Murder and Suicide.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Alexander
Nemetty, butcher OF Yonkers, mur-
dered his stepdaughter, Mary Witkowsky
today and then killed himself. The cause
OF the crime was the refusal by the girl
of imporpsr proposals made by Nemetty.
She was only 16 years old, and OF late
had frequently repulsed her setpfather's
advances.

There are some very wholesome
provisions in the dispensary law
that have SO far escaped the atten-
ton Of many persons who should
be very much Interested in their
onforccment.. The dispenser is
liable to Il fine of five hundred
dollars for selling to a drunkard,
or any one who buys for n drunk
ard. Any one who tells the dis
penscr Il lie to get whisl1ey is lia-
bic to the same punishment.
Somebody lied last woell to get
whiskey, and q detective is now
on the lookout for the gontloman.
If he is caught up with his free
dom or his pocket book ono will
bo curtailed. Those have folks
and friends which they wish to
have protected, can sond their
names in to dispenser Craig, who
will put them on his black list.
furthermore, it is just as crimi-
lal under the law to give q drunk
ard whislley, as 1t is to buy it for
him. or sell it to him. There are
three or four colorcd individuals
in Pickons now liable to do duty

Hanged, But Still Lives.

TUsKERGEE, ALA, Nov. %.
Last Friday, colored man named
Henry Dawson was hanged here for
murder by the sheriff He was a large
200 FOUNDER, and when the trap was
sprung, fell so hard that he almost
broke the rope. Fifteen minutes after
after the fall he was cut down and the
physicians present pronounced him
dead from strangulation. His body
was turned over to his friends for
burial A cOlored man named Reuben
Rice now comes forward with the
statement that Dawson is not dead
that as soon as the wagon was outside
Of town, the lid Of the coffin was pried
of and whiskey and other restoratives
applied with the result that the sup
posed corpse was resuscitated and af
ter an hour or two was recovered suf-
fciently to walk. The evidence as to
the truth of the statement is that the
colored man having the corpse in
charge has left this neighborhood and
no evidence Of a newly made grave can
be found about the Buchanan place
where Dawson was to have been buried

DR.. OURRY's EXPLANATION.

DIR. j. l.. N. CURRY, the agent for
the distribution of the Peabody Fluid
gives an explanation of the language
used by him at Shaw University. Raj
eigh, n. c.. which does not explain.
In writing to Hon. JOHN S, PoTTER of
Fredericksburg, Va, he says:
Il did not furnish any report of the
address, had no notes. and would find
il very ditficult-in fact, impossible
TO reproduce in whole or in part what
Isaid Unless all the surroundings could
bs brought before you and my tone
and manner and spirit be photograph
ed and Photographed, you would be
wholly misled by the extracts you
have furnished me-, think ] can give
you the tenor. and purport of what !
said on the three points, embraced in
the report.
First, as to the United States flag
over school houses, 1 was explaining
what the Southern States had done for
tire education of the Negro, and refer
ed incidentally TO the defeat in Con-
gress of the bill for national aid, and
then stated that il was a deception to
create the impression that the schools
were established or supported by the
Federal government So far as North
Carolina was concerned, she had not
received anything for education, ex-
cept IN the laws, for agricultural and
! mechanical colleges. l have no objev-
tion to the flag being over the school
house, but think the State flag should
float there with it.
And again:
Second, as to the congestion of the
Negroes in the South and their refusal
to cmigrate northward, it was in large
degree jocuiar, and was received as
such by both black and white auditors
1t seemed TO me, he viewer. to show
that the Southern white people were
not, in the judgment of the Negroes
their enemies
lie says further:
Third, as to suffrage, l expressed
my firm belief that a man who coulC
not read his ballot should not have tn,
privilege of voting, ard / think ! sale
, the Massachusetts law on that subjec
! had my hearty approval. The student
GALL colored) met and passed most com
plimen tsry resolutions after left
This explanation of what L intend
ed to say and what, substantially,
d id say, will show you my opinion ant
the spirit in which they were uttered
l. is rather amusing after all hav
said and written and endured i'm tn
way of reproaches, that should b
even inferentially charged with sayin
word against the flag or throwing
straw in the way of the progress of tn
Negro"
: This is an admission that the repor
of what he did say, as published in tn
daily press was substantially correct
q and our criticism of it stands.
1t is indeed unfortunate that di
plomat, possessing DIR. CURRY's abilit
should have been at this late da
+; guilty of such an egregious !blundei
. and develop such want of prope
discretion.

which he based his action.
1t is conceded that the Governor was
right in his contentious. but he clinch-

precedents which leave even the State

Alfred Daniels, alias Frank Williams
who, it is alleged, was connected with
the burning OF J. ID. StringfellOW's
barn about five miles west OF the city
some few months since and whowas
arrested in Jacksonville few days ago
on the charge of arson, was lynched
about five miles north of the city Obout
2 o'clock this morning. Deputy Sher-
fl Rives, in whose charge the prisoner
was, was travelling by private convey
ance from Waldo and was accompanied
by Paul Reynolds and colored lad
about fourteen years old, when guns
we're stuck in their faces and they we're
ordered TO stop Part of tho mob still
held the deputy and driver covered
with guns while the others succeeded
in pulling the prisoner out of the car
riage and after ordering the driver to
proceed. to make tracks, they took the
colOred man TO a nearby tree and
hanged him. Deputy Rices could de-
scribe none of the mob. as it was very
dark and he said they look as if their
faces had been blackened
