News of Interest.

montgomery, Ala, December Ao.~Vopo
cial.)-Tonight full particulars were re-
ceived of the capture of one, Kelley, wnlte'
who John Hip, a blind tiger man
ally, aid and accomplice in the murder OF
Collector Armstrong The Greenville cor
respondent very reliable party, says:
'"Those two men did it beyond any question
or shadow of doubt, and l am SATISFIED
that confession will be had from one OF
them before another week rolls around
The proof against them is clear. strong and
conclusive and all the little links iii the
chain of their guilt are becoming stronger
day by day. Hip is still alive and up
walking around, and does not show any
symptoms that he will die, though the doc
tor says his worst time has not yet come
He now maintains Il stoical indifference,
and refuses to divulge anything at all but
there is no doubt that Kelley will open up
and tell all about the most diabocal muir
der that has disgraced our county i'll years.
Prompt Action Taken.
AS soon as the news came to Greenville
of the murder of Armstrong Nj arshal
Porterfeld promptly came to the conclu-
sion that tn ecrime could be properly laid
at the door of Hip, so he at once got up his
posse and bent his energies to accommodating
proof for the arrest of Hip. He repaired
at once to that section of the county where
Hip lived and has been committing his
despredation, and finally succeeded in get
ting up proof enough to satisfy himself
that Hip was then eight miles from Durham.
Porterfeld conceived the idea that Hip
would wait for it on the road near by, so he,
with Messrs. J. o. Bryan, e. w. Bryan, {,
II Williams, Tom Owen and Sheriff Berga-
nier piled up the wood in the front part of
the tender and secreted themselves in the
tender.
g.le Arrest Made.
When about two miles from Durham
Hip approached and tagged the train down,
and placed his gun on the top of the pilot.
Just then he looked up and saw Porterheld,
and reached for his gun to shoot him, but
Porterfield was too quick for him, and shot
him through the cab window, portion of
his load lodging in his face and head. He
fell to the ground, and was then taken to
Durham, brought here and lodged in jail,
where he now is.
!. ro,her = rrested
A brother of his, named Stokes, was also
brought here and jailed, but the prevailing
opinion is that Stokes is not connected with
it, but he may know something. Since the
capture of Hip the possess have been dill
capture of Hip the posse have been dill
gently searching, for Kelley, his aid and ac-
complice, and yesterday they got him over
in Monroe county, and he was brought in
here and jailed this morning so we now have
the murdererS of Armstrong beyond any
doubt. Considerable excitement prevails
here, and there is some lynch talk, but it
is believed now that cooling time has past
and the people will be satisfied for the law
to take its course.

ed on the chest. He was taken to a hos
pital, where his injured limbs were ampu-
tated. He lay unconscious for twenty
minutes and then he died.
The walls of the detective office were
cracked by the force of the explosion. and
all the windows and window frames were
broken. AT the spot where the Internal
machine exploded. the fagging of the
courtyard, was torn up for several feet
and great hole was eXcavated in the
arch. Apparently Synnot had kicked or
otherwise moved the machine away from
the wall of the building, and this very
much lessened the damage to the structure.
In the interior all the are strewn
with broken plaster and Splinters of glass.
There have been DO arrests in connection
with the outrage, nor have any clues been
discovered, though the police are seeking
to ferret out the guilty. The first report
mat the explosion was a political outrage
We're deprecated by the police.
The general opinion is that
the bomb Internal machine
was placed by person with personal spite
against the detective force.
All day people from different parts of the
city and outlying villages have gathered in
crowds near the place. Immediately after
the explosion somebody ran through the
city spreading the report that John Nor
ley, the Irish secretary, who was passing the
office at the time of the explosion, had
been thrown to the ground and was suffer-
from of
friends of Mr.. Morley. who were not in
formed as to his whereabouts, came run
ming to the office to inquire after his in
juries.
The only person severely injured was
the detective who died Three men and
woman in side street about a hundred
yards off were thrown to the ground and
remained unconscious for snyeral minutes
