The poor fellow gave utternnce 70 q

struck the cross beam Of the elevator
The body rebounded from the beam

his face was startling in its death-like
appearance His breath came in heavy,

needed but q curBory examination to
ascertain that Treillard was beyond

the poor fellow to swallow a spoonful
of brandy, but there was no response.
The doctor said to the friends Of the
dying man that there could be no hope.
At this juncturc the ambulance nrriv-

slings, placed Treillard in the convey
ance and proceeded to the Charity
Hospital Shortly after they reached

licemen assaulted and fearfully mal-
treated a negro, who had just been dis
charged by Judge Murphy, and threat
ened 70 kill to kill q prominent attor-
ney and some citizens who interfered
in the negro's behalf, the relations be-
tween the court officials and the police
department are severely strained.
When the riot was at its height Judge
Murphy adjourned court When it
reconvened the Judge issued an order
that no policemen should be allowed
to carry arms while in the court room.
He then asked for the names of wit
nesses OF testimony of witnesses taking
part in the disgraceful proceedings
which caused the court to be adjourned.
Although the room was filed with par
ticipants and witnesses Of the riot, no
one would testify. A few minutes later
Police Officer Earle entered the court
room carrying his revolver. Judge
Murphy promptly fined him S25 and
sentenced him to ten days in jail for
contempt Of court. He was released
on a writ Of habeas corpus procured
by chief Of police Hnrrigan. During the
trial of the prisoner shortly afterwards,
Chief Harrigan entered the enclosure
reserved for attorneys and representa-
tives Of the press, and was ordered
therefrom by Judge Murphy. The

on earth. In the present crisis that so
deeply affects the prosperity, success
and well being Of the tillers Of the soil,

the cotton belt almost worthless in the
worlds market, il has been deemed
wise and best to convene and take

most remunerative returns and secure
their independence from the burdens
Of debtor classes, surround them
selves with life's necessities and COM
forts, and through them increase the
genial prosperity Of the land To this
end It has been deemed best to sum-
mon an assembly Of representative
farmers from Eastern Texas Southern
Arkansas and Louisiana, to convene in
the City of Shreveport on Tuesday,
January Is, 1895, to discuss economic
questions and vital issues connected
with agriculture. The time is ripe to

ing and kindred topics, The very best

"Cheap transportation win be secur-
ed and special rates of accommodations

hsh this call. Let Louisiana, Ark
ansas and Texas respond enthusiastic
ally, and the farmers unite in
supreme and solid effort for the better
ment of their calling, on which is based
the worlds commercial and financial
progress and stability"

CONTEMPT FOR LAW.
"A MOB MUST sEf THE HANGING.

derers Hung-- Morbid
Curiosity Satisfied.

Clarence Cox and John Stanley, two
white men, aged respectively 26 and
23, were executed mt Maynardsyille,
Tenn, the county seat of Union coun-
ty, at 2;45 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The execution was witnessed by fully
$500 people. Under the laws Of Ten
tiessee. however, executions are 60 be
private, only d few persona specified
by the law being allowed to witness the
execution. Such was not the case Sat
urday. nenclosure had been erected
in d valley one mile from the jail II
was 90 feet wide and 40 feet long In
side this the execution was to take
place on a double gallows Sheriff
John Swipe had sworn in special
guard Of 100 men to protect the pris-
oners and to keep the crowd back.
The crowd, however, was drinking
and became very unruly. Shortly be-
ford ! o'clock the guards left the stock
ade for the jail, While they were away
the mob made a rush for the stockade,
and in less time than it takes to tell it
the stockade was razed to the ground,
as If q cyclone had struck il. The ex-
citement was intense, and II looked for
few moments as II bloodshed would
be the result, but better counsel pre-
vailed and everything passed off all
right. The men confessed their guilt
before leaving the jail, duplicating no
one but themselves. They prayed in
cessantly and said they were prepared
to die,
The bodies of the men were cut
down in twenty-five minutes after the
drop fell The fall was two feet. Both
men died from strangulation. The
bodies were cut down, placed in wood
en- collins and taken to Knoxville Sat
urday night. Cox viii be inferred in
Anderson county, and Stanley at
Sweetwater. The men died bravely.
The crime for which the men were
executed was the murder last February
of Henry Snodderly and his wife, an
old couple, aged 90 years, at their
home, near Snodderly Mills, in Union
county. The motive was robbery. The
men went to the house ut z o'clock on
the evening Of February last. Old
man snodderly, his wife, grandson,
Sam Gwyhne, daughter and niece were
in the house sitting by the fire when
Cox and Stanley entered, wearing
masks. They were armed with Win
chesters, and shot old man Snodderly
and his wife, killing them instantly.
They also shot at the other parties, but
missed their aim.
The men only secured few dollars
and not the thousands they expected to
find. The brutal murderers escaped
ON horses. They afterward surrender
ed, however, and in time they were SEN
fenced to hang. The men appealed to
the circuit court, which affirmed the
decision Of the lower court, and they
were hanged Saturday.
