Five Negroes Charged with Murder Die

GREENvILLE, Ala, April 20. Infor-
nation has been received from Butler
Springs of the brutal murder of Watts
Murphy. He was nephew of ex-
Gov. Watts, of Alabama He was
murdered last Wednesday by five
negroes, who placed his body in
brush and set fire to the entire heap,
the body being consumed. The young
man having been missed from home,
search was began to find out his where

confessed, duplicating four other
negroes, all of whom We're arrested and
heavily guarded.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, April ga gem
tleman who arrived at o'clock Sunday
night from Greenville, Ala, 40 miles
south of here, reports that five negroes
were lynched near there Saturday
night.
The five dead negroes are supposed
to be the murderers of Watts, who was
killed and his body burned at Butler
Springs last Wednesday. Three me-
groes were arrested for this crime,
and one confessed, duplicating two
other negro men and two negro
women.
A Greenville dispatch received at
midnight confirms the lynching of the
five negroes mentioned above. It says,
however, that the victims of the mob
were three women and two men, whose
names We're Mary Deane, Martha and
Alice Greene, John Rather and Zeb
Galley. A posse of men who had charge
of the five prisoners left Butler Springs
about II o'clock Saturday night to
bring them to the Jail at Green
vile for safe keeping. The route
was lonely one and the trip
was necessarily slow. At about 3
o'clock Sunday morning, at a turn of
the road, the party was suddenly SUR
rounded by armed men, who seemed to
spring from both sides of the road.
The posse was covered with Winches-
tiers, and under pain of instant death
was halted. Reports say that there
were about 100 men in the attacking
party, all heavily armed. They made
short work of it. Taking the five ne
groes, they tied their hands and then
the shuddering wretches were taken
one at "a time and were hanged to the
limbs of the trees that lined the r II.

French Naval Tactics.

And now, for the first time in his
life, he had the opportunity Of study
ing the theory and technic of his pro-
fession on a large scale. Admiral La
Motte-Picquet, Admiral Count d'Orvil-
liers, and especially the chief of staff,
Chevalier du Pavilion, were accom-
plished tacticians. True it is, their
tactics had rarely been able to with
stand more than few broadsides fran
the unscientific English; but Paul
Jones not only grasped the theory fully
that naval warfare is a great and far
reaching science, but he put it in prac-
tice-which the French had singularly
overlooked. Then was presented the
spectacle, not devoid of humor, of Paul
Jones sitting at the feet of the French
commanders, penetrated with admira-
ton at ''the French tactic" as he calls
it, while sixty-six French ships of the
line hung on to their anchors, closely
blockaded by the ignorant English,
who were VERY deficient in naval tao

things were made even by the English
