THEY PAY THE DEATH PENALTY
Two Alabama Negro Murderers Hanged
for Their Horrible Crimes.

Two Alabama Negro Murderers Hanged
for Their Horrible Crimes.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June Sat 1900
o'clock p. m. yesterday, in Jefferson
county Jail yard in this city, in the
presence of an immense crowd, Leo
Harris and Abe Mitchell paid the PEN
atty of the horrible murder for which
they had been tried, convicted and SEN
fenced. They died game. and death
resulted from strangulation.
In the latter part of February one
night these two negroes Matched up
devilish plan to lay in wait, In Capitol
park, on one of the principal streets of
this city, and kill the first person who
came along alone and rob him. No
single person showed up and they
thereupon went in the northern part of
the city and killed in cold blood n me-
gro merchant named Meriwether and
robbed his till. They were arrested
through the persistent efforts Of Cap
tain Donaldson, of the police force, and
confessed their crime.
They not only confessed to the crime
of killing Meriwether, but nearly
score of others, among which was the
cold blooded assassination of a man
named Thornton near the fair grounds,
three miles from this city, and an as
sault upon an old farmer near East
Lake, six miles from here, when they
shot him down because he refused tn
give them money and food. The string
OF crimes which they committed would
fill twenty pages in closely printed
hook

THE APPEAL CASE UP
Arguments Heard i'm the South
Carolina Registration Case.
ATTORNEY BARBER OPENS FOR STATE
The Trend OF HIS RcmRrka Was That the
Federal Court Had no Jurisdiction
I'm the PrcmIses-Mr. DouglasS
Appears for Petitioners. /

RICHMOND, Va. June s.-ArRument
in the South Carolina registration case
was begun in the United States circuit
court of appeals yesterday before Chief
Justice Fuller, Judges Hughes and
Seymour.
Attorney General Barber opened for
the state of South Carolina. The trend
of his opening remarks was that the
federal courts had no jurisdiction In the
premises. He said it was set forth by
Judge Golf that the petitioner was a
colored man, and therefore the refusal
of the laws of South Carolina to permit
him to vote was in violation of the ff-
teenth amendment of the constitution.
Mr.. Barber called the attention of
the court to the fact that nowhere in
the record did this fact-that the petit
toner was colored-appear, though it
the lower court, and very prominently
brought to the attention of Judge Goh
when he granted the injunction.
The attorney general stated that i'm
stead of providing for discrimination
against any voter, the law set forth
that any male citizen, regardless of
race, color or condition, who had resid-
ed in the state for one year, was enti-
tied to vote. 1t was not the law, he
said, that caused Judge Golf to hold
that voters were being denied their
privileges, but it was the abuse of the
law by people ostensibly working un-
der it. He contended that the law
should not be held responsible for dere-
lictions of election officers.
Mr.. Douglas made the opening speech
for the petitioner. He prefaced his ar
gument with the statement that though
he and his associate, Mr.. O'Bear, APP
peared in opposition TO the cause of the
states, they were in no sense against
the state Except that they were en-
deavoring to bring about right) In
addressing himself to the question OF
the jurisdiction of the u. 8. court no
said that if a wrong WIS committed,
and the effort of that wrong was to
disfranchise voter, and thereby inn
peril the federal elections, he contend
ed that federal court in question had
jurisdiction. The law, he said, was in
violation of section i, article IA, of the
of the United States. Mr..
douglas, continuing, directly attacked
the law aud argued that it was enacted
simply for the purpose of disfranchis-
ing the negro vote.

BUSINESS coNpI1loNs QUIET.
The Speculative spirit Which Dominated
Few Days Ago Less Conspicuous.

NEW YORK, June s.-Bradstreets to-
day says:
The speculative spirit which seemed to DOM
mate both commercial and financial circles
until within week or ten days past In still
less conspicuous in all lines. Demand for
staple goods In a number OF instances Is small
or. notably at Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago and
Kansas City, particularly in dry goods De-
mand for which at first and second hands has
declined, is customary at this period.
While business throughout the country may,
therefore, be characterized as quieter, the
tone Of staple markets continues strong, and
cannot figure in good demand when the fall
season opens next month remains unabated.
The features Of the week as heretofore is the
continued long list OF advances in prices nota-
bly, those for iron and STEEL and the upward
movement OF bank clearings. Higher prices
are recorded for some cotton goods, shoes.
hides, leather. paper pig iron, steel, galvani-
zed iron. black sheets, canned goods. hogs.
wheat, corn, oates and some grades OF wheat
-four. Prices for live cattle, wool coal and
lumber are reported unchanged and firm, while
silver. cotton, petroleum and lard alone are
noteworthy as showing lower prices than last
week.
Southern cities in most instances report
trade and collections only fafr, with no special
change from last week. AS light gain in de-
mand is reported from Atlanta and Jackson
vile, where collections are also better. The
improvement in the condition of business
ported at New Orleans week ago continues.

GATHER AT MEMPHIS
Prospects Encouraging for an
Enormous Delegation.
ADVANCE GUARD NOW ON THE SCENE.
One of the Largest Conventions Ever Held
i'm This country to Consider a Ques.
tion of Political Economy-De-
sire to Meet the Other.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 10.-There as
sembles in Memphis next Wednesday
one of the largest conventions ever held
to consider a single question of politi-
cal economy in this country.
The present indications point to a
magnificent vindication of the pro-
moters of the movement to settle south
ern and western silver people together
in great legislative body. The call
was actuGted by the holding of the big
convention in this city on May 23rd,
when the opponents of free coinage,
living in the south, sent delegates to
hear Secretary Carlisle speak and to
give expression to their views on the
money question in series of well de-
fined resolutions. The meeting of the
opponents of the free coinage of silver
was looked upon as the Inauguration
of strong and vigorous campaign OF
education along the line of the dele
gates views and the bimetallic league
considered it imperative to take action
that would counteract the influence of
its opponents.
All southern and western states will
be represented and delegates have been
appointed In the larger c1L1eS. III looks
as though 1900 or 1000 delegates viii
participate in the proceedings of TIA
gathering. They are coming rfb,
every county of Mississippi, almS
everywhere in Arkansas and Tennese
see, and the representation from Louis
lana, Georgia and Alabama will be
very nearly as large.
Dispatches have been received daily
for the past week announcing the COM
ing of silver delegations from every
quarter and tonight the hotels will be-
gin to eli with enthusiastic supporters
of free coinage.
Besides the delegates who will come
to Memphis while the convention is in
progress, indications now point to the
presence of at least 10000 visitors.
The railroads have put on the reduced
rate tickets and in several instances will
run special trains for the accommoda-
tion of those who will come. The FIVE
roads will run specials from all points
within $50 miles of the city.

WASHINGTON, June Sat five o'clock
yesterday afternoon the following ap-
pointments were announced from the
White house: Secretary of State, Rich
ard Olney, of Massachusetts, Attorney
General. Judson Harmon, of Ohio.
Mr.. Harmon is a man about so years
of age, possibly few years over that,
and resident of Cincinnati. His name
had not been used in the gossip about
the successor to Mr.. Olney except pos
sibly in private. For some years he
was judge of the court of common pleas
OF Hamilton county, and upon the re-
moval of Ex-Governor Hoadley to New
York he became the head of the law
firm with which the latter had been
connected. He is said to be one of the
foremost lawyers of the central states

POSSIBLY LYAcoLoReD CHAPLAIN
Kentucky Representatives Helping Out
That TO Their Constituents.

Ihaf TO Their constituents.
WASHINGTON, juno IO.-It may be
that the next house of representatives
will have colored man for its chap
lain. At least Representative-elect
Walter Evans. of the fifth Kentucky
district, is holding out that promise to
the colored people who were very in
strumental in his election. Mr.. Evans
is now working up the republicans of
Kentucky for the support of the repub-
lican nominee for the governorship.
He has among the people there good
many followers who are ministers of
colored churches and while it is not
known that he has promised any one of
them his support, he has declined his
belief that, the fifty fourth congress
being republican in politics, should
recognize the colored race by having a
colored man as its chaplain. 1t is un-
derstood that all of the five republi
can representatives elected to the next
congress from Kentucky concur with
Mr.. Evans in this view. and that this
movement among the colored people is
solidifying them in the support of the
republican nominee.

THE SOUTH RICH WITH GOLD.
A Process Which May Help Southern
Mining Interests.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Mr. A. Hark
ness, British vice consul at Charleston,
s. c., reports to the British foreign
office as to the recent gold discoveries
in that locality. He says some of the
largest nuggets are said to have weigh
ed two, three and four pounds, and one
nugget contained seven pounds of solid
gold. He is of the opinion that the
mines would pay if leRitimately opera
ted. Mr.. Hardness points out that the
new chlorine process will render val
liable hundreds of gold mines now ly-
ing idle in North Carolina, South Car
olina and Georgia, and make it possible
to get millions of dollars of bullion out
of them. He thinks it possible with
the introduction of this new process
that the south will become one of the
richest gold producing countries in the
world.
