motion, lost his footing and fell partly
under the train. The wheels crushed
his left foot off at the ankle. The train
was stopped and the injured man was

JNlNEZ RELEASED
BY the Order of Governor General
BROOKE

Havana, August 1S.-It is asserted
that the arrest of Genera Juan Jimi-
nez, the aspirant to the presidency of
Santo Domingo, who was captured on
board a steamer al Cienfuegos yester-
day, just as the steamer was about
leaving port, was not caused by or
ders from Havana. Immediately upon
learning of the arrest Major General
Brooke, governor general of Cuba, gave
orders for the release of the prisoner.
The friends of General Jiminez claim
that his arrest was due to General
Maxine Gomez, who is supposed to
have informed the authorities about
his departure. 1t is said tina about
Jour months ago Gomez promised Jim
inez he would do all in his power TO
help the latter become president of
Santo Domingo, but the relations be-
tween h two men nav since cooled
because of the formers jealousy. IT
is asserted that General Wilson did not
give the order for the. arrest, but mere
ly notified Governor General Brooke
hat the arrest had been made. No
body seems to know exactly by what
authority Jiminez was taken into Gus
tody.

Messrs. T. w. Wood & Sons, the we'll
known and reliable seed growers and
merchants, Of Richmond, Va. have
kindly sent The Messenger their valu-
able fall catalogue.

descriptions and prices Of all Towering
bulbs for fall planting, with directions
for their culture, and a selected list of
seasonable vegetable and field seeds, in
Guiding grass, clover, seed grain and
forage plants, which have proven es-
pecitlly desirable for the south. We
notice that special attention is direct
ed to their list of grass and clover seed
mixtures for all soils and purposes,
which have given uch wide satisfaction
throughout the southern states.
Messrs. Wood & Sons are seed grow
ers of long established reputation and
the concern is one of the largest in this
country. To call attention to all the
features Of their catalogue would re-
quire a column, lbut as they will send
it free to subscribers of The Messenger

Meeting of White Men at Mount
Marian

Greenwood, s. c., August 1s.-SeveraI
hundred white men met at Mount Ma
riah church today TO hear a report from
the committee appointed to investigate
the recent outrages committed on ne
groes in the Mount Marian section and
elsewhere.
Hon. j. NJ CARES for the committee,
stated that no effort had been made
to excuse or Ghield any one, but that
diligent inquiry had failed to elicit suf-
nclenr information to recommend the
arrest or anyone. The first case was
that OF q negro, who, It was reported,
was organizing a plot against Phoenix,
and n who. it is thought, took part
in n ambushing last fall. The second
was found to be a personal matter be-
tween a white man and a negro. The
! third was one in which two women
! were concerned. The fourth was that
| OF three negro men and grew out Of a
| reported trespasS on a white mans crop,
| and so on down the list. There was
only one case for which they could not
find a cause and that was the unmerci-
ful beating of Jake Richardson.
Negroes appeared before the meeting
to give evidence, but many OF them
! were afraid to tell the names of the
white men h inflicted the punish
ment.
The meeting evidently thought the
committee had not been as thorough as
TT might a been in the investigation,
and several of the negroes who had
been whipped, and who were present.
were called for and questioned, first
having been pledged protection by the
white people by a unanimous vote, for
any Information they might give that
/ would lead to the arrest of at least
| some of the guilty parties.
The tales they told were narrowing
in the extreme, especially of old man
; Jake Richardson, as ne old how they
| dragged him from a sick bed, beat him,
then ravished his wife. No one who
looked in his face doubted the truth
Of his statement, but unfortunately he
would not divulse the names of anv
OF his assailants.
: Five other negroes gave evidence
against Joe Jones, Jesse Cauley, Will
liam Wilson n Robert McCas1an, all
white men, sufficient to warrant their
arrest, and the sheriff will execute pa
pers against them at once. ALL the evil
dence went to show that there were a
dozen or more Of the phftecappers and
still others may be arrested.
