Georgisns Become Barbarians
After Negroes.
THE MURDERERS ARE HIDDEN
Troops Have Been Asked for by the Au-
thorities TO Stop the War of
Races-Wiggtns Safe.

Quitman, Ga, Dec. 24.-Bands of
white men are catching colored men
and women and applying torches, to
make them reveal the hiding place of
Waverly and Pike. Three negroes have
been killed. Further trouble is expect
ed. Good citizens are incensed. I'm
less the mob can be quelled they will
arm themselves to protect the darkies.
The sheriff is organizing a posse to
go to the seat of the trouble. The gov
ernor will be telegraphed for troops.
The trouble cannot stop. Large num-
bers of whites and blacks are here. The
negroes are appealing for protection.
The excitement is intense. Advices
from Brooks county today say that
two negroes were killed in the rioting
there yesterday, instead of seven as at
first reported. A Quitman special to
the Journal says the whites are still
highly incensed and are patrolling the
settlement fully armed in search of
Waverly and Pike, the negroes whose
brutal slaughter of Isom last week
started the trouble. There is danger of
other lives being sacrificed before they
are captured. 9Nwo blacks iynched yes

INVESTIGATION IN ARMENIA.
Prominent Turks Appointed to Serve on
the Commission.

Constantinople, Dec. 24.-Chekif BeN
president of the court of cessation and
Djelaleddin Bey, president of the cor
rectional section of the court of APP
peals, have been appointed members
of the Armenian commission. Adullah
Pasha has been recalled on account of
representations that he is inferior in
rank to Sekki Pasha, commander of
the Turkish troops, said to be respon-
sible for the outrages, who will be ex-
amined by the commission.
1t is stated here that the question Of
the appointment of an American dele
gate to accompany the commission and
make an independent investigation is
still unsettled. Minister Terrell held
long audience with the sultan last
evening, and the matter will be con-
sidered at the council of ministers to-
day.
III view Of the severity of the winter,
the commission is not likely to be able
to visit the mountain districts of
Saanoun.

WIGGINs is SAFE.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. 24.-James Wig
gins, the negro who killed an old man
and wounded two officers in attempt
ing to evade arrest last night, has not
been lynched and will not be. The
sheriff, with an armed posse, is inside
of the Jail and will fire if necessary to
protect him. A special term of court
will be convened Saturday, at which
Virgins case will be pushed with all
vigor. Detective Murray and Police
man Stringer, the officers wounded by
Virgins, are both alive. Stringer will
recover, but Murray's case is consid-
cred hopeless. The coroner's inquest
over John Davis, the old man killed in
the melee, rendered a verdict at noon,
that he came to his death by a stray
bullet.

In restless striving for desired relief.
Draw close the veil and hide thyself apart.

Though it's tormentng thought corrode

For Fate Would Have 1t So.

Long years: The shadows fell across the
way
Far more than sunny beam:
Fierce storms; and clouds, whose monotone
of gray
UTnbroken was by CLEAN
OF light: the wind in hurricane swept by,
And laid my castles low
/ never dared again to build them high,
Fate would not have ii so!
All passed: There dawned better, brighter
day.
The softest zephyr breeze
Stirs myriad green-clad branches by the
way,
And sings among the trees
In cadence of a thousand-stringed har-
mOny:
A Ginning sweet and low.
The time is wondrous fairi-you came to
me-
For fate would have it so.

Cinnamon Roses

1t is but break in the woodland
This wall of young poplar incloses;
There is not trace Of a dwelling
Save only these cinnamon roses.
A glow like a cloud of the morning,
Each bloom with its hearts hidden gold;
The dear threshold flowers of New England
Our grandmothers cherished of Old
All sweet with their fragrance, the south
wind
Swaps softly the boughs TO and fro
1--WE planted those Iowers, a low whisper
Floats down from the dim long ago.
Who were they? We know not; the Wild
wood
The place with its green wall incloses;
A home that has vanished forever,
Still lives in its cinnamon roses.
