DR.. D

Travelled in Carriages,

Dispatches received in Atlanta from
Talbottou Wednesday fully confirm
the reported lvnching near here Tues
day night OF DR.. w. L. Rider, who
murdered Miss Sallie Emma Owen at
Tallbotton a year ogo. Judge Hart,
on the evidence that Col. Worri!l OF
Columbus, the leading counsel for
Ryder, could not be preset, due 10
sickness, continued the case until tho
regular term in September. DR.. Ry

been returned to Muscogse jill In the
800 p. m. train was taken to Waverly
Hall, the nearest station from Talbot.
ton, for that purpose. In a lew min
utes after the deputies arrived With
their prisoner at the station the mob
drove up and took the prisoner by
force from the Off ,ers and returned
with him to a point just across the
county line and lynched him. His
body was found hanging from a limb
at an early hour this 'morniag. His
tongue Was out and his face Was hor-
ribly blackene5.
Deputy Sheriff Murphy, who was in
charge of the prisoner, says that ne, in
company with Mr.. Boswell and Dr..
Ryder, reached Waverly Hall lst be-
fore dark, in a carriage, and that the
doctor was seated in the rear sea with
his feet upon the back OF the seat in
front. He sat on the left sid of Ry.
der and Boswell on the seat in front.
Just after dark, Boswell, who was
looking out of the carriage window,
exclaimed: "Look out, tners is a mao
on horse"
There they come, he shouted, and
in an instant the two deputies, Muir
ply and Boswell, were on the ground
and found themselves covered bJ PTS
tolls in the hands of an Infatuated
mob.
The mob ordered them to throw up
their hands and deliver their pistols.
This, Murphy says, he refusad to do at
first, but, his pistol was sn atched from
his hands. Then he began to beg and
plead with the crowd for the safety oil
his prisoner, but was Immediately
ordered to shut his mouth. Ryder
made but little resistance to the moo,
and while they we're drawing him
from the carriage did not utter one
word. The helpless wretch was taken
to another carriage close by and
thence back to Talbot county and
hung to a tree just over the lin in
Talbot county, near the homs OF J. Q.
Willis.
The mob, while returning with Ry'
der from Waverly Hall, was met by
Sheriff Richards and his party, bu'
owing to the darkness of the night the
sheriff could not distinguish the per
sons nor gain any clue to their identi
ty. Richards was informed by the
men who had Ryder IN charge that he
was too late, SO ne pushed on to Wav.
erly Hall, only to find that he had
been misled, and at that time Ryder
was suspended from the limb of a tree,
where his remains were discovered
short time after wards.
The reason assigned Wednesday fol
the action of the mob is that the peo
pie were tired of the casa being con
tinued, but the fact is that the friend!
of the prosecution had given up al
hope of ever bringing Ryder to ths
gallows by reason of his being hope
lessly insane.

II SUGAR TRUST.
The Standa d OH Company Secures Cor.
troll Of the Bonanza

The Stands d OH Company Secures Con.
troll Of tho onsuz
Julius Chambers, writing in the
New York Journal of July II, has the
following to say about the Sugar Trust
and the Standard Oil Company:
Congress having guaranteed a IL
per cent. annual dividend, and dona-
ted a $13, 900, 900 bonus to the Sugar
Trust, the Standard Oh Company,
knowing a good thing when it sees 1t,
has entered the open market and Sc.
cured control of the saccharine bonan,
"a. 1t was the safest speculation ever
presented to the Rockefellers. They
knew that the Sugar Trust o~ntrolled
80 per cent. of the entire sugar output,
while the Standard Company only
had absolute sway over so per cent.
of all the oil produced. Therefore.
they and their friends have bought
fully 300. 900 of lis 375, 900 shares of
co nmon stock, and hencsforth, doubt
less will manage it on the same lines
that have character Z ID the rule or
ruin policy of the Standard Oil Trust.
This, in brief, is the explanation of
the sensational incidents that have
bsen occurring in Wall Street since
Monday.
The Sugar Trust maguates had con
6deuce in Congress. The small hold
ers have been weeded out. When the
extra session was summoned sugar
was 10; yesterday it touched 146 IA.
Until the last two days the stock has
been slowly acquired by the Standard
Oil people. Then Wall Street awoke
to the situation, and the determined
men who had resolved to control the
sugar market of the world completed
their capture in a splendid and mast
erly manner.
Any old campaigner on that Bar
barry Coast would have understood the
battle. The chimes of Trinity Church
! have been drowned for two days past
F.! by the cries of the victors aud the
groans of the wounded. Resolute
| meo, heroes in COM mercial life, were
caught on the short side of the mar
| ket, and were compelled to surrender
and settle at ter! bic sacrifices. The
| Sugar Trust was passing into new
! hands, and the frenz!ed brokers who
sd gree6iiy ravished its stock from
