A HUMAN DEVIL.
A Negro Commits Rape Upon a Miss
Phillips, Near Burlington.

BURLINGTON, n. c., May 22.-Sun-
eight O'Clock, as Miss Phillips, of the
Carolina Cotton Mills, was going home
from this side of the river where she
had spent the night with relatives,
she was assaulted by an unknown ne
gro, and after desperate struggle,
was raped by the demon. The ground
for yards around was trampled and
wallowed like horses had been loose,
and it was only by threatening to
shoot that he accomplished his pur-
pose. Her clothes were muddy from
head to foot. She hurried home and
gave'the alarm, which soon spread to
Burlington, three miles distant, and
to the neighbOring towns, and hun
dredS of men were soon securing the
country. The negro turned down the
river, on this side, into thicket of
underground, and all search seemed
futile.
Three OF four different negroes have
been captured and carried to Miss
Phillips, but she says they are not the
assailant. One negro, Mack Brown
ing, is held on account of the number
of tales he tells, and it is thought he
knows who the negro is that commit
ted the assault.
Miss Phillips Is nice girl, strong
and weighs probably 140 pounds. The
scene of the crime is on the public
road, in fact in the road, within half
a mile of either Carolina and Big
Falls Cotton Mills. The negro is de-
scribed as being stout, black negro,
| weighing $50 or 160 pounds, wearing a
faded brown suit with straw hat.
Parties are still searching, with no
positive clue, as they do not know who
! to look for. The human fiend would
have been lynched yesterday, if caught,
and it is possible that he may yet be
| made to pay the penalty of his dast-
| ardly deed. The people here are very
| much excited over the affair.
NEGRO ARRESTED IN GREENSBORO.
GREENSBORO, May PA negro
named SnipeS was arrested here last
| night, who answers to the description
| of the negro who assaulted Miss Phil
| lips. He has been placed in Jail to
await Identification.

Mr. r. j. Reynolds Fine Farm-Some
Well-Bred TrOtters.
A writer in the Richmond Times
has this to say of Mr.. R. j. Reynolds
farm and fine horses near Winston:
In the town of Winston extensive
manufactured tobacco interests -four
ish. 1t is here that Mr.. r. J. Rey-
nolds, the head of the large concern
known as the r. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, resides. A drive of one
mile out from town brings you to
we'll kept farm of 270 acres, owned by
Mr.. Reynolds, and on the place are
some well-bred trotters and the i'm
ported Germon Coach stallion, Young
Matador. The latter is a very large
horse and rather coarse though some
matured results of the experiment
have yet to be seen.
Major Sutton, bay colt, three
years old, by Sultan (2:24l, dam, Mag

worked for speed. His full sister,
Maggie Sultan, has record of 2:3O,
and is one of the most highly priced
| mares at the Forbes farm, in Massa-
| chusetts, where she has been bred
| this season to Arion (2:07 "a.
Antinett is a bay mare, six years
| old, by Sultan, dam Virgie Graves, by
| Almont Prince; grand dam, Fanny,
dam of Nelly O'Neils (2:22 1-2l, and
Katie Jackson (2:25 3-4). She is blood
! like, handsome mare, of high finish,
and should prove her worth, both in
| the stud and on the turf.
| Mamie Woods f2:20), the queen of
| two year-old trotters in her day, is a
| roam mare, ten years old, by Woods
Hambletonian, dam, Mary Ann, by
| Magnolia. She is in training at the
| Alamance farm, where she has been
bred to Baronet t2:19 3-4) and will be
campaigned again this season, and
should reduce her record. She was
purchased at the closing out sale OF
w. FL. Wilson's trotting stock, in
October, 1892, in foal to Simmons
| (2:28), and the result, a bay FLY, one
year old, is one of the gems of the col
lection at the Reynolds farm.

years old, by Petoskey, son of George
Wilkes dam by Homer, is snugly

Of :black mares, foaled In 1875, by
i Young Stonewall jackson, a saddle
bred stallion, served Mr.. Reynolds as
road team for dozen years or more
and could beat three minutes to the
pole, and doit In grand style. Mr.
Reynolds gaZed on them with linger
ing affection, as they strolled around
in a spacious grassy paddock, and re
marked that henceforth theirs shoul6
be life of ease and freedom from
servitude.
Mary Prescott, substantially-built
brown mare, four years old, and Mer
both by Sultan GA, are used as
road team, and can draw wagon at I

The heart of Mr.. Reynolds is with
the trotter, and it is probable that II
the near future he will collect stabl,

to dress. They fled to the hills in the

not been to Morehead City at all. He
is delighted with this second visit to
North Carolina and expects to return
in the fall and take deer hunt in

The party came to North Carolina
solely for recreation and pleasure, and

political, they were all reticent. AS
the Violet steamed out, they all stood
on deck and acknowledged the salutes
