ARMS FOR THE LIGHT INFANTRY.

Last night Capt. King, of the Alex
aDdria Light Infantry, telegrsphed to
Governor Tyler to know if his com.
maud was subject TO the orders of May
or Simpson, as trouble seemed to be
breeding, there being likelihood that
IN attempt would be made to lynch
Thomas. The Governor was not in bis
office, but his private secretary, Gov
ernor Tyler'a son, responded that the
Mayor had the power to call out the
company, and that the authorities would
be Communicated with this morning.
Today Mayor Simpson, in response to
telegram sent by him to the AGjuiant
General, was informed that sixty rifles
and quantity OF ammunition had been
placed on train for this city. The
arms reached here at 3 o'clock this
evening and were at once sent to the
armory where they were taken in
charge by Captain King. Mayor Simp-
son bas 10 the meantime ordered the
Light Ilfantry to hold themselves IL
readiness for sny emergency.
Captain King mas ordered his com
pany to assemble at the armory tonight.
The men will remain inside and not
make their appearance on the streets.
unless called on. Neither Mayor Smp-
son nor the officers of the company wish
to create any excitement.

Wilkinson cut the rope, but it was soor
tied together. When Thomas reached
the spot his face and head were much
lacerated by being pulled over the cob
bic stones and blood was flowing frou
mis- wounds. A moose was quickly
made in the rope and he was pulled
from his back to his feet and was soon
dangling in the air from lamp post 9
target for number of pistols which
were emptied into the body.
The crowd after this began to grow
thinner, and after Thomas had hung
for about fifteen minutes he was cut
down by policeman. It is said at this
| time life was not entirely extinct, al
though, of course, it was ebbing fast
The body was later taken to Mr.. De-
msioe's undertaking establishment.
The streets gradually resumed their
normal quiet. 1t was IA noticeable fact
that during all the excitement inci-
dent to the lynching but few colored
people could be seen on the streets, al
though on the previous night they had
swarmed about and 10 some instances
had become menacing. In, fact it is
believed by many that had they re-
NAMED in doors Monday night and re
Trained from threats and defiance there
part OF the whites But the fact that
some blacks on that occasion had en-
deavored to bring on race troubles and
had been arrested with raZors and pis-
tolls in their pockets, exasperated the
multitude to such a degree that the
event of last night was but the natural
consequence
The lyDching has, of course, been the
main theme of conversation to-day, and
there is still wave of excitement on,
which the more conservative are labor
ing to allay. The authorities have
taken decided steps to prevent any
further breach Of the peace.
INQUEST.
An quest was held by DR. Purvis,
the city coroner, this morning at Mr..
Demaine's undertaking establishment
upon the body Of Thomas. The jury
was composed of Messrs. M P. Vincent,
foreman, and p. G. Cliff, S. G. Swain,
T. F Kelly, H. D. Ashton, and Edg r
War6eId, jr.
DR.. jones, who had previously per
formed an autopsy, WAS the first wit
ness. He testified that Thomas bad
been shot twice-opce in the rieh,
chest, the ball passing through lungs
and heart and the other ball entering
his abdomen and penetrating his small
Aintestines. The neck had not been
broken, but the body was much bruised
and covered with blood and nearly
stripped Of clothing
Capt. Webster, officer Hall. Jailor
Hayes, Deputy Sergeant B. B. Smith
and Mr.. Wilbert Baggett also testified.
They all told of the attack on the Jail,
the resistance offered and how it was
overcome, &c, but the evidence elected
really nothing new. The jury then re-
turned the following verdict
We, the jury, fud that Benjamin
Thomas came to his death at the hauds
Of mob unknown to the jury. Imme-
diate cause of death being gunshot
wound in heart.
Thomas's BODY will be buried tomor.
