SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Preacher Murdered in Texas.

Rev. R. NJ. Williams. who had been
conducting a protracted meeting at
Mount Airy, in Cass county, Tex.
started to go TO near Buchanan, IN
Bowie county, to hold meeting there.
He failed to reach his destination, and
party was organized to search for
him. They traced him to point near
Wilson's ferry, on the Sulphur,
where he disappeared. The ferryman's
wife gave an accurate description of
Rev. Williams and his horse, and said
he had come to their house and that
her husband, Jerry Wilson. negro,
went off with him to put him over the
ferry. Wilson denied his wife's story.
About fifty armed men took hip in GUS
tody, and after repeatedly hanging and
otherwise torturing and threatening
him, extorted confession from him.
He said that he did not kill
the preacher himself, but that
two other negroes did, and
II they would spare his life he
would take them where the body had
been thrown in the sulphur This was
at night. The next day he declared
that he had made false statement to
save his life. The sheriff OF Bowie
county by this time had arrived and
took charge of the prisoner, and with
great difficulty managed to save him
from the mob and succeeded in getting
him in Jail. Search for Williams body
was continued, and it was found two
miles below the ferry, with the head
split open and entirely nude.

views very freely to the president, but
after the interview was very retcent
about the nature of the report he had
made. lie said the president had not
given him an outline of his policy.
THE PRESIDENT DEEpY IMPRESSED.
1t is evident. however, that the pres
ilent is deeply impressed with the
critical character OF the situation as
described by Gen. Lee, as it is under
stood that at the conference he strong
ly urged Consul-General Lee to re-
tain his office, at least tor the
present and to return to Havana, at
his earliest convenience. As it has
been strongly intinated for several
months that ex-Congresslnan Aldrich
would succeed Gen. Lee at Havana,
and that the latter would probably not
return, the presidents action is con-
strued to mean that he thinks it un-
advisable to make change at this
juncture.
LEE SAYS HE WILL RETURN TO CUBA.
Gen. Lee left here for Covington,
Va, but before his departure aimit-
ted that he would return to Cuba Us
soon as he had arranged his private
affair.", probably about the middle of
October In private conversation with
close personal friends, Gen. Lee has
expressed himself vigorously as to the
situation in Cuba, and has been very
emphatic in his condemnation of some
of Gen. Weyler's methods.

REASONS FOR INTERVENTION.
English Journal Points Out American

LONDON, Sept 2J.--The Speaker pub
fishes an article dealing with the
United States and Cuba. in the con-
cluding portion of which it says:
I'VE must not forget that America
has perfectly Legitimate business inter-
ests in Cuba. The United States gov
ernment can fni excellent reason to
intervene whenever it likes. 1t can
not stop the supply Of arms and men to
the insurgents except by an elaborate
policing of IA difficult coast, which pub
lie opinion would not stand. The policy
of the insurgents has been to drain
the Spanish resources. They have
been successful. The Spanish defeat
ut Victoria de las Tunas gives Spain
shock, which, it is hoped, will check
her drift toward bankruptcy and civil
war. Her first step is to recall Gen.
Weyler, Il step which the irrepressible
criticisms of his Heterogeneous ought
to facilitate. The next step is TO ar
range terms with the aid of the United
States. Otherwise Spain may have
greater danger to face after the meet
ings of congress in December, and GER
tainly she will be less able to face

WAR ON WHITECAPS.
Two Sherifs in the Saddle Against the
Night Riders.

CLARENDON, Ark. Sept. lS.-This
afternoon about o'clock Sheriff jack
son was telephoned to from Pine Bluff,
by citizens of Blackton, a small station
fourteen miles east of here. asking him
to come with posse and interrupt an
expected raid of whitecappers tonight.
For six weeks or more the eastern part
of Monroe county and the western part
of Phillips county have been frequently
raided by the whitecaps, whose noctur-
nal visits are becoming frequent and
intolerable. Sheriff Burke of Phillips
county has posters all over that county
offering reward for the capture and
conviction of parties engaged in such
pursuits. This morning there were
notices on more than IA dozen negro
families doors, warning them to vacate
in short order or they would be sum
marily dealt with.
1t has been claimed by one OF Black
tons substantial and reliable citizens
that it is not unusual to see whitecap-
pers ride through the streets of that
little burg. Labor is becoming de-
moralizcd, especially the negroes, and
some very prominent citizens are re-
ported to be fearful of going upon the
streets at night, and keep their houses
barricaded.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


During the week ended September IS
the temperature was warm and the pre-.
cipitation below the normal, as a rule.
The ma jority of the cotton reports show
a falling off IN the condition and YIELD
of that crop over the greater portion Of
the State. although good average crop
is indicated in some favored sections,
and better than last year. The cause
of the deterioration in cotton is attrib.
uted to shedding, rust, rot, worms and
the premature opening of the bolls.
The southern portion of the State has
received too much rain generally, and
drouth has been injurious over the north
portion in many sections. In the delta
and the overfowed lands, late frost
will be necessary to secure the full crop
which is very promising at present
Cotton continues to open fast, and pick
ing is progressing under the favorable
weather conditions. Considerable hay
and fodder have been saved. Corn and
gardens are showing the effects of the
drouth and will be cut short thereby.

Last year they got s1S.75 each. As the

Of Tippah county, captured two stills
last week, One of 75-gallons capacity
was taken twelve miles north of Ripley.
With it were found some 200 gallons Of
mash. fifty gallons Of ''singlings" and a
barrel of sorghum, all of which was de-
stroyed. The other was taken ten miles
northeast of Ripley. This was twenty
five-gallon still, and was just being put
down. no supplies being on hand. They
were well-made copper stills and had
seen considerable service. Much trou-
bic has been caused by their operation
in that section in the past few years.

AID FOR GOLD-SEEKERS,
Secretary of War Alger Believes
He Has Great Idea.
Logging Engines VIII BE Employed t,.
Get Supplies Over the Frozen Yukon
River to the Fortune Hunters.

WASHING TON, Sept. 19.-Secretary AL.
ger is now engaged in an attempt to
Solve the question of how to get sup
plies to the Klondike gold regions and
thereby prevent the threatened starva-
tion of many miners.
The great Yukon river, which has
formed the main reliance of the miners
as means of getting their supplies up
to Dawson. is without doubt already
closed to navigation by boats, and the
mountain passes via Chilkoot are almost
impossible. The problem, therefore, is
hard one and has taxed the best
thought, not only of Secretary Alger
but of his brother cabinet officers and
OF the president, for it has been anx-
iously discussed in the councils of the
administration.
Now, however, it is believed by the
secretary that by means of novel
character transportation for supplies
into the gold country may be provided
even in the midst of an Alaskan winter
He has opened correspondence indi-
rectly with Chicago inventor, who
makes locomotive designed originally
for use in logging camps, but which it
is hoped may be readily adapted to the
navigation of the Yukon when it is
frozen thickly. With few of these
machines placed on the river it is hoped
that sufficient supply of food and other
necessary stores may be carried up the
Yukon to relieve al distress among the
miners.
The engine is capable of pulling many
tons of logs on sleds at good speed,
even as high as twelve miles an hour.
The engine is boxed in like freight
car and the engineer and fireman are
thereby protected from the rigors of
the winter.

pose of supplying their road with the
