LYNCHED AT LEESBURG.
REDDlNG AND HIS ACCOMPLICES
TAKEN TO THE WOODS.
Armed Mob Went to the Jail and
Broke In. Men They Wanted
Had Outraged Mrs. NarOney.

LEEsBUCG, GA, g, b. II, A mob Ct
masked men entered the county jail
here at midnight to might, took out
three negroes and lynched them.
Sheriff Martin advised Gov. Gambler
at l o'clock Sunday morning that he
was compelled to give them up to pre-
vent a wholesale butchery.
The mob was we'll organized, and APP
peared at the jail at midnight. The
sheriff declined to give up the keys,
and the mob quickly battered down the
doors.
Seeing they were in earnest, the
sheriff hailed the mob and asked them
who they wanted. They replied:
Cupid Redding, and we want shim
quick"
The sheriff told them he could not
give up the man, and implored the mob
to retire. Before he had finished the
sentence, however, the enraged men
had battered down another door and
stood.in the enclosure with thirteen
negroes.
"N0W then" SAID the leader, "give
us Redding, or Wen take then ALL"
The sheriff, seeing his efforts at
peace were unayailjng, pointed out the
man.
Took Them to The Woods.
From Redding the mob ascertained
who his two "helpers" were, and soon
had them bound, and from the ,tremb-
ling and cowed lot of prisoners drag
geo the unfortunates forth into the
hight.
In few moments they were on
their way to the woods, and nothing
more was seen of the mob.
The three black men were concern
ed in the outrage npOn Mrs. Marc
ney, which was one of the most afro
cious crimes of the century.
John Maroney is school teacher
near Leesburg. Late in December last
his house was entered by Cupid
Redding ard two companions. The
leader Of the black trio ordered Mrs.
MarOney to tie her husbands, hands
behind his back, after which they
bound him to bed
The negroes then ransacked the
house, and having completed this part
of their work Redding outraged Mrs.
Maroney in sight of her helpless and
Infatuated husband.
| The negroes escaped, and although
the state had offered a heavy reward
Redding was not captured until this
afternoon. His two accOmpllces, how
ever, whose names are unknown, were
arrested ten days ago.
Gov. Gambler tonight ordered a com
pany of state militia, forty-five men
from Albany to Leesburg on specia
train, to prevent, if possible, the
lynching, but it occurred before the
company could reach here.

of the railway cannot operate more than
five pairs of trains a day, and that is why
the minister of ways of communication
found this mass of goods waiting its turn

Ten thousand workmen and convicts are
working at the Chinese section of the line,

Radical Changes Necessary.

1.-THE above resume indicates that radical
changes must be made immediately.
First, means must be organized to meet
the mass of passenger and freight traffic.
The great railway never expected such sue
cess and has been built economically-steep
quantity of rolling stock of bad quality
and still more limited number of EN-
pioyes. In a word, all was prepared for a
sleeping country, to which gold alone could
entice. What must be done now? 1t viii
be to change the light rails for heavier
| ones, to renew the roadbed. to lenghten
and to increase the number of sleepers.

| tervals on the line in order to Increase
I, the number of trains. and to change the

| been found absolutely necessary to build

Information received from Fort
George Island states that ST Foreman,

the effects of the poison. From what
could be learned Foreman, who had
been on the island several days catch
ling snakes for his winter show, was
Ireturning to his hut with a vicious rat
tier in bag. In passing under a tree
limb hung the bag, and in some way
the snake got it's head out and fasten-
ed it's fangs in his left shoulder, just
behind the heart. Foreman has been
Fhandling snakes for years, and has
been bitten a number of times. He
manufactured a medicine that he
takes, and which he claims kills
the poison when bitten. Whether
or not he had any of this along when
bitten is not acknowledgement
