THE COUNTY COURT.
Conclusion Of the Corporation Tax
Cases and Other Business.

County Judge Williams on Saturday
and Monday disposed of the rest OF
the cases against the corporations for
county taxes, and granted appeals in
all of them to the Circuit Court. He
dismissed the cases against the De-
posit and Farmers Banks, and Adams
Express Company; also for 1891 and
1892 against the Frankfort Safety
Vault and Trust Company, all on the
ground that under the Hewitt law
they paid their taxes direct to the
State in lieu of all other taxation. For
1893 he assessed the Frankfort Safety
Vault & Trust Company at $15, 1850.
On account of an error in TRANSCRIPT
ing from the tax schedule, the John
Cochran Co.. IS assessment for 1898 was
reduced from $45, 900 to 10000.

Outrages Against Hebrews.


JACKSON. MISS, January 12.-There is
considerable excitement here over reports
Of outrages committed against wealthy
Jews in Southern Mississippi. II. Hillock,
of Pike county, has been the principal suf-
ferer at the hands of the White Caps.
Within the last two months he has lost
two houses bv fire, and his negro farm
hands have been ordered TO leave the
county. He now maintains an armed
guard at bis private residence to keep from
being burned out. Mr.. HIllock claims TO
have been damaged at least $4,000, and
says he will move TO New Orleans. The
negroes are being driven from all planta-
tions owned by Jews. and LABOR Is de-
mornlized.

[By telegraph to the Dispa,ch.l
CHKsTERrows. Mp., January 12.-All last
night. while heavy fakes of snow fell
thick and fast, special policemen patrolled
the town. dreading the visit of a lynching
party. But the indignant citizens did not
storm the jail. aud tho four negroes con-
demned to die tomorrow for the murder
of DIR. ]. II. Hill passed a restless night
in their cells. The rumors of lynching
had becoms so loud that the unfortunate
men heard them, and in consequence had
little inclination TO sleep. The removal OF
the other four men yesterday morn
ing through Governor Browns mterven-
ton made them more reflective, aud
during the night they thumbed their BIZ
bles continuously.
Excitement here and there throughout
the county Is at the highest pitch
and the difficulty of travelling over the
snow-bound roads is regarded generally ~
the main factor IN preventing the talked
OF lynchlng last night. The overwbelm-
ing sentiment throughout the county was
opposed 20 commutatiOn of any one OF
the sentences, and just as strong as that
opposition was so strong Is the feeling
against Governor Brown, who was hung

Two colored preachers we're with the

The negroes came to the iron-barred WIN
dows of their cells and listened 10 the
loud and prolonged exhortstions OF the
ministers. Then they prayed and sang
hour after hour. The murderers would
talls upon tnelr knees. shout. and yell
in a tuneful way the disconnected
sentences OF some hvmn. That the
four men are considered as hard q
lot of criminals as ever breathed
goes without saying. Not one particle of
sympathy exists for them in the hearts of
any Chestertownian. A posse c0mtd'us OF
$50 men went on duty to-day. relieving
the forty special officers VINO were stationed
around the jail last night. Sheriff Plum
mer says he does not anticipate trouble.
Nevertheless. ne deems it advisable TO
keep up the bodest possible front.

ENeLANDs COTTON STRIKE.
The negotiations Looking TO Agreement
Faii-Opposing Allegations.


ffiy Anglo-American cable TO the Dispstch.l
LONDON, January IA conference be-
tween representatives of the master spin
ners and of the operatives on strike
az ainst per cent. reduction IN wages
ended in disagreement to-day At Manches-
ter.
The representatives Of the operatives
offered to accept the reduction of 5 per
cent, provided the reduction should con-
tinue only as long as the mill should run
half time, full rates to be paid when the
mills resumed full time. To this the mas
ters delegates refused to agree. and.
deadlock ensuing. the strike will continue.
The employers are firm in asserting that
O reduction or wages Is necessary, and
many of them hold that even the reduc--
tion proposed Is not sufficient. IL is eaid
that IS per cent. of the private employers
will be glad TO get nd of their mills al
half their cost, so uuremunerative has the
business now become and 50 harsssed
are the masters by the incessant demands
OF their work-peoDle. IL is stated that
many millions of capital invested IN the
cottOn-spinning industry in Oldham are
not yielding at present an average return
OF per cent, and that Oldham Is an in
dex TO the condition of the whole indus
try and supplies an answer 10 those who
inquire why the masters should fight tor
so small a matter as per cent. in wages.
The operatives, on the other hand, claim
that the masters will have to yield ere
long that before February the stocks Will
have become exhausted aud the prices OF
yarn-cloth will have risen considerably.
The spinners and manufacturers will have
10 ask themselves whether theY can afford
10 allow the mills to remain idle any
longer.
Mr. Mawdsley. secretary of the opera
tive spinners' association, confidently as
serts that his association can maintain
their present attitude until Easter. The
position of the non -unlOnlsts who are out
Of employment, numbering fully 10000, Is,
however, very bad.

For VIII he Appropriated.

who returned Tuesday night from Wash

and several members Of his board, 70 urge

and review in Hampton Roads next Aprli;

thinks the money needed Tor tnls great
naval display will be gwen.
Colonel BufOrd when seen by DIS,
PATCH reporter yesterday afternoon SAID
that he, DR.. Brockenbrough; and Mr;
Gleunan, of the World's-Far Board, had
n very satisfactory interview with Mr..
Tracy, Secretary of the Navy, "Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. Tracy told them that ne
had made up an itemized statement OF the
necessary expense OF bringing our navy 70
cost the full amount asked for-S3OO, 900.
The vessels will have 10 be gathered from va
rious guarters-sOmetTOm the Pacific coast
MANY Of them will have 10 be fitted up and
their number Of men increased, and all OF
them will have 10 be heavily coaled. 10
proyide all Of this extra expense IN get
ting to Hampton Roads and the cost OF
staying there while waiting Tor the naYles
of other nations TO assemble would
amount by the lowest estimate TO the sum
named.
MATTER OF ENTERTAINMENT.
Mr.. Tracy was asked if out of that sum
il was expected TO furnish an entertain
ment for the officers of the American navy
and of the visiting vessels, to which he
replied that this item was not included.
II was not proposed. he added, to wine
and dine our own officers or the visitors
out of the government appropriation, ana IL
the Tidewater people proposed 10 enter
tain our guests. they would havs to raise
the funds therefor themselves. This, 1t
NAV be SAID. is the expectation OF the Deo-
pie of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport
News, Old Point, and all of that coast,
and il ia proposed. if the government
makes the Appropriation asked for, to put
up themselves a sufficient tund 10 enter
tain all the officers in a very handsome
manner. Ii is thought that something
like Sl0,0 will be subscribed. Mr. Tracy
expects there will be between TWENTY-FIVE
and thirty vessels of the United States
Navy in the rendezvous.
THE PRCsPECT FAVORABLE.
The prospect for the appropriation is
most favorable. The original bill pro-
vlding for the Worlds Fair embraced this
rendezvous and the review at New York
and directed the President to invite the
navies of the world to take part IN the
DISPLAY. This invitation was extended,
and some of the nations have accepted
and still Others are expected TO do so. The
$4,000 already appropriated has not yet
been spent. Nearly all of the Virginia
congressman are heartily IN favor OF Con-
gress giving the money asked for.

Died from the Blow.

Willis Brown, the negro who was struck
upon the head with bar of iron at Union
Depot last Monday morning by colored
man named John Henry Price, died yester-
day morning at his home, No. 723 north
TwCnty-ninth street, from the effects of
the injury received.
II was not at first thought that Brown
was badly hurt, though he was taken TO
the City Hospital for treatment.
When the case against Price was called
in the Police Court on Tuesday the exami-
nation was postponed until the 18th. Tho
charge of murder has now been preferred
against Price and will probably be heard
by Justice Crutchfied this morning. Coro-
ner Taylor and DR.. Bosher will maze an
autopsy at the dead mans house this
morning at 10 o'clock. The warrant
charging Price with murder was sworn
out by Squire Jones and issued by Justice
