Bishopville, Aug. 22.-The de-

morning about 4 o'clock. There
is no doubt about its being the
work of an incendiary, as the safe

about 20 feet from the safe. The

A tramp who slept in boxcar

The loss by this fire is heavy,

The march to the scafoId began
at 1908. Prayer was offered in
the cell for the condemned man
by Revs. Reeder add Williams.
Upon arriving at the scaffold
the moose was adjusted about the
negro's neck and the death war
rant was then read by Sheriff
BufOrd.
After prayer by his pas tors
Rev. A. Mcneil, he was asked by
the Sheriff if there was anything
lie would like to say before being
executed. He then spoke a few
words asking the mercy Of God
upon his soul and said he was
ready and willing to go. He
asked that all would meet him in
the hereafter and prayed that the
Lord would have mercy upon all.
He never once touched upon his
crime on the scaffold.
While the rope was being
tightened he asked the sheriff to
fix it so he might die easy and not
let him suffer. He was attlred in
II neat SUIT of black with q black
bow and plain black shoes.
After saying goodbye to all, the
drop fell at 1915, and he was
pronounced dead at 1890 by DR..
2. G. Ellison the county physi
clan, and Dr.. Van Smith.
The body was cut down at
1888. His neck was broken by
the fall of about four feet. He
was hanged in private, in the Jail

ranged as to throw the body
through the third story floor down
near the floor Of the second story.

A SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
The Leading Citizen Of a Geor-
gia Town Killed.

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 23.-A
special to the Morning News from
Tennilie, Ga, says:
A terrible tragedy occurl ed at
Lovett this evening at 4 o'clock
wherein negro man enraged
from blind tiger whiskev killed
one of the towns leading mcr-
chants and a popular citizen, dan
gerously wounded a negro woman
and he himself was shot to death
by posse Of outraged citizens.
The quiet little town was thrown
into a state of excitement never
before witnessed since it became
village by an infuriated negro
man named Andrew Green. 1t
seems that Andrew and his wife
have not been living together as
man and wife should be, he hav-
ing forbid her visiting the town
again. His wife on Sunday even
ing disobeying his commands came
to the village from their home at
Garbutt's mills some three miles
from Lovett. Andrew discover
ing he- absence, pursued her in
his road cart, driving a mule.
On arriving at the station he
found her seated on some cross
ties near the depot in conversa-
ton with another woman and a
negro man. Without n word of
warning he opened fire with A
Colts pistol shooting wide of his
aim. He fired three times, two
of the shots taking effect in the
thigh and side Of the muiTcuding
woman who happened to he in
conversation with his wife. After
seeing what he had done and
thinking he had killed his wife,
he whipped up his mule and at
tempted to escape.
Mr.. George Heath, q promi-
nent white citizen, seeing what
the negro had done attempted to
stop him inst as he was crossing
the railroad track. Green beng
desperate and determined not to
be arrested turned his pistol which
he still held in his hand, and fired
on Mr.. Heath, who was IN q few
steps of the fleeing negro. The
ball entered Heath's forehead lust
between the eyes killing him al
most instantly. The negro fle5
: in the direction of Garbutt's mills.
In a short time after the people
of the town learned of the tragedy
1 a posse of some fifty well mounted
men armed to kill, went in hot
, pursuit of the maraudcr who by
this time gained sufficient time to
= reach Garbutt's mills. John
Y George, the husband of the in
70 nocent negro woman who had
been wounded, had by this time
G heard Of the affair. He too Joined
s the posse and Green was captured
II in short order and brought up to
the mills and after few minutes
consultation the death of Heath
was avenged and the body of An,
drew Green, the murderer, was
perforated with Winchester anC
; pistol balls. The citizens ther

The shells were bursting around

him and shouted: "Where are

replied: "What do you mean,
sirt'' To which the captain said:
"Don't you see the river down
yonder;" and the colonel lost no
time in marching back.
At this time the attention of
the Seventh was directed to bat
terry of the enemy. There was q
puff of smoke and Private w. IL.
Jones of Company A was killed,
and the Seventeenth lost no time
in moving to the right to inter
pose the hill between. The
Eighteenth and the Twenty second
were slower in moving and lost,

men.
Boyce's battery, which was at
tached to the brigade, had one
man desperately wounded and lost
fifteen horses. So we all were
ordered back, and we double

JURY HAD NO DOUBT.
Lorenzo Barnes Found Guilty of
Murder in First Degree.

LOWELL, Mass, May 11-Lorenzo Barnes
has been adjudged guilty in the first degree
of the murder of John Deane of Maynard,
Dec. l3. 1896. The murder OF John Deane
was committed at his home at Maynard. late
in the afternoon of Dee. l3, and the body
was discovered lying on the kitchen floor,
between 8 and $50, by his daughter, who
had been away. The skull had been nearly
cleft by an axe, which lay near the body on
the floor, and 500 or more in bills that Mr..
Deane usually carried was missing.
Lorenzo Barnes. aged about 32 years. and
n tough character in the town, was soon
suspected. and a little inquiry revealed the
fact that he was spending money freely and
was seen to have 500 in bills. Blood spots
were found on his clothes. and he was seen
to throw pair of blood-stained rubber
boots into the river. These and other in
eliminating circumstances were brought out
at the trial by the district attorney, MI. Fred
n. Weir. who had a complete chain of evil
dence against the prisoner. The defence
endeavored to show that the murder was
committed by two ttamps and that Barnes
was led to the house by the cries of Farmer
Deane Hereditary insanity was also Of
fered as plea.
The iurymen were unanimous in their
verdict without discussion. They were out
but two hours and only long enough TO
proceed formally and not to excite com
ment by undue haste.

John Singleton Mosby was one of the most
conspicuous fighters in the Confederate
army. AS dashing raider he was unap-
proachable even among the boldest of the
raiders of the Southern semi-guerrllas.
He was born in Powhatan county, Va,
December 6. 1888. At the beginning of
the war he enlisted in the cavalry and served
in the campaign in the Shenandoah, under
General Joseph f. Johnston.
At the close of the war MOsby went to
Warrenton, Va, and took up the practice of
law. He was there in 1872, when the
Greeley-Grant campaign came, and the in
corrigible rebel guerrilla amazed his friends
and compatriots of the South by hosting his
standard for Grant instead of the Democrat.
He supported Hayes in 1876 and was le-
warded with the consulship at Hong Kong.
He was proud man and excessively sensi-
tive in those trying times and twice refused
to accept office under President Grant.
On his return from China be settled in
California and has done well there as a law
yer. As soldier he was a terrible disciplin-
arian and as a lawyer shrewd reader OF
statutes, though not a brilliant pleader.

For the first time in twenty eight
years the State of Ohio is without
Democratic representation in the
United States Senate. The long period
of divided representation began in
1869, with the election of Allen G.
Thurman as the colleague of John
Sherman. Once only has the rule of
divided representation been broken,
and that was in the Forty-sixth Con-
gress, when George H. Pendleton was
the colleague of Senator Thurman.
