JOE HALL SHOT BY A NEGRO.
Outcome of an Attempt to Chastise q
Colored Boy Who Had Insulted q
White Woman.

NEW FLORENCE, Mo-, July ia
few days ago Mrs. Minnie Smith, the
wife of George Smith and a bride of
but a few weeks, while returning from
town by a woods road, was insulted
by an IS year old negro named Nc
Pherson. No violence was attempted
further than to grab the horse by the
bit and attempt to pull the young
lady from the horse. The matter at
first did not excite the indignation of
the neighborhood to any great extent,
but meditation and discussion later
aroused the people and Friday night a
number of citizens determined to give
the negro a horsewhipping and make
him leave the community. To reach
this end the negro was sent for about
midnight to go for the doctor for a
neighbor.
The father of the negro at once sus-
pected something wrong and told the
son he would go. Taking up his shot
gun he started for the neighbours, and
on the way was accosted by the posse,
which demanded him to give up his
gun. Refusing, an effort was made to
take it from him, when he opened fire.
Joe Hall received the charge In his
head, killing him instantly. In the
scramble the negro was shot through
the kidneys, from the effects of which
he will die. Young Mcpherson es-
capped.
Halls body was taken to his home,
where the coroner's inquest was held
Saturday morning.
Much feeling is worked up in the
neighborhood and more serious results
may yet follow. Hall was buried Sun
day at Bethel church, near Readsville.

ed to the market value of the common
stock OF the American Sugar Conn
pany. The speculation In this stock
on the exchange began madIy IN the
morning and became ~hysterical as the
day advanced, There Ia no need to
explain the reason for this. The Sugar
Trust, to begin with, lie financially one
Of the finest properties in the world.
Dividends of IL per cent have been
regularly paid on the $37, 800, 600 OF
common stock, and the trust has
meanwhile been in clover, for in adj
ditior> to other things it has received
in the new tariff schedule q gift Of
s20, 000, 900 per annum, that being the
estimated amount which the trust will
be enabled to extort additionally from
the people under the so-called pro-
tective tariff. Moreover by anticipate
ing the tariff bill the trust has cleaned
up in round figures something like
SIC, 00O, 900.
Wall street has awaited with keen
anxiety the outcome of the confer
ence on the sugar schedule. The OPP
orators felt a little dubious on Satur-
day last, but on Sunday Senator Aid
rich tipped the street, and 1t was
known then that all was well.
"The Senate has not surrendered
everything" the Senator said. Sugar
stock closed on Saturday at 1889. To-
day it shot up to 144H, the highest
point in its history.
Wall street was not deceived by the
pretense that Speaker Reed and the
House had won a famous victory over
the Lfust. Wall street laughed in its
sleeves when Mr.. Dingley told the
country that the new sugar schedule
would yield &2sooo,o0o more revenue a
year.
Sugar changed hands at the rate of
$500, 900 a minute,

The purported interviews of prominent

official acts, as printed in the Journal,

the Nevada Mail says in regard to the
matter, viz: SIT is strange that a
metropolitan newspaper would resort
to such vile tactics in q silly attempt
to injure a public officer. The fact is
that Gov. Stephens is in full accord

BOX ELDERS VOLCANO.
MANY RESIDENTS ARE POSI-
TIVE THAT IT EXISTS.
Region in Which it is Said to Be
Located is Almost Inaccessible
at the Present Time on Account of
Snow, Mud and Marshes.

Brigham City, Utah, March 6.-And
still the volcano is the general theme of
conversation. The Herald's article
Monday morning created a great SEN
sation here, as only a few people had
heard of the new conner Not having
seen it or any signs of it, some of the
citizens still doubt its existence. Others
are just as sanguine os its presence.
Martin Rohwer says he has nc doubt
Whatever in his mind that a volcano
is actively at work down on the flats
or in the lake, some u or 10 miles
southwest of Corinne. He has watched
1t for some weeks. This would locate
it in the vicinity of the mouth of Bear
river, where the recent earthquak es
have been stronger than at any other
place.
When people come to ponder over
the fact that this locality has been re-
peatedly shaken up during the past
half year by numerous earthquakes
and that the earthquakes are caused
by subterranean disturbances, consist
ing of fire, smoke and lava, it is not
wonderful or even unusual to have
these internal fires break out on the
surface. Another proof of the existence
of vast subterranean heat in this
neighborhood is the presence of nu-
merous hot springs around here. There
are large hot springs 10 miles south of
Brigham; big hot springs u miles
north of here, and others about that
distance west, over beyond Corinne.
All Of these are continuously pouring
out great streams of water, so hot that
a person can not hold his hand in it.
OF course these perpetual streams of
boiling water come from a pretty hot
country. and it may not be far from
the surface. The shocks we have felt
no doubt come from the disturbed
heated regions. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that this internal agitation
might finally burst through the sur
face and thus find an outlet for its
pent up energies.
Many people are anxious for the
snow. water and mud in the volcano
region TO dry up sufficiently so they
may be able to travel on horseback to
the scene of the new northern wonder. !
So far it is not positive that the
can be seen from Brigham, al |
though many people claim they could |
see it. Still. for days light clouds or
smoke has been hanging almost con- |
tinually along the western mountains. /
Just over the lake. It may be several :
weeks before any positive news can be |
received concerning this matter.
