MEMPHIS, Tenn. Sept. 9.-The
Grand jury, which had been in sess-
ion all day yesterday, returned last
night six true bills against NJ. Strick-
faden. james Perley and Edward
Smith for murder. They are charged
with being parties to the lynching of
the six negroes at Millington the
night of August 3lst. These three
had already been arrested on bench
warrants, bnt their indictment created
considerable excitement. Following
the action of the Grand Jury. Judge
Cooper issued bench warrant for
Assistant Jailor Will Cox on charge
of perjury. Cox was arrested and
jailed.
1t is now reported that the mob
which lynched the negroes did not
consist OF over 10 persons. This looks
bad for Richardson, the detective, who
said there were 80 men. Ten men
would not have made the attack, unless
they had had an understanding with
Richardson. The whole plot will be
held bare in a day or so, the officers

Hope for Democratic Supre.
macy.


Senator Faulkner, Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee
says:
Il sincerely believe now that with
the wonderful improvement in the in
dustrial interests of the country
which is going on, the next House
will be held by fair working major
iiy. | am frank to admit that IL
month ago the political horizon was
rather cloudy. and our c"nIi lent hope
of maintaining the Democratic supre-
macy in Congress was in somewhat of
an eclipse. The reaction during the
last two weeks, however, throughout
the whole country has simply been
marvellous. Reports from all parts
of the country indicate already to
large extent that the party has thrown
off its lethargy and Indifference and
its rousing itself for one of the most
earnest, aggressive and enthusiastic
campaigns that we have had in the
country for some time. This is indi-
Gated by the very large primaries and
enthusiastic conventions being held IN
almost every Congressional district.
| don't mean by this that the party is
overconfdent. 1t realizes that it has
to fight an astute, and earnest organ
ization which has so long iattened
upon the results Of power, and been
entrenched so firmly behind the pro-
tective barriers of legislation that
nothing but unity in the Democratic
organization will enable the latter to
maintain its supremacy"

Yellow Fever on Our Coast.

WASHINGTON. ID. C., Sept. 9.-Sur-
geon General Wyman to-day received
word from the assistant surgeon ut
Cape Henry, Va, that the American
bark Alice had arrived there from
Havana, Cuba, with three cases of
yellow fever on board. The vessel
was towed to Fisherman Island, pend
ing an examination by the marine
hospital service.
DIR. Wyman says there need he no
alarm felt as to an epidemic OF yellow
fever, because of the lateneSs of the
season and the fact that this dread
disease has not been as severe as usual
in the tropics this summer. The
steamer Tyzack. which arrived at
Baltimore August 81, with four cases
of yellow fever aboard. was also from
Havana.
