Minter City, Miss, Dec. 90 Joseph
Hopkins, the negro who murdered two
white farmers on Christmas day at
Glendora, small inland town near
this place, was captured by posse at
daylight Tuesday morning on the
James plantation, near Swan lake.
Hopkins concealed himself in gin
house, but was discovered by two ne
groes, who gave the alarm. Hopkins
fought like demon before being taken
into custody, and when arrested it was
found the negro had been shot in three
places during the melee. He was not
fatally injured, however, and was at
once taken to the scene of his terrible
crime. Hopkins confessed his guilt
and did not plead for mercy. but begged
his captors to make quick work of him,
and little time was lost in carrying out
the request. A rope was placed about
the negroes neck and he was hanged to
the limb of tree. The body was then
riddled with bullets and left hanging.
Hopkins record is very bad one, many
recent crimes being attributed to him.

STRIKE COST MILLIONS.
Extraordinary Drain Due to flnKi-
neeer's Trouble I'm England.


New York, Dec. 31.-Some idea of Che
extraordinary drain upon the re-
sources of organized labor that has
been caused by the prolonged strike
and lockout of the engineers and allied
trades of England is afforded in pri-
vate letter received here Thursday from
one OF the leading officials of the Anal
gamated Society of Engineers and
member of the strike committee. When
hostilities were inaugurated the en-
gineers' society had in it's exchequer
gilt-edged securities representing
without premium or interest, an in
vestment of $1.800,000. This has now
shrunk to 100000, of which, however,
100000 belongs to the sick and funeral
benefit branch and cannot be touched
for strike purposes. There are 60.90e
members of the society who have not
been affected by the dispute, and these
have contributed one dollar each per
week. making a total of 100000 weekly,
or $1,500000 since the commencement
of the lockout. In addition, the sub
scriptions and donations from other
branches of organized labor in this and
European countries have averaged $780,
600 weekly, or 81 ,250.000 to date. 1t will
be thus seen that the strike and lockout
has involved an expenditure in strike
pay, which is but percentage of the
ordinary wage, of the enormous sum of
$4,000,OO0.
The dispute is now in its 25th week,
and although a number of the en-
gineers in different parts of the coun-
try have found temporary employ
ment in other lines. the weekly relief
expenditure of the central strike com
mittee reaches $15O,OOO and will con-
tinue at about that figure until the men
return to work. In this connection it
is stated that single ship-building
firm in Lancashire, whose men are on
strike. has been compelled to refuse
orders for eight large steamers, repre-
senting loss in wages alone of $780,
600.
