 and Now the Whites Have Been Warned by the Negroes to Leave.
 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1S.-A report has just reached the city that an uprising of negroes has occurred in Jefferson parish and that they are firing into the houses of the whites. A body of mounted police has gone to the scene.
 Another report says that the negroes are massing at Camp Parapet and arming with the intention of slaughtering the white people in that section. The whites in the rear near the swamps have been served with notices to leave and many have aban- dOned their homes.
 The cause is that there has been a triple lynching almost within the shadow of the city. The victims of the vengeance of the mob were three negro brothers named Julian, and the crime which they expiated in so summary manner was the shielding of a fourth brother, Roselius Ju- lan, who on Friday afternoon shot Judge Victor Estopinal to death while the latter WAS trying him for a trivial offense, seri- Ously wounded the judges son and then made good his escape.
 The negro reached his cabin and provided himself with ammunition, grabbing up a valise and a winchester rife. It was from this rife that he fired the two shots by which young Estopinal was wounded
 The Whole Family Arrested.
 The negro made for the swamps in the rear of the city and being perfectly familiar with them was soon in safe hiding Posses were immediately organized, and all night and all the next day the surrounding cOun- try was secured. but the searching Was fruitless so far as the real criminal was concerned. The mother, two brothers and two sisters of the negro Roselius were ar rested at the Black Ridge, in the rear of the city, by the city police, and were taken to the little jail on Judge Estopinal's place above Southport. Another brother was arrested later in the day in the same neigh boorhood and taken to the same jail
 Toward nightfall the men who had been out man hunting all day, and having met with no success, thought they had ire quently been sent on wild goose chases and began to grow fretful. As the darkness thickened around them their fretfulneSs grew into desperation. and they deter mined tu do something to compel the rela- tives of the fugitive to disclose his where aboutS
 The aroused pOpulace was generally in fla vOr of taking no harsh action against the females. but as to the males they appeared determined to string them up or make them talk
 About II o'clock body consisting of about 25 men, some armed with rifles and shotguns, came up to the jail and lit a Ian tern. They unlocked the door and then held conference among themselves as to what they should do. Some were in favor of hanging the whole five, while others raised objections and insisted that only two of the brothers, the short one and the tall one. Nalsin and Bakile, should be taken out and strung up. This was finally agreed to. a l several of the men went into the jail, Ad coming out brought with them the T. across to q pasture 100 yards distant and were asked to take their last chance of say ing their lives by making confession.
 Saw His Brother Hanged.
 The negroes made no reply. They were then told tu kneel down and pray. One did So. the other remained standing. but both prayed fervently.
 The taller negro was then hoisted up He remained hanging fully five minutes before the second one was hanged. The shorter negro stood gazing at the horrible death of his brother without flinching.
 The mob remained at the place About half an hour. when some one suggested that they go hack and hang the three oth- CTS. This was opposed by several, but it was finally decided that they should go back and take the remaining brother out to Camp Parapet and hang him there. The other two were to he taken out and flogged
 
 less than half an hour. The mob then started hack to the jail 10 put their threats into execution.
 The third brother, Paul, was taken to the camp. which is about a mile distant ill the interior. and there he was hanged to tree, his body hanging in full view of a morbid crowd during the day, as a warn ing to the negroes that they cannot go about killing white people, as one of the members of the mob put it.
 The lynching was conducted very quietly. and not a shot was fired during the entire proceedings. In the meantime the real murderer is at liberty, and his brothers who died to save him from the fate which they met will soon he resting in unmarked graVe>. heroes of peculiarly distinctive type.

 Julian was supporter of Houston. 6. were nearly all the negroes, and since Houstons defeat there had been bad blood between the opposing parties, and trouble had been expected for long time.
