Jasper, OF Dolby, the usually cOnserva-

county lost all sight Of the legal aspects
Of the case, and could see but the scOund-
rel and the gray haired woman who was

decreed death as the punishment of the
guilty wretch. And TO enforce that
judgment he came here armed to resist

Afternoon at Washington Court House
A Com mercial Gazette special, de-
scribing the afternoon At Washington
Court House, says: The soldiers had easy
duty guarding the JAIL the greater num-
ber of citizens remaining on the Oppo-
site side of the court house until 3: 80
o'clock. by that time the people had
learned it was intended to have the ne
gro arraigued and sentenced in time to
take him to Columbus on the train leav-
ing here at 1876.
Col. Colt was in the act Of taking the
prisoner from the jail to the court house
to receive his sentence. Sentries at close
intervals and with arms port kept the
line clear. There was menace in the
restless movement of the mob. When
AL was ready the side door of the jail
was opened and Deputies Dusick and
Caldwell with the pinioned negro
stepped out upon the walk.
Cries of sKfn Him
There was an instant Of hushed silence.
Then came cries of "Don't let him 60 up:
get him, kill him. ana the mob rushed to-
ward the sentries. The latter took the posi-
ton of charge and then stood firm. The
wave broke only when steel met flesh.
At the first cry the deputies. who were
surrounded by Sheriff Cook, Col. Colt.
Major Slzeads and other officers, rapidly
pushed the negro no the stone steps near
the top oil which occurred the most seri-
Gus trouble
Here the most determined rush was
made and the soldiers. were forced to use
their bayonets. Among the foremost
was gray haired Henry Kirk, a brother
in-law of the victim. He pushed for
ward until he touched the legs Of the
flying negro, when a side blow from u
bayonet tumbled him down the steps.
The negro was hustled up the stairs into
the court room.
When Jasper was called upon to rise
and plead he had to be assisted to his
feet He made repeated attempts to
speak and finally whispered guilty in
a barely audible tone

CHICAGO. Oct 18-The stockholders of
the Pullman Palace Car company met in
annual session late this afternoon. 1t
was apparent from interviews with those
present that Mr.. George NJ. Pull
man and his friends would remain
in control for another year, as
it was generally believed that there
would be no show of opposition to the
management, which is said to exist
among some stockholders.
The annual report Of the company was
said to be vague as to the effect Of the
great strike, but the report was not made
public until after the adjournment Of the
meeting.
