Mob Puts the Negro Ed Henderson to
Death For Assault.
TIFToN, Ca, Sept. IA negro was
arrested at Ty Ty yesterday and posi-
lively identified as one Of the two ne

Mr. John Risdon, at his cotton gin, in
Triton, for three years, and had sister
living at " Iv He went to visit her
Sunday and returned Monday evening,
a few hours af;er the crime was COM
mittcd. Suspicion first pointed to him
on account OF the fact that he stald hid
out at Ty Ty Thursday evening until
his sister had bought ticket to Ilfton.
He was questioned and his answers
were so evasive as to arouse suspicion.
He was arrested and carried before Mrs.
Johnson, who at once positively identl-
FED him.
Several negroes had been carried be.

pronounced the wrong men, but as soon

Croft Homestead Wrecked by Volun-
tcrrs at Grcenville.
GREESvILLE, S. c., Sept. 14.-Cap-
tain J. n. X. Davis, acting inspector
general of the department of the gulf,
has been here for some days Investigate
ing claims for damages flied in the war
department by heirs Of Mrs. E ".
Croft.
The damages, it is alleged. were done
at the Croft homestead, an old mansion
near Greenville, by members of the
New jersey and Massachusetts regi.
ments, while in Camp Weatherill last
winter.
1t seems that an old negro with the
garrulous ways Of his race, told the SOL
diers q dazzling yarn, full OF interest
ing and substantiating details, of hidden
treasures They were assured that the
Croft family, which was rich, had hid.
den ON the premises during the civil war
a vast store Of gold and silver that had
never been found. The house was un-
occupied, but contained many articles Of
value, chiefly on account of their asso-
citation.
The soldiers made expeditions to the
old place, sounded every inch of ground
for acres around with rods, broke open
the house, bored into the walls in hun.
dreds of places, removed bricks from the
chimneys and did $1,000 damage and
several hundred dollars worth OF hard
work, if they had been proftably en-
ploycd, in trying to verify the negro's
fairy tale.
It is said the claim will be paid by the

Fight Between the Telegraph and
Railway Companies.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 1S.-Circuit
Judge Townsend has fled written
opinion in the case of the South Caro-.
lima aud Georgia. now the Southern
railway, against the American Tele.
phone and Telegraph company, which
involves the question of rights of way
along the line of the railroad.
Judge Townsend decides that the
temporary restraining order heretofore
issued against the telephone company
be continued until the hearing of the
case upon its merits at the approaching
term of the Orangeburg circuit court.
The telephone company had filed its
bill in equity to acquire the necessary
rights of way along the line of the old
South Carolina and Georgia line, The
plaintiff brought the proceedings under
q special act passed at the last session Of
the general assembly.
Under the code the defendant has 20
days TO answer the complaint. Before
this time had expired the railroad
brought a proceeding attacking the con.
stitutionality Of the act and prayed for
an injunction. Judge Townsend granted
a temporary restraining order and issued
a rule against the telephone company
to show cause why it should not be
made permanent.
The decision of Judge Townsend now
continues this injunction against the tel.
ephone company until the case is heard
on lis merits.
1t isuyery likely that the telephone
company will give notice OF appeal to
the supreme court and have the ques'
ton settled there as early as possible.
