RACE WAR rs OVER.
Negro Hunters in Brooks Coun.
ty, Ga, Go Home.
TROOPS ARRIVE ON THE SCENE,

And the Mob Concludes to Go Out of Busi-
ness-The killing of Blacks Declared
UDjustifiable-A Statement from Quit
man That Puts a Less Atrocious Aspect
on the Trouble, but Admits the Cruel
Whipping of a Negro Woman.
QUITMAN, Ga.-The trouble in Brooks
rounty is over. The Valdosta Videttes
were ordered here Monday night by the
governor. Captain Cafferty, Lieut. Staten,
Lieut.. Poles, DIR. Bass and Sheriff Thrash
er at once visited the scene of the trouble.
They found peace restored and the citizens
assured them that there would be no more
trouble, and they came back to Quitman,
and the Vadosta Videttes left for Valdos
tn. The killing of the negroes was entire
ly uncalled for. They were killed because
they were supposed to know the where
abouts of Waverly Pike, whose crime was
the original incentive to lawlessness. Good
citizens of the county will do their utmost
to bring to justice the men who are re
sponsible for the trouble.

Scene mt the Funeral of Alcorn.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 26.-The funeral of ex-
Senator Alcorn Mt Eagle Nest, Miss, pre-
scnted perhaps the most weird scene ever
witnessed in this country. The obsequies
were attended by 300 negroes, the major
ity of whom were the former slaves Of the
dead senator. The negroes were incon-
solablc in their grief and gave vent to
their feelings in shricks, religious songs
and prayers. AT the grave the old gray
haired colored men threw themselves
upon the coffin and finally had to be re-
moved by force in order to allow the body
to be buried.

Thinks the LexOw Committee Is Quitting
Before 1t Is Through.
NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Rev. DIR. Park
hurst is not pleased at the prospect that
the investigation of police corruption is to
be stopped before the heads of the depart
ment shall be called upon to testify, and
still less is he pleased with the PROPOSE
tion, which is said to be favored by MEM
bcrs of the LexOw committee, that Super
intendent Byrnes be charged with the
reorganization of the department.. DIR.
Parkhurst said that he would not stop
even if the senate committee did. He
said he believes the committee is about
through with serious work. 1T is evident,
and l am informed" he added, that
Superintendent Byrnes is to be subjected
only to q perfunctory examination, and
that he it was who planned the confession
of Captain Schmittbcrger.
81 would not have it thought that am
actuated by mere prejudice against
Superintendent Byrnes, but l do think
that he is the head of the exposed police
system, as he is of the police force. A
gentleman said to me recently that he
would US soon think of asking Satan's ad
vice on the Reorganization of hell rs
Byrnes' on the Reorganization of the po
lice. That EXPRESSES my opinion exactly
There is no prejudice in my feelings
against Byrnes, but have met his power
Of opposition to my work of reform al
many points, and hence have gained {
knowledge of him which has been such a:
to make me hold aloof from any alliance
with him, and / will not be restrained
now 10y any cooperation with HIM thai
may be accepted by others"
Superintendent Byrnes has issued al
order prohibiting the police from riding
free on elevated street cars. They are for
hidden to accept any free transportation

a stop to his career on this earth. Eli
Frazier and Sam Pike fired on some
whites they met in the road, and both
were killed. This was the record up to
Saturday night.
The negroes, SO it is claimed, then swo-e
to take the life of every man, woman and

men together in large numbers. There
were reckless men in the crowds, though
the majority was in favor of conservative
measures. At the home of Eli Frazier
they took the negro's wife out and beat
her terribly, expecting, they claimed, to
make her tell the whereabouts of Pike.
When Mitchell Brice, upon whose planta-
tion the negro lived, heard of this he start
ed after the perpetrators, and he and Cap

negroes killed, but the names do not seem

Tells story of Conspiracy.
The following is the story as she tells
it to her lawyers: Hetty Robinson wa:
the favorite daughte :of one of the richest
and most influential citizens of New
Bedford, Mass. She was reared at the
home of her aunt, Miss Sylvia Ann How
land, who was also very wealthy, being
| rcputed to be worth ut least 81 ,0000UO. IL
| the early summer of 1865 Mr.. Robinson
came to New York on business and while
here was taken suddenly l!l-.so i'll thai
| his daughter was summoned TO his bed
| side where she found him in Il critical con
dition. He told her that he was in til,
hands of a band OF conspirators VIII,
would kill him if possible. He cautioned
her that she must guard her own life, q!
| he had left her all his property He wa
very much worried about his will, and
finally sent for it to see if it was as he hat
made it.
Her Fathers Mysterious Death.
! Before the will reached him his daughte
found him badly wounded and with tn,
bed clothes thoroughly saturated will
his blood. He died without seeing tn,

was opened it was discovered that Hett,
was to receive only a small part of th
estate Soon after this Miss Rowland
the aunt, died mysteriously and of her 81
000,O00 Hetty received only a small por
tion. Evarts, Beaman s. Choate, counse
for Mr.. Barling, have issued statemen
denying by inference the above state o
facts and asserting that the suit is on

AN IMPORTANT LETTER.

The subjoined letter from a committee of the Commercial club has been sent to a number of our citizens who do not belong to the club, and it should receive most liberal response from them. To accom- plish the best results the club should be strong in numbers, as it is dealing with matters that will require a united people, and all will be benefited in proportion as the club succeeds in it's efforts.
 In view of the conditions that have re- tarded Birmingh hams progress, and which the Commerci al club fully understands and is seeking to remedy, loyalty to this city can best be shown by becoming member and aiding, through the strength of num- bers and concert of action, in this work of general relief. These conditions have been forming for seven years or longer, and cannot be remedisd at once; but they can be remedied by union of effort, and when this is accom- plished every member will be proud to share in the glory of the achievement. Much has been done in this direction, and there is promise of greater results in the near future, the principal ob- stacles in the path being the apathy of our own citizens.
 The Commercial club is doing some ex- cellent work for Birmingham, and all will soon realize the value of it, but there must
 
 of every citizen to perform his share of the labor. The following is the committee's 8 letter:
 DEAR SIR: The Commercial club is en- gagged in a struggle to increase the com mercial advantages of Birmingham. Every business man will recognize the impor- tance of this work and will feel it's ef- feet, should the club be successful.
 In order to make our efforts more effec- tive it is necessary to have the co-opera- tion of every business man in this commu- nity.
 If, therefore, you are anxious to realize better times-wnich means better trade we suggest the importance of your becom- ing, at once, a member of the club, so that we may have the benefit of your counsel and the strength of united effort.
 Please be so kind as to notify MT. N. F. Thom pson, the secretary of the club, of your wishes in the matter, so that he may enroll your name as one of our members. Besides this there will be a number of the leading members of the club at the club rooms every afternoon from 8 to o'clock, where visitors can meet them and talk over the advantages of Birmingham, or where any citizen or business man can bring to the attention of the club such sug- gestions as he may think will best advance the interests of the city, and these sugges- tions will receive due consideration.
