TARRED AHD FEATHERED.
a9t Gen Tdrsney. Of Colorado, Recovering
from the Outrage of Satyrday-Eot
Seriously Hyrt

DENVER, CoL.-Adjt Gen Tarsney is
safe at home not much the worse for
his adventures with the masked men.
He has some blisters, caused by the
too liberal use OF coal oil to free him
from the tar, but he will suffer no
serious harm.
When he was turned loose, after the
tar and feathers has been applied, his
face was turned forward Palmer Lake
and he was told never to Show his
face in Cripple Creek or Colorado
Springs again. He walked fourteen
miles before he applied Tor aid
at n ranch house. Help was p, omptly
given him. After the tar was removed
pie Greek deputies took him to Palmer
Lake in his buggy, and thence he came
by rail TO Denver.
A mass meeting of about fifty thou
sand people WAS held in the Lincoln
Park to condemn the outrage perpet-
rated upon Adjt Gen Tarsney in
Colorado Springs.
Governor Waite was received with
tumultuous applause, and when he
hotly spoke his views of the outrage
the crowd Cheered wildly and cries of
''Give il to themw were frequently
heard
Resolutions were adopted with n
shout determining the punishment of
the perpetrators and declaring that il

nation. Gen. Tarsney is very weak,
and he still suffers keenly from his in
luries. A story is current that five
deputies went out of Denver on the
night of the assault od Tnrsney, and
returned the following day from the
south. A paper was picked mp at Pal

DR.. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of
Auinsi In iustry 10 tho Agricultural

Seeking Homes in Africa.
SFrom Atlanta Constitution.)

The London Post thinks that the
decrease of emigration to the United
States is not so much due to the exclus
sion laws as 10 is to the fact that the
west has had it's day, and that the tide
of emigration has turned towards
Africa. II declares that the omnipo-
tence of capital in this country has
grown into an almost intolerable
tyranny, and has driven the farmer
and the workingman to the wall.
Surprising as this view may seem TO
many of our readers, it IL, nevertheless,
a~iact that the rush to Africa has not
only resulted in the establishment Of
many European colonies in the dark
continent, but has also led number of
Americans to organize with a view to
settling in eastern Africa, about 500
miles north of Zanzibar. on both sides
of Juba river, for about $50 miles in
land. II is not the intention to estab-
lish missions. II will be free settle
ment. Rice, sugar, tobacco and rub
Der are the natural products of that
region, and cattle, sheep and horses
do well in that climate. Already about
ly in the west, have signified their
desire to join the new colony, and it
is believed that the settlers will be
ready in about five years to begin ex-
porting their products.
With our experience of Africa in
America we do not see why anybody
should wish to try America in Africa.
There is plenty of room in this country
for hundreds of millions of people.
In Europe the density of population
If ninety inhabitants to the square
mile, and only twenty to the square
mile in the United States.
BY the last census there were ,947,-
2S5 square miles of territory in the
United States, where there were only
two people to the square mile. There
were 592, ,O37 square miles which
averaged from two to six individuals
to each; 393, ,943 square miles that
averaged from six to eighteen popula-
tion; 70l, ,S45 square miles that averag-
ed from eighteen to forty-fve pop
ulation; 235, 14S square miles that
averaged from forty five to ninety, and
only 25,3l2 square miles where the
population WAS above ninety to the
square mile. We could take this
greatest average of density of popula-
tion and multiply il by five before we
should reach the crowded condition
of England or Belgium There is
plenty of room in America yet, for
North Dakota has only twc inhabitants
to the square mile; South Dakota, four;
New Mexico, one and fourth, and
Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada,
and Idaho less than one.
Admitting that the west has been
too rapidly developed, AN inviting field
for home seekers will he found in the
south, where they will be able to make
good start without suffering any o.
the hardships of frontier life. Those
who prefer Africa are doubtless of an
adventurous spirit, and they are moved
by desire 10 cast of the restraints OF
civilized life.

LONDON -Santo, assassin Of Presi-
dent Carnot, is n beardless Young man
90 or 25 years old. When arrested he
was attired in II brown suit and wore n
peaked cap that matched the suit in
color. As he marched under his police
guard from the Rue de Ia Republi1uc
to the station he held his head down
but his eyes glanced furtively around
"a though he was seeking Hu oprortu-
nifty to escape from his captors. To
have made such nm attempt, however,
would have been the height of foolhar
diness unless he desired to commit sui
eide, for there is not the slightest
doubt that had he got away from the
protection afforded him by the police
he would have been torn limb from
limb by the crowd, whose every action
showed that they were thirsting for
his blood.
Snnto, who speaks French badly,
when questioned by Prefect Lcpine,
at the police station in the Rue Moliere,
said he lived at Cette, Department of
Herault, for the past six months and
had come to Lyons that day. He gave
his age as % years His replies were
given coolly, but without any sign OF
hravado. He refused, however, &c
answer any of the many questions put
| to him regarding his motive for stab,
binG the President, declaring that or
this subject he would only speak before

IF his pockets in which it was written
that he was born in village in the

RALEIGH, N. C-Deputies W. G.
Johnston and J. E. Council left ApeJ
with George Mills, white, who stand,
charged with the murder and attempted
rape of his niece, Miss lana Wimberly.
The officers drove through the country
to Raleigh and the reason they left al
such an hour as midnight was that il
Mills had remained there over night
he would have been lynched. Mills
is about As years of age, and is of q
low order of intelligence. His eye.
sight is very poor and he is small in
stature. His character is not good.
Some years ago he was charged
with an outrageous assault upon
n white woman, his cousin, then
married, and the proof of her bad
character alone saved him. IL is al
legged that he has made several attem pts
of the kind at various times.
The Wimberlys armed their neigh
bors and party of eight went TO the
old Vaughan house, from which tha
old man had JUST returned and told
them he reckoned lana was at the
Vaughan house, dead; that somebody

They found il in n freshly ploughed
field, and there were plainly visible
the footprints OF man and q woman
leading to the door, while only the
tracks of man were found leading
away from the house. About two feet
inside the door lay Miss Wimberly.
To all appearances she was dead. Her
head was literally beaten to pieces.
Her temples were crushed in and there
was ghastly hole in the side OF heI
head. The entire rear of the skull waa
crushed, and the brain was visible.
There were evidences Of n struggle.
On the floor were found the prints oi
five nails made by footstep. 1t was

an impression, having the five nails.
just inside the door was found the in
strument with which the poor young
woman had been struck. IL was n dog.
