proclamation fo%rbidding fishing and
bathing in these waters, the only ones
for miles around. The servant of a
judge, nevertheless, went in swimming.

guards placed by the prince. When it

OUTRAGE IN FLORIDA.
Negro Orange Pfckers Driven Out OF
Lee County and Some Killed.

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 11.-Nearly two hun
dred half-starved and terrorized colored
men were brought here to-day on the
steamer Lawrence. from Lee county. The
colored men were hired last week to go
to Lee county TO pick oranges. When they
reached Fort Meyers they were ordered
TO leave. being told they could not work in
Z Lee county. They showed resistance, when
armed whites surrounded them and
marched them to the wharf, where they
were kept under guard for two days till
the steamer returned. They were given
nothing to eat, and feared they would be
massacred, as their guards kept up a con-
slant fusillade. Twelve of the colored men
became SO terrorized that they leaped over
board and. IL Is thought, were drowned.
Several others tried to run, but were shot.
The colored men say the bodies OF those
shot were thrown into the river. Those
who returned brought back circulars is
sued by citizens. saying: Lee is a white
mans country, and negroes must stay
away. under pain OF DEATH
A. ". Lane. prominent resident of Fort
Meyers. confirms the story OF outrage. He
says white men have been visiting camps
OF orange pickers and firing into them
until nearly all colored people have fed
the county. He says many have undouet-
edly been killed. Orange trees In Lee
were uninjured by the freeze last winter
and Lane says a conspiracy has been
formed TO prevent fruit being picked and
thus force owners who live in other States
TO abandon groves Then the conspirators
hope to get the groves for a song.

MENACED BY A MOB
THREATS MADE TO BURN THE KAN
sAS MEDICAL COLLEGE.
ON the Dissecting Table-Troops
Held in Readiness.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE recent re-
voting grave robberies In this city have
aroused the people to the highest pitch of
Indignation, and at o'clock tonight
mob began forming In the streets. the
avowed purpose being to burn the Kansas
Medical College. in which. during the past
three days. the bodies of-fw0-weff=Rrfown-'
women have been found. Both had been
stolen from their graves soon after burial.
The police learned this afternoon that
there was a movement on foot to assemble
q mob to sack the institution, which is To-
Gated at Twelfth and Taylor streets. This
evening the faculty of the college called
on the police for protection. The students
were all sent home and a large squad of
policemen was detailed to guard the college
building A detail of militiamen from Bat
terry B, OF this city, is stationed at their
arsenal to prevent capture OF the arms
stored there. On the request of the sheriff
the Governor has ordered the infantry COM
pany at Lawrence to be ready to respond
to a call at any moment. The men are now
assembled at the station at Lawrence.
While 1t Is believed the precautions that
have been taken will prevent any violent
demonstration tonight. the men I'm the
streets are loud I'm their threats. All the
A. o. z. ". lodges met tonight to de-
nounce the outrage and demand full in
vestigation to discover the ghouls.
Yesterday A. N. Drake, OF North Topeka.
whose wife died last week. discovered her
grave had been robbed. Tho corpse was
found at the Kansas Medical College. On
Monday l. o. Van Fleet, who had buried
his wife but few hours before. found her
mutilated and disfgured remains on the
dissecting table at the college. This dis
covery resulted in the arrest of s. A. John
son, a student, who acts as janitor of the
institution. At o'clock p. H. Lillis identi-
fed the third body at the college as that
of his mother. who died recently. These
revelations were the cause OF to-nights
demonstration.
Late tonight the mob, on the advice OF
the officials dispersed. Great Indignation
prevails throughout the city that the au-
thorities OF the college should permit the
robbing of graves when they could secure
all the bodies from the cities by paying
pressage. The United Workmen resolved
not to employ in their families any of the
physicians connected with the college, and
denounced Governor Morrill, for calling out
the militia
Rochester Cemetery, from which the bod
les were stolen, is used by the poorer
classes OF this city, and Is in a secluded
nook, where the graye-robber can work
unmolested. Many persons whose relatives
have been buried there recently, went out
to-day to open the graves and satisfy them
selves that the bodies had not been dis
turbed.
