The Knoxville Sentinel of Tuesday

mise of Major Hemphill. formerly chief
qualtermaster on Gen. Bates staff, who
died in that city on Monday night:
Major David Hemphill died last night
at 80 clock at the division hospital,
His serious illness was of short duration
But little over a week ago he was ia
miliar figure upon the streets and cir
culating among the many friends made
since he came to Knoxville. His plans
were that at the hour his lifewent out,
to be speeding homeward for the holl-
days. His home-going has been delay
ed and when his body reaches his place
of birth in South Carolina it will be
but to be consigned the grave. His
death resulted from complication OF
diseases. All that could be done by
the army surgeons and physicians of
this city to save his life was resorted
m without avail.

NEGROES, ISSUE ANADDREss.
Lot of Talk About the Suffrage, Lynch
Law and Education.

A Negro council was held in Wash
ton several days last week, and just be-
fore adjournment Friday night adopted
a long address to the American people.
The address congratulates the council
that the Negro race everywhere has
grown stronger and stronger in all eie-
ments of Christian morality, Of thrift
and intelligence. Considerable atten-
ton is devoted to the political condl-
tions Of the Negroes in the South and
the address says that since 1868 there
has been steady and persistent deter
mination to eliminate them in politics
of those States. ''We are not opposed,
the address adds, ''to legitimaterestric-
ton of the suffrage, but we insist that
restrictions shall apply alike to all citl
zens of all States. We are willing to
accept an educational or property quail
cation, or both. We insist that neither
of these was intended or is conserved by
the new constitutions of Mississippi.
South Carolina or Louisiana.
The address calls on congress to re-
duce the representation Of those States
in that body. The address says the ln-
crease Of mob and lyoch law has be-
come source of reproach at home and
abroad and regrets that the president
saw fit to treat with silence this vital
matter in his recent message to con-
gress. 1t speaks of the separate car
law as unjust and oppressive. In the
interest Of humanity it requests that
the penal institutions Of the South be
reformed. The suggestion is made that
a part of the public domain Of the South
be devoted to the maintenance OF
schools Of higher learning and indus
trial training, and for more effective
maintenance of the public school sys-
tenn of those States for each race, share
and share alike. The opinion is ex-
pressed that more general distrlbu-
ton of the Negroes throughout the
States of the Union and new territories
Of the republic, in order to reduce the
congested population of the Southern
States would do much to simplify the
race problem.

Could Not Happen Here.

Charles ". Swan and Mrs. Isabella
Brown we're married in Manchester,
Va, Tuesday night under most unusual
conditions. 1t was the second time the
same couple embarked on the matri-
monial sea as husband and wife, and
followed two suits for divorce, convic-
ton of bigamy and a pardon, and to
further complicate the situation there
is another woman in Manchester who
bears Swans name, and is the mother
of his family of grown children. Swan,
eight years ago, after his wife had been
denied divorce, applied for one him
self and was granted legal separation,
which might, after FIVE years, be per-
fecfed into permanent divorce. At
the end of FIVE years, and without bring
ing further proceedings, Swan followed
Mrs. Brown to North Carolina, married
her and brought her to live noar his old
home. After many months his first
wife prosecuted him and he was finally
convicted of bigamy and given three
years. The governor pardoned him the
next day and the wedding was the Sc

A Drunken Brute.

Mrs. Winnie Hcarney, aged . years
was found badly burned Wednesday
at her home in the tenement building
at lO2 Detroit street, Cleveland, Ohio.
Her bed was partly burned. She now
lies in St. Johns hospital at the point
of death. The cause of the fire was
given by the woman and her husband,
Joseph Hearney, a laborer, as the ex-
plosion Of lamp. At an early hour
this morning, however, the police OBJ.
tanned from the 9-year-old daughter Of
the couple the statement that Hearney
came home intoxicated and because his
wife would not get out Of bed and cook
him a meal, soaked some rags IN coal

her bed. The police placed Hearney
under arrest.

FOUR MURDERS IN a DAY.
Women and Wine Cause Three of the
Four Murders.

Henry Perry, a well known citizen of
Atlanta, was shot and almost instantly
killed Wednesday in ashouse on Madison
street, by John A. Milan. The men
had desperate fight for revolver.
which Milan finally secured Florence
Livin -ston, who lived in the place, en-
deavored to separate the men. but fail
ed. She afterward told the authorities
that she did the killing. and presented
pistol as the weapon used, but all the
chambers were filled. A passer by
caught Perry as he fell and heard him
say he had been killed by Milan.
Mike Day, II years old, cripple,
shot and instantly killed Frank FIeury
at noon. Day says he discharged the
weapon without looking. Harry Fleu-
ry, brother Of the dead hoy, says Day
pointed the pistol directly at the child.
He declares that Day and his brother
had quarreled several days ago, but Day
says he was friendly with little Fleury.
4 year ago Day shot Jack Jones, a boy
his own age, but the wound was not ia
tai.
Levi Patterson shot and killed Tom
Foster, who was intoxicated and trying
to pick quarrel.
Special Officer A. J. Cavender Of the
Fulton bag and cotton mills, was shot
and perhaps fatally wounded by Jesse
Owen, an employe Of the cotton mills.
Ovens relatives were celebrating
Christmas rather hilarously and Caven-
der went to arrest Owen, who fired on
him.
tt police. in the past 4S hours, have
arrested nearly 200 persons on different
charges, which is believed to break the
record here.
The saloons were closed as usual at
10 o'clock Saturday night, and were not
opened today by special order Of
Mayor Collier. Nearly every person
taken in by the police had bottle on
his person, and as result the large
vault at Central station is well filled
with varied assortment of bottles and
liuuors.

An important Decision.

The Charleston correspondent Of the
State says Judge Benet Wednesday an
nouuced his decision on the motions for
new trial basel on the claim that one
or more jurors were not qualified elec-
tors in the intent and meaning of the
constitution. On the constitutional
question his honor decided that a
qualified elector:" and a qualified ju.
ror, must be a registered voter"
This was favorable to the movers. But
his honor decided, secondly, that all
parties had due notice and with proper
diligence could have ascertained before
trial whether jurors were qualified.
The objection should have been raised
before trial. And, thirdly, his honor
decided that there was not sufhciency
of evidence in the certificate Of the
clerk of the court that the jurors name
did not appear on the registration rolls
fled with him to prove that the juror
was not registered vot,r. The mo-
tion for new trial was refused.

NEW PRODUCT OF CORN.
Ground Stalks Make a Superior Forage
for Stock.

The Baltimore Sun says the new corn
products, upon which investigations
have been conducted at the Maj yland
Agricultural Experiment station to de-
termine its value as a stock food. has
been given much consideration by the
farming community of the State; in
fact, many States have taken up the
subject and arc conducting experiments
to ascertain its relative feeding value
In the process Of the extraction of the
pith, the blades and husk are first re-
moved and the stalks are cut up in
small pieces. After the extraction of
the pith from the stalk the balance is
ground up into meal, which in general
appearance resembles coarse bran. This
ground material is termed the new
corn product" The new corr product
contains eleven pounds per hundred
more digestible matter and two pounds
per hundred more digestible protein
than the whole fodder shredded Dur
ing the past few years much has been
done in the way Of testing methods for
preparing corn fodder for feeding, with
most of the results in favor of some
method OF shredding the stalk. Shred
ding possesses many points which makes
it superior to the ordinary or old way
Of cutting fodder, the principal one Of
which is that the shredded fodder is al
most wholly eaten by animals. 1t is
found that the corn product contains
within one pound as much total digesti-
Bile matter as wheat bran, but less than
one third as much digestible protein;
consequently the nutritive ratio is
wider. 1t was further observed that
animals fed with fattening ration with
the new corn product base made more
gain in live weight and upon less feed
than with a fattening ration of the
same grain and corn blades. The keep
ing qualities of the new corn product
are as good as linseed meal, cotton seed
meal or wheat bran, and rations made
up with this material can be fed with
less labor aud less waste of feed than
when hay and fodder are fed separately,
as ordinarily practiced. The naval de-
partment of the United States govern
ment has conducted extensive expert
ments with corn pith for Use in vessels,
and the results have been so satisfac-
tory that it has been adopted and speci-
fed for use in the construction of all
new vessels. It's ability to absorb great
quantities of water quickly and thus
swell very rapidly so as to close hole
core water can enter vessel is the
chief advantage in its favor.

They Speak out.

The following resolution, offered by
Comrade Beasley, formerly Of North
Carolina, was unanimously passed at a
meeting of the Confederate Veteran
Camp Of New Io <:
Resolved, That the Confederate Vet
Gran Camy of New York condemns in
unmeasured terms the efforts of Sena-
tor Butler of North Carolina (who is
not Confederate veteran) to debauch
the manhood of the South by seeking to
obtain pensions for ex-Confederate sol
diers from the United States, and that
any similar effort by any Southern
member Of Congress will be abhorrent
to the camp and meet with unqualified
condemnation.

An EXperts Opinion.

Nr. Alfred B. Shepperson, the cot
ton expert, says in his December edi-
ton Of Cotton Facts Despite the
opinions Of few Southern bank cash
iers, class whose occupation usually
keeps them in their Offices at routine
work all day, | am certain that the con-
census Of opinion among cotton factors
and planters-the people who ARE best
informed on the matter-would be that
4 cents per pound for middling cotton
in interior Southern markets would be
more than cent and half per pound
below the average cost Of production.

Gov. Russel's Surprises.

4 sensation was created in Raleigh,
y. :, Wednesday by the announce
ment that J. NJ. Mewbo the Fusion
superintendent Of the penitentiary, had
resigned and Capt. ". H. Day, Dem
ocratic lawyer, had been named by Gov
ernor Russell as his successor. Mr..

contemplated change in management.
Capt. Day has accepted the position,
and Wednesday announced that he
would fill all the subordinate Offices
with Democrats. He has already ap-
pointed R. J. Tillery of Halifax county
as manager Of the State farms and F.
B. Arendell Of Raleigh manager of the

A FATAL EARTHQUAKE
1t Causes Serious Property Dam
age in Southern California.
SIX sQUAws KILLED AT sABoBA

At That Indian Reservation the Only
Fatalities Are Reported. the vic
Tins being KILLED by Falling walls.
People Flee In Their Night Clothes.
Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 26.-At 4:25
o'clock yesterday morning severe
earthquake shock was felt over a long
portion of Southern California, the
undulations lasting about IL seconds.
The entire center of the shock ap-
peared to have been at San Jacinto, a
small town in Riverside county. The
business portion of San Jacinto con-
Bists of two blocks of two story build
ings, some Of which are built Of brick.
Ten of 10 buildings we're damaged,
chimneys being tCppled over and wells
cracked and shaken. The total dam
age at San Jaclnto and Hemit, a small
town near by, is estimated at $50, 900.
The large Tourist hotel at Hemit was
damaged and the San Jacinto also suf-
fered The rear wall of the johnson
block at Hemit fell No person was
injured at either place as far as known.
The shock was heavy at Santa Ana,
Anheim, San Bernardo, Riverside and
other places. but no particular damage
is reported except from San Jacinto
and Hemit. In this city no damage
was done, though the shock was par
ticularly violent
The only loss OF life so far as known
was at the Saboba Indian reservation,
where six squaws were killed by fall
ing walls and Two fatally injured. A
number of Indians were seriously in
jured. The shock was heavy.
At San Jacinto the main shock was
preceded by a loud, roaring sound and
awakened many Just in time to escape
from the doomed buildings. The busi-
ness street is such a wreck that tons
of debris had to be removed before the
buildings could be entered. The Shock
caused dry artesian wells to flow
larger streams than ever before. Con-
siderable damage was reported in
near by villages.
At Santa Ana the shock is described
as the seVerest In years. Third story
hotel guests were almost rolled out of
bed. Clocks were stopped all over the
city and the walls of several brick
buildings were badly cracked. Hun
dreds of people were on the streets a
few seconds after the shock, some ap-
pearing in night clothes and remain
ing up until daylight.
A dispatch from Anheim Cal says:
The heaviest earthquake shock ever
known here occurred at 4:25 yesterday
morning. It lasted fully ten seconds,
and was violent from the beginning
Lodging houses were emptied and the
streets were filled with shivering peo-
pie. A number of buildings were
cracked, but no serious damage was
done
