A DESPERATE MAN,
Who Will Probably be Lynched, Down in
Georgia---Ono Hundred and Fifty Shots
Fired at Him, but Only One Took Effect.

AUGUSTA, GA, December 23.-.Hon.
William II. Fleming, Speaker OF the
Georgia House, and Judge William f
Eve, of the County Court, have just
flushed addresses TO mob OF three
hundred citizens that are gathered
around the comfy jail with the inten-
tion of lynching JADE Virgins. 1t is
believed that the better counsel has
prevailed, and there will be no as
sault on the jail. Saturday night
Virgins killed negro named Ander-
son Williams, across the river ln
Carolina. He was tracked to Augusta
by negro spotter, and the Augusta po-
lice were told of his whereabouts. a
posse of police surrounded the house
in the upper part of Augusta and broke
in the door. Virgins opened fire on
the officers with pistols, one In each
hand.
Detective Joe Murray was shot In the
head aud is dying at the hospital. Po-
liceman Stringer was also shot in the
head aud can probably not recover.
Policeman Wrenn was shot in the leg.
Mr. John Davis, a spectator, was shot
In the region OF the heart, and died 10
less than az hour. The negro escaped,
but little later was held up by q
youth named Jordan aud finally ar
rested.
During the melee at the house and
the flight of the negro, when the fugi-
tive was under FIRE from many persons,
over one hundred and fifty shots were
fired and the was slightly wounded In
the left side. At 9 O'Clock TIE crowd al
the jsi had increased to 1000.
There is no leader aud it is not
thought that any attempt will be made
TO enter the jail, which is strong
structure, and well protected.
The Sheriff and jaiior VOW that .here
shall be nc lynchiGg in Augusta TO.

BALTIMORE, MD, December ga
special to the News (Dem) from

Judge Nathan Go5, who has been

rived at his home here yesterday,
aud mas been In close confer

the United States Senate against
Elkins. 1t was given out last evening
that Judge Gofl will. in all probability,

formidable opponent
He has eight votes pledged 70 him and
Senator Whitaker and the Hon. J. A..
Hutchinson have each as many more.

time solidify the followers OF the other

THE PORTE DENIES
A Number Of Allegations Regarding the
Armenian Outraga-The Commission Of
Enquiry of for ErzsrOum-A Change
Made.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December "a
That the Turkish government is keep
ing posted upon the reports in ci rcula-
tion concerning the Armenian troubles,
and that it desires a friend ly public
opinion, seems evident from the care
with which it observes the reports
which secure circulate on abroad. 1t
has made denials Of several printed
stories OF oppression in Armenia, and
to-day the Turkish Minister furnished
70 the press a dispatch from his gov
ernment cOntradicting several recently
printed stories. The dispatch is as fol-
lows:
"It has been published that the
Archbishop OF MArash was i'm prisoned
at Alep, that the Bishop OF Hadjin, the
Archbishop OF Zsiatoun and Father
Jarask, of Marash, we're condemned TO
death, that Sister Elizabeth aud TWEEN
" other prisoners we're uuder arrest,
aud that fifteen leading men OF Alep
were sent to prison, All these asSer-
tions are without the least foundation
In fact, nor was the church at Beylan
closed, as has been falsely reported"
CONsTANTNOPLE, December 23.-The
Porte has agreed TO instruct the foreign
delegates who will accompany the Ar
meuian Commission, that they are en-
powered not only TO suggest questions
TO the witnesses, but also to personally
examine them.
AbduIah Basha has Withdrawn from
the Presidency Of the Commission az
the last moment, and has been replaced
by two officials from the Ministry of
Justice, who will start to-day for Ere
rOu, where the other members Of the
Commission are already assembled.
The withdrawal OF Abdullah is sup
posed % be due to representations that
he is inferior in rank to Iedki Pasha,
who is alleged TO be the instigatOr OF
the atrocities, aud who will nave to DC
examined.
