FROM the Mississippi river in Lou.
isiana, south along the Bayou La
fourche to the Southern Pacific there
is territory capable of affording
traffic amounting to 10, 900 carloads an
nually, and yet up to date it has never
enjoyed the convenience of railroad.
On both sides of the bayou there are
the richest of sugar plantations which
supply the raw material to at least as
sugar factories. Thousands of hands
are employed in this territory. The
only means of ingress or egress is fat
boats on the bayou, which is naviga-

A MODS VENGEANCE.
A Negro Lynchcd I'm Ohio-TwO Men
Killed by the Militia.

h1iIeu ny the
Urbana, o., June 8. - Charles Mitch
ell (colored) was taken from the Jail
here by mob, kicked and cuffed down
the stairs and out of doors to the near
est tree, and, more dead than alive,
was strung up over the heads of the en-
ragged people. For an hour his lifeless
body was left suspended, and then, by
order of the mayor, was cut down and
placed in wooden box.
Mitchell's crime was an assault com
mitted on Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, widow of
the late publisher of the Urbana Dem
ocrat. Mitchell had been sentenced to
serve 20 years in the penitentiary-the
extreme penalty prescribed by the Ohio
law-for his crime.
News of the intended attack on the
prisoner reached the officers of the
court in the afternoon, and they called
on the governor for militia z, protect
Mitchell. Troops were ordered out
and when the mob attacked the Jail
they fired, killing Harvey Bell and Up
ton Baker, fatally wounding Wesley
Brown and Zach Wank, and injuring
seven others.
The feeling is intense against the
sheriff for allowing the national
guards to fire on the people, and there
is a very general approval Of the work

FRACTIONAL FIGHT IN PATERSON
Republicans at odds Over tho Nsm'

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News.'J
PATERSON, Aug. %. 1Ss7.-The return
of Vice President Hobart Saturday was
not unexpected by the Republican poll
ticians. who have become alarmed at the
trouble in their party over the hght Tor
the nomination for Sheriff. The feeling
has become so bitter that some OF the
Republican leaders apprehend that Pas
sale county will elect a Democratic SEN
ator and a Democratic Sheriff next fall,
and perhaps capture one or two OF the
four Assembly seats.
Jacob j. Van Noordt. of Passaic, Di-
rector of the Board of ~Freeholders, has
announced himself a candidate for Sheriff
against Sheriff Hopson, who is also seek
ing the nomination. Van Noordt has
many strong supporters. De Witt {.
Bolton, who is county counsel and chair-
man of the Republican County Executive
COMMITTEES, has taken charge or van
Noordt's campaign. Efforts have been
made to induce Van Noordt to get out OF
the race, and it is understood the Cover
nor has been appealed TO, but ne could
do nothing. The demoralizedS politicians
are building on the hopes that Vice Presi-
dent Hobart will find a way to heal up
the fight. The Vice President Will likely
remain in Paterson until after election.
