OUTRAGED YOUNG GIRL.
A Negroes Crime-A Lynching Narrowly
Ayerted.


Averted.
A special to the Lynchburg NeaOs,
dated Bristol, Va, Sept. 18th, says
"Today about 100 p. M. young ne
gro named Kit Leftwich waylaid and
outraged fourteen-year- old white girl
of good family, named Fagarty, one
mile from town. He had choked her
into submission, when two negro men,
having heard her cries. appeared on the
scene. Leftwich then attempted to es-
cape, but had delayed too long. He
was chased for two miles through the
hills by the negro men. He knocked
them down repeatedly but a white man
appeared with a rifle and the fiend was
brought to Bristol and lodged in Jail
The girl was found to be badly in
jured and her relatives soon appear ed,
looking for blood. Quite large crowd
collected around the Jail, and trouble
was imminent. The mayor swore in
some extra policemen and rushed the
negro to the train. The crowd attempt.
ed to take him and firearms were de-
veloped to considerable extent. By
quick work, however, he was placed on
the east bound vestibule. Even then
some one attempted to put rope
neck. Shooting was expected at any
moment and some passengers left the
train, which quickly pulled away.
fThe negro was taken to Smyth coun-
ty Jail. The authorities have promised
to convene special grand jury for his
case, and say that the prospects are
good for legal termination of the case
within thirty days"
ACCIDENT AT GREENwOOD.-Mis
Irene Langhorne was badly hurt Thurs

horne and Mr. q ibson were both thrown
from the vehicle. The lady received a
severe injury in one of her knees and
Mr.. Gibson sprained his right hand
painfully and as it was at first reported
quite seriously. A more authentic re-
port, however, states that his injury
was insigniclnt.-Cha ChTOn-

Took Poison and Died Laughing.

Mrs. Kate Alamada, of New York
city, who had always held that death
should be merry, took poison, called in
a neighbor to see the joke and laughed
until she fell unconscious.
A common habit of Mrs. Alamada
has been to talk to the other women
living in the house about the beauties
of death. She argued that as mortals
came into the world wailing they
should leave it laughing.
81 want to die merrily," she often
said. why should we dread going
into the next world? 1t must be better
than this. 1t cannot be worse. Some
day will show you how merrily can
die. I'll poison myself and laugh until
my soul takes it's flight"

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 6, 1885,
Four young Japanese belonging to the
Japanese Christian Mission, of this city,
went to Chinese restaurant, at Wa
verify place, in the Chinese quarter, on
Wednesday evening. They received
good attention and what was pres um-
ed to be good meal was served.
Shortly after they left the place they
were all taken seriously ill, and a doc
tor was summoned. He found that they
had been poisoned, and antidotes were
administered, but with little effect, and
after few hours of agony one of the
victims died. The doctors have de
SPARED of the lives of the other three
as the poison used is very virulent.
1t is supposed that the enmity which
exists between the two nations was the
cause of the crime on the part of the
Chinese.

JAPAN ACQUIRING BATTLE SHIPS
The purpose of Japan to maintain her
position in the East as the first naval
power of that quarter of the globe is
illustrated by the contract just given
to a Glasgow firm for five warships,
costing in the aggregate $25, 900.
For So, 100000 a very fair battle-ship
may be had, and this is probably the
class of ship the Mikado wants. 1t
takes that kind of a vessel to gain and
keep the sovereignty of the sea-
Cruisers are very good for cruising,
but to win fight one wants a boat
that can take as we'll as give hard
knocks. Japan will fight Russia some
day, it is believed, and she seems to be
getting ready.--Baltimor Sun.

the exhibit of the United States Mint
at the Cotton States and International
Exposition. The most popular feature
will be steel press striking off SOU

The Smithsonian exhibit arrived
last Thursday morning. 1t consisted
of seven car loads of exhibits and was
accompanied by Major Henry Koran.
Major Koran says of the exhibit: ut
will far excel any ever made by the
Smithsonian Institution. 1t is not so
large as that made at Chicago, but is
more complete, and will surpass it.
