To President Mrs Maria Holmes, be-
loved wife of Rev. James II. Holmes.
Our Father in His Unerring Provi-
scenes of life to that sweet and Heav-
enly repose, our honored President
and beloved sister, Maria Holmes.
As President for ten years of our So
ciety, a co-worker in cause so dear
to Our hearts we have learned to love
and respect her. Deeply felt are the
pangs of sorrow that fall now as a pail
upon us. With each throbbing heart
and fieeting breath the chord moves
steadily on that draws Us nearer and
nearer to our home.
Years of labor and of service were
filled with the victories of many q bat
tie upon whose field the ripened grain
were gathered and garnered not for
herself but for loves sake to God and
man.
The conflict is Ger,
The battle RACES,
Life's work is done,
We gather our shields about us;
And start afresh for the fray.
Life is earnest, life is real,
Death is not its goal.
But far beyond in the fields above,
Where blossom and bloom the plants
of love,
We shall meet no more to part.

his condition had totally unbalanced
his mind early in the day. On the af-

and was talking with his wife in their
parlor, when he reached for his pocket,
and drawing his knife pretended as

across his throat, and throwing the
weapon on the floor rushed out OF the

who found him in the yard trying to
butt his brains out against pile of
bricks. Soon the screams of his wife
brought assistance, and che man was
stopped in his spasmodic actions.

George NJ. Anderson told of tracking
the lynchers and finding the corpse.
He supposed from the number of
tracks at the fatal tree that there
were from fifteen to twenty men and
eight or ten vehicles.
DR.. Otis NJ. Linthicum stated that
he thought Randolph came to his
death from strangulation. and that his
neck was not broken. The wounds on
: his head were mere scalp wounds, and
did not extend TO the bone. He was a
well-developed and powerfully built
man.

He said that when he was aroused
some one called out that deputy
sheriff from Brookyifle was there with
a prisoner He said he opened the
door, and two men were struggling on
the steps. One said, Step up, won't
hurt YOU" When he opened the door
he saw one beckon toward the corner
OF the Jail, and he slammed the door,
but the men pushed IN. They told
him TO unlock the doors, which he re-
fused TO do, but with several revolvers
levelled at his head, he yielded to the
request to hand over the keys. He
says that it took themmuch less time
to open the doors and get to Randolph
than it does him.

A STRIKING SCENE.

The justice and jurymen proceeded
to the scene of the lynching, where
Randolph's body was still suspended.
