BY THE ROPE ROUTE. Determined Citizens Take Two Murderers From Train AND HANG AND RIDDLE THEM Their Crimes Were the Killing of Two Highly Respected
 CitiZ onS.
AND HANG AND RIDDLE THEM

MONTGOMERY, Aug. 4-lSpecial.l- About 8 o'clock tonight at Mi:chell's sta- tion, on the Central railroad below here, mob of masked men took Richard Jordan and Riley Walker from the Central train due here at S:45 tonight aud hanged them near the railroad track to the same tree, then riddled their dangling bodies with buckshot, making quick and sure work.
 These two negroes were tried at Union Springs today for murder and convicted. Riley Walker was sentenced to life impris- ment in the state penitentiary. Jordon was sentenced for twelve years. lmme- diately after their sentence, acting under advice, the sheriff of that county decided to rush the prisoners to this city, fearing if they remained over night there mob vio- lence would be the result. When the even- ing train passed both prisoners, in custody of the sheriff and Deputy Kirtland, bosrded it and started to this city.
 At the next station several determined men got aboard, and at the next and next stations others got on. Nothing was thought of this, nor was the least trouble anticipated by the officers.
 When the train slowed up at Mitchel's station, it being dark, a half dozen masked men walked into the car where the pris- oners were, covered the officers, threw ropes around tne PrisonerS necks anu Iook them off and lynched them. The train started off, and the two men who guarded the officers withdrew in the dark.
 Riley Walker killed Mr. Dud Cary last February at Suspension. He was agent of the Central road there. Jordan was among the gang. Later on the gang, Wal ker being ringleader, shot a young mer- chant, Mir. Hall, at the same place, with motive of robbery, but Mir. Hall did not die.
 Detective William Wallace of Columb bus, Ga., went down to ferret out the gang. He and others came upon Jordan and being surrounded, Detective Walker started in the door when Walker shot and killed him. Walker then escaped. He was subsequently captured in Florida and brought back for trial.

Of the First Half of the Fifty
 Third Congress
TO BE HAD NEXT TUESDAY
Senate Meets Behind Closed DoorS-Hill'S Anarchist Ex-
 CluSiOn Bill Shelved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The session of the senate today lasted until 1:25 p. m., and then adjourned until Monday next. The general public was excluded from the chamber during all but four minutes Of the session, the remainder of the time being spent behind closed doors. There was no test as to whether or not quorum of sen ators was actually present, and in fact matters were 80 arranged in advance by mutual agreement that the question did not arise. The matters discussed in secret ses sion were not exclusively of an execu- tive character. On the contrary, eight or ten bills, three of them bridge bills, we re taken from the calendar and passed, and the concurrent resolution for the final edjourn- ment of congress on Tuesday next at ? p. m., was laid before the senate and was passed without word of opposition aud without a'votc in the negative.
 The senG @saS0 o'clock adjourned till Monday.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 The house passed joint resolution today providing for the adjournment of the pres- ent session of congress at 2 p. m. on Tues- day, August 28.
 Another effort was made, also unsaccess- ful to consider tbe Kill bill for the excu- sion and deportation of alien anarchists. An amendment has been agreed upon by the advocates of the measure and those members who had previously antagonized it, definIng an anarchist to be person who advocates the destruction by force of all governments or the government of the United States. This satisfied the objec- tions heretofore made, but MT. English, democrat, of New Jersey, entered an ob- jection, and the bill again went over, this time, probably, finally for this session.
 Two or three unimportant measures were passed, and after a session of an hour the house adjourned until Monday next.

GANG OF BURGLARS Who Have Infested the City for a
 Long Time N0F E BEHIND THE BARS ( o5d Work of Officers Bodeker Sand Donaldson in Running . Them Down.
g0F BEHIND THE BARS

The organized band of housebreakers which has infested Birmingham recently is broken up, it is believed, and it's men- bers are now incarcerated in the city jail awaiting trial.
 Yesterday afternoon Officer Bodeker ar- rested Andrew Jones and George Jones, alias Morrow, and placed them in jail. The charge against them is breaking into a Twen tieth street store and carrying away clothing, jewelry and other articles valued at about $150. Their accomplice in this deed was Ollie Langford, who is already in jail, he having been arrested several days ago by Officer Brown on another charge.
 From him Officer Bodeker obtained such information as to lead him to suspect An drew and George Jones as the perpetrators of the Twentieth street burglary and he set about to work up the case against them. For three days he prosecuted the investiga- ton, and about o'clock yesterday alter noon effected the arrest of the parties above mentioned. In his efforts to run down the guilty parties Officer Bodeker was assisted by Captain Donaldson of the police force.
 After the arrest Apdrew Jones made clean breast of the whole affair, admitting his guilt and duplicating George Jones, or Morrow, and Ollie Langford. A good Quautlby Ol bno cbOl0u PiOPSitJ "oS iONo' cred, and pawn tickets for great deal more taken from the prisoner.
 Andrew Jones and Ollie Langford ac- knowIedged having broken into and robbed a number of other houses in Birmingham recently; also number of freight cars on the various railroads coming into Br- mingham. The plu nder they have secured in this way during the summer amounts to several hundred dollars.
 la confessing their guilt these two ne- groes implicated George Jones, alias Mor- row, Walter Foster and Zeke Green as their accomplices.
 It is believed that these five negroes com mitted the larger part of the house rob- berries that have been reported during the past few months, and that their arrest will practically end that variety of depredations for g while at least.
 Officer Bodeker has done- excellent work in ferretting out these criminals, and their arrest and conviction will be great relief to the people of Birmingham.

WHOLESALE ARRESTS
Of Americans and Others Reported to Have Been Made at Bluefields.
 Much Excitement.

BLUEFIELD, Nicaragua, via New Orleans, Aug. 24.-rhe greater part of the Nicara- guan troops were to sail at 2 o'clock in the evening of the 16 on the Yulu, a coasting steamer, and Minister Madriz decided to send with them those persons whom he thought were guilty of firing on the Nica- raguan flag. Accordingly he arrested Consul Hatch, the British representative, a MT. Hampton; Harry Brown ,an English man; Capt. c. B. Wiltbanks, the Ameri- can who accepted the position of judge un der the Mosquito government, and several Mosquito creoles.
 A note was immediately sent to the Eng fish cruiser, and the news spread along the foreign quarter. United States Consul Seat was notified, and he called on Madriz. The latter said these persons were going to the interior to stand trial. He could not get evidence to convict them now, but he Seat then sent dispatches 10 Columbia, and at 2:30 o'clock tug was steaming towards the bluffs
 What the charges are Madriz doee not say. He has not even informed the Ameri- can nor English consuls. The latter, it IS believed, is charged with having melted the Jamaicans to riot and bloodshed.
 The owners of the Yulu, when told of the arrests, stated that their boats should not leave, and thus the only transport which could stand the sea is taken away from them. The commander of the Co., lumbia is expected before nightfall and the English commander also. The American population ere greatly excited and were it. not that they have con 6dence in their country's agents, the bullet riddled build- ings would suffer another attack.

This was brought before the United States court at Knoxville two weeks ago and the court stated unequivocally that the bondholders were entitled to the fore. closure and that it would give nearing az the earliest convenient time to determine the particulars relating to the question.

 an Atlanta Street, THEN TOSSED THE PISTOL At His Dying ViCtim-Alexander Carr'S Bloody Deed--Talk
 of Lynohing.
THEN TOSSED THE PISTOL

ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. 24.-Alexander Carr emptied five chambers into H. o. King on South Broad street this evening and then tossed his pistol away and folded his arms and waited for a policeman. King is a well-kown man here, and was connected with prominent families. Carr had been in his employ at pyrite mine which King operated near Villa Rica, this state. Carr says that King owed him money, and the shooting grew out of this indebtedness.
 At3 o'clock the two men came from the Inman building, walked across Broad street and stood talking for a few minutes. Several persons who were passing noticed that they were quarreling.
 J. B. Tacques, foreman of Postel's print ing house, in front of which the two men were standing, says that Carr sudden ly drew pistol and shot King in the head. street. Carr followed him up, stood over him and fired four bullets into his head. Then he tossed the pistol at King and walked off dozen yards. A great crowd collected before the smoke had cleared away, and many who knew the dying man proposed to lynch Carr, who stood cold and nervous with folded arms. Po- licemen came up and drove the crowd back. King was sent to the Grady hos pital where he died at 6 o'clock. He never spoke after being shot.
 Carr made statement tonight in which he said that he had quarreled with King earlier in the day about the money due. Carr claims that they met accidentally this afternoon, and after some words King drew pistol and was about to shoot him. Parties who were passing at the time state that King did not have pistol.
