Extra Rineo and Revolvers Ready for

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Treasury
officials. while disclaiming any fears of
trouble on account of the presence of
crowds incident to the coming of Coxey's
army, have taken the precaution of
adding fifty-hve carbiues and twenty
reviewers to the Treasury's supply OF
arms.
Tho normal strength OF the watch
force Of the Treasury Is seventy men,
divided into two reliefs and In additi On
to two or three dozen revolvers, there
has always been thirty-five carbines in
the racks in the office Of the captain of
the watch sufficient to supply ono to
each watchman on duty.
1t has been thought best, however. to
increase the supply in view of the crowds
OF hangers on OF Coxeys army that are
expe cted to arrive in the city during the
coming week.
The captain Of the"Treasury Guards"
local military organization composed
entirely OF clerks in the Treasury de-
partment, to-day informed the captain OF
the watch force that in case of trouble
at any hour OF the day or night he
could have every man in his command
at the Treasury building inside OF forty
five minutes.
He stated that his men were we'll
drilled in the use OF firearms and
hence could do more effective work
than civilians He asked to be noti--

Marion County Mhitecaps.

Meridian, Dec. 14.-At the session Of
the circuit court for the second district
of Marion County, which was held at
Purvis this week, an understanding was
reached by which the cases against the
Whitecappers removed under change OF
venue from Columbia to the Purvis
court, were filed and their prosecution
suspended so long as they remained law
abiding citizens. The cases against a
white man named Entriken, indicted
for burning several stores in Purvis,
were mole pressed, and then it was that
a genuine sensation was developed.
One of the parties engaged in the burn
ing of the storehouses of Mcleod, Cal
houn Il Dearman, informed District At
torney Neville that If he were assured
of protection from assassination he
would furnish the names of those who
did the burning. The Indictment by
tho grand jury of Willis and Lance
Hill, notorious WhiteCappers, followed
at once. The former is now serving Il
term in the penitentiary for forgery of
a railroad ticket and the latter has been
arrested. An old negro, Clint Stringer,
who was supposed by the Whitecappcrs
to have seen them the night the stores
were burned, was assassinated two
weeks afterward and Lance Hill was in
dicted also for his murder. District At
torney Neville says the proof against
the Hill boys is overwhelming,
and that whitecapism in Marion County,
the hot-bed of that species Of lawless.
ness in Mississippi, is now a thing OF
the past,

Convict Beaten to Depth.

Vicksburg, Dec. 13.-Jesse Mimms, n
negro convict, employed by this county,
with many others, some 10 miles north
of this city, on the public roads, was so
cruelty beaten by Reuben Goodrum, one
of his guards, that he died. Details OK
the evidence before the coroner's jury
reached here today and are simply agoil-
izing. Goodrum beat the prisoner sew
eral times, and had the convicts beat
himialso, using q white oak rod as thick
as u walking cane, and also an OK whip.
He also, as n guard testifies, tied him
mp by the thumbs for 40 minutes. AZ
terward another guard is charged with
hanging the victim up by the neck.
Mimms' sole oifense was being i'll and
unable to work. He was found dead in
his bed next morning. The coroner and
other witnesses say that his body was
literally layed from tho mock to his
knees. A great hole was worn in the
abdomen from the beating, exposing the
vitals. Goodrum made his escape dur
ing the inquest and has not been cap
tured as yet. The tragedy has aroused
a thrill of popular Indignation, and it
will be thoroughly investigated by the
grand jury, TO- in session. This coun-
tvs convicts are employed wholly on
public works, and hitherto there have
been no complaints.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
New Railroad.

Glendora, Dec. 1.-THE Pabst and
Schlitz brewing companies have com
pleted the organization of a rallroau
under the laws Of the State oil
Mississippi. The name of the new COM
pany is the Mississippi II Northern
This company is now operating a rail-
road from tho midst of an oak forest on
the T~allahatchie river to Phillips City,
the new town that tho big brewing com
panies started last year on the Ialla-
hatchie, in the midst of their 4o,0oo
acres Of timber land. In the near future
the road will will be extended to Charles
ton, forty miles or more distant.
The Pabst and Schlitz companies have
one of the most magnificent plants in
the South at Phillips City, and they are
shipping thousands Of slaves to their
big brewing establishment IN MlIwau-
kee. The enterprise will also rebound
to the interest of the people of Glen
dora, as the plant is located on a direct
line from here to Parsons on the Illinois
Central Railroad, a few miles north of
Greenwood. 1t is doubtless a settled
question that the Iazoo & Mississippi
VALLEY Railroad will leave its Talla-
hatchie branch that runs from Clarks-
dale to Minter City, at Glendora, where
they have depot building and side
tracks, and will shortly build the gap
between here and Parsons, thus giving
another line through the Delta country
from Jackson via Yazoo City, Green
wood, Glendora, Clarksdale and on to
Memphis, Surveyors for the lazoo Il
MississippiValley Railroad have already
been in the field, and the line is doubt
less established.
