HIS RAZOR WAS RED
And His Antagonist Was Minus a Slice of
His Capnt.

Montgomery, May 19.-(Special) ITO
night about 8 O'Clock the guests and
loungers in the Exchange hotel lobby
were treated to the spectacle of fight
and cutting ARRAY, which came near
resting in the death Of one of the favor
lite bell boys of the hostelry. Two of the
boys, Oscar London and Archie Sulli-
van, had been quarreling for some days
over tip received and appropriated by
London, which Sullivan claimed was
rightfully his. Tonight hot words were
exchanged and Sullivan drew his razor
and carved off large slice of London's
head, severing an artery.
Archie had chased Oscar into the la
dies entrance and displayed his skill
with the weapon of his race in the
presence of Mrs. West and a party of
ladies, who were just entering the hotel
at the time. They were very much
frightened. but none of them tainted at
sight of the negro's gore
London came near bleeding to death,
and was taken to Knobs drug store,
near by, and the flow of blood staunched
just in time to save his life.
Sullivan fled with the dripping razor in
his hand after the cutting, and has not
yet been captured.

A Swiss Sailor Takes Flying Trip on
Fast Mail Deadhead.

Fast mail No. 1, southbound, on the
Alabama Great Southern, brought in a
passenger at 1854 o'clock this morning
who wore neither plug hat nor dia-
monds, yet he had berth on the sleeper
and was riding deadhead The air brake
rods worked hard as the train pulled
under the shed and the engineer so noti-
fled the car inspector. 1t was at once sur
missed that a passenger was on board
who had not shown himself to the con-
ductor.
Police Officer Johnson was called and
a search began. Every nook and corner
was searched and finally a Swiss sailor,
almost in rags and with poor makeshift
fon shoes on, was hauled out from on the
air brake rods, between the trucks of
the middle sleeper. He came out smiling
covered.
On being questioned as to what he was
doing under the car he said: my shoes
were bad and l could not walk any
more"
He hailed from Baltimore and said he
had boarded the train at Alfalfa. When
asked If he had experienced any disa>
greeable feelings while the train was fly,
ing along he shook his head and laughed.
He said he was looking for work,
and when told that the judge on the
bench would fill his wants he again
laughed and said: "All right"
He was sent to the lookup and will
have an interview with his honor, Judge
Montgomery, this morning.

ST. ALBANS LAID WASTE.
LOSS, IRREGULARITIES OF A MILLION.
Fully Five Hundred People Are Without Shell
ter-Desperate Struggle With the
Wind-F Tanned Flames

st. Adams. VT, May 19.-The most dis
astrous fire which has ever occurred
here or that has ever visited Vermont
this afternoon laid, waste great portion
of the business section of this town.
The fire started at o'clock in the lum-
Der yard of W. B. Fonda, and a high
south wind caused the flames to enter
the very heart of the town. In five min
utes the fire was raging in dozen diff
ferent places and the fire companies were
powerless. The loss is estimated at $780,
600. Fully 500 people are tonight without
shelter. Forty business places were de-
stroyed, together with at least 100 tene-
ments, to say nothing of other places.
Abou. $50 o'clock help arrived from
Burlington, VT, and Swanton, VT. BY
this time, however, the fire was about
under control, although 1t extended its
lines here and there. The flames jumped
from the lumber yard to the center of the
town in an instant, passing over ter
ritory fully 500 yards in extent without
doing any damage.
From the center of the town the fire
passed northward, destroying in its prog
ress the new government building, the
extensive plant of the St. Adams Daily
Messenger and many business houses
and tenementS.
The flames are now under control, but
are being steadily watched to prevent a
second outbreak.

A FIENDISH DEED.
Two Poor Negroes Flayed to Death
With Buggy Traces for Petty
Theft

Ineft.
The details of an ugly lynching
which occurred in this State Monday
has come to light. 1t took place down
in Colleton county near the Barnwell
and Hampton lines. The dead bodies
of two of the victims, stripped of their
clothing, were found. one being an
old woman. They had been beaten to
death with new buggy traces, the mans
offence being that he was suspected of
having stolen Bible and some furni-
ture from church and the woman's
offense being that she was supposed to
know something of it. Liquor seems
to be the only excuse for the deed, if
excuse there can be.
A young negro, Isom Kearse, who
was suspected of stealing the Bible
from st. Nicholas church, was taken
by four or SIX Barnwell county men
and tied behind their buggy. They
drove so fast the tired negro sometimes
lost his footing and was dragged along
On the way two of the party were
sent back to get the negro's aged moth

young wife, girl about II years of
At the ferry theparty held up. When
the woman arrived, none of the three
would or could tell anything about the
church property. Upon their refusal
they were all three stripped naked
and beaten with new buggy trace,
which it is said was almost worn out.
The men was given about $50 lashes
and fell iusensible, his body being in n
terrible condition; the women were
likewise severely beaten. The man
several times pleaded with his tor
menters to shoot him. The old wo-
man broke away and dashed into the
woods. The young woman did
likewise, going in different direction.
The men built n fire near the insensible
negro, threw his old C oat over him and
left. On Wednesday morning his body
was found where it was left, cold in
5esth. It bad been there one night and
swamp, Iing in a pS1k - wan. y,
knee de p, was found the old VIZ H~
body, cold and stiff. She had iuiien
face downward with her hands ex-
tended.
The young woman managed to find
her way home. and is said to be in a
critical condition.
The coroner's jury has rendered a
verdict charging directly four promi-
nent men, one II physician, with the
crime. Others, who tried to prevent
the deed, gave the information.
