 Circumstances

Chicago, August 1.-Martin Deitz, said to have married six women, all but two of whom are said to be now living, was arrested here yesterday.
 The police allege that Deitz, in Wheel ing, W. Va, under the name of Henry Deesing, married a woman who later died under suspicious circumstances. His watch and clothing were found on the banks Of the Ohio river, but the impression of sut- eide thus given was dispelled by his arrest several years later for disposng of mort gagged goods.
 Before reaching Chicago Deitz married in Milwaukee Maximiliania Speil Chi cago woman; Elizabeth Schmidt and Car clina Schneider, both of Milwaukee. In this city he took to wife a woman worth sl2,OO0 She died suddenly. willing her property to Dietz, then known as Fred Hohe.

 Riot.
TWENTY-FIVE IMPLICATED
And Warrants Have Been Issued for Fifteen More-Jury Comes to Com clusion That Shooting Was
 Result of a Plot.

The coroners jury which has been in a verdict yesterday.
 The verdict is as follows:
 State of Alabama, Jefferson County We, the coroner's jury, duly empannelled on, to-wit, the 10th day of July, 1899, to inquire into the cause of the death of Richard Cobb and Charley Davis, find that said Richard Cobb and Charley Davis came to their death by being unlawfully and with malice aforethought shot with pistol or rifle or shot gun on to-wit, the 18th day of July 1899. And we find from the evidence ad- duced on the examination of the cause of the death of said deceased that a meeting was held in a place in the woods about one half miles from Oak Grove church on the 18th day of July, 1899, at which said meet ing a conspiracy was then and there form ed to do unlawful act, to-wit, to devise means and ways and execute the same, to do away with the men who were at said time and still in the employ of the Robin son Mining company.
 We further find that the following named persons were present at said meeting and participated therein for such unlawful pur- pose:
 (The names are withheld until arrests can be made)
 We further find from the evidence that we have probable cause for believing and do believe that the death of said Richard Cobb and Charley Davis was the direct re- suit of said conspiracy so formed for said unlawful purpose.

An Extensive Inquest

This is perhaps the most extensive in- quest which has ever been held in Jeffer- son county.
 One hundred and thirty-fve witnesses were examined and many more were sum moned who never appeared before the court Attachments will be served on these defaulting witnesses and they will be brought before the circuit court to answer for this disregard of the subpoenas. Ten arrests have already been made, and war rants for fifteen others are in the hands of the sheriff. The negroes In jail are: Tom James, Bill Pegram, Rufe Vieers, Toney Walker. Clem Charson, Zack Ealy, Nose Fluker, Frank Ford, John Johnson and Joe Bates.
 It will be remembered that on the night of July 15 a party of negroes, while enjoy ing a watermelon feast in small house near Ishkooda were fired upon by persons concealed in the bushes which surrounded the place. One man was killed instantly and several were wounded One of the wounded men was brought to St. Vincents hospital and died the next day.
 The killing was the result of the miners employed by the Robinson Mining com pany. New men were imported and bitter feeling was ingendered between the two classes of ore workers.
 The killing was done in such a coldblood ed manner great excitement prevailed, and the imported miners fled in flocks. A special train loaded with deputy sheriffs was dis patched to Ishkooda, and the woods were secured, but no trace of the assassins could be found. On Sunday morning following Coroner Dallas arrived and immediately empaneled a jury to investigate into the cause of the killing. For sometime no clue could be found. One of the witnesses final ly testified that meeting of the strikers had been held in the woods Saturday after noon prior to the murder. Scores of wit nesses were then summoned and 1t develop ed that this meeting was held for the pur- pose of devising a scheme to get rid of the new corners. Attorney Hugh Morrow ably conducted the examination and the name of every man present was ascertain- ed.
 The Affair Was Planned
 The testimony showed that at the meet ing a committee of volunteers retired from the main body and formulated a plan by which the work was to be done. Warrants were issued for every member of this com- mittee, but when the deputies went to serve the papers many of the men had left the country. few were caught however, and their testimony was decidedly conflict ing. One of them swore that he did not participate in the deliberations because there were too many Judases in the crowd. From the conflicting testimony 1t developed that there were more followers of Ananias present than of the historical Judas.
 Several of the negroes swore that they knew nothing of meeting being held, when 1t was clearly proved they were pres- ent and made speeches.
 After several days sitting the coroner's court adjourned for week until more wit nesses could be found and reconvened yes- terday. Late in the afternoon the verdict as given above was reached.

A Small Shortage

Assistant Examiner Foster has filed with papers and accounts of R. J. McCreary, former tax collector of Conecuh county, Ala, from the beginning to the end of his term of office, 1892 to 1896. The examiner says:
 Tn 1892 I find an additional assessment larly entered upon the books, but in some way the judge of probate failed to include it in his abstract to the auditor. On this account, and on an account of errors in the addition of the poll assessment of this year MT. McCreary is due the state the sum of $69.16.
 Tn 1893 I find that MT. McCreary was not properly charged with the state taxes as reported to the auditor by the judge of probate. I find further that MT. McCreary did not properly report his own assess ments for this year. On account of these errors he is due the state the sum of $91. .9i and the county the sum of $l173 on the taxes of 1893.
 All of the above items are fully set out in exhibit IA hereto attached, and made a part of this report.
 "Mr. McCreary states under oath that he settled with both the state and county, pay ing all that was charged to him, and did not know of these errors until pointed out in this investigation. He further states the amount found to be due will be made good"

PROFESSIONS FOR WOMEN
Higher Remuneration in Music, Paint
 ing and Elocution

Literary teachers, while as deserving no doubt, do not receive as high salaries as those in the ornamental branches. With the same preparation and skill, teachers of music, painting and elocution receive twice as much remuneration. The South ern Female College at College Park Ga., near Atlanta, has been called upon this summer to recommend music teachers for a number of positions, some paying as much as s100 per month. For the most re- sponsible and lucrative work only gradu- ates in the school of music are commended. To finish the course in music in this insti- luton requires some years and unusual ad- vancement, but the graduates are then qualified for professional work.

- . = NEGRO LYNCHEO I IN BUTLER COUNTY Assaulted the Daughter of a
 Farmer. STRUNG UP BY FLOW LINE Examiner Makes His Report on the Books and Accounts of Former
 Tax Collector McCreary of
 Conecuh County.
STRUNG UP BY FLOW LINE

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont- gomery. August 1.-tspecial.) )-News was received here this morning of a lynching reported to have occurred in Butter coun- ty Sunday night. It was a case of a negro brute assaulting a young white girl, and an infuriated moo wrecked vengeance by the use of blow line, pistols and shot guns.
 Details of the story are meagre. Late Saturday evening near Forest, a small sta- ton the Louisville and Nashville rail- road in Butler county, Solomon Jones, a burly negro, made improper proposals to the pretty young daughter of Farmer Wat ford, and meeting with stout rebuff the brute assaulted her. Miss Watford's screams attracted the members of her family, who were soon upon the scene, preventing the negro from accomplishing his hellish purpose. Mrs. Watford, her daughter and son pursued Jones, and, over taking him, they beat him almost into d jelly with clubs, and the wonder is that he was not killed on the spot.
 Jones was tied and guarded until Sun day morning, when a party of seven men took him in charge and started for the Greenville jail. The news of the assault spread rapidly throughout the neis'hbor- hood, and indignation was al such a pitch that mob, with the motto, "1he protec- ton of our homes, wives and daughters, was soon organized and started in pur- suit of the party with the criminal. They were soon overtaken, and Jones was taken away from the deputies. short cotton rope, used as blow line, tied around his neck, and the negro was soon swinging to a limb. His body was instantly riddled with bullets and buckshot
 It was a noiseless, determined band that did the work, and news of the proceedings have been kept very quiet.

& CUBA AND CUBASS.,

General Leonard Wood Gives an
Intelligent View OF the Situation.
NEW YORK. Jan. ls.-Generai Leon
ard Wood, military governor OF San
tlago. was the guest Of honor at a din
ner given by the Union league club last
night. Among those present were Gen
eral Stewart L. Woodford. Captain Rob-
ley D. Evans, General Wallace S. Ran
dolph, General N. C. Butler, General
Benjamin F. Tracy and John Addison
Porter.
Geiltiai Wood received very hearty
gree:IES when he was introduced. In
speaking OF Cuba and the Cubans he
said:
Whatever has been done in Cuba has
been no; only for the Cubans, but for
the United States. We have gone down
70 that island for the purpose OF giving
those people liberty, and It Is my ex-
perience that they have demonstrated
thus far, nj any rate, that they are
quite capable OF apprec!ating what I'VE
can do. and the!. response 10 such iio-
erty as has been presented to chem has
been very quick. or course, we have
got to remember that down there we
are dealing with people who for 4 good
many generations have had very little
voice In public affairs. and their who'll
disposition has been reversed oy 4 sys-
TEN which has compelled deceit ard dis.
honesty and subte.fuge In every depart
ment' OF life. when we vert there liz
July we found things In pretty bad
shape, and the ,unfortrnat e cnlisunder
standings between our people and the
Cubans left the army, or our army and
the Cuban army. somewhat at odds.
There certainly was good deal OF
feeling on both sides and the problem
when the old army. withdrew and the
new one came was 4 little difficult, as
there was n good deal OF sickness and
good deal OF d!stresS-ln fact, more
than I have ever dreamed possible In
any 'country-and there was good deul
said OF the distress on both sIdes, but
We started In by having no secrets OF
any kind. shape or description. Every
thing that was done down there was an
open book.
,'::1 have tried TO draw the army out
Of the situation at the earliest possible
day, and tried to Impress upon the peo-
pie that the FIRST thing they had to do
down there was to learn to govern
themselves. and that the underlying
principles of self-government was
through respect for civil law, and that
we did no. want any lawlessneSs. We
had the army there only as n balance
OF power to overcome any lawlessness.
IAN the public places were filed by
representative Cubans without excep-
ton. ] found It OF advantage to have
the committee. the nomination commit
tee called It, cha raed too often. sud
denly, so that they might not be sub
ject to corrupt Influence.
There has been a good deal which
from our standpoint was not satis!ac-
tory. and which, I think. could be OF
tributed to the fact that those people
have already got In the way OF trusting
themselves. bUt the pertecly open pol
Icy that we have pursued has disarmed
them 10 q certain extent. and to-day. as
far as I know, the respect for the Amer
lean people and American good faith Is
all right"
