A MOB Is FEARED.
The Calhoun County Murderers Now in the
Terrell County jail May Be Lvpched.


The superior court of Calhoun county
is in session this week, and officers are
expected here daily to take John Bailey
General Fisher and Jesse Handy to
Morgan for trial These negroes are
charged with assassinating Mr.. Julian
King in Calhoun county, and we're
brought to Dawson and confined in the
Terrell county jail to escape mob which
formed tC lynch them soon after their
arrest several weeks ago. Indignation
and excitement still run high over the
crime, and it is freely predicted that
when the prisoners are taken back f r
their trial they will be dealt with by a
mob. The Morgan correspondent of tt e
Calhoun Courier says of the prospects OF
a lynching
''In place like this court week is
always looked forward to with interest,
but this year an unusual amount of in
terest and anxiety is felt by our people
because it has been prophesied that, no
matter what action the court may tako
in the King murder case, the negroes
implicated will be hanged; not by our
townsmen, for they are law abiding, but
by the mob that paraded our town some
ume since, coming from the lower part
of the county,"

as the architect for the new Capitol building.
His design of the new state building was
adopted.
The fourteen Capitol plans have been open
to public inspection for the past two days
Several Philadelphia architects explained
their respective plans to the commission yes
terday, but none of the members were favor.
ably impressed.
The plan adopted provides for more light
than any of the other plans, and will, with
the proposed department buildings, occupy
less ground, and consequently will not cut up
the park so much. The adoption of this de-
sign. however, will cost more than the pre-
scribed S550,00O This is admitted by the
author, who proposes that it shall not be sur
mounted with a dome until subsequent
legislature shall make an appropriation for
the addition Of this ornamental feature.
Mr. Cobb's plan provides for legislative
building with front Of liz feet and a depth
of about $50 feet. The design contemplates
ultimately but one building, with frontage
of about 4sO feet, which would extend about
forty feet farther than the two buildings
occupied by the department Of internal
affairs and the adjutant generals and other
Offices

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Visitors to the Fair Narrowly Escape
Death.


A party Of town excursiOnists who were
returning from the Lavelle fair last evening
had q miraculous escape from DEATH The
party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Blaker and their five children of South Jar
din street, and their guests, Joseph Syrad and
wife, Philadelphia. They were about to cross
the p. & R. tracks at the Hammond colliery,
whom Mr.. Baker heard the noise of an en-
gine. He looked ahead, but falling to see
any headlight, drove on, thinking the sound
came from the Lehigh road Just as he drove
on the track the left front wheel of his
carriage got caught in the rail and snapped
off. As the driver was about to jump out
he saw the headlight of an approaching p. &
Il. engine drawing rapidly nigh He called
to his friend, Mr.. Syrad, and both jumped to
the front of the carriage and reached
the horses. At the same time they
caused the horses to make leap. The
fortunate occupants just cleared the tracks
as the train passed. The train was stopped
and the crew quickly returned expecting to
see more serious situation of affairs than
resulted Another exciting incident was the
saving Of one Of the boys life by his oldest
brother. The former was about 10 jump
directly in front Of the engine, but was held
back. All in the party escaped injury and
the damage done to the carriage was slight
The excursioniEts returned to town on a
trolley car.

DEATH OF DIR. MATTER.
sucOumbed This Morning After an Illness
Of Several Weeks.

George f. Matter, NJ D., died at about
three o'clock this morning at his home on
East Oak street. His demise was not un-
expected Mr.. Matter had been ailing since
last June, but his condition did not cause ap-
! prehension until about five weeks ago, when
4 he went to Ocean Grove, N. j., expecting TO
spend two weeks there in recuperation, but
grew rapidly worse after an absence of few
days and returned to town. Upon arrival
home he went to bed and remained there
until he died. Cerebrospinal meningitis is
the assigned cause Of death. The patient
was under the care Of Drs. J. s. Callen and
d. J. Langton, and DR.. Carpenter was called
in consultation last Tuesday, when it became
evident that the chances Of recovery were
very slight.
DR.. Matter was born in Gratz, Dauphin
county, on August Ia, 1910. When young
man he became a recruiting officer in the
Pennsylvania Volunteers and subsequently
accepted a hospital stewardship in the cloth
Regiment After considerable service in
that capacity during the war he entered the
jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia and
graduated from that institution in 1886 He
settled in Liverpool, Pa, and finally in
Williamstown, where he remained II years
He then went to Virginia, but after resi-
dence Of about year and a half there re-
turned temporarily to Harrisburg and in
May 1888, moved to Shenandoah to succeed
in the practice of DR.. J. b. Davis. Upon
taking up his residence here Dr. Matter
at once identified himself with the
Methodist Episcopal church and became one
Of the most Jealous and consistent workers
in the interest of the congregation and Sun
day school. He was devotedly attached to |
the work and the practice of his profession. |
The deceased is survived by his wife, two |
sons and two daughters. The eldest child is |
seventeen years old and the youngest about
eleven. The funeral will take place on
Monday, 25th inst, at 1 p. M, from the

cOpal church, and interment will take place |
