doubt in
which he keeps them. They have re-
doubled their efforts within the past two
days TO get some expression OF opinion
or indication OF purpose from him, but
they have failed to get anything fresh.
II Blaine really wants TO try 1t again,
he probably can't shake off the cOnvic-
tion he expressed some weeks ago that
he could never be elected with Harri-
son in the White House using the whole
weight OF the Federal Government to
block his path.
Secretary Elkins has gone over to
New York again, the suppoSition is, to
see the Harrison leaders there for the
purpose Of trying TO bring more of
the delegates from that State
into line for the President. 1t is
said Mr.. Elkins was armed with Statis-
tics showing that Harrisons nomina-
tion could not be prevented now by
anything the opposition might do; that
he would have clear and safe majority
of the delegates on the first ballot at
Minneapolis, and that those who wished
to get on the winning side had better
do so without furder delay. With ar
guments such as these, and others
which the aStute Secretary knows well
how to use, he expects to draw away
from Boss Patt some OF the New York

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA
North Carolina colored man, giving the
name OF Williams, who is in jail here,
is said to be Harrison delegate to the
Minneapolis Convention. He was ar
rested a few days ago on telegram
from the North Carolina authorities
charging him. with forgery. He will
be held here until al officer
arrives from North Carolina
with requisition from the
Governor OF that State. II is not
believed Harrison's friends here will do
anything for him, because the story
goes that at the time Of his arrest he
was on his way North to seek an inter
view with General Alger. This is re-
garde1, no doubt, as evidence that the
colored brother, although elected as a
Harrison delegate, was going TO try to
sell out. He had probably heard the
story of Alger's heavy investments in
Southern delegates to the last Republi-
can convention,

On the coast of Kamchatka there is
an island known as THE Island of Talk
ing Dogs" The curious story connected
with this little spot Of land, and the one
which gives it the name it bears is this,
according to an odd Asiatic legend:
The first inhabitants of the far north
did not employ dogs, but drew their
walrus rib sleds themselves. After ages
had elapsed men made an attempt touse
the dogs of that regiou-which, by the
way, talked just as men do-as beasts of
burden. The talking dogs, however,
argued the case with their would be
masters and were not long in proving
that they had enough to do to catch
game for themselves and the children OF
men. But the men soon learned the use
of the bow and the spear, thus running
the occupation of the talking dogs
Again an attempt was made to harness
them to sledges, bat the talking CANNES
rebelled, and all swan out to the island
afterward known by the title given III
the opening, Here game was scarce
and the dogs soon turned cannibals, and
by the end of the first winter there were
only seven left.
Some human Kamchatkans volun-
teered to row out to the island and bring
of the remnant of the dog colony. But
the dogs refused to leave their barren
island, each earnestly asking: "What
people are you? We have never seen
you before" For this untruth Chalni,
the dog god, took their voices from
them, and until this day they have been
the dumb servants of man.--St. Louis
